65: Chapter 65 The Shocked Battle Emperor! Unexpected Benefits

"Surely it's not that much?"

Thinking about Gu Han's performance recently—either cultivating or having the good luck to obtain various resources—Ling Ying felt his own thoughts were off.

If Gu Han knew his thoughts, he would definitely tell him: "The person others see in you may not be you; the person you see in others is most likely yourself."

"This distance is just right."

Sweeping his gaze around, Gu Han walked to a corner and crouched down, returning to the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm with a thought.

Releasing his soul perception, the situation in the inn clearly entered his mind like a radar's monochromatic 3D imaging.

This wasn't the main point; the situation he saw in the Mittel Family station earlier was the same.

The point was that now, through visualizing the Xuanwu Shell, he could clearly perceive that burly man's soul fluctuations.

"Let's try. If it succeeds, there will be benefits tonight; if not, then forget it."

Gu Han seriously observed the state of the burly man and the Female Snake Person, sitting there silently like an old Daoist in meditation.

Ling Ying watched from a nearby roof, feeling a bit confused for a moment, not knowing what he was waiting for.

This wait lasted for half an hour.

"Now is the time!"

Gu Han perceived a new movement from the Female Snake Person inside the room.

During the entire dual cultivation process, the man remained lying down while the Female Snake Person was fully automatic.

At this moment, a unique Dou Qi rose and circulated between the two, and the Female Snake Person suddenly took out the bead that possessed two kinds of soul fluctuations.

Gu Han did not hesitate, condensing his Soul Power to transmit his voice into the burly man's mind, even simulating the pressure of a Dou Wang: "Wake up quickly, the snake woman has come for your life!"

By this time, the burly man had already had his fill of pleasure; under normal circumstances, he would have entered 'sage time' long ago.

It was only because his mental will was bewitched by the Female Snake Person that he had been lying there motionless.

Gu Han's voice, like a great bronze bell, resounded deep within his soul.

"Hmm?"

The man instantly regained clarity, breaking free from the restraint of the small green energy snakes.

The man also remembered everything that had just happened extremely clearly.

Looking at the woman sitting on him with a swaying snake tail and an exquisite upper body but a face as ugly as a Yaksha, the habits he had cultivated over many years made him mobilize the less than one-tenth of Dou Qi remaining in his body almost instantly to execute a Xuan-rank Low-tier Dou Technique.

"Fierce Tiger's Mad Roar!"

This was the strongest Dou Technique the man mastered. It could condense his own Dou Qi into the shape of a tiger's head to augment his fists or weapons, greatly increasing their power.

And at this very moment, in his desperation, the man for the first time augmented this tiger's head onto his innate 'staff'.

"He's awake!?"

Lisha was just about to activate the secret method to absorb the energy within the magic core crystal when she suddenly felt a fatal sense of danger.

Lowering her head, she found the man had already awakened. She raised her hand, wanting to knock him unconscious, but sensed a sudden surge of energy impact within her snake tail.

*Puff!*

Lisha felt her lower body suffer a heavy blow, and even her internal organs were damaged to varying degrees.

She was also decisive, condensing her Dou Qi and striking a palm toward the man with great force and weight.

*Crack!*

The man condensed his Dou Qi Gauze Armor and raised his hand to block.

The Dou Qi Gauze Armor was instantly shattered, and the man's arms bent in a bizarre fashion. The pain from the fractures caused him to let out a miserable scream.

Lisha used the force to leave the large bed, turning into a streak of green light as she fled toward the window.

"Ah!"

The tearing sensation from below made the man wish he were dead. For a moment, he didn't know if his arms hurt more or his lower half, and he eventually fainted.

*Bang!*

Lisha jumped out of the window and landed on the ground, feeling a chaotic surge of Dou Qi running wild in her dantian. This was the backlash caused by the failure of the secret method.

*Puff!* Instinctively spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lisha finally felt the situation inside her body stabilize slightly.

"Dammit!" Lisha turned back and gave the window a cold look.

She had stolen her tribe's sacred object and fled, being hunted by a Dou Wang leading several Dou Ling and some Great Dou Masters, yet her injuries then were not as severe as this time.

