Chapter 96: Obsidian Demon Stone

That's because you've seen too little of the world.

Gu Han chuckled, retracted his left index finger, and gave the demonic aura a crisp flick to the forehead.

Bang!

That flick to the forehead seemed to hit a solid object, producing a crisp sound.

This flick to the forehead was like an insult, instantly making the demonic aura fly into a rage out of shame,

"You you you, you dare to treat the honored Demon King like this? You deserve death ten thousand times!"

Hearing the words "Demon King," a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Han's eyes, but he spoke smugly,

"You don't even bother to piss and look in the mirror—would a Demon King be reduced to parasitizing a stone?"

"Would the Demon King be played with in my hand?"

"Oh, I forgot you don't even have a body now, so you can't piss."

The demonic aura flew into a rage, struggling wildly in Gu Han's hand, even condensing two arms to attack him.

"You dare to insult the Demon King; if I regain my power, the first I'll kill is you!"

It's a pity, no matter what power it once had.

Before the mighty System, it still had no means to counter.

It could only be kneaded flat and round by Gu Han!

Gu Han calmly stroked his chin, pretending to accidentally loosen his grip.

Seeing this, the demonic aura fled without looking back into the Obsidian Demon Stone.

Immediately, the Obsidian Demon Stone, as if grown wings, flew off into the distance under the demonic aura's control.

In the blink of an eye, it flew several hundred meters away!

"Hehe, come back."

Gu Han reached out, as if grabbing an invisible thread, and yanked the Obsidian Demon Stone back.

"How, how is this possible?"

The demonic aura hoarsely screamed in fear and anger,

"Who exactly are you, able to forcibly control the Obsidian Demon Stone?"

Although it had not yet restored its power, it had witnessed Gu Han's battle with the Great Martial Master.

Given Gu Han's displayed strength, it was impossible for him to empty-handedly seize the Obsidian Demon Stone that it was controlling and flying away!

In its view, Gu Han must have used some unknown means.

Gu Han's eyes shifted, and he chuckled,

"A puny Demon King dares to show off before me? And don't be afraid to hear this: this young master is a reincarnated Immortal Emperor!"

"Immortal Emperor? What's an Immortal Emperor?"

This world naturally has no Immortal Emperor, but Gu Han's recent forceful control of the Obsidian Demon Stone has already awed the Demon King.

Seeing the demonic aura already taken in, Gu Han immediately cleared his throat and deliberately said,

"You're merely a minor Demon King of this realm; the path to immortality is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away, so not having heard of an Immortal Emperor is understandable."

As soon as these words were spoken, the voice within the demonic aura fell silent.

Just then, Wang Keyan, whose injuries had slightly healed, came running from nearby, stumbling.

Gu Han immediately stuffed the Obsidian Demon Stone into the System's storage space.

To prevent the stone from making noises it shouldn't.

Gu Han wasted no time; after waving at Wang Keyan, he had the Flame Hound drag the combat-incapable Jiang Shan over.

Immediately, Gu Han personally ended Jiang Shan's life with a single sword strike.

"Congratulations, host, for absorbing 8000 Qi Blood, 1000 Strength, and 1000 Martial Skill Experience from the first-rank Great Martial Master Jiang Shan!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a second-tier treasure chest. Open it now?"

Gu Han temporarily put the treasure chest away, looking at Wang Keyan, whose complex expression showed she wanted to speak but hesitated.

Wang Keyan never imagined that half a month ago, Gu Han had only narrowly beaten her by a single move.

In that half month, her strength had improved; she originally thought she could contend with Gu Han.

But she never expected that the Great Martial Master she could not rival would, in Gu Han's hands, be like a toy, arbitrarily slaughtered!

That Great Martial Master that had chased her into disgrace, before Gu Han, was utterly powerless to resist.

Wang Keyan silently thought,

"Could it be that Gu Han was just playing with me before?"

The gap between them, compared to half a month ago, is now far more than a single move!

"Hurry up and heal your wounds; we still need to rush back to continue helping your adoptive father."

Gu Han urged Wang Keyan, then grabbed her and flung her onto the Flame Hound's back, rushing toward the prison.

Wang Keyan sat before Gu Han, feeling his steady, powerful breath, and inexplicably felt a stir in her heart.

She kept taking deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

At the same time, Wang Keyan took out a pill, swallowed it without guard, and began circulating her cultivation method to quickly adjust her condition.

After confirming Wang Keyan had begun circulating her cultivation method, Gu Han turned his attention to the two second-tier treasure chests he had just obtained.

"Ding, congratulations, host, for opening a second-tier treasure chest and gaining 1000 points of cultivation technique experience."

"Ding, congratulations, host, for opening a second-tier treasure chest and obtaining a Mysterious-grade low-tier spiritual artifact: the Yellow Stone Shield."

A dull-yellow, heavy stone shield hovered in Gu Han's mind.

The shield looked ordinary, merely made of yellow stone.

But the inconspicuous rune stone within it gave the Yellow Stone Shield the strength of a Mysterious-grade.

Gu Han didn't particularly like the shield style's turtle technique, but since it was a Profound-rank spiritual artifact, he tossed it into his storage space.

If he encounters danger, it would also be handy for him to use it himself.

Moments later, the Blaze Hound stopped and let out a low growl.

Not far ahead, several bloodstains continued toward the street corner.

It looked like the traces left by dragging a corpse.

"They were probably city patrol guards passing by, who fell victim to those people's vicious hands!"

Gu Han's face turned icy, and he immediately realized that not far away, a Great Martial Master from Dan Ren Cheng was likely secretly observing this spot.

Just then, Wang Keyan had nearly finished regulating her breath and slowly opened her eyes.

Although she hadn't fully recovered her peak strength, she could barely manage to fight.

"Those people from Dan Ren Cheng are probably scattered in the surrounding streets; when we act, we must avoid causing too much commotion, otherwise we might alert others."

Not a few Great Martial Masters have emerged from Dan Ren Cheng's prison.

Although Gu Han's Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger is formidable, it might not be able to achieve a one-hit kill.

If surrounded and killed by Great Martial Masters, even he and the Blaze Hound would fare poorly.

Wang Keyan frowned tightly.

"But if we expose ourselves, we'll be spotted; if they notice anything amiss, they'll likely send out a signal immediately."

"How can we act without drawing others' attention?"

"You go lure those Great Martial Masters over one by one."

Gu Han immediately arranged,

"I and the Blaze Hound will guard here; as soon as they approach, we can instantly kill them, giving them no chance to call for help!"

Wang Keyan gave Gu Han a deep look.

If it were before, she would definitely think this young man was just boasting.

How difficult it is to instantly kill a Great Martial Master; how could a young man possibly achieve that?

But Wang Keyan had personally witnessed the scene of Gu Han single-handedly killing a Great Martial Master.

Even though Wang Keyan considered herself to have a special constitution and extraordinary talent, she had to admit defeat!

She naturally knew that Gu Han's words were not false.

With Gu Han and the Blaze Hound's strength, ambushing to instantly kill a Great Martial Master has an extremely high success rate.

Thinking this, Wang Keyan nodded and then quietly headed toward the end of the street.
