Chapter 498 Astonishment
When Ye Longyuan was gathering energy and preparing to advance to a higher stage, Zhang Han, who totally ignored his opponent, waved his hand to summon Fang Hanâs axe and storage bracelet, and then collected the axe into his own Space Ring.
After scanning the space bracelet with his soul sense, Zhang Han felt excited and his eyes lit up.
There were quite a lot of treasures in it.
He found seven kinds of third-stage spirit treasures, more than 30 kinds of second-stage spirit treasures, and more than 100 kinds of first-stage spirit treasures.
âAre all the disciples from the worldlet as rich as him?â
Zhang Han turned his gaze toward the dozens of martial artists following Ye Longyuan.
He was looking at them in a weird manner, which made them feel numb.
âWhat did he mean?â
Ye Longyuan had gathered as much energy as he could, and then he slowly flew upward.
A martial artist at the Divine Realm could be called a land immortal.
They could fly in the sky or travel underground with all kinds of amazing methods.
The Grand Master Peak stage was just one step below the Divine Realm, and martial artists at the Grand Master Peak stage could also fly through the sky during a battle.
âZhang Hanyang, you are forcing me to show my real strength! This is enough for you to be proud of!â
Ye Longyuan was levitating in the air 20 meters above Nan Xing Lake, staring at Zhang Han with shining eyes. His voice was like thunder.
He looked like the God of War!
âStart your show, please,â Zhang Han replied in a calm voice. Then he turned around, gave the serene world stone to Wang Zhanpeng, and asked the latter to keep it for him.
His efficiency would be affected with such a large stone in his hand.
Everyoneâs face changed again when they heard Zhang Hanâs words.
âStart your show?â
âWhat did he mean?â
âHe thinks Ye Longyuan is acting?â
âIs he enjoying a monkey show being performed by Ye Longyuan?â
âEven Emperor Qing dared not provoke Ye Longyuan when they encountered each other.â
âNo wonder he is called Merciless Zhang.â
Many martial artists at present admired Zhang Han, not only for his strength, but also for his character and confidence, which couldnât be seen in normal people.
Seeing what had happened, both Shi Fenghou and Mu Xue stepped back more than 10 meters, leaving more space for Ye Longyuan and Zhang Han to fight. Besides, they were looking for opportunities to grab Wang Zhanpengâs serene world stone!
âHaha, haha, haha!â Ye Longyuan burst out laughing as if he was amused by Zhang Hanâs words. Although there was no wind, his clothes were fluttering wildly under the influence of his Qi.
All of a sudden, his eyes began glittering with gold as he made a casting gesture.
âSoul Suppressing Golden Tripod!â
As Ye Longyuan crossed his hands, suddenly a 10-meter-tall golden tripod appeared in the sky between him and Zhang Han.
âZoom!â
A great deal of soul energy emerged from the illusory image of the golden tripod and spread around.
This was an indiscriminate attack!
âChant of Bloody Ghost!â
As Ye Longyuan extended his hands, two clouds of black smoke swept toward Zhang Han, accompanied by the roar of Yin soul.
These two simultaneous attacks complemented each other, both of which were the secret techniques of the Lihun Sect for dealing with souls.
Normal martial artists would have found it difficult to resist these two attacks.
However, Zhang Han, who had greatly strengthened his soul sense, felt that Ye Longyuan was playing games with him
After making two strikes at Zhang Han, Ye Longyuan rushed at his opponent.
Though he was not as fast as Shi Fenghou, his speed was enough for him to launch another round of attack.
âQing Ming Seal!â
Facing the two soul attacks, Zhang Han exerted the Qing Ming Steal.
âZoom!â
The two attacks were shattered by the horrible power of the Qing Ming Seal.
Ye Longyuan frowned.
âIs the strengthened soul attack still useless?
âThis guy seemed to be good at dealing with soul attacks.
âBut the soul attack is just my auxiliary skill!â
âDragon Eagle Grasp!â
When he approached Zhang Han, Ye Longyuan extended his hands and thrust at his opponent.
His hands turned into sharp claws and attacked Zhang Han at lightning speed.
They were as sharp as Earth-grade blades!
Zhang Han remained calm in the face of Ye Longyuan.
After thinking for a while, he clenched his fist and pushed it forward.
âMountain Shaking Fist!â
An illusory image in the shape of a cyan fist separated from Zhang Hanâs right hand and flew at Ye Longyuan.
âSlam!â
The two attacks collided.
There was a strong wind on the lake along with the loud crash, and the water under the feet of the two fighters was forced to both sides by great force, just like Moses parted the sea, exposing a large area of mud on the bottom of the lake. Meanwhile, the remaining energy was still spreading around with the rolling waves, which shocked the crowd on the shore.
