"Back off!"
After Han Yu was blown out of the Fire Zone, he quickly reminded Bai Chong'an and the Bai siblings on the side.
At this moment, Qin Tiannan had already emerged from the sea of fire. Seeing Han Yu's appearance, he sneered coldly, "Mouse, you have nowhere to hide now."
At this time, Elder Feng and Second Qin arrived one after another, forming a surrounding stance with Qin Tiannan, encircling Han Yu in the middle.
Finally, I can kill this little bastard.
Second Qin was delighted in his heart, having been tormented over the past few days, Han Yu being slippery as an eel, always able to escape death, diving into fire and swimming in water.
Qin Tiannan clenched his hands, and the ground beneath Han Yu's feet surged violently, transforming into a giant hand, which solidified into a fist and struck fiercely at Han Yu.
Han Yu wiped the blood from his mouth, rolled over, and was about to dodge when Second Qin, already prepared, unleashed a sea of fire that rushed at Han Yu.
"Taste the feeling of being burned by fire yourself."
As he spoke, the sea of fire engulfed Han Yu, who groaned in dismay.
Just earlier, he had been greedy. His Sea of Consciousness had little energy left, and embarrassingly, the remaining energy was only enough to protect one side, either the front or the back.
Han Yu made the difficult decision of choosing a third option, using the remaining energy to protect his lower half, as Little Han Yu and the backside were equally important.
The exposed upper body was the first to be roasted by the sea of fire, with his clothes igniting first, revealing the thin book that had been through numerous trials. The book soon caught fire, alarming Han Yu, who hurriedly patted it out.
Picking up the half-burned book, his face turned black instantly. The book was a gift from a mortal, with a face mask tucked inside. Now both were half destroyed, but almost as good as completely ruined.
"Watch out!"
From outside the battlefield, Bai Jingliang shouted, watching as a mud hand, clenched into a fist, smashed Han Yu heavily into the ground.
"Take action!"
The noble families finally moved. After exchanging glances, the three patriarchs could no longer suppress their joy.
Only three remain in the Divine Gaze Realm, it's worth the risk.
Bai Chong'an also moved, his Half-Step Divine Gaze cultivation reaching its peak, True Essence infused, and he raced forward, targeting Second Qin... and Han Yu below.
Second Qin, seeming maniacal, poured True Essence out as if it were worthless, drowning Han Yu's figure in a storm of intertwining Sword Qi and a sea of fire.
A sudden chill struck, and Second Qin, sensing something, turned to see a sharp, icy blade light coming at him.
"Overestimating yourself."
Second Qin sneered disdainfully, summoning a sea of fire created from his True Essence, easily dissolving the blade light and continuing his chase towards Bai Chong'an.
On Han Yu's side, the sea of fire diminished, revealing his figure, as he lay in a prone position with arms over his head, butt in the air.
The Little Artifact Spirit laughed hysterically in his mind, saying, "You... you, you really cracked me up. How did you come up with using your butt to block that old man's attack?"
With a dark look, Han Yu retorted, what else to use if not the butt? The remaining Divine Techniques only covered such a small area. If not the butt, should he use the front part to block?
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he jumped up out of the sea of fire, immediately spotting Second Qin chasing Bai Chong'an.
Bai Chong'an was not in a good state, his face alternating between white and black, his clothes riddled with burn holes, suppressed by Second Qin's higher realm.
"Damn it!"
Bai Chong'an, feeling aggrieved from the chase, occasionally glanced towards Han Yu, relaxing only slightly after seeing Han Yu rise from the ground.
A ferocious burst of wind swept past, and while Second Qin was basking in his smugness, a sturdy figure crashed into him, knocking him off balance.
Staggering back several steps, Second Qin saw Han Yu with a large fist swinging towards his face, prompting him to urgently summon fire to blow at Han Yu.
"Break!"
Han Yu's fist, unwavering, charged through the flames, causing Second Qin to hastily ascend into the air.
The most annoying thing is this group flying in the air while fighting!
Why?
Because he couldn't fly!
Watching Second Qin soar in the air with open eyes, Han Yu quickly called out to Bai Chong'an, "How about giving me a hand?"
