299: Chapter 299 Confrontation with a High-Level Battle Saint? Back and Forth

"What do you mean by that, little friend Gu Han?"

Yao Lao's startled voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.

Xiao Yan was still immersed in the powerful strength Gu Han had displayed, having suppressed the Hall of Souls' Ninth Celestial, who possessed the strength of a seven-star Dou Zun, with just a wave of his hand. He finally snapped out of it.

"Teacher, is there a problem?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.

"Old Demon Tianming is an established High-Level Semi-Saint," Yao Lao explained to Xiao Yan. "Fairy Qing and Fairy Hua of the Flower Sect are both Intermediate Half-Saints, and the attributes of the Cultivation Technique and Dou Qi they Cultivate are countered by Old Demon Tianming."

"Back then, even when the Qinghua Two Immortals joined forces, they could only barely block Old Demon Tianming. Combined with the friends I called upon to gain an advantage at the middle and high levels, we were able to end the war between the two Sects. Even so, Fairy Hua suffered significant injuries."

"When Han Feng ambushed me back then, I was still considering how to refine a type of Medicinal Pill to treat Fairy Hua's injuries."

"If Fairy Qing were to come alone, she would likely be no match for Old Demon Tianming."

But from what Gu Han implied, it seemed Fairy Qing alone could block Old Demon Tianming.

Could it be that Fairy Qing has also stepped into the High-Level Semi-Saint level and found a way to deal with being countered by Old Demon Tianming's attribute?

"Ridiculous! Even when the Qinghua Two Immortals joined forces, this venerable one did not fear them. What can a mere Fairy Qing do?" Old Demon Tianming's voice resounded throughout the sky above the Starfall Pavilion, instantly bringing with it gusts of eerie wind.

"Is that so?" Gu Han sneered. "Then how is it that you, a dignified High-Level Semi-Saint, couldn't even manage to rescue Blood Pupil Old Demon before I acted?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions in many people's eyes changed.

From a nine-star Peak Dou Zun to a Peak Dou Zun, one has stepped into another level.

This could be seen from how Hua Lan could easily suppress Blood Pupil Old Demon; it was a total suppression of Realm.

And after the Nine Revolutions to Sainthood, a certain opportunity is needed to condense the tenth revolution, which is to step into the Half-Saint level.

A High-Level Semi-Saint is truly only half a step away from being a Dou Sheng, just waiting to cross over.

In front of Old Demon Tianming, Gu Han was completely insufficient.

Therefore, Gu Han's words were worth pondering.

"Rumble!"

The world suddenly fell silent; Old Demon Tianming seemed unsure how to answer this question.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath. Even Dou Zun Experts like Thunder Venerable, Yellow Spring Venerable, and Sword Venerable didn't dare to make a sound.

Until a burst of blood-colored blade glow suddenly erupted from the Void Realm several miles away, followed by the appearance of a figure completely shrouded in blood, with a pair of blood-red eyes that seemed to contain a sea of blood.

Along with this person's appearance, a thick, nauseating smell of blood swept across the area like a tidal wave. Behind him, a sea of blood appeared, filled with various shrill screams.

This person held the Ninth Celestial in one hand, whose body was half-frozen and looked extremely wretched.

"Fourth Brother, avenge me! Kill him! No, put him into your blood river and make him wish he were dead!" Magic Rain's venomous voice echoed through the world.

It was only then that Yellow Spring Venerable suddenly reacted and shouted in terror, "This person is Venerable Blood River! Over a decade ago, he caused boundless slaughter in the Central Plains. Several Dou Zun Experts couldn't stand it and joined forces to surround and kill him, but they all suffered varying degrees of injury."

"Since then, everyone thought Venerable Blood River had fallen. I didn't expect him to have joined the Hall of Souls and even become the Fourth Celestial."

"At that time, his cultivation had reached the Peak of an eight-star Dou Zun. Now, he is likely even more terrifying!"

Hearing this, the expressions of Wind Venerable, Xiao Yan, and the others became serious.

The Hall of Souls had actually sent another Fourth Celestial. Did they truly plan to destroy the Starfall Pavilion once and for all?

