Extra's Strategy: Cultivate Protagonists, Become Invincible-Chapter 125: Burning Resources On Every Step

Han Xuhan, Mu Ran, and Xuanyuan Zhou escaped so quickly that it left the crowd of furious cultivators stunned. But the warning they had left behind did its job.

More than a dozen cultivators run off in different directions, all away from the portal in the grove. About half the crowd still remained, confident in their plan to ambush Shen Kai. They hid behind trees, bushes, and covers created by Mystic Arts.

The oncoming undead army would never know what hit them!

But what came through the portal was not an army of stupid, undead monsters! It was an organized group of powerful cultivators who were more than ready to mow down every opponent on their path!

The air crackled with the spells, Mystic Arts destabilizing the balance of qi within the forest. Roars infused with martial might, screams of pain, and noisy explosions rang through the ancient trees.

Han Xuhan was still close enough to the grove to sense the chaos behind him. But he didn’t need to look back to see which side was winning. The cultivators who had managed to break into the Holy Land’s depths were all outstanding fellows.

Moreover, Zhao Weiqing and his team had that tacit understanding among themselves because of being under the possession of a singular entity. Their teamwork would easily defeat the cultivators who hadn’t even seen them coming.

A few seconds later, he heard multiple voices and rushing footsteps following their trail. Not far away ahead, Xuanyuan Zhou turned to look back and urged hurriedly,

"Run faster, Attendant Xuhan! Zhao Weiqing’s side is catching up with you!"

Han Xuhan felt rather depressed. His speed was nowhere near fast enough to match up to Mu Ran or Xuanyuan Zhou. The cultivators chasing behind them were definitely much faster than him as well. His little experience of running from them inside the Holy Land had proved this.

"Seems like there’s only one way this is going to end," Han Xuhan muttered decisively, putting a hand inside his pockets.

Back when Han Xuhan had carved a way out of the stadium, he had arranged for a couple of power sources to provide protection to them against the fog outside the stadium. Later, the discovery of the large emerald orbs had rendered these small power sources useless. He hadn’t thrown them away, though.

Now they were finally going to be of some use. He was going to use them on one of the backup law fragments he had carved for self-defense while waiting outside the platforms in the third stage.

Establishing a mental connection with the qi inside the small power source right now was a difficult feat. And by the time he finished activating the law fragment, his pursuers were only dozens of meters away from him.

From his recent experience in battles, Han Xuhan understood very well that any second now, he would be struck by a deadly spell through some Mystic Art. Feng Jun’s elemental attacks were still fresh in his mind.

The fear and panic drove him to a ham-fisted success.

[ The carrier of this law fragment shall experience a temporary, exponential boost in terms of physical attributes. ]

It was a crudely made law, from what he understood. Usually, law fragments were rarely used over such vague conditions. To increase one’s physical attributes was a very complicated process.

Unlike the law fragments he had seen so far, where the job of the law was to create a lightning strike or teleport a person, physical enhancement had way too many delicate steps. But it wasn’t as if he had the luxury to think up something better right now.

A red luster enveloped his body as soon as the law was activated. It looked like he was running through a veil of bloody mist.

Han Xuhan felt his muscles and nerves tighten. His body began to undergo bizarre changes.

A rush of strength kicked in inside his limbs. His torso felt like a fresh engine moving with mechanical precision and power, adrenaline pumping, muscles swelling, eyesight sharpening, lungs pulsing stably, reflexes getting quicker, mind adeptly figuring out better and better routes ahead through the woods...

Han Xuhan’s speed increased exponentially. The loose robe he was wearing felt tight and confining. The power sources inside his pocket were constantly supplying energy, which was being transformed through the law fragment and pumped into his muscles like fuel falling within fire, enhancing his body with each passing second.

And this enchantment was only growing with each passing second!

Even his five senses seemed to have improved, as well as his sensitivity toward qi fluctuations. He could feel a large amount of qi following his moments at four o’clock. The qi suddenly moved in a coordinated fashion and transformed into something else that he couldn’t understand.

But it was clear to him that the owner of the qi had cast a Mystic Art, now that they had almost caught up, possibly to attack him.

Instantly, Han Xuhan’s body displayed superhuman agility, changing his route and diving behind a large tree to take cover.

Half a second later, the other side of the tree caught on fire soundlessly.

Han Xuhan’s limbs never stopped. He crawled and slid through the thick foliage and zigzagged through the denser parts of the woods, using the shrubs, trees, and even the taller grass as covers, springboards, and landing spots. freēnovelkiss.com

Soon, he caught up with Mu Ran and Xuanyuan Zhou... and then outran them, effortlessly.

"Underling Xuhan? How did you- never mind, I got it!"

Mu Ran gasped as soon as he realized the buff, smokey figure overtaking him was his underling. Seeing the red mist surrounding Han Xuhan’s body, Mu Ran seemed to have guessed what was happening.

Han Xuhan’s speed had already reached the level of a martial cultivator in the middle layers of the Physique Transformation realm, and it was still increasing sharply!

His mental connection to the power sources told him that there was not much fuel left. He had to make the boost count!

Calculating the time, it seemed that he would be able to maintain his current acceleration for five more minutes. But that would be enough. Most of his pursuers were normal Mystic Art cultivators.

They didn’t have any emerald orbs in their possession either, because Han Xuhan had snatched those away during his conquests through the fog.

After running for nearly two more minutes, Han Xuhan was pretty much beyond the vision of everyone behind him.

Just as he was ready to breathe a sigh of relief after looking back, he noticed a figure ahead walking through the woods steadily, heading his way.

Was this another random cultivator who had been attracted by the portal?

The figure noticed him as well and came to a stop, waving his hands. But Han Xuhan had no intention to stop by and have a chat. While running past him, he gasped out a warning before vanishing off further into the woods.

"Powerful demonic cultivators are coming! Run as fast as you can!"

The figure, who turned out to be an unfamiliar young man upon closer inspection, stood still in his position, staring in the direction Han Xuhan had disappeared in.

He muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Wait a minute... Isn’t that the voice of that insufferable brat?"