Everyone widened their eyes!
There was no doubt that this was a fight between talents.
But what happened in the next moment made many people gasp in fear.
They saw Zhang Hanâs fist image break Ye Longyuanâs Dragon Eagle claw and then continue to strike at Ye Longyuan.
âGolden Armor!â Ye Longyuan shouted.
âClatter! Clatter! Clatter!â
Layers of golden scales began to wrap around his body, and finally formed a strong armor, making him look like a general from ancient times!
âBoom!â
When the image of Zhang Hanâs fist hit the Golden Armor, its energy was absorbed by the armor and Ye Longyuan was not affected at all.
Zhang Han raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
The Golden Armor was obviously sacred-stage protective clothing.
Almost every core disciple from the worldlet possessed a sacred weapon, and they seemed to be much richer than those in the martial arts world.
Zhang Han looked at Ye Longyuan in a weirder manner.
No, he actually fixed his gaze on Ye Longyuanâs Golden Armor!
âSacred weapons and clothes are also valuable in the worldletâŠâ
Zhang Han was thinking about how to make the Golden Armor his own.
âBut Ye Longyuan is powerful, and it is much more difficult to kill him than to defeat him.â
âHahaha, Zhang Hanyang, you are pretty good. But you are still far from the Divine Realm stage!â Ye Longyuan laughed, and then rushed at Zhang Han again.
âInvisible Wind Palm!â
Countless translucent palms began attacking Zhang Han from all directions.
âZoom!â
As Zhang Han raised his right hand, a light barrier appeared in front of him.
âBang, bang, bang, bang!â
While resisting Ye Longyuanâs attack, Zhang Han was still planning to rob him of his Golden Armor.
10 seconds laterâŠ
Zhang Han came up with a good idea.
âI need the help of illusion to get his Golden Armor.
âIllusionâŠ
âLuckily, my soul sense has been enhanced.
âBut I still need some preparations.â
Zhang Han soon made a complete and thorough plan.
After making up his mind, Zhang Han stopped resisting Ye Longyuanâs attack.
âIâm going to break your defense!â Ye Longyuan roared and was about to attack Zhang Han in a more cruel way.
âZhang Hanyangâs defense must be broken by this blow. Iâm afraid he will be injured!â Shi Fenghou narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
âWill he lose the competition before I challenge him?â Mu Xue sneered at Zhang Han.
In their opinion, Ye Longyuan would surely defeat Zhang Hanyang with all his strength.
In their original prediction, Ye Longyuan would defeat Zhang Han in three moves. They didnât expect Zhang Han to resist 10 of his moves!
Not only the disciples from the worldlet were shocked.
Even Mo Chengfengâs expression slightly changed.
The strength of Ye Longyuanâs attack had exceeded all previous ones.
âYe Longyuan, the Devil Incarnate. He deserves the reputation he enjoys! Letâs wait and see if Grand Master Zhang can survive this attack.â
Mo Chengfeng held his breath and watched the battle carefully.
Just when he was hit by the ideaâŠ
All of a suddenâŠ
âPuff!â
Under everyoneâs gaze, Zhang Hanâs protective cover seemed to be punctured like a bubble.
âHis defense is broken!â
âThen he will face Ye Longyuanâs attack!â
That was what almost everyone thought.
HoweverâŠ
âHahaha, Blood Dissolving Palm!â Ye Longyuan broke into demented laughter and prepared the last attack with his hands.
Right at this moment, he heard Zhang Hanâs voice.
âStop showing off such a funny move.â
âWhoosh!â
Ye Longyuanâs Blood Dissolving Palm flew toward Zhang Han at a high speed.
Zhang Han stood still.
Then he was hit by the half-meter-tall red palm.
âYe Longyuan hit Zhang Han!â
Everyoneâs heart skipped a beat.
Wang Zhanpeng was the most nervous, with his eyes widened and his body trembling.
âHe must be OK!â
In many peopleâs eyes, Zhang Han had been pretending to be calm and confident.
But what happened next surprised them!
âBang!â
A thunderous sound came from Ye Longyuanâs chest.
âSwish!â
Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Longyuan.
When they heard the sound, Zhang Han had appeared in front of Ye Longyuan.
Zhang Hanâs image, which was hit by Ye Longyuan before, was slowly disappearing.
âImage?
âMy gosh! How could he go there?â
Even Ye Longyuan was surprised and frightened.
âHow fast was he?
âOr was it a secret skill?â
Ye Longyuan was not injured by Zhang Hanâs punch, he just felt a little of its vibration.
