He pushed the Five Elements Heaven Escape Technique to its limit, his body shimmering with pale golden light and intertwined with the light of the five-colored Principle. He became a blur, so fast that everyone present experienced a brief delay in their senses, as if time had stopped at that moment.
This is also the power of the Spacetime Dao Principle, which is more terrifying than the Space Dao Principles alone.
Han Xuanji's target was not Wan Kun, who was already injured and hiding in the distance, but the swordsman standing at the back of the group who had just unleashed a barrage of swords with all his might.
The swordsman reacted incredibly quickly, realizing he had become prey the instant Han Xuanji's aura suddenly approached.
His pupils shrank sharply, and he frantically activated his protective true essence. The Sword Qi around his body transformed into hundreds of fine Sword Gang that enveloped him layer by layer. At the same time, a flash of sword light appeared beneath his feet, and his figure retreated rapidly backward.
His speed was indeed very fast, Movement Method were superb, enough to rank him among the top geniuses of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. But unfortunately, he encountered Han Xuanji.
As a well-rounded warrior, Han Xuanji possesses an extremely high level of proficiency in every Cultivation Method.
In the blink of an eye, Han Xuanji had already closed in on his opponent. Looking at it this way, the sword cultivator's retreating figure was almost as if he had stepped back in place.
Han Xuanji's figure flashed past the sword cultivator's side. The Azure Heaven Sword flipped in his palm, its blade slicing into the weakest gap in the layers of Sword Gang at an extremely tricky angle. The Power of Mystic Heaven surged into the sword, transforming into a dark, sharp light that silently swept across the opponent's throat.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, the sound of the Sword Gang energy collapsing inch by inch. Immediately afterwards, a white light shot into the sky, appearing particularly dazzling against the backdrop of churning thunderclouds.
One sword strike, and he was killed.
From Han Xuanji's initial attack to the sword cultivator transforming into white light, it all happened in the blink of an eye, barely a breath.
Almost in the blink of an eye, one of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association Society perished.
Liu Wanxu's pupils suddenly contracted, and an undisguised horror appeared in his usually calm eyes.
He anticipated that Han Xuanji was very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for four people to surround and attack him, placing him on the same level as Li Fu and the others, or even paying more attention to him. After all, compared to Li Fu and the others, there was very little information about Han Xuanji, as he rarely fought against others and therefore had little information.
But they never imagined that even so, they had still underestimated their opponent.
He was able to launch an attack even when surrounded by four people, and he never expected that the opponent's speed would be so fast that he didn't even have time to dodge or defend against it.
The newly formed quartet is now down to one person, and the remaining two stand together, their faces ashen.
Although they were not afraid of strong enemies, this completely unexpected crushing defeat cast a shadow over their spirits. They were outnumbered and had put all their strength into every attack, but the opponent's counterattack was always fatal.
Who will be next?
" Liu Wanxu!"
Wan Kun suddenly spoke, his voice no longer composed, but tinged with urgency:
"We've greatly underestimated Han Xuanji's strength. Let's retreat!"
Liu Wanxu's face was ashen. "You're the one who was ordered to fight, and you're the one who's going to retreat."
This infuriated him immensely.
But there's no point in arguing about this now, Liu Wanxu said, barely suppressing his anger.
How do we get there?
Han Xuanji's sword strike just now startled him. He could clearly see that the opponent was extremely fast. If he really retreated, he would probably be easily defeated one by one.
Meanwhile, the duel between Wang Jue and Li Fu was reaching its climax. Seeing that Han Xuanji was making progress, Li Fu became anxious and launched increasingly fierce attacks, almost like a desperate fight.
Although Wang Jue was quite strong, he was still a step behind Li Fu. Seeing the situation getting worse, he became increasingly anxious, and his breathing became heavier, clearly indicating that he couldn't hold on for much longer.
Han Xuanji did not pursue the group again. He activated the Five Elements Heaven Escape Technique once more, leaving several afterimages in the void. In the next instant, he appeared behind Wang Jue.
