Xiao Han knew very well how dangerous it was to deal with Shangguan Wudi, a powerhouse from the ancient times.
Every single one of the great figures on the Human Clan's Monster Warrior Ranking was suspected to be an immortal.
Furthermore, after reaching the Expanded Meridian Realm, every realm was like a whole new world. The difference was like a chasm.
Xiao Han's current battle strength was barely enough to fight against an Early or Middle Talisman Transformation Realm expert. However, compared to Shangguan Wudi's realm, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
If Shangguan Wudi was at his peak, he would be able to crush Xiao Han with a single breath. Now that he was at his peak, his battle strength was less than ten percent. However, his battle experience, mentality, and aura were still not something Xiao Han could compare to.
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Shangguan Wudi launched another fatal attack towards Xiao Han.
The palm of True Qi possessed the power of desolation. It was like a mountain crashing towards Xiao Han, crushing the world and destroying the nine continents.
Within the palm made of True Qi, supreme-grade Demonic Qi gushed out and morphed into numerous ghostly faces of the Demon Clan, crying piteously and waiting to be fed.
"Here he comes again!"
Xiao Han did not dare to be distracted at all. Almost at the same time when Shangguan Wudi launched the palm of True Qi, Xiao Han activated his demonic aura and executed Illusory Movement …
"Bang ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The sound of glass shattering could be heard. Xiao Han's mirror image was shattered!
"Pfff ~ ~ ~ ~"
Xiao Han's real body appeared on the left side like a ghost, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
He tried his best to dodge the attack, but he was still injured by Shangguan Wudi's True Qi.
"It's too strong … It's impossible for me to escape unscathed … Unless I drain all the demonic energy in my Demonic Veins and use [Illusory Phenomenon] once, I might not be injured, but that would mean that I would die even faster …" Right now, Xiao Han was very careful when using [Illusory Phenomenon] to ensure that he could use it continuously and not use up all his demonic energy in one go. Otherwise, the Heavenly Desolate Demonic Fruit would not be able to replenish it.
"I've withstood two of Shangguan Wudi's attacks. Now … Hmm … To be precise, I can still withstand eight more of such attacks … After that, I'll be beaten to a pulp just like before …" Xiao Han knew it very well.
Fortunately, while Xiao Han withstood Shangguan Wudi's two attacks, his left Monarch Beast Palm had also forcefully absorbed a portion of the high-level demonic energy from the two attacks.
The demonic light on his left arm was incomparably dazzling as he refined high-grade demonic aura, awakening his demonic veins continuously!
"Hmm?"
The second time, he still couldn't kill Xiao Han. This caused Shangguan Wudi to be slightly surprised. However, he had already lost all rationality, and had become a killing tool. Soon, he let out a shrill roar, and a demonic resonance sound came from his abdomen as he attacked Xiao Han for the third time.
It was still a huge palm of True Qi mixed with Demonic Qi.
In Shangguan Wudi's current condition, he could not use any of the True Qi Divine Art he had cultivated all his life. He could only summon a giant palm made of True Qi.
If not for that, Xiao Han would have been killed long ago.
"Third time!" Xiao Han was not distracted. He once again executed Illusionary.
"Pfff ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" He vomited blood again!
The fourth attack!
The fifth attack!
The sixth attack!
…
Just like that, Shangguan Wudi kept chasing after Xiao Han, while Xiao Han kept distributing his demonic energy and executed Illusionary. He paid the price of getting injured in order to survive.
Every time Xiao Han dodged Shangguan Wudi's attack, he would absorb a portion of Demonic Qi from Shangguan Wudi's True Qi attack.
…
"Pfff ~ ~ Pfff ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han's face was as pale as paper, and he kept coughing up blood. However, his eyes were like an eagle's, staring at Shangguan Wudi coldly.
"I've already withstood six attacks … I can block four more … At most, I can block four more attacks …"
"Uh …" At this moment, Shangguan Wudi's cloudy eyes occasionally showed a hint of rationality. However, this kind of expression could only last for a tenth of a second, or even a few tenths of a second. After that, it disappeared like a flickering shadow, and was replaced by a numb and crazy state.
However … the disgusting pus that covered Shangguan Wudi's face and body had all disappeared.
It should be known that every time Shangguan Wudi attacked with True Qi, the supreme Demonic Qi contained in his body was secreted from his body, and part of this Demonic Qi had been absorbed by Xiao Han.
For example, if Shangguan Wudi had ten percent Demonic Qi in his body, then after attacking Xiao Han six times, ten percent of the Demonic Qi in his body had been absorbed by Xiao Han, leaving him with ninety percent.
Although this ten percent Demonic Qi was far from being able to eliminate all the Demonic Qi in Shangguan Wudi's body, it was enough to alleviate and comfort him …
"Little ant!
I will trample you to death!
I will trample you to death!
You caused me to be trapped for a thousand years!
You will die!!!! "Shangguan Wudi was still mad.
Another palm made of True Qi slammed toward Xiao Han.
The seventh attack!
"Xiu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Xiao Han's body turned into a residual shadow and disappeared …
"Puchi!"
The residual shadow exploded.
When Xiao Han's real body stabilized, he was shaking in the void and vomiting blood continuously.
"My injuries are getting worse … I can only withstand three more attacks …" Xiao Han's face was as pale as a piece of paper as he looked at Shangguan Wudi.
"I have absorbed a lot of Shangguan Wudi's Demonic Qi … I only hope that he can regain a little bit of his sanity … but …" Xiao Han complained in his heart.