A figure took to the sky, and Bai Chong'an nodded before charging towards Second Qin with his blade, while Han Yu continued pursuing their figures.
Every time Second Qin cast a Fire Curse, Han Yu would leap up to block it with his body, much to Bai Chong'an's delight.
He had never fought such an easy battle, needing no defense, only focusing on assaulting Second Qin, while Han Yu constantly harassed him.
Meanwhile, Qin Tiannan's face was terrifyingly grim, never expecting those three small fry to really dare stab him in the back.
"Do you intend to kick someone when he's down?"
The three patriarchs' expressions remained unchanged, merely sneering, "The opportunity is rare. Qin Family has developed too quickly, so quickly that the entire Tianning City noble families are afraid."
This was not a lie; in just over twenty years, Qin Tiannan had elevated the entire Qin Family to a new level, making them the largest family in Tianning.
Few stupid people reside at the position of patriarch; with the Qin Family's development, the next step would be to devour surrounding noble families and expand further.
So, with opportunity present, the patriarchs of the three great noble families were naturally keen to kick him when he's down.
"No more words needed, Brother Qin, just face death!"
One patriarch coldly stated, then struck first; amidst a swift and fierce assault, subtle thunderclaps resonated.
Suddenly, the sky filled with sword light, a full eighteen Flying Swords surging towards Qin Tiannan.
Standing outside the battlefield, Elder Feng was unsure which side to help, when one of the patriarchs soared through the air, wordlessly striking with a Water Blade.
Instantly, chaos erupted at the foot of the mountain, firelight flashing and thunder roaring.
Second Qin, frustrated by Han Yu's occasional jumps, couldn't believe a Divine Gaze Realm powerhouse like him was being outmaneuvered by a physically strong lad and a Half-Step Divine Gaze, utterly enraging him.
After breaking free into the air, Second Qin paused mid-motion, and his True Essence suddenly surged several times over. A fire serpent formed from flames extended ceaselessly from his palm, quickly swelling until it reached more than ten meters in length.
Han Yu was dumbfounded, exclaiming in his mind, "That old geezer is cheating."
Glass responded irritably, "That's merely the other side using a cultivation technique to continuously stack True Essence."
Han Yu retorted with equal irritation, "That's still a pretty formidable technique."
"You have to understand, Divine Techniques are the rules of things. Cultivation techniques can only simulate appearances. Simply put, the fire of a Fire Series Divine Technique has the potential to step into the realm of Divine Fire. When True Essence is invoked, it remains Mortal Fire. The essence is different. If your Sea of Consciousness energy is sufficient, he's courting death if he dares to set a fire," Little Artifact Spirit admonished patiently.
"The Five Series Attributes have no strengths or weaknesses, only ranks."
Second Qin's face was gradually turning pale, clearly showing considerable exertion, yet it was filled with confidence. At that moment, he lifted the Fire Whip,
and lashed it fiercely, the over ten-meter-long flame serpent winding towards Bai Chong'an.
After Bai Chong'an shifted several meters aside, the giant serpent still pursued him relentlessly. It was exceptionally agile and quickly coiled around his waist, causing searing pain and charring it black.
Han Yu quickly crouched and leapt up, attempting to rescue him. Second Qin's eyes lit up, immediately throwing Bai Chong'an off, then turning to entangle Han Yu directly from the air.
"Since you came to your doom, I'll kill you first."
Second Qin sneered for a brief moment but suddenly froze because Han Yu was sneering back at him.
Suddenly, he discovered that the flames around Han Yu's waist dimmed abruptly, and he was horrified to find the snake's tail in his grasp beginning to escape his control.
"Remember, Mortal Fire is just Mortal Fire. As long as it's not explosive in nature, such pure energy can be directly controlled in reverse," Little Artifact Spirit finished speaking, and Han Yu began guiding Second Qin's fire serpent with what little energy he had left and quickly took control.
"Get down!"
After seizing control of the serpent, Han Yu wrapped the snake's head around and used the tail to bind Second Qin's body, then slammed him brutally into the ground.
"Now, do you understand why Divine Techniques are called divine?"
