Apart from Xing Chenzi and the two hundred or so immortals around him, the rest of the scattered immortals in the Fourth Zone had all died at Xiao Han's hands.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The vast Fourth Zone appeared especially empty and cold, exuding the aura of a grave.
This was the grave of immortals!
Every inch of space was filled with the heroism, resentment, unwillingness, and ghosts of fallen immortals …
In other words, there were originally nearly 40,000 Immortals in the fourth region. Such a number of Immortals could form a small sect in the Immortal World. However, at this moment, such a large number of Immortals had withered away, leaving only about 200 people. This really showed the cruelty and tragedy of exploring Immortal Emperor Jue Dao's treasure to the fullest.
There was a feeling of natural selection to the extreme.
Xiao Han, the Black-White Child, and Yu Yangzi focused their gazes on where Xing Chenzi and the other immortals were.
In the dusk, the area where Xing Chenzi and the other Immortals were located was shrouded in an immortal glow. Rays of light were like pillars, magnificent and magnificent. Many defensive auras were being emitted, dyeing the sky in a strange and bizarre manner.
Boom!!!
Another ray of godly light burst out from the area, which turned into the shadow of a shield. It was engraved with many Immortal Formations, all of which were defensive in nature.
"Oh …" Xiao Han nodded slightly as he watched. His soul and psyche rippled over from afar, carefully inspecting the area. "I see. Xing Chenzi and the immortals around him are determined to defend to the death. They've all ignited their immortal Qi and dispersed their defensive barriers.
Some are burning defensive immortal talismans.
Some are even summoning defensive immortal treasures … Mm.
A few immortals are sitting cross-legged, traces of refinement flowing through their bodies. They're probably refining some defensive immortal treasure … "
Xiao Han had complete control over the situation, as if he were reading the lines on his palm.
"What a powerful defense …" Black-White Child said with focused eyes. "Even a level-three true immortal can't penetrate this defense in an instant.
Even a level-four True Immortal couldn't break through the defense in an instant … Hmm … a level-five True Immortal might be able to, but he couldn't tear it apart in an instant … This Son of Xing Chenzi had set up the defense in advance, and had even consumed his Immortal Qi and Immortal Power to support the defensive shield. In this way, they would definitely be hiding like turtles.
Being forced to this extent by Brother Xiao Han, this kind of thing.
Once news of this reaches the world of immortals, the Heavenly Court will be shaken and the immortal emperors will be watching … "
Yu Yangzi murmured.
"Burning immortal energy to raise up a defensive barrier is a huge consumption. Brother Xiao Han, even if we don't take the initiative to attack, they'll run out of immortal energy sooner or later. At that time, they won't be able to use their immortal items anymore.
Otherwise, we'll just wait for them to run out of immortal Qi … Hmph!
There were still more than ten days until the end of the fourth zone's preliminaries. It wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. Even if Xing Chenzi and the others had medicinal pills to replenish immortal power and immortal treasures, they had to consume immortal Qi to set up defenses at all times. Their demand for medicinal pills must be terrifying. Sooner or later, they'll run out of pills, immortal Qi, and food!
It's wishful thinking to defend to the death! "
Black-White Child nodded repeatedly when he heard Yu Yangzi's words.
"Brother Xiao, there's no hurry. We can either wait for Xing Chenzi and the others to run out of resources, or wait for them to relax and reveal a hole in their defenses … We have plenty of time anyway …"
"Heh …" Xiao Han rubbed his nose and smiled faintly.
"Of course I'm not in a hurry … However, I won't waste time with them today. I'll rest for the night and come back tomorrow morning to plot to kill Xing Chenzi. In short, Xing Chenzi is dead for sure. No matter what tricks he uses, I'll kill him!"
Then, Xiao Han, Black-White Child, and Yu Yangzi found a random valley, lit a bonfire, and rested.
Of course, the place they chose was close to Xing Chenzi and within Xiao Han's range of surveillance. Therefore, he could keep track of Xing Chenzi's every move at any time.
… …
Over at Xing Chenzi's side.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Immortal light surged!
Every immortal had dragon and phoenix Immortal Qi rippling on their bodies, rolling and steaming!
"Gulp!
Gulp!
Gulp! "
Gritting his teeth, Xing Chenzi took out medicinal pills to replenish his lost Immortal Qi and popped them into his mouth. "Let's see if Xiao Han dares to come after us with our defenses!"
After a brief pause, a vicious gleam appeared in Master Xing Chenzi's eyes. "Even if Xiao Han attacks from a distance, outside of the range of our immortal sense, I'll still be able to locate him in a split second. That way, I'll be able to unleash my offensive immortal tool, shatter space, and kill Xiao Han from a distance!!!"
Xing Chenzi looked at the immortals whose immortal auras were gradually dimming and shouted.
"All of you, take the medicinal pills to replenish the loss of immortal energy!
Don't be reluctant to use it!
Fortify the defense!
Reinforce the defense at all times! "
The Immortals took out pills from their storage rings and swallowed them as well.
However, some of the Immortals wept bitterly. "Big Brother Xing Chenzi, these medicinal pills are extremely precious. We don't have many with us. If we keep using them like this, I'm afraid... Besides, it's a huge drain on our defensive immortal tools..."
"That's right, Big Brother Xing Chenzi. We're burning our Immortal Qi to reinforce the defense at all times. Most importantly, we don't have enough medicinal pills to last until the last day of the preliminaries!"
"There's no way we can last until the end. What we fear the most is that Xiao Han won't attack us at all. If that happens, he'll be invincible. Once we run out of Immortal Qi, he'll come and reap our lives with ease..."
