Twelve Elders

Chapter 45: Twelve Elders

"Third Brother!"

Someone in mid-air roared with eyes about to burst, and then twelve figures descended from the sky simultaneously.

Swish swish swish!

Twelve Flying Swords plunged into the ground in unison, surrounding Hanyu.

One figure stepped forward, with white hair and beard and many wrinkles on his face. It was the Qin Family's Second Elder, the biological brother of the Third Elder Qin. He ran over with a pale face, hugged the Third Elder Qin, and cried hoarsely, "Third Brother!"

The remaining eleven people stared at Hanyu with murderous intent.

"Nine Half-step Divine Peeking Realm, three Divine Peeking Realm!"

Little Glazed said quickly in his mind.

Run!

Hanyu didn't hesitate. He stomped down with one foot, leaped high into the air, rising a full ten feet and shooting out over thirty feet. After landing, he didn't dare to stop, and took off running.

Nine Half-step Divine Peeking Realm, three Divine Peeking Realm. So it wasn't the young ones who came, but the whole nest of old ones.

Perhaps all the elders of the Qin Family had come!

If he didn't run now, he might lose his life later!

Second Elder Qin's hysterical roar came from behind, "I'll mince him into meat paste."

Twelve Flying Swords lifted off the ground and chased after Hanyu's back, while another twelve figures quickly took to the sky, pursuing from above.

Hanyu used the surrounding terrain to constantly weave left and right, trying to shake off the Flying Swords, but the twelve in the sky were more agile than him.

Three different attributes—wind, fire, and lightning—streaked towards his back. Hanyu was instantly terrified to the point of losing his mind.

"Three Supernatural Power users?"

"No, they've cultivated techniques that match their own attributes and converted their True Essence." Little Glazed's voice urgently supplemented in his mind.

"This ability, which isn't as flexible as Supernatural Powers, be careful and dodge, jump!"

Hanyu quickly grabbed the ground and leaped. Three attributes narrowly missed him, exploding a deep pit behind him. At this moment, the twelve Flying Swords had already caught up to him.

"This place won't do. You can only rely on the terrain to shake off the Flying Swords, but you can't dodge the twelve people above."

Little Glazed shouted in his mind, "Run towards the outskirts of the city. There are more dense forests there, and they won't be able to fly up."

Hearing this, Hanyu quickly changed direction at the next street corner. The figures and Flying Swords behind him pursued relentlessly.

"Be careful, the lightning-attribute user is blocking your path ahead, and the wind and lightning users are preparing to attack from both sides."

Little Glazed's voice rapidly reminded him in his mind.

Hanyu heard this and quickly held his breath, leaping forward. After two bounces, a huge explosion sounded behind him again, followed by a blast wave spreading in all directions.

Where Hanyu had run, houses collapsed one after another, as fragile as bubbles.

In the eyes of the twelve people, Hanyu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, always making the most accurate reactions at the most critical moments.

"This brat is so capable!"

The killing intent in everyone's hearts grew stronger. This brat must not be kept alive!

The city gate was already close at hand. Hanyu sprinted all the way, his speed already carrying the force of wind and thunder, faintly making a sound of breaking through the air.

A few city guards who had been bored were yawning repeatedly. Suddenly, they saw someone running madly towards them, with deep pits constantly exploding behind him. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

When they saw the twelve Qin Family elders behind him, they immediately panicked and dodged to the side.

Hanyu rushed out of the city gate. Little Glazed still urged him, "There's no terrain advantage here now. The Flying Swords will catch up to you quickly. You need to be faster, run faster."

Already feeling the wind beneath his feet, Hanyu gritted his teeth and erupted again upon hearing this, his speed instantly increasing by a few points. He was like a swift arrow shot from a bow.

"Damn it, is there no way to kill these bastards?"

Hanyu felt extremely aggrieved by being chased and said hatefully.

"There is. When the energy in your sea of consciousness is enough for you to use Supernatural Powers, you won't even need to mention the Hungry Ghost Path. You can roast them to death with a sky full of Fire Lotuses." Little Glazed's teasing voice sounded.

