Chapter 780 - 725: Are You Sure Shen Han Has Escaped?
Chapter 780: Chapter 725: Are You Sure Shen Han Has Escaped?
Besides that, You Wanying could also sense it.
Around Shen Han, the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum seemed much thinner.
Every time she wanted to invoke the power of Heaven and Earth for an attack, she felt powerless.
These two influences naturally came from the Personal Array and the Spirit Devouring Mirror.
The benefits they brought allowed Shen Han to further close the gap in strength.
He could even exchange blows with You Wanying.
You Wanying could no longer care about her astonishment, having only one thought now—to kill Shen Han at any cost.
The surrounding spies, after coming to their senses, began relaying the scene to their sects.
But none of their sects believed it, repeatedly questioning them.
However, the battle before them was incredibly tense, leaving no time to explain to their sects.
They continuously conveyed the battle situation, regardless of their thoughts, prioritizing dissemination.
In the exchanges, Shen Han was very aware that he was not a match for You Wanying.
She was an experienced Illusion Realm expert, while he was just Second Grade; how could he win against her?
Even possessing supreme treasures, it was challenging to bridge this chasm.
Shen Han saw this clearly,
his goal unchanged, only one—to escape.
His aim was to flee.
Facing You Wanying, he had some advantages.
After all, he was unafraid of her Poison Skill; her poisons could be easily blocked by the Unceasing Skill.
But that wasn’t enough to completely withstand her attacks.
Up in the sky, countless Sword Shadows had already appeared.
After comprehending the Law, all of Shen Han’s Sword Techniques had advanced a step further.
At the same time, Shen Han summoned his Divine Soul.
The Six Paths of Shattered Souls manifested a sword edge in hand, beginning to tangle with You Wanying.
While Shen Han began madly striking at the barriers.
On the poisonous fog barrier, cracks had already turned into gaps.
In an instant, a hole was ripped open at the gap.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Shen Han immediately escaped the encirclement of the poisonous fog barrier.
You Wanying’s face turned extremely dark, with even a hint of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
She could not afford to let Shen Han escape.
You Wanying was confident in her own strength, assured she could take Shen Han’s life.
But Shen Han used various means to hold her back, avoiding direct confrontation.
You Wanying also worried about Shen Han’s Poison Sword, not daring to let loose completely.
In her hesitancy, Shen Han had already escaped her poisonous fog barrier.
Seeing this, You Wanying no longer held back at all, overwhelming pressure surged instantly toward him.
She ignored everything around her, only wanting Shen Han dead.
The harsh might of the Law crushed the surrounding trees.
But in the next moment, a mighty pressure retaliated back at You Wanying.
Shen Han not only withstood the pressure but also counterattacked!
The Spirit Devouring Mirror could indeed block You Wanying, but Shen Han’s strength was insufficient to fully unleash its power.
Though unable to injure You Wanying, it could already impede her.
Around You Wanying, Shen Han’s Divine Soul still tangled with her.
These Divine Souls couldn’t possibly stop You Wanying.
In less than ten breaths, all the Six Paths of the Divine Soul were extinguished.
Yet within those ten breaths, Shen Han had already vanished...
The surroundings fell into silence, with no beast or bird daring to make a sound.
Shen Han, she had lost him...
Those who practiced the Old Cultivation Method had their breath concealed, appearing like ordinary people.
Aside from having a constitution stronger than common folk, other traits were entirely masked.
Having lost him like this, finding him again would be like finding a unique grain of sand in a heap.
"Ah!!!"
A roar of anger served only to frighten the surrounding spies, to no other effect.
Shen Han, had actually escaped from You Wanying’s grasp...
Even the spies took a while to snap out of it.
They couldn’t help but exchange glances, feeling somewhat unreal.
From each of their Sound Transmission Magical Artifacts, voices from their sects questioned continuously.
Demanding to know what would happen next.
What ought to have been a one-sided situation, surprisingly became rather intense in reality.
It was evident that Shen Han couldn’t harm You Wanying.
