Chapter 253: Martial Venerable Arrives?

Damn, these guys are unkillable monsters!

Gu Han was far from this place.

But he was still among the first to reach the battlefield.

Watching them charge forward, they were instantly smashed back.

Yet they kept coming, fearless of death, making Gu Han's scalp tingle.

These fellows, aren't they afraid of pain?

He naturally noticed that their wounds healed quickly, which had to do with this heavenly treasure.

But quick healing doesn't mean they feel no pain!

He had no masochistic tendency, so he planned to wait a while for the battle to develop before joining.

After a full cup of tea's time, the storm of their spiritual power in battle had weakened considerably from the start.

But actually, the number of Martial Ancestors and demonic beasts killed in action is barely more than ten!

This is only because their strength is lacking, and they got their heads chopped off directly!

Even though the aura of this heavenly treasure helps them recover quickly.

But once the head is lost, recovery is still extremely difficult.

Even so, no one retreated.

Only a few skilled scouts noticed Gu Han hiding in the dark.

This was also because Gu Han crept forward, touching corpses, which made some noise.

After all, he hadn't mastered strong stealth techniques, so being discovered was normal.

Kid, you want to fish in troubled waters?

A burly man wielding an iron hammer seemed to think Gu Han was a soft persimmon, so he dared not step forward to fight.

He suddenly shouted loudly, bringing violent spiritual power as he charged at Gu Han.

The Martial Ancestor who had been fighting the burly man, seeing him withdraw, also picked an opponent while sneaking inward.

And when the burly man got close to Gu Han, he immediately lowered his voice,

Kid, you're sharp, knowing to conserve your strength.

Even if wounds can heal, the expended internal energy cannot be restored quickly.

The burly man realized this, which is why he charged at Gu Han.

Let's pretend to spar, so we don't draw others' suspicion.

When others' stamina is nearly spent, we'll strike; then whoever gets the heavenly treasure will depend on fate, right?

Gu Han glanced at the burly man's thick brows and big eyes.

I didn't expect this fellow to be such a schemer!

Good.

Gu Han glanced around; indeed many people now shared the burly man's idea.

They tried to fake matches with others to slip through.

But just relying on that to seize the heavenly treasure is unlikely to be so simple.

Gu Han casually took out a spear and thrust it at the burly man.

Gu Han hadn't used his full strength.

But this spear made the burly man tremble with fear.

Damn, we agreed to just act, why are you so serious?

The burly man swung his hammer with all his might, barely breaking Gu Han's spear, bending the shaft.

And he broke out in a cold sweat from fright.

Sorry, I'm used to it, I didn't hold back.

Gu Han chuckled and said casually.

To him, these early-stage Martial Ancestors were simply too weak.

If he were serious, this guy couldn't even withstand one of his thrusts.

After this move, the burly man also realized Gu Han wasn't easy to provoke.

He curled his lip,

I'm not fighting you; I'll find someone else.

This fellow is too dangerous; the burly man feared he'd die by Gu Han's spear if he let his guard down.

That would be a loss!

The battlefield situation intensified, and more people flew toward the dangerous core from the outskirts.

Moreover, as time passed.

The spiritual energy emanating from the heavenly treasure had weakened its healing effect considerably compared to before.

Some wounded Martial Ancestors and demonic beasts found their wounds hard to heal quickly, gradually becoming unable to keep up.

But just then, a roar suddenly erupted from the sky.

Some fighting Martial Ancestors looked up, and their pupils instantly shrank.

Because in the distance, a huge flying ship tore through the sky!

Whose Martial Venerable is this?

Many Martial Ancestors engaged in combat heard the sound, immediately stopped fighting, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

With the Martial Venerable appearing, how could these Martial Ancestors hope to compete?

The flying ship soon arrived above the battlefield and halted.

On it stood a dozen or so Wu Zongs with powerful auras.

Gu Han, who had just concealed a Wu Zong corpse, lifted his head and squinted.

He discovered that all these dozen or so Wu Zongs had actually reached the mid‑stage of Wu Zong!

The Wu Zongs now battling over the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are mostly in the early or mid stages of Wu Zong.

Moreover, most fight individually, with very few Wu Zongs from the same faction.

Even factions that are on good terms will not consider their relationship when faced with such an alluring Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Any alliance is less important than the growth of one's own strength.

But the strong ones on the flying boat are clearly all from the same faction!

Such trustworthy Wu Zongs, even if only a dozen or so, can sweep away at least twice as many Wu Zongs!

"I am the junior Family Head of the Fang family of Wangu City; from now on this area is under our control. Everyone leave immediately, or bear the consequences!"

A clear voice, bolstered by inner strength, rang out from the flying boat and spread in all directions.

All the Wu Zong strongmen present felt both anger and helplessness at that moment.

They were angry that the opponent, upon appearing, seemed to demand that nearly a hundred Wu Zongs hand over the newly born Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to the Fang family.

What were they fighting to the death for before?

Just playing around?

But they were helpless because Wangu City is one of the five major cities of Jian Nan Prefecture.

The Fang family is also one of the five great families of Wangu City.

In terms of strength, they are slightly superior to any single family among the six great families of Han Shan Cheng.

If they were to face the Fang family's reckoning, none of them could withstand it.

"Everyone, don't be afraid; the Fang family only has the Family Head, a Wu Zun, as its sole weapon!"

"Moreover, the Family Head of the Fang family is not present today; on what grounds should we withdraw from the contest?"

"Indeed, whoever can claim the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures must do so themselves, even members of the Fang family."

"There's no way to snatch the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for free!"

After the leader raised his arm and shouted, the crowd of Wu Zongs boiled with excitement.

Which Wu Zong, who frequently ventures into dangerous places, is not a headstrong rogue?

How could a few words alone make these Wu Zongs retreat? It's not that easy.

"Seeking death!"

Fang Kaiyi, the junior Family Head of the Fang family on the flying boat, turned a furious shade at the sight.

Some Wu Zongs from the small towns even dared to defy his decision!

Rumble—

He pressed his palm downward, and the flying boat instantly emitted a huge roar.

In the next instant, a beam nearly two feet thick roared out from the front of the flying boat.

It shot suddenly toward the direction where the man who spoke first stood!
