Chapter 352: Encountering the Black-Robed Swordsman Again

Swish!

This long whip is a spiritual artifact that Gu Han drew from the treasure chest.

Although its grade cannot compare to the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, it has also reached the highest rank of earth-grade.

Under Gu Han's control, the whip suddenly extended several zhang, tightly binding the six people's bodies like zongzi.

Immediately after, he swung his arm and pulled the six up.

But there were still three people who continued to fall downward.

Although everyone had previous grudges, Gu Han would not just watch them die miserably here.

He hurriedly shouted downwards.

"You three, use your martial techniques downward and attack with all your strength!"

The three rapidly falling people, hearing Gu Han's shout, had no time to retort due to their years of combat experience.

They each exerted their utmost, unleashing their signature martial techniques to blast at the ferocious tentacles swinging down.

Boom!

Three powerful waves of spiritual force struck the tentacle, sending it flying and smashing it against a distant cliff wall.

Taking advantage of the residual shock, the three's falling bodies paused slightly.

But if they cannot free themselves, they will eventually continue falling downward.

But just then, they suddenly saw a glint of gold light up from the pitch-black abyss.

That glint of gold light traveled at extreme speed, tearing through space, and appeared before them in the blink of an eye.

"Grab my spear!"

Hearing the voice from above, the three each burst forth with inner force, moving their bodies a bit and barely managing to grab the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear.

Whoosh!

The Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, carrying the three, swiftly flew upward.

But down below, a terrifying wind-rending sound still arose, even mixed with a strange roar.

The three were both shocked and angry in their hearts,

"Die, you old bastard!"

Outside Chong Yuan, they are existences above ten thousand people.

They actually almost fell in this godforsaken place?

The three held nothing back, even using spiritual treasures to boost their combat power, slashing fiercely with blade light at the incoming tentacles.

This attack even caused the surrounding space to seem to emit a cracking sound.

Boom!

Hiss!

The three attacks converged in resonance, focusing on a point to strike the tentacle.

The terrifying power forcibly tore off a section of the tentacle, flinging it away directly.

The next moment, a heavy landing sound rang out.

That section of arm actually smashed onto the ground of the opposite shore, shaking the solid ground of the Hall of Learned Gods slightly.

Seeing that enormous tentacle, almost five or six zhang long, even those who had already landed safely felt their hearts tremble.

"Just how huge is this monster's size?"

Based on their years of contact with demonic beasts, for the vast majority of demonic beast species, size represents strength.

The larger the size, the stronger the strength—definitely not an empty boast!

Although it's unclear whether the rules of Chong Yuan's world are the same as the outside, they have already clashed with the owner of this tentacle.

Calling it a formidable enemy is absolutely not an exaggeration!

Gu Han merely glanced and then withdrew his gaze; through the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, he had already sensed the monster's rough appearance.

Although it was just a shadow, he could roughly feel that it was a ferocious and terrifying octopus!

"Let's continue forward."

After the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear brought back the last three and they landed steadily, Gu Han immediately looked toward An Jianan and Zi Ling, and they set off side by side.

Several people exchanged glances, their looks toward Gu Han filled with remorse.

Not long ago, they had joined forces against Gu Han, wanting to embarrass him in front of An Jianan and the other Savior Heirs.

Thus giving them a chance to seize Gu Han's position.

But Gu Han, bearing no grudge, rescued them from that terrifying monster.

This act of repaying hatred with virtue left them greatly shocked.

Once, they too were like Gu Han, full of goodwill toward everything in the world.

But later, when they realized that only strength mattered, they became what they are now.

No longer like they were in their youth.

Everyone sighed, immediately followed him, and their impression of Gu Han underwent a great change.

In the Hall of Knowledge, they also encountered some teachers from the Hall of Learned Gods.

Under their guidance, everyone proceeded all the way into the depths of the Hall of Knowledge.

At this moment, the deepest part of the Holy Hall of Knowledge is also the exalted abode of the Hall of Learned Gods.

Each generation's master of the Hall of Learned Gods, when succeeding, must come here to seek the consent of the Rational God via the Erudition Treasure Pearl.

Only in this way can one assume the position of master of the Hall of Learned Gods.

However, at this moment, the Holy Hall of Knowledge has only a figure in emerald green scholar's robes, stumbling and staggering as they run forward.

His complexion was pallid, his breath floating; each step felt as if he could barely stand, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Bang!

Finally, after stepping onto the Holy Hall's stairs once more, he had no strength left and collapsed with a bang onto the Holy Hall's steps.

And in his bosom, faintly visible, there was still a bright pearl.

Even though it was wrapped inside his scholar's robe, the radiance atop the erudition pearl remained difficult to conceal.

Meanwhile, a figure cloaked in black robes swiftly darted from afar.

If Gu Han and the others were here, they would surely recognize this person as the black-robed swordsman they had clashed with outside Sheng Cheng!

The black-robed swordsman was extremely fast; though he could not fly either, in the blink of an eye off the ground he turned into a blur, about to reach the fallen scholar.

"Riding the west wind, let's set off!"

A childish voice suddenly rang out; the black-robed swordsman seemed to be startled, hastily halting his forward stride and his body swiftly recoiling.

But only after he had flashed tens of meters away did he realize no attack was coming!

The black-robed swordsman, angered by being toyed with, listened to the urgent footsteps echoing from afar, his gaze darkening as he turned around.

Gu Han and the others guarded around An Jianan, rushing madly toward the black-robed swordsman.

Upon seeing the black-robed swordsman and his signature Crescent Moon Long Sword, Gu Han's pupils involuntarily contracted.

"We arrived at the Hall of Learning swiftly by riding the gate summoned by An Jianan; how could this black-robed swordsman still get ahead of us?"

Although they had a brief moment of leisure after the battle in Sheng Cheng ended,

But Gu Han, at most, estimated it was no more than an hour!

In the battle at Sheng Cheng, the black-robed swordsman was wounded and fled; how could he possibly appear in such a distant Hall of Learning within just an hour?

Even breaking through the Hall of Learning's defenses all the way and slaughtering into the Hall of Knowledge would take considerable time!

As a demigod of the gate path, An Jianan alone possesses such means.

Could this black-robed swordsman also possess similar means?

Zi Ling had also crossed swords with the black-robed swordsman, and had even been wounded by him.

But she did not react as intensely as Gu Han did; she merely clasped her hands.

"Today, I will not let you succeed!"
