Chapter 981 The Massacre
“Swoosh!”
Nan Qi’s fist charged at Zhang Han, generating an overwhelming dark gale, which was so powerful that the dark gale alone seemed to be able to devour Zhang Han.
“Rumble!”
Zhang Han waved his right fist in the air when the distance between them had been reduced to only five meters.
An earth-shattering explosion occurred.
The energy fluctuations swept in all directions, turning the surrounding trees into pieces, carrying rocks to the sky. It looked like a scene of the destruction of the world.
“Whoosh!”
In the thick smoke, a figure flew backward.
Upon a closer look—
“That’s Nan Qi?”
Su Changxiu was so shocked that his eyeballs almost dropped to the ground.
“Nan Qi has already had the strength of the Elixir Realm Early-Stage, but who would have thought he was still no match for Zhang Han?”
At this, the cultivators of the Kunlun sects were frightened out of their wits.
“With the cultivation of the Innateness Stage, how could he fight against a man in the Elixir Realm?
“Even if he were a half-step to the Elixir Realm, his strength would still be a far cry from Nan Qi’s!
“But why did it turn out like this?
“Could it be that he is favored by this world?”
The expression on Lord Nan Shan also showed a mix of many feelings at the moment.
There were shock, dismay, confusion, and a trace of lingering fear on his face.
Si Nan was dumbstruck. “How could Zhang Hanyang be so heaven-defyingly powerful?
“Even if he went to the King’s Domain, he would definitely not be a nobody!
“No wonder Lord Liu values him so much. Lord Liu’s eyes are really sharp. Zhang Han is really a big freak!”
“Pfft...”
Nan Qi flew backward hundreds of meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with doubts about his outlook on life.
“How did you do it?” Nan Qi’s voice sounded a little bitter.
He only had a few minutes to stay in the Elixir Realm. Now that the Seven Sages’ Broadsword had been snatched away, he could not launch his strongest attack. However, he had lost so thoroughly in the close combat that he had always been proud of. How could that be?
“You’re too weak.”
Zhang Han’s eyes glinted with aloofness. He stepped on the void and walked toward Nan Qi.
“Even if you shake off the shackles, I can kill you all the same.”
“I’ll show you my third supernatural power.”
The third style of the Heavenly Demon—Ghost Soldier!
Zhang Han’s eyes suddenly turned completely dark, and a black mist began to radiate from his body. At this time, he seemed to have really transformed into a demon king.
As dim light glistened in his left hand, the Ghost Soldier, a supernatural power that he had comprehended when refining the Heavenly Demon Tendon, materialized for the first time.
The ghostly invisible Sword Qi quietly drew near Nan Qi.
Regarding this, Nan Qi was totally oblivious. Although he was very vigilant, the Ghost Soldier’s furtive way of moving was beyond his understanding.
“Clatter!”
In a fraction of a second, Nan Qi felt a chill run down his chest. Having no time to think, he cast a sixth-tier treasure to disapparate and successfully dodged the blow.
Nonetheless, the fear inside him had just started to grow.
“What was that?”
Nan Qi himself didn’t even see what just attacked him. His voice was already trembling.
“The Ghost Soldier,” Zhang Han answered nonchalantly.
With a flick of both hands, the dim light reappeared.
This was the best he could do so far. The invisible Sword Light, which was shaped like two long swords, zoomed at Nan Qi without giving off any energy fluctuations.
Nan Qi’s face was pale.
He asked, “Even those in the Elixir Realm can’t handle you, can they? Who the hell are you?”
His eyes were fixed on Zhang Han.
“My master is the most powerful demon king in the world. Just wait for your death!” Mu Xue yelled angrily.
“Where is your arrogance?
“Why aren’t you so arrogant now?
“Didn’t you wear the expression as if saying you were gonna kill all of us just now?
“Hmph!”
But Nan Qi ignored Mu Xue. As if he had sensed the coming of a crisis, he slowly closed his eyes and accepted his fate.
Still, with some chagrin, he asked, “Is there a way to counter your Ghost Soldier?”
“Yes, of course. But can you perform it?”
Zhang Han’s attitude rendered Nan Qi completely crestfallen.
