Chapter 74 - Desperate Battle, Sword Scripture Mutation

Feeling the lethal aura coming off Gu Han, the three men’s faces darkened. Somewhere deep down, they knew Gu Han could already contend with any of them.

The few men were horrified, unable to comprehend anything.

Can a mere Acupoint Unsealing realm cultivator really achieve this?

Gu Han took advantage of their stunned pause and launched his attack. “Go to hell!”

He swung his sword, leaving a bloody afterimage in his place as he vanished. His target was clearly Jiang Hong. After all, he understood he could only rattle Yu Hua and the others by capturing Jiang Hong, ultimately resolving the deadly situation.

Yu Hua was greatly shocked. “Your Highness!”

He never expected Gu Han’s mind could still be so clear in such a desperate situation, seizing their vital spot. If anything happened to Jiang Hong, then even dragging Gu Han back wouldn’t spare them from severe punishment.

“How dare you!!!” Yu Hua roared furiously, his cultivation instantly surging to its peak. Stomping heavily, he rushed toward Jiang Hong’s side, leaving a deep pit over ten feet wide.

Gu Han and Yu Hua could instantly cover the distance. However, Yu Hua was extremely close to Jiang Hong, and arrived a step ahead of Gu Han.

Gu Han secretly sighed in his heart.

So close! Well, since I can’t capture him, then I’ll kill him.

The blood mist around Gu Han thickened more. Then, he slashed toward Yu Hua with all his might. Yu Hua’s expression became grave. He didn’t think he could win at all!

An instant later, the blade veered off its path toward Yu Hua and swung back toward Jiang Hong. A flash of light passed, and nine strands of the Great Evolution Sword Qi shot towards Jiang Hong.

Yu Hua’s eyes nearly burst with rage. “Damn it!!! You deserve to die!”

As Gu Han was enhanced by the Blood Spirit Art, the Great Evolution Sword Qi was much faster than usual, even containing a trace of savagery.

In an instant, the sword qi had arrived in front of Jiang Hong. He stayed rooted in place, the strike not yet registering in his mind. Yu Hua gritted his teeth and reversed his posture, pushing Jiang Hong’s shoulder at the last second.

Even so, two strands of sword qi still struck Jiang Hong, piercing straight through his chest. Intense pain spread, and only then did Jiang Hong come to his senses. He stared incredulously at the two fist-sized wounds on his chest. He parted his lips to speak, but blood burst out instead, sending him reeling. One slash and he almost departed this world.

Yu Hua was seeing red and struck Gu Han with his palm. “I’m going to fucking kill you!”

The strike caught Gu Han square in the chest, throwing him back. Having poured everything into his final blow, his spirit power faltered instantly.

“Kill him...

cough

cough

! Kill... kill him!” Jiang Hong stammered.

Jiang Hong was furious to the extreme, his eyes dripping with venomous hatred. What enraged him wasn’t the wound—it was that, for a moment, he’d actually felt afraid of Gu Han. He simply couldn’t accept that!

Then, Jiang Hong turned to Jiang Yi and Chen Fang. “And you two, chase after the Seventh Prince. Bring him back to me!”

Jiang Feng had already run far away, almost leaving everyone’s line of sight.

“Don’t kill him yet. His technique—

cough

cough

—is at least Earth tier or above! I want to extract it!”

Jiang Yi’s heart stirred. “Understood!”

An Earth-tier technique was a huge temptation even for them.

Gu Han spat out a mouthful of blood and glared fiercely at the fatty. “Damn Fatty! What are you standing there for! If you don’t want to die, stop holding back! Fight for your life with me!”

The fatty hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth. “I... Damn it! Let’s do it! Anyway, there’s no hiding from it now!”

A layer of golden light suddenly covered Fatty, growing thicker and thicker until it even obscured his face.

Jiang Yi blurted out. “That’s impossible!”

Although Fatty’s aura was also extremely powerful, it wasn’t as eye-catching as Gu Han’s. However, that mysterious golden light gave Jiang Yi a feeling of extreme difficulty, something that was impossible to beat.

First Gu Han, then the fatty. They had given them too many shocks and surprises. What had once been a near-certain objective now carried a hint of uncertainty.

Gu Han spat out another mouthful of blood. “Fatty, you hold those two off, I will kill Yu Hua first.”

The fatty’s face turned pale. “Are you kidding me?!

Two

?! I might as well just hold off all three of them then!”

Gu Han shook his head. “You’re good at defense! My killing power is great, only by doing this do we have a sliver of a chance to win.”

The fatty fell silent because he understood that Gu Han was telling the truth.

Fatty took a deep breath. “Fine! I’ll buy you time. Remember, I can only hold on temporarily. If you can’t take him down, we’re done for.”

“Got it.” Gu Han’s sword lit up with a blood-red glow again. Without hesitation, he charged toward Yu Hua. In truth, Gu Han’s Blood Spirit Art could only last for half a minute.

