594: Lu Xueqi (71)
Su Han quickly grabbed the three treasures on the stone platform and put them into his embrace.
He turned to face Protector Bai, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Protector Bai, this is a Holy Land of the Witch Clan, how dare you act so presumptuously!"
Protector Bai laughed heartily: "Kid, you're still stubborn even when death is at your doorstep!"
An Elder from Incense Valley behind him said sinisterly: "Protector, why bother with this kid? Just take him down directly."
Protector Bai nodded, waved his hand, and said: "Form the Formation!"
Several Incense Valley experts quickly spread out, occupying specific positions, forming a strange Formation.
Lu Xueqi whispered: "It's Incense Valley's 'Seven Kill Formation,' be careful!"
Bi Yao snorted coldly: "A mere Seven Kill Formation dares to show off in front of this maiden!"
She formed hand seals, and a faint blue light emanated from her body.
Su Han gripped the longsword in his hand and said to the two women: "I'll attack, you two provide support."
Before his words finished, he had already shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, heading straight for Protector Bai.
Protector Bai sneered, drew his longsword, and met Su Han.
"Clang!"
The two swords clashed, emitting a piercing sound of metal on metal.
Su Han felt a huge force, his tiger's mouth went numb, and he retreated three steps.
Protector Bai also took a step back, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Good kid, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage practitioner actually has such strength!"
Su Han's heart was solemn; Protector Bai was indeed a Protector of Incense Valley, his cultivation had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, far beyond what he could compare to.
But he was not afraid; instead, his Battle Intent grew stronger.
"Again!"
Su Han let out a long cry, his swordsmanship suddenly became incredibly fierce, sword light like a rainbow, every move aimed at Protector Bai's vital points.
At the same time, Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao also engaged in battle with the other Incense Valley experts.
Lu Xueqi's swordsmanship was exquisite, each sword carrying a chilling cold Qi, slowing her opponents' movements.
Bi Yao, on the other hand, employed strange witchcraft, at times transforming into illusions, at times summoning venomous insects, making it impossible to guard against.
However, the Seven Kill Formation formed by the Incense Valley disciples was indeed formidable; the seven people's Qi were connected, forming an integrated offense and defense, actually trapping the two women firmly.
Su Han grew anxious at the sight, his sword momentum became even more violent, completely disregarding his own defense, only attacking and not defending.
Protector Bai was forced to retreat repeatedly by this desperate fighting style, both shocked and enraged.
"Kid, you're looking for death!"
He roared, and his sword suddenly ignited with raging flames, the temperature rising sharply.
"Heaven Burning Sword Art!"
A fiery red Sword Qi whistled out, igniting the air wherever it passed.
Su Han felt a fatal crisis and quickly used his movement technique to dodge.
However, the Sword Qi's range was too large, and he was still swept by the aftermath; his left shoulder instantly turned charred black, and excruciating pain pierced his heart.
"Su Han!" Lu Xueqi exclaimed, wanting to rescue him, but she was tightly entangled by two Incense Valley experts.
Bi Yao was also anxious, but facing three opponents, she couldn't break free for a while either.
Protector Bai, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy, his sword moves continuous, completely suppressing Su Han.
Su Han struggled to cope, facing numerous dangers, and several more wounds appeared on his body.
At the critical moment, the reincarnation mirror fragment in his embrace suddenly vibrated violently, and a cool stream of Qi flowed into his body.
Su Han felt a sudden clarity in his mind; Protector Bai's sword moves suddenly slowed down in his eyes, and their flaws were clearly visible.
"This is... the power of the reincarnation mirror?"
Su Han had no time to think, seized a flaw, and his longsword shot out like a venomous snake, stabbing straight at Protector Bai's throat.
This sword was as fast as lightning, with a tricky angle, completely beyond Protector Bai's expectation.
Protector Bai was greatly alarmed, barely managed to dodge sideways, but his neck was still grazed by the sword tip, blood flowing freely.
"How is this possible!" He was both shocked and angry, unable to understand why Su Han's swordsmanship had suddenly improved so much.
