“Huh?”
Nan Qinghai also sensed that something weird was going on in his body. He narrowed his eyes and remarked, “What a powerful demonic seal!”
He then made eight defensive moves in a row to discharge that weird feeling. Yet, the sound waves generated by the bell also began to be offset.
The impact created by the jets of energy gradually made the Dark Blood Seal fade and eventually dissipated under Zhang Han’s command.
Fighting against a Grand Master in the Yuan Ying Realm with all his force was indeed energy-consuming.
“Han, you…”
Zhang Mu was really amazed this time.
He started to eye Zhang Han in disbelief.
He had thought that Zhang Han would let Zi Yan launch an attack to fight against the master of the Wind Snow Temple. But who would have thought that he fended off the enemy’s strike head-on all by himself? Zhang Han was merely at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage! But he already had the power to fight against a Grand Master in the Yuan Ying Realm, didn’t he?
“Ahem…”
The corner of Zhang Guangyou’s mouth twitched in astonishment. He, too, had no idea what to say at the moment. It seemed that his son’s strength could never be measured with common standards.
Dong Chen’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“Han is still so awesome even in the Kunlun Immortal World!”
“Master, you’re invincible!” Mu Xue shouted.
Her body trembled with excitement. And so did her plump breasts, which attracted a lot of people’s attention.
Zhao Feng and the others all looked at Zhang Han with admiration.
In a Cultivation World like the Kunlun Immortal World, many people were not particularly loyal to their sect. The security group Zhang Han had established was really quirky in this regard. They had all considered Mount New Moon their home. Their family members, if they had any, had all settled down in the residential area on the side of Mount New Moon. Thus, they were all grateful toward Zhang Han. Sometimes, one’s personality charm was much more effective in directing others’ behavior than some killing moves.
Even so, only those in a family knew the best about other family members. Zhang Han was also aware that if he were facing the master of the Wind Snow Temple alone, he could do nothing but flee.
He was not sure whether Zi Yan was immune to this kind of strong soul attack. Yet, he wouldn’t dare to let Zi Yan take the blow as an experiment. Because if she got hurt, he would be heartbroken.
“Zhang Hanyang!”
When Nan Qinghai saw Zhang Han dissolve his attack, his pupils contracted. Then, he said with emotion, “You’ve given me an eye-opener. You just warded off my attack with the strength at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage. No one in the entire Kunlun Immortal World has done this before.”
As soon as he finished, everyone on the scene fell into silence. A moment later, exclamations broke out one after another.
“What?”
“Zhang Hanyang is merely at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage?”
“No, this is impossible! How could a man at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage confront Li Qingyan and fend off our master’s attack?”
Even Shi Fenghou was dumbstruck.
“He is only at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage? I’m about to reach the Last-Stage, b-but I still feel more daunted in front of him than I am before our master. He’s really a freak!”
“Even though I am merely at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage, no one in your Kunlun Immortal World can do anything to me,” Zhang Han said calmly.
There was no pride, smugness, or arrogance in his tone. His voice was completely calm and unperturbed, as though he was telling the truth.
“You are the most incredulously talented person I’ve ever seen.”
Nan Qinghai smiled faintly and continued, “In time, when you reach the Middle-Stage or the Last-Stage, you will be able to fight me, won’t you? What will happen when you reach the Peak-Stage? I dare not imagine that. When you reach my realm one day, perhaps the East Domain, oh no, the whole Kunlun Immortal World will have an overlord controlling everyone’s life and death.”
“Hiss!”
In an instant, the two Grand Masters in the Yuan Ying Realm who was hiding far away behind Nan Qinghai gasped in horror.
They had only been too focused on watching the scene, so they had not given it a thought. Now that they heard Nan Qinghai’s words, they started to consider the matter and instantly became terrified.
It was true. If he was given time to enter their realm, he would probably have no match.
“This…”
“What can we…”
The two of them exchanged a look with uncertain expressions on their faces.
They and the other Grand Masters in the Yuan Ying Realm in the East Domain and other three domains wouldn’t allow it to happen, let alone Nan Qinghai.
