Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 517 - 513: Since That’s the Case, Why Doesn’t This Old Man Make the First Move Against You?
With those words spoken, Qingyun seemed truly prepared to leave.
Yet in the next instant, the long sword in Shen Han’s hand thrust forward.
Shen Han’s actions were indeed steady, but this steadiness was the optimal solution after considering the pros and cons.
Right now, this so-called successor of the Immortal Bow Mansion was using a deadly attack against him.
Even having reached such a predicament, her words still carried threats.
It seemed that unless she met her end, he would be plagued by her shadow for life.
Regarding this Qingyun, Shen Han felt no fear.
Her strength was not enough to surpass his own.
However, the ambush with bow techniques was indeed hard to guard against.
Since that’s the case, why not deal with her early on?
If Qingyun doesn’t die, he will face danger.
If she dies, he will still face danger.
Since the result is the same, then she might as well die.
The sword in his hand was already covered with the Power of Laws.
The blade gleamed with a chilling coldness, directly slashing at Qingyun in front of him.
“Wretch, you dare!”
A shout of anger, Huo Yuan seemed to want to force Shen Han to stop.
But even upon hearing the voice, Shen Han’s sword did not show any intention of stopping.
The blade approached Qingyun’s body, merely a hair’s breadth away, when a burst of dazzling light shot forth from her, bouncing Shen Han’s sword away.
This must be some kind of Absolute Grade Magical Artifact for protection.
Qingyun didn’t even anticipate that Shen Han truly dared to strike such a killing blow at her…
“You want to kill me?”
Shen Han ignored her completely, surrounded by Six Paths of the Divine Soul without a hint of hesitation, he thrust at Qingyun once more.
Shen Han did not believe there would be many of such Absolute Grade protective artifacts.
Can she evade one strike, but can she evade the second?
Shen Han’s unexpected killing intent even shocked Huo Yuan.
He already revealed a longbow in his hand.
At this moment, Yu You stood in front of him, blocking him.
“Yu You, my disciple is in trouble, I will never reconcile with you!”
Words of threat, yet Yu You still refused to back down.
On the outskirts of the mountains, in Shen Han’s hand, the sword and Divine Soul.
The attacks poured down like torrential rain, endlessly, making Qingyun’s attempts at evasion extremely difficult.
The most troubling was that whenever Shen Han got close, her body felt a sense of sluggishness, as if her feet were injected with iron, becoming heavy.
Witnessing this scene, everyone around was similarly frightened.
None of them expected such a situation to occur.
Shen Han indeed dared to strike at Qingyun, every move intending to claim her life.
The continuous Sword Techniques being employed, Qingyun obviously could not withstand them.
The sword edge dripped with coldness, this time without giving Huo Yuan any chance to react.
“You dare!!!”
At this moment, Huo Yuan forcibly raised his own strength, ignoring any repercussions of backlash.
In an instant, he drew his bow and released an arrow aimed at Shen Han.
He aimed to force Shen Han to dodge and withdraw his sword.
But even sensing this attacking momentum, Shen Han’s grip on the sword showed no signs of relenting.
The blade simply slashed down.
With the Power of Laws infused upon it, at least resulting in severe injury.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to pause, witnessing Qingyun being struck down by a single sword.
She instinctively raised her hands in defense, but her longbow had already been replaced with some inferior words.
The sword edge sliced through the longbow, and its residual force directly cut towards her hands.
At the same time, the fierce aura from Huo Yuan’s arrow had already arrived.
Unfortunately, Shen Han was surrounded by the power of the Delayed Array.
The fierce aura that rushed in slowed at this moment.
Using the Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step, Shen Han subsequently dodged swiftly.
At this moment, Qingyun’s hands had already been thoroughly injured by the fierce sword edge.
To those who have practiced archery, only they know how vital the hands are.
With her hands compromised, the precision of her arrows would be greatly affected.
What once was a claim of taking lives from a hundred miles away now seemed a mere joke.
“Shen Han, I will kill you! Absolutely!”
Huo Yuan must have already realized the severity of his precious disciple’s injuries.
Uttering harsh words.
But before he finished speaking, Shen Han charged up with his sword again.
If they intended to destroy him.
Since the result is the same, why should he not just obliterate Qingyun?
Without any hesitation, he unleashed another slash.
Huo Yuan no longer had the mind to utter any harsh words, quickly rushing to rescue Qingyun.
This strike was eventually intercepted by Huo Yuan.
The disparity in strength was too great, Shen Han knew this strike would be difficult to succeed.
Upon nearing Shen Han, Huo Yuan seemed to want to launch a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, all this was under Yu You’s watchful eyes, where he easily intercepted it.
Huo Yuan carried Qingyun away, quickly leaving the mountain’s periphery.
Back at the viewing platform, Huo Yuan began to heal Qingyun’s injuries.
Administering a Pill to her, followed by several physicians who approached.
These physicians were arranged by the Qianyang Sect, responsible for the mountain treasure hunt; anyone injured, regardless of who, could receive treatment.
The sword wound was deep, located on the arm.
