Chapter 697: Chapter 308
Han Wangshan let out a soul-piercing howl.
His body expanded and transformed dramatically within the light, the Forbidden Technique talisman seemed to come alive, merging with his flesh and bones, resonating with the chaotic spatial energy of the Boundary River.
Rumble——!
A dazzling brilliance shot skyward, blinding everyone.
As the light dispersed, Han Wangshan’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
In his place was a massive, ancient vessel constructed entirely of some translucent energy!
The ship was about a hundred yards long, flowing with misty spatial ripples, emitting a stable and gentle power, slightly calming the chaotic currents of the Boundary River.
This was not merely a flying boat. It was a loophole Han Wangshan found over the years through Yubian, studying the myriad streams converging on the Grand Array of the Boundary Bridge.
A method utilizing the power of the Boundary Bridge without crossing it directly.
The flying boat rested on the Boundary River, yet it could withstand the terrifying spatial turbulence of the Boundary River.
Yuan Bo and Yu Qing witnessed this scene and intended to step forward, but to their surprise, the boat did not receive them.
As for crossing the Boundary River, it was impossible; even Saints hardly dared to cross the Boundary River with just their bodies.
Though they stood at the peak of the two-stage realm, with their own unique sacred aura within them.
It was still impossible to cross the Boundary River unharmed.
Thus, they could only stand on the Boundary Bridge.
...
Xu Guang was greatly shocked.
He recalled Han Wangshan previously mentioning that the Dragon Elephant Demon had its current power because of his support, and now it seemed true.
His talent far exceeded anything Xu Guang had seen.
While others felt little for Han Wangshan’s sacrifice, Xu Guang felt differently.
He had seen firsthand how the other valued life and feared death, yet still strived to survive.
But now Han Wangshan was willing to transform into a ferry for others to cross the river in front of everyone.
Subconsciously, he looked at the Dragon Elephant Demon.
Disbelief filled the other’s face.
His disappointment was not feigned.
Presumably, he didn’t know in advance either.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han."
Most people didn’t even know who Han Wangshan was, but the strange vessel on the Boundary River was clearly able to isolate the Boundary River’s power, keeping even Yuan Bo and Yu Qing away.
"Mr. Xu, get on the boat!"
Master Qingsong was overjoyed, realizing the Power of Reception coming from the flying boat, and couldn’t help but call to Xu Guang.
It wasn’t out of concern.
In fact, at this point, whether Xu Guang had a Saint backing him was no longer important.
The situation was one of doing everything in their power to survive and cross the bridge!
As for calling out to Xu Guang, it was simply because Han Wangshan knew him, and they worried he might not board the boat, causing the flying boat to malfunction.
Nothing more.
Everyone is selfish.
Xu Guang took a deep breath, suppressing his inner shock, as Qing Si frantically tangled with him, refusing to let him take a step forward.
But Qing Si couldn’t stop Xu Guang.
Bang!!!
The Five Emperors Reincarnation Seal collided with the nine-section whip filled with life energy in Qing Si’s hand, causing the Boundary Bridge to shake.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Guang stepped forward, taking everything Han Wangshan left behind, and then used his demonic thoughts to capture Yan Ruge.
He leaped towards the flying boat.
The Power of Reception from the flying boat allowed him to cross the Boundary River for a brief moment.
He could feel the unstable power on the flying boat.
Time was of the essence.
Landing.
Boarding the flying boat.
Master Qingsong approached, Source Qi radiating from him to stabilize the boat.
"Hurry, this flying boat is powered by the power Han Wangshan stole from the Grand Array on the Boundary Bridge. Yuan Bo and Yu Qing will surely repair the array, and we must reach the other side before they do!"
"Or else..."
The rest needed no further explanation, as everyone understood what it meant.
Once Yuan Bo and Yu Qing reassembled the Grand Array, drifting lost on the Boundary River would be inevitable.
Xu Guang said little, only looking toward the distant Dragon Elephant Demon entangled with Yu Qing.
He took a deep breath.
’This newly formed Five Emperors Reincarnation Seal seems to be falling apart again...’
Not to mention that the Dragon Elephant Demon could very well be General Wei’s uncle, just being Han Wangshan’s friend made him worth all that effort.
...
"You can’t escape!"
Yu Qing’s first words during the battle with the Dragon Elephant Demon.
Despite Yuan Bo’s sudden departure to restore the array due to Han Wangshan’s theft of the array’s power, Yu Qing’s strength still surpassed the injured Dragon Elephant Demon.
The Dragon Elephant Demon’s face remained expressionless, the frenzy from earlier battles fully restrained, and Han Wangshan’s death dealt him a heavy blow.
Han Wangshan hadn’t deceived Xu Guang.
What he had today, he owed greatly to Han Wangshan, whose support was invaluable to him after his father’s fall, the Holy Land of the Ancient Elephant Clan’s destruction, and the scattering and coveting of the pure-blooded Ancient Elephants.
Walking the demon’s path was never his intention.
Han Wangshan had given him a chance to transform from a Demon back to a Demon Beast.
He had always been grateful to Han Wangshan.
But now...
He became increasingly silent, yet his strikes grew stronger.
But no matter how hard he tried, Yu Qing seemed able to casually intercept them.
"What are you holding back? Your power isn’t pure."
Yu Qing said again.
The Dragon Elephant Demon remained silent.
