Death, a word once so distant, now seed so close. Lan Xi's mind went blank, her heart filled with despair. She lost all sensation, feeling like a fish suffocating out of water.
But in the next mont, a figure appeared before her, blocking the fatal sword strike. Everything seed to return to normal as Lan Xi stared dumbfounded at the back of the figure before her, unsure of what to say.
Who is this? Why save ?
Question marks blood over her head, but for the mont, no answers were forthcoming.
"Xiaowan, tend to her wounds!"
Just then, the figure spoke. His voice was magnetic, like the cooling babble of a mountain stream, pleasant to the ear.
But who is he talking to? My na isn't Xiaowan!
The next mont, Lan Xi saw a familiar face and realized 'Xiaowan' referred to Zhang Xiaowan.
"Sister Lan Xi, quickly take this Healing Pill!" Zhang Xiaowan quickly pulled Lan Xi back, simultaneously taking out a Healing Pill and feeding it to her. She wasn't worried about Su Han's safety in the slightest. Even Di Yuan and Qing Wu had perished at his hand, let alone a re cultivator at the Fifth Layer of the Divine Power Realm.
At this mont, the tall, thin man from the Demon Slayer Sect saw Su Han intervene. His gaze sharpened, overflowing with murderous intent.
"Who are you?"
Although he had heard of Su Han, he didn't recognize him. Sensing that Su Han's strength was at the Sixth Layer of the Divine Power Realm, he considered the situation sowhat tricky, but he did not retreat. Slaying Lan Xi was his mission, and he would not return until he had succeeded.
"The one who will kill you!"
The cold words left Su Han's mouth. In the next instant, he gripped the Black Blade and charged straight at the tall, thin man. The Defying Heavenly Demon Will transford Su Han's aura into sothing truly terrifying, akin to a reincarnated Demon Emperor, causing the man's expression to change drastically.
"Heaven and Earth Physique!"
"Physique Fusion!"
"Low-Grade Divine Skill: Slaughter Break Wolf!"
Feeling an imnse sense of crisis, the tall, thin man dared not be careless and imdiately unleashed his most powerful Divine Power Technique. His murderous intent rapidly condensed, rging with his Spiritual Energy to form a hundred-ter-tall gray wolf. The wolf was terrifyingly lifelike, exuding a feral and berserk killing intent.
"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"
This man was rely an ordinary prodigy with no Special Physique or precious treasures; he posed no threat to Su Han. At that mont, Su Han donned the Dragon Silkworm Silk Gloves, clenched his left fist, and launched a direct punch.
Golden Qi-Blood surged. It was backed by a force of three billion jin, one hundred and twenty-eight pieces of Great Luo Golden Bone, the enhancent of the Secret of the Soldier Character, and the power of the Defying Heavenly Demon Will. This single punch had the terrifying power to destroy cities and annihilate the land; it was utterly horrifying.
BOOM!
A Golden Fist Radiance erupted, colliding with the tall, thin man's Divine Power Technique. The hundred-ter wolf let out a pitiful howl and held on for only a mont before being blown apart by the punch. Su Han's fist, however, continued unabated. It tore across the sky and, before the man's terrified eyes, slamd into his body.
This punch was unstoppable, breaking through all defenses. The tall, thin man had no ti to take out any other treasures before his body was pierced through, killing him on the spot.
One punch, and the tall, thin man was dead.
Su Han felt no sense of accomplishnt for the kill. He casually tossed the corpse to the Great Majestic Demon King. The blood and flesh energy absorbed from Jing Yun had been nearly depleted in the previous battle in the basin, and the Great Majestic Demon King needed more fresh sustenance.
But when this scene registered in Lan Xi's eyes, her beautiful gaze flickered, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"Sister Lan Xi, how are you feeling now?"
Although Zhang Xiaowan's relationship with Lan Xi wasn't as close as hers with Tongyan, there was no enmity between them, so there was certainly no need for any sisterly scheming.
"I'm much better now. Thank you."
After taking the Healing Pill, Lan Xi's injuries had stabilized. The wound stopped bleeding and was gradually healing. By now, she had also recognized Su Han and was shocked by the surge in his strength. After all, before they entered the Dragon Palace Ruins, Su Han was rely at the Ninth Layer of the Physique Realm. How long had it been, and he had already surpassed her?
"Sister Lan Xi, how did you end up being chased by assassins from the Demon Slayer Sect? Did you run into so kind of trouble?" Zhang Xiaowan asked, a question Su Han also wanted an answer to.
Hearing Zhang Xiaowan's question, Lan Xi shot to her feet with an anxious expression. "This is bad! Tongyan is in danger!"
As soon as Lan Xi spoke, the expressions on Su Han's and Zhang Xiaowan's faces changed.
"What happened to Sister Tongyan?" Zhang Xiaowan quickly asked. She shared a deep sisterly bond with Tongyan and couldn't bear the thought of any misfortune befalling her.
"There's no ti! Let's talk on the way!" Lan Xi's anxious face made it clear the situation was grim.
Su Han swiftly brought out the Thunder Light Treasure Ship. Under Lan Xi's guidance, the three of them shot off into the distance. Su Han used the Secret of the Soldier Character to control the ship, feeding it Supre Grade Spirit Stones to push its speed to the absolute maximum.
As they traveled, Lan Xi finally explained the entire situation. "I t Tongyan after entering the central region. She has the Qi Holy Body, so she was placed there directly upon entry. She found quite a few opportunities, and her strength increased rapidly.
"Later, we started traveling together, planning to seek opportunities at Enlightennt Cliff. On the way, Tongyan discovered a Dragon Scale Fruit. However, as she was about to pick it, assassins from the Demon Slayer Sect ambushed us. She was seriously injured.
"To protect , Tongyan split from . She drew away most of the assassins, while I was also being pursued. If you hadn't arrived, I'm afraid I would be dead by now!"
The Demon Slayer Sect again!
Su Han's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them as his killing intent intensified.
That Demon Cult, famous for its assassins, is truly detestable. This ti, I'll settle all scores, new and old. I'll kill them all and leave none alive.
"By the way, you have to be careful," Lan Xi added, "There are three assassins from the Demon Slayer Sect in total. Besides the one from just now, there are two others: Li Wuxie and Bai Qiushui. They are both among the Demon Slayer Sect's Seven Great Slaughter Stars and are powerhouses at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Power Realm."
The Myriad Treasures Pavilion had its ten sequences, and similarly, the Heavenly Demon Cult had its Seven Great Slaughter Stars. All of them were heavenly prodigies cultivated with great care. Li Wuxie and Bai Qiushui were ranked in the upper-middle among the Seven Great Slaughter Stars. Even if Tongyan had found a great opportunity and her strength had increased trendously, she was still only at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Power Realm. There was no way she could withstand both of them at once.
No wonder Lan Xi said Tongyan was in danger; being hunted by two of the Great Slaughter Stars ant her situation was indeed critical.
"Whoever dares to harm a single hair on Tongyan's head, I will tear them to pieces!" Su Han vowed as he pushed the Thunder Light Treasure Ship with all his might. An overwhelming killing intent surged within his clear eyes.
Tongyan showed great kindness. No one can touch her. Anyone who tries will die!
