Han Lin never imagined that he, a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator and the head of the Han family, would one day be chased and forced to flee in panic by a mere Nascent Soul cultivator.
The chaotic battle below had stopped at some point, and everyone stared in disbelief at the unbelievable scene unfolding in mid-air.
For the Han family, this was utterly disillusioning. How could the dignified patriarch, a top expert in Maple Forest City, be forced to this extent?
For all the Ling family members, this was fantastic. Seeing Han Lin, who had just been so arrogant and boastful, suffer such a setback was incredibly satisfying.
Ye Xiruo was not feeling well at the moment. She had been injured by Han Lin and then forced to activate the trump card in her blood. Now she had to muster all her strength to chase after Han Lin. Her overall condition was not very good.
"Go." The lightning, flashing with black and red destructive light, did not lock onto Han Lin directly and fight to the death as everyone expected. Instead, it exploded at an odd angle around the remaining three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Han family.
The black lightning exploded directly in mid-air, and countless black and red fragments turned into the most poisonous substance in the world, blooming in mid-air like fireworks. At the same time, it was accompanied by bursts of destructive aura. In the middle of the explosion, a vacuum zone was formed, and space seemed to be distorted, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Everyone was curious about what happened to the three Nascent Soul cultivators who were closest to the explosion. Soon, the energy gradually dissipated, and the two elders of the Han family had been crippled by the explosion. One had lost an arm, and the other's head was almost blown off. From the horrific wound on his chest, one could vaguely see the white bones.
Most critically, both men's bodies had turned a bluish-purple color, and the blood seeping from their wounds was also bluish-purple, clearly indicating they had been poisoned. Han Yan's master was in slightly better condition; he hadn't lost any limbs, but his hands and lips had also turned a terrifying purple. Like the two elders, he had been poisoned, and his internal organs felt as if they were burning in purgatory. His entire body was completely paralyzed, unable to move an inch. Now, even a Foundation Establishment disciple could easily take their lives.
Conversely, Han Lin was much luckier. Among the four Nascent Soul cultivators, Han Lin's skill was undoubtedly the most profound, and he was also the most important. It was better to leave such a person to Ling Feng. Letting Han Lin go while crippling three of the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivators was a very worthwhile trade.
As Han Lin fled for his life, he heard the terrifying explosion behind him and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the attack did not hit him; otherwise, he would never have survived unharmed.
However, upon closer inspection, all three Nascent Soul cultivators were severely injured, and most importantly, poisoned, clearly rendering them incapable of fighting. Just who is this person, and how does he possess such a powerful magical artifact?
"Hand over the antidote, and I might spare your life."
"Heh." Ye Xiruo's response to Han Lin was just two words, but anyone could hear the sarcasm in her tone.
"Shouldn't I be saying this to you?" Ye Xiruo took out several top-grade Rejuvenation Pills, Blood Replenishing Pills, and Vitality Nourishing Pills and threw them all into her mouth.
"Why do you want to oppose the Han family?"
"I think this is a question worth pondering."
"Hand over the antidote, or we'll fight to the death today." The most important thing now is to save the lives of the three Nascent Soul cultivators. As the saying goes, Liu Deqing is a skilled warrior; he's never short of firewood. As long as the three recover, the Han family will still have the strength to fight again. If all three die here today, the Han family will suffer a severe blow. It's all this sickly fellow's fault.
"They asked for it, so why blame me?"
"So you're saying you're unwilling to hand over the antidote?" Han Lin's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"So what if I am? Since I've already made my move, I never intended to leave you any way out. Patriarch Han, do you want to experience my unique skill again?" Ye Xiruo looked at Han Lin with a half-smile. This old man is extremely suspicious and values his life highly; he certainly wouldn't risk his life.
"At worst, we'll fight to the death and perish together." Han Lin truly harbored murderous intent towards Ye Xiruo. If it weren't for Ye Xiruo, his plan to destroy the Ling family today would have already been realized. It was all because of Ye Xiruo.
Han Lin approached Ye Xiruo, who, without hesitation, took out another handful of Que Xue from her spatial storage, unleashing waves of destructive power once more. Han Lin's scalp tingled at the sight. How could this be? With Ye Xiruo's strength, how could she possibly have the energy to launch a second attack? This must be a feint.
Han Lin's speed increased rather than decreased; he was determined to destroy Ye Xiruo today, having already forgotten about the Ling family.
Ye Xiruo knew that the Blood of Que in her hand was fake, and she had no other Blood of Que to use. However, she was not afraid of Han Lin's giant hand at all. She raised her hand and faced Han Lin again. This time she did not fall behind. Han Lin's hand felt as if it had grabbed a huge furnace, and he felt an indescribable pain.
Soon, Han Lin released his grip, and Ye Xiruo did not pursue him. Instead, she stood still and calmly looked at Han Lin. What Han Lin had really faced was the green energy that had been burned red by the Azure Lotus Heaven. Ye Xiruo held the green energy horizontally in her palm, shrinking it to a size that was invisible to the naked eye, and directly clashed with Han Lin's palm.
Over there, Ling Feng had almost finished his tribulation.
"What kind of sorcery did you use?!" Han Lin roared in anger. His palms felt like they were being burned by flames, and he couldn't recover with his true energy. Strangely, the true energy in his body seemed to be starting to stir.
"Patriarch Han, it would be impolite not to reciprocate. This is just a small gift from me, nothing more, but please accept it. By the way, those three behind you seem to be dying. You can say goodbye to them, or you don't have to go through all that trouble and just go down and join them."
"You bastard! Where's the antidote? Hand it over now!"
"Oh, the antidote? There really isn't one. The poison was made by my master, so the antidote is naturally with him too. Patriarch Han, you really know how to make things difficult for us." Ye Xiruo looked like she was about to kill someone, which made many of her family members burst out laughing.
Ling Yue's shock grew ever greater. The awe-inspiring power Ye Xiruo brought her was growing stronger. The Ice Heart Flame, the simultaneous unleashing of ten thousand swords, the terrifying weapon she possessed today, and the fact that she could hold her own against Han Ling in a head-on battle, even leaving Han Lin helpless.
Such a legendary woman will one day stand at the pinnacle.
Han Lin desperately tried to suppress the chaotic true energy within his body, but the more he suppressed it, the more agitated the true energy became. Could it be that he was poisoned?
"You poisoned me!!!" Han Lin was now filled with regret. How could he have provoked Ye Xiruo, this great demon? This woman was definitely an alchemist, and an alchemist who made a living by refining poisons.