"Little Yan, if things become impossible, you and little friend Gu Han should leave. I will activate the Starfall Pavilion's Sect Grand Array and make them pay a heavy price." Yao Chen's tone was filled with determination.

Although looking at the current lineups of both sides, they could still oppose each other.

However, the Hall of Souls was coming on strong and could call upon even more helpers, which would make them difficult to deal with.

"Teacher, I won't abandon you and leave alone!" Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with killing intent, his hands clenched in frustration.

"Don't worry." Wind Venerable seemed to sense Xiao Yan's situation and spoke up, "If it really doesn't work, we'll flee to the Heavenly Luan Clan for protection and wait until your teacher is resurrected before coming back to settle the score."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to ask how strong the Heavenly Luan Clan was, a raspy voice filled with slaughter echoed in the sky: "Magic Rain, you've really regressed as you've gotten older. You couldn't even handle a junior whose Realm is lower than yours, just a six-star Peak Dou Zun."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone below became very interesting.

Although they already had a premonition when Gu Han stepped forward to suppress Magic Rain.

But truly learning that this Snow Sword Young Master's cultivation had reached the six-star Peak Dou Zun level, they still couldn't help but marvel.

Doesn't this mean that this Snow Sword Young Master is not even nineteen years old, yet he is already a six-star Peak expert?

And a six-star Peak Dou Zun who could easily suppress a seven-star Dou Zun at that.

"Terrifying indeed," Wind Venerable said in shock. "A few months ago, his cultivation was still some distance from being a Dou Zun. I didn't expect his cultivation to be higher than mine now."

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I doubt even using cheats would be this impressive. This is truly top-tier talent and maximum luck."

"Fourth Brother." Magic Rain's face was extremely ugly, but he still explained, "This person is not even nineteen. As soon as he entered the Dou Zun level, he could kill the Tianming Sect's four-star Dou Zun, Evil Flower Demon Lord. Now he's already a six-star Dou Zun. He definitely has secrets on him. Capture him."

"Oh?" Blood River now took an interest in Gu Han. His gaze fell upon the latter as he spoke, "Kid, will you surrender yourself to suffer less, or shall this venerable one capture you personally?"

"Ridiculous!" Before Gu Han could speak, Hua Lan stepped on lotuses and walked through the Void Realm to the side of the ice throne, releasing her own aura. "Blood River, looking at your aura, you've also just stepped into the Peak Dou Zun level. How dare you boast so shamelessly?"

"Flower Sect Grand Elder Hua Lan!" A flash of surprise appeared in Blood River's blood-colored eyes. "You've actually reached this Realm? That means you've broken through the Death Seclusion. But Flower Sect's Hua Jin was heavily injured; did you rely on yourself?"

"This is the merit of our Flower Sect's Enshrined Elder." Hua Lan pointed out Gu Han's contribution, her voice cold. "If you want to move against Elder Gu Han, then prepare for a life-and-death struggle with my Flower Sect."

"Your Hall of Souls is powerful, but the Pill Tower won't just watch you act recklessly. Do you really dare to offend my Flower Sect as well?"

Blood River cold-snorted.

If it weren't for the opportunity the Hall Chief had, the Hall of Souls wouldn't fear offending all the top factions at once.

Gu Han was also well aware of this, so he was not afraid at all and continued to provoke, "You won't be able to achieve anything this time. Blood Pupil Old Demon's fall should serve as a lesson. Now, get lost."

Blood Pupil Old Demon was doomed to die.

And for Magic Rain, he had already planted a certain-death method.

If he truly angered the Hall of Souls and they sent several Half-Saints or even Dou Shengs, he wouldn't be able to fight them off now.

He would only be able to take everyone and hide in the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm, or have Zi Yan and Xuan Yin call for backup from the Void Ancient Dragon clan.

To be honest, if things developed into a chaotic war, it wasn't what he wanted to see.

For Gu Han, every bit of extra time for development was good.

Before the Hun Clan began their Thousand-year plan, he had to acquire as much strength as possible to contend with Hun Tiandi.

It would be best to prioritize breaking through to become a Dou Di; that would be true success!
