His Highness' mansion was in deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Xu Han at that time, looking at this youth with a cold expression and a white cloth tied to his right arm.
Of course, they did not think that Xu Han was definitely not a match for this strong man, but what they did not expect was that an expert at the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm had been defeated by Xu Han in such a short period of time.
And Xu Han's cultivation was only at the Heavenly Hunt Realm.
The difference in cultivation realms and the cleanliness of victory were undoubtedly shocking.
The sturdy man's waist was pierced by Xu Han. Although it was not life-threatening, it was obvious that he had lost his combat strength.
After a brief moment of surprise, Li Moding finally came to his senses.
"Quick! Bring him down for treatment." As he said this, several armored soldiers flew out from both sides of the hall and helped the sturdy man down with a painful expression.
Then, the Li Clan's prince's expression darkened. He looked at Xu Han and asked, "Brat, this Dragon Gate Society is not your place to fight to the death. Isn't your move too vicious?"
'"Saber and sword have no eyes. It's the same in ancient times. Even if Your Highness is here, I will still be like this. Moreover, with that sword strike just now, I have the ability to take that person's life. This is already holding back. If Your Highness feels that it is inappropriate, he can share it with the Master Xuantong beside you." Xu Han was sick and tired of Li Moding making things difficult for him, and he was even more impolite when he spoke at this moment.
Li Moding was immediately stupefied. He subconsciously looked at the Master Xuan Tong beside him. However, he saw that his opponent's expression was the same as usual and did not have any intention of participating. He knew that he would lose face if he continued to talk about this matter. He simply flicked his sleeve and sat back down.
Li Dingxian looked at his father who didn't look gloomy. He smiled faintly and walked to his side. He whispered in his ear, "Father, don't panic. Look at that kid's aura. He's obviously exhausted a lot of energy to defeat Liu Cheng. He's at the end of his rope."
Hearing this, Li Moding looked over and saw that it was exactly as Li Ding Xian had said. Although Xu Han looked like a gentle breeze, the undulations on his chest were extremely obvious. His eyes instantly narrowed, and bursts of coldness lit up in them.
"Not to mention that he can defeat Liu Cheng like this, and I can also do it, and I can do it better than him." Li Dingxian's voice rang out again. At that time, the Li family's heir's eyes were filled with a strong fighting spirit and determination.
…
Xu Han, who was once again at the top of the list, shook his right hand and the blood light on his sword fell off. Then, he swept his gaze over everyone present, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He said loudly, "Next, hurry up."
That appearance and tone of voice were naturally extremely arrogant and domineering, but everyone present seemed to be shocked by his aura. For a moment, the main hall was silent and utterly silent.
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of the crowd and landed in front of Xu Han.
No matter how he looked at it, he was already over forty years old. He held a broadsword in his hand, and his aura was condensed. He was clearly an expert at the Great Perfection Stage of the Mortal Realm.
He cupped his hands towards Xu Han and said, "I'm going to land…"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Han.
"I don't care what your name is. I have 800 defeated generals without a thousand. How can I remember them one by one? Let's begin. I'm in a hurry."
Xu Han weighed the pitch black sword in his hand and said truthfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward at an extremely fast speed before the person could respond.
…
In less than fifteen minutes, Xu Han had already defeated another three challengers at high speed. Although the three of them had different cultivation methods and used different weapons, Xu Han had found some similarities from them. Their moves were rough, they were open and close, but they also had a shocking sense of smell. Clearly, they were skills that could only be honed after experiencing the battlefield for a long time. There was another point that was open to question. These four people were all without exception. No matter how they looked, they did not look like they were 30 years old or younger.
Seeing the fourth challenger being carried out of the hall by the guards in the palace, the people in the hall were completely shocked by Xu Han's successive quick victories. Xu Han was only in his early twenties, and his cultivation was comparable to that of a Heavenly Hunt Realm cultivator, yet he was able to defeat a group of experts at the Great Perfection Realm one by one. Moreover, it had only taken him fifteen minutes. Such a monstrous genius should not have never been mentioned before.
