Not far away, Di Kan’s heart jolted as his eyes filled with shock. Gu Han had reduced Wu Han into a blood print in one strike?! Even if Di Kan was far stronger than Wu Han, he doubted he could survive Gu Han’s blow intact.

Then, Gu Han’s gaze shifted to Qi Jun. “Now, it’s your turn.”

Seeing what became of Wu Han scared Qi Jun senseless, completely lacking the bearing of a Holy Son. For the first time, he regretted ever provoking Gu Han. However, regret always came too late.

Watching Gu Han continuously approach, he turned deathly pale. “He said not to take revenge! You should listen to him! You promised him!”

“I lied to him. I feel so bad for him, but as for you...” Gu Han was silent for a moment. As he arrived before Qi Jun, his tone was filled with icy coldness and killing intent. “I will keep my word!”

He slowly raised his sword. Qi Jun descended into madness as if foreseeing his own miserable end. A bright light shone as he prepared to fight Gu Han to the death.

“Devour—”

He only had time to utter a single word when Gu Han’s sword came crashing down heavily. The earth trembled for a moment and another blood print appeared on the ground.

Suddenly, Murong Yan’s angry shout came from afar. “Yuan Gang, are you trying to run?! I’m going to beat you to death!”

It turned out that Yuan Gang had already fled at top speed into the distance. Even he knew their side’s situation was hopeless. Murong Yan and Shen Xuan were in hot pursuit.

Gu Han paid him no mind, his gaze shifting to Chu Kuang. “Your turn!”

Chu Kuang only had three followers left. Speaking purely of aptitude, they could be considered rare geniuses, with a high probability of becoming Holy Son candidates.

Now, seeing Gu Han slowly approaching, they couldn’t muster the slightest courage to resist.

One stared at Gu Han. “If you dare make a move, the Holy Master will—”

A streak of red sword light flashed, and the remainder of his words never had the chance to leave his mouth.

Another was terrified. “How dare you! We are from—”

Another flash of sword light passed, and he instantly followed in the footsteps of the previous one.

The last one trembled uncontrollably as he looked at Gu Han, who resembled a god of slaughter. He was filled with terror and despair.

Gu Han asked, “Are you scared?”

The man subconsciously nodded.

Gu Han remained expressionless. “Well, you still have to die.”

Another streak of red sword light flashed, much greater in momentum than the previous two. After cleaving through that man, the remaining force didn’t dissipate, sweeping down toward Chu Kuang.

Chu Kuang’s eyes were wide with fury, almost splitting their sockets. “Gu Han! Devour Heaven!”

Without hesitation, he used the Primordial Savage Devouring technique. However, due to his severe injury, the momentum had diminished by more than half. How could it possibly block this sword light?

The sword light tore the giant maw apart before striking Chu Kuang, sending him flying into the distance.

At the same time, an extremely overbearing divine sense attack fell upon Gu Han, stalling him briefly.

Seizing this opportunity, Chu Kuang struggled to his feet and soared into the air.

“I can’t die! I absolutely cannot die!” Having felt the threat of death, he lost all composure, acting like a madman. “I put everything at stake for a chance at rebirth! I’ve lost everything for this! I made the Dao Bell ring eight times, allowing my soul and body to perfectly harmonize. Give me time, and I will definitely be stronger than my previous self. This life of mine will be perfect!”

Suddenly, the sound of something ripping through the air came behind him. The sword light was on its way again.

Chu Kuang’s eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted in insanity. He expended almost all the potential he had, desperately resisting that sword light. “I can’t die!”

Unable to maintain his soaring state, he plummeted toward the plaza.

Without prior agreement, Di Kan and Zhao Mengyou immediately pursued. “Let’s go check it out!”

Now that things had come to this point, they no longer had much thought for the opportunities and pills here. All they cared about was how today’s events would conclude.

The people from three factions—the Myriad Transformations Holy Land, Yuhua Holy Land, and the Wu family from the Central Continent—had nearly been wiped out by Gu Han and Yang Ying. Even if the Flame Emperor showed his face, today’s matter would absolutely be difficult to resolve peacefully. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

***

The Profound Pill Camp was going to disappear soon. The humanoid figures were also becoming increasingly blurred.

Under Murong Yan and Shen Xuan’s furious assault, Yuan Gang spat blood again and again, clearly no match for them.

“Bastard, I’ll beat you to death! Benefiting from others while betraying them, you brat!” he roared again and again.

Not far away, Chu Kuang forcefully stood up again, blind to Yuan Gang’s plight. Gu Han was hot on his trail.

“Why?!” Chu Kuang stared fixedly at Gu Han, his eyes full of resentment and incomprehension. “In the imperial capital, in the secret realm too! And here as well! You should know the consequences of doing this! Why must you go to such lengths just for Yang Ying?! He’s a mere mortal physique, a waste even the Dao Bell looked down upon! Why stake everything for someone like that? Why?!”

Gu Han glanced back behind him, his tone was filled with killing intent and icy coldness. “You killed my friend. You must pay with your life. It’s that simple.”

However, with layers of buildings in between, he could no longer see Yang Ying. In the end, he simply raised his sword.

A trace of despair flashed in Chu Kuang’s eyes. “Gu Han, you know my background! I’ve already died once, I cannot die again! Even if I have to fight for my life, I absolutely cannot die again!”

He ignited his soul power. Though only a remnant soul of a Saint Realm cultivator, his soul power was far stronger and more terrifying than Gu Han’s. In that instant, a powerful aura erupted, immediately blasting Gu Han back over ten zhang.

“I was able to obtain another life! It’s a gift from the Great Dao! No one can kill me!” Chu Kuang’s eyes were filled with venom and madness. “That old blind man couldn’t! You cannot either! No one can kill me! I am destined to become the sole protagonist between heaven and earth!”

Gu Han coughed up blood repeatedly, but he seemed oblivious to his injury. Showing no fear of the immense boost Chu Kuang gained, he closed in once again.

At last, the killing intent and grief buried deep in Gu Han’s heart erupted completely.

“We were nearly the same. The only difference was that he lacked my opportunities, my encounters. That’s why I know better than anyone the pain he carried! He was just one step away. He could have lived... lived well. But...” He stared fixedly at Chu Kuang, a tinge of red appearing in his eyes. Hatred and killing intent intertwined, almost taking form. “You killed him! I want you to pay with your life! I want you dead, you must die!”

He ignited his soul power as well, activating the Blood Spirit Art once more.

Chu Kuang’s eyes were wide with fury. “Gu Han, don’t force me!”

Gu Han arrived before him in an instant. With a flip of his hand, a spirit seal immediately appeared in his palm. It was the Nine-Chi Coiled Dragon Seal. “Do you want to use a Saint Weapon? Even if you do, you will still die.”