Qingyun’s face was pale, she must have already estimated her injuries as well.
The recent sword strike had directly cut her wrist.
At this moment, her wrist did not have a sharp pain, but rather a numb feeling.
This feeling is even more terrifying.
Because your body feels that you can no longer endure this terrible pain, and there is no need for the pain to remind you of the injury.
All signs indicate one thing: Qingyun’s injuries are indeed severe.
“Master Huo, this child’s injuries might be quite serious.
It’s very possible that her hands can’t be saved…
It’s best to move her into the tent.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan nodded and immediately had the physicians start treatment.
Huo Yuan himself had not studied healing arts, and he clearly understood that now was not the time to meddle blindly.
The physician mentioned that the hands might not be saved.
This made Huo Yuan’s heart tighten.
If the hands really can’t be saved, this disciple of his will be completely ruined.
Huo Yuan expected he would need to wait for quite a while to get results.
But within less than a quarter of an hour, a physician hurried out.
“Master Huo, we are truly helpless; the injuries are too deep.
Other than renowned physicians, we might really have no way…”
Upon hearing this, Jun Wumo, who had been silent, quickly stepped out.
“I’ll take her for treatment.”
Huo Yuan disliked Jun Wumo, but at this moment, he did not obstruct him.
He allowed Jun Wumo to take Qingyun away.
After the two left, Huo Yuan’s gaze returned.
Looking at Shen Han on the outskirts of the mountain range, his eyes seemed devoid of anger.
Instead of anger, there seemed to be indifference.
The kind of coldness one sees when looking at someone doomed.
Many from the Inner Domain sect watched this scene with great interest.
They hadn’t expected to witness such events during the mountain treasure hunt.
Clearly, this was much more intriguing than the treasure hunt itself.
“Since they’ve left, some matters don’t need to be delayed for later.
The price you must pay should be settled today, hand it over.”
As he spoke, a pitch-black longbow reappeared in his hand.
“Yu You, I, Huo Yuan, can clearly tell you, I will definitely take this one’s life.
If you still wish to protect him, I am willing to risk this life and fight you to the end.
If you dare to stop me, I’ll suffer, but you’ll also lose a layer of skin.”
In the Divine Land, conflicts exist between sects.
Perhaps there will be bloody engagements.
However, within each sect, the intention is to control the situation well.
The one who acts and those who confront each other are generally not the strongest of their sect.
Lower-level members of the sects engage in combat to keep the situation under control.
But now, Huo Yuan was completely disregarding these matters.
The implication of his words was clearly that he would act directly.
If Immortal Bow Huo Yuan says he’ll act personally, the situation is indeed severe.
Many eyes fell upon Shen Han.
There was a mix of sympathy in those gazes.
Besides sympathy, there was helplessness.
To them, the problem lay with Shen Han.
Knowing well that Qingyun was Huo Yuan’s most cherished disciple, yet dared to strike her lethally.
It’s said that if you don’t court death, you won’t die.
In the Northern Three Domains, many eyes were fixed on this scene.
The people of Cangxuan Valley were filled with anticipation.
But in the next moment, Yu You stepped forward and blocked Huo Yuan.
“Since you said it, then fine.
If you wish to harm the child, scrape a layer of skin off this old man first.”
“Yu You, are you sure you want to protect him like this?”
“Naturally sure.”
Yu You showed no hesitation, even as Huo Yuan spoke these harsh words, still unwavering.
“Yu You, you still have the Celestial Sword Sect behind you.
Offending our Immortal Bow Mansion, do your decisions have the support of the Celestial Sword Sect?”
Huo Yuan clearly didn’t want direct conflict with Yu You, so brought up the Celestial Sword Sect.
And in the next moment, the Celestial Sword Sect’s Vice Sect Leader Yi Qi stepped forward: “Huo Yuan, whatever our Sect Leader says naturally represents the will of our Celestial Sword Sect.
No need to speak those contentious words.”
Seeing the Celestial Sword Sect’s attitude remain unchanged, Huo Yuan knew he couldn’t attack Shen Han now.
“Fine, fine.
If the mountains don’t move, the waters will shift, I, Huo Yuan, want to see if my bow technique can destroy this inexplicable disciple!”
Huo Yuan spoke fierce words, having absolute confidence in his bow technique.
Shen Han in front not only destroyed his Immortal Bow but also injured his disciple.
He couldn’t swallow this grievance.
But as soon as he uttered these harsh words, Yu You thoughtfully approached.
“Master Huo, after thinking it through, I do agree there’s merit in what you said.
If you were left to your own devices to ambush and assassinate daily, it’d indeed be difficult to handle.
In that case, why shouldn’t I act first?”
Yu You’s tone was relaxed, but anyone listening could sense the arrogance within.
The strongest in the Divine Land have comparable strengths.
Who can easily wound someone?
Initially, the crowd didn’t care much, but when Yu You took action, they realized.
“How dare you!”
Huo Yuan never expected Yu You to truly dare to act against him.
A surge of overwhelming force blasted forth, making it extremely difficult for those of lesser strength even to move their bodies.
