"You're dead … Brat … you're really dead … Even Cloud Rain Sect can't protect you!"
Shangguan Yi's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Sword qi shot up into the sky above his head. The sword roared like a dragon and the murderous aura around him rose steadily!
Formless sword qi continuously cut the air in all directions, emitting a fragmented 'chi chi' sound.
Shangguan Yi even ignored Xiao Han's provocation and sneered at those restless Jianghu martial artists.
"Whoever dares to come forward will be killed by this Crown Prince without mercy!"
"Your Highness, kill him!" The young lady with the treasure sword handed the sword over with the hilt facing Shangguan Yi.
In fact, most of the martial practitioners present did not dare to make a move against Shangguan Yi.
For the fugitives like Wolf of Mount Qi, the vicious thoughts in their hearts were extinguished in a flash. If they really wanted to fight Shangguan Yi to the death, they would have to eat a bear's heart and a leopard's gall.
Shangguan Yi was also a disciple of a great sect. A Blood Transformation Realm talent like Xiao Han, who was at the Viscera Refinement Realm, could not be compared to him. He was not easy to kill and if he was not killed, there would be endless troubles in the future.
At this very moment, various thoughts were flashing through Xiao Han's mind …
In terms of combat strength, Xiao Han's own realm and strength were far inferior to Shangguan Yi and even some of the martial practitioners present.
In terms of martial skills, Xiao Han only had one trump card – Sovereign's Descent. He did not know any other martial skills.
Only by using the Demon God's Palm would he have the ability to resist.
However, the Demon God's Palm was something that could not see the light of day and was suitable for sneak attacks.
Moreover, once the Demon God's Palm was released, no one must be left alive.
Those who saw the Demon God's Palm must all die.
Including Shangguan Yi, there were more than two hundred of them. Xiao Han had no confidence that he could wipe them all out and kill all of them.
If any one of them escaped, Xiao Han would no longer have a place to stand in Beacon Fire Empire or even the entire Southern Region.
Objectively speaking, Shangguan Yi's combat strength was indeed slightly inferior to Hua Rong's.
However, Xiao Han killed Hua Rong by pretending to be weak and launching a sneak attack when the enemy was unprepared.
Xiao Han was still no match for Shangguan Yi in a head-on battle. He had to use the same move he had used against Hua Rong.
"Damn it, if I had some time to properly cultivate the Indestructible Golden Body and the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist, I might be able to contend with this group of people …" Xiao Han cursed in his heart.
However, if his provocation failed and Shangguan Yi really wanted to attack immediately, Xiao Han would have no choice but to use the Demon Thearch's Palm to kill in order to save his life.
"I'll kill you like a pig or a dog!" Shangguan Yi grinned hideously at Xiao Han.
Suddenly, a white-bearded Jianghu man spoke to another Jianghu man beside him in an extremely low voice.
"I heard that this Shangguan Yi once sparred with an outer sect genius with the surname Xue from the Cloud Rain Sect and lost by one move.
Therefore, he hated the disciples of Cloud Rain Sect to the core.
This time, this outer sect disciple from the Organs Refinement Sect only offended him verbally, but Shangguan Yi actually used it as an excuse and wanted to kill … "
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Yi put his right index and middle fingers together and made a sword gesture. With a wave of his hand, a ray of sword light flashed across the air with a strong Metal Age Qi. The white-bearded Jianghu man's head flew off and blood spurted out from his neck.
The surrounding Jianghu men quickly retreated upon seeing the situation.
However, at this moment …
A bright full moon had already climbed to the peak of Crouching Bull Mountain silently!
It was like a celestial being!
Bright light poured down like spring water, illuminating the grassland at the foot of the mountain as if it was daytime.
A wisp of Moon Essence shot right at the small mound beside the deep pool, behind the crypt!
That 'Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower' absorbed the Moon Essence. In an instant, its petals bloomed and the medicinal fragrance climbed to the richest and most enchanting peak!
"The Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower has bloomed!
The medicinal effect is at its best! "A few Jianghu men immediately screamed.
"Snatch the herb!"
"Quick, do it!"
…
More than two hundred Jianghu martial artists swarmed like a tide. Their figures shot out like an arrow piercing through the clouds, rushing towards the mound!
"Get lost!
All of you, get lost! "The Qi Qi in Mountain Wolf's hands turned into two wolf claws. Afterimages flashed as he clawed at them.
"Poof!
Poof!
Poof! "The Jianghu men in front of him had their hearts and livers dug out. Blood gushed out and they fell to the ground dead.
"The Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower is mine!"