Hanyu, who had just felt a glimmer of hope upon hearing the beginning, immediately rolled his eyes. It was as good as saying nothing.

He couldn't even cultivate, let alone expand the energy in his sea of consciousness.

The little Artifact Spirit then said indignantly, "What makes you think you could kill a Half-step Divine Peeking Realm with a few punches? The energy I and the bottle have been feeding back has all been used to continuously strengthen your physical body during this time."

This was something Hanyu hadn't considered. If the little Artifact Spirit hadn't mentioned it, he would have always thought they were just too weak.

"From now on, the bottle and I will start strengthening your sea of consciousness. If we weren't afraid of you dying too quickly, why would we need to constantly strengthen your physical body?" the little Artifact Spirit chattered incessantly.

"Watch out for the Flying Swords!"

This place was unlike the city; it was too open. It was the most advantageous environment for Flying Swords. The twelve Flying Swords quickly caught up behind him. After the little Artifact Spirit's reminder, Hanyu immediately became vigilant.

The first one aimed directly at the back of Hanyu's head. Having been prepared, he quickly dodged and grabbed it with his backhand. With a grip, he firmly grasped the sword blade.

Hanyu tried to break it, but found that the hardness of the Flying Sword was terrifyingly strong. He could only resentfully throw it towards someone in the air.

The other eleven Flying Swords continued to stab at him. Hanyu was furious. While running, he grabbed the first few Flying Swords that came at him.

With a few whooshing sounds of air being torn, the elders chasing Hanyu stared dumbfoundedly as the Flying Swords turned and flew towards them. They quickly dodged and weaved.

"What kind of freak is this, catching Flying Swords with his bare hands!"

Hanyu's display of catching a Flying Sword with his bare hands had indeed stunned everyone. Even the three Peeping God Realm powerhouses, who prided themselves on having seen it all, had to acknowledge him.

They were astonished by Hanyu.

Below, Hanyu was equally troubled by them chasing him in the sky.

"Can I do what Black Robe did and spread Supernatural Powers across the sky?"

Hanyu had a sudden thought.

The little Artifact Spirit was annoyed. "He combined it with True Essence to send his Supernatural Powers up there. Do you have True Essence?"

Hanyu retreated, continuing his escape.

He could already see a dense forest ahead, with countless straight trees packed closely together. Hanyu charged forward and plunged straight in.

Once inside, flying became restricted. Even the Flying Swords were obscured by the dense trees.

The twelve elders had no choice but to land and leap after him, recalling their Flying Swords.

"Set it on fire!"

Little Glazed suddenly spoke.

Huh?

Hanyu thought he misheard. The little Artifact Spirit repeated herself.

"Do you think I'm tired of living?"

Little Glazed was furious. "Your physical body is strong, and you have Fire Element Supernatural Powers. If you turn this place into a sea of fire, it will be your domain. Only then will you have a chance to save yourself."

Hearing this, Hanyu grabbed a fireball in each hand and threw them in all directions as he ran.

The twelve people behind him continued their pursuit, gradually noticing something was wrong.

"It's catching fire."

An elder exclaimed in surprise.

The fire spread quickly. No, it was more like the flames from Hanyu's Supernatural Powers had an extremely strong spreading effect.

Soon, all four sides around the twelve pursuers were engulfed in flames. The surging tree trunks crackled and popped, and before long, the entire forest was filled with this sound.

"This is bad, he wants to use fire to boost the power of his Supernatural Powers!"

A Peeping God Realm powerhouse quickly grasped Hanyu's intention. Another Peeping God Realm powerhouse, with a cold laugh, attacked first.

"Then I'll destroy this forest. Let's see how he boosts his fire."

With a long sword in hand, True Essence surged into the sky, and a Hurricane was unleashed from the sword.

"Don't..."

The first elder to speak turned pale and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

The Hurricane tore through the area, uprooting trees and instantly clearing a large open space.

However, it also fanned the flames on the periphery to their extreme in an instant...

"Idiot, what's the point of clearing the center? We're surrounded now. How are you going to clear the outside?"

That elder couldn't help but curse.
