Chapter 4096: Retreating
Hong Tianbu had also studied formation techniques before, but this was only limited to the mortal level. After stepping onto the Celestial Path, formation techniques were far too time- consuming, and they also required the support of powerful Spiritual Power. Thus, he placed all of his focus on cultivation.
Even so, he still felt that there was not enough time, but what about Ling Han?
Comparisons would drive one crazy.
He was not willing to accept this, nor could he accept that the gap between the two of them would be so overwhelmingly wide.
“Die! Die! Die!” His fighting spirit was completely ignited. At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was to kill Ling Han.
Once Ling Han died, all the humiliation he had suffered would disappear without a trace, and no matter how outstanding Ling Han was, he would only become a piece of history.
Ling Han was calm and unperturbed. He extracted the Earth Qi and transformed it into the Earth Dragon.
And this time, the two Earth Dragons appeared at the same time.
Even if Hong Tianbu was stronger than the average True Self Tier cultivator, so what? It was impossible for him to destroy two Earth Dragons in one go. Instead, he was countered by the Earth Dragons, which made him feel extremely terrible.
The expressions of the Eastern Sea Venerate and Di Hailan were both extremely terrible. This was a scene that they could never have imagined.
A dignified True Self Tier cultivator couldn’t do anything to a Core Formation Tier cultivator, and even showed signs of being counter-suppressed.
This was a fantasy story.
It wasn’t that Hong Tianbu was too weak-no matter how weak a True Self Tier cultivator was, he was still a True Self Tier cultivator. He could crush a Core Formation Tier cultivator single-handedly, but Ling Han was too freakish. He was actually a Formations Grandmaster, an existence that could match a Spiritual Transformation Tier cultivator.
Thus, it wouldn’t be strange for Hong Tianbu to be blocked, or even defeated in fact. If it weren’t for the fact that Ling Han was still limited by his own cultivation level and unable to fully unleash his powerful spiritual power, he could have even insta-killed Hong Tianbu with a single strike.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Hong Tianbu continued to attack, yet he was completely unable to break through the Earth Dragons’ blockade. Under Ling Han’s control, five Earth Dragons appeared at the same time, launching attacks at Hong Tianbu.
Five Earth Dragons!
This was equivalent to five True Self Tier cultivators. Even if Hong Tianbu was quite extraordinary, he was still someone who had damaged his foundations, after all. Forcibly breaking through to True Self Tier would definitely lead to an evil consequence that his battle prowess at the same cultivation level was not strong enough.
Thus, when all five Earth Dragons appeared at the same time, he would not be able to hold on any longer.
He was outmatched!
He was overcome with grief. He was a dignified True Self Tier cultivator, yet he was no match for a Core Formation Tier cultivator. He had lost all face.
However, defeat was still better than being defeated and dying.
Hong Tianbu was already thinking of retreating. He knew that after retreating, he would no longer have the chance to defeat Ling Han. However, if he didn’t retreat, he would die. He naturally didn’t want to die even more.
However, Ling Han had no intention of sparing Hong Tianbu’s life.
-You have come to kill me, so you must be prepared to die as well.
He shot out the black light of illusion, and Hong Tianbu immediately fell into an illusion. Then, the five Earth Dragons took advantage of the opening to attack him.
The disadvantage of the Earth Dragon was that it was not agile. Against a real True Self Tier, it would only be effective for defense, but if it wanted to hurt someone… the latter would just have to dodge, which was very easy.
However, the Earth Dragon added with the black light of illusion was a completely different story.
Two seconds, wasn’t that enough time for the Earth Dragons to completely outflank their target?
When Hong Tianbu broke free from the illusion, he had to face the mad barrage of attacks from the five Earth Dragons, forcing him to use his trump card, and use the Primordial Beast’s eye to petrify and shatter the Earth Dragons.
But the problem was that the Earth Dragons were only formed from Earth Qi, and did not have any life. So be it if they exploded. Ling Han could easily create another Earth Dragon, and his attacks would not stop at all.
At the risk of sustaining some injuries, Hong Tianbu forcefully barged out of the Earth Dragons’ encirclement. However, the black light of illusion attacked, and he once again fell into the illusion. When he struggled free, he was once again surrounded by the Earth Dragons. In everyone’s eyes, Ling Han didn’t need to do it himself. He could simply summon the Earth Dragons and deal with Hong Tianbu.
