At Yan Chunjun's residence, watching Xue Nu put on the bracelet Yan Chunjun had given her and enter his room, Wang Han frowned. The current Yan Chunjun was not the Yan Chunjun of the original story. Now, possessed by a parasitic soul, his strength was absolute and immense, even among the parasitic souls of Yan Kingdom, he was the strongest. Of all the people he knew, besides himself and the Grim Reaper in Europe, no one could defeat him. Xue Nu was even less likely to kill Yan Chunjun as in the original story; she would be easily defeated.
On the other side, Gao Jianli's enemy is Night Owl. However, Night Owl is also possessed by a parasitic soul. Among the parasitic souls in Yan Kingdom, its strength is second only to the one possessing Yan Chunjun. Gao Jianli is no match for it, and Night Owl can also kill Gao Jianli instantly.
Moreover, the soldiers in Lord Yanchun's residence were somewhat unusual, much stronger than ordinary soldiers, some even equivalent to second-rate experts. It was obvious that the parasitic soul had strengthened them through a special shortcut. Even if Lord Yanchun and Night Owl, fearing discovery, didn't kill them instantly, they wouldn't be able to leave alive. For them, without strong external assistance, it was a certain death situation.
However, until now, Wang Han has not discovered that anyone else has entered Yan Chun Jun's residence.
On the contrary, Gao Jianli charged into Yan Chunjun's mansion in a fierce battle, and was already badly injured before even encountering Ye Xiao, and this was even without him lingering in the fight.
"You've certainly got some skill to get this far." Just then, Night Owl appeared, blocking Gao Jianli's path. The soldiers who had followed also blocked Gao Jianli's retreat.
"Mysterious brother, why aren't you here yet? I'm almost dead." Looking at the enemies in front and behind him, Gao Jianli was extremely anxious, as he was really running out of strength.
“But this is as far as you can go.” Night Owl said, looking at the exhausted Gao Jianli. A gray, semi-transparent energy tentacle wrapped around Gao Jianli at a speed faster than Shadow.
Seeing the gray, semi-transparent tentacles flying towards him at breakneck speed, Gao Jianli tried his best to dodge, but unfortunately, the tentacles were too fast. Even if he were at his peak, he would have had a hard time dodging them, let alone now that he was covered in wounds and exhausted.
As the tentacles were about to pierce his body, Gao Jianli was filled with despair. "Is this all I can do? Snow Maiden, I'm sorry, I couldn't get in. Mysterious Brother, you broke your promise."
——————————————
In the shadows, they watched as energy tentacles emerged from the Night Owl and swiftly reached towards Gao Jianli. Gao Jianli, already covered in wounds, was unable to dodge or escape the energy tentacles that suddenly shot towards him.
Seeing that Gao Jianli was about to be instantly killed, Wang Han finally couldn't sit still. He used his wall-penetrating ability to instantly block in front of Gao Jianli, and his lightning-infused Miao sword severed the energy tentacles that were wrapping around him.
At the same time, Wang Han finally understood something: his imagined enemy, the time traveler who clashed with him, didn't exist. He had ultimately been manipulated by the laws of time. He was the one who saved Gao Jianli and Xue Nu, the one who went on killing sprees and left behind legends, and his sword, which had indeed broken or evolved. That's why the future presented a different image, rather than a replacement weapon. And the person in the white armor was also himself. Because his present self was gradually shaping the present according to the future he knew. Or rather, the future he saw was the future he had created by going back in time. No matter how he changed in the past, his future self would always know the future he had altered.
"Mysterious Brother." Gao Jianli finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Han, who had saved him.
"We arrived late because of some misjudgments," Wang Han said to Gao Jianli.
"No aura. You're the one who's been chasing us all this time, killing so many of our companions. Today we finally see your true face." The parasitic soul inside Night Owl immediately recognized Wang Han as the one who had been chasing them. However, upon seeing Wang Han, the parasitic soul inside Night Owl didn't run away. Instead, it killed Night Owl, took control of his body, and spoke to Wang Han.
“It’s me,” Wang Han said. “Why didn’t you run away? In the past, your companions would run away immediately as soon as they sensed my presence.”
“There was no way to escape, so from the very beginning, I was prepared to sacrifice myself,” Night Owl said.
Gao Jianli listened to their conversation, and although he was surprised, he was no longer in the mood to care. He anxiously said to Wang Han, "Brother Mysterious, hurry up and save Xue Nu. I can handle this guy."
"You can't handle this guy at all," Wang Han said. "The moment I leave, he'll be dead."
“That’s right. You’ve probably already noticed that my companion in the house behind me is no less powerful than me. So, you can only save one of them. My companion is also inside, ready to kill you with a single blow. When you move, we’ll attack together,” Night Owl said, his energy tentacles poised to strike. After the parasitic soul on Night Owl took control of him, the parasitic soul on Yan Chunjun then killed Yan Chunjun and took control of his corpse. The other parasitic soul didn’t immediately attack Xue Nu, just as Night Owl had said, remaining ready to kill her at any moment. Meanwhile, Wang Han’s radar showed that parasitic souls from all over Yan Kingdom were converging on this location.
"I see. So you're planning to buy time like this?" Wang Han said, looking at the night owl that hadn't run away. He had already noticed that the parasitic souls of Yan Kingdom had gathered here, scattered over a hundred miles around, numbering in the hundreds. He had already guessed that these parasitic souls would make a big move, but Wang Han didn't want to alert them.
After all, although these parasitic souls had scattered and hidden, they couldn't escape his radar. Their numbers continued to decrease as he and Death pursued them. These parasitic souls wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die. Now it seemed that their actions were aimed at him. Night Owl was talking to him to buy time. But these few hundred parasitic souls couldn't take him down. These parasitic souls wouldn't be so delusional, otherwise they would have done it already. These parasitic souls probably had bigger plans in store. The few hundred might just be a test of his strength.
"My death is not important, Brother Mysterious, you must save the Snow Maiden." Hearing Night Owl's words, Gao Jianli, who had witnessed Night Owl's strength, became anxious and said without hesitation.
"The Snow Maiden won't die, and neither will you. I'm determined to save both of you." Looking at Gao Jianli, who was doing this for the goddess, Wang Han shook his head and grabbed Gao Jianli's arm with one hand.
"Brother Wang Han, don't worry about me, save Xue Nu first." Gao Jianli said anxiously when he saw Wang Han grabbing his arm, trying to break free.
“Then let’s see how you save people,” Night Owl said, as several tentacles shot towards Gao Jianli at lightning speed. At the same time, as Night Owl attacked, Yan Chunjun, who was being controlled in the house behind Night Owl, also shot out tentacles.
