Xiao Han had killed five true qi realm bandits with his first level true qi cultivation. In the midst of the battle, he had opened several acupoints and stepped into the second level of the true qi realm.
It was truly shocking.
Of course, to be honest, killing bandits above his level was not something to be proud of.
Bandits were not like the direct disciples of sects. Their cultivation methods were crude and inferior, and they lacked true qi spiritual stones. They were a typical motley crew that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
"This … this … this guy …" The one-eyed man and the other True Qi stage bandits were completely stupefied. Not only did they not pounce towards Xiao Han because of the death of their comrade, their fighting spirit had instead become dispirited, and their fighting spirit was gradually being defeated!
"Let's go!
This guy … this guy has hidden his strength, he's not easy to deal with!
Let's retreat first! "The one-eyed man ordered and was about to lead his subordinates to scatter.
At this moment …
"Boom!"
Nangong Ye grabbed with his right hand. A giant palm made of true qi appeared out of nowhere and came crashing down like a raging fire!
"Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! "
Large groups of bandits were instantly set ablaze. With a crackling sound, their bodies exploded and died without a complete corpse.
"Xiu ~ Xiu ~ Xiu ~ Xiu ~ Xiu ~ ~ ~ ~"
Xiao Han's right hand turned into a blur. Hundreds of saber auras stacked in front of him and slashed out!
"Pu ~ ~ ~"
The powerful true qi saber aura was dozens of feet long. Like a rainbow, it was like an army of thousands of horses and horses, cutting through everything, killing people and ghosts. Mixed with a trace of saber intent, it seemed to possess an immortal aura as it rushed towards the bandits.
"Chi!
Chi!
Chi!
Chi! "
Enveloped by this powerful saber aura, many Physical Body Realm bandits were slashed into a bloody mist, leaving no trace behind.
Even true qi realm bandits were dismembered.
"Blazing Sky Furnace!"
Nangong Ye used his strongest move, the furnace that could incinerate everything.
It devoured all the surviving bandits, including the one-eyed man, and turned them into ashes.
The invading bandits were all annihilated.
The members of the escort team were relieved, but they quickly turned to look at Xiao Han and Nangong Ye quietly.
"I'm afraid you're not just an ordinary wandering cultivator …" Nangong Ye looked at Xiao Han with interest.
"Swordsman … Your Excellency is actually a peerless swordsman who has comprehended saber intent.
In the entire Beacon Fire Empire, the bladesmen who comprehended saber intent were all bladesmen.
Not many … Hmm, I heard that the youth from the Cloud Sect, Xiao Han, has comprehended Saber Intent.
Sir, it's time to take off your mask! "
Streaks of Dawn Fire.
It coiled around Nangong Ye's body like a fire dragon. He floated in mid-air, his eyes spitting out beams of fire. He looked like a god.
Xiao Han did not make a sound, but the tattoo on his left arm began to throb slightly.
"General Nangong Ye, you can try lifting my mask yourself.
I will definitely not disappoint you! "
Nangong Ye was heavily injured, so Xiao Han was not afraid.
However, it seemed necessary to spare Nangong Ye's life for now.
After all …
Xiao Han was still in the Southern Domain and was in a dangerous situation. There were many variables.
Should he continue to stay in the welcoming team and bluff his way through?
Until he left the Southern Region, or directly exposed his identity and activated the Demon God's Palm.
Start a massacre … Xiao Han pondered for a while.
Furthermore, Xiao Han had promised to protect Princess Mo Hen, so he couldn't just leave like that.
"Hmm … For a bladesman who comprehended Saber Intent, killing people above his level is as easy as eating and drinking water.
Furthermore, I'm injured, so you don't seem to be afraid. "Nangong Ye said slowly.
"But … you just killed those bandits above your level. Did you use up a large amount of true energy?
Moreover, you used Saber Intent consecutively, which exhausted your spirit … I'm afraid you don't even have 50% of your original combat strength?
