Chapter 852: Chapter 851: Are We Going to Die?

“Boom!!!”

As the Battle Sword descended, its sharp aura rushed forth, slashing a shallow cut across Su Han’s face with its fierce wind. His clothing also shattered slightly at this moment.

Such a circumstance caused Su Han’s expression to change dramatically.

He knew that his physical body was at the Dragon God Realm Mid Stage!

Moreover, it was a body strengthened through cultivating the Divine Formula of Pangu, yet it still couldn’t withstand the fierce wind generated by the Battle Sword. This could only mean that the Battle Sword was too formidable, and the person wielding it… equally too overwhelming!

“Boom!”

Before Su Han could think further, the Battle Sword had already struck the Extreme Dao Divine Heaven surrounding him.

At the moment of impact, Su Han’s body violently shook, fresh blood spurted out in a massive flow, and his face turned pale instantly.

At the same time, the Extreme Dao Divine Heaven, which had held on for a brief moment, finally couldn’t withstand the force and crumbled inch by inch!

Su Han’s figure was also forced back under the power of the sword’s might.

It wasn’t that he chose to retreat, but the sword’s might compelled him to retreat!

He had almost no chance to fight back; the Battle Sword was simply too overpowering, and its appearance too sudden. Before Su Han could even react, it had already shattered his Extreme Dao Divine Heaven.

Clearly, the person wielding the Battle Sword had realized the consequences of delay and was determined to deliver a fatal blow in one strike!

“Boom, boom, boom…”

With the collapse of the Extreme Dao Divine Heaven and Su Han’s retreat, the Earth Guardian and other forms of defensive magic on Su Han shattered one layer after another.

These defensive spells, which Su Han had laid more than ten thousand layers of during his escape, paled in comparison to the Extreme Dao Divine Heaven that had consumed three thousand years of his lifespan. Now that even the Extreme Dao Divine Heaven had shattered, these spells were even less reliable. In a mere instant, over three thousand layers shattered!

Only seven thousand layers of defensive magic remained, and they could at most hold out for a single second. But to Su Han at this moment, one second was far too inadequate.

It was at this point that Su Han finally saw the wielder of the Battle Sword.

It wasn’t just one person–it was… five!

Su Han also saw the hilt of the Battle Sword at this moment. Shockingly, unlike other longswords that had only a single hilt, this one had five hilts!

These five hilts were tightly gripped by the five figures who had appeared. Their appearances varied; some looked like elderly men, others youthful. Yet from each of them emanated the unmistakable aura of the Dragon Emperor Realm!

“Another five!!!”

Su Han’s heart thudded wildly, and he finally couldn’t help but roar, “Up to this point, you have already dispatched a total of sixteen Dragon Emperor Realm experts. Such an extravagant effort, all just to kill me?!”

These five individuals did not respond. From their expressions, it was clear that even though all of them were Dragon Emperor Realm experts, even though there were five of them, wielding the Battle Sword was an extraordinarily strenuous effort for them.

Moreover, they were truly unwilling to drag this out!

“Unleash Dragon Power–deliver the kill in one blow!”

One of the elderly men bellowed furiously, and the vast, seemingly boundless Dragon Power unique to the Dragon Emperor Realm roared forth, pouring entirely into the Battle Sword.

In this moment, the remaining seven thousand layers of defensive magic on Su Han’s body completely shattered!

“Pfft!”

Su Han coughed out three mouthfuls of blood in quick succession. The Battle Sword’s tip hovered directly above his head; if it struck, Su Han would undoubtedly perish!

“Am I about to die?”

“These five… should be the five Battle Immortals of the Sect of the Battle God.”

“The Battle Immortals of the Sect of the Battle God, all of them Dragon Emperor Realm experts. To the Sect of the Battle God, there is only one true War God, the founder of the sect, the First War God. No matter how mighty anyone else may be, they can only be called Battle Immortals.”

“As Su Baliu once said, the Five Great Super Sects have dispatched sixteen Dragon Emperor Realm experts and ten Peak Pseudo-Emperor Realm experts. At an astonishing cost, they established the Trapped Sky Curtain that virtually seals off the entire Central Domain, all for the sake of slaying Su Baliu. The Five Great Super Sects have truly made massive sacrifices.”

Countless people gazed upon this scene with a heavy sigh in their hearts.

None of these words were spoken aloud; instead, they flickered through their minds in this fleeting instant.

All of them showed expressions of regret, shaking their heads silently, convinced that this time, Su Han was truly about to die.

The Xuanyuan Clan had already mobilized five Dragon Emperor Realm experts. The One Slash Palace had sent Nangong Chenfeng, one of the Four Great Palace Masters, alongside the Earth Sacrifice, Jiling. Yet Su Han himself had even summoned the Seven-Colored Famous Bird, an otherworldly demon beast akin to defying nature, and utilized nearly ten terrifying secret techniques!

To everyone observing, Su Han had already run out of strength and options.

Whether it be his personal prowess, his formidable connections, or his fortune, everything at his disposal had been used up. Everything available to be consumed had already been exhausted. Now, drenched in blood and on the brink of being struck by the Battle Sword, his life seemed to be truly nearing its end at this moment.

And their assumptions were not wrong–these five were precisely the five Battle Immortals of the Sect of the Battle God!

The Battle Immortals of the Sect of the Battle God were not limited to just five, nor were they all of the same level. They were divided into Lower-Class Battle Immortal, Middle-Class Battle Immortal, and High-Class Battle Immortal rankings.

Those at Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage were Lower-Class Battle Immortals; those at Dragon Emperor Realm Mid Stage were Middle-Class Battle Immortals; those at Dragon Emperor Realm Late Stage were High-Class Battle Immortals.

These five individuals were all Lower-Class Battle Immortals–Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage experts!

To this point, although the Five Great Super Sects had dispatched sixteen Dragon Emperor Realm experts, they were all Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage. Clearly, in their eyes, such numbers at this strength level were enough to kill Su Han.

Of course, whether any Dragon Emperor Realm Mid Stage experts might appear later, no one could say until they took action.

Though it may sound lengthy when described, everything had happened in an incredibly short span of time.

Nearly at the same moment the Battle Sword was about to strike Su Han, Su Han’s enraged roar and the thoughts of those observing all occurred simultaneously.

Many had already begun shaking their heads and sighing, believing Su Han would meet his demise at this instant.

Yet Su Han’s fate seemed miraculously immense.

At this critical juncture, a massive hand suddenly emerged from the void and grabbed onto Su Han, forcefully yanking him far away!

With this pull, Su Han immediately escaped the range of the Battle Sword’s assault. The Battle Sword lost its target, strode past through the void, and after carving out an enormous scar in the air, crashed down onto the ground with a deafening explosion.

Instantly, the earth rumbled. Terrifying cracks spread rapidly, resembling an earthquake. The depth of these fissures was immeasurable. When one gazed downward, the pitch-black chasm resembled an abyss of ten thousand fathoms, manifesting upon the ground. The terrain on either side of the crack looked more like sheer cliff faces.

“Go!”

A shouted command rang in Su Han’s ears, and with no time to offer thanks, he took a deep breath and immediately darted away into the distance.
