The person ran away?
The cultivator who came to deliver the message could only nod in agreement again.
This scene occurred in many aristocratic families, especially those who were lamenting Hanyu's impending demise just moments ago, only to hear that he had broken through and escaped in the next.
Twelve elders couldn't stop him?
Those were nine Half-step Divine Peeking cultivators and three Peeping God Realm cultivators! Not twelve pigs!
Some family heads wouldn't dare claim they could have escaped, yet he did, and even escaped the city under the pursuit of twelve people.
The Bai Family!
Bai Chong'an also couldn't believe it. The person in front of him was the second Bai Family member to report the news, and he was more convincing because he had found Linglan at the scene and brought her back.
Linglan still looked terrified. Upon seeing Bai Junya, she quickly rushed over and hugged her.
If it weren't for Hanyu just now, the collapsing roof that covered the sky would have crushed her small body.
She was also the only one who witnessed the scene, and from her perspective, one could get the most direct understanding of the situation at that time.
"Killed a Half-step Divine Peeking cultivator with a few punches!"
Everyone collectively gasped. Others might not understand, but the Bai Family knew the difficulty of dealing with Qin Family elders from the inside out.
The Qin Family had an Azure Wave Art, a method to continuously stack True Essence bursts. If a Half-step Divine Peeking cultivator could continuously stack it, they could even unleash attacks comparable to the Peeping God Realm.
Even so, he was killed with a few punches?
Especially in a chase within the city, and he still managed to escape the city. After today, the Qin Family's reputation would likely suffer greatly.
"Why did you run over there for no reason?"
Bai Junya patted Linglan's cold hand. Even though she was already a Divine Bridge cultivator, being so close to death, she was still just a childish young girl who couldn't bear it.
Linglan glanced at the Bai Family elder beside her and said softly, "I went to find Hanyu to save you."
Although her voice was soft, everyone present was a cultivator, so every cultivator heard Linglan's words clearly.
"You know that person?"
Bai Chong'an looked at Bai Junya in surprise.
Bai Jingliang said to Bai Junya with a complex expression, "Could it be that he got into trouble with the Qin Family because of you?"
His original intention was that because of his accidental encounter with Bai Junya that day, Qin Hao had become hostile towards him. Thus, Bai Jingliang's expression was a little uneasy when he said this, as Hanyu had suffered an unwarranted disaster.
However, the Bai Family elders who didn't know the truth heard it differently. In their minds, they imagined a man full of murderous aura, directly killing a Qin Family elder for Bai Junya, provoking the entire Qin Family.
Suddenly, the way the elders looked at Bai Junya changed...
"You're talking nonsense! If I don't clear this area, that brat will come and burn us down."
The Peeping God Realm elder who had used the hurricane roared in anger upon hearing this.
The two were about to argue fiercely when Qin Lao Er suddenly shouted coldly, "What are you two acting like? Don't you see where we are? Can't you even tell the time and place for arguing?"
That Qin Lao Er seemed to have quite some deterrence. With just one sentence, he immediately silenced the two Peeping God Realm powerhouses.
Qin Lao Er looked resentfully at the surrounding sea of fire. That damned brat was hiding in the fire, relying on his innate divine ability to control fire and not even showing his head.
What troubled him even more was that among the Qin Family's twelve elders, one was a fire-attribute Peeping God Realm cultivator, another was a wind-attribute cultivator who practiced the Wind God Art derived from a wood-attribute Spiritual Root, and the last was a lightning-attribute cultivator who practiced the Azure Thunder Art derived from a metal-attribute Spiritual Root.
The remaining nine Half-step Divine Peeking elders were only in the gold, wood, and fire attributes among the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and they only practiced techniques that suited their own attributes.
There wasn't a single water-attribute cultivator among them!
This allowed Hanyu to seize an opportunity. A large fire, and no one could restrain him. He was like a fish in water, finally getting a moment of respite.
"They don't seem to have a water attribute. Wind, lightning, and fire will only make the fire zone here more turbulent. You should rest for a while and look for an opportunity to slip away," Hanyu's figure was hidden in the great fire, cautiously moving around on the side, keeping a close eye on the people within the circle. Little Glazed suggested in his mind.
Hanyu remained silent, staring intently at the nine people outside the Peeping God Realm, his mind racing.
Over there, Qin Lao Er frowned in thought and looked up at the fire zone. The flames had already climbed three to four zhang high along the trees.
"Let's fly up first and search from above."
He thought that if they flew to a high altitude and looked down, it might be easier to find him. The elders nodded in agreement.
Twelve figures soared into the sky. Just as they rose seven feet off the ground, twelve fire dragons suddenly shot up from different directions, flying towards each of them.
"What are you doing?"
Little Glazed exclaimed in his mind.
"I saw nine isolated cultivators."
Hanyu leaped up, replying simply.
The Qin Family had sent people to kill him twice. Even a clay figurine would have some temper, let alone him.
In their haste, the elders drew their swords. Especially Qin Lao Er and the other two Peeping God Realm cultivators, fearing that they would fuel the fire, only struck with their purest True Essence.
The fire dragons were split apart one by one. However, the sword strike from the last Half-step Divine Peeking elder did not move the fire dragon at all. In his desperation, he quickly drew his sword again.
Just then, the head of the fire dragon suddenly exploded, and a figure emerged from the flames. With extreme speed, he slammed into the elder, knocking him down.
The two crashed to the ground one after another. Hanyu, who got up first, rushed forward and fiercely slammed the elder into the sea of fire.