Han Yu realized, looking at Second Qin, who was smashed to the ground and still hadn't recovered his senses. He estimated that the other man's head was probably in a daze...
Qin Tiannan was gradually becoming unsustainable, both of them were in the Divine Gaze Realm, and fighting one against two, he was inevitably slowly falling behind. If it weren't for the specialty of his cultivation technique, he would have been defeated long ago.
At this moment, he gritted his teeth tightly and spread True Essence throughout his body, and with a few cracking sounds, his body turned to stone from feet to chest, leaving only a normal head.
"You all must die."
After saying that, he charged recklessly at the two, his stone fists continuously striking down eighteen Flying Swords one by one, then brazenly punched at one among them.
"Trap!"
With a soft incantation, the owner of the Flying Swords hurriedly formed a seal again beside him, and the Flying Swords flew once more, forming a cage high in the air.
"Hurry."
The patriarch, constantly pushed back by Qin Tiannan, called out urgently, his figure constantly shifting in the air, weaving a net of lightning that continuously entwined, but unfortunately, each lightning arc dissipated upon touching the stone body.
Qin Tiannan's cultivation technique had always suppressed him thoroughly. He didn't expect that after twenty years, this suppression would reach such an outrageous level.
In surprise, the patriarch stopped tangling and turned to nimble dodging combat. At last, the sword cage eagerly flew over. Each Flying Sword wove through swiftly, displaying remarkable agility.
Moments later, all eighteen Flying Swords assembled and firmly trapped Qin Tiannan at his original spot.
"I've studied you for so many years, Brother Qin, how's this technique of mine?"
The patriarch of the Flying Swords flew over with a grin, clasping his hands together, "Tighten!"
Qin Tiannan's face changed as the Flying Swords trapping him began to tighten continuously, and his stone body could feel a huge pressure.
Boom!
The stones started to crack and fly off, revealing the body inside. Opposite, the one seemingly still controlling the Flying Swords, saw the sword cage tighten more and more. In an instant, Qin Tiannan exploded.
With the flying debris, Qin Tiannan fell heavily to the ground below.
Meanwhile, Elder Feng was also knocked to the ground, and the Qin Family's elite forces were completely wiped out!
Second Qin cast a complex glance at Han Yu and then was captured by a patriarch and taken toward the Qin Family Castle.
Qin Tiannan lay half-alive on the ground, also taken by two patriarchs and flown away.
"They're eager to reap the fruits."
Bai Chong'an sneered as he approached and handed a blade to Elder Feng.
"Don't kill me. After all, I am an outsider to the Qin Family, and there's no real enmity between us, just serving different masters."
Elder Feng's face changed drastically, hurriedly crawling backward.
"Besides, I can totally understand your feelings, mediocre and pushed around by the clan elders, unable to protect your children, your cultivation in ruins. I deeply feel your frustration, so please, don't kill me."
The thought of sparing him that Bai Chong'an had just risen extinguished instantly, and Elder Feng quickly pleaded with Han Yu.
"Please spare me! I only hunted you down because of orders from Patriarch Qin. I really have no enmity with you. I understand your feelings. You initially had no intent to kill, but the Qin Family kept pushing."
The words weren't wrong. Han Yu frowned, hesitating over whether to kill him.
"Also, I can understand your little thoughts about Bai Junya. Man! Bai Junya's figure and beauty are great, and you've always liked gourds, haven't you? Always sneaking glances. Down at the Bailu River, you almost touched her, happily carrying her back this time. How about letting me go?"
Damn it!
The rascal dug up my secrets! Han Yu, embarrassed and angry, walked over and dislocated Elder Feng's talking, tattling mouth.
Looking up again, people's eyes upon him were rather strange. Bai Chong'an's expression was complex, Bai Jingliang rolled his eyes, and Bai Junya's face was red like it could drip blood…
"You handle this person! I… I have something else to do."
Saying this, he quickly scampered off.
In his mind, Little Artifact Spirit laughed so hard he couldn't breathe, "Haha, you're killing me with laughter. Now everyone knows your little thoughts. How will you ever show your face in front of her again?"