At this moment, the two quietly changed their minds. If Nan Qinghai was no match for Zhang Han, they would not sit back and do nothing.
Oblivious to the shock of the more than 10,000 disciples around him, Nan Qinghai swiveled his eyes from Zhang Han to Zi Yan.
“Your wife is pretty. She is more beautiful than some of the queens and Saintly Women here. You’re such a lucky man. This little girl is your daughter, isn’t she? She is a young beauty. I feel so sorry that your whole family is here today. Well, for what it’s worth, they can accompany you on the way to hell.”
As he spoke, his right hand stretched upward.
“Clang, clang…”
Rays of sword light suddenly flashed. In an instant, thousands of three-foot-long cyan swords gathered behind Nan Qinghai. The scene made people’s hair stand on end.
His dominating aura seemed to be a testament to what the strongest power in this world was!
“My Myriad Swords Formation has been nurtured for 56 years.”
Nan Qinghai said in an even tone, “It hasn’t tasted blood for 56 years. But a single wisp of killing intent generated from it can kill a man at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage. Today, I’ll kill you with the Myriad Swords Formation, which is enough to show that I value you and your family very much. Hence, you can die in peace.”
“So I should be honored?”
Facing the Myriad Swords Formation, even Zhang Mu felt strained. However, Zhang Han didn’t even turn a hair. Instead, he chuckled with humor and put his arm around Zi Yan’s waist, saying nonchalantly, “Honey, swat him.”
“Okay…”
Zi Yan actually wanted to ask if she should use her full strength, but Nan Qinghai’s Myriad Swords Formation already swept toward them with crushing force. All kinds of lights reflected from those long swords were just blinding.
“Buzz!”
The Sea Moon Fan, which was more than 2,000 feet long, appeared out of nowhere. It stood in front of Zhang Han and the others and plunged forward.
This sudden change caused Nan Qinghai’s countenance to alter drastically.
“What!”
The intensity of this attack had even frightened him.
The space around the huge fan seemed to be constantly cracking open. It bore down upon him like a majestic mountain. Nobody could stop it.
When the Myriad Swords Formation collided with the huge fan, all kinds of muffled clashes and energy fluctuations were produced. It successfully slowed down the fan.
It could be said that the fan now looked cumbersome when it was moving so slow. But Nan Qinghai suddenly found that the space around him was also quivering. It was as if that fan had an infinite suction force, which made it difficult for him to move around speedily.
But Nan Qinghai was a Grand Master in the Yuan Ying Realm after all. In the face of the Sea Moon Fan, he cast various treasures while retreating dozens of meters. At the same time, he also launched more than a dozen strikes.
“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom…”
Powerful energy fluctuations began to sweep out, causing the whole place to shake in fear.
“Sky-devouring Wheel!
“Take the fan down!”
Nan Qinghai had lost his composure. He could no longer maintain a calm tone, so he roared fiercely. A ring immediately appeared in his hand. He hurled it out with all his strength.
“Sizzle!”
The Sea Moon Fan finally appeared to be somewhat damaged. Not only did its color fade but its size was also one-tenth smaller.
Even so, the Sea Moon Fan was still mighty.
“Sky-devouring Wheel!”
“Life-chasing Sword!
“Devil-slaughtering Pestle!
“Battle-ending Broadsword!”
Nan Qinghai took out several sixth-tier treasures in succession. He ungrudgingly consumed the energy in his body as if it could not run out so as to perform various secret skills. Eventually, the color of the Sea Moon Fan became much paler, almost transparent. Only a vague outline of the fan could be seen.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Most of the energy of the fan’s attack had been offset. But when it landed on his defense, it was still overwhelmingly detrimental.
“This…”
Nan Qinghai’s pupils shrank. He never thought that despite all his efforts, he still didn’t ward off this attack.
“Wham!”
He was sent flying hundreds of meters backward by this blow.
Two seconds later, he forced himself to abruptly pause in the air. A stream of blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. Now, the way he looked at Zi Yan was completely different.
“It turns out that she is the real trump card of this group of people!”
“You’re strong!”
