Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 320 - 319: Luo Zuchen’s Sure-Kill Move

Shen Han had actually carefully studied his own ability to extract and apply attributes.

At present, his mysterious ability can only observe and add one attribute.

In other words, if an item already has an attribute affixed to it, he must extract the original attribute before applying a new one.

Shen Han had also tried to see if he could enhance this peculiar ability of his.

He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out how to enhance this ability.

However, Shen Han had some speculation in his heart that this ability could certainly be enhanced.

After all, how could an item have only one attribute?

The attributes he had observed so far were all the most prominent properties of the item.

As for other properties, they were naturally the attributes left behind by the item itself.

Just like affixing the attribute [Sharp] onto a sword made of refined iron,

the difference when affixed to a sword made of crude iron is indeed significant.

But if his ability to extract attributes became more refined,

and he could observe two or more attributes...

then his strength could advance by leaps and bounds.

After applying the attribute [Poisonous to the Core], Shen Han picked up the long sword and tried to strike with it.

The blade sliced through, injuring the plant it touched.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, the entire plant quickly withered away.

The orange attribute... it’s truly terrifying.

When sheathing the sword, even Shen Han was as careful as possible.

This poison; even a slight scratch could spell deadly danger.

After organizing everything, Shen Han then set off towards Anyang City.

After traveling for about four hours, Shen Han received a transmission of sound.

The transmission came from Dean Tianyi, and his voice was extremely urgent.

He had just received a message from Su Jinyu.

Luo Zuchen possesses a skill with a scroll incarnation technique that allows him to place incarnations everywhere.

And these so-called places are all the roads leading from the Land of the Far South back to Great Wei.

If Shen Han had perished in the Land of the Far South, then so be it.

But since Shen Han had returned by luck, in any case, he cannot let Shen Han go again.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han immediately became alert.

After some thought, he even considered that taking a detour might be an excellent choice.

But before he could retreat far,

a picture scroll slowly unfolded among the weeds in the distance.

As the scroll unfolded, it instantly ignited beneath,

flames consumed the whole scroll, and amid this annihilation, a phantom stepped out from where the scroll had been.

Unlike Shen Ye’s painterly method of summoning doppelgangers,

Luo Zuchen’s scroll incarnation clearly showed his appearance, even the mocking expression on his face could be seen clearly.

"Over the years, this old man has probably killed forty or fifty geniuses.

You are among the most difficult ones to eliminate.

I have truly spent quite a bit of effort on you."

The Luo Zuchen phantom in front continued speaking while approaching Shen Han.

Yet Shen Han did not give him the chance to fish in troubled waters, for every step Luo Zuchen took forward, Shen Han would take a step back.

"The Land of the Far South couldn’t kill you, I even feel like praising you a bit.

However, the better your performance, the more certain your path to death.

Everything stops here."

As Luo Zuchen spoke, something resembling a bamboo staff suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Stop struggling.

With Fifth Grade strength, you cannot oppose my incarnation.

Moreover, the greatest advantage that has brought this old man to this point is the pursuit of stability in everything.

I have already summoned the other incarnations waiting on the alternative routes.

Even if you possess some treasures, if one incarnation cannot handle you, how about ten?"

Luo Zuchen calmly moved towards Shen Han.

Pursuing stability in all matters is the first principle he adheres to in cultivation.

The more potential Shen Han showed, the more necessary it became for him to perish.

"Ever since this calamity—your appearance, Ye’Er’s condition has declined significantly.

I can even feel his frustration.

Especially, you even attempted to assassinate Ye’Er.

It truly shocked this old man."

The thing resembling an ominous bamboo staff in his hand swung out, accompanied by ripples of red mist, stirring along with it.

"This old man once asked Ye’Er what kind of death you, this calamity, should meet to ease his heart?

Ye’Er said he hoped your entire meridians would be broken, watching you die bit by bit...

The vicious hand you’ve dealt your elder brother warrants this death for you."

The words carried a sense of serenity as if Luo Zuchen were indeed speaking to a dying man.

"Zhaoyang, sever!"

Upon a command, the ripples transformed from the red mist seemed to heed orders.

It instantly surged, transforming into sharp spikes.

As Luo Zuchen himself claimed, he leaves nothing to chance in all matters.

The move with [Zhaoyang] is already the strongest attack his Paperman Incarnation can unleash.

The spikes pierced like beams of light, like electric or thunder.

Surrounding Shen Han, the Delayed Array had long been activated.

Despite its effects, the sharp spikes composed of condensed red mist were still exceptionally fast.

The Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step launched with full force.

Luckily, having stepped into the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm, his speed of movement had leaped forward considerably.

Shen Han’s brows furrowed tightly, his gaze focused intently.

In front of him was an Incarnation of an Immortal Realm expert.

The Immortal Realm is a layer jump in level difference. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Those red mist spikes were filled with terrifying threat.

With his bodily resilience, even a touch of the slightest would be unbearable.

With a sunken heart thought: "Flying Heaven Full Sword Momentum!"

In a flash, numerous sword shadows condensed above the firmament.

The sword shadows then cleaved toward the red mist and the scroll incarnation.

With all his Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm strength, summoning sword shadows, but still posed a bit of hindrance.

The sword shadows touching the red mist were slightly obstructed and would shatter into shadows...

Shen Han’s gaze grew increasingly serious.

Perhaps only with the power of laws could he contend with the abnormal phenomena of Luo Zuchen.

The sword shadows he summoned posed no real threat.

In a few breaths, Luo Zuchen’s strike missed, making him more serious as well.

He could already sense that Shen Han’s strength had taken another advancement.

"Where exactly did you learn the evil technique that allows your strength to improve so quickly?

Just a few months ago, you were still in the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm..."

Luo Zuchen felt fortunate for deciding to uproot potential threats.

If he had been lax and let Shen Han grow freely,

the trouble facing him in the future would indeed be deadly.

"Yet, Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm is still not enough."

The incarnation in Luo Zuchen’s scroll spoke lightly, accompanied by more murderous intent amidst his thoughts.

"Kundun, Chiruofeng, Chetige, Danyue, Zhixu, Dahuangluo, Dunzang, Xieqia, Tuntan, Zuozuo, Yanmao, Dayuanxian.

The twelve branches of the earth’s veins, commanded by thought, grant the cut."

With a single thought, life is taken.

Wary of variables, Luo Zuchen considered this move his sure-kill strike.
