Chapter 3791: Escape
Chapter 3791: Escape
Ling Han charged over, and the lightning exploded at the same time. Meanwhile, the Demonic Monkey Fists wrapped in Destructive Energy also arrived.
“Haha, your courage is truly commendable!” The man in green sneered. His cultivation level was at the Heaven Cauldron. No matter how freakish you are, how could a mere Foundation Building cultivator resist?
He put away the cloth, and swept out with his staff.
Ling Han activated his ocular technique, and with a step, he actually broke through the multiple staff strikes of the green-robed man.
What!
The man in green was shocked. His sweep was not done casually, but was rather a staff technique. Even though it was only a sweep of the staff, it was covered densely with energy, as if a large net had been spread out.
In this kind of situation, the other party actually managed to seize that slight opening and rush out. This insight was really too brilliant, wasn’t it?
However, there was no time for him to feel rueful at this moment. He hurriedly abandoned his staff and clenched his hands into fists, greeting Ling Han’s attack.
As the saying went, it was out of reach. At this time, the staff was too long to hit him. If someone came close enough, the staff would not be able to turn around to strike him.
Boom!
Their fists clashed together, and a terrifying power collided. Ling Han was undoubtedly sent flying, and he crashed heavily into the wall, directly creating a large hole. He continued to fly backwards.
Only after crashing through seven walls did Ling Han finally fall to the ground. He felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered, and he couldn’t move a single finger.
However, there was no time for him to rest now. He hurriedly forcibly got to his feet, drew out the Void Beast hide, and draped it over his body. He concealed himself, and left quietly.
Xiu, the man in green had already rushed over. He stared at where Ling Han had fallen, but there was no longer any trace of Ling Han.
Not good, he had escaped!
He was filled with hatred, and also wanted to vent his anger through random attacks, but shockingly discovered that there was actually a power corroding his fist.
What was this thing?
He was shocked. Though this energy was weak, it was incredibly tenacious. He had already used his mystical power to expel it, yet it was actually not completely expelled, and was still wreaking havoc on him.
Though the damage was not very great, it was like gangrene attached to one’s bones. It was extremely annoying.
Just how many secret techniques had this brat grasped?
The green-robed man’s eyes were filled with greed. The Spirit Tool that the other had summoned and the fist technique that he used contained a mysterious high-level energy. If he could obtain all of it… just how strong would he be?
“I will definitely find you!”
He sent out a signal to gather Nangong Qian and the others.
“Where is he?” The moment the woman in green arrived, she immediately questioned.
“He managed to flee from me,” the man in green said. “However, I also wounded him.” “Since he has been wounded by you, he still actually managed to slip away?” the man in black asked, his expression filled with suspicion.
When his words fell, Nangong Qian and the others all turned their eyes towards him.
The man in green couldn’t help but feel his expression darken, “You guys don’t believe me?” “Hehe.” The man in black sneered. He very much suspected that the other had taken the treasure for himself, and then lied about how Ling Han had snuck away.
The man in green took out the Heavenly Pattern Jade, and said, “That Foundation Building brat used this Spiritual Power Spirit Tool to attack me. I had no choice but to dodge, and that was how he managed to escape. You guys also know that the brat has a way to hide his tracks.”
That was true.
The other four people were skeptical. This sounded reasonable, but only this man in green knew the truth.
“Junior Sister Nangong, I’ll have to trouble you to guard the entrance. You know formation techniques, so you won’t let that brat slip away.” The green-robed man began to assign missions. “The four of us will split into groups of two, and continue to search for that brat.”
This distribution was quite reasonable, so the four of them nodded one after another, and for the moment, believed him.
They split up again, determined to find Ling Han.
…
The rooms here stretched on and on. Ling Han casually entered into one of them, closed the doors, and found a corner to sit down in. He hurriedly took out alchemical pills which he
ingested.
In the final attack, he clashed with the man in green, breaking several of his bones from the impact. His internal organs were also severely damaged, and his injuries were considerably serious. He needed to immediately heal his injuries.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, “Right now, I can only barely rival the Human Cauldron. A strike from Heaven Cauldron was able to severely wound me.” This was something that couldn’t be helped. The gulf between him and Heaven Cauldron was far too great, so he was already extremely fortunate to be able to escape.
“The Heavenly Pattern Jade has fallen into his hands. I definitely have to get it back,” Ling
Han murmured.
The problem was, how was he supposed to obtain it?
“Unless… I break through to the Cauldron Forging Tier!”
Ling Han retrieved the alchemical pills that he had obtained from the alchemy chamber. After opening the bottles one by one, he carefully examined them.
Many alchemical pills were already disshapen, turning into a paste that stuck to the bottom of the bottle. Naturally, a lot of the medicinal effects were also lost.
“This bottle of pills should help one break through to the next cultivation level. The original medicinal effects should be enough to help a True Self Tier cultivator break through to the next cultivation level. Now, it should only be able to help a Foundation Building cultivator break through to the Cauldron Forging Tier.”
“This bottle is for increasing cultivation level. It has lost lost too much medicinal effects, so it should be just right for my current cultivation level.”
“Humph, I’ll break through to the Cauldron Forging Tier here, and then seek out those five people for an accounting!”
Ling Han was not the type to be willing to suffer losses. Being repeatedly hunted down by Nangong Qian and the others, how could he not be angered?
He dug out some medicinal paste from the pill bottle and swallowed it. This was medicine that could increase one’s cultivation level.
In a short while, he felt a heat in his stomach, as if it was about to burn.
Boom, vigorous energy surged within his body, as if it could topple mountains and overturn
seas.
“F***, I miscalculated. Though the medicinal effects have weakened, it has still surpassed
my current cultivation level.”
“I’ve already eaten, so I can only take it head-on!”
Ling Han gritted his teeth. The energy in his body was too terrifying, as if it was about to
burst him. In fact, he even felt his body expand.
This was naturally an illusion, but it also showed how astonishing the energy in his body was, that he could not control it at all.
Ling Han could only channel the Ancient Sun Divine Scroll, desperately converting this energy into mystical power to strengthen his Celestial Foundations.
Pa, pa, pa! Energy rampaged madly. His bones and internal organs had already been severely injured in the first place, and he had just barely managed to reconnect his bones and close up his injuries. However, with such an impact, they were instantly broken open again.
It was so bitter!
Ling Han forcefully endured the agonizing pain, and did his best to absorb the energy in his body. Only by enduring the medicinal effects would he be able to heal his injuries again.
Half a day later, the medicinal effects finally stabilized.
Ling Han panted heavily, cold sweat rolling down his forehead, mixed with blood.
He had really lost half his life. Now, his whole person was like mud. There was practically not
a single complete bone or muscle left in his whole body. However, his cultivation level had also increased greatly, so he had not suffered for nothing.
“The price for rapidly increasing one’s cultivation level in this manner is one’s own life!” Ling Han mused ruefully. Though the medicinal effects were dense, and contained a great amount of energy in itself, it was a destructive method to allow his cultivation level to advance so rapidly. It was definitely expending his future lifespan.
Ling Han didn’t regret it. What was the point of living a few more years, but living a coward’s
life?
As a man, he should be quick to repay debts of gratitude and revenge, and laugh proudly.
“I can’t stay here any longer,” Ling Han murmured. He had already stayed here for so long, so the five of them would definitely find him eventually. He needed to change locations.