Nan Qinghai raised his right hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a fierce voice, “You are the first person who managed to harm me in the past 50 years. Your attack can be deemed invincible. I had to make 18 moves and use five sixth-tier treasures to fend it off. It’s really something. Hahaha, this makes me want to kill you even more. I can’t let you continue to breathe. Now, I’m only mildly injured. But what about you? How many times can you launch that kind of attack without taking a break? I bet you can only do it once or twice.”
The more than 10,000 disciples around were scared to death when they saw that the master of the Wind Snow Temple was injured. But after hearing his words, they were convinced that their master would still win!
However, at the back of the crowd, Shi Fenghou, who was floating in the air, looked skeptical.
“If she could only make this strike once or twice, would Zhang Hanyang dare to take her here?”
With his understanding of Zhang Han, he was afraid that that was not the case.
“Hiss, this spot is not safe enough. I gotta back away another 1.5 miles.”
Shi Fenghou retreated at full speed again. A small number of people noticed that he had retreated again and again, as though he knew there would be a fierce confrontation.
“Soul-suppressing Bell!”
Nan Qinghai shook the bell again.
But at this time, Zhang Han curled his lips and said coolly, “Keep swatting him.”
“Oh, sure.”
Zi Yan nodded obediently and raised her hands again.
Weng!
The Sea Moon Fan more than 2,000 feet long once again came into being. Without further ado, it struck out horizontally.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”
After about 20 seconds, Nan Qinghai withstood that attack again. His injury was a little worse, so he had to take some medicinal pellets to recover.
Grinning wickedly, he yelled, “Not strong enough! Come again! I wanna see how many attacks you can launch in a row!”
Sea Moon Fan!
Sea Moon Fan!
Sea Moon Fan!
Zi Yan launched 10 attacks in one breath.
Nan Qinghai was rendered dumbfounded.
He looked at a loss, and his injury was getting steadily worse. Seeing this, everyone on the scene was left open-mouthed.
“Pfft…”
Nan Qinghai spat out a mouthful of blood. Scandalized, he gritted his teeth and bawled, “Go on!”
Sea Moon Fan!
Sea Moon Fan!
Another 10 strikes were launched.
Nan Qinghai remained stupefied for a while. Then, he spat out two more mouthfuls of blood and shook his dizzy head.
“I’ve lost?
“No.
“It seems that I haven’t even attacked yet.
“No, it’s just that my attacks never hit my opponent.
“What exactly were the things she hurled at me?”
“Hahaha, hahaha…”
Nan Qinghai suddenly laughed wildly as if he had gone crazy. “You can’t kill me! Come on. Keep it coming. Don’t stop!”
Unexpectedly, he had changed the keynote of his speech.
Moments ago, he was telling the other party that they could die in peace. But now, he directly switched it to “you can’t kill me”.
It should be noted that they had only fought for a few minutes!
The two Grand Masters at the rear watched this with their hearts in their throats.
“F*ck! Since when is there one more cultivator this powerful?”
“Ma’am is invincible!”
Mu Xue’s blood was surging. She was even reluctant to blink her eyes while watching the battle. The many attacks were thrown out at an incredible speed. Zi Yan had struck without any hesitation. She was as awe-inspiring as a queen. Therefore, Mu Xue could not help whooping.
Zi Yan’s expression changed slightly when she heard Mu Xue.
“Tut, tut.
“That’s actually pleasant to hear.”
Therefore, her hand waved a little faster and launched the Sea Moon Fan over and over again as if her energy would never be exhausted.
“Wow, Mummy is really powerful!”
Mengmeng was also amazed.
On the way here, Zhang Han repeatedly said that even the Grand Masters in the Yuan Ying Realm were no match for Zi Yan.
The current situation proved that… they were even weaker than Zhang Han had imagined.
Nan Qinghai’s pupils shrank drastically.
If the fight continued like this, sooner or later, he would get killed!
Shocked and infuriated, he turned his head and shouted, “You two sons of b*tches, how much longer do you two wanna watch?”
“Oow-hoo?”
Little Hei’s eyes became fiercer. It was as if it was saying, “You’re a son of a b*tch!”
