Chapter 4078: Hide and Seek
In truth, Ling Han was also extremely displeased.
First, it was Shi Yongming, followed by Liu Yiming and Liu Kaiji. All of them relied on their high cultivation level and battle prowess to attack whenever they wanted. Did they really think that he was made of clay and had no temper?
Towards this kind of provocation, Ling Han’s response was to slap him across the face, beating him until he submitted.
But now, though these three people could do nothing against him, which was extremely embarrassing to them, Ling Han was still unable to personally beat them up, and was extremely displeased.
Fine, while those Saints and Venerate Tier elites were still comprehending, he would refine the Soul Nurturing Stone, and break through to the late stage of the Core Formation Tier.
If he advanced into the late stage of the Core Formation Tier, according to his experience, his original power would definitely be able to reach 25 Heavens. Then, the Primal Chaos Celestial Core would pull down the battle prowess of Shi Yongming, Liu Yiming, and so on by three Heavens. The two sides would be equal in terms of original power.
With equal power, who could be a match for him?
Ling Han found an excuse to excuse himself from Chi Menghan and Chi Dao. He then left quietly by himself, keeping his distance from the others.
However, there were no hidden places here, but there was fog everywhere, blocking divine sense. It would be extremely difficult for others to find him.
Fine, he would cultivate in seclusion here.
Ling Han took out the Soul Nurturing Stone, and began to refine it.
He held the Soul Nurturing Stone in both hands and channeled the Nine Suns Divine Scroll, extracting its essence for his own use.
An indescribable power surged into his body, yet he couldn’t feel the impact of the power. This was extremely strange.
Was this Regulations?
Ling Han thought. The Core Formation Tier had actually already come into contact with Regulations, but the cultivators were in a hazy state. They had clearly come into contact with it, yet were completely unable to understand it.
Just like how everyone knew that eating meat was nutritious, but why was it nutritious? There were a great many people that did not understand the logic behind this.
Who cares? I’ll just raise my cultivation level first. When I reach the True Self Tier, I’ll naturally be able to understand.
With the nourishment of the Soul Nurturing Stone, the Primal Chaos Celestial Core’s growth rate immediately sped up.
Ling Han was already nearing the end of the middle stage of the Core Formation Tier in the first place, and with the help of the Soul Nurturing Stone, he quickly took this step, cultivating the middle stage of the Core Formation Tier to the Consummate level.
At this moment, he needed to take that most crucial step and break through to the late stage of the Core Formation Tier.
Ling Han placed the Soul Nurturing Stone down first. He wouldn’t be able to use this thing in his break through into the late stage of the Core Formation Tier.
He sat in a cross-legged position, like a boulder. He was in no rush to break through. Instead, he first reflected on himself, to see if he had cultivated his present cultivation level to perfection.
Fixing it now would be a hundred times easier than coming back later. In fact, there were some shortcomings that could not be compensated, or would need the Saintly medicine to be able to mend.
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, four days had passed.
Ling Han suddenly shuddered, and sense of danger rose up in his heart.
Strange Shadow Steps!
Realization suddenly dawned on him. Someone was approaching him with the Strange Shadow Steps.
An assassin from the Battle God Palace.
Humph, he had not thought that there would actually be someone from the Battle God Palace here. He should have coincidentally participated in this expedition, and then accidentally discovered that he was here as well.
Previously, Ling Han had been with Chi Menghan and the others, so the assassin didn’t have the chance to attack. However, now that Ling Han was moving alone, the assassin had sneaked over.
Why had he only come after so many days?
Simple. The blood mist here cut off divine sense and vision, so it would naturally take some time to find him.
A smile appeared at the corners of Ling Han’s lips. ‘Then I’m really sorry. I also know the Strange Shadow Steps. In fact, it’s the complete version. When it suddenly unfolds, who knows who would be given a scare.’
He was really looking forward to it.
He remained calm and collected, not even raising a single finger.
The assassin was approaching, and had already reached Ling Han’s back. Then, he suddenly drew his sword. Weng, the Spirit Tool was activated, and a dazzling light burst forth from the sharp sword, a terrifying aura circulating around it.
This sword could be considered top grade among Three Star Spirit Tools. As an assassin, the requirement for “tools” was naturally high.
However, in the instant that he stabbed out with his sword, he suddenly discovered that Ling
Han had disappeared.
He was gone!
How was this possible?
How could a living person suddenly disappear? Was this a ghost?
“Looking for me?” Just as he was at a loss, a voice rang out from behind him.
Ling Han!
Hiss, it was really haunted here.
It could not be said that his reaction speed was not fast. Immediately, he stabbed his sword behind him, and then his figure rapidly turned around.
Where was he?
He suddenly discovered that it was completely empty ahead of him. There was not even a
single person.
This… A cold chill gripped at his heart. This was far too uncanny! His hair stood on end.
“Still looking for me?” At this moment, Ling Han’s voice was heard from behind him again. The assassin turned around again. Shua, he sent out a palm strike, but his long sword had stabbed out in a completely opposite direction.
But whether it was the palm strike or the sword, they both missed.
He forced himself to calm down. Using the Strange Shadow Steps, he immediately fled into the shadows. After quickly moving a few steps, he stopped.
His mastery of the Strange Shadow Steps had yet to reach the peak stage, so when he was moving, he would cause slight fluctuations in the air. As long as one was careful enough, they would discover it. However, once he stopped moving, there would really be no flaws.
He was waiting. He was waiting for Ling Han to appear first, and then he would seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
“Hehe, let’s play a game now. It’s called hide-and-seek.” Ling Han’s voice rang out. His figure appeared not too far away, but just as the assassin was about to make a move, Ling Han once again disappeared without a trace.
The assassin instantly broke out in a cold sweat, because this time, he could clearly see that Ling Han’s method of fleeing into the shadows was exactly the same as his. Furthermore, it
was even more covert and untraceable.
Strange Shadow Steps!
But how was this possible? This was a secret of the Battle God Palace that would not be taught
to outsiders, so why would it be used by an outsider? Furthermore, it was a target that the
Battle God Palace was determined to kill?
“I’ve caught you!” Right at this moment, Ling Han’s voice rang out behind him.
The assassin instantly felt his scalp go numb.
He had actually been caught by Ling Han while in the state of Strange Shadow Steps. What
kind of concept was that?
This meant that the other’s grasp of the Strange Shadow Steps was superior to his!
“You, how do you know the Strange Shadow Steps?” As he asked, he stabbed out like
lightning.
“You guess,” Ling Han said with a smile. His figure appeared, and he immediately grabbed onto his opponent’s sword. The Starlight Screen enveloped him, allowing him to catch the Spirit Tool with his bare hands.
In fact, when he tempered his physique to a slightly stronger level, even if he didn’t channel the Starlight Screen, he would still be able to take on a Spirit Tool of the same level head-on. The assassin’s eyes were about to pop out of his head. ‘F*cking caught a Spirit Tool with his bare hands? Are you a Body Arts cultivator? But there’s clearly no such data in the
information.’
This was too much of a failure. How had the intel been gathered?
Ling Han smiled calmly, “Are you the only one this time, or is there someone else travelling
with you?”
“Humph, you want me to reveal the secret of the Battle God Palace? Impossible!” the assassin said resolutely.
Ling Han laughed, and said, “Actually, we’re on the same side.” As he said this, he released
his grip, then continued, “You see, if that wasn’t the case, why would I know the Strange
Shadow Steps?”
Yi, that made sense.
The assassin was slightly dazed.
