Chapter 1845: Immortal Beheading
Chapter 1845: Immortal Beheading
Since the libationer’s final retaliation had left him with quite severe injuries, Zhao Han had always held himself back from using his primordial spirit. He needed a bit of time to recover. Furthermore, his heaven and man deterioration was approaching, so every second was precious. However, right now, he was too angry to think about that and only wanted Zu An dead, even if he had to spend a lot of time to rest and recover after.
The instant Zhao Han’s primordial spirit appeared, Zu An immediately felt the air around him become a bit sticky. Even moving around became a bit troublesome. Every cell in his body was on alert. At nearly the same instant, however, he used the ‘Ikuu Experience Card’ skill.
If your back hurts, it might not be because of a blade. If you are screaming your heart and lungs out, it might not be because of pain…
Sun En had suffered badly from the same skill earlier, and his cultivation didn’t seem to be weaker than Zhao Han’s at all.
When he was hit by the skill, Zhao Han’s entire body trembled. Even his primordial spirit trembled, and it almost scattered away on the spot!
“Ikuu ikuu!” Zhao Han screamed shamefully. He was completely stupefied.
In that moment of absentmindedness, Zu An quickly got ready. He arrived by Zhao Han’s side, and activated the Star Shattering Imprint. His power multiplied tenfold!
A pitch-black dagger sliced toward Zhao Han’s throat. Still, even though his entire body was shaking from humiliation, he still instinctively moved to the side, preventing his neck from being hit. Even so, Zu An already knew there was no way that attack would land. Instead, he went for Zhao Han’s finger.
The Poisonous Prick was special in that as long as it created any injury, the person hit would die on the spot, even if it only cut a bit of their skin. The dagger was incredibly sharp, and together with the Star Shattering Imprint’s tenfold power, not even Zhao Han’s body-protecting ki could stop it.
The dagger had already reached Zhao Han’s finger and was about to cut open a wound when a ripple of power suddenly pushed it away. Zu An was alarmed. Now that his attack had failed, he immediately escaped a thousand feet away.
Zhao Han’s expression darkened. He took out a heart-protecting lens from his inner pocket, which had a crack on it. Then, it audibly shattered on the spot. A look of shock flashed across his face as he said, “I didn’t expect your attack to have almost threatened my life. The fact that you managed to push me this far is something you can already be extremely proud of!”
Zu An frowned. As expected of the emperor who ruled from sea to sea, he actually had so many protective treasures on him! Zu An had already prepared for everything, and yet all his methods were dealt with so easily. Helpless to do anything else, he used the ‘Ikuu Experience Card’ again. Then, his figure flickered as he attacked Zhao Han from all directions.
All kinds of humiliating scenes appeared in Zhao Han’s mind, but he had already experienced the skill before. He did his best to control his body’s reactions, saying, “Hmph, do you think I’ll fall for the same skill twice?”
Zu An tried it again several more times, but not only did it not affect Zhao Han, he was almost caught. Out of helplessness, he could only widen the distance between them again.
Zhao Han stared at him and spat furiously, “Just what kind of skill is this? Can you stop using it?”
You have successfully trolled Zhao Han for +777 +777 +777…
Even though he knew these experiences were just an illusion, he still instinctively felt as if his ‘chrysanthemum’ was becoming a bit tight. He really didn’t want to continue experiencing that kind of thing.
Zu An asked with a smile, “How exactly does it feel, your majesty?”
Zhao Han could no longer keep his calm. His primordial spirit condensed again and a golden giant reached out toward Zu An.
Zu An barely managed to avoid it; the mountaintop he was standing on immediately came crashing down.
“Let’s see just how long you can dodge for!” Zhao Han hissed, his expression dark. He was full of regret. He thought to himself that he should have immediately crushed this little bastard to death during their first meeting so he wouldn’t have to suffer that kind of humiliation.
You have successfully trolled Zhao Han for +886 +886 +886…
The golden primordial spirit continued to chase after Zu An. Even the air around them became viscous, making it hard for Zu An to even move or dodge. He could only rely on Grandgale to barely deal with Zhao Han. However, the distance he struggled to cover was crossed almost instantly by the golden giant. If not for the fact that he kept using ‘What you lookin’ at’, the ‘Ikuu Experience Card’, the ‘Goldensnake King’s Eye’, and other skills to continuously break Zhao Han’s concentration, he probably would have long since lost his life.
However, that only made Zhao Han more and more angry, making his attacks more and more ferocious.
Zu An cried out bitterly inside. No wonder it was said that all creatures beneath the earth immortal rank were ants! Once their primordial spirits appeared, it became absolutely overwhelming!
Previously, it was thanks to the libationer seriously wounding Zhao Han that he didn’t dare to immediately bring out his primordial spirit. Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen had thus been able to barely hold him back.