However, Xu Han did not have the mood to investigate what these people were thinking. He turned around with an indifferent expression and pointed his sword straight at Li Dingxian, who was sitting next to Li Moding .
Xu Han smiled and said, "I think the last one is Young Master Li, right?"
This was a very easy thing to guess.
The matter of the Li Clan's palace sending Li Moding to the Sword Handling Pavilion was not a secret in the Heng Imperial City.
At this time, Li Moding had yet to enter the rankings, so the idea he was planning was clearly the top spot on the Bronze Execution Rankings.
The four major powers of the Mortal Realm took turns to consume Xu Han's combat strength. Not only would Li Dingxian be able to win the championship, Xu Han would also be kicked out of the rankings because Li Dingxian was not on the rankings. The plan of killing two birds with one stone was excellent, but Xu Han might not fulfill the wishes of the father and son.
This Crown Prince Li was also a carefree person. After being exposed by Xu Han, he did not hesitate and landed in the main hall with a leap. Along with him, he also landed a golden spear.
It followed Li Dingxian's body like a streak of light and fiercely stabbed into the ground of the Prince's Mansion. The spear body shook slightly and emitted bursts of soft noises.
"Li Dingxian greets you." At that time, the Li Clan's Crown Prince cupped his hands and said to Xu Han. He was originally handsome. In addition, at this moment, his neither humble nor arrogant posture was extremely graceful, causing people to yearn for him.
In contrast, Xu Han's attitude was much more rude.
"Let's begin. I'm already so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. I want to finish the fight quickly and eat another chicken cooked by His Highness." Xu Han said with a smile, and the teasing between his eyebrows was not concealed.
Li Dingxian's beautiful face immediately revealed a wisp of anger. Although these words were extremely low, they were always mentioned by Xu Han and the others, and Li Dingxian was also quite tired of them.
He let out a cold harrumph at that moment, and with a sudden lift of his toes, the golden spear was held in his hand at that moment, and a spear flower danced out with it. He leaned sideways, held the spear in both hands, and stepped forward with one foot, retreated with one foot, and put on a posture.
At that time, the true essence in his body was circulated at full power, and three golden flood dragons appeared in his body.
One was sitting on his gun, while the other two were on his left and right, staring covetously at Xu Han.
"Brother Xu, please teach me!"
…
Li Dingxian was one of the most important cultivators of the Li Imperial Clan.
Naturally, his ability could not be underestimated.
At that time, his eyes narrowed as he slapped the end of the spear with his left hand and the spear flew out from his right hand.
The flood dragon roaring above the spear seemed to have merged with the spear.
Xu Han didn't dare to hold it up, and he took a few steps back. The longsword in his hand was placed horizontally in front of his chest.
Boom!
Along with a loud dragon cry, Xu Han's sword, the flood dragon, fiercely collided with each other.
An enormous force came along, and Xu Han was shocked and thought to himself that something was wrong.
But how could Li Dingxian be an easy person?
His body had already rushed over with the spear, and at that time, he grasped the spear's tail and forcefully raised it. Xu Han was caught off guard, and the sword in his hand almost fell off.
Before Xu Han could regain his senses, Li Dingxian's other hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the end of the spear. He used a force to hack Huashan Mountain, fiercely hacking the spear in his hand towards Xu Han's face.
At this moment, Xu Han, with all of his old strength, had yet to salute, so he simply had no time to deal with this powerful and heavy strike.
He had no choice but to point his toes to the ground and tilt his body. Only then did he avoid this killing move in a sorry state.
However, Li Dingxian did not intend to let Xu Han off just like that. The two flood dragons behind him howled and attacked Xu Han, who had yet to gain a foothold.
Xu Han was shocked. Sword intent circulated within his body. Thousands of golden sword shadows surged out from the pitch-black sword, heading towards the two flood dragons.
Immediately, the golden sword shadows flew backwards under the impact of the flood dragon and pierced into the various parts of the palace hall.
Xu Han, who had used this to block the flood dragon's attack, was able to dodge this killing move and stand firmly on his feet. However, his expression was still ugly and he was panting heavily.
