Chapter 862 - 766: Duel with Hui Taoist (Part 2)

"Just this once, stay here obediently and put away your skills for escaping early."

There were already a lot of people near Qingtian Mountain, coming and going, with representatives from various sects of the Southern Heaven Continent present.

Ever since You Wanying summoned the dense poison fog, the attention of everyone at Qingtian Mountain had been drawn over.

Many people came to Qingtian Mountain and ended up empty-handed, without obtaining anything valuable, leaving them somewhat bored.

An event of such magnitude unfolding before their eyes naturally attracted countless gazes immediately.

The enmity between You Wanying and Shen Han was known to many.

They just didn’t expect to witness it here.

"Retreat, stand behind me."

The situation before them drew everyone’s attention, yet the strong figures of various sects were busily pushing their younger ranks backward.

You Wanying’s poison fog—if these young ones even touched it, they might damage their foundation.

Even if they wanted to watch the spectacle, they had to keep a safe distance.

At this moment, Hui Taoist already had a long sword in his hand.

The blade was covered in rust, completely detached from the word "sharp."

But when held in his hand, it carried an indescribable majesty.

Even the strong ones from the Illusion Realm watching from afar looked serious.

The other young people only felt a chilling aura, making their bodies a bit cold.

How could the younger generation contend with a strong person from the Illusion Realm...

Hui Taoist hadn’t moved yet.

In a sudden motion, Dean Boliang intervened, manifesting a giant tower-shaped magical artifact in his hand.

He directly encompassed the young people of Five Immortals City within the tower.

The sudden scene left You Wanying momentarily stunned.

This grand tower was King Boliang’s core magical artifact, something You Wanying had heard of.

She always thought this tower would definitely be used against her in combat.

But never imagined it could have such capabilities.

Besides suppressing enemies, it could also protect others.

The giant tower landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Without any hesitation, Dean Boliang directly charged at You Wanying.

Even within the Illusion Realm, there were differences, and Dean Boliang’s strength was outstanding among them.

"Act, taking his life is also an option!"

You Wanying looked serious, the situation was beyond her expectations.

However, she still did not believe her action would fail this time.

She only needed to hold off Dean Boliang, and success was certain!

The poison fog that had just surrounded everyone instantly encircled You Wanying.

And the spear in her hand did not hesitate, thrusting straight at Dean Boliang.

Those from Tiger Peak Manor always used techniques accompanied by poison skills.

You Wanying’s raw strength was quite ordinary, but whoever clashed with her had to constantly fend off the intrusion of the poison fog.

This combination of offensive and defensive power elevated You Wanying’s combat ability to a higher level.

Hui Taoist brandished his duster, the fine hairs spreading instantly.

They aligned like a dense array of needles, encircling Shen Han within.

The rust-covered long sword in Hui Taoist’s hand exuded even more authority.

Clearly just a piece of scrap metal, yet others dared not underestimate it even a bit.

"Young friend, with your ruthless temperament, you took the lives of three children.

Do you harbor any regret in your heart today?"

Hui Taoist did not seem hurried, even though You Wanying was already in decline, Hui Taoist seemed unworried.

"Those who died at their hands surely outnumber those who perished by mine.

In terms of ruthless temperament, few on earth can compare to those from Tiger Peak Manor.

Moreover, You Wanying harmed my family and friends, causing the demise of many on Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion.

Her three disciples also used poison to kill countless people.

Those on Southern Heaven Continent who wish for their death far exceed those who want mine.

My actions against them seem rather righteous, do they not?"

Shen Han’s rebuttal was eloquent and well-reasoned.

Yet, Hui Taoist remained with an air of superiority.

"The ones who died at their hands merely wandered through this world, passing through it casually.

To them, dying at the hands of the strong is an honor for a lifetime.

If they had spirits in heaven, they would tell you they died without regret."

Shen Han chuckled softly, a long sword appearing in his hand, a glint of desperate intent in his eyes.