The scrawny old man whose Qi Qi had transformed into a wooden stake hugged his arms. He lifted the wooden stake and hammered it repeatedly, sweeping across the area. Those who stood in his way were defeated.
"Wooden Dragon Stake!
Those who stand in my way shall die! "
"Kid, I'll spare your worthless life for now. I'll take it later."
Shangguan Yi did not dare to be negligent. He threatened Xiao Han coldly and then flew towards the mound. He made a sword gesture with his index and middle fingers. Sword Qi surged and was unstoppable. It swept through a group of Jianghu men like he was cutting melons and vegetables.
…
The scene was a mess. In an instant, many Jianghu men died and the smell of blood filled the air.
However, Xiao Han did not act rashly.
Xiao Han stared at the cave and his lips curled into a cold smile.
Just as the Jianghu cultivators were charging towards the mound with no regard for their own safety, a ferocious beast roar suddenly burst out from the cave in front of the mound.
The next moment …
"Howl!!!"
A beast with a bull's head, four hooves and a snake's body scuttled out of the cave. It was enraged and opened its mouth to bite.
The beast's bull's head was the size of a water tank. Its eyes were like lanterns and it had a bloody mouth. Its hooves were split into five claws. Its snake's body was more than six meters long. Its tail swept across the ground, stirring up sand and stones and plowing out gullies.
It had been guarding this Nine-tailed Sunflower for decades. Who would have thought that the moment the spiritual herb matured, there would be a large number of humans trying to snatch it? Since it had already gained intelligence, it naturally would not give up so easily.
"Ah!!!!"
The beast bit the Jianghu man who was at the front. With a crack, it bit him into two.
"Bang!"
Then, the beast's snake tail lashed out violently, causing the air to explode. With an earth-shattering momentum, it swept away thousands of soldiers and instantly turned several Jianghu men into minced meat!
"Kill the beast first!
Then pick the spirit grass! "
The Jianghu men stopped and surrounded the beast. For a moment, all kinds of palm winds, saber lights, sword auras, and leg shadows were thrown at the beast.
"Swoosh ~ Swoosh ~ Swoosh ~"
Shangguan Yi was the most ferocious. He waved the sword with both hands freely. The sword auras were like rainbows, targeting the weakest parts of the beast's body to kill.
Pieces of scales were slashed and flew all over the sky.
The beast was in pain and roared. Its ferocity was completely aroused. It soared into the sky and pounced on anyone it saw. Its claws, teeth, and tail were all used.
For a moment, the humans and the beast were in a chaotic battle.
"Now!" Xiao Han seized the opportunity. The blood vessels in his body surged. With the help of divine power, he rushed out!
Xiao Han found a gap. He wanted to bypass the fierce battle between the humans and the beast and rush to the mound to pick the spirit grass!
"Stop!"
"Little bastard, you want to take advantage of this?
Die! "
"Preposterous!
Preposterous! "
…
In an instant, dozens of Jianghu men withdrew from the fierce battle. Some rushed to surround and kill Xiao Han. Some had the same idea as Xiao Han. They wanted to bypass the mound and get the spirit grass!
This included the stronger Wolf of Mount Qi and Shangguan Yi. They all pounced at Xiao Han with murderous intent.
At this moment …
"Bang!!!!"
A loud sound exploded from within Xiao Han's body!
This loud sound was like the wrath of the heavens. It was as if dozens of tons of explosives had been detonated. The sound was swift and violent. It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing!
Bone Explosion Style!
280 sounds exploded into one!
Moreover, after Xiao Han's physical strength increased, the power contained in his bones and internal organs gathered at one point and exploded instantly. The sound was more than twice as violent as before!
This sudden explosion caused the movements of the Jianghu men in all directions to freeze.
The Jianghu men with low cultivation were even thrown out. Some were dizzy and felt like vomiting.
Even the ferocious beast paused for half a breath.
In the nick of time, Xiao Han had already leaped over the cave and rushed to the front of the mound before anyone else. He reached out his hand and plucked the mound!
"You can't get it!
Go to hell! "
Shangguan Yi roared. His right index finger and middle finger formed a sword seal. A sword qi shot out like lightning and hit Xiao Han's back!
"Pfft!"
The back of Xiao Han's clothes exploded into pieces. The sword cut cut an inch deep into his skin. Fresh blood spurted out.
At the same time …
"Wood Dragon Stake!"
"Wolf Claw of Mount Qi!"
"Pfft!
Pfft! "
Two ruthless attacks landed on Xiao Han's back like lightning and the wind!
"You're still not dead?
You want to steal the Nine-Tailed Sunflower? Dream on! "Shangguan Yi sneered. He thought that Xiao Han was dead for sure after being hit a few times.