Nan Wu was so furious that his facial features were all deformed. He felt as if the whole world was about to collapse.
“With Nan Qi’s strength, how could he be defeated?”
Su Changxiu, Bai Ruoqing, and other disciples of the Kunlun sects all forgot to breathe at this moment. As they watched the scene in front of them, their minds went all blank.
“What kind of means did Zhang Hanyang use?”
“Ah! I got one!”
Nan Qi suddenly snapped his eyes open. Right at this moment, the method of defending the Ghost Soldier hit him.
“Buzz!”
He shuddered, as though he had been attacked. His body and clothes started to turn gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a wistful voice, he said, “I came up with one way, but... it’s too late!”
His whole body turned grey. Like a zombie, he fell from the sky. But before he hit the ground, his body was blown into ashes by the wind.
The strongest opponent, Nan Qi, who was in the Elixir Realm Early-Stage, had died!
“Swoosh!”
Nan Qi’s Space Ring was intact. It floated to Zhang Han. After putting it away unceremoniously, Zhang Han looked at the crowds in front of him. He was not only staring at Nan Wu and his men but all of them.
Seeing this, Su Changxiu’s heart contracted with fear.
He hastily said, “Zhang Hanyang, you are indeed powerful. Regardless, we haven’t intervened in this matter. Let’s part our ways here.”
Bai Ruoqing’s face was a little pallid. She said slowly, “Our Falling Flowers Sect doesn’t want to get involved in such disputes. I’ll go back and report to my superiors.”
“...”
Members of the Kunlun sects jumped out to announce their departure one after another. They were all eager to leave. Because they did not want or had the nerve to get involved in this matter. Some of the people who had just helped Nan Qi also quietly backed away, leaving only the pale-faced Nan Wu and his few subordinates.
This scene held everyone present in awe.
Zhang Hanyang had suppressed all the sects in the Kunlun Immortal World on his own!
No one had ever achieved that in thousands of years!
“The martial arts world has really changed.”
Ye Tianlang stroked his hair and sighed. “I never thought that the secular martial arts world would also have a day like this. From today on, Zhang Hanyang’s name will be well-known in the Kunlun Immortal World. No matter which cultivator it is, he or she who come down to our world would need to negotiate with him.”
Directly or indirectly, they were all praising Zhang Han. It also meant that the battle was over.
However...
“You wanna leave now?”
Zhang Han showed a disdainful smile and said calmly, “It’s too late!”
“Rumble!”
Even Zhang Mu and others, who were still shocked, didn’t expect that Zhang Han would continue to strike.
For Su Changxiu and the more than a thousand cultivators, this was like a bolt from the blue, but the anger in their hearts was even stronger.
“Do you really think we are afraid of you?”
Holding back his anger, Su Changxiu said in a deep voice, “Zhang Hanyang, we represent most of the sects in the Kunlun Immortal World. You’d better think about what will happen to you before you attack us. If you did, You would be hunted by the entire Kunlun Immortal World. What’s more, when we do want to kill you, we surely have a way to get it done!”
“The Star Map and Thunder Sea!”
Without doing any trash talk, Zhang Han ran his power and his aura changed again.
“Sizzle...”
Zhang Han had drawn on the power of the thunder and lightning mark in his soul sense sea, as well as his comprehended of secret skills, to attain this supernatural power. After continuous strengthening, this supernatural power had matured.
“Rumble!”
In an instant, the entire Kunlun Mountain Range was covered by Zhang Han’s strong soul sense. Couple with his supernatural power, he set up a huge illusion. Everyone suddenly found that they were no longer in a mountain range but the vast cosmos!
Some stars were twinkling in the distance. But the surroundings were pitch-dark.
“A top-notch illusion?”
Bai Ruoyun’s face suddenly showed horror.
This method was way beyond her understanding of illusions. It should be noted that the Falling Flowers Sect was famous for its way of using illusions!
She couldn’t see through it now, let alone other people.
“Run!”
“Charge!”
“Kill!”
“Retreat!”
They shouted out their various orders.
Among them, some who had let their anger win over their rationality seized their weapons and rushed toward Zhang Han.
