Chapter 3767: The fourth big shot
Ling Han activated his ocular technique, and instantly, Zhao Xiao’s attacks were filled with flaws in front of him.
However, identifying weaknesses and exploiting them were two different things.
The attack speed of a Cauldron Forging Tier was too fast, and any flaws in attack would only be momentary, so how could he make use of it?
This kind of weak point would be fatal in a battle of equal cultivation levels, but now, the gap between their cultivation levels was too wide, and there was also an obvious gap in power. Even if Ling Han saw the weak point, he would not be able to grasp it.
However, this was still useful. Ling Han had a panoramic view of Zhao Xiao’s attack patterns.
When everyone attacked, there would be a sign. Every muscle tensed and relaxed would have a sign. For example, if you wanted to kick, you would definitely have to tighten the muscles in your waist and legs, and the mystical power would also condense more towards your legs.
After seeing this with his eye technique and exchanging a few more blows, Zhao Xiao’s attacks became completely transparent in front of Ling Han.
It was as if Ling Han possessed the ability to predict the future. The moment Zhao Xiao moved, he would be able to react in advance.
In this manner, Ling Han actually managed to slowly reverse the disadvantageous situation. Though it was not completely equal, he was no longer at a disadvantage.
Everyone was watching dumbfounded. Could it be that they would be watching a supreme show of a Foundation Building cultivator defeating a Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator today? Zhao Xiao was extremely depressed. He really felt that Ling Han was like a worm in his stomach. No matter what kind of powerful move he prepared, Ling Han would be able to react in advance, causing his attacks to be unsuccessful. In fact, Ling Han would even take advantage of the opening to counterattack.
This battle was really too depressing, that he was practically about to go crazy.
It was about time.
Ling Han waited for the right moment, and finally used his trump card.
Heavenly Pattern Jade, go!
Xiu, the Heavenly Pattern Jade had already been compressed to about 100g. It was extraordinarily light, and with the boost of the colossal Spiritual Power, it instantly reached
40 times the speed of sound, blasting towards Zhao Xiao.
It was too fast, 40 times the speed of sound. Even if it was a Cauldron Forging Tier, his speed would only be around 30 times, and there was absolutely no way he could dodge.
Zhao Xiao was naturally unafraid. Was there any need for him to dodge the attacks of a Foundation Building cultivator?
He also activated his Spiritual Power, which transformed into a large net that wrapped around the Heavenly Pattern Jade, layer by layer.
However, his expression immediately changed drastically.
That was because when his net of Spiritual Power spread over, it would be like using an ordinary fis.h.i.+ng net to catch a crocodile. How could he possibly catch it? Frightening power surged over, like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter, and he was completely unmatched.
This was a Spiritual Power Spirit Tool!
Zhao Xiao shouted internally. How could he dare to parry? He hurriedly dodged to the side. However, how could the Heavenly Pattern Jade at 40 times the speed of sound be dodged? Peng! He had just made a dodging motion, when the Heavenly Pattern Jade had already reached his waist, and instantly, a dazzling brilliance spread out.
‘Hmm?’
Ling Han looked slightly surprised, because the Heavenly Pattern Jade didn’t manage to break half of Zhao Xiao’s waist. Instead, it was blocked by a layer of light, and then slid sideways, cras.h.i.+ng into the sandpit.
He hurriedly used his Spiritual Power as his hand and grabbed the Heavenly Pattern Jade back. He had not thought that Zhao Xiao actually had a treasure on him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape the fate of having half his body destroyed just now.
This was still because Ling Han hadn’t wanted to kill anyone. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately missed. However, killing an envoy of another nation was naturally a serious crime, unless he wanted to directly become hostile.
Zhao Xiao’s body was trembling. He had a rare treasure on him that would activate when he was in life-threatening danger, turning the crisis around. However, this rare treasure could only be used three times, and he treasured it extremely much.
However, who would’ve thought that he could use it once while cooped up in the Political Hostage Manor? Moreover, he had actually used it on a Foundation Building cultivator!
