Chapter 872 - 815: Blood Burning Soul Pill

Han Yu indeed used Earth Escape to flee, but he didn’t go far, as he was still reluctant to give up as long as there was any chance.

A few miles away, he stumbled upon a corpse...er, a person.

Yuan Rong, it seems, has thick skin and strong muscles; under such a terrifying attack, he was only badly bruised and hadn’t yet died completely.

When Han Yu found him, he was immediately caught in an inner conflict.

A strong figure like Yuan Rong, truth be told, he hadn’t killed one before, and now he’s just lying there waiting to be chopped by him.

This could be called a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But killing him would surely please the Celestial Dao Sect.

Therefore, Han Yu was continuously hesitating, even when Yuan Rong woke up, he hadn’t decided whether to kill or not.

As a result, when Yuan Rong opened his eyes, he sensed a strong killing intent, almost frightening him enough to flee again with his frail body.

Luckily, he stopped upon seeing it was Han Yu, his face turning cold, "You want to kill me?"

"Yes! I’ve been thinking about it for a long time."

Han Yu’s frankness was terrifying, after all, killing intent can’t be faked, and there’s no point in lying about it; not only did he want to kill Yuan Rong, he also repeatedly sensed killing intent from him, especially when he was destroying the high platform, Yuan Rong’s killing intent was evidently stronger.

Just because of Han Yu’s honesty, Yuan Rong dared to relax his guard; both sides were well aware of each other’s thoughts, they both wanted to kill the other, but it wasn’t the right time.

"I know what you’re thinking!"

Yuan Rong sneered, since Han Yu wasn’t with the Celestial Dao Sect, he certainly couldn’t be with Yama Hall either.

No matter which force Han Yu belongs to, or if he belongs to Central Continent, it’s all a third party.

The most beneficial thing for Han Yu right now is probably to let the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall remain evenly matched, he’s smart enough to figure that out.

But there’s one possibility, just like Han Yu initially speculated.

With a strange expression, Yuan Rong said, "Aren’t you afraid that both sides might first deal with you?"

If Han Yu were to jump around too much, this isn’t impossible.

But Han Yu wasn’t worried, the reason is simple.

"The gap between you and the Celestial Dao Sect is clear as day, unless you have been kicked in the head by a donkey, you should avoid doing something so stupid."

Han Yu mocked.

If that’s true, then Yama Hall would be completely hopeless, without a single smart person.

Yuan Rong smirked, casting another glance at this rising star, unable to suppress the urge to kill; this kid almost destroyed their array core once and now could disrupt the Celestial Dao Sect’s high platform.

It’s really hard not to be wary.

Besides, Han Yu’s growth speed is incredibly fast.

When Soul Reaper mentioned him, he was just a small fry, but now he’s able to stir things up; how long has it been?

Although Yuan Rong didn’t know to what extent he had progressed, just the perception in that instant was enough to alarm him; Han Yu was not only thinking of killing him but also had the capability to do so, which triggered a reaction.

Thinking of this, Yuan Rong felt a surge of killing intent.

Han Yu glanced at him with a complicated expression and suddenly spoke sincerely, "I advise you not to harbor any killing intent, with your condition, I’m struggling to hold back myself."

With such blatant killing intent, several times he thought of just finishing Yuan Rong.

Even if Yuan Rong was severely injured, Han Yu might still be able to kill him upon waking.

Both suppressed their killing intent, and Han Yu couldn’t help but speak.

"Is there any way to lure the person away?"

If there’s no way to divert the person, or to protect him, he wouldn’t dare to step on the high platform easily.

Yuan Rong looked grim, as he actually had no means either, Jiang Xinyuan’s strength was indeed higher than his, attempting to drag him away would be tough!

Unless Jiu You was willing to come down.

Jiu You’s strength shouldn’t be inferior to the opponent, if willing, dragging away Jiang Xinyuan wouldn’t be difficult.

"No one’s coming down, the sacred relic needs people to cross to Central Continent."

Yuan Rong shook his head, it’s nearly impossible.

Han Yu felt a tightness in his chest, are they a bunch of fools?

The table is about to be overturned, why worry about the dishes?

"Haven’t you thought that once your array is destroyed, everything will be for naught?"

Han Yu spoke with a complex expression.

At times like this, hiding cards is pointless, if you don’t use your tricks now, you might not get a chance later.

At this moment, both sensed Jiu You’s aura, Han Yu knew another strong figure appeared, his face turning instantly displeased.

However, Yuan Rong was exceedingly delighted, unable to hold back speaking.

"The second prince is here."

Han Yu blurted out, urgently asking, "Is he strong?"

His concern over Yama Hall’s strength probably exceeded Yuan Rong’s.

So Yuan Rong first wore a strange look, then silently nodded, "Very strong!"

At least stronger than him...

Immediately Han Yu’s mind became active, with someone to keep Di Liuxin at bay, and another Celestial Dao Sect expert likely also held off.

Then, returning shouldn’t be much of a problem?

"Going back? Aren’t you afraid to die?"

The Artifact Spirit was anxious; they escaped quickly, next time might not be so easy.

"Just a bit more, and that high platform will be scrapped."

It’s important, once the high platform is destroyed, regardless of today’s outcome, the Celestial Dao Sect would have exerted themselves for nothing.

Even if Yama Hall loses miserably today, at least they would preserve their foundation.

Han Yu was thinking this, and so was Yuan Rong.

With someone to keep those people occupied, couldn’t they afford to...

He spoke.

"Can you go to the high platform again?"

"Can you protect me?"

Han Yu could go to the high platform, but he had conditions.

Yuan Rong glanced at his shattered body, frowned, protecting someone before was possible, but now it’s tough.

Especially with powerful figures rushing over.

Even if Jiu You could engage Jiang Xinyuan, if the opponent was determined to kill Han Yu, Jiu You might not guarantee full interception.

"My injuries..."

He trailed off, as Han Yu already produced a pill.

This thing only appeared after arriving here, and its effect seems to vary individually.

Blood Burning Soul Pill: Once ingested, increases corporeal and soul-dominating abilities, can instantly recover from any injury except fatal ones and momentarily boost cultivation fivefold. Side effects: Blood turmoil, soul unrest, each use of the ability destroys irreparable soul fragments, complete soul destruction after nine uses.

This pill, someone like Yuan Rong might truly maximize its use, handing it to Central Continent would be a trap.

Using this ability certainly suggests life-threatening scenarios, but with the current strength of Central Continent’s experts, several burns wouldn’t change; dead would still be dead.

Yuan Rong was different, if he could be convinced to take it, he’d instantly turn into a mad dog.

Therefore, Han Yu highlighted the pill’s positive effects and sincerely asked him, "Will you take it?"

Yuan Rong’s expression changed, the pill’s ability seemed to scare him a bit.

His injuries were beyond quick fixes, yet Han Yu’s pill could.

Yet he quickly regained a grim look, not out of disbelief but caution.

With a steely face, he spoke coldly, "Do you take me for a fool?"

"Do you think I would use fake goods to fool you at this critical moment?"

Han Yu rolled his eyes in response.