All of this was said to be too late, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was merely a flash of lightning and flint. However, to Xu Han, it was true, and he had seen many dangerous moves several times.
This time, Li Dingxian did not rush to attack. Instead, he held his gun in one hand and straightened his body. He smiled as he looked at Xu Han and asked, "What's wrong? Young Master Xu is not strong enough. Do you want me to let you rest for a while?"
Naturally, there was no reason to rest in this duel. Li Dingxian's words were only mocking Xu Han.
However, what he never expected was that after hearing this, Xu Han actually smiled at him and said, "Alright."
After saying that, Xu Han actually sheathed his sword and sat down cross-legged. He actually circulated the sword intent in his body and began to breathe.
This action caused everyone present to be stunned.
At that time, everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Xu Han, who had already closed his eyes and was deep in thought, as if they had seen the most inconceivable scene in the world.
Not far away, the monk who had never paid any attention to what had happened at the Dragon Gate Meeting raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Han with interest.
Li Dingxian frowned and slowly paced around Xu Han with his gun in hand.
He was also secretly assessing what Xu Han was planning. Even at this time, he did not think that Xu Han was really closing his eyes to rest. Based on what he knew about Xu Han's actions, he didn't think he would do such a ridiculous thing.
At this moment, the more Xu Han looked like the empty door was wide open, the more uneasy Li Dingxian felt.
There was a sudden change in the crowd. Several people who hadn't participated in the Dragon Gate Gathering but had infiltrated the crowd were about to exclaim again.
However, at this moment, the monk sitting beside Li Moding raised his eyebrows and flicked his fingers. The cries of shock that those people exclaimed when they reached their throats were all swallowed back. Their faces were ugly as they stood on the spot, unable to move as if they were covered in invisible chains.
…
Li Dingxian frowned deeper and deeper.
In the blink of an eye, thirty breaths had passed. He subconsciously raised his head to look at his father, only to see Li Moding 's face turning ashen. Li Dingxian's heart trembled, and he turned to look at the people around him, only to see that their faces were also pale.
There were some who were fascinated by the situation, and those who watched from the sidelines were clear.
Li Dingxian did not understand the true meaning behind this and thought that everyone was laughing at him when they saw that he did not dare to step forward.
His heart skipped a beat, and the spear in his hand shook. Two flood dragons wrapped around the spear and charged straight at Xu Han.
He was indeed smart. While he wasn't sure what Xu Han was planning, he still left behind a flood dragon to protect him and even his surroundings in case anything unexpected happened.
Although his abacus was good, it was just as he was about to take a step forward, and his killing move had already been completed.
Li Moding , who was sitting on the seat, stood up with a frightened expression. The expressions of the spectators around him also changed drastically.
Li Dingxian was immediately shocked and thought to himself, "Not good."
At this moment, Xu Han, who was sitting quietly on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. A sword light lit up in his eyes, and a loud sword cry came from Li Dingxian's side.
Li Dingxian didn't dare to be arrogant, so he hurriedly withdrew his spear momentum to kill Xu Han. At that time, the flood dragon on his body let out a long howl as he tried to meet Xu Han behind him.
There, the golden sword shadows still turned into a sword dragon and charged straight at him.
But after the flood dragon and the stegosaurus clashed.
Roar!
A painful dragon cry sounded out from the flood dragon's mouth. After colliding with the flood dragon, the long tail formed by the sword shadow behind the sword dragon suddenly spread out like a peacock. Afterwards, it tilted down like a rainstorm pear blossom, continuously colliding with the flood dragon's body.
In the blink of an eye, the flood dragon's body was covered in golden sword shadows.
Boom!
Then, with a loud explosion, the flood dragon's body shook, and in the end, it turned into specks of light and completely dispersed.
Li Dingxian, who was pulling out his gun to defend himself, was defeated by the True Spirit connected to the Heart God. His body trembled and his face flushed red. However, Xu Han's sword moves did not stop. After defeating the True Spirit, he unexpectedly attacked Li Dingxian again.