When they took a hack on Zhang Han, they were shocked to see that the broadsword light penetrated the target’s body but did not cause any energy fluctuation.
“This is an illusion. Don’t attack recklessly! Use your best soul sense treasures to help you and retreat!” Bai Ruoqing called out.
She took out a scarf and wore it on her head. At once, she saw through the illusion and led her team to run to the passage to the Kunlun Immortal World.
Many other people also followed suit and took out their treasures.
Just as Bai Ruoqing and the others were halfway through their flee.
“Clap!”
Giant thunderbolts whizzed over.
When the thunderbolts drew nearer, they actually turned into towering waves of thunderbolts. Meanwhile, the big thunder ring also began to change. It continued to shrink, merging with the thunderbolts and eventually forming the Thunder Sea.
This world-devastating scene had numbed everyone’s nerves.
In front of the sea, people appeared to be extremely small. Thus, in front of the Thunder Sea, all the cultivators felt they were too small and insignificant.
Carrying the power of heaven and earth, the Star Map and Thunder Sea began the massacre!
“Rumble!”
Countless thunderclaps resounded throughout the field. But these cultivators still had some top-level defensive treasures to defend themselves. For a moment, the attack of the Thunder Sea did not cause many casualties.
The first tide wiped out more than 50 cultivators.
This was already a very awesome achievement, but Zhang Han was still not satisfied with it.
“Given the strength of these people, the first tide should have been able to kill 100 people. It seems that the Star Map and Thunder Sea still need to be enhanced by some other means.
“The properties of the Taiyi Wood Thunder are not strong enough. If I switch it to the divine thunder over the sky, even if there is only a trace of the original thunder power, these people would all die in an instant.”
“Ghost Soldier!”
Thus, when Zhang Han continued to perform the Star Map and Thunder Sea, he launched two Ghost Soldiers as well.
The energy in his body was being consumed very fast, but the effect was also quite impressive.
After being unleashed into the Star Map and Thunder Sea, the Ghost Soldiers became even eerier. They began to take lives without a stop.
“No!”
“Elder, help me!”
“...”
Shouts, angry roars, and howls sounded every now and then within the thunder ring.
But on the outskirts of the thunder ring, Zhang Mu, Zhang Guangyou, Dong Chen, Chen Changqing, the Warlord of Chan Clan, Lei Tiannan, Ji Wushuang, Gai Xingkong, Wang Zhanpeng, and others were all silent. Zhang Han’s means had long exceeded their comprehension.
“He is really the demon king!” Mu Xue whispered.
Mengmeng was also astounded. She looked up at her father. He was floating in the void, with lightning flashing around his body. He commanded the Star Map and Thunder Sea to release supreme power. He simply looked like a god.
Countless people were panic-stricken in the Thunder Sea. They all died there!
“Run!”
“Ninth Younger Martial Sister!”
Bai Ruoqing’s face was very pale. After using all kinds of treasures and making a great deal of effort, she finally fled to the entrance of the passage. She turned her head only to see that two-thirds of her team was gone, leaving only a few people with her. And some of them were seriously injured. Even she had injuries all over her body.
“Zhang Hanyang!”
Bai Ruoqing said loudly, “You’ve slaughtered so many the Kunlun cultivators. You will be hunted by all the Kunlun sects!”
“Let’s wait and see.”
Zhang Han’s face was still perfectly calm. What she said did not bother him at all.
Bai Ruoqing shot a significant look at him, imprinting him in her mind, and then turned around and dived into the passage.
The members of the Falling Flowers Sects who were proficient in illusion were the first group of people to escape.
Then, people used their treasures to escape one after another. They were scared out of their wits and didn’t dare to say anything before they ran into the passage in disgrace.
The illusion lasted for 10 seconds, 20 seconds...
Finally, 30 seconds later, the Star Map and Thunder Sea dissipated. Then, would the sky clear up?
No, the night finally covered the Kunlun Mountain Range again. The bright moonlight made everyone confused.
“Is it finally over?”
“How many Kunlun cultivators have been killed?”
“More than 700!” Dong Chen said in a trembling voice. “Han, you killed more than 700 Kunlun cultivators. Only a small half of them escaped. We, we seem to have just stirred up a hornet’s nest.”
