Although the blade's energy was silent, birds are born with a super strong sense of perception. With a lump of meat in its beak, it immediately spread its wings.

A massive black Dharma image appeared, stirring up a strong wind on the cliff.

The Dharma Image spread its wings, which were over a hundred feet long. With a single wave, a gust of wind flashed past, deflecting the falling blade energy.

boom!

The blade struck the cliff beside the Black Ancient Bird, instantly destroying half of the cliff face and scattering boulders across the ground.

A voice in the distance grunted in response, seemingly surprised that his attack had missed, and quickly struck again.

This strike was even more powerful than before; even before the blade's energy arrived, it already generated immense pressure.

The Black Ancient Bird cawed loudly, and one of its black dharma forms slashed down with its wing, using the wing as a blade to shatter the sword energy.

"You dare to ambush me? You despicable human, die!"

Just as the Black Ancient Bird was about to retaliate, Lan Hua used the Nine Heavens Moon-Grabbing Technique, which split the Invisible Arrow into more than two hundred arrows, each ten feet long, which shot towards the Black Ancient Bird from multiple directions.

The invisible arrow struck suddenly, completely catching the Blackbird off guard.

Moreover, after the Yuehua Bow is upgraded to a mid-grade immortal bow, and with the addition of Yuan Power to transform the string, the invisible arrows not only have an extremely long range, but the force on the arrows can also easily reach a million catties of force.

The invisible arrow, enhanced by the aura of armor-piercing arrows, is even more terrifying, not to mention that one arrow can split into hundreds of arrows, increasing its power dozens of times.

"Nine Heavens Reaching for the Moon" is an invisible arrow-like powerful move, designed to counter the Black Ancient Bird's Dharma form. The Black Ancient Bird was caught off guard and unable to cope.

"ah…"

The Black Ancient Bird screamed repeatedly as hundreds of invisible arrows rained down, shattering the black Dharma Image in several waves and turning the Black Ancient Bird into a beehive.

Blood, like raindrops the size of beans, splattered all over the cliff.

Lan Hua soared upwards, intending to catch the corpse of the Black Ancient Bird still in mid-air, but then saw a blade of energy slashing down again.

The blade slashed towards Lan Hua, who snorted coldly and drew a curved blade with her right hand.

Lan Hua casually swung her sword, unleashing a powerful blade aura that shattered the incoming blade aura.

"Huh? You're into knives too!"

The person who drew the knife exclaimed in surprise and quickly appeared in front of Lan Hua, but Lan Hua had already taken control of the Black Ancient Bird's corpse.

The newcomer was a burly man with a thick beard, dressed in a gray outfit, and looked extremely experienced.

Lan Hua asked warily, "I am Lan Hua, the newly arrived Black Ancient Bird Hunter. Who are you?"

The burly man was taken aback when he saw the immortal blade in Lan Hua's hand, and then said, "My name is Qin Cheng, and I am also a hunter."

"But hunting should be done in a first-come, first-served manner. I was the one who spotted this Black Ancient Bird first, and I made the first move. It's not right for you to rob me halfway through, is it?"

Lan Hua laughed and said, "Prey is inherently ownerless. Before you kill it, it's hard to say that it's yours, is it?"

He had already discerned that this person's cultivation was only at the ninth level of the Celestial Realm. Even if he was one level higher than him, he was still no match for him. Moreover, he had killed the Black Ancient Bird himself, so how could he easily give it away?

Qin Cheng could naturally tell that Lan Hua was no pushover, especially since the two immortal blades in the latter's hands were both mid-grade immortal artifacts, so he probably already knew that he was no match for him.

"Fine, it's just a black ancient bird, it makes no difference whether you get it or I get it!"

Qin Cheng then said, "However, I saw that Brother Lan's archery skills were extremely impressive just now. He is indeed a skilled hunter. Would you be interested in forming a team and going together?"