His Golden Armor, the sacred clothes, was not just a decoration!
When Ye Longyuan gathered his spiritual force and was about to attack Zhang HanâŠ
âZoom!â
Two small golden marks were formed in front of his eyes, which were very dazzling.
He was dazed by their light.
At that momentâŠ
Under everyoneâs gazeâŠ
Zhang Hanâs figure constantly flickered in front of Ye Longyuan. Every time he flickered, he would make a move.
Front punch, side kick, lateral palmâŠ
âBang, bang, bangâŠâ
All the crowd heard was a dense muffled sound.
Ye Longyuan was beaten back dozens of meters.
As the Devil Incarnate, Ye Longyuan had never expected that he would be beaten like this one day.
If they hadnât seen it with their own eyes, the crowd watching the war wouldnât have believed what had happened.
âItâs of no use. You will only irritate him with this.â Mu Xue shook her head slightly.
With the help of Golden Armor, the sacred clothes, Ye Longyuan was able to block all the attacks like this.
However, when Zhang Han attacked Ye Longyuan, his eyes were shining with a light of various colors, which formed a lot of patterns around Ye Longyuanâs Golden Armor.
He was making preparation for the special illusions for Ye Longyuan.
Mu Xue and Shi Fenghou turned their gaze to Wang Zhanpeng and were about to take action.
In the next moment, Ye Longyuan was kicked 30 meters away with a loud noise.
Zhang Han flashed back to 10 meters in front of Wang Zhanpeng and again levitated in the air, astonishing everyone watching the battle.
Ye Longyuan had recovered from the shock and shouted at Zhang Han, âZhang Hanyang, I must kill you!â
âYouâd better take a rest first. Zhang Hanyang, I said thatâŠâ
Shi Fenghouâs wings suddenly extended as he began to gather his strength in order to attack Zhang Han.
However, before he finished speakingâŠ
âWhoosh!â
Shi Houfeng saw Zhang Han moving.
âIs he going to attack me?â
All of a suddenâŠ
The bodies of the five disciples standing behind Shi Fenghou exploded into a bloody mist.
Their storage treasures fell to the ground.
The next secondâŠ
A flash of light rushed toward the disciples from the worldlet who were standing on the right side.
âBang, bang, bangâŠâ
The light was moving at an extremely high speed, leaving only a bloody mist wherever it passed.
This light, like the call of death, took the lives of 16 people.
âSwish!â
Zhang Han returned to his original position as if he had never left.
But the 16 missing disciples from the worldlet and the storage treasures in Zhang Hanâs hand made most peopleâs face change.
âHow was that possible?â
âHe turned into a flash of light and killed so many people!â
âMy gosh, I didnât see his action clearly.â
ââŠâ
Everyone on the shore was discussing it with each other in astonishment and fear.
Even Mo Chengfeng widened his eyes and said, âSo fast, thisâŠâ
Then he took a glance at Shi Fenghou.
He was wondering who was faster, Zhang Han or Shi Fenghou?
âZhang Hanyang, I shouldnât underestimate you!â
Shi Fenghou raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice, âThough you are fast, you rely on magic and canât move quietly. Iâll show you a real speed that is faster than sound.â
âBang!â
Shi Fenghou flashed at Zhang Han like lightning.
Zhang Han took a glance at Ye Longyuan before making a move. As he made a casting gesture with his right hand, there were several points on Ye Longyuanâs Golden Armor that started to glow.
âGo to hell!â Ye Longyuan suddenly roared.
âSoul Separating Demon Eyes!â
A light burst out from Ye Longyuanâs eyes.
The light was so fast that no one could see it clearly.
It soon approached Zhang Han, but⊠it seemed to be five meters off target.
The light passed by Zhang Han and rushed toward his left side.
Shi Fenghou was there!
âBoom!â
A crackling sound came out.
Shi Fenghou retreated quickly because he had borne all the attacking power of Ye Longyuan!
Two energy feathers slowly fell from the wings of Shi Fenghou.
âYe Longyuan, are you crazy?â Shi Fenghou widened his eyes and roared in disbelief.
âDammit! Are you helping Zhang Hanyang?â
However, Ye Longyuan didnât even give Shi Fenghou a glance.
He had mistaken Shi Fenghou for Zhang Hanyang and was convinced that Zhang Hanyang had been killed by him.
He was quite happy to see through Zhang Hanâs illusions. If he had paid more attention to the surroundings, he would have discovered the truth.
But at this moment, he was completely immersed in the joy of victory.
He had never expected it to be Zhang Hanâs illusions.
He didnât know that the illusions could be exerted in such a covert way!