"Hahahaha … You want to kill time with me?
Hahahaha … Good!
Let me see how long you can kill me!
Die! "
Shangguan Wudi was really crazy. He attacked Xiao Han for the eighth time!
"Bang!"
The aftermath of the True Qi attack shook the heaven and earth. The whole ground of the ruins was cracked, and many palace ruins were turned into powder by the True Qi …
"Pu ~ ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han kept vomiting blood, and there were shallow cracks on the surface of his body!
Blood kept gushing out … Moreover, his Demonic Qi was almost used up.
"Oh no …" Xiao Han felt that his body's condition was getting worse and worse.
His vision started to blur.
"Shangguan Wudi!
You are a giant of the human race, not a lunatic!
I can help you get rid of the Demonic Qi in your body!
So that you can rise again! "Xiao Han roared angrily.
"Wake up!"
"Huh?"
Shangguan Wudi was stunned. His cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and he stared at Xiao Han. After a few breaths.
"You … I think … I think I've seen you somewhere before … You are?"
"You seem to be waking up!" Hearing this, Xiao Han was overjoyed.
So far, Xiao Han had absorbed a lot of Demonic Qi from Shangguan Wudi's body eight times in a row, which was equivalent to reducing the burden on Shangguan Wudi to a certain extent.
Xiao Han also hoped that Shangguan Wudi could regain a little bit of his sanity and sit down with him to talk. Xiao Han also could not stand it anymore.
"We've met before!" Xiao Han took the opportunity and shouted.
"If I didn't break the seal for you, you would have been sent back to the Yaoxia Pagoda!
The upper echelons of the Yaoxia Pagoda are selfish and cruel. They will definitely destroy you! "
"The upper echelons of the Yaoxia Pagoda?"
Shangguan Wudi seemed to be thinking. Then, a gloomy and violent murderous intent flashed across his eyes. His facial muscles twitched again, and his aura instantly became crazy.
"Kill!!!
You are the upper echelon of the Yaoxia Pagoda!
Kill!
Kill you!
You deserve to die! "
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The ninth attack was aimed at Xiao Han!
"Shit!"
At this moment, Xiao Han's eyelids were as heavy as lead, and his head was dizzy. He wanted to fall asleep, and his body was covered in blood. Facing Shangguan Wudi's ninth attack, his reaction was half a beat slower!
It was too late to use Illusory Movement!
All of a sudden, Xiao Han's front, back, left, right, up, down, and around him were all confined!
His life was hanging by a thread!
"Damn it!"
Xiao Han spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body shone with a golden light. He activated his Indestructible Golden Body to the extreme. At the same time, his left arm flashed with a demonic light, and he struck out with the Monarch Beast Palm!
Earth-Shattering!
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~"
The Monarch Beast Palm and Shangguan Wudi's True Qi Giant Palm collided in the void!
"Boom!"
The spatial greyspace suddenly exploded!
The void dimmed, and countless vortexes were formed in all directions.
The ground collapsed.
"Hahahaha!
You're still not dead!
Suppress! "
Shangguan Wudi laughed wildly. He activated the True Qi Giant Palm and pressed forward, suppressing Xiao Han's Monarch Beast Palm.
The power of the Monarch Beast Palm was temporarily inferior to the True Qi Giant Palm, and it was forced to retreat inch by inch.
Xiao Han bled from his seven orifices due to the aftershock of the true energy!
"Puchi!"
Even Xiao Han's legs sunk into the ground!
However …
"Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~ Whoosh ~ ~"
The Monarch Beast Palm and the True Qi Giant Palm clashed, causing all the demonic aura on the True Qi Giant Palm to be sucked into the Monarch Beast Palm, like a whale swallowing seawater.
After a few breaths, the Monarch Beast Palm was no match for the True Qi Giant Palm, and it was forcefully suppressed and returned to Xiao Han's left arm …
"Puff ~ ~ ~ ~"
Xiao Han spat out a mouthful of blood. His vision turned black, and his mind went blank.
At this moment, Xiao Han's aura was weak, and all the demonic power in his body was exhausted. His flesh shell was almost destroyed, and he could not even move his fingers …
Xiao Han's legs sunk into the ground, and his hands twitched unconsciously. He wanted to raise his head, but he had no strength …
"Am … am I going to die?" Such a thought suddenly flashed across Xiao Han's mind.
"Am I going to … die like this …"
"Dong ~ ~ Dong ~ ~ Dong ~ ~ Dong ~ ~ ~"
The sound of footsteps came closer.
Xiao Han could even hear Shangguan Wudi's heavy breathing.
"Awooo ~ ~ ~ Awooo ~ ~ ~"
In addition, there was a sharp and miserable demonic cry coming from Shangguan Wudi's body.
"I'm going to die in the Demon Metropolis in the end … but … I didn't die in the hands of the Demon Clan, but in the hands of a human, and an ancient giant at that. This … this is really ironic …" Xiao Han could only smile bitterly.
His injuries were too serious, and he could not even open his eyes. He could only feel that Shangguan Wudi had walked to him and then stopped.
Time seemed to have stopped suddenly.
"Is death … coming?" Xiao Han was unwilling to accept this.
However …
"En, so it's you … You wore a silver mask and released me from the prison cart … Hahahaha … I thought you had been killed by the other trash Demon Emperors. I didn't expect you to still be alive … Hahahaha …"
Shangguan Wudi's voice rang in Xiao Han's ears.
This voice was less crazy, and finally regained some rationality!
… …
… …
… … (To be continued.)
