Chapter 435 - 326: A Tiger in the Way

As Han Yuan was rushing over, he heard another violent explosion!

BOOM!!!

This time, the explosion came from a completely different direction.

"Another explosion... What is the Immortal Sect Organization planning tonight..."

Han Yuan leaped up, landing on the eaves of a tall building. He gazed at the distant explosion and muttered to himself.

Flames were already soaring into the sky over there.

In an instant, a large number of masters rushed toward the scene.

This, however, made Han Yuan hesitate, unsure of where he should go.

’Forget it... I should head back first. I need to protect my own territory.’

Han Yuan turned and headed back toward the area he was responsible for guarding.

If there had only been one explosion tonight, he might have been interested in checking out the commotion.

But with one explosion after another, it was clear the Immortal Sect Organization had a premeditated plan.

It was possible that even the area he was guarding would be attacked.

So Han Yuan decided there was no need to get involved. The priority was to return and secure his own territory.

SWISH!

Just as he pushed off his feet to return, a dense, chilling mass of Evil Qi suddenly shot toward him from a distance.

In a daze, Han Yuan thought he heard the roar of a tiger.

Without a second thought, Han Yuan immediately circulated the Divine Power throughout his body and threw a heavy punch.

Celestial Spirit Tyrant Fierce!

A fierce and violent aura erupted, as if intending to destroy everything.

With Han Yuan’s current strength, this punch carried a terrifying force capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas!

BANG!!!

His fist slammed into the dense mass of Evil Qi in mid-air, creating a deafening roar and a powerful shockwave.

Han Yuan finally got a clear look at what had attacked him.

It was a Meteor Hammer, its surface covered in incredibly sharp spikes.

Han Yuan used the force of the impact to his advantage, his figure flashing as he shot off into the distance.

Before long, he arrived at a marketplace.

Since it was the middle of the night, the marketplace was naturally empty, completely deserted.

Han Yuan finally stopped and slowly turned around.

A huge and burly figure slowly emerged from the thick darkness.

"Han Yuan... I’m not mistaken, am I."

The newcomer was a brawny, middle-aged man with messy hair, looking like a wild beast.

"That’s me... And which High Priest might you be?"

Han Yuan asked calmly.

"I am Evil Tiger."

"You’re the one who killed Gray Goat... causing some holes to appear in our plan."

"I’ve been wanting to slaughter you for a while, but I’ve been too busy with the plans for the Great Li Capital."

"Now, it’s time to settle the score."

Evil Tiger grinned, swinging the Meteor Hammer in his hand.

Hearing Evil Tiger’s words, Han Yuan started to understand a few things.

’The Immortal Sect Organization must have recruited Situ Hui to be their mole. After all, if I hadn’t shown up, Situ Hui would still be alive. He was the one Tong Fengyang had hired. Unfortunately, my appearance ruined all of that.’

"Settle the score... Actually, I’ve been waiting for you all to come and settle things with me."

"It’s just a shame you’re not the one I was waiting for."

Han Yuan sighed softly.

"Then who were you hoping would show up?" Evil Tiger narrowed his eyes.

"Wooden Snake, of course."

"A pity you are not him."

Han Yuan said, shaking his head.

"Wooden Snake, you say... What a real shame."

"You’ll have to settle your grudge with him in the next life."

Evil Tiger broke into a grin.

A dense Evil Qi suddenly erupted from his body.

This Evil Qi spread rapidly, blanketing the entire marketplace and forming what seemed to be a Barrier, preventing anyone from sensing what was happening inside.

Han Yuan cracked his neck. "I wouldn’t be so sure about that."

A violent aura surged from his body as well, forming a ferocious Black Dragon that roared at the sky. It coiled behind him, its cold, imperious, vertical pupils locked on Evil Tiger.

At the same time, a bloody aura burst forth from Evil Tiger, coalescing into a vicious Blood Tiger.

A dragon versus a tiger!!!

Their auras clashed wildly in mid-air.

"Kill!!!"

The next moment, Han Yuan and Evil Tiger moved simultaneously!

Han Yuan drew the Heaven-Defying Saber from his back and charged, striding forward like a meteor. He continuously built up power before unleashing a vicious slash at Evil Tiger.

With a flick of his wrist, Evil Tiger hurled his Meteor Hammer with immense force.

The ferocious power created a piercing shockwave.

CLANG!

The instant the Heaven-Defying Saber struck the Meteor Hammer, sparks flew!

They were evenly matched!

"Thousand Falcons Streaming Light Sky Slash!"

Han Yuan’s figure flickered, and he crossed dozens of feet at incredible speed, leaving a ferocious trail of light from his saber as he slashed fiercely toward Evil Tiger!

SCREECH~

A sharp bird cry suddenly echoed through the void.

It was as if a massive, pitch-black bird had formed, diving viciously down upon Evil Tiger.

At that moment, Evil Tiger had yet to recall his Meteor Hammer.

He roared, his arms pulling the iron chain taut!

The next instant, the ferocious saber light descended!

CLANG!

The ground where Evil Tiger stood instantly shattered and exploded!

But the chain was unusually sturdy and was not severed by the slash.

At this point, Han Yuan could hear a violent sound coming from behind him.

The Meteor Hammer was rapidly approaching!

Evil Tiger sneered, his left hand rapidly transforming into a bloody tiger claw that swiped viciously at Han Yuan’s face.

A pincer attack from front and back!

’Let’s see how Han Yuan dodges this!’

"Unmoving as a Mountain!"

Han Yuan snorted, and a majestic, heavy aura instantly formed around his body.

Faintly, Evil Tiger thought he saw a Five Elements Divine Mountain.

BANG!!!

Neither the Meteor Hammer nor the bloody tiger claw had any effect when they struck Han Yuan.