âHahaha!â Ye Longyuan laughed and took five steps forward, covering more than 30 meters. âZhang Hanyang is just so-so!â he said proudly.
After Ye Longyuan finished his sentence, everyone was dumbfounded.
âWhat did he say?â
âZhang Hanyang is now 30 meters away from him.â
âIs he talking in his sleep?â
âI thought you could resist at least one of my secret skills, but you didnât even survive the Soul Separating Demon EyesâŠâ Ye Longyuan withdrew the Golden Armor while talking to himself.
The whole Golden Armor turned into a small golden ball in his right hand.
This was the original state of the Golden Armor.
When the Golden Armor was about to be returned to Ye Longyuanâs bodyâŠ
âSwish!â
He felt nothing in his hand.
The armor was gone!
âHmm?â
Ye Longyuan frowned, raised his right hand, and checked it. He saw the familiar seal of Golden Armor, but the Golden Armor had disappeared.
He hurriedly raised his head to look around and was suddenly stunned.
âSoul Purifying Skill!â
He made a casting gesture with his right hand.
There was a flash of light in his eyes.
He suddenly found that what he saw now was different from what he had seen before.
âIllusions?
âZhang Hanyang, youâŠâ
The first time he realized that he had been enchanted, he was shocked!
But he was so irritated when he saw Zhang Han playing with his Golden Armor.
But he hesitated and didnât rush at Zhang Han immediately.
Because he was confused by Zhang Hanâs action.
Shi Fenghouâs faze also froze. He stood still and didnât make any more moves.
âHow does he know so many moves?
âIs he⊠a disciple from the Black White Palace who was sent out to see the world?â
Shi Fenghouâs heart skipped a beat.
âIf my guess is confirmed, we canât fight against Zhang Han anymore.
âYe Longyuan, Mu Xue, and I had been suppressing our strength for more than three years and waiting for a chance to come back to our own sects. Otherwise, we would have already advanced to the Divine Realm, and I would have obtained the serene world stone and defeated Zhang Hanyang.
âIs he in the Divine Realm or not? Is he suppressing his strength like us?â
These questions came to Shi Fenghouâs mind, and he decided to wait and see.
âZhangâŠâ Ye Longyuan frowned and was about to say something.
Zhang Han smiled, stopped appreciating Ye Longyuanâs Golden Armor, and said, âIâve been waiting for you.â
The next secondâŠ
Zhang Han extended his right hand behind him.
âSoul Sealing Skill!â
âDark Sea Seal!â
âSoul Suppressing Skill!â
Zhang Han gathered the remaining half of his spiritual force and poured all of his soul sense out.
He made three magic seals.
âClatter, clatter!â
A black sword reached five meters from Wang Zhanpeng silently, who didnât notice the attack at all.
It was Mu Xueâs sneak attack!
However, the Demon Dancing Sword was forced to stop.
It was surrounded by a wave of translucent blue light.
Under everyoneâs gaze, the light wave wrapped around the Demon Dancing Sword and slowly took it to Zhang Han.
âCome back!â Mu Xueâs face changed. She made a casting gesture with her right hand to control the Demon Dancing Sword, which began shaking under the two opposing forces.
âStop struggling.â Zhang Han waved his hand.
Mu Xue saw a flash of light.
Then she couldnât feel or contact the Demon Dancing Sword anymore.
It was as if the Demon Dancing Sword was too far away from her or was now in another world.
But it was right in front of her!
At this momentâŠ
Many people around were stunned.
Someone even said in surprise as if they had just gotten back their tongues, âZhang Hanyang, heâŠ
âIs he robbing them of their treasures?â
When the voice was heard, Zhang Han was appreciating the Golden Armor and the Demon Dancing Sword in his hands.
All the people present burst into an uproar after seeing this.
They had never expected Zhang Han to be so powerful.
He had not only challenged the talents from the worldlet but had also robbed them of their treasures.
After fighting against the three talents, he obtained two sacred weapons from them.
They wouldnât have believed it if they hadnât seen it with their own eyes.
They saw Zhang Han smiling.
They saw his cheerful countenance.
And the storage treasures in his hands.
Many people were stunned again.
âNo wonder he is called Merciless Zhang! He is amazing!â Ma Di and Junior Brother Lu were excited.
They admired Zhang Han even more.
âWhat a powerful man!â
Lots of martial artists on the shore were astonished by Zhang Hanâs performance.
Ye Longyuan, Shi Fenghou, Mu Xue, and other disciples from the worldlet were also surprised.
They all felt the special power of Zhang Hanâs soul sense.
âYouâŠâ
Mu Xue calmed down and asked slowly, âAre you from the Black White Palace?â
