Qin Hanchu and the other three did not answer; they seemed to be struggling to resist.
Various powers of law crisscrossed, their roars echoing through the misty forest.
Unknowingly, the battle had already lasted for more than half an hour.
Seeing Qin Hanchu's group shrinking, the six on the opposite side grew even more excited.
Killing Qin Hanchu and the other three would fetch a considerable sum for just those four immortal artifacts alone.
After all, their immortal artifacts were all items of high-level laws.
"Still not handing over the Misty Immortal Flower?"
"Since you seek death, then don't blame us."
Observing Qin Hanchu's increasingly panicked counterattacks, the six grew more elated.
"Who shall we start with?"
Just then, Qin Hanchu transmitted his thoughts to Axiang and the other two.
Axiang replied, "Let's start with the weaker ones. Our chances will be greater!"
"How do we do it?" Longzhu asked.
"I'll block five of them with Longzhu, and Axiang will join forces with Hanchu to kill the woman in white," Ancestor Baili suggested.
"So be it!"
With that, Qin Hanchu feigned defeat and was repelled to Axiang's side.
At that moment, Ancestor Baili and Longzhu suddenly unleashed powerful martial techniques.
Their Samsara Immortal Plates erupted with resplendent light, followed by two terrifying forces surging towards the five opponents.
The five were startled by the horrifying martial techniques of the duo.
Concurrently, Qin Hanchu and Axiang also launched their attacks.
Qin Hanchu directly activated the second move of the Life and Death Sword Scripture.
Axiang's Samsara Immortal Plate shot out a bloody sword light.
"Damn it!"
Only then did the warrior being attacked by Qin Hanchu and Axiang curse in terror.
Axiang's attack was extremely potent, repelling his counterattack and shattering fifty percent of his defensive power.
Qin Hanchu's sword move followed closely behind.
*Pfft!*
Qin Hanchu's attack first shattered the man's defense, then directly inflicted a severe wound.
Just as this happened, Axiang's second wave of attacks arrived.
When fighting at full strength individually, Qin Hanchu and Axiang could hold their own against this opponent.
With their combined might, they naturally possessed the strength to crush him.
The other five wanted to provide assistance, but Longzhu and Ancestor Baili entangled them.
By the time the five broke free from Longzhu and Ancestor Baili's attacks, their comrade's physical body had already been destroyed.
As his immortal infant attempted to flee, it was shattered by Qin Hanchu's Life and Death sword light.
Having just killed the opponent, Qin Hanchu proceeded to assist Longzhu and Ancestor Baili.
Axiang waved her hand and collected the spoils, while Jingpin followed to reinforce them.
"Go!"
Seeing their companion killed, the five on the opposite side were filled with both rage and shock.
It was only then that they realized Qin Hanchu and his group had been deliberately feigning weakness.
Through the recent exchange, they had finally witnessed the strength of Qin Hanchu and his companions.
Not only did they possess terrifying martial techniques, but Axiang's item was actually a mid-grade immortal artifact.
Although they still had five members, they found it difficult to secure a victory against Qin Hanchu and his group.
Continuing the fight would only result in mutual destruction, which was not the outcome they desired.
Following the command of their leader, the five quickly disengaged and retreated into the distance.
Qin Hanchu and his group did not pursue.
Unless Qin Hanchu revealed the Mu Qing Sword and the Violet Heaven Immortal Lightning Law, it would be impossible to achieve another quick kill.
Even if Qin Hanchu were to reveal his trump cards, it was not guaranteed that he could kill all five.
Therefore, they chose to cut their losses.
Killing one person was already a considerable gain.
"One hundred Law Crystals, one Misty Immortal Flower, and a low-grade immortal artifact of the Metal attribute."
"Additionally, there are some immortal medicines and minerals."
"We can make use of three of them."
The Sovereign World possessed true storage rings.
The storage rings in the Great World were merely teleportation arrays.
However, the storage rings in the Sovereign World were true self-contained spaces.
Axiang displayed the spoils.
"Should we divide them or store them centrally?" Longzhu inquired.
Qin Hanchu replied, "You two discuss this matter; we as a couple will not offer an opinion."
Ancestor Baili stated, "Let's keep them centrally stored in Axiang's possession, and we'll divide them after returning to the city."
Longzhu nodded, "Agreed, I support that."
"Then keep them with me. I will show you all the spoils I acquire each time," Axiang said.
After a brief conversation, the four of them continued their search for Misty Immortal Flowers in the misty marsh.
The five who had fled earlier did not reappear; they were simply bullies who picked on the weak.
Knowing that Qin Hanchu's group was not to be trifled with, they dared not show themselves again.
They had found one Misty Immortal Flower earlier and then snatched another from the opponents.
It took Qin Hanchu's group a full month to find the remaining two.
With the Misty Immortal Flowers secured, the four ascended and set off for their next destination.
As soon as they left the misty marsh, a middle-aged man descended.
"Gone?"
Looking at the compass in his hand, the middle-aged man rapidly pursued the direction Qin Hanchu's group had taken.
Within an hour, Qin Hanchu and his companions sensed someone rapidly approaching from behind.
"Qin Hanchu, stop."
At this moment, Qin Hanchu heard a transmission.
He frowned and transmitted to Axiang and the other two, "This person is looking for me. It appears to be someone from the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion."
Qin Hanchu had no acquaintances in the Immortal Sea Main Realm, and his only connection was with the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion.
Furthermore, Qin Hanchu saw the emblem of the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion on this person.
Stopping their movement, Qin Hanchu and his group quietly waited for the person to arrive.
Before long, the middle-aged man arrived before the four.
"Qin Hanchu, I am an envoy from the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion."
"I need to ask you a few questions regarding the Immortal Slaying Realm."
The middle-aged man stated.
"Please proceed."
Since this middle-aged man was at the Immortal Venerable realm, Qin Hanchu was relatively polite.
"How did you get out of the Immortal Slaying Realm?"
"Did you happen to see the Thunder God Wood?"
The middle-aged man inquired.
"I also don't know how I got out of the Immortal Slaying Realm."
"I thought I would return after the allotted time even if I didn't find the Thunder God Wood, but I didn't expect the dignified Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion to be deceitful."
"After staring at the Immortal Slaying Realm for so many years, I ultimately returned inexplicably."
"I suspect someone obtained the Thunder God Wood and consequently gained control of the Immortal Slaying Realm."
"As for who it was, I have no knowledge."
"If I knew who it was, I would thank him profusely."
"Without him, I would not have regained my freedom."
Qin Hanchu replied.
"Where did your power of law come from?"
"And what kind of law is it?"
Although Qin Hanchu was mocking the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion, the middle-aged man acted as if he heard nothing.
"I obtained the Heart of a Great World, and then I sacrificed it to the Spirit of Heavenly Dao of that Great World."
"My Law of Life and Death is the reward for the Great World's advancement."
As he spoke, Qin Hanchu released his Law of Life and Death.
As for the Violet Heaven Immortal Lightning Law, as long as Qin Hanchu did not proactively expose it, others would not be able to detect it.
Sensing Qin Hanchu's Law of Life and Death, the middle-aged man said solemnly, "Do you have any suspects? Who is most likely to have obtained the Thunder God Wood?"
