Chapter 4084: Backer
The True Self Tier assassin roared loudly, and charged towards Ling Han again. Then, he stabbed and slashed again and again, strike after strike. Black light blazed, and killing intent spread out, his divine might incredibly powerful.
But as everyone watched, they all felt a sense of amusement and terror rise up in their hearts.
That was because that assassin was randomly attacking again, and was completely slashing at empty air.
Right, he had once again fallen into an illusion.
After a while, the assassin came back to his senses. He faltered for a moment, and his whole face was as red as blood.
Ling Han, Im going to tear you into pieces! He charged over again, and then... very tragically, continued to slash at the air.
Ling Han!
Cutting at empty air.
Ling Han!
Cutting at empty air.
A considerable number of people couldnt help but laugh. This scene was indeed quite hilarious, but top-notch prodigies such as Chi Menghan and the others didnt smile at all. They only felt a deep wariness towards Ling Hans strength.
That was a True Self Tier assassin, and he was actually being toyed around with by Ling Han. This was practically a freak.
However, what they didnt know was that Ling Han also felt very regretful. Being trapped in an illusion didnt mean that he had lost consciousness. When he was attacked, he would still instinctively counterattack. Thus, even if Ling Han attacked, it would only be a waste of energy.
The higher ones cultivation level, the more difficult it would be to win with a disadvantage in cultivation level. Even a disadvantage of a minor level was extremely difficult, let alone a diadvantage of a major tier.
However, those who could advance into the True Self Tier definitely had very high natural talent in martial arts, so the assassins resistance to illusions was also getting stronger and stronger. At the beginning, the illusion was enough to trap him for about half a minute, but now, one or two seconds was already the limit.
Ling Han, youre definitely going to die today! the assassin said balefully. He already knew how to deal with the illusion.
It couldnt be helped. After all, there was a gap of a major tier between their cultivation levels. It was already quite impressive that Ling Han was able to affect him, and if their cultivation levels were equal, Ling Han could even use an illusion to trap his opponent until he died of old age.
Ling Han cracked a smile, Im afraid you wont be able to!
You, a mere Core Formation Tier cultivator, and I have already broken through your illusion technique, so how are you going to stop me? That assassin walked towards Ling Han, step by step. The tip of his sword was lowered, and killing intent surged out, drawing an obvious mark on the ground.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, Youre dreaming!
Haha, die! The assassin pounced over. He became one with his sword, and he was like a fleeting swan.
However, a large hand suddenly swatted over. Peng, that assassin was pressed into the ground. Then, that large hand turned into drifting energy that returned to the heaven and earth, and the assassin had already been smashed into mush of blood.
Hiss!
Which elite had made a move?
Weng, everyone felt a frightening pressure assault them, and saw that those Saints that had disappeared, Venerate Tiers, and Sect Masters had all returned.
The Nine Mountains Venerate also appeared beside Ling Han. He was the one who had struck Battle God Palaces assassin to death.
What a joke. He had already considered Ling Han as his personal disciple, and had placed his hopes on him becoming an Emperor. How could he allow others to assassinate him?
Senior, did you gain anything? Ling Han asked.
The Nine Mountains Venerate nodded, and smiled. Ive gained quite a lot.
Ling Han retrieved a Spatial Tool and handed it over, saying, This is a small token from this disciple.
The Nine Mountains Venerate couldnt help but laugh in spite of himself. This disciple of his actually gave him something. Hehe, it had only ever been an elder giving something to a junior. Now that it was him, why was it the other way around?
However, he didnt mind this. After receiving the Spatial Spirit Tool, he swept his divine sense over it and was astonished.
This was a Dao Stone, and one that had been refined by a Great Emperor at that!
This time, he was excited. At his cultivation level, it was already extremely difficult to take another step forward. Previously, he had observed the Regulations of heaven and earth in the Blood Palace, which gave him a feeling of appreciation. If he could strike while the iron was hot, and comprehend with the Dao Stone of a Great Emperor, the possibility of taking another step forward would be extremely high.
However, after only a single thought, the Nine Mountains Venerate returned the Spatial Spirit Tool to Ling Han, and said, You have boundless future prospects. These Dao Stones will be left for you to use when you attempt to break through to the Saint Path in future.
In comparison, he valued Ling Hans future more.
Ling Han smiled, and pushed the Spatial Spirit Tool back towards him, Senior, you need more than I do. Furthermore, if you take another step further, or even become a Saint in fact, then wouldnt my backer be even more reliable?
The Nine Mountains Venerate faltered upon seeing Ling Hans serious expression. He couldnt help but laugh loudly and put away the Spirit Tool. Alright, Ill be your backer in the
future!
He naturally liked Ling Han even more.
Ling Han, on the other hand, did not feel the slightest heartache. He was filled with confidence in himself, and believed that he would be able to comprehend the Regulations of heaven and earth without depending on this kind of external object. Furthermore, comprehending the Dao Stones refined by a Great Emperor would definitely affect him. For those who were determined to break through to the Imperial Path, this was actually disadvantageous.
-Part of the reason why the Imperial Clans could not produce a second Great Emperor was because they were too deeply influenced by their own clans Great Emperor, so how could they possibly walk their own path?
On the other side, Liu Kaij and Liu Yiming were also making complaints, but when the Shattering Stars Saint heard this, he only warned the two of them. As members of the Imperial Clan, this was indeed an incredibly glorious matter, but if they only used their power to bully others, that would be embarrassing the Imperial Clan.
It had to be admitted that those that could become Saints did indeed have a great bearing. Of course, it was also possible that Saints could not bring themselves to bully a mere Core Formation Tier cultivator.
At the very least, Shattering Stars Saint hadnt attacked Ling Han yet.
All the juniors related the current situation, and this caused the three Saints to feel curious.
They were very proud. What place in this world could imprison them?
It should be known that they still had an Imperial Weapon on them!
Thus, the three Saints each grabbed their own juniors, and with a flash, they had already
begun to cross the ocean.
They were Saints, how awesome!
Senior, would you like to try as well? Ling Han asked.
The Nine Mountains Venerate shook his head. He kept staring at the surface of the sea, and after a while, he said, There are astonishing Regulations in this seawater and on the surface of the sea, and they are intertwined. I can resist them, but it wont last long, and this will corrode my flesh and blood completely.
In other words, even if a Venerate Tier crossed the sea bravely, it was very likely that he would
die midway.
This was the power of a Great Emperor. Even though he had been dead for heaven knows how many years, even Venerate Tier elites had to respect him.
Then what could they do? Just go back like this?
Come, lets go take a look at that pile of bones, the Nine Mountains Venerate suddenly said.
Previously, Ling Han had mentioned this to him .
All right. Ling Han naturally would not object.
The two of them soon arrived at the pile of skulls. The Nine Mountains Venerate swept an eye
over it, then turned to Ling Han and said, Are you brave?
Quite so, I should think.
Thats good.
The Nine Mountains Venerate moved, and began to dismantle this pile of skulls. Then, he
turned these skulls into a raft.
No way, you want to use this to cross the sea?
The Nine Mountains Venerate seemed to have seen through his confusion, and said, According to my deductions, the bones should be immune to the corrosion of Regulations, so it wouldnt hurt to give it a try.