… …
The Immortals began to clamor.
"Shut up, all of you!" Master Xing Chenzi growled with a dark expression.
"I know what you're talking about," Xing Chenzi said.
"But Xiao Han is unstoppable!
You know it too.
Those Immortals who left us.
Xiao Han killed every single one of them!
If we don't set up defenses in advance, we'll be dead for sure!
We have no choice but to take a gamble!
There's no other way! "
After a pause, Master Xing Chenzi looked up at the sparse stars in the sky and murmured, "The Immortal Emperor is watching over us.
I hope Xiao Han will attack as soon as possible... and fight to the death with us... "
… …
Early the next morning, Xiao Han, the Black and White Children, and Yu Yangzi hovered in the air.
They were observing the Sons of Stars.
In fact, even though Xiao Han had been resting throughout the night, he had spared some of his attention to keep an eye on the Son of the Stars at all times.
"Hehe... As expected." Xiao Han nodded with a smile. "The Sons of Stars and the others have maintained their best defense for the entire night. They haven't relaxed at all.
It seems they're going to defend to the death... "
After a pause, Xiao Han's lips curled into a devilish smile.
"I believe that they must be feeling extremely anxious in their hearts. They hope that I will be able to charge through and fight with them …"
The Black and White Children also smiled. "That's right, Brother Xiao Han. The longer you don't attack, the more their Immortal Qi will be consumed. They're in a completely disadvantageous situation..."
"Forget it," Xiao Han said with a smile. "Let the Sons of Stars and the others worry for a few more days. Let them suffer."
"Brothers, let's rest for a few days. We won't take the initiative to attack during this time..."
The Black and White Children and Yu Yangzi both laughed. "Alright... let's torture the Sons of Stars a little."
As expected, Xiao Han and the others bided their time for the entire day!
… …
Meanwhile, on the Sons of Stars' side.
At night.
"Why isn't Xiao Han attacking?!"
"Why isn't Xiao Han attacking us?!"
"Xiao Han seems to have seen through our plan. He knows we're consuming our Immortal Qi!"
… …
As expected, the immortals were growing more and more anxious and tormented!
The Son of Stars trembled with fear. "How many more days can we hold out... How many more days can we hold out with our resources? Xiao Han, why aren't you attacking?
Are we destined to die here? I refuse to accept this!
I, the Son of Stars, am a peerless genius. Even an immortal emperor once praised me... I came to Immortal Emperor Jue Dao's treasure to temper myself and build a foundation for my breakthrough to the immortal emperor realm. I can't die like this... The Dao of heaven won't allow me to die at the hands of a mortal! "
… …
However, no matter how anxious the Sons of Stars and the other immortals were, Xiao Han didn't move at all. For the next few days, Xiao Han, the Black and White Children, and Yu Yangzi passed their days with ease, completely ignoring the Sons of Stars' movements.
They merely observed, and didn't take the initiative to attack.
Over the past few days, Xiao Han had also noticed that the Sons of the Stars and the others hadn't let their guard down even for a moment.
Their Immortal Qi remained at its peak, and showed no signs of withering.
Of course, this exuberance was a false phenomenon. The more exuberant it was, the more it meant that the Sons of Stars and the other immortals were consuming more and closer to death!
… …
There were only eleven days left until the end of the preliminaries!
Finally, the Sons of Stars couldn't hold it in any longer!
He knew that they could hold out for another two days at most!
The medicinal pills that more than two hundred immortals had brought with them to replenish their Immortal Qi were about to run out!
"What do we do, Big Brother Stars?
What do we do now?
This is bad!
We're running out of Immortal Qi!
The day we run out of Immortal Qi is the day Xiao Han attacks! "
"Disaster is upon us!"
"Big Brother Stars, we're on the brink of annihilation!"
… …
The immortals were terrified!
All of them were on the verge of tears!
"Argh!
Shut up! "The Sons of Stars were on the verge of going berserk.
"Now, scold them all!
Curse Xiao Han!
Curse him!
Cursing and cursing in the vilest language!
Provoke Xiao Han into action!
Curse him! "
In the face of death, this mighty genius from the Immortal World had come up with such a strategy that completely lost his bearing as an immortal.
Soon, the Sons of Stars were the first to throw their heads back and roar.
"Xiao Han!
You son of a bitch!
You lowly ant!
Scum!
You're cowardly and petty!
You're pathetic!
Do you dare to fight me?
If you don't, you're worse than a pig or a dog! "
The Sons of Stars' eyes were bloodshot, and he had lost all rationality.
Upon hearing Master Xing Chenzi's words, the immortals under his command also let loose a torrent of vulgar, vulgar words that sounded like street slang.
"Xiao Han, you son of a bitch!"
"Xiao Han!
You son of a bitch! "
"Xiao Han!
I curse your descendants, generation after generation, to be the most lowly, filthiest things!
Men are thieves and women are prostitutes! "
… …
Curses came one after another!
Shockingly!
Right at that moment!
A saber light flashed across the sky!
The shadow of a primordial dragon could be seen in the saber light!
It could destroy the nine provinces, crush the stars, and sweep through the world!
A domineering pressure of the Saber Dao descended from the sky!
It could crush the heavens!
"Heh … I'd planned to let you guys live for a few more days, but since you're so eager to die, I'll get rid of you in advance … Do you think you can stop me, Xiao Han, with that little bit of defense?
Hahahahaha … "
Xiao Han's voice came from afar, pressing down on them!
All around, there was an abrupt silence!
The immortals' curses came to an abrupt halt!
It was as if they'd been suppressed by a tremendous pressure!
Xiao Han had finally appeared!
"All of you must die!"
