Gathering in the mountains, Qin Fu stood silently, meditating to recover his mana. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. After using the power more frequently, he no longer needed prolonged meditation. The recovery effect was weaker, but it was still a considerable improvement.
As Qin Fu replenished his mana, a violent aura erupted from the cave. He stopped meditating immediately and directed the barrier of "Void Missiles" toward the cave entrance.
As long as something came out, it would be bombarded to pieces.
A black shadow surged forward. Without hesitation, dozens of 'Void Missiles' detonated instantly. Countless tiny energy waves converged on the shadow.
[The power of the void hits the elite creature. Intelligence judgment in progress. Judgment failed. Confinement invalid.]
The prompt rang sharply in Qin Fu's ears, and his pupils constricted. Instantly, he compressed the space and retreated.
Mounted on Gu Gu's back, he watched the black shadow. As the smoke and dust dissipated, he saw the savage's torn clothes, but no serious injuries—just scratches at most.
"You killed my pet and disturbed my dream!" the savage roared. "I'll kill you now!"
Qin Fu curled his lips in disdain. Words were useless. From the moment the savage began chasing him, survival was never an option.
[10 mana points consumed. Basic detection activated. Following information obtained.]

Seeing the savage's near-invincible stats and deceptively simple skills, Qin Fu felt a twinge of unease. His own strength seemed inadequate.
Plan: strike first. If he could not win, escape. Deal with the main mission, then return with Wu Liuqi and the others to finish the job.
He raised his hand and unleashed a full-power strike of 'Void Power Cang'.
"Gu Gu, interfere when you see the opening!"
With a shout, Qin Fu leapt, the scepter in his hand gathering void energy. In a blink, several silver-gray energy spheres surged toward the savage.
The savage countered with a punch. The force compressed the air, and the energy cannon collided with Qin Fu's spheres. A violent explosion rocked the area. Qin Fu did not panic. He adjusted his position, using the repulsive force of several 'He' to maintain control.
A faint smirk crossed the savage's lips. He repeated the old technique, but this time the energy spheres did not explode. Instead, they became air cannonballs. The dissipated 'Cang' resurfaced, forming a cage around the savage.
Under the dual effect of repulsion and gravity, his body reddened as if about to burst.
Qin Fu's pursuit continued.
"Coo!" he shouted.
"Oh!"
Gu Gu's "Food Dream" played, forcibly restraining the savage despite his formidable attributes.
Before the scepter, void power gathered once again. Two silver-gray spheres merged continuously, and the surrounding space began to warp and twist.
he mana in Qin Fu's body vanished like opening a floodgate, pouring out uncontrollably.
Just as the savage was about to break free from control, the charge completed.
In an instant, a terrifying energy wave erupted, crashing straight toward the savage. The force was immense, as if it could tear the moon from the sky.
Not far below, Baiye Village began to stir. The village chief looked toward Juling Mountain with solemn eyes and muttered.
"What a terrifying power. Has the current Shadow Assassin really reached this level?"
"It seems the rivers and lakes are about to witness another bloody storm."
High in the mountains, Qin Fu panted atop Gu Gu's back, staring at the cave. His combination of dual control and explosive attacks was formidable. Even Su Xiao might struggle to resist this full-power assault. He still did not believe the savage was invincible.
Before he could calm his racing thoughts, a bloody black shadow shot into the sky. The invisible internal force coalesced into a massive dragon. Its roar reverberated through the valley.
"Ten Directions! Invincible!"
Seeing the savage still brimming with strength, Qin Fu's expression darkened. He commanded Gu Gu to ascend rapidly, launching a few shots with his remaining mana.
The savage's health had plummeted to fifty percent. Qin Fu had anticipated this, yet a weight pressed on his chest. This creature's vitality was unusually tenacious.
Gu Gu dodged the savage's attacks midair. Fortunately, he could not fly freely; he relied solely on agility and raw strength to stay aloft. Flying higher would buy some breathing room, but it was only a temporary solution.
Qin Fu's mana was depleted. Facing the strongest being in this world while enraged, it was a fool's dream. Yet surrender was not an option.
Huh!
He forced himself to calm down and assessed his state. Only ten mana had recovered. At this rate, it would take two hours to regain even a fraction of his strength. Gu Gu, meanwhile, waited to strike with his "Food Dream".
If the savage recovered faster than him, it could spiral into a deadlock. He had no choice but to gamble.
Deciding swiftly, Qin Fu leapt from Gu Gu's back and shouted.
"Gu Gu! Cover me!"
Shriek!
The savage on the ground, seeing Qin Fu leap alone, grinned with malicious delight. Two punches erupted in succession, internal force enveloping devastating power, aimed straight at Qin Fu.
In midair, Qin Fu's eyes glowed faintly, his expression calm. Mana surged through him as he compressed space, appearing directly before the savage.
The savage froze, clearly unprepared for Qin Fu to close the distance so boldly.
He laughed fiercely and swung a punch.
Qin Fu did not flinch. Void power coiled over the scepter, and he struck with a teleporting assault.
The savage sensed the danger and instinctively withdrew his fists, narrowly avoiding the blow.
Qin Fu then gathered void energy at the scepter's tip, forming a silver-gray sphere that shot toward the savage. The savage dodged with agility, but Qin Fu's next move stunned him.
The scepter twisted in Qin Fu's hand, smashing toward him like a massive bat. If it connected, it could crush him into the Kui Treasure Book.
He pressed down with both hands, surging internal force to lock against Qin Fu. The clash made them deadlocked.
A faint wind swept past the savage's head. His pupils constricted, and an explosive surge shook him backward, sending him off guard.
Qin Fu remained composed. As the savage's force hit him, he fell backward while the silver-gray sphere at the scepter's tip unleashed an energy wave.
The savage realized he could not evade it. He forced internal energy to block the wave.
Qin Fu watched as the savage's health dropped to forty-seven percent. He allowed himself a small sigh of relief.