This, this, this, this, if word got out, he would become a joke for all eternity.
“Who would’ve thought? You actually have a Spiritual Power Spirit Tool!” he said through gritted teeth. His heart was bleeding. He hadn’t obtained anything, and he had even made a fool of himself. As a result, he had lost one use of the rare treasure instead.
Ling Han raised the Heavenly Pattern Jade slightly, “What is it? Want to do it again?”
Zhao Xiao’s expression changed drastically, filled with wariness.
Not only was Ling Han’s power so strong that it didn’t seem like a Foundation Building cultivator’s, but his insight was also far too terrifying. It was as if he didn’t have any secrets to speak of in front of Ling Han, and Ling Han knew his every move like the back of his hand. Added with the threat of the Heavenly Pattern Jade, he was no match for Ling Han at all.
If they continued fighting, not only would he not be able to suppress his opponent, he would instead exhaust all his rare treasures.
He suddenly turned around. Xiu, with a leap, he had already left the battlefield, and did not even leave behind a word of courtesy.
True, faced with a Foundation Building Tier cultivator, no matter what he said, it would only be embarra.s.sing.
Ling Han smiled faintly. He turned around, and saw Liu Xunyu.
Her expression was quite ugly, because she had used all her tricks. She thought that she had already taken control of Ling Han, yet had forgotten the most crucial link, and that was Ling
Han’s own strength.
Originally, there was no need to consider this at all. How could a mere Foundation Building cultivator be as strong as the heavens?
However, how could there be such strange things in this world? This Foundation Building Tier cultivator was truly heaven-defyingly powerful. He could even scare off a Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator.
-Though Zhao Xiao was only Human Cauldron Tier as well, and had even only formed two cauldron legs.
It should be known that her cultivation level was only that of a Human Cauldron. Though she had formed three legs, which was slightly superior to Zhao Xiao, the degree of superiority was
really limited.
What was she supposed to do?
At first, she had thought that Ling Han was a trapped bird, but now, he was a trapped beast. Once this trapped beast wanted to fight to the death, that was definitely no joke.
For the first time, she felt that the situation had spiraled out of control.
Ling Han only gave her a meaningful smile before leaving.
Now, he was filled with confidence.
His individual battle prowess was already just barely close to reaching the level of the Cauldron Forging Tier. Though it still couldn’t be considered a match, it wouldn’t be to the extent that he would be insta-killed by a sneak attack from such an elite. Then, as long as he was given time to react, whether it was using the Heavenly Dao Flames to destroy the enemy, or using the Imminent Skyline to flee, it was all possible.
Everyone watched as Ling Han left. They knew that Liu Xunyu, Han Bing and Zhao Xiao, the three big shots, were not the only ones in the Jia Yuan Manor now. There was also Ling Han. Though he had not yet advanced into Cauldron Forging Tier, he was no longer inferior. Moreover, once Ling Han broke through to the Cauldron Forging Tier, who would be able to
rival him?
This was the most terrifying part!
Everyone looked at each other, and felt that they needed to change their way of thinking. They could no longer follow Liu Xunyu and the others all the way to the end. This was obviously
better to follow Ling Han.
Instantly, a great many people quietly slipped away.
Ling Han returned to his room, and saw seven people quietly arrive. Subtly and openly, they expressed their desire to follow him.
He neither accepted nor rejected them. He only said that he would make a decision based on the performance of these people.
He did not have much interest in this kind of opportunistic people, but it was fine to use them
to disgust Liu Xunyu.
What Ling Han cared about the most was still the compet.i.tion that would be held in a few
days’ time.
Day after day pa.s.sed, and Liu Xunyu and the others were all very silent. Perhaps they knew that they could do nothing against Ling Han, and were presently thinking of an even more
vicious plan.
However, the Emperor’s thirty thousandth birthday had finally arrived, and the Imperial
Capital was filled with jubilation.
Tang Yan came personally to pick Ling Han up. With him by his side, even if Meng Shuchang came, so what? He would still dare to bring him out.
