Chapter 853: Chapter 852 Lower-Class Battle Immortal

“This… escaped again?”

“Oh heavens, someone actually intervened! To rescue him from beneath the Battle Sword, they must at least be a Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse!”

“Su Baliu’s luck is truly remarkable…”

Seeing Su Han manage to escape yet again, those who had come along to spectate were dumbfounded.

Anyone capable of following along up to this point undoubtedly belongs to a force with Dragon Emperor Realm experts, yet these individuals held little reverence for Su Han. The title ‘Su Zun’ was merely used by a few attendees in the plaza.

Of course, if Su Han truly survived today, the next time he reappears, he would hold the title of Su Zun for real. Though these Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses might not show absolute respect, they would surely treat him with courtesy.

It was hard for them to imagine–at such a critical moment, just as the Battle Sword was about to kill Su Han–someone intervened again to save him.

It seemed…

It seemed someone had been secretly following Su Han all along, silently protecting him. These hidden figures only emerged during moments of crisis, immediately revealing themselves to save Su Han!

This could truly be called a personal escort!

“To have such fearsome Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses protecting him–Su Baliu… just what does he have to deserve this?!”

This was the question lingering in countless minds, even among Dragon Emperor Realm experts, who couldn’t help but feel envious.

They simply couldn’t comprehend–what was so special about Su Han?

Was it merely his talent? Could this alone compel so many Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses to protect him, willingly offending the Five Great Super Sects?

It sounded utterly absurd!

And as they burned with jealousy, the figures of those who had rescued Su Han finally emerged.

There weren’t one, but two.

Though fewer in number compared to the Sect of the Battle God’s five Lower-Class Battle Immortals, and the cultivation base of these two men was also Dragon Emperor Realm, their aura was unmistakably far more terrifying than that of the five Battle Immortals.

“Mancheng, Ding Lin!”

Upon recognizing these two figures, someone immediately exclaimed in shock, their heart skipping a beat.

Those who cried out were almost all Dragon Emperor Realm experts, clearly aware of their identities.

“Seniors, who are they?” Some disciples didn’t recognize them and asked in confusion.

“Earth Sacrifices of the One Slash Palace.”

One Dragon Emperor Realm expert explained, “The Earth Sacrifices of the One Slash Palace are all Dragon Emperor Realm cultivators. The exact number has never been revealed. However, Mancheng and Ding Lin are known to be among the strongest of them. Some have even speculated that within all the Earth Sacrifices of One Slash Palace, they rank exceptionally high.”

“I truly didn’t expect One Slash Palace to go to such lengths, deploying even these two individuals. It seems that, as Nangong Chenfeng said, One Slash Palace would rather offend the Five Great Super Sects than fail to protect Su Baliu!”

“Is One Slash Palace… really that powerful?” The disciple’s eyes gleamed with admiration.

Seeing his expression, the Dragon Emperor Realm expert snorted coldly. Though slightly displeased, he still replied, “One Slash Palace established itself as a Super Sect within seventy years, becoming one of the most formidable forces in the Dragon Martial Continent. Truly terrifying. To this day, no one knows the full extent of One Slash Palace’s power, but it must be admitted–even among other Super Sects, nearly none dare provoke them.”

“Not unwilling, but downright unable to!”

The Dragon Emperor Realm expert reiterated, emphasizing heavily on the words “unable to.”

Hearing his remarks, the disciples suddenly recalled Han Yunlai’s earlier statements.

The Five Great Super Sects had offered to collectively pay ten trillion Spirit Stones–two trillion each–to prevent One Slash Palace from intervening!

Ten trillion Spirit Stones!

This astronomical sum could ensure a Ninth-Rate Sect’s smooth path toward becoming a First-Class Sect, free from want.

Even two trillion Spirit Stones from each sect was an immense fortune.

Their willingness to pay such a hefty price was solely to keep One Slash Palace from taking action!

This demonstrated just how fearsome One Slash Palace truly was.

One of the reasons behind the Five Great Super Sects’ offer was concern that Su Han might escape; the other reason was their reluctance to offend One Slash Palace!

After all, once war began, the two sides would clash relentlessly, and afterward, they would inevitably face reprisals from One Slash Palace.

Still, even with such an overwhelming temptation of ten trillion low-grade Spirit Stones, One Slash Palace remained unmoved.

What more could be said?

One Slash Palace simply didn’t care about the ten trillion!

Or perhaps, compared to Su Han, ten trillion low-grade Spirit Stones didn’t amount to much!

Whenever they pondered this, everyone found it incomprehensible–what kind of value did Su Han possess to make One Slash Palace reject even ten trillion low-grade Spirit Stones?

It was unfathomable, utterly beyond speculation.

…

As these idle onlookers discussed, above the Void, the five Lower-Class Battle Immortals of the Sect of the Battle God wore dark expressions.

Just moments ago, they had been fully capable of killing Su Han, even feeling the rewards from the Five Great Super Sects practically within reach.

Yet Mancheng and Ding Lin’s sudden appearance crushed their hopes into mere delusions!

The best opportunity was missed, and their mood was understandably foul!

Watching as Su Han quickly fled into the distance, the elder who had previously spoken barked again: “Yinxue, Moi Qing, block that little beast!”

Without hesitation, two women responded with a nod. Both were middle-aged, somewhat unattractive in appearance.

They acted decisively, charging straight for Su Han.

But Mancheng let out a cold snort. Without a word, he reached behind his back, drawing a blade directly from its sheath!

“Swoosh!”

His blade shimmered with milky-white radiance, clearly a Holy Spirit Level weapon, and a High-Grade Holy Spirit Level at that!

One slash severed Yinxue and Moi Qing’s path, tearing open a massive spatial rift that loomed before them. If they pushed forward, they would plunge directly into the void.

“You scoundrel!”

Seeing this, Yinxue gritted her teeth, turning back to Mancheng. “Do you seriously think the two of you can stop all five of us?!”

“Killing you? No. But stopping you? Absolutely.” Mancheng shrugged, appearing utterly indifferent.

Even facing five opponents of the same level, neither of them showed any hint of strain.

“Killing you isn’t our goal.”

Ding Lin also grinned. “As long as we can stop you, whether Su Zun escapes or not is up to him.”

“With just the two of you, you think you can hold us back?!”

Yinxue roared furiously, “One Slash Palace, you senseless fools! Since things have come to this, there’s no need for pretense anymore!”

“Get out of my way!!!”

With Yinxue’s thunderous shout, a deafening explosion shook the skies.

The clash between seven Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses was earth-shattering. Meanwhile, Su Han had already fled, leaving the spectating forces shaking their heads slightly as they continued their pursuit of Su Han.