Su Han, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy, his swordsmanship becoming even more exquisite, each sword directly targeting Protector Bai's flaws, forcing him into a frantic struggle.
On the other side, Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao, seeing Su Han reverse the situation, were greatly encouraged, and their attacks became even fiercer.
Lu Xueqi let out a soft cry, her longsword pointing to the sky, and snowflakes suddenly drifted down from above.
"Ice Snow Sword Domain!"
The temperature plummeted, and the Incense Valley experts' movements noticeably slowed, thin ice forming on their bodies.
Bi Yao seized the opportunity to unleash her ultimate move, forming hand seals, and countless vines suddenly emerged from the ground, tightly entangling her opponents.
"Now!" Su Han roared, unleashing a full-force sword strike towards the core of the Seven Kill Formation.
"Boom!"
The Sword Qi struck the Formation's core, and the Seven Kill Formation shattered instantly, causing the Incense Valley disciples to vomit blood and fall to the ground.
Protector Bai's face turned ashen, seeing that the tide had turned.
"Good! Good! The humiliation of today, I will surely repay it in the future!"
He pulled out a Talisman, crushed it, and his figure instantly vanished.
The other Incense Valley experts also tried to escape, but were blocked by Su Han and the two women.
Su Han said coldly: "Hand over the antidote, and I'll spare your lives!"
It turned out that during the fight, Bi Yao had accidentally been poisoned by Incense Valley's unique potent poison, and her face was turning green.
An Incense Valley Elder stammered: "The antidote is with Protector Bai."
Su Han frowned, looking at Bi Yao, whose lips were turning purple, indicating the poison had already begun to spread.
Lu Xueqi said anxiously: "Let's leave here first, then figure out how to detoxify her."
Su Han nodded, subdued a few Incense Valley experts, and quickly left the hall with Bi Yao.
They returned along the way they came, only to find that the exit had disappeared, replaced by a smooth bronze wall.
"How can this be?" Su Han was shocked.
He tried to push the wall, but it didn't budge.
After checking around, Lu Xueqi said solemnly: "We're trapped, the structure here has changed."
Bi Yao's poison flared up, and she collapsed softly; Su Han quickly supported her.
"Bi Yao, hold on!"
Bi Yao smiled weakly: "I didn't expect to die here."
Su Han tightly held her hand: "No, there must be a way to detoxify you."
He suddenly remembered the Soul Stabilizing Pearl he had just obtained; it was said to have the effect of dispelling poison and healing injuries, so he quickly took it out and placed it on Bi Yao's chest.
The Soul Stabilizing Pearl emitted a soft light, and the green Qi on Bi Yao's face gradually receded, her breathing becoming much steadier.
"It's working!" Su Han said in surprise.
But he soon discovered that the Soul Stabilizing Pearl only temporarily suppressed the poison and did not completely remove it.
After checking, Lu Xueqi said gravely: "This poison is very strange; the Soul Stabilizing Pearl can only temporarily suppress it, a specific antidote is needed."
Su Han pondered for a moment and returned to the Incense Valley experts.
"Tell me, how is this poison cured?"
An Elder said with a bitter smile: "This poison is called 'Seven Day Soul Severing Powder,' and indeed only Protector Bai has the antidote."
Su Han's heart sank; Protector Bai had already escaped, where could he find the antidote?
Just then, the entire Bronze Divine Palace suddenly shook.
The runes on the walls lit up one by one, exuding an ancient and profound aura.
A phantom figure slowly condensed into shape in the center of the hall.
It was an old man dressed in ancient shaman robes, with white hair and beard, and eyes as deep as the starry sky.
"Three thousand years, someone has finally arrived here."
The old man's voice resounded directly in the minds of the three.
Su Han vigilantly shielded the two women behind him: "Senior, who are you?"
The old man smiled faintly: "I am the Spirit of the Bronze Divine Palace, you may call me Old Wu."
Lu Xueqi bowed: "Juniors have mistakenly entered the Divine Palace, we hope Senior can guide us out." (End of Chapter)
