784: Chapter 783 "I've been tricked."

Then, with a wave of his hand, the black lightning orb reappeared in his palm.

Within the lightning orb, lightning faintly flickered, and destruction aura surged.

Qin Yan formed hand seals, which landed on the black lightning orb.

His fingers flew with agile dexterity as black seals poured from his fingertips and sank into the black lightning orb.

Atop the black lightning orb, light shone brightly as the black destruction aura and purple lightning intertwined, making a sizzling sound.

"You hiding coward, die!" Qin Yan growled, his eyes filled with absolute determination.

In his hand, the lightning orb was ready to be unleashed at any moment.

Seeing that Qin Yan could actually still activate the black lightning orb, First Prince Jun Wentian panicked!

He had already experienced the power of that black lightning orb just moments ago.

A single strike had shattered his talisman defense and severely injured him.

If another hit came, he absolutely would not be able to block it!

"How can he still use it?" First Prince Jun Wentian was both shocked and enraged.

He had thought that the black lightning orb could only be used once.

Yet Qin Yan could actually activate it a second time!

He was now heavily injured, and his life-saving means were exhausted.

If he took another hit, he would definitely perish!

Thinking of this, First Prince Jun Wentian hastily retrieved a green talisman from his Storage Ring and slapped it onto himself without hesitation.

The talisman glowed brilliantly as green light poured from the paper, enveloping First Prince Jun Wentian completely.

Atop the green light, the faint sound of wind and thunder could be heard.

This was an eighth-rank High Grade talisman—the Gale Sky-Fleeing Talisman, which could immensely boost the user's speed!

An eighth-rank High Grade item was incredibly precious, even for First Prince Jun Wentian.

This talisman was one of his ultimate trump cards for saving his life.

He had always been reluctant to use it, but at this moment, he had no choice.

Because if he didn't leave now, he might truly die.

Then, First Prince Jun Wentian's body turned into a streak of green lightning, hurtling away into the distance!

His speed was astonishingly fast, leaving a green trail in the air.

In just the blink of an eye, First Prince Jun Wentian's figure had vanished from high in the sky!

Looking at the other party's ridiculously fast speed, Qin Yan couldn't help but click his tongue in secret.

This speed was simply too exaggerated. With his current Mental Energy perception range, he couldn't even capture the opponent's trailing light, and could only watch helplessly as the green light vanished at the edge of the horizon.

However, now was not the time to marvel at his enemy.

After confirming that the mysterious person had indeed retreated, Qin Yan waved his hand and cast another seal, sealing the black lightning orb once more.

His fingers flew as black seals poured from his fingertips and sank into the black lightning orb.

The black light on the lightning orb flickered a few times before gradually dimming and returning to tranquility.

The second droplet that was about to condense inside the lightning orb also slowly dissipated, returning into the orb's interior.

Then, Qin Yan put away the black lightning orb.

Only at this moment did he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he hadn't actually intended to use this lightning orb just now.

This black lightning orb was one of his greatest trump cards, but it was also a highly dangerous double-edged sword—once released, setting aside whether it could kill the mysterious person, the mere aftershocks of the battle would be enough to tear another layer of skin off him.

Given his current injuries, if he were hit by another shockwave from a Venerable-level battle, he probably wouldn't even have the strength to stand up, and that was even under the premise of using a seventh-rank defensive talisman. Now that the mysterious person had retreated on his own, it was naturally a happy ending for all.

After looking around to confirm he was temporarily safe, Qin Yan sat down cross-legged on the spot and silently adjusted his breathing to regulate his aura.

As the medicinal efficacy and his Cultivation Technique operated, his injuries began to heal bit by bit.

...

Far away, First Prince Jun Wentian only stopped his steps after the talisman's power dissipated.

The power of the talisman was exhausted, and the green light faded from his body.

He landed on a hill, panting heavily.

"I've been tricked."

"That fellow Qin Yan didn't attack!"

He hadn't detected any massive destructive fluctuations coming from afar.

If Qin Yan had truly activated the black lightning orb, there was no way he wouldn't have sensed such a massive disturbance.

"He was just bluffing to scare me."

First Prince Jun Wentian's face turned grim, and a hint of anger and shame flashed in his eyes.

He, the grand First Prince of the Guhen Kingdom, a Great Grandmaster Peak expert, was actually scared away by a Rank 6 Peak junior?

If word of this got out, where would he put his face?

Where would his dignity go?

"However, looking at the situation just now, Qin Yan should have a way to activate that black lightning orb. I still shouldn't take risks for now."

First Prince Jun Wentian thought to himself, the anger in his eyes gradually subsiding, replaced by a touch of calmness and rationality.

Although Qin Yan didn't attack, he indeed had the ability to do so.

Therefore, his retreat was not entirely a wrong choice.

Then, he looked around and found that he was almost at the outskirts of the Core Area.

The destruction aura of the Core Area had weakened significantly, and the purple lightning had also thinned out.

He had already left the dangerous zone of the Core Area and entered the relatively safe outer region.

First Prince Jun Wentian directly swallowed a seventh-rank healing Medicinal Pill. Upon entering his stomach, the pill turned into a warm medicinal force, spreading throughout his entire body along his Meridians.

Under the effect of the medicinal force, his injuries rapidly healed;

His pale complexion turned ruddy, and his breath stabilized from its previous weakness.

After recovering slightly, he walked toward the outer region.

This Guhen Kingdom was his home turf; he had to kill Qin Yan here!

Otherwise, once the opponent returned to the Taixuan Holy Land, it would be extremely difficult for him to kill him!

Only in the Guhen Kingdom, on his own territory, would he have a chance and confidence.

...

Half an hour later, Qin Yan stood up.

His injuries had mostly healed.

His breathing returned to normal, and his aura stabilized.

Although he hadn't fully recovered to his Peak state, it at least no longer affected his normal movements.

Then, Qin Yan delayed no further and walked straight toward the outskirts of the Core Area.

His steps were light and his expression was calm, but his heart held a hint of urgency and vigilance.

He had a premonition—this Ruined Battlefield, and even the entire Guhen Kingdom, was no longer safe!

He had to quickly return to the Taixuan Holy Land!

Only in the Taixuan Holy Land, under the protection of the Holy Land, would he be safe.

The world outside was simply too dangerous!

He had merely obtained Venerable Destruction's Legacy by chance, and then, for some inexplicable reason, he was targeted by a super expert!

If not for the black lightning orb and the gift of the artifact spirit, he might already be dead.

"A Dao of Lightning expert, male, with strength at least at the Great Grandmaster Peak, or even a Venerable!" Qin Yan silently noted down the characteristics of that mysterious person in his heart while walking briskly.