It was not just Shangguan Yi. Almost all the Jianghu men thought that Xiao Han's body would explode in the next moment.
However, Xiao Han took a few hits on his back. Blood spurted from his mouth, but his hands did not stop moving. He instantly plucked the Nine-Tailed Sunflower, rolled on the ground, and dashed into the Crouching Bull Mountain like a ghost!
"What?!"
Shangguan Yi and the rest of the Jianghu people were as shocked as statues.
In reality, it was impossible for Xiao Han to steal the Nine-Tailed Sunflower from under the noses of hundreds of Jianghu men.
However, there was always a chance of survival. Xiao Han used all his skills, calculated meticulously, and used all his trump cards. He grasped the only chance of survival and completed the impossible!
If Xiao Han only had the trump card of Bone Explosion, it would still be impossible for him to pluck the Nine-Tailed Sunflower.
After all, although Bone Explosion was ferocious, it did not have much negative effect on a Marrow Refinement realm martial artist, let alone a Blood Transformation realm martial artist.
Bone Explosion could only buy a moment for Xiao Han.
Moreover, Xiao Han knew that this moment was far from enough. The moment he plucked the Nine-Tailed Sunflower, he would definitely be attacked.
In that case, the Indestructible Golden Body would completely help Xiao Han complete the second step of plucking the Nine-Tailed Sunflower.
In the third step, after Xiao Han succeeded, he sneaked into the Crouching Bull Mountain without hesitation. He did not allow his thoughts to have any hesitation or sluggishness. He did not give the group of Jianghu men any chance to kill him on the spot!
Xiao Han planned before he acted. He dared to fight, dared to gamble, and dared to barge in without any hesitation. He was truly brilliant!
"Damn it!!!"
Shangguan Yi was enraged. He almost went berserk. He pulled out a sword from a girl's hand and condensed all the Sword Qi in his body into one point. The sword gleam was dark like water, and the sword force was unconstrained as it charged towards the beast.
Some of the Jianghu men also treated the beast as a target to vent their anger. They attacked it with all their might, sparing no effort.
After a few breaths, the beast was beheaded and completely destroyed.
Dozens of Jianghu men's corpses were left on the lawn. The bloody aura was overwhelming.
However, the hill was empty. The Nine-Tailed Sunflower that everyone fought for with their lives had already been taken by Xiao Han.
This was the greatest irony!
After a moment of silence, a Jianghu man suddenly said.
"Everyone … the Nine-Tailed Sunflower is a top-grade spirit herb for refining organs. That's right. However, after consuming it, it needs to be matched with some supplementary medicine in order to completely refine the medicinal power in a short period of time."
"Hmm?" Many Jianghu men raised their eyes and looked at the Jianghu man who spoke.
Shangguan Yi nodded slightly. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, that's true.
In other words, even if that kid consumed the Nine-Tailed Sunflower immediately, he wouldn't be able to refine much of its medicinal power in a short period of time … "He squinted his eyes slightly. His fair and handsome face was filled with ferocity as he said faintly.
"If we catch that kid now, we can still get the spirit herb by cutting open his stomach …"
"Let's do it!" The Mountain Qi Wolf stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.
"Enter the mountain immediately and kill that little bastard!
After we catch him, we'll cut open his stomach and take out the spirit herb! "
Some of the Jianghu men cowered and did not respond.
An old man sneered.
"Today's matter can no longer be settled peacefully.
That kid is a disciple of the Cloud Rain Sect after all. If he doesn't die and we set the tiger free, he will take revenge on us sooner or later.
It's very easy for the Cloud Rain Sect to deal with us rogue cultivators.
Therefore … that kid must die! "
With that said, many of the Jianghu men were ready to make a move and their murderous intent burst out.
"A gentleman does not stand in front of a collapsing wall. He who strikes first has the upper hand.
Let's not talk about the spirit herb first. Let's work together and find that kid and kill him first. We'll get rid of any future troubles! "
Suddenly, Shangguan Yi chuckled.
"Hmm, interesting.
That kid is only at the Viscera Refinement Realm, but he's able to withstand my sword qi and not die. I'm afraid he has cultivated a body tempering technique … Even in our Mingjian Villa, a superior body tempering technique is extremely rare … Alright!
Once we catch that kid, you can do whatever you want to him. If he consumes the Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower, I don't want it anymore.
I only want to force him to tell me his body tempering technique. I have no other request. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Jianghu men entered the Crouching Bull Mountain in a single file.
Shangguan Yi strode forward proudly and handed the sword to his subordinate girl. With his hands behind his back, he also entered the Crouching Bull Mountain.
The pursuit has begun …
