Chapter 563: Chapter 506: Tempting Fate
"I feel like you’re asking for it!"
The Artifact Spirit’s face was long and drawn.
It had just praised Han Yu, saying life should be full of excitement. But it was just a boast, and now he looked all eager, which was terrifying.
Moreover, this time Han Yu seemed bent on poking the tiger, courting death.
It thought it necessary to persuade him again, "Why not just let it go? It’s not easy to escape. If you get yourself killed instead, you’ll have nowhere to cry."
Han Yu toyed with the pill in his hand and suddenly wondered, "Didn’t you always say you’re just a tiny bit away from shaping? Could it be that you’re exactly one pill short?"
The Artifact Spirit was taken aback, having been on the run, it had really put off the matter of shaping itself. Reminded by Han Yu, it quickly checked, and its face fell.
Damn it, still just a tiny bit short.
Always just a tiny bit short.
Then it looked at Han Yu fiddling with the pill, its small face longing, "How about a little risk?"
This wasn’t because Han Yu was getting cocky, but because this pill was just perfect for screwing people over, especially against three such powerful old guys. Not using such a pill on them felt like a waste.
Demon Slaying Pill: After igniting this pill, a mystical aura forms naturally. In a mile’s radius, all living beings gain an opportunity for Dao enlightenment, forcing them into a grand dao comprehension. Side effect: During enlightenment, Heart Demon detaches and takes away half of one’s ability; please slay and reclaim it promptly.
"Aren’t these bastards fond of chasing people around? I’ll let them chase to their heart’s content."
Imagining the effects of the pill, Han Yu, although unsure of what would actually happen, feared that the end result would be utter chaos for those chasing him.
Losing half of one’s abilities?
Imagine if things went wrong and they couldn’t catch it back, what a mess that would be.
That alone was reason enough for Han Yu to take a risk.
Weakening the opponents by half their abilities would definitely give Xin Zui and the three old guys a big surprise.
On the other side.
Xin Zui and others, still fumbling around the sea like headless flies, suddenly saw a spot over the sea where the night turned bright as day.
In the pitch-black night, such a commotion naturally stood out significantly.
"That brat is over there!"
Xin Zui glanced at the horizon, his eyes instantly lighting up.
That was just caused by Fire Divine Power, undoubtedly.
Goodness, is this a provocation?
Gu Feng and the doctor were secretly astounded. If the other side’s brains weren’t scrambled, then they clearly had something to rely on.
Having just escaped, instead of lying low and hiding, they lit up the sky like they were asking for death.
Could it be that this guy has some backing, or an ambush set up?
Gu Feng was deeply puzzled, unable to comprehend the opponent’s intentions.
But the doctor was overjoyed; Han Yu jumping out was a good thing! If he jumped out himself, there’d be no need for them to go looking for him, tired and frustrated.
"What do you guys think this brat wants to do?"
Trusting someone, Xin Zui wasn’t foolish. Han Yu’s blatant exposure of his location seemed like he wasn’t afraid of being found.
To say there wasn’t any scheme involved, even a fool wouldn’t believe it.
An ambush?
Is there an ambush?
At this thought, Xin Zui couldn’t help but laugh. In the Endless Sea Domain, besides them, there were only the twelve cultivators of the Celestial Dao Sect left.
Normally, maybe a few from the Yama Hall could really be ambushed.
But now it’s different, the three of them are the strongest in the Endless Sea Domain.
Don’t even mention an ambush, even if the Celestial Dao Sect encountered just one of them, they’d turn tail and flee.
"Courting death!"
Wuyin kept it short and to the point.
To him, no matter what setups might be there, they were nonetheless just paper tigers in the face of absolute strength.
So the three did not pause, immediately turning around to pursue as soon as they noticed the commotion.
"Should we follow this time?"
The doctor internally debated whether to follow, imagining if something unexpected happened again, he’d be inviting more trouble for himself.
"Do you really think that brat could escape from under those three’s noses again?"
Gu Feng retorted from the side.
It indeed seemed to be giving the opponent too much credit.
If Han Yu could repeatedly escape from Xin Zui and the others, they might as well bash their heads against a block of tofu.
The doctor pondered, it seemed impossible; even if Han Yu was bizarre beyond reason, he couldn’t defy logic.
The two exchanged a few simple words and decided to continue the pursuit.
...
The commotion over the sea also didn’t escape the notice of a nearby split soul.
This guy, still hopping around?
It’s just absurd that he’s fine even now.
"Is that Han Yu?"
Liu Zongyuan spoke weakly, somewhat incredulous.
It’s been a day already; how could Han Yu still be running?
Not just running, this bastard was also frighteningly good at pursuing.
Having been bested by him several times, this split soul had the most authority to speak on the matter.
By now, Xin Zui and the others must have lost considerable face, having not captured him yet.
Could something bizarre be upon them again?
The split soul wondered with trepidation.
He knew best that whenever encountering Han Yu, all sorts of bizarre things could happen at any moment.
But, this was fine—let them play!
The two areas were conveniently far apart, with all the commotion there pulling everyone over there, leaving no worries about encounters on this side.
Jubilant at this thought, the split soul, carrying Liu Zongyuan, stepped forward without further concern, boldly advancing as wind howled around them.
As he closed in on the deserted island, he was suddenly filled with two emotions.
One was an extreme excitement, definitely originating from himself.
The other was fear, which spread more the closer he got.
This must be shared from the other head’s split soul.
The problem with the Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill was indeed growing larger.
The split soul couldn’t wait to carry out his own speculations.
Meanwhile, among the three avatars on the deserted island, sensing the approach of this split soul, they trembled like leaves in the wind, begging incessantly with words of surrender.
Especially diverse, bottom-line-breaching pleas.
These three avatars truly dared to try any chance for survival. In just moments, beyond not revealing the territories of Xin Zui and the three, everything else was exposed by the avatars.
Now even the old Taoist began to be curious about what could have happened to Liu Zongyuan’s split soul over there.
It could scare these avatars into such a state.
In the past, even torture couldn’t extract such information, yet now these three avatars spilled their guts like beans.
Indeed, the Celestial Dao Sect’s side had reaped a great advantage.
Less than a moment later, the array on the deserted island suddenly distorted.
After a ripple spread, the split soul finally returned with the half-alive Liu Zongyuan.
At this moment, the four avatars were gathered, and the Celestial Dao Sect subconsciously moved, surrounding the newcomers without thinking.
"Wait."
Liu Zongyuan weakly stopped them, having reached a consensus with this split soul, naturally not intending to truly fight.
"I’ve reached an agreement with this split soul here, so everyone hold off."
Having spoken, he reiterated the terms of the agreement.
The crowd listened, exchanging incredulous looks like hearing a fable.
So, the avatars on both sides had split?
That explained the previous scene, yet made matters seem even stranger.
"Do you think the favor you mentioned is genuine?"
The old Taoist pondered for a moment, then looked at the somewhat unusual split soul, speaking up.
The split soul nodded, "Naturally, it can be genuine. Help me this time, and the next I will repay you."