However, its strength couldn’t rival Nan Qinghai’s. Otherwise, it would really go over and bite him.
“Nan Qinghai, I never thought you would also be in such a miserable state one day.”
Finally, the two Grand Masters at the back couldn’t sit still anymore. They leaped forward and quickly approached the battlefield.
“If it were you, you wouldn’t be in better shape than me.”
Nan Qinghai was kind of obsessed with his looks. When he realized that his clothes were all torn, he took out a cloak and draped it over his shoulder. After that, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes turning stern.
For many years, this was the first time he had suffered such a big loss.
Zi Yan stopped attacking for a moment to glance at Zhang Han.
The look in her eyes was implying, “Now that two more people had joined the other party, should she continue to strike or pause for a moment?”
Zhang Han raised his eyebrows slightly and waited for a moment before he gave his answer.
At this time, the more than 10,000 people were flabbergasted.
“Grand Master An and Grand Master Zong are here, too!”
“The three Grand Masters are all here. Are our master going to turn the tables?”
“Phew, I was almost scared to death just now. I thought our master wouldn’t survive this. Thank god there are two more Grand Masters at the back. Now that the three of the eight Grand Masters in the East Domain have gathered together, no one in the world can defeat them!”
The crowd burst into an uproar. Shi Fenghou, however, looked at Zhang Han and carefully studied his expression. Two seconds later…
“Clatter!”
Shi Fenghou’s heart skipped a beat.
“Seems that he will attack again!”
Sure enough.
“Just continue!” Zhang Han suddenly instructed.
Holding Zi Yan’s waist, he kept advancing with Mengmeng and several people beside him.
It felt like that he was holding a mobile gun deck. Zi Yan was only in charge of firing, while Zhang Han was doing the aiming job.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”
Sea Moon Fans whizzed over one after another.
The two other Grand Masters finally put themselves in Nan Qinghai’s shoes.
The space had been sealed. What a heaven-defying technique it was!
“I was wondering why Nan Qinghai didn’t try dodging the attack. It turned out that he couldn’t move!”
The three of them exercised all kinds of offensive skills and defensive methods to offset the attacks. This time, the Sea Moon Fans did not hit them. Still, they were thrown hundreds of meters backward by the wild energy waves.
After that, Zhang Han continued to fly 100 meters ahead, and Zi Yan continued to conjure more Sea Moon Fans.
“Buzz…”
Nan Qinghai and the others kept retreating, while Zhang Han kept pressing forward.
Zi Yan alone had suppressed the three Grand Masters from the Kunlun Immortal World.
Those watching the fight in the distance couldn’t think straight now. “Even the three of them teaming up can’t defeat her?”
Half an hour later.
“What’s going on? It’s still not over yet?”
Grand Master An’s face darkened a little bit. If the opponents continued to attack like this, the three of them would have no hope to win either!
“The key point is, we three Grand Masters in the Yuan Ying Realm have already joined hands. But she can still crush us?
“She is too formidable, isn’t she?”
“Who the heck are you?”
Grand Master Zong asked sternly, “Are you Black White Palace Master?”
“Me?”
Zi Yan knitted her brows and snorted, “I’m Zhang Hanyang’s wife.”
This answer caught them off guard.
“Who asked you about that?”
“This is impossible!”
The three people dissolved the Sea Moon Fan again. Yet, looking at the new Sea Moon Fan that was quickly taking shape, even the three Grand Masters were a little unnerved.
With a particularly sullen look, Nan Qinghai said, “Even Black White Palace Master can’t suppress the three of us by herself! We are cultivators in the Yuan Ying Realm. We represent the top combatants of the world. How come you could subdue us?”
If this remark was made by any other person, many of the more than 10,000 disciples of the Wind Snow Temple on the scene might call him an idiot.
“You’re asking how come we can subdue you?
“Why can’t we be stronger than you? Don’t you know how weak you are?”
However, that question was posed by a Grand Master. Thus, everyone present felt that it was a fair question.
“Grand Masters are in the Yuan Ying Realm. They are the most powerful people in the world. But why could Zi Yan be more powerful than them?”