Your Excellency should know that I am a demon hero and cannot be measured by common sense. To be honest, I still have some precious medicines that can reduce my lifespan in exchange for combat strength … Your Excellency, are you still as calm as water? "
"Hahahaha!"
Xiao Han laughed. "General Nangong, are you threatening me … I'll say it again, you can try."
Xiao Han's voice was very calm. His black cloak covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression, making him seem even more unfathomable.
Nangong Ye hesitated for a moment. The corner of his eyes twitched slightly before he smiled.
"Alright, everyone take a step back. Let's continue our journey first. We'll decide after we pass through the Blazing Sun Empire …"
Xiao Han and Nangong Ye smiled at each other with ulterior motives. Then, they returned to their respective groups.
Nangong Ye sat on the strange beast at the front of the group and waved his hand. "Let's go!"
Xiao Han returned to the side of Princess Mo Hen's chariot and quietly mounted a flood dragon horse.
The group prepared to set off again and pass through this city.
At this moment …
"General, what should we do with this bone arrow?" A True Qi Realm deputy general's figure flashed and jumped to the center of the plaza.
At this moment, the bone arrow that had sealed the Demon Emperor for ten years was stabbed into the ground in the center of the plaza.
The bone arrow was white and flawless, emitting a bitter and desolate aura.
The runes engraved on the bone arrow possessed a supreme aura that made the mountains and rivers tremble.
As deep as the sea.
"General, this bone arrow is really mystical. It's not an ordinary item." The deputy general bent down to pull the arrow out.
"Don't pull it out!" Nangong Ye screamed.
Unexpectedly, his warning was a step too late.
The deputy general seemed to want to pull out the bone arrow and claim credit in front of Nangong Ye. Without thinking, he grabbed with his right hand and pulled.
In an instant!
"Buzz!"
The bone arrow emitted a godly sound and Buddhist chants, and a huge rune appeared, directly enveloping the deputy general!
"Bang!"
The deputy general knelt on both knees, a complicated rune appearing between his eyebrows. His eyeballs were motionless, like a stone statue, and he still held the bone arrow in his hand.
He could no longer feel a trace of life from his body.
"Damn it!
It's been sealed! "Nangong Ye's facial muscles twitched.
"Too stupid!
Even the Demon Heroes of the Blazing Sun Empire do not dare to easily pull out this bone arrow … Go!
Go around the plaza! "
The escort group nervously went around the plaza and then quickly left this ominous city.
Xiao Han looked back and thought, "This bone arrow contains a terrifying seal. It seems to have the same effect as the Sky Demon's Investiture.
However, with my current demon power, I am still unable to release a seal as strong as this bone arrow.
But I believe that this day will come! "
"Mister Yun …"
At this moment, Hu Chenghe whispered in Xiao Han's ear.
"Mister Yun, I'm afraid we're in danger on this journey.
You saw for yourself just now, Nangong Ye actually went crazy and instigated the bandits to kill us. This is utter treason … I don't know if we can make it to the East Region alive … "
Xiao Han took out a few supreme grade true energy spirit stones from his storage ring and stuffed them into the dried up and newly opened true meridians. He licked his lips and said.
"If Nangong Ye was not injured.
He would have attacked me just now.
Plus, he would definitely want to get rid of the Princess's henchmen.
He is stalling for time, waiting for his injuries to recover. "
Hu Chenghe was a little frightened.
"Then … then … Mister Yun, what … what should we do?"
"Now that all my true meridians are empty, I need to refine a few supreme grade true energy spirit stones.
To replenish my energy.
Plus, the Blazing Sun Empire has many powerful monsters, including the Emperor of Japan and the Dragon Bone Saint Blade.
So … let's endure for now. Once we pass through the Blazing Sun Empire and enter the wasteland, we will immediately attack and kill Nangong Ye!
A gentleman does not stand in front of a collapsing wall.
To strike first, to gain the upper hand … "Xiao Han's eyes flashed with an uncontrollable killing intent.
"Once we leave the Blazing Sun Empire.
