Scorpion

Chapter 1503 His Cowardice Came Swiftly

The blind dragon's voice carried a soul attack, and the sudden assault caused Han Xiang immense pain.

However, Han Xiang was, after all, a Heavenly realm expert, and her soul cultivation was not weak. She quickly gritted her teeth and endured.

Upon seeing the blind dragon again, Han Xiang's eyes flickered with solemnity, clearly showing her deep apprehension towards him.

The next moment, she swung her ice-blue long sword again, and gradually, the sword became enveloped in endless ice, causing its volume to increase severalfold.

"Kid, don't think I'm easy to bully! Die!"

As the blind dragon pressed closer, Han Xiang roared, and the giant ice-blue sword instantly slashed towards him.

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted, and the walls of the entire great hall crumbled. Only the skeletal structure of the buildings and the statues remained, still shaking.

Concurrently, the potent spiritual energy directly sent Ye Cangtian flying, causing him to crash heavily outside the hall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

On the other side, Han Xiang was not faring any better. Due to the blind dragon's influence, her attack failed to unleash its full power.

Thus, she too was shaken, her face pale, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She retreated dozens of meters before managing to stabilize herself.

"Kid, your injuries are more severe than mine. If we continue fighting, you'll be the one to lose!"

"So, you'd best consider carefully. If you willingly stay, it will be beneficial for both of us!"

Han Xiang's gaze fell upon Ye Cangtian, and she let out a cold smile.

Her anger had subsided considerably by now, and her killing intent towards Ye Cangtian had also weakened. Therefore, if he were to stay, she was willing to give him another chance. m..oΓg

"Hmph! You haven't won yet, so stop dreaming!"

Ye Cangtian snorted coldly, managed to stand up, and swung his Death Scythe again.

"This is..."

A series of long sighs echoed, inexplicably evoking a sense of melancholy and regret. Everyone fighting stopped, their eyes filled with confusion.

Even Lan Yue was no exception.

Having fought alongside Ye Cangtian in numerous campaigns, she was very familiar with his moves.

However, looking at Ye Cangtian at this moment, she had no idea what he was doing. Could her junior brother be using a new technique?

At the same time, in Han Xiang's distant gaze, there was also profound solemnity.

She could sense the power of this move constantly escalating, reaching an intensity she could not resist.

It could be said that as long as Ye Cangtian completed this move, even if she used all her might, the outcome would undoubtedly be defeat.

This was precisely what puzzled her: why could the other party unleash such a formidable technique!

Pfft!

To everyone's surprise, at that very instant, Ye Cangtian spat out a mouthful of blood. The technique he had just conjured dissipated before it could be unleashed.

"Junior Brother!"

"Boss!"

Seeing this scene, Lan Yue and Yao Bao'er exclaimed in alarm and were about to rush towards Ye Cangtian.

"I'm fine!"

Ye Cangtian glanced at the two women. With a formidable enemy still present, he could not allow them to venture into danger.

"Hahaha..."

Just then, Han Xiang on the opposite side let out a cold laugh.

She pointed at Ye Cangtian mockingly, saying, "Kid, you've suffered a backlash, haven't you? To rashly use a technique you haven't comprehended, you're courting death!"

"Hmph!"

Ye Cangtian snorted lightly. What the other party said was correct.

What Ye Cangtian was displaying was precisely the fourth stance of the Thirteen Forms of the Death Scythe, the Sighing Wind Flow!

He had a partial understanding of this move before. Now, facing a formidable enemy, he had intended to try and unleash it to achieve a decisive victory.

However, his first attempt ended in failure.

He was unsure if it was due to his injuries or insufficient comprehension of the move.

Still, the other party's smug look of certainty genuinely annoyed him.

The next moment, Ye Cangtian glanced over and said, "Han Xiang, do you think you've already won?"

"What do you think?"

"You were already injured, and now you've suffered a backlash, which is adding injury upon injury. How can you fight me now?"

"I advise you to stay put obediently! All the conditions I mentioned earlier are still valid!"

