However.
Han Yi had unexpectedly managed to evade this long-planned assassination attempt, which truly caught him off-guard.
Nevertheless, he didn’t care, for Han Yi was already poisoned, and his short sword was coated with powerful toxin.
Furthermore, even without the potent toxin, he possessed enough strength to kill Han Yi.
On the other side.
After escaping by diving sideways, and then using an Instant Teleportation Talisman to move a hundred meters away, Han Yi turned around to look at his attacker with a mix of fear and anger. However, this fleeting emotion was quickly replaced by pure shock.
His body trembled as he felt an eerie resistance when mobilizing his magic power.
He touched the slash wound on his forehead that was now deep enough to reach the bone. If it had been any deeper, his skull would have been shattered.
The blood he touched was black.
“It’s poisonous, and a powerful one at that, especially one targeting the physical body and magic power.”
“Damn it.”
Han Yi’s eyes widened with horror. In just one night, he was first targeted by a poison that attacked his Divine Soul, followed by a strike against his physical body and magic power by this ambushing cultivator. Although the latter didn t manage to kill him, that one strike had inflicted a lethal poison that targeted his physical body and magic power.
Divine Soul, physical body, and magic power were all affected.
Instantly, Han Yi felt that today was truly his day of misfortune.
He quickly took a detoxification pill— a Flawless Level Detoxification Pill, which was capable of countering all poisons. However, Han Yi still had an ominous premonition.
As expected.
As the Detoxification Pill dissolved in his stomach and intertwined with the poison in his body, his magic power could barely be mobilized for just a brief moment before sinking back into a heavily obstructed state.
This poison was so terrifying that even the Detoxification Pill was rendered practically ineffective, providing only a brief window of detoxification.
Horrifying, too horrifying.
Without a second thought, Han Yi turned and fled.
The cultivator who had attacked him possessed unknown strength, but from that brief glimpse, it was undoubtedly a Gold Core cultivator. Regardless of whether they were at the early, middle, or late stages of the Gold Core, they were not opponents a poisoned Han Yi could handle.
As he fled, a bitter look appeared on Han Yi’s face. He never thought that in trying to catch a cicada, he would become the prey of the proverbial oriole.
Of course, the destination he chose to escape to was the official Daqian cultivator residences – the six government mansions.
Just like Liu Ruyan had said, in times of crisis, he could rely on the power of Daqian’s official forces to save his life. This was the most secure path, and Han Yi naturally wouldn’t miss it.
jinyun Immortal City was one of Daqian’s major Immortal Cities, presided over by none other than one of the seven marquises of the Daqian Immortal Country, Jinyun Marquis.
It was precisely because his territory was in Jinyun Immortal City that the Marquis was crowned with the name of the Immortal City and the two characters Jinyun.
If he could obtain the protection of the True Monarch, naturally no one would dare to pursue him any further. However, Han Yi didn’t dare to disturb the Nascent Soul True Monarch recklessly. As long as he could escape into the six government mansions, there would surely be numerous Gold Core cultivators, allowing him to remain safe in the end.
However.
His speed was fast.
Yan Bu’s speed was even faster, and as if he knew of Han Yi’s plan, Yan Bu easily intercepted Han Yi’s attempts to flee towards the center of the city.
Han Yi was astonished. He wouldn’t be able to escape by relying solely on his ability to control the sword at his current speed.
A cultivator at the middle Golden Core Stage, this must be one at the middle Golden Core Stage.
What should he do?
What should he do?
Was he really going to die here?
Han Yi suddenly had this thought, but in an instant, he dispelled the depressing idea. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would never give up.
Although his body was poisoned, the poison hadn’t spread to the Sea of Consciousness Space. Han Yi didn’t know if this kind of poison would affect his Divine Soul if it spread to the Sea of Consciousness Space, putting himself into a situation where he couldn’t drive it. If the Divine Soul got trapped, he wasn’t sure if the black bead hanging in the Sea of Consciousness Space would be able to save him once more.
He couldn’t afford to gamble on this.
However, he still had a method. Before his Divine Soul was damaged, Han Yi’s spiritual consciousness surged onto the Green Reed Sword, flying high into the sky. Then, he launched the Immortal Boat, getting on it and fleeing towards the City Lord Manor of Jinyun Immortal City, the residence of Jinyun Marquis. With his identity as the ninth Daqian Dragon and one of the Four Orders Inspector, Jinyun Marquis should not abandon him. Moreover, he bet that the cultivator following him would not dare chase him into Jinyun Mansion. Even if the cultivators in the Mansion were discontented, he would apologize and compensate them with spirit stones once he recovered. Compared to his life, it was a small price to pay.
However, Yan Bu, right below him, revealed a smug smile.
“I’ve been waiting for you to do this.”
A streak of spirit light shot out from his hand, reached up into the sky, and landed on Han Yi’s Immortal Boat. Suddenly, his Immortal Boat that was about to start came to a halt and even issued a cracking sound under the excess pressure.
“No good, it’s a trapping spirit talisman specifically for Immortal Boats.” Han Yi’s face changed drastically. He had encountered this kind of talisman that trapped Immortal Boats before when he took a Jade Level Immortal Boat from the White Jade Tower and was ambushed by the Southern Dipper Divine Palace. At the time, even the Artifact Level Jade Level Immortal Boat was stuck and couldn’t move, let alone the Earth Immortal level Immortal Boat under his feet.
As his face changed, Han Yi realized that using the Immortal Boat was no longer an option.
Without hesitation, he immediately gave up on the Immortal Boat, flew up on his sword control, and tried to flee towards the center of the Immortal City again. But in a flash, Yan Bu reappeared in front of him, blocking his path.
Han Yi saw the black-robed cultivator in front of him didn’t attack first, although puzzled, he prepared to fight desperately. However, his body suddenly weakened, and the mana he had tried to gather dispersed. He immediately swallowed another Detoxification Pill instead of trying to fight, and with his still undamaged spiritual consciousness, he controlled the Green Reed Sword and flew towards the outside of the city.
As part of Daqian Immortal City and a large immortal city, Jinyun Immortal City had a city protection array. However, the protection array of Jinyun Immortal City was a Fourth-stage top-quality formation, which was not activated at ordinary times. It would only be activated at critical moments, such as when a demon cave appeared nearby or when a large number of demon cultivators showed up.
Han Yi controlled the sword to escape the Immortal City, and without any hesitation, he fled northward.
Yan Bu, who had chased him out of the Immortal City, flashed a look of astonishment.
Apart from evading his first attack, every step Han Yi took was within Yan Bu’s expectations.
His response plan had been set in advance. He couldn’t kill Han Yi in a short time, but he could drive him to flee outside the city. So just now, he only blocked Han Yi without counterattacking. If they fought, Han Yi’s speed was only a bit slower than his own, and the outcome would be hard to predict. Moreover, he was afraid that Han Yi would use some high-level Spiritual Talismans, risking the outcome of having his mana drained and choosing to die together.
To be cautious and secure the most effortless kill, Yan Bu planned to drive Han Yi out of the city and wait for the poison in his body to erupt, leaving him powerless and easy to harvest their target’s life and complete the mission. Such a plan, based on his hundreds of years of experience as an assassin, was the most prudent.
But he never expected that once Han Yi had fled the Immortal City, he would head north.
Because to the north, less than ten kilometers away from Jinyun Immortal City, there was a mountain range stretching for countless miles.
The Evil Mountain Range..
