The remaining two cultivators had extremely strange expressions on their faces.

Young Master Huangfu, who had been full of vigor and vitality just moments ago, now seemed absent-minded.

The same was true for Ou Mingdong, whose Carefree Fan had just divided into countless threads, weaving in the sky and entangling the two into misery.

But now it seemed to slow down a bit, giving the two a chance to catch their breath.

Huangfu Liang was scared. Originally, he rushed into the air with a mighty broadsword, fearless even when facing two cultivators of the same realm. His robust, flawless body shone brightly, and fighting two-on-one, he was still not at a disadvantage, directly meeting the attack head-on for close combat later.

Although he was not a Body Cultivator, with his Earth Spirit Root and cultivation technique, he could act just like one—hard, upright, and proactive!

As long as his True Essence persisted, he dared to charge forward.

Ou Mingdong joined in from behind, making things even more comfortable, allowing the two to leave the opponent breathless.

But when they heard the screams from afar and just glanced over, they were shocked.

This man-woman pair was terrifying.

One was responsible for capturing, while the other used a Little Flying Sword to stab people in their kidneys, not just once but in pairs.

Seeing this made Huangfu Liang tremble with fear, thinking that they must have gone easy on him during the last two beatings.

Otherwise...

"Him! So young, yet already weak in the kidneys."

Otherwise, wouldn't there always be people laughing at him behind his back for his poor kidneys? Just thinking about it made his back shiver.

Ou Mingdong, meanwhile, looked at Han Yu with shock. In Shuzhou City, he had been chased into the city by a Divine Gaze Realm cultivator, and now, in such a short time, he can toy with a Divine Gaze Realm cultivator?

Immediately, he felt a moment of silence for Wang Shiye. Ever since he followed Han Yu's way, whenever Wang Shiye appeared in any setting with food and drink, it would inevitably become a mess.

Now, he was almost like a fat ball, and he had completely let go of himself, even coming to find him before setting out.

"Senior Brother, if you go to Shuzhou City and encounter that kid, tell him I won't forgive him, I want revenge."

With Han Yu's current skills, if Wang Shiye met him, things would only get more miserable.

Over there, You Li controlled the Little Flying Sword and pierced through the kidney of the last cultivator before anxiously heading towards the two.

If these two cultivators were resolved, they could divide the stones.

In the eyes of Huangfu Liang and Ou Mingdong, You Li had just finished stabbing the kidneys and was rushing over with great excitement, as if wanting more.

The two cultivators, troubled by Ou Mingdong's True Essence threads, suddenly felt a sharp pain in their waists, and a small and delicate palm-sized sword pierced through them.

"Despicable!"

One exclaimed, while the other looked terrified.

He looked around, and among the eight people, only the two of them remained, with the others having vanished.

Looking down for a moment, he saw, with horror, the others dispersed everywhere, their fates unknown.

"Retreat, quickly retreat!"

He was pale and wanted to call for his companion, but he shouted for no one, as the one who was in pain just moments ago was gone, leaving only him...

You Li sneered and pointed at his waist, causing him a sudden sharp pain as another small sword pierced through his other kidney.

Tss!

Huangfu Liang took a deep breath, truly vicious and ruthless.

He leaned close to Ou Mingdong, asking softly, "Do you think she'll get too enthusiastic and stab the two of us as well?"

Given her and Han Yu's strength, dividing the Dragon Blood Stone into two would be enough; if wicked thoughts arose, the kidneys might suffer unbearable damage.

Han Yu watched, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly, a startled call frightened him.

"Han Yu, Han Yu!"

Glass suddenly jumped up in the Sea of Consciousness, waving hands continuously.

"Divine Power, I can sense the power of Divine Techniques below."

Glass said excitedly, unable to contain the thrill.

Han Yu was initially stunned and then looked down, catching sight of a small mound like a living thing sliding continuously over the flat ground.

"Chase quickly, I want to give him a big Dream Love Pill."

It had been holding back for quite some time, watching Ping and Han Yu work together, only able to look on eagerly.

Never expecting that in such a barren place, a Divine Power User could appear, truly like a timely rain after a long drought.

The urging from the Sea of Consciousness continued, and Han Yu, deploying his flames, immediately flew into pursuit.

After flying about twenty miles, the mound suddenly sank into the ground, with the raised area smoothing out instantly.

Han Yu furrowed his brow and asked in the Sea of Consciousness.

"What's the situation? How did it disappear?"

