NOVPUBChapter 768: Chapter 416 Self-Detonation_1 Chapter 768: Chapter 416 Self-Detonation_1 Grasping this, Luo Anzhong and his companion didn’t dare to hold back. At the first opportunity, they activated a vast amount of short-range attacks, be it Third Order Talisman or other consumable treasures; they used them all in one fell swoop toward Han Hu and the others.
Moreover, the magical treasures in their hands shone brightly, and streaks of Sword Qi flew overhead.
In such a frantic assault, the attacks poured down on Han Hu and his companion with a posture of desperation.
Unfortunately, the two’s cultivation clearly fell short by a notch.
Especially Ding Yongjin, who was only at the Early Stage Golden Core Realm, was simply not enough of a challenge for Han Hu and Zhao Hongsheng.
As expected, their attacks hardly stirred any trouble and were easily parried by Han Hu and the others.
When the dust settled, Luo Anzhong and his companion took the brief opportunity while Han Hu and his group were busy with the incoming attacks to flee toward the west.
...
Seeing the two escape together, heading in a different direction from the flying boat, Han Hu sneered disdainfully and said, “For the likes of you, I have been waiting with great difficulty for half a month. Now that I’ve finally caught you, how could I possibly let you get away?”
“Daoist Zhao, delay will breed complications. Let’s chase them down and kill them!”
“Hmm…”
After a lukewarm response from Zhao Hongsheng, he flew out in the direction where Luo Anzhong and his companion had fled.
Seeing this, Han Hu and the others didn’t delay any further; they quickly followed and soon disappeared into the valley.
Under the pursuit of Zhao Hongsheng and three other Golden Core Mid-Late Stage Cultivators, Luo Anzhong and his companion hadn’t fled far before they were caught up with on a plain by Zhao Hongsheng and the others.
At that moment, Zhao Hongsheng stood in front of the two, blocking their path.
Behind and to each side of them, Han Hu and three others surrounded them from different directions.
Now, with no path to escape, Luo Anzhong and his companion had no other choice but to attempt to break through in one direction.
But with all four pursuers being Golden Core Cultivators, and at least at the Mid Stage Golden Core Realm, even choosing a path to break through would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens under the watchful eyes of the other three.
Even so, they were left with no other options.
At this moment, Luo Anzhong looked grave, keenly aware their situation had reached a point of desperation.
Ding Yongjin’s face was even paler; he had been injured while fending off Zhao Hongsheng’s attacks, significantly weakening his strength.
Now trapped within the encirclement, given the stark difference in strength, if Luo Anzhong still had a sliver of hope to escape, his Early Stage Golden Core cultivation had left him with no way to ascend to heaven or enter earth.
In such a situation, there seemed to be no hope of escape.
Thinking of this, Ding Yongjin was filled with rage, cursing at Han Hu and the other Golden Sword Sect Disciples without any of the poise expected of a Golden Core Expert.
As a Late Stage Golden Core Expert, Han Hu held a prominent reputation throughout Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
Faced with Ding Yongjin’s insulting words, not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he also took direct action, aiming for Ding Yongjin’s vital areas as if to kill him on the spot.
“Boom…”
Han Hu’s attack was very sharp; in less than a blink of an eye, a powerful golden Sword Qi tore through the void and arrived instantaneously above Ding Yongjin’s head.
“Junior brother Ding, be careful!”
Luo Anzhong called out anxiously, then hurriedly made his move in an attempt to block Han Hu’s strike.
On the other side, Ding Yongjin, having already sensed Han Hu’s attack, immediately changed his position to dodge.
In an instant, Luo Anzhong’s attack collided with Han Hu’s Sword Qi one step ahead.
After a loud noise, the sky lit up again with fiery sparks, and a powerful blast swept through, causing their clothes to flutter loudly.
And the two at the center of the explosion, Luo Anzhong, were flung through the air by the blast, eventually plummeting from the sky onto the ground.
Once the dust and smoke had cleared, all was calm in the sky for a moment.
At that time, everyone’s figures reappeared in sight.
Looking around, Luo Anzhong and his companion were spotted with traces of blood on the corners of their mouths, their breath even weaker than before.
On the other hand, Han Hu and the three others looked at them coldly, seemingly viewing them as dead men, clearly not taking them seriously.
Their nonchalant demeanor infuriated Luo Anzhong and his companion even more, but given the discrepancy in strength, they were powerless.
During this brief calm, Zhao Hongsheng, leading the group, spoke up impatiently.
“Stop wasting time. Let’s do it!”
Hearing this, Han Hu and the others nodded, and at the same time shot toward Luo Anzhong and his companion from different directions, launching their attacks.
“Boom…”
A barrage of attacks followed, centering around Luo Anzhong and his companion from all directions, it was Zhao Hongsheng and the others’ onslaught.
At a glance, the attacks were dense, each one powerful enough to give an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator a run for their money.
A slight misstep could even lead to instant death.
At that moment, Luo Anzhong and his companion had grim expressions, and after exchanging glances, they couldn’t help but reveal a determined look.
“Brother Luo, I’m afraid I can’t escape. After a while, you make a break towards Yang Jun’s side, and I’ll help you!”
Upon hearing Ding Yongjin’s telepathic message, Luo Anzhong was taken aback, wanting to say something to dissuade him, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
He knew clearly that in such a situation, an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator was simply not enough, and there was no possibility of escape.