Han Xiang smiled triumphantly. Although Ye Cangtian had been backlashed by the killing move, this made her even more convinced that Ye Cangtian was definitely a potential asset.

The reason was simple: the moment he unleashed his move, she had felt fear.

If Ye Cangtian were given time to grow, he would surely be able to master that move, perhaps even becoming an unparalleled expert.

If that were the case, he might be able to help her break the seal and restore her true freedom!

"Han Xiang, you're thinking too much. I have plenty of trump cards!"

Hearing Han Xiang's words, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then extended his large hand, slowly opening it.

"What!"

Upon seeing what was in Ye Cangtian's palm, Han Xiang froze instantly. There were three extremely ancient seals, emitting different glows.

Although she had been resurrected, she still had some recollection of the three seals.

They were, unmistakably, the legendary Dark Seal, the Imperial Dragon Seal, and the Chaos Seal from ancient times!

Judging by the light emitted from the three seals and the pressure they exerted on her, these three seals were absolutely genuine.

"Kid, you win. I won't keep you any longer. Hurry and leave!"

Han Xiang suddenly gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

She did possess some memories of the abilities of the three seals, but these were not her primary concern.

After all, Ye Cangtian was heavily injured, and even with the assistance of the three seals, he might not be her match.

However, she was extremely wary of the person behind the three seals.

In ancient times, various races vied for the Four Seals. Those who obtained the Four Seals were undoubtedly top-tier experts in the world, someone she could not contend with.

The fact that Ye Cangtian could control three seals meant he must have defeated the original owner to obtain them.

This suggested that Ye Cangtian likely possessed other trump cards.

It was with this thought that Han Xiang abandoned the idea of keeping him. She did not want Ye Cangtian to reveal his trump cards.

After all, many people's trump cards were meant to be kept secret. Once seen by an opponent, they would undoubtedly choose to eliminate the witness.

She feared that Ye Cangtian possessed such a trump card, which could bring her a life-threatening danger.

"What? You're backing down just by seeing three seals?"

Ye Cangtian, slightly taken aback by her words, asked playfully.

"Of course I'm backing down!"

"Those are the Dark Seal, the Imperial Dragon Seal, and the Chaos Seal. With their assistance, I am no match for you!"

Han Xiang was very shrewd. She did not press Ye Cangtian about his other trump cards, but instead used the opportunity to step down, stating it matter-of-factly with wide eyes.

"Heh heh."

Ye Cangtian was not surprised that Han Xiang recognized the three seals, as she was also a human from ancient times, so knowing these was not unusual.

He smiled and said, "You let me go, but I have no intention of letting you off! You've beaten me up so badly, and without some compensation, this matter likely won't be easily resolved!"

Ye Cangtian was not one to suffer losses. Since the other party had conceded, he certainly wouldn't miss the chance to extort them.

"You..."

Han Xiang's face instantly turned red. She truly hadn't expected him to be so greedy.

After all, if she pushed him too far and the fight continued, what good would it bring him?

Despite thinking this, she still felt a degree of apprehension towards Ye Cangtian, so she asked, "What kind of compensation do you want?"

Hmm?

A mischievous smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face. He quickly said, "I'm not one to hold grudges. As long as you give me some divine-grade pills and some inherited techniques, then our past grievances will be settled!"

What!

At his words, Han Xiang's eyes widened. Wasn't this equivalent to treating her like a fat sheep to be fleeced?

Thinking this, she gritted her teeth and replied, "I don't have divine-grade pills. I don't know alchemy, only a few Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, but I can't give them to you. They are for my own backup!"

"As for inherited techniques, I apologize! I only pass down my techniques to my disciples!" Han Xiang added.

"If you say that, then you're making things difficult for me!"

Hearing Han Xiang's words, Ye Cangtian furrowed his brows slightly and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into the three seals.

The next moment, the phantom images of the three seals floated in the air.

The implication was clear: he had given her a chance, but she lacked sincerity, so they would have to resolve this by force.

"You..."

Feeling the weakening aura from the three seals, Han Xiang immediately became nervous. The weakening effect of these three seals on her far exceeded her imagination.
