Chapter 101: A Desperate Gamble at the Evil King Hall
"Are you sure?" Xiao Han asked once more; he could clearly feel the unwillingness hidden in the words of Thunder Lightning Spirit.
Even a free-spirited person like Xiao Han would not be willing to fall at the very moment success was within reach. That final step before the door of freedom now seemed like a chasm; how could Thunder Lightning Spirit be willing to accept a life of guarding one place?
"So what? We've reached this point, where would an opportunity come from?"
There was significant frustration in Thunder Lightning Spirit's voice; this incident showed...
Perhaps his tracks had been discovered long ago, and if not for Xiao Han's presence this time, whether he could have escaped this disaster was a matter of debate.
Xiao Han remained silent, and not knowing what he was thinking, he smiled slightly: "Do you want to make one last bet?"
"What do you mean?" Thunder Lightning Spirit was stunned. Could it be that you still have some hidden cards?
"The final ten minutes." The originally frivolous expression on Xiao Han's face vanished completely, replaced by coldness and seriousness.
"If this Wang Dian can withstand these ten minutes of my all-out effort without a scratch, then we will retreat immediately."
Then, Xiao Han's tone revealed a heavy killing intent, "If he cannot..."
"Then let's settle it all at once!"
Facing the desperate Xiao Han, Thunder Lightning Spirit's determination was not as firm; if one were not careful, both of them would be finished here.
"I say, are you sure you have the confidence?" Thunder Lightning Spirit hesitated, even unconsciously including a sense of dissuasion.
"No deception for young or old!" Xiao Han's voice at this moment was full of dominance, making Thunder Lightning Spirit feel a sense of novelty, and for a moment, he was actually stunned.
However, he soon came back to his senses, feeling quite grateful in his heart; after all, Thunder Lightning Spirit knew that Xiao Han doing this was merely to win him a chance to break free.
"Alright then, human! This Saint will give you such an opportunity to show yourself." Having changed his mindset, Thunder Lightning Spirit's tone returned to how it was when he first met Xiao Han.
"Then let's continue to fight!"
"Finish off this old immortal!"
Thus, Xiao Han, clad in armor, rushed toward Wang Dian with eyes gleaming, and at the same time, the long spear in his hand suddenly thrust forward; a point of cold light pierced through space in an instant, reaching the latter's face.
Wang Dian was also dumbfounded by this scene. In all fairness, the conditions he described were already quite good, and they were the absolute truth.
In his heart, it seemed there was no reason for Xiao Han's side to refuse, and he had merely thought the scene of Xiao Han not saying a word at the beginning was just the two of them communicating.
Who would have thought... this guy actually disregarded martial virtue and, taking advantage of his lack of preparation, ambushed an elderly person!
Although he had no anticipation of this sudden variable, Wang Dian, who had been closely watching Xiao Han's movements, still reacted quickly.
Directly channeling Evil Qi, a purple-black shield appeared on the path of the cold light.
"Pfft—"
Accompanied by a soft sound, both dissipated into the air.
Having resisted the attack, Wang Dian looked at Xiao Han in anger and shame, saying: "Brat, don't tell me you really take this King for a soft persimmon?"
Without answering, Xiao Han simply kept changing his position in space, then launched surprise attacks on Wang Dian from various angles, only to be lightly deflected by the latter.
However, facing the numerous flashy attacks, Wang Dian gradually lost his original patience. The force of the attacks in his hands suddenly increased, catching Xiao Han off guard.
"Bang—"
Another collision occurred; the black and blue light shadows intertwined, collapsing a patch of space. However, this time Xiao Han did not continue to launch attacks.
"This time we really have to go." Xiao Han said with some regret in his telepathic message to Thunder Lightning Spirit.
"It's fine, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." By comparison, Thunder Lightning Spirit saw things more clearly; he had already figured it out just now.
He had endured for so many years, so a few more years didn't matter. Furthermore, with Xiao Han's talent, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng would inevitably be unable to stop him within fifty years. By then, just having him come here directly to sweep everything away would be enough.
Isn't it just continuing his work for fifty years? Compared to those tens of thousands of years... it's a piece of cake!
"Then we are retreating!" Xiao Han gave a reminder; Thunder Lightning Spirit had been fighting quite enthusiastically just now, relying on the fact that the Battle Qi he was using wasn't his own, he had been unleashing big moves whenever he got the chance, and now the Battle Qi in his body was quite depleted.
"Hurry up!" Yunlei Jingling was a bit impatient; seeing things clearly was one thing, but being unwilling was another. This guy actually dared to provoke him in front of his face...
Xiao Han did not reply, but killed toward Wang Dian again; although the two needed to find a chance to retreat, running away immediately wasn't realistic, they still had to trade a few more blows.
Just like that, after another intense collision, Xiao Han narrowly avoided Wang Dian's Skeleton Ghost Claw and held his long spear horizontally across his chest.
"Bang—"
Wang Dian punched directly onto the spear shaft, and borrowing this force, Xiao Han quickly withdrew, not forgetting to greet the opponent before leaving.
"Lord Wang Dian, see you later!"
As he spoke, his figure turned into a black dot on the horizon, about to disappear.
"Leave? You still want to leave?" However, Xiao Han and the others wanted to escape, but Wang Dian, who had been provoked into a rage, naturally would not agree.
He saw his hand gestures change slightly, and a blood-colored barrier covering this land appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Damn it, this is a big mess!" The moment Xiao Han saw this barrier appear, a bad premonition had already arisen in his heart.
This was clearly a means of the Evil King Hall; after trying a few times and finding it impossible to break, Xiao Han also gave up on such useless behavior and quickly grabbed a pile of Medicinal Pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
Such extravagant behavior would surely make an ordinary person's heart ache if they saw it; those were all Eighth-Grade Pills!
But Xiao Han had no choice; in this Sealed World, he dared not channel his Cultivation Method to absorb external energy, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
As such, he could only replenish his consumption through Medicinal Pills. And at his level, only Ninth Grade Pills could satisfy his own needs.
But Yi Huang was currently only an Alchemist at the peak of the Eighth Grade, so Ninth Grade Pills were still a bit difficult.
Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and get more Eighth-Grade ones to make up the numbers. Fortunately, his wife was in this line of work, otherwise, even with his net worth, facing this kind of expenditure, his heart would surely bleed!
Feeling his state gradually recovering, Xiao Han's solemn expression relaxed a little, but he still looked at the Evil King Hall, which didn't know what kind of madness it was having, with a stern look.
"Since it has already reached this point, then you don't need to leave anymore!" The Evil King Hall, which appeared in front of Xiao Han in an instant, had a ferocious face and stared at Xiao Han with murderous intent.
However, what made Xiao Han strange was...
At this moment, the Evil King Seal controlled by this Wang Dian had disappeared, and his own body seemed to be cracking open; Xiao Han was even worried that if he touched it lightly, it would smear all over his face.
But the next instant, Yunlei Jingling warned him frantically in his heart, "Hurry and get away from this old immortal!"
Just as Xiao Han was about to take action, the cold and bone-chilling voice of the Evil King Hall suddenly rang out, and pillars of light rose one after another,
"Evil Emperor Life-Devouring Array, activate!"