Wang Jue sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy behind him and retreated to dodge the attack. However, Li Fu's attack came one after another, leaving him almost no chance to catch his breath. His pupils suddenly contracted as he tried to turn around and block, but Li Fu sword crashed down like Mount Tai.
This burly man is one of the strongest fighters in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association. His ability to fight Li Fu to this extent shows that his strength should not be underestimated.
He miraculously survived that attack.
The first thing he did after surviving was to glare angrily at Liu Wanxu and the others, and roar:
"Aren't you guys coming to help me right now?"
help?
How can I help?
You were so confident before, why are you so weak now?
Liu Wanxu thought about many things in that instant, and even felt a sense of satisfaction.
His gaze swept across the entire battlefield like lightning. Wang Jue was already showing signs of defeat under Li Fu's Li Fu and relentless attacks. Wan Kun was injured by Han Xuanji's palm strike and his aura was weak, so he obviously couldn't hold on for long. The two remaining people were still trying their best to maintain their formation, but the intention to retreat in their eyes could not be hidden.
On the other side, Han Xuanji only suffered minor injuries, Li Fu was in Li Fu spirits, and even Zhou Yuan's side made no progress.
There's no hope of turning the tide in this battle. If it drags on any longer and Wang Jue's side completely collapses, none of them will be able to escape.
"There's nothing I can do... Who told you not to listen to me back then?"
Liu Wanxu silently apologized to Wang Jue, took a deep breath, and decisively shouted at Wan Kun and the remaining two:
"Split up and regroup at the usual spot."
Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of azure light and sped off in the northwest. His speed was so fast that even Han Xuanji couldn't help but take another look.
This vice-chairman of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association usually keeps a low profile, but he has hidden his escape technique quite well.
Wan Kun had been waiting for these words, and almost the instant Liu Wanxu spoke, he turned and fled without hesitation.
He was already seriously injured; if the fight continued, he wouldn't even have the strength to run.
Seeing that the vice-leader and Wan Kun had both fled, the remaining two lost all thought of selflessness. They didn't even bother to inform each other, and each fled in different directions for their lives. At this moment, they only wished that their parents had given them two more legs.
Wang Jue was struggling to hold on when he caught a glimpse of Liu Wanxu and his three companions running away without looking back. He was both shocked and furious, and he started yelling and cursing in the direction they had disappeared:
"You bunch of beasts! I'm still fighting, why are you running away? Are you all just watching me die?!"
His roar echoed through the thunderclouds but received no response; only Li Fu's grinning face drew ever closer.
"Hmph, it seems your brothers have chosen you to cover their retreat."
Li Fu grinned, gripped the heavy sword with both hands, and exerted force, pressing the blade down on Wang Jue's arms inch by inch.
The rocks beneath Wang Jue's feet could not withstand the immense force, and they cracked outwards in a radial pattern centered on his feet, with spiderweb-like fissures spreading for dozens of feet.
Just as he was gritting his teeth and holding on, Han Xuanji's Azure Heaven Sword pierced through from the side like a ghost. The azure light flowing on the blade left Dao's Extremity arc in the air. The invisible sharpness formed by the Power of Mystic Heaven silently cut into Wang Jue's body, and the two forces erupted at the same time.
Wang Jue's movements suddenly froze, as he felt two chaotic forces within his body constantly disrupting him, making it almost impossible for him to exert any strength.
"Master Chi will avenge me!"
The resentment and anger in Wang Jue's voice were crystal clear.
At this point, he naturally couldn't utter any words of begging for mercy; he could only pray that Chi Yuan would avenge him.
Han Xuanji had not yet spoken.
Li Fu grinned and said:
"Then you'll have to wait outside for a while. I'll send that bastard Chi Yuan out to keep you company sooner or later! Perfect timing, you Ten Thousand Immortals Association have a table together!"
He spoke with a mixture of anger and smugness, clearly having held these words in for a long time.