This mere Dou Master had actually woken up at the most critical moment, launching a critical strike into her body while she was completely off guard.

Without high-grade pills, she feared she wouldn't be able to recover for a year or two, and might even be left with permanent sequelae.

She wished she could go back and kill him, but thinking that the commotion the man made would surely attract people...

She currently didn't have enough Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python energy to transform her snake tail into legs; she would be caught immediately.

"I'll leave you your dog life, but you'll surely wish you were dead."

Lisha took out a third-grade pill and swallowed it. After recovering slightly, she flicked toward a side courtyard wall.

She didn't plan to return to the Mittel Merchant House Station, but intended to leave Qinghe Town directly and hide in the nearby Magical Beast Mountain Range.

With her cultivation as a peak Great Dou Master, even though she was now heavily injured, as long as she was careful not to enter the territory of a Fourth-rank Magical Beast, she would be fine.

But just as she jumped into mid-air, preparing to land on the wall to gain leverage, the sound of breaking air abruptly rang out behind her.

"Who!?"

Lisha turned her head sharply and saw a five-foot-large handprint coming head-on, overflowing with cold air that froze the atmosphere, even affecting the circulation of Dou Qi in her body.

Normally, she would only need to circulate her Dou Qi to resist this bit of cold, and a Dou Qi Armor could withstand the handprint attack without even getting her skirt dirty.

But now, her body had suffered heavy trauma and was being backlashed by the secret method, with Dou Qi running wild inside her.

Facing the sudden palm print...

Under the influence of external force, her internal injuries and backlash were intensified, and she could only take this palm strike head-on.

*Bang!*

Lisha was slapped directly onto the wall, shattering the entire surface, and was frozen together with some of the wall fragments.

*Swish!*

The sound of a longsword rang out as Gu Han closed in like a flexible swimming snake, the cold-overflowing sword light flickering as he slashed the longsword toward Lisha.

"Ah!"

Lisha only had time to raise her hand to block, and her left arm was half-severed by Gu Han.

Gu Han raised his hand, condensing ice soul Dou Qi on two fingers, while a layer of Purple Qi Double Pupils emerged in the center of his pitch-black eyes.

Lisha's internal situation was seen through by him. His two fingers poked out, hitting her vital points and acupoints, causing her internal injuries to intensify again, her meridians to be frozen, her Dou Qi to become even more chaotic, and the effect of the dou crystal in her dantian to be greatly weakened.

*Swish!*

Gu Han swung his sword again, his face as cold as frost and filled with anger.

This Lisha's figure was actually quite good, with a plump chest and slender waist, and her skin was white and smooth.

However, her face looked like a Rakshasa, irregularly covered with many seven-colored hues.

Thinking that he had almost been targeted by such a snake woman, Gu Han felt uncomfortable all over.

"Die."

One sword, one finger, one sword, one finger.

After several such cycles, Lisha didn't even have a chance to speak before her heart was pierced by Gu Han.

*Phew.*

Gu Han put Lisha's corpse along with all her things into the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.

Ling Ying: !!!

What had happened in these few dozen breaths?

Gu Han had actually killed a peak Great Dou Master!?

At this moment, a voice came from inside the inn: "This person is Liu Suifeng, someone has heavily injured Liu Suifeng."

"Is that the flower-plucking thief Liu Suifeng who is wanted by the Empire?"

*Hiss*, his lower body was cut; I'm afraid he was sabotaged while plucking flowers?

"It's said that Liu Suifeng has a High-level Xuan Rank Movement Dou Technique."

"Everyone back off, I will be the one to escort this person to Black Flame City."

"You're the one who should get lost! Why should it be you? Because of your big face?"

Hearing the commotion in the room, Gu Han, who had intended to leave, turned around directly, leaped high, and jumped into the inn through the window.

"Who!?" The people in the room all looked toward Gu Han.

One three-star Dou Master, two one-star Dou Masters, and the rest were Dou Practitioners.

Qinghe Town's ranking was behind Qingshan Town. If it weren't for its special geographical location and the Mittel Family's merchant station, it wouldn't have developed at all.

"The person who killed Liu Suifeng."

Gu Han held his blood-dripping longsword and walked quickly toward the unconscious Liu Suifeng.

"All of you, back down."
