Chapter 779: Chapter 725: Are You Sure Shen Han Has Escaped?
Shen Han and You Wanying’s duel, in many people’s eyes, the outcome was already predestined.
However, there were quite a few spies who came to observe their duel.
Firstly, the grudge between Shen Han and You Wanying was well-known. Their clash was considered a grand spectacle, and many sects were eager to join in the excitement and see the result.
Secondly, it was because Illusion Realm experts rarely made serious moves.
Having the chance to see You Wanying in action, other sect powers naturally wouldn’t pass up this opportunity to gather intelligence.
What techniques she would display and what her true strength level was, other sect forces naturally wanted to understand.
At this moment, Shen Han was already surrounded by You Wanying’s Poisonous Mist Incarnation.
Those in the Illusion Realm were already fully integrated with the Heaven and Earth Laws within a Heart Thought.
In the slightest gestures, there was the Power of Laws.
With laws as the pressure, how could ordinary people resist?
"Ban Wu, Wu Ke, Yu Yan, these three children all perished at your wicked hands.
Today, I, You Wanying, will exhaust all my lifelong skills, using the most vicious methods to torment you, to console the souls of my three disciples!"
The Poisonous Mist Incarnations around drew closer, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The surrounding spies sensibly distanced themselves a bit.
After all, You Wanying practiced Poison Skill, and even slight contact could lead to poisoning.
That would be an undeserved calamity.
At the same time, spies from various factions were conveying the live situation back to their respective sects.
On the side of Five Immortals City, upon learning that Shen Han had been intercepted and surrounded by You Wanying, Elder Si Zhi looked somewhat disheartened.
He had high hopes for Shen Han and also admired Shen Han’s character greatly.
He just never thought Shen Han would meet such an end in this manner.
In stark contrast, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on Shen Xiang’s face.
He could feel himself suppressing it, but the smile on his face still emerged uncontrollably.
"In this way, we don’t need to contend any further.
If we wanted to help him, we wouldn’t have the chance.
To be honest, not choosing to help Shen Han is a good thing for our Five Immortals City.
If we really provoked You Wanying, we would pay a huge price.
Moreover, what could Shen Han bring to us?
He couldn’t bring any benefits to our Five Immortals City."
Upon hearing this news, Shen Xiang began speaking again.
But these words made Sect Leader Nalan Xing, standing beside him, look somewhat displeased.
"Stop saying such cynical things. No matter what, Shen Han is still our direct disciple at Five Immortals City.
If we can’t help, we shouldn’t speak such harsh words either.
Others sought refuge with us, and our failure to protect our Sect Disciples is our fault.
Saying such unpleasant words will only leave people cold-hearted."
Nalan Xing’s words carried a hint of reprimand, but indeed, no one could help Shen Han at this moment.
The analyses of the situation by other sects were quite similar.
Hui Taoist and Qianmu Fan, who were still searching for everyone’s whereabouts in Great Wei, also rushed back immediately upon hearing the news.
After learning that Shen Han had already been encountered by You Wanying, the expressions of both also relaxed.
In the mountains and forests, Shen Han made his move.
The Personal Array around him had already been activated, and the longsword in his hand was replaced by the longsword at hand.
The vast Sword Qi burst forth in an instant, exceptionally fierce.
What was more astonishing was that within the Sword Qi, there was also the Power of Laws accompanying it.
Although these Laws couldn’t match those of You Wanying, an expert in the Illusion Realm, they were definitely not weak.
The most crucial point was that Shen Han’s techniques already had the ability to confront You Wanying.
The Sword Qi fell onto the Poisonous Mist Incarnations. Last time, Shen Han had relied on the Spirit Devouring Mirror to destroy these Poisonous Mist Incarnations.
But this time, the Poisonous Mist Incarnations seemed to have shed their armor and couldn’t withstand the vast Sword Qi at all.
The swiftly flying Sword Qi pierced through those incarnations; before one wave of Sword Qi faded, another surged forward.
Relying on the longsword in his hand, he unleashed an unceasing stream of Sword Qi.
In a swift moment, Shen Han slashed down all the Poisonous Mist Clones surrounding him.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding spies were stunned.
This was entirely different from their predictions; they hadn’t expected such an outcome.
Even You Wanying, in the midst of battle, was taken aback.
She had originally thought that Shen Han shouldn’t have had any strength to fight back.
After all, they were now confronting her true body.
The moment Heaven and Earth Laws emerged, Shen Han should have been suppressed, unable to stand.
No time to think further, You Wanying knew she had to make her move.
In a split second, she flashed forward.
With the spear in her hand dragging forward, with each step You Wanying took, the spear seemed to scatter poisonous mist outward.
With her Poison Skill cultivation, these methods were instinctual memories to her.
But her poisonous mist was completely ineffective against Shen Han.
The Unceasing Skill easily blocked the invasion of those poisonous mists.
Of course, for You Wanying, this was just a minor part of her methods.
The spear strikes, with a sudden momentum mixed with poisonous mist, began surging towards Shen Han.
A barrier of poisonous mist also rose around.
You Wanying intended to trap Shen Han within it, preventing any escape.
But Shen Han truly had no fear of poison.
Sword Qi directly struck the barrier, continuously battering it, attempting to break a hole through it.
In the face of Shen Han’s attacks, these barriers didn’t hold well, soon revealing cracks.
You Wanying also noticed something peculiar.
Every time she approached or her techniques attacked.
As long as she got slightly close to Shen Han, there would be a force beginning to drag her, preventing her from fully exerting her strength.