This Li Dingxian was also a decisive person. At that time, he forcefully suppressed the surging qi and blood in his body. The two flood dragons on the spear howled as they faced the incoming sword move before neutralizing it.
But when he retracted the flood dragon, the backlash from the shattered flood dragon became even more turbulent. He had no choice but to use his spear to stand upright.
At that time, His Highness the Crown Prince looked at Xu Han with hatred in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "I kindly told you to rest and recuperate, but you secretly cheated. Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at such a despicable act?"
At this time, he naturally understood that Xu Han's so-called recuperation was actually a sword shadow that had been shot out from the previous duel and condensed behind him. However, he had been focusing his attention on Xu Han's body, so he didn't notice it at all.
Thinking of this, His Highness the Crown Prince felt even more unwilling.
"Isn't it also His Highness the Crown Prince who agreed to let me rest? Why are you blaming someone else for suddenly taking action?" Xu Han asked with narrowed eyes and a smile.
Hearing this, Li Dingxian was instantly enraged, "There's no shortage of tricks. This time, I miscalculated!"
After he finished speaking, he raised the gun in his hand again and took a step forward. The two flood dragons behind him were coiled around him and were about to attack again to contend against Xu Han.
However, the internal strength that he had just brought up caused the feeling of surging blood and qi that he had suppressed to intensify once again. His expression immediately turned ugly, and his footsteps froze in place at that moment.
"Little Prince seems to be powerless to fight anymore. If I don't stop here, I don't want to take advantage of others' danger." Xu Han said with his hands behind his back, as if he was confident of victory.
Li Dingxian's heart sank. He looked at the silent Li Moding , whose expression was extremely ugly. He knew that his father was not willing to give up.
He shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Li Imperial Clan's resurgence. Whether it was his father or the current Emperor, they all had high hopes for him. He did not go to the Sword Handling Pavilion and walked through the Demon Suppressing Pagoda before he could lay a solid foundation for his future breakthrough to the Immortal Realm. This was extremely important to him and the Li Clan.
Thinking like this, Li Dingxian gritted his teeth and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He coldly said, "I have to win for a reason!"
After saying that, Li Dingxian's body paused and he unexpectedly activated two flood dragons to charge towards Xu Han again.
However, this time, both his speed and the force wrapped around his spear seemed to be much weaker than before. Xu Han shook his head and gently dodged Li Dingxian's attack with a flash of his body.
The moment he passed by, the sword in Xu Han's hand turned around and slammed into Li Dingxian's waist. His Highness the Crown Prince was careless, and his body fell to the ground in a sorry state.
This caused Li Dingxian's qi and blood to surge. The mouthful of blood that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be wrapped around him. It spat out from his mouth, but he was still unwilling and was about to stand up and fight again.
But at that time, the pitch-black sword in Xu Han's hand still landed on his neck.
"Admit defeat. Everyone has his reasons for winning, but in the end, only one person is destined to win." Xu Han looked at Li Dingxian who was in a sorry state and said with a complicated gaze.
This was not because he was soft-hearted, but because he sighed with emotion, but it did not hinder his determination.
Li Dingxian, who no longer had any fighting strength, looked at his father again. However, the other party did not show any intention of stopping this battle. Li Dingxian's expression changed slightly and he gritted his teeth as he tried to stand up again. However, Xu Han's sharp sword that was blocking his throat did not give him any chance. It was obvious that he did not intend to give him any more chances.
"I'll give Little Prince five breaths of time. If you don't admit defeat, don't blame me for being heartless." Xu Han seemed to be tired of Li Dingxian's hesitation, so he said again at that time.
As soon as he finished speaking, he began his countdown.
"Five…"
"Four…"
Hearing this, Li Dingxian's expression was also extremely ugly, but he also recognized his current thoughts. He was about to admit defeat, but before he could say anything, Xu Han suddenly used the hilt of the longsword in his hand to ruthlessly knock on his forehead.
Li Dingxian's eyes darkened and he instantly fainted on the ground.
Before he lost consciousness, Xu Han's voice sounded in his ears again.
"There's no shortage of tricks. Little Prince still doesn't have a long memory."