You Wanying’s strength was obviously greater than Shen Han’s.
Yet in their recent skirmish, Shen Han deployed various strange means, countering You Wanying.
Clearly stronger by a large margin, yet she was consistently restrained and pulled by Shen Han.
Finally, Shen Han had managed to escape...
The Old Cultivation Method had always allowed for easier concealing, and now Shen Han’s figure was no longer visible, confirming that You Wanying had indeed let him slip.
At this moment, Shen Han did not rest, traveling eastward continuously.
He didn’t fly ahead but instead immersed himself into the forested mountains.
His breath wasn’t exuded like others, making the task of apprehending him almost impossible.
After sprinting for two "two-hour" periods, Shen Han finally slowed his pace a little.
Gasping for breath, Shen Han took out the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact to communicate with Shi Yuezhu.
"I’ve shaken off You Wanying, I’m fine."
That soft statement made Shi Yuezhu, holding the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact, tears welling up in her eyes.
The cultivation path was always risky, but Shen Han’s perilous actions filled her with concern.
"That’s good, that’s good...
We’re heading east too, haven’t found a good place to settle yet."
"It’s alright, I’m heading east as well.
No need to worry about me, just continue with the original plan."
Still on the run, there was little time for idle talk.
After ending the conversation, Shen Han continued heading east at a quick pace.
The location of Tiger Peak Manor was on the west side of the Southern Heaven Continent.
Heading east, the urgency from neighboring sects and You Wanying would diminish.
After entering the Southern Heaven Continent, everything would change.
You Wanying and Hui Taoist would no longer be able to search as they did in Great Wei.
Each sect naturally had its territory and wouldn’t permit casual intrusion.
Especially not from an Illusion Realm expert like You Wanying; she certainly wouldn’t be allowed free rein.
Most areas in the Southern Heaven Continent were places You Wanying couldn’t freely access.
Five Immortals City.
Gathered in Sect Leader Nalan Xing’s courtyard, a group of high-ranking members listened as the Guardian relayed the situation.
At this moment, Shen Xiang couldn’t hold back, snatching the Sound Transmission Jade and questioning the Guardian sharply.
"Be clear, you’re sure Shen Han escaped?
With You Wanying herself taking action, how could Shen Han have gotten away?"
He was reluctant to believe this reality.
Upon hearing that Shen Han was confronted by You Wanying, Shen Xiang assumed the conclusion was clear; Shen Han wouldn’t survive.
But now...
"Clearly witnessed, Shen Han indeed escaped, and now he is completely out of sight.
Shen Han employed many odd techniques and seemed entirely unafraid of You Wanying’s poison.
I even feel that You Wanying seemed to be hurt..."
On the other end of the Sound Transmission Jade, the Guardian’s voice was unwavering, leaving no ambiguity.
"Pay attention to your safety and return first."
Nalan Xing took the Sound Transmission Jade, speaking softly to the other side.
Compared to Shen Xiang, Nalan Xing appeared more considerate.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your concern. I am documenting everything seen and heard, to avoid forgetting later.
Once back at the sect, it will be available for review."
The confrontation between You Wanying and Shen Han was expected to be uneventful.
Yet in the end, Shen Han managed to escape.
This battle is certainly worth studying.
The insights could be pivotal to boosting one’s strength.
The Guardian’s confident account left little doubt.
Shen Han had truly escaped from You Wanying’s hand.
Elder Si Zhi’s face again displayed a faint smile.
Taking two steps forward to stand before Shen Xiang, he spoke.
"Brother Shen was right, we shouldn’t have protected Shen Han.
But it’s not because he lacked potential, but rather because we lack vision; he doesn’t need it anyway.
Among the young, who else can escape from You Wanying?
If he doesn’t have potential, who does?"
Elder Si Zhi’s words left Shen Xiang speechless.
Shen Xiang’s mind was a turmoil; he didn’t want to concede Shen Han’s excellence.
Yet, at the moment, he found no words to refute.