The ferocity in the fatty’s heart was completely ignited, replacing the timidity from before. Blazing with golden light, he charged toward Jiang Yi. “Bring it on! I’m right here! Come and get a piece of this if you have the guts!”

Jiang Yi was enraged. He gathered his full strength, and slammed a palm onto Fatty. However, Fatty’s golden light only flickered a few times, showing no signs of breaking at all.

Upon seeing that the fatty only had strong defense and lacked Gu Han’s killing power, Chen Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “You hold him off! I’ll go chase—”

“Chase your ass—c

ough... cough...

” The fatty turned around, staring dead into Chen Fang’s eyes, before vomiting large mouthfuls of blood. A second later, his golden light thickened by another layer. “You want to chase him? You have to get past me first!”

Fatty had completely transformed into a golden afterimage. Spreading his arms wide, he charged toward Chen Fang again. “I’m going to kill you!”

Jiang Yi couldn’t miss the opportunity. He struck him with palm after palm.

The fatty cried out in pain. “Fuck! If I don’t kill you two today, I won’t be surnamed Fu—

AAAH!

It hurts so much!!! Can you fucking hurry up??? I really can’t hold on much longer!”

Not far away, Gu Han and Yu Hua were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand. The more Yu Hua fought, the more alarmed he became.

Gu Han was clearly more injured, yet his attacks were becoming more ferocious. Yu Hua went from suppressing Gu Han to being suppressed by him. Furthermore, the sharpness of Gu Han’s broken sword far exceeded his imagination. Having two of his low-grade treasure items destroyed by Gu Han’s sword made Yu Hua increasingly anxious.

In contrast, the madness in Gu Han’s eyes grew increasingly intense. The blood mist around him thickened. Waves of unbearable pain surged through him, eroding his foundation—a consequence of pushing himself too far. Yet, Gu Han could no longer care about that.

I have to kill Yu Hua!

That was his only thought at this moment. When he struck, he no longer hesitated, even outright abandoning defense, using only moves that traded injury for injury, life for life.

Jiang Hong, Liu Tong, and Liu Ying were left idle. After seeing Yu Hua and the others hold up, Jiang Hong became somewhat anxious. If Jiang Feng escaped, the consequences would be far too great.

Jiang Hong gritted his teeth and turned to Liu Tong and Liu Ying. “Go chase after him! Capture him alive if possible, if not then kill him!”

Liu Tong was excited. “Understood! Cousin, rest assured! His injuries are not light, he can’t run far. With me and Liu Ying’s combined efforts, we will definitely bring him back.”

Liu Ying didn’t say anything, but she didn’t refuse Jiang Hong’s request either.

Gu Han’s voice, full of overwhelming fury, came over. “Liu Ying, if you dare attack him, you better make sure I’m dead, or I’ll exterminate the entire Liu family!”

Liu Ying’s face turned pale.

Liu Tong sneered incessantly. “Liu Ying, don’t listen to him! He’s a dying man, barely hanging on. Let’s go!”

Liu Ying nodded lightly and instantly sped away with Liu Tong.

Gu Han’s eyes turned red. “Fuck!”

He understood that if Jiang Feng died, the token would inevitably be lost. And without it, Ah Sha’s life would be difficult to guarantee.

His eyes gradually became shrouded by a layer of blood mist.

Kill! Kill! Kill Yu Hua! Kill Jiang Hong! Kill Liu Ying! Kill everyone present! Only if they died could Ah Sha survive!

He seemed like an absolute madman. “All of you deserve to die!”

Everyone faintly felt a piercing, bone-chilling coldness.

***

Within the consciousness space.

As usual, the mention of Gu Han made the black shadow furious, especially after the man had stabbed dozens of holes in him last time.

“Bastard kid! Didn’t die, did he! What’s with the huge temper! Damn it! I was originally just a remnant soul, now I’ve lost so much soul power, how am I supposed to replenish it?! Just wait and see... I swear that I will definitely kill you—

huh?

” He secretly gritted his teeth, but then his expression changed. “What... what is this feeling... Such heavy killing intent!”

A wash of red slowly spread through Gu Han’s subspace, even tinting the sword cage a few shades brighter.

The shadow seemed astonished. “

Tsk tsk.

Kid, where did such great killing intent come from? Could it be that he’s surrounded and about to die?

HAHAHA,

hurry up and die! Once you’re dead, I’ll be free!”

Naturally, he could not see what’s going on.

Meanwhile, the golden book formed by the Great Evolution Sword Scripture also underwent a mutation. As if sensing Gu Han’s thoughts, the blurred text behind the general outline suddenly became clear. With a light tremor, it turned into points of golden light. Then, it vanished into the consciousness space without a trace.

Next to this passage of scripture, two large, glittering golden words flashed past and disappeared. It was “Kill Sword.”