Who could compare to such a prodigy?
“Sister, just marry him. I don’t think this kind of brother-in-law can be found no matter how hard you try.” Among the members of the Donglin Imperial Clan, the mischievous Chi Mengshan began to persuade again. Seeing that Chi Menghan didn’t answer her at all, she placed her hands on her hips, and said, “Let me tell you, Chi Menghan, if I weren’t too young, I wouldn’t have given such a good man to you!”
Chi Menghan placed a hand on her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Why was this little sister of hers giving her such a headache?
‘Can’t you act like a little girl in her teens? Why are you so mature?!’
The Eastern Sea Venerate frowned. He couldn’t sit by and watch any longer. Otherwise, Hong Tianbu would definitely die.
However, just as he was about to make a move, he saw the Nine Mountains Venerate had
already stepped in front of him.
“Nine Mountains, move aside!” he declared darkly.
“What a joke. This is my territory, and you think you’re worthy of shouting here?” Nine Mountains Venerate said coldly.
“Heng, if Hong Tianbu dies, I definitely won’t let the matter go!” the Eastern Sea Venerate
threatened.
En, are you trying to scare me?
The Nine Mountains Venerate directly summoned the Nine Suns Parasol. Although the Saint Tool hadn’t awakened, merely a sliver of saintly might circulated, which was enough to give a Venerate Tier a headache.
‘F*** you!’
The Eastern Sea Venerate was completely dumbfounded at this moment. ‘I’ve only said one word, and you’ve already taken out the Saint Tool. Is that appropriate?’
He was protective of his own people, but compared with Nine Mountains Venerate, the two of them weren’t on the same level at all.
“Just obediently stay there. Otherwise, I won’t mind detaining you here forever,” the Nine Mountains Venerate said calmly. However, his tone was extremely firm.
The Eastern Sea Venerate was rendered speechless, and could only tremble in fury. Return to the main branch and ask the Saint to bring the Imperial Weapon to flatten this
place?
What a joke; even Imperial Clan elites couldn’t act recklessly. Even if they mobilized an Imperial Weapon, they would have to be reasonable and justified – oh, you, a True Self Tier elite, bullied a Core Formation Tier. You didn’t win and were killed, yet you still want a Saint to take out an Imperial Weapon to avenge you. If word got out, wouldn’t you be laughed at by
others?
In the whole universe, the Heaven Wolf Imperial Clan was not the only Imperial Clan. The Imperial Clan could not do as they liked, simply suppressing all negative public opinion.
“Fourth great-grandfather!” Di Hailan was getting anxious. Hong Tianjin’s situation was getting worse and worse.
“Shut up!” the Eastern Sea Venerate shouted. He then looked at the Nine Mountains Venerate and said, “Fine, I admit defeat. I can guarantee that the Heaven Wolf Imperial Clan will never cause trouble for this brat again.”
Yet the Nine Mountains Venerate scoffed, and said, “If you want to target that brat, just make your move. Without experiencing some hardships, how could that brat be able to grow? However, this battle must be fought to the end!”
‘F*ck! I’ve never seen anyone like you before. How can you be so shameless?’
This was a member of the Imperial Clan; did they really think that they were so easily
offended?
However, the Nine Mountains Venerate had already made his stand clear. The Saint Tool was also on the verge of awakening at any moment, and the Eastern Sea Venerate didn’t dare to provoke it at all. Otherwise, he would definitely die here today.
To be killed by a Saint Tool, there was definitely no way he could be saved.
His eyes were spitting fire, while his hands were tightly clenched. “Nine Mountains, are you planning to push the Nine Suns Holy Land into a fire pit?”
“What a joke, this is a ‘fair’ battle. What is it? Does your Di Clan have any objections?” The Nine Mountains Venerate said calmly, not feeling threatened at all.
“Good! Good! Good!” The Eastern Sea Venerate said good three times. He had already decided
that after this, he would go to the main branch. No matter what, he had to ask an Imperial Son
to come out and kill Ling Han.
In a fair battle, so there would be no argument!
