Chapter 857 - 800: Brazen Snatching

When Han Yu caught up, Shi Xiu and Hun Bugui were already being relentlessly pursued and attacked by Zhen Tuo and Shen Zong.

The thirty-zhang Dharma Aspect kept bombarding them, and Zhen Tuo’s pagoda radiated an awe-inspiring power in his Dharma Aspect’s hand. Once thrown, brilliant colors emitted from the bottom of the tower, with a suction force constantly trying to pull the two into it.

Even more, Shen Zong’s assortment of jewelry and trinkets turned into various Spiritual Treasures, bombarding the two incessantly, with the Dharma Aspect in hot pursuit.

Shi Xiu barely managed to resist a few times using her Dao Palace, but was repeatedly blasted away. Every time she was about to use Wangchuan Bridge, Zhen Tuo’s pagoda would intervene.

Hun Bugui’s Dao Palace seemed almost trivial, slipping in and out of the two’s Dharma Aspects and yet failing to land a single hit.

"Are you screwing with me?"

Shi Xiu cursed angrily.

If you’re not going to take the risk as cannon fodder, fine, but at a life-and-death moment, are you still holding back?

This time Hun Bugui was truly wronged. He bitterly smiled, "I really can’t hit them. I’m not like you guys!"

He was good at surviving, but his ability was undeniably the weakest.

When did Shi Xiu start comparing herself to him?

Shi Xiu was taken aback because she did view Hun Bugui as if he were on the same level as the others.

It’s this damned guy suddenly seeming reliable that’s misleading her.

What do we do now?

Zhen Tuo and Shen Zong seem to just be toying with them now, but if they really go all out, they might fall even faster.

"A bunch of worthless trash daring to challenge my Celestial Dao Sect."

Zhen Tuo spoke with a cold face, and the next moment his strike became much more fierce, the Dharma Aspect carrying a dense killing intent.

Shen Zong followed closely with thunderous strikes, the variety of Spiritual Treasures gradually forming a sun wheel around the Dharma Aspect.

The Dharma Aspect wielded the sun wheel, mercilessly pounding on the two of them.

First, two Dao Palaces were knocked away one after the other, and then Shi Xiu’s Wangchuan Bridge was no exception, also smashed out, and by chance, it was even heading towards Han Yu.

Han Yu sidestepped quickly to avoid it, then moved again.

"What are you doing?"

The Artifact Spirit watched with an odd expression, seeing Han Yu rush forward only to shoulder the stone bridge, a flash of light in his hand, and then Wangchuan Bridge was stored into the Five Elements World in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Central Continent is dirt-poor; why not steal treasures when you can!"

Han Yu smirked, satisfied as he looked at the stone bridge settled in his Sea of Consciousness, revealing a pleased smile.

The Artifact Spirit was dumbfounded, looking extraordinarily weird.

Wow! The damned guy is even brazenly justified when stealing things now.

On the other side, Shi Xiu had been knocked flying, dropping heavily to the ground after falling from the air.

Hun Bugui fared no better; after suffering two punches from Shen Zong’s Dharma Aspect, he spilled blood in the sky and fell, landing even harder than Shi Xiu.

"Quickly think of a way!"

Shi Xiu struggled to get up, yanking the nearly unconscious Hun Bugui from the ground and urgently speaking.

Hun Bugui, looking as if he was on his last breath, weakly smiled and said, "Just wait for death! There’s no way out of this situation."

Under insurmountable power, all clever tricks are useless.

He always had this understanding, which was why he never showed off his intelligence outwardly.

"Then what do we do?"

Shi Xiu’s face was ashen. She didn’t want to die, especially fearing death more as she aged. She had lived long enough, yet she wanted to live even longer.

Hun Bugui was already subtly preparing to escape with his last strength. With just the two of them here, as long as he ran fast enough, there was still some chance.

Just as he started to act, a hand unexpectedly grasped him.

Shi Xiu looked determined, even prepared to fight to the death.

"Let’s gamble everything we have one last time."

You damn...

Hun Bugui’s expression was incredibly strange, wanting to curse, sigh, and die.

From a distance, Han Yu was hesitating, pondering whether to intervene.

Shi Xiu and Hun Bugui were not good people by any means, with Hun Bugui nearly capturing him, and Shi Xiu having suppressed him.

"But ultimately, these two idiots hadn’t had the chance to harm Central Continent yet."

Han Yu was trying hard to convince himself, but it wasn’t very effective.

The Artifact Spirit’s words were much more compelling:

"Keeping these two troublemakers to irritate the Celestial Dao Sect’s junior cultivators could work too."

"That’s a valid reason!"

Han Yu immediately nodded in agreement. Honestly, he just needed an excuse to act without disgusting himself.

If he could, he’d want to take out both sides.

But that wasn’t realistic. He couldn’t defeat four foes alone, and the four wouldn’t just stand there waiting for him to kill them one by one.

"Are you really decided?" the Artifact Spirit asked solemnly.

This time, striking would mean an even bigger vendetta with the Celestial Dao Sect.

"No other choice."

Han Yu sighed. The Central Continent and they had an irreconcilable conflict, completely unable to coexist peacefully.

Besides, he had set this enmity in motion when he killed Lu Yuan long ago.

Suddenly, Han Yu no longer concealed his true self, constantly raising his aura.

On the other side, Zhen Tuo and Shen Zong, about to attack, sensed something and looked back in horror, seeing a glint of Aurora approaching from afar.

In almost the blink of an eye, it attacked Shen Zong’s Dharma Aspect.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the Aurora collided then immediately shifted directions.

Shi Xiu and Hun Bugui watched the figure landing before them, their eyes filled with indescribable shock.

"Shi Xiu, am I too afraid of dying that I’m imagining things?"

Hun Bugui suddenly spoke, as if in a daze, "How about you slap me as a test?"

Slap!

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiu really gave him a slap, and after the crisp sound, they were even more horrified.

It wasn’t a dream.

Someone was really here to help them.

But this person helping them...

Hun Bugui’s face wore a complex expression. No wonder he felt like he was daydreaming—among those who could save him, this particular person shouldn’t appear.

Who is Han Yu, if not a suspected undercover of the Celestial Dao Sect or a Central Continental?

He himself had nearly captured that person.

Not to mention Shi Xiu; back in the Western Territory, she almost suppressed him too.

How could it be him coming over, and why did he become so strong so quickly?

Ignoring their amazement, Han Yu disdainfully glanced at the two before impatiently speaking.

"If you want to live, distract one of them for me. I’ll go take down the other. Try any funny business trying to escape, and I’ll just leave you to die. Next time, see who will save you."

After saying that, Han Yu transformed into Aurora again, not caring about their surprise and complex feelings, launching an attack on Shen Zong first.

Why attack him first?

"This bastard has many treasures; the rich dog dies first."

While Han Yu spoke, he continuously used Gold Divine Power to assault the Dharma Aspect.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Zhen Tuo immediately joined in, creating a one-on-two scenario for Han Yu, with the Aurora darting up and down, left and right, like a flickering firefly, moving so fast it made one dizzy.

And it wasn’t even the suppressed side. Amidst dodging and weaving, Han Yu still found time to launch attack after attack on the two.

A shift in movement, Zhen Tuo wanted to chase, and a pair of giant hands suddenly appeared, clapping together, nearly knocking him out of the Dharma Aspect.

A whip kick lashed out, a Water Dragon Vortex like a long whip striking Shen Zong.

Strange phenomena unfolded mid-air, making the four increasingly aware of the terror.

This kid’s progress is terrifyingly fast!

This sentiment was almost simultaneous among the four of them.