Lan Hua frowned slightly and refused, saying, "I'm perfectly fine hunting alone, there's no need to team up. Brother Qin, please do as you please!"

Don't be so quick to refuse!

Qin Cheng laughed and said, "Brother Lan, your archery and swordsmanship are indeed impressive, but do you know the whereabouts of the Black Ancient Bird?"

Are you familiar with this area?

Do you know where the Black Ancient Bird is found?

The barrage of questions made Lan Hua feel a little uneasy, and she quickly waved her hand and said, "Stop... I agree to your suggestion!"

Qin Cheng laughed and said, "Then it's settled. Come with me, and I'll show you how to do something big!"

As the two ventured deeper into the desolate mountains, Lan Hua asked, "Brother Qin, where in the lower realm did you ascend to heaven, and how long have you been in the Heavenly Realm?"

Qin Cheng stammered, "This... I'm from the Ancient Orchid Realm. I've been in the Heavenly Domain for twenty years, and I'm only at the ninth level of the Celestial Realm. I'm truly ashamed. Please forgive my foolishness, Brother Lan!"

In just twenty years, he had reached the ninth level of the Celestial Realm, which greatly changed Lan Hua's opinion of him.

"Brother Qin is too modest. To have reached the ninth level of cultivation in just twenty years is already the mark of a prodigy!"

Lan Hua's words came from the bottom of her heart. Although she had only been in the Heavenly Domain for less than two years, she had already broken through to the eighth level of the Heavenly Human Realm. However, that was because she had many fortuitous encounters and had taken many shortcuts.

Qin Cheng led Lan Hua deep into the mountains until they reached the vicinity of a peak several hundred feet high.

The peak was almost bare, and a powerful aura emanated from its summit.

"Hmm? Such a strong aura, could it be that he has the cultivation of the peak of the Celestial Realm?" Lan Hua asked.

Qin Cheng nodded slightly and transmitted his voice, "Pretty much. There's a big bird's nest on that peak, it belongs to the Black Ancient Bird."

"I've been investigating for several days now. That black ancient bird is extremely powerful, and I can't handle it by myself, so I'm looking for someone to team up with!"

Lan Hua nodded slightly, "I see!"

Using her extraordinary ability to see far and wide, Lan Hua tried to spot the bird's nest, but found the mountaintop bare and empty.

Qin Cheng laughed and said, "There's a recessed area on the summit that looks like an eave. We're currently behind that recessed area, so naturally we can't see it!"

Lan Hua carefully examined the surrounding terrain and discovered that the peak was not the highest; there were four other peaks around it that were even higher, and the distance between them was not far.

"No wonder it dared to build its nest on that peak. If we were watching from the sky, it would be very difficult to find that black ancient bird!"

"Brother Qin, how do you plan to hunt?"

Qin Cheng smiled. "Naturally, it will depend on your unparalleled archery skills. I'll be responsible for luring that black ancient bird, and you'll be responsible for delivering the fatal blow. How about that?"

Lan Hua nodded. "That's right, this fits my sniping role. In that case, I'll use the high ground on the right as my vantage point and lie in ambush there!"

Qin Cheng patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. I guarantee I'll create an excellent sniping opportunity for you, but you can't afford to miss, okay?"

Lan Hua brandished the Yuehua Bow and said confidently, "As long as you don't miss, I will never miss!"

The two split up. Lan Hua secretly flew to the highest peak, gripped the Yuehua Bow tightly in her left hand, and looked down at the mountain where the Black Ancient Bird was located, her Heavenly Yuan Power accumulating and ready to be unleashed.

Qin Cheng bypassed the mountain peak where the Black Ancient Bird was located and immediately unleashed a blade of energy hundreds of feet long, slashing towards the summit.

boom!

The terrifying blade energy sliced ​​the peak flat, followed by an angry voice.

"Which bastard dares to disturb Master Bird's peaceful cultivation? Does he have a death wish?"