"Eighth Elder!"
Someone shouted loudly.
Fighting sounds continuously came from the fire zone below, their positions shifting. While it was called fighting, it was actually Hanyu alone suppressing his opponent.
Flames surrounded them. The Qin Family's Eighth Elder's clothes were all burning, while Hanyu relied on a layer of his own flame divine ability to cover himself, isolating all external fire sources as he relentlessly attacked his opponent.
After punching the Qin Family's Eighth Elder away, he instantly lunged forward with an elbow strike, then followed up with a heavy kick. At this moment, the person in his hands was charred black all over, with all his joints twisted.
Another fire dragon soared into the sky, charging towards the many elders.
"You audacious thief, you dare again!"
Several elders joined forces to unleash a massive True Essence sword blade strike, instantly shattering the fire dragon.
As the flames dispersed, two severed halves of a body were revealed.
"It's Eighth Elder!!"
It turned out Hanyu had thrown the half-dead Qin Family's Eighth Elder out of the sea of fire and sent him up with a fire dragon.
Having personally killed his own clansman, the few who had acted were so enraged their eyes bulged, nearing madness.
"I will make him die!"
After finishing all this, Hanyu once again burrowed into the deep fire zone.
Little Glazed nagged in his mind, "You've really gotten carried away. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by someone in the Peeping God Realm when you jump up?"
Hanyu shook his head and simply asked, "How is my sea of consciousness recovering?"
"It's recovered halfway. This is a natural fire field, so you don't need to use your origin to create fire, which would take too much of your power. You only need to communicate with your origin to guide these flames."
"You want to do it again?"
The little artifact spirit said incredulously.
"Eight more times!"
Hanyu blinked and sneered.
Even if he had to escape, he would first crush these remaining eight "soft persimmons."
Little Glazed fell silent. Fine! Half-step Divine Peeking are now soft persimmons!
Moreover, it had to admit that Hanyu was smarter than it had imagined.
It had only asked him to start a fire here, intending to escape using the fire zone. Instead, he had applied the same logic and wanted to use the fire zone to kill a few of them.
Hanyu crouched down, found a good position, and once again summoned eleven fire dragons.
"Trying the same trick again?"
Second Elder Qin's old face was filled with murderous intent. He waved his hand, summoning all their Flying Swords. After expending True Essence to set up a sword formation, the moment the fire dragons entered the formation's range, huge fluctuations were triggered. The twelve Flying Swords danced continuously, and myriad sword energies crisscrossed the space, quickly slaughtering the fire dragons.
"You think a trick works twice!"
Second Elder Qin gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour Hanyu alive at this moment.
"Where's Fifth Elder?"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in alarm. They all turned back in shock, but they truly couldn't find the Qin Family's Fifth Elder.
"Who said I have to hide inside the fire dragon!"
Hanyu sneered and punched towards the Qin Family's Fifth Elder from within the fire zone.
Just moments ago, while everyone was focused on the fire dragons, Hanyu had circled around, jumped up, grabbed Fifth Elder's leg, and flung him down into his territory.
It was that simple, that brazen!
Quite a few people couldn't help but start gathering True Essence, intending to bombard the fire zone below.
"Fifth Elder is still down there. If you blast down, are you planning to kill Fifth Elder along with him?"
Second Elder Qin coldly shouted.
Below, the Qin Family's Fifth Elder endured the burning pain and continuously stacked his own True Essence.
"Azure Wave Art!"
An incredibly surging wave instantly blasted out, even clearing a patch of the fire zone beneath his feet for a short time. Those above clearly saw Hanyu grit his teeth and charge forward, using his own body to forcefully endure it.
In an instant, blood splattered, and fine cracks covered his upper body as the immense True Essence tore at his flesh.
"Die!"
Hanyu endured the pain and fiercely charged forward, punching the Fifth Elder in the chest.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out. Fifth Elder's face turned ashen. Then, Hanyu waved his hand, pulled the flames back, covered his feet once more, and instantly retreated.
"Fifth Elder!"
Someone watched the Qin Family's Fifth Elder struggle powerlessly in the re-covered fire zone. They wanted to go down but were immediately stopped by those beside them.
"It's useless. Fifth Elder is beyond saving."
Not long after, Hanyu deliberately threw a charred corpse onto the open ground cleared by the Peeping God Realm elder.
The Qin Family's fifth son, fallen!
Twelve elders, two dead!
"Everyone, use the combined attack technique to blast open this fiery area! Give it your all!"
With two clan elders dead, it wasn't just about losing face anymore; the Qin Family's interests had been severely impacted. Half-step Divine Peeking cultivators were the Qin Family's primary fighting force!
Already anticipating Qin Tiannan's furious rage, the Qin Family's second elder gritted his teeth, no longer daring to let the opponent wear them down.
A sword formation constructed from twelve Flying Swords tightly protected the few individuals. The remaining seven elders continuously channeled their True Essence into the bodies of three elders.
A powerful and terrifying pressure emerged, so potent that just its aura alone forced the flames below to recede.
The seven elders held on desperately. After a moment, the True Essence, now condensed into a tangible form, was instantly released. It surged downward like a tsunami, relentlessly impacting the area with continuous roars.
In that moment, it was like a natural disaster. The land cracked, and a massive, ten-meter-deep pit was blasted into the earth.
Let alone the fiery area, at this point, within a hundred-meter radius, everything except the deep pit was crushed into powder...