Damn!

Glass's bun-like face looked displeased, scrunching into a frown before explaining.

"This is the Earth Elemental Power's Earth Escape, the most disgusting of all abilities."

The Artifact Spirit's sense of the Divine Power User was constantly waning and it couldn't help but express its defeat.

"That person knows you're in pursuit, and is sinking deeper and deeper, making it impossible to chase."

Its perception stems from the need for its Pill target, akin to a special sense of smell; as long as there are not too many obstacles, it can keenly detect even if within a city.

That's how Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lin were found.

But facing someone who directly burrows underground, it can only be left blind.

"How can there be such disgusting Divine Techniques."

Han Yu exclaimed in astonishment.

"Because the attribute's neutrality is what leads to this disgusting thing."

Glass spoke sullenly as an explanation.

The world's Divine Techniques are unpredictable, take the Hungry Ghost Path for example, postnatal cultivation requires great perseverance and exceptional talent; those who possess both are invariably great figures.

Once such Divine Techniques are cultivated, their power is immense, but they cannot reach the stage of complete control, much less subsequent changes; this is the downside.

Talent Divine Power Users start with less apparent power and can only be enhanced through cultivation, but the potential is limitless later on, like Han Yu reaching the stage where the Fire Series techniques can effectively utilize the Divine Fire.

The other difference between postnatal cultivation and innate abilities is that postnatally cultivated Divine Techniques are myriad and strange.

Whereas innate Divine Powers lie within the Five Elements, in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, containing changes.

Water, adaptable, penetrating, the epitome of flexibility.

Fire, adept at combat, annihilating all, the epitome of explosion.

Wood, adept in defense, of the vegetation, forming armies, the epitome of entrapping enemies.

Metal, adept in attack, unstoppable, turning stone to soldier, the epitome of sharpness.

Only the path of Earth, neutral and harmonious, not as aggressive as Metal, not as combative as Fire, not as adaptable as Water, and not as entrapping as Wood.

Yet it is the most disgusting, with Earth Escape Technique melding into the land, the Divine Power User within is like a fish in water.

And the speed of escape is extraordinary, even Han Yu can only follow behind.

"Unless that person comes to the surface, you can't possibly handle them."

Glass was extremely frustrated, rare to encounter such a slippery Earth Spirit Root Divine Technique.

Han Yu hovered in the air for a while longer, then flew a mile forward before his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Below, in a barren area, four corpses lay sprawled, hastily landing, he approached to take a look.

"These are the four cultivators who came to pursue."

Han Yu immediately recognized them as four of the twelve that had come out in pursuit.

Could they have been counter-killed by the fleeing four Divine Gaze Realm cultivators?

Just as he was pondering with his head bowed, three sounds pierced through the sky from above.

Three figures descended one after the other; You Li, Ou Mingdong, and Huangfu Liang had actually caught up.

But their expressions weren't good, especially You Li's face, livid.

Prior to this, the three only saw Han Yu suddenly departing, though puzzled, they had no time to investigate further, and the Dragon Blood Stone below was evidently more pressing.

However, after descending, the place where the Dragon Blood Stone had been was now empty. The three's expressions changed dramatically, quickly linking Han Yu's pursuit to the scene, and hurried after him.

"Aren't they the other four among the twelve?"

Huangfu Liang immediately recognized the four corpses on the ground.

"Weren't they here to hunt down the first group of four?"

Ou Mingdong frowned deeply; the hunters were dead, and the hunted had escaped instead.

You Li, still worried about her stone, scowled and snorted coldly, "Which bastard dares to steal my stone? If I catch them, I'll hack off their claws and string them up by their waist."

"Finding them now would be tough!"

Han Yu looked at them, shook his head helplessly, and recounted the matter of the Earth Divine Power, then sighed.

"If this person escapes far away, and eventually shifts out of Qingzhou Prefecture, it would be like a stone sinking into the sea, nearly impossible to find again."

Han Yu's words left the three of them in a cloud of apprehension.

Bastard!

The three cursed inwardly.

They had finally dealt with a group, only to have the opportunity stolen right beneath their eyes.

Stealing someone's opportunity, is a life-and-death enmity.

Especially with a rare treasure like the Dragon Blood Stone, it's not excessive to say there's no end until one of them perishes.

"No way, that stone is mine, I have to dig that rat out!"

You Li gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

Although Huangfu Liang and Ou Mingdong didn't speak, their stern expressions suggested they too had no intention of giving up.
