Chapter 836: Counterattack from Desperation

"Xiao Han!"

Lu Yunxian’s face changed, but she could only exclaim in her heart, as any revelation of her relationship to Su Han would lead to unimaginable targeting against him.

To protect Su Han, she had to pretend not to know him, but the change in her Heart Spirit couldn’t escape Emperor Liu’s Divine Sense.

At this moment, Emperor Liu’s attention was focused on Su Han. He had heard of this rising star but hadn’t taken it to heart. However, it now seemed that Lu Yunxian had a past with him.

But Lu Yunxian was from the Eastern Region, while the Nineteenth Prince was a prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty; the two shouldn’t logically know each other.

Could they have met along the way?

Emperor Liu was puzzled, but he didn’t delve deeply. He truly cherished Lu Yunxian and treated her like his own daughter. Although he agreed to the Heir of the Liu Family’s martial arts contest solicitation request, he was merely giving the Heir an opportunity.

The Heir of the Liu Family was his great-grandson, whom he cherished but would not collude to deal with Lu Yunxian. After all, Lu Yunxian was the daughter of a deity, with potential surpassing the Heir’s, possibly even with hopes of becoming a deity in the future.

In today’s martial arts solicitation contest, if the Heir of the Liu Family won, he naturally would be pleased, but if other paragons claimed victory, he wouldn’t cheat, and everything would be led by Lu Yunxian.

However, the power gap between Su Han and the Heir of the Liu Family was too vast, and in Emperor Liu’s view, the final champion was without suspense. He hoped that Lu Yunxian wouldn’t excessively reject the Heir, as the best outcome would be their strong alliance.

Puff!

In the otherworldly battlefield, the Heir of the Liu Family seized the advantage and swiftly closed in to attack Su Han.

He didn’t use his full strength, only utilizing ten percent of his power, fearing that he might severely injure Su Han directly, prompting Emperor Liu to intervene, thus losing his chance for torment.

Therefore, he used a lesser power to torture Su Han slowly, giving Su Han some hope, ensuring the game wouldn’t end quickly.

Su Han’s shoulder was pierced by the Green Willow Holy Spear, revealing a bloody cavity.

This Green Willow Holy Spear was a Superior Grade Holy Artifact, refined from a segment of the Liu Divine’s willow branch, and its power was naturally immense, even Su Han’s Great Accomplished Holy Body couldn’t withstand it.

Of course, this was also because Su Han hadn’t activated his Sacred Body or Great Luo Golden Body for defense; otherwise, his injuries wouldn’t be so severe.

"Deadly Sword Technique: Severing River of Stars!"

Su Han’s face was pale, his aura weak, yet he tightly gripped the Soul Severing Sword, unleashing the Deadly Sword Technique from the Sun, Moon, and Stellar Art.

A sword radiance, like a sweeping river, roared out, resembling a starry river spanning the night sky—dazzling and deadly, with terrifying sharpness aimed at the Heir of the Liu Family.

"Weak and feeble!"

The Heir of the Liu Family’s eyes showed disdain, as the Green Willow Holy Spear erupted with brilliant green light—the green light like a waterfall, breaking through the long sky, heading towards the sword radiance.

Boom!

The green light unleashed by the Green Willow Holy Spear was terrifying, shattering the sword radiance piece by piece, finally breaking it completely, then continuing towards Su Han.

Su Han struggled to defend with the Soul Severing Sword, but was again knocked flying, spurting a mouthful of blood midair, blood sprinkling the sky with a stronger scent of blood.

"Time, like a sword, cuts all beings!"

Su Han unleashed the Deadly Sword Technique from the Sword Scripture of Ages—the sword light was like a river, as time flowed.

This sword was exceedingly powerful, a notch above Severing River of Stars, yet the Heir’s strength was too overwhelming, rendering this sword insufficient.

"Heaven Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Azure Sky Mortal Transforming Hand!"

The Heir of the Liu Family extended his right hand, striking towards Su Han—the green light surged, the space rippling like a lake, frightening green light waves pressing towards Su Han, battering the Sword Light of Time until it was completely extinguished.

This move was enough to flatten a range of mountains, horrifying beyond measure, which Su Han couldn’t withstand.

"Time Freeze!"

The Heir’s Holy Might surged completely, employing the force of time, instantly causing Su Han’s body to freeze, his entire being frozen at that moment, while the Heir could move freely.

Pop!

Nine willow branches simultaneously whipped out, striking Su Han, flinging him away with his Python Robe shattered, the bloody welts shocking, making one avert their gaze.

"Bewitching Heart Bell!"

"Divine Method: Vajra Subduing Demons!"

After Su Han broke free, he quickly took out the Bewitching Heart Bell and simultaneously used Vajra Subduing Demons, aiming to influence the Heir’s Heart Spirit.

The Bewitching Heart Bell and Vajra Subduing Demons used together was even more powerful, previously entrapping even Dugu Imperial Son, but the Heir couldn’t be compared to Dugu.

"Liu Divine Visualization Method!"

The Heir’s brow glowed, his Divine Sense radiant, having cultivated a special Divine Sense Method, manifesting a sacred and towering giant willow tree in his sea of consciousness.

Observing Liu Divine, comprehending Liu Divine, ultimately sketching the illusion of Liu Divine—this was the Liu Divine Visualization Method; at this moment, the Heir used the Liu Divine Visualization Method, rendering Su Han’s techniques futile.

Pop, pop, pop!

Meanwhile, the nine willow branches flew out again, lashing Su Han, leaving him covered in bruises, soaring away once more.

At this moment, Su Han was already scarred, looking like a blood gourd, with not a single intact piece of skin, and his Demonic Qi drastically depleted.

"Kneel and beg for mercy, or even if you don’t die, I’ll cripple you!"

The Heir looked down at Su Han from above, as if gazing at an ant, mastering absolute superiority, fearing no great ripples from Su Han.

Yet, he didn’t want to eliminate Su Han too quickly, wanting to torment his Physical Body, trample his dignity, making Su Han fall in despair and pain.

Su Han ignored the Heir’s words, his blood-stained hand still tightly gripping the Soul Severing Sword, Demonic Qi surged, unleashing a slash, sword light like a rainbow, heading towards the Heir.

"Stubborn indeed, let’s see if it’s your bones that are tougher or my fists!"

Su Han’s defiance annoyed the Heir, deciding to cripple Su Han, rendering him a broken man.

Swoosh!

Activating the Holy Boots, they erupted with supersonic speed, the Heir rapidly closed in, now standing before Su Han, binding Su Han with nine willow branches, then clenching his fists, intending to shatter every bone in Su Han’s body.

Thump, thump, thump!

Su Han was battered to the brink, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, looking ghastly, causing many in Wanliu City watching not to bear gazing.

If this continued, Su Han might not die, but he surely would be beaten into a wreck.

Lu Yunxian couldn’t bear it; she slightly parted her lips, wanting to plead with Emperor Liu.

However, at this moment, as Su Han was brutally beaten by the Heir, he suddenly brightened up, having waited for this opportunity for a long time.

"Now it’s my turn to retaliate!"

Su Han’s gaze was steadfast, chilling radiance surged, and in the next instant, a horrible aura erupted from within him.

Jie Character Secret activated, tenfold Combat Power!
