Chapter 1663 Competition
Profound-grade treasures were very rare. Few Tribulation Stage masters had a Profound-grade treasure. Some people might have two or three Profound-grade treasures. As for Immortal Master Sanlei, he had been in the Cultivation World for so many years, but he didn’t have a single Profound-grade treasure. Now, when he saw this ribbon, he was quite tempted and regarded it as his own.
Seeing that Zhang Han was faster, he was ready to fight.
But at this moment, Zhang Han began to show his acting skills.
“Hmm?”
He frowned slightly, and the threads of Thunder Body controlled by the huge water ball stopped moving.
At this time, Immortal Master Waterheaven and the others approached their enemies and maintained a distance where they could fight at any time.
They were at loggerheads and might attack at any time.
However, Immortal Master Waterheaven intended to hold off the other party, and it was not too late to retreat after getting the Profound-grade treasure.
The Profound-grade treasure that appeared in the secret realm belonged to whoever got it. Even if they left the secret realm, the Sect Leader of the Holy Thunder Sect might not say anything about it.
That was why Immortal Master Waterheaven’s goal was to wait for the other party to make a move, and then stall for time.
After all, Zhang Han had just gone in once, and his speed was much faster than that of the middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator.
“But now?”
Immortal Master Waterheaven pondered for a moment.
He suddenly realized something and looked at Immortal Master Wuluo.
Their thoughts were similar.
They didn’t expect that Zhang Hanyang, who was usually so gentle, would trick them at this time.
“Heh.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven took the initiative to cooperate. “Since there are two competitors within the water ball, let them fight over the treasure.”
“In your dreams.”
Immortal Master Sanlei sneered and said, “No matter what the result is, the Profound-grade treasure is mine. Now that the Highest Clouds Palace dares to compete with me for it, I shall kill all of you.”
“Hahaha, is that so?”
Zhang Han burst into laughter, looked ahead, and whispered, “I will get the Profound-grade treasure and kill you.”
“How dare a nobody talk to me?” Immortal Master Sanlei’s eyes were filled with ridicule.
“Who are you?”
His subordinates spoke up one after another.
It was soldiers versus soldiers and generals versus generals. Since the other side’s subordinate had spoken, it was their turn.
They had to win in terms of doing trash talk.
“Bastard, you’re so young. We are all your ancestors. How dare you even speak?”
“What an arrogant young man!”
“Look, he only used his full strength at the beginning. Now that his speed has decreased, he’s nothing more than trash.”
Under everyone’s gaze, the threads controlled by Zhang Han and transformed from the Thunder Body moved slower and slower as if they were exhausted.
The middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator on the opposite side was very nervous at first. He volunteered for this difficult task. If he succeeded, he could directly become the core subordinate of Immortal Master Sanlei, and his status would be improved many times.
The middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator was taken aback when he saw the other side perform a supernatural power at such a high speed. Now that the other side had slowed down, he laughed wildly and said, “You’re just an insignificant nobody. You’re like a contemptible clown. How dare you show off your supernatural power in front of me? Even your Original Body don’t dare to enter.”
Clatter!
As he spoke, he sped up a little more.
He was getting closer and closer to the Profound-grade treasure.
At the same time, he could hardly feel the Face Devils that had just appeared at this time. Their auras were even more concealed, but he could sense something from the energy fluctuations around the Profound-grade treasure.
“Is it dangerous there?”
The middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator got vigilant. His divine sense couldn’t feel anything, but some looming threads could be seen with the naked eye. They gathered together and formed the outline of a human face.
“What is that?”
“I accept the Profound-grade treasure. Give it to me!”
Swoosh!
Zhang Han controlled his Thunder Body and it suddenly burst out at a very fast speed. As if making a wild dash, he was getting closer and closer to the ribbon.
Soon he would surpass the middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator.
At this time, the expressions of Immortal Master Sanlei and the others changed.
“Little thief, how dare you!”
Immortal Master Sanlei roared angrily.
“Hurry up and get it! Let’s see who dares to make a move!” Immortal Master Waterheaven shouted.
Sizzle!
He held the saber with both hands and glared forward, ready to fight.
But at this time, Immortal Master Sanlei was not in the mood to fight with him. Their eyes were fixed on the situation inside the water ball.
Someone shouted, “Amo, hurry up and snatch it!”
“Amo, move a bit faster.”
Hearing the shouts outside, the middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator in the water ball became anxious.
“Calm down, calm down!”
Wisps of cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He had no choice but to use all his energy to perform the occult art much faster.
But when he was fast, his perception and defense against the surroundings grew weaker.
“Calm down… The Profound-grade treasure is floating here. There may be danger around. What’s more, what I just saw…”
The middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator forced himself to calm down.
He was fast and cautious at the same time.
Swoosh!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Han controlled the threads faster.
He was getting closer and closer to the ribbon.
“Damn it!”
The middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator gritted his teeth, took out a ninth-class pearl in his hand, crushed it, and sped up again.
When he was dozens of meters away-
“As I said, I will get the Profound-grade treasure and kill you,” Zhang Han said in a calm tone outside as if he had a well-thought-out plan.
“Hurry up!”
“Don’t let him get it.”
The middle-aged man’s teammates kept shouting.
At this time, the mentality of the middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator was more or less affected.
“I’ll get it!”
His eyes lit up, and his body expanded by three meters. He crossed more than 30 meters in one step and stretched out his right hand. “Come to me!”
Zhang Han suddenly stopped using the Thunder Body’s threads.