Zu An took a deep breath, and his entire aura suddenly surged. He actually managed to break through the restrictions of the enemy’s primordial spirit and move several hundred feet. He flew through the air on the Wind Fire Wheels.
As they fought, Zhao Han also grew more and more alarmed. He had suspected that Zu An was hiding undisclosed strength, but he never expected it to be this much! More importantly, with his current cultivation, many skills were already ineffective against him, and yet this guy’s skills seemed to disregard disparities in cultivation. The laws behind them were incredibly profound, to the point that he was even becoming a bit scared.
Fortunately, those skills weren’t too damaging, or else he would really be in trouble. Even so, in the end, he still couldn't stand the humiliation. He discovered that his thoughts were really all over the place.
Just what is going on now? Why is Zu An’s aura suddenly becoming so much stronger?
Zhao Han had witnessed and experienced all kinds of things. He quickly realized something and looked at the boundless mountains beneath him. He felt a strange, formless, and intangible energy gathering toward Zu An’s body and remarked, “No wonder you chose this place to be your battlefield. So it was to use this mountain range’s power.”
“Your majesty is brilliant, as expected,” Zu An said. He had used One Drop of Heaven’s Essence to gather the power of this dragon range. With that, he had confidence in a frontal clash.
“Even so, in the end, you aren’t a true earth immortal, so just how much longer will you be able to hold on even if you borrow this power?” Zhao Han retorted, not feeling any fear at all. The difference in cultivation ranks was still there. Whether in terms of the use of power or combat techniques, the two of them weren’t on the same level.
His primordial spirit temporarily withdrew into his head. He planned to stall for some time first, not giving Zu An the chance to fight a decisive battle. Once the power Zu An accumulated weakened, he would then use that chance to attack.
Zu An naturally saw through Zhao Han’s plans and didn’t give him the chance to escape. Ripples of power suddenly appeared in the air behind him. He had already refined practically all of his weapons into his Blue Luan Sword Formation. Together with the Rune Weapon Chart, even more sword energy materialized.
He really wanted to create some Dongfeng Missiles the way he had done back in the Xia Dynasty secret dungeon and purge the world with nuclear might, but even though this world’s foundation was a bit stronger than the Great Zhou Dynasty’s, there was a limit. The density of natural ki in it wouldn’t necessarily be able to support such terrifying consumption.
As for the power of the gatling, it likely wouldn’t even be as strong as the sword formation he had now fully refined.
“This skill of yours…” Zhao Han muttered, his expression changing. This attack left even him a bit shaken. He couldn't understand just how even though this guy was clearly incredibly weak, he managed to have so many ridiculous skills!
His reason told him that he had to first leave this place and return once this power disappeared. However, because of the continuous provocations, there was a voice in his head telling him ‘kill, kill that little bastard!’
He was worried that Zu An would run if he left now, so in the end, he chose to remain.
…
The weapons in the sky had already completely formed. Streak after streak of light carrying incomparably sharp sword ki fired outward.
Zhao Han harrumphed. “Insignificant skill!”
The Human Emperor Seal appeared, blocking the most powerful of them, the Tai’e Sword.
Then, the primordial spirit above him suddenly became larger. It brandished its giant fist at the remaining weapons. They were nothing more than some heaven-grade weapons. Even when added up together, just how strong could they be?
Soon after, a large group of weapons shattered under the fist of the golden giant. Even though some of them slipped past, they weren’t able to do much when they landed on the primordial spirit’s body.
Zhao Han said with a sneer, “You haven’t reached the level of having a primordial spirit, so you do not understand how strong it is. How could your weapons possibly injure…”
Midway through his sentence, he screamed in shock, “What… What is this?”
Several ordinary-looking throwing knives passed straight through his primordial spirit. They didn’t disappear like the other weapons before it; instead, they flew out from behind it. Then, the knives sliced back and forth a few times. Streak after streak, wounds appeared in that golden primordial spirit. Wherever they passed, they carried a piece of that golden giant’s ‘flesh’ with them.
Zhao Han screamed miserably. The golden giant swiftly returned into his body. He stared at the unremarkable throwing knives with horror.
The knives spun a few more times in the air, but when they saw that there was no target, they vibrated audibly, as if they were a bit unhappy that their target had disappeared.
Zu An was stunned. These were the Immortal Beheading Knives that he had inadvertently picked up in the past. He had collected five of them in total, but he had never found much use for them. Since he needed all sorts of weapons to add to his Blue Luan Formation, and since sword formations benefited from quantity, he had decided to just refine them all. He had never expected these ordinary-seeming knives to actually be able to wound the primordial spirit!
He was only briefly stunned. How could he let such an opportunity go? The Rune Weapon Chart condensed even more weapons, and before Zhao Han even had a chance to catch his breath, endless weapons poured down like a storm, instantly swallowing him up within.
