Chapter 840

The black mist was utterly shattered, and a piercing scream rang out.

Not human.

The three Juedian Sect masters stood frozen, staring at this scene.

A terrifying surge of blood qi flashed and vanished, then Li Hongtian's figure suddenly appeared in the arena.

His posture was upright, his hair swirling; though aged, when his blood qi erupted, he still radiated heroic vigor.

Not a trace of aging could be seen.

"Huang Xun, the specifics..."

Li Hongtian spoke only half his sentence—he saw Su Han standing ahead, his pupils sharply contracted, silent and still, his body instantly relaxing.

Then, Li Hongtian slightly bowed to Su Han in greeting.

"So you've already arrived. Since you're here, I'm at ease."

Huang Xun had just prepared to report when he saw this, his pupils sharply contracted, his words stuck in his throat, forcing a cough.

He shuddered all over, nearly convinced he'd misseen.

Nearby, Mo Wen also fell into stunned silence.

The Nanzhen Regional Envoy had just bowed to someone—not to Ram, but to Su Han. How could this be? Could such a being still exist in Huaxia? Even the world had no such existence! As fellow Da Zongshi, even if one were stronger, one could only earn respect—not bowing! Only Han Li, who had heard Ram's address to Su Han, twitched his eyelid several times, further confirming his judgment within.

Su Han... might truly be a being above Da Zongshi.

"... The last time I met Grandmaster Dama, this man was already near the peak of Da Zongshi. If we consider his age, breaking through five more steps in such a short time... might still be possible."

Han Li comforted himself internally, yet even now he felt an urge to spit blood.

He knew perfectly well: this made no sense whatsoever! You're young, already reached the pinnacle of Da Zongshi—that's unbelievable enough, yet you shattered the Da Zongshi realm's ceiling without any bottleneck! What are the world's other Da Zongshi supposed to do? Even cheats don't go this far! "Take them all away! Don't interfere with the master."

Ram spoke coldly to Li Hongtian.

Li Hongtian glanced at Ram, about to speak—then froze. He stared again at Ram, his eyes filled with doubt.

"... You've broken through."

.................. Li Hongtian had once discussed Su Han with Grandmaster Dama, and naturally, the topic had turned to Ram.

But he knew clearly: Grandmaster Dama had then assessed Ram as having extraordinary talent, having reached Juedian Sect master at a young age, with potential to break through to Da Zongshi within ten years.

But how much time had passed since he last spoke with Grandmaster Dama? How little time? Yet Ram had already taken this step. "... Did Old Dama misjudge... or is it because of the follower?"

Li Hongtian gave Su Han a deep look, and said nothing more.

Li Hongtian still had great trust in Old Dama's ability to judge people.

Considering this, he believed Su Han's assistance to Ram was far more likely.

His expression turned serious. Li Hongtian's blood qi spread outward, enveloping the fallen Grandmasters and Zhuduo Sect masters, then with a wave of his hand, these unconscious masters and grandmasters shot far away.

The three Juedian Sect masters did not leave.

Because they had not fainted and still retained considerable combat power, able to continue fighting.

This was an unspoken rule among nations in confronting Saiki Kusuo.

As long as one still had combat power, one must not retreat—only die on the battlefield.

The Saiki Kusuo passage collapsed utterly, shattered into fragments by Su Han's terrifying punch.

The punch's force pierced through the Saiki Kusuo fissure and struck into Saiki Kusuo itself.

Instantly, a thousand li around the Saiki Kusuo's temporal-spatial rift collapsed.

Within this range, whether fallen beast emperors or ordinary beasts, all were reduced equally to pulp.

Turned to dust alongside the earth.