At the same time, he looked ahead with a smile.
“Got it!”
The middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator felt that his hand had controlled the ribbon. If he took it away, he would succeed.
“I made it!”
However, in the next second-
“AHHHHH…”
Face Devils appeared one after another. The attacks they launched directly annihilated the middle-aged Dao Seeking Cultivator, leaving only a scream echoing.
“What?!”
The expression of Immortal Master Sanlei changed, and the others also felt a chill down their spines.
If they had just entered, they might not have been able to defend themselves.
“What are those things?”
“Sure enough, there are terrifying creatures around the Profound-grade treasure.”
“…”
These people felt terrified and desperate.
Immortal Master Sanlei looked at the side of Immortal Master Waterheaven, and he looked ferocious. “Kill them!”
“Lightning Split!”
Immortal Master Sanlei kept condensing the thunder ball in his right hand into the size of a basketball. Then, he suddenly threw it forward. A thunder ball split into dozens of thunderbolts.
His attack absorbed a lot of the power of lightning in the surroundings, and his momentum became stronger and stronger. The light blue lightning also gathered into a deep blue color and charged at Immortal Master Waterheaven.
“Kill them!”
Immortal Master Waterheaven bellowed.
The two sides began to fight.
Yue Wuwei also launched attacks one by one from behind. Although his attacks were very powerful, they were not helpful in the battle against those at the Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier.
Zhang Han didn’t make a move. He was waiting.
Inside the water ball, the ribbon was surrounded by the Face Devils, which were still flickering.
After they calmed down, Zhang Han took out the ribbon.
Boom!
The powerful attacks from both sides released all types of radiance. Clouds and mist pervaded the air, great winds stirring about, the fluctuations in this region gradually enlarging.
“That’s what the Sect Leader of the Highest Clouds Palace can do?”
Immortal Master Sanlei took out a flag and waved it. Countless long swords filled with thunder energy whistled over, mixed with a fierce aura.
Immortal Master Waterheaven was no inferior, and all kinds of attacks offset each other.
After holding on for two minutes, he finally began to retreat.
“How’s it going, Hanyang?”
Immortal Master Waterheaven said to him via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “I can’t hold on much longer.”
In the outside world, they could fight, but in the Thunder Stream Domain, their enemies were proficient in the Thunder Control Technique, whose combat capability was greatly improved. Immortal Master Waterheaven got suppressed.
Zhang Han replied, “Hold on for a minute. I’ll kill them when I get the Profound-grade treasure.”
“You were still babies when I reached the ninth tier.”
Immortal Master Sanlei looked indifferent. He had made up his mind to kill the other side first, and then think about getting the Profound-grade treasure.
Most of the Thunder Control Techniques of the Holy Thunder Sect were mastered by the flag, which was sealed with many secret thunder skills that could be controlled.
Therefore, for a moment, the attacks of more than a dozen people were like a storm.
As for Immortal Master Waterheaven, he was still unable to defeat them even with his own strength.
In just half a minute, there were very few Face Devils around the ribbon.
But at this time, someone in Immortal Master Waterheaven’s team had been injured. Although they were slightly injured, it meant that they could not hold on any longer.
Seeing this, Zhang Han frowned slightly.
“Step back a hundred meters. Let me do it.”
Right after he said that-
“Ow!”
An earth-shattering roar rang out.
The Golden-armored Giant Beast turned into a thousand meters long and flew forward at a high speed. It waved its huge front claws as if it were cutting heaven and earth, sending out sharp cutting energy.
“Hmm?”
Immortal Master Sanlei’s pupils contracted. “You even have an ancient demonic beast?”
He looked at Zhang Han.
Finally, his expression changed.
“His aura is only at the eighth tier of the Tribulation Stage. I can kill him!”
Immortal Master Sanlei roughly felt it and thought that Zhang Han was at the eighth tier.
In fact, he was only at the Peak Stage of the seventh tier.
“Ow!”
The Golden-armored Giant Beast roared again.
The horn on its head emitted a golden light.
Zhang Han released the Golden-armored Giant Beast not to attack, but to defend.
The beast could handle much beating. When the thunderbolts hit it, it only felt a little numb. Even Zhang Han was amazed by such a defense.
However, Immortal Master Waterheaven could not bear to do so.
He said, “Let’s fight quickly. Don’t let them hurt Lil Beast.”
In his eyes, Lil Beast was still an Exotic Beast that had not grown up and needed protection.
As such, they continued to attack from behind.
For a moment, because of the appearance of the Golden-armored Giant Beast, the two sides were balanced.
“Dragon King’s combat strength is so strong.”
After observing for a few seconds, Immortal Master Wuluo couldn’t help but gasp. “It has been able to hold on for so long, but it’s still so calm and steady. Judging from its aura, it’s totally fine.”
“It’s the Dragon King!”
Immortal Master Waterheaven said grumpily, “What aura? Hurry up and kill those people. If Lil Beast is injured, who knows how many years it will take for it to recover.”
With Immortal Master Waterheaven here, no one dared to slack off. They were even faster than before.
It didn’t matter if they got injured, but the Palace Master would be enraged if Lil Beast was injured.
Fortunately, they only needed to handle some of the enemy’s attacks behind the Golden-armored Giant Beast.
Right then, Immortal Master Sanlei and the others had different looks in their eyes.
“Where did they get the ancient demonic beast?”
“This guy is so fierce.”
“The Highest Clouds Palace is not qualified to own an ancient demonic beast, is it?”
