Lv Han shouted testily to probe.
But after a while, there was no movement.
“Am I just too tense?”
Thinking so, Lv Han maintained his vigilance for a while longer, but nothing happened.
He relaxed a bit and was about to continue when suddenly a multitude of blood-colored branches burst from the ground around him and thrust at him rapidly!
“Hmm?!” Lv Han’s expression changed. He quickly drew his long saber and slashed out repeatedly.
“Ice Goose Ten Strikes!”
Frost like a chain. Cross cold air shot out from Lv Han, spinning around and cutting all the attacking blood-colored branches in an instant!
Lv Han relaxed slightly, “Heh, looks like the attacker is rather weak…”
But at this moment, a shallow blood-color spread across the ground. From all directions, countless blood Bodhi branches swarmed in, ten times the amount from before!
“Damn it!”
Lv Han’s pupils contracted. He immediately formed a seal with his hand.
“Ice Sealing Technique!”
As soon as the seal was complete, a layer of intense ice-cold energy surged from Lv Han, forming an ice crystal a zhang high that encased him within moments.
“Thud, thud, thud…”
Countless blood Bodhi branches struck the ice crystal, unable to penetrate, and instead got frozen onto it.
This was Lv Han’s accidentally acquired epic defense skill—the Ice Sealing Technique.
Though he had only achieved it at Master Level, its defensive power was extraordinary.
However, this skill had a major flaw. During its use, the caster couldn’t move unless they chose to end the skill, making it less flexible.
Still, an Epic Skill was preferable to a blue one, and at critical moments, it could block an enemy’s ultimate moves.
For now, the numerous blood Bodhi branches couldn’t break the ice crystal.
At that moment, a blood-colored figure walked toward him.
Seeing this person, Lv Han’s eyes widened in alarm and disbelief.
“Damn! Why is he here!”
This person was none other than the demon cultivator from the stronghold!
“Could it be that the Hundred Origin Sect lost? No, that’s not right…”
Lv Han barely had time to think. The Blood Robed Youth raised his hand, summoning a massive blood hand that crashed down from above!
“Boom!”
The ice crystal only showed a few cracks under the impact.
This proved that the Ice Sealing Technique’s defense was indeed strong.
But the Blood Robed Youth didn’t hesitate. Blood light swirled around him, condensing several giant blood hands that smashed down together as Lv Han’s face turned pale!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
“Damn it!”
Even though the Ice Sealing Technique was tough, under such relentless attacks, ice shards splintered, and cracks spread. It wouldn’t hold for much longer!
At this moment, Lv Han realized the truth, looking at the emotionless Blood Robed Youth.
“Could it be… all of these are the demon cultivator’s clones?”
Realizing this, Lv Han’s pupils trembled violently, feeling a chilling fear rise from his heart.
If the clones were this strong, the real one must be terrifying!
“If that’s the case, everyone will die here! No, wait… there’s those strong Hundred Origin Sect disciples. I just need to hold on a bit longer, and someone might come to help!”
With this thought, Lv Han’s hope rekindled.
Just then, golden chains shot out from the night, wrapping around the Blood Robed Youth and binding him tightly!
“What?” Lv Han quickly looked in the direction.
A silver-eyed youth in a black robe walked toward him.
“It’s him?”
Lv Han recognized him immediately. It was the individual he had cheated out of 10,000 Cent Star Stones.
Lv Han was greatly surprised, but any help was welcome, especially since this person had managed to control the Blood Robed Youth.
“Brother, please help me!” Lv Han shouted from within the ice crystal.
To Lv Han, as long as Su Yuan came over, even if he couldn’t defeat the Blood Robed Youth, he could distract him, allowing Lv Han to end the Ice Sealing Technique and escape, then return to the shore and sail away.
Blood light surged around the Blood Robed Youth, attempting to break free from the Heavenly Lock.
Lv Han grew anxious, urging, “Brother, kill him! He’s a demon cultivator!”
“Okay, no problem,” Su Yuan smiled, flashing to the Blood Robed Youth’s side.
With a flip of his hand, he drew the Demon Saber. In a series of black flashes, the bound Blood Robed Youth was sliced into pieces and exploded into countless fragments!
“???” Lv Han stared at the scene, stunned.
The demon cultivator’s clone, which even the Hundred Origin Sect couldn’t handle, was annihilated in an instant?
“He is this strong?!”
Several seconds later, Lv Han gulped, his mind in turmoil!
Seeing the relaxed black-robed youth, thinking about how he had tried to overcharge and kill this “fat sheep,” Lv Han felt an overwhelming sense of surviving a disaster.
“Captain Lv, are you alright?” Su Yuan asked with a smile.
“N-no problem! Thank you, brother, for saving me,” Lv Han retracted the Ice Sealing Technique, suppressing his astonishment.
“Your strength is truly remarkable!”
Su Yuan retracted the Heavenly Lock, casually saying, “Not too bad.”
Lv Han’s eyes shifted, forcing a smile and bowing toward Su Yuan.
“Earlier incident over the boat fare was my mistake. I’ll refund the excess fare… no, full refund! Just consider it my way of thanking you. Please don’t hold it against me!”
Su Yuan laughed, “Captain Lv, no need for jokes. I don’t bear a grudge over some Spirit Stones.”
Lv Han internally sighed with relief, joyful, about to say something.
“However… if someone wants to kill me, then they must die.”
“What?!” Lv Han’s face changed drastically.
The next moment, the crimson blade had already pierced his chest.
Su Yuan smiled faintly, “When I bought the ticket and got off the boat… your killing intent was far too obvious.”
“You!…”
Lv Han tried to speak, but Su Yuan wasn’t interested. The Demon Saber twisted, the fierce Space Power from the blade tore him into a mist of blood…
