Chapter 197 - 151 Elder Han Displays Divine Might, Slashing a Mid-True Martial Realm with His Sword_3
He had been holding back, hoping to give the Martial Emperor of the Yinyang Sect face and spare Tianxuan Mountain.
Han Li did not want to kill him here, as that would complicate matters enormously. The death of a mid-True Martial Realm Martial Emperor would definitely invite relentless investigation by the Demon Clan.
Even if he could escape detection, Tianxuan Mountain would not be able to, and would certainly be annihilated by the Demon Clan. Then his intervention today would be meaningless.
Down below, the Heavenly Sky Plural Ship hovered above the shattered Tianxuan Mountain Range, with everyone on board watching the scene in trepidation, unsure if the refined middle-aged man would continue to make a move.
If this True Martial Realm Martial Emperor were to retreat, their death today would be certain.
“Who is he? Why has he come to save us?”
Qiu Shuilin, Gongsun Yun, and the others were surprised and suddenly wondered about this issue. Tianxuan Mountain had no True Martial Realm Martial Emperors, with the strongest being the three Ancestral Masters who had returned.
Could this person be the Founding Ancestral Master of Tianxuan Mountain?
In the large pit, Gongsun Yun and the three Ancestral Masters were also guessing the identity of the refined middle-aged man. They knew he was definitely not the founding ancestor, as the first-generation master had long since died.
But with no ties to them, why would he extend his help? Was it simply because he could not stand by and watch injustice or was it to vanquish demons and protect the Tao?
“I had originally intended to spare your life, but why do you persist in uttering provocative words before me?”
Before his words had even faded, Han Li had already made his move. His right hand grasped the Zhenjun Sword, unleashing a powerful sword technique recorded in the Sealing Heaven Sword Canon.
From above the nine heavens, a long river of Sword Intent surged downward. With towering waves of Sword Intent and resplendent sword light spanning millions of miles, it carried the terrifying might capable of sealing all laws as it bore down upon Dugu Bing.
Seal the heavens! Seal the gods! Seal the demons! Seal the Buddhas! Seal the immortals!
Dugu Bing’s pupils constricted sharply as he sensed a formidable threat. With no time for idle talk, he immediately executed the Magic Blood Technique, causing his vital blood to burn wildly while significantly boosting his aura.
The Bloody Devil Spear in his hands spun, and one after another blood-colored wheels appeared, growing larger and more numerous, clashing with the river of Sword Intent.
Boom!
The river of Sword Intent surged furiously, and endless sword light burst forth, shattering all the blood-colored wheels and slamming heavily against Dugu Bing.
Dugu Bing spat out a mouthful of blood as the impact hurled him backward, crashing into the Tianxuan Mountain Range and causing large swaths of mountains to explode.
Hum!
Two brilliant sword lights shone forth again, slashing towards the severely wounded Dugu Bing, who, despite his injuries, coerced his Blood Demon Undying Body to function, and, wielding the bloody spear, tried to fend off the two sword attacks.
Spurt, spurt~
The Devil Spear was sent flying, Dugu Bing’s left arm was severed, and he was left with a gaping wound that was visible from both the front and the back. The Sealing Heaven Sword Intent rampaged within his body, frantically sealing his True Yuan.
Seeing another two sword strikes coming, Dugu Bing did not dare to resist and instantly executed the Blood Demon Escape Technique, escaping over a million miles in the blink of an eye, vanishing into the distance.
After using the Blood Demon Technique twice in succession, he entered deeper into the territory of the Yinyang Sect before finally stopping.
He looked back and realized the refined middle-aged man had not pursued him, feeling extremely frustrated. This time, he had suffered a severe setback.
Not only did he fail to seize Tianxuan Mountain and capture the Heavenly Sky Plural Ship, but he also sustained serious injuries, losing an arm, and particularly after using the Blood Demon Technique twice.
Although the Blood Demon Technique was a divine skill for escaping, it came with significant side effects. Employing it twice in a row had caused his cultivation to regress to the third layer of the True Martial Realm.
“If only I had given him face and not spoken so many provocative words,” Dugu Bing was filled with regret. He took one last glance and turned, not looking back as he returned to the Yinyang Sect’s gates.
