Hidden Blade

Chapter 260 Venomous Snake

The middle-aged swordsman took the lead in launching his attack.

He was very restrained because he knew that even though he was fighting alone, with Ye Hongjian at the side, the other party would definitely not watch him kill Xu Han. Moreover, he still needed to rely on capturing Xu Han alive to escape from this place.

Therefore, he controlled his strength to the point where he could disintegrate Xu Han's combat strength without harming his life.

His speed was very fast, and the blade of the sword carried the sword intent and instantly arrived in front of Xu Han.

According to his expectations, Xu Han would lift the sword in his hand at this moment, and then forcefully shake it with him. At this moment, he could use the boundless True Essence around him to shatter the True Qi in the main body of the Xu Clan, causing him to surrender and be captured.

In fact, his plan was very smooth.

At least the first half went smoothly.

Xu Han indeed raised the sword in his hand as he had expected and welcomed the edge of his sword.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, the blade of the sword met.

Seeing this, the swordsman's face immediately revealed a wisp of color. The true essence in his body trembled, and at that time, it surged out of his body like a tide, passing through his hands to the tip of his sword.

"Huh?" Then, the middle-aged swordsman's expression suddenly changed, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

Even though he had restrained his own strength, that True Essence was still enough to make any Netherpassage Realm cultivator surrender, let alone Xu Han, who was only at the Three Elements Realm? However, at this moment, Xu Han's expression was gloomy and cold. There was nothing unusual about it. The true essence he had activated was like mud bulls entering the sea, and it disappeared without any signs of life.

This change shook the swordsman's heart. He gritted his teeth and the true essence in his body surged out again. A force that was even more violent than before attacked Xu Han.

However, after this power surged out.

The sword in Xu Han's hand lit up with a faint bloody light. Not only did Xu Han's body not have any abnormalities, but the aura around him increased slightly at that time.

This kind of improvement was neither big nor small.

With the swordsman's vision, the Earth Yuan in Xu Han's body actually broke apart at that time.

Breakthrough?

His expression changed. Although such a breakthrough was far from turning the tide of the battle, he had failed to achieve any results on both occasions. The connection between the two made him somewhat uneasy.

"Is that all you have?"

At that moment, Xu Han's voice rang out. The middle-aged swordsman was stunned. He raised his head and saw that the youth's expression was gloomy and cold. A faint bloody light flashed in his eyes. It was exactly the same as the light on his sword.

"Then it's my turn to make a move." Xu Han said again. Before the middle-aged swordsman could react, he felt the strength coming from the sword suddenly increase.

He wanted to circulate all of his True Essence to defend himself, but at that moment, that power suddenly became violent.

With a single carelessness, his body was pushed back by that violent force. Only after he retreated a few feet did he stabilize his body.

..

The middle-aged swordsman used a few breaths of time to calm down his surging inner breath.

Then, he looked at Xu Han with deep eyes. At this moment, the youth was holding onto his sword and walking towards him in a calm and unhurried manner.

The sword in his hand, the light in his eyes, and the aura emanating from his body. It was filled with a cold and ferocious smell.

He walked slowly.

The black riding boots knocked on the bluestone road, making a soft sound.

The scarlet sword was dripping with purple blood, droplets after droplets pouring onto the road.

The swordsman knew that it was the blood of that monster just now.

This inexplicably made the swordsman's heart tremble. He did not know why, but he did feel a chill in his heart at that time.

Yes, he was a little scared.

However, this fear was quickly spilled out of his mind.

This was a very unreasonable matter. He was a Heavenly Hunt Realm expert. As long as he defeated the youth in front of him, he would be able to obtain enormous wealth. He had no reason to be afraid of Xu Han.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged swordsman's eyes sank, and a giant python's phantom image suddenly appeared behind him.

He decided to use all his strength to defeat the youth in front of him and calm down the fear that had arisen in his heart.

"Go to hell!"

He let out such a furious roar, and the expression on his face became ferocious because of the fanaticism in his heart, and became somewhat distorted because of the ferociousness. It was as if he hadn't noticed, It was only at that moment that he frantically activated his True Essence. At that time, his speed was also raised to the limit. In a blink of an eye, he killed Xu Han again. The python behind him let out a loud scream, wrapped around his sword and whistled away. It opened its large bloody mouth and bit Xu Han's head.

However, even in the face of such a cold attack from a man, the expression on Xu Han's face was still indifferent.

He was in a very mysterious state.

A state in which Xu Han himself could not tell the truth.

When Xuan'er's blood splashed onto his body and his sword, he was shrouded in boundless anger.

That anger almost completely devoured his entire body from the inside out. At the same time, the Heaven Punishing Sword that had been chased by the people of the world suddenly gushed out something after infecting Xuan'er's blood and rushed into his body.