"Have you drawn your weapon?

Not bad, let me observe closely, how formidable this young one who can harm Wanying actually is.

Moreover, if you happen to die today, convey Hui Taoist’s and Wanying’s thoughts to those three children when you meet.

Your remorse should be thoroughly expressed to them."

With those words, the surroundings seemed to grow colder.

Hui Taoist’s eyes were indifferent as he thrust his sword towards Shen Han.

Perhaps fearing a single strike would end Shen Han’s life, Hui Taoist’s sword edge even slightly angled aside, avoiding Shen Han’s vital area.

"This child is likely to suffer some torment..."

In the distance, strong figures from other sects couldn’t help but sigh.

They could naturally see through Hui Taoist’s intentions.

And the younger ones behind them furrowed their brows tightly.

"If I were to encounter this, I’d rather take my life than endure their torment..."

"This Hui Taoist is so close to You Wanying, he might also know some poison skills.

If wounded, who knows how severe it will be..."

The onlookers all unconsciously furrowed their brows.

In their eyes, Shen Han was not just unlikely to survive this situation, but was destined to die.

They had all heard that Shen Han once attempted to assassinate You Wanying.

But that was a sneak attack, a strike when You Wanying was unprepared.

Now, however, Shen Han must face Hui Taoist head-on.

"Hui Taoist’s strength might already match that of Five Immortals City’s Dean Boliang.

Much stronger than You Wanying by far.

Even within the Illusion Realm, there’s still a gap among them.

For such a young man..."

The surrounding spectators discussed as if they had already foreseen the outcome.

But in the next moment, Shen Han directly met the strike with his long sword.

From the others’ perspective, if Shen Han dared to take on a strike from an Illusion Realm expert, his body might be shaken and injured.

An Illusion Realm expert could invoke powerful Heaven and Earth’s Momentum, and under such a gap in realms, one was supposed to have no strength to resist.

Yet before them, Shen Han not only took the strike.

His sword edge slashed forward fiercely.

The sharp sword blade exuded a chilling air, seemingly inflicting harm with the slightest touch.

Even Hui Taoist hadn’t anticipated Shen Han could withstand his strike and retaliate.

The prior indifferent expression now slightly retracted, showing a bit more seriousness.

His body flickered as he defended against Shen Han’s attack.

At this moment, Shen Han wielded the Void-Breaking Longsword.

The Heaven and Earth’s Momentum summoned by Hui Taoist was entirely dissipated by this immortal’s sword.

Sword blades collided, emitting a loud clamor that echoed in all directions.

The bystanders near Qingtian Mountain were left speechless in shock.

Their eyes were glued to the scene, not daring to miss a moment.

Shen Han could actually fight back and was contending with Hui Taoist!

The previously rust-covered long sword had seemed rather exceptional, even imbued with a sense of high expertise.

After all, a sword wielded by an Illusion Realm expert, rusty or not, ought to be exceptional.

But now, this long sword began to show cracks.

In the next moment, the rust-covered blade abruptly broke apart.

Pretending as an expert, wielding a rusted sword for combat.

Even with his Illusion Realm powers, the sword was still severed...

The crisp sound caught the attention of Dean Boliang and You Wanying, both turning to look.

"Hui Taoist! Stop wasting time, finish him immediately!"

Hearing You Wanying’s voice, Hui Taoist’s expression grew even more grave.

Another long sword appeared in his hand, this time, the blade no longer had any rust.

The silver gleam attested to the sword’s extraordinary nature.

The fine hairs of the duster around him also intertwined, attacking Shen Han.

Hui Taoist no longer harbored the previous contempt; his techniques now carried a sharper edge of killing intent.

Shen Han’s counterattack had indeed taken him by surprise.

Those attack techniques were clearly of Rainbow-Devouring Realm strength.

Yet Hui Taoist sensed that when confronting Shen Han, his techniques also felt somewhat suppressed...