Attack immediately! "
"Mister … Mister Yun … are we going to attack Nangong Ye?" Hu Chenghe was shocked.
"There's no other way. Are we going to wait until Nangong Ye recovers before killing us?" Xiao Han was determined to kill Nangong Ye this time.
But in the Blazing Sun Empire.
He did not dare to attack, nor did he dare to use his demonic techniques as he wished.
"That … that's true." Hu Chenghe finally nodded his head heavily.
"Rather than being killed by Nangong Ye.
We might as well kill him!
Originally, we didn't want the Princess to marry to the Eastern Domain. This time, we might as well throw caution to the wind and kill Nangong Ye, then escape with the Princess!
It's better than marrying to the Eastern Domain, a foreign country.
Mister Yun, everything depends on you.
Hurry up and absorb the top-grade True Qi Spirit Stones to recover your True Qi! "
"Yun, you must protect Mo Hen."
At this time, Mo Hen also lifted the curtain, revealing her beautiful and delicate face. She was so beautiful that it made people feel suffocated, making people feel pity for her.
"General Nangong Ye … doesn't seem to have good intentions …"
Xiao Han nodded slightly. "Seventeen, don't worry. I will definitely strike first and eliminate Nangong Ye."
With that, Xiao Han did not waste any more time. He silently circulated his profound art and strands of pure true qi were refined into the Spirit Turtle True Qi and the Great Hornless Dragon Profound Ice True Qi, which were stored in Xiao Han's dried-up true acupoints.
At the front of the group.
Nangong Ye's face was hazy, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"General Nangong, that … that guy, is he really the Xiao Han wanted by the entire country?" A deputy general asked carefully.
"This Seat does not dare to confirm. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
However, that's not important. "Nangong Ye said coldly.
"When this Seat recovers, and my combat strength is at its peak, I will lift his mask and take a good look!
That physique tempering technique of his, this Seat wants to obtain it!
If he really is Xiao Han, that's even better. He stole the North Mystic Demonic King Crystal, it's a great treasure. If this Seat obtains it, I can exchange it for countless resources and secret techniques at the Yao Xia Pagoda! "
Pausing for a while, Nangong Ye lowered his voice and said.
"In the Blazing Sun Empire, do not be ostentatious. Let's keep a low profile and ignore that guy for now.
In the Blazing Sun Empire, including the Emperor of Japan, many of the strongest heroes are coveting Xiao Han.
If that guy is really Xiao Han, all the more we cannot let the Emperor of Japan and the rest take him away.
The Emperor of Japan, Dragon Bone Saint Blade and the rest are all vicious and cunning. If they interfere, how would I stand to gain? "
"Yes, yes, General Nangong, leave the Blazing Sun Empire's territory and enter an uninhabited wasteland.
I believe at that time, General's injuries will be healed. "The deputy general nodded heavily.
"En …" Nangong Ye thought for a while and said softly.
"Listen, pass down the secret order. Leave the Blazing Sun Empire and enter an uninhabited wasteland. Begin the purge. Kill all the servants around the Princess. Leave none alive!"
"This … General … kill them all?" The deputy general was shocked.
"En … the journey to the Eastern Region is too far and too arduous. We've only just entered the Blazing Sun Empire, and we've already lost so many men … I'm afraid there will be more problems before we enter the Eastern Region … forget it, forget it … sigh … this Seat has failed to live up to the Emperor's expectations … there's no need to go to the Eastern Region … it'll save the Princess the trouble …"
Nangong Ye's eyes flashed with killing intent and a maniacal sinister light.
… … …
Ominous City Plaza.
The deputy general who pulled out the arrow had lost all signs of life. He knelt in the middle of the plaza, his hand still holding onto the dazzling bone arrow that was intertwined with divine light and runic symbols.
Right at this moment …
"Weng!"
The bone arrow let out a divine sound and actually broke free from the deputy general's hand. Following that, it flew up into the sky and chased after the Princess' entourage!