He didn't really know what it was, but after the thing poured in, a boundless killing intent rose from his heart.

He had an impulse to destroy everything in front of him, regardless of whether it was the enemy or us.

He had to use all the strength in his body to suppress this impulse.

However, this impulse did not dissipate because Xu Han's intentional suppression was becoming more and more intense.

Xu Han knew that he had to vent this impulse, and the culprit who injured Xuan'er was naturally the best target.

Of course, such a demonic state naturally had nothing to do with the so-called mysteries.

The most miraculous thing was that even when the bloodthirsty impulse filled Xu Han's mind, he was surprisingly calm about the battle.

For example, the swordsman had summoned his True Spirit and Sword Edge to attack Xu Han from the upper and lower paths. They were extremely fast and their momentum was extremely heavy.

Normally, Xu Han would have ignored his head and been repelled by Ling Le's attack.

However, at this moment, Xu Han was surprisingly calm. He looked at the path that the sword tip and the python were heading towards, and his mind seemed to have divine help as he accurately calculated the arrival times of the two.

Then, his right arm, which was holding the Heavenly Punishment Sword, involuntarily moved.

Ding!

Hiss!

Accompanied by the sound of swords and howls from one side to the other.

The Heavenly Punishment Sword in Xu Han's hand was erected by him in a strange-looking posture.

The hilt of the sword tilted left, and the tip of the sword tilted right.

However, such a strange posture surprisingly blocked the blade of the sword and the True Spirit from coming from the upper and lower paths.

"Huh?" The middle-aged swordsman let out a soft sigh.

This time, he didn't have much strength to hide. How fast could a Heavenly Hunt Realm expert erupt with all his might? However, Xu Han took all of them. From his strange posture, the man could tell that all of this seemed to be done intentionally by Xu Han. It was not because the blind cat ran into a dead mouse.

The vigilance in the man's heart grew even more intense at that time.

He didn't understand why Xu Han looked like a different person in front of him, nor did he understand how his cultivation at the Three Elements Realm could contend against him.

He didn't understand, but he didn't want to think any further.

This was a life-threatening battle. Any distraction could lead to a single mistake and a total loss.

He had to admit that the Xu Han in front of him seemed to have the qualifications to go all out.

Thinking of this, the swordsman finally decided not to hold back.

The aura around him trembled at that moment, and the blade of the sword was withdrawn by him. The evil python also returned to his back at the same time, spitting out a message and looking at Xu Han vigilantly.

Then, his aura condensed, and a divine light burst out from his eyes.

The sword in his hand swung out again.

This time, his sword was so fast that there was practically only an afterimage left. It was simply difficult for others to catch the traces of his sword. The python behind him also shrunk a bit at that time, wrapped around the sword tip and attacked Xu Han.

The combined power of the two was far from as simple as one plus one equals two.

His sword intent and True Spirit were all things condensed from his body, gathered together, his bloodline energy connected, and the power erupted out was almost to the point where it was shocking to hear.

The enormous Spirit Wind was stirred up by his power. After winter, the fallen leaves in the Tian Ce Mansion were stirred up under the Spirit Wind, and they were raised randomly. The withered branches swayed and splashed; Even Xu Han's clothes were torn apart by the strong wind, revealing his strong body wrapped in the clothes.

A smile appeared on the man's face.

He felt that under such a sword strike, Xu Han no longer had any reason to resist.

However, the truth was a hundred times more cruel than he had imagined.

The moment the man launched his attack, Xu Han also moved.

He drew his sword very slowly. Compared to the speed of a man, the two of them were like poisonous snakes aiming at their prey and ignorant lambs.

However, strangely enough, even with such a slow swing of the sword, Xu Han's sword tip was still unbiased between the two of them before the man's sword move arrived.

Ding!

Following the collision of the two swords, a crisp sound rang out and Xu Han blocked the man's sword move once again.

The middle-aged swordsman's mind was unavoidably in turmoil at that time, He didn't understand how Xu Han did it. This kind of thing was truly too unbelievable, so much so that he forgot to think about it. Even if Xu Han had insight into the path of his sword move, how did Xu Han, who was only at the Three Elements Realm, receive the boundless power contained within his sword move?

He wasn't in the mood to think about it.

The bloody light in Xu Han's eyes became heavier and heavier, and the light on his sword also became brighter. The cold aura lingering around Xu Han's body was also slightly denser.

Under that aura, the fear in the man's heart could no longer be concealed.

"Die!" Fear turned into madness after a few breaths.

He let out a furious roar. At that time, all of his True Essence was gathered by him and poured into the True Spirit.

After being nourished by that boundless power, the python phantom's body once again solidified a little.

Hiss!

It let out a hoarse cry, and a cold green light appeared in its eyes. Then, it bent its body.

In the next moment, it actually left the man's sword and directly attacked Xu Han's unprepared face.