“Haha.”
Hearing their question, Zhang Han couldn’t help laughing scornfully.
Then, he explained, “You guys are just in the Fake Yuan Ying Realm. You are stuck at the border of the real Yuan Ying Realm. Maybe you can become real Yuan Ying cultivators in seconds in the Cultivation World. But here, you can’t escape from the restriction of the rules of the world.”
“The Cultivation World? Who, who are you on earth?”
Nan Qinghai was alarmed. He began to stare at Zhang Han in disbelief.
“Could it be that he knows about the real Cultivation World? But that is a top secret! Even us Grand Masters only know a little about it.”
“Me?” Zhang Han chuckled, holding Zi Yan’s slender waist more tightly with his right arm. In a calm voice, he said, “I am her husband.”
The answer stunned everyone, especially Zhang Mu and the others, whose lips could not stop trembling.
“In the face of such formidable enemies, how dare you two continue to display your affection for each other? You’re really… unscrupulous.”
“They are my parents. You three old guys, why don’t you surrender?”
Mengmeng was a little confused about the whole thing. She didn’t know what to say. However, as her parents had both made a remark, she felt she was obliged to say something and prove that she was there, too. Although her voice was very low, her mutter could at least prove her existence.
“Hahaha, they are my master and his wife. You three old guys, if you can’t beat him, don’t try to buy time by talking. How dare you call yourselves Grand Masters? You’ve been beaten to a pulp. I think you’d better go home and make a living by raising pigs,” Mu Xue taunted in a clear voice.
“Ahem, I… Ouch…”
Zhang Guangyou coughed slightly. He had also become a little hot-blooded after watching the fight. But when he was about to say something aggressively, Zhang Mu whacked him in the back of his head and shot him a hard look.
“You’re a senior on the scene who hasn’t even reached the Elixir Realm yet. Just shut up!”
“Hahaha.”
Grand Master Zong suddenly laughed boisterously and said, “Maybe you’ve consumed a certain miracle-working treasure to possess such power. But don’t get too excited. Although you’ve won in the face-to-face battle, if we intend to leave, who can make us stay?”
“Let’s go!”
Feeling extremely aggrieved, Nan Qinghai almost foamed at the mouth. The three of them had been dominating the world for many years. When had they ever been forced into a flee?
But there was nothing they could do about it. They were clearly no match for the other party, so how could they continue to fight?
“Do you wanna escape?”
Zhang Han’s face was aloof. Beams of dark light suddenly darted out from his eyes.
“The Star Map and the Thunder Sea coupled with the Air-shattering Hand!”
The supernatural power he had gained from condensing the Immortal Body allowed him to integrate the Heavenly Demon’s Five Styles into the Star Map and Thunder Sea, which would create different effects.
The Air-shattering Hand could enhance space-sealing power for the Star Map and the Thunder Sea. The most impressive part was that it could make the area of the Star Map and the Thunder Sea grow much bigger.
Although Nan Qinghai and the other two could undo it, this move could still hold them back for one or two seconds. And that would give Zi Yan enough time to react.
“Sea Moon Fan!”
Zi Yan concentrated again and attacked with all her strength.
The huge fan fell from above the Star Map and the Thunder Sea.
“Crack!”
This sort of haphazard attack directly shattered the outskirts of the Star Map and the Thunder Sea.
Seeing this, Zhang Han quickly dispersed his supernatural power. When Nan Qinghai and the other two were casting more than a dozen moves to dissolve this Sea Moon Fan—
“The Star Map and the Thunder Sea coupled with the Air-shattering Hand!”
“Sea Moon Fan!”
When the husband and wife were of the same mind, they had the power to cut through the strongest metal.
Under the joint attack of the two, Nan Qinghai and the others could not escape even though they had tried their best. They had to consume a lot of energy and treasures to resist the blows. For a while, they were in an indescribably miserable situation. All they could do was to ride the energy waves that would only last a couple of seconds to retreat hundreds of meters each time.
But the moment they retreated, Zhang Han and Zi Yan advanced again. Just like that, a war of attrition began.
