The eighth bolt of heavenly lightning landed on Xu Han's body.
His body staggered and almost fell to the ground, but he clenched his teeth and forcefully stabilized his body, not letting himself fall to the ground in a sorry state. Even so, anyone could tell that Xu Han was at the end of his rope.
"From the fourth lightning tribulation onwards, the strength of the lightning tribulation in the Immortal Realm has reached the same level." Someone among the black-robed people surrounding Xu Han said at that time.
"Although it is inconceivable for him to be able to reach the Great Evolution Realm and the Undying Realm's physical body at his age, he is still incapable of dealing with such a lightning tribulation."
"Do you have the strength? Haha, from my point of view, I'm afraid no one here can withstand so many lightning tribulations at such a cultivation level. This brat is definitely not an ordinary thing."
The people around him were still commenting on each other. Xu Han had sensed the existence of these people early in the morning, but the pressure from the Heavenly Thunder was truly too great. He was unable to distinguish between his body and mind to measure the intent of these uninvited guests. Especially when the eighth dao touched his body, the enormous power of thunder and lightning almost shattered all of his internal organs and meridians.
He tried his best to mobilize the starlight in his body, and also activated the technique of the "Great Dragon Elephant Seal". He could only barely maintain the balance between the damage to his body and the repair of it. It was no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Xu Han was only relying on an unyielding viciousness to support his final breath.
Once he let out this breath, he would no longer have any vitality.
However, this eighth bolt of lightning had already made him feel so embarrassed. When the ninth bolt of lightning descended, Xu Han did not have the slightest confidence that he could withstand it. The only fortunate thing was that even though Wu Mingqiu and the others hadn't been completely killed under the might of the heavenly lightning, they had been knocked unconscious because of the difficulty in mobilizing the True Essence Barrier.
At the very least, Hongjian and the others would not be implicated because of this, Xu Han thought to himself, but he felt much more at ease.
At this moment, the power of the eighth bolt of lightning was still raging in his body. The ninth bolt of lightning had already been brewed, and was about to descend. Obviously, there was a hidden power controlling all of this, and that power did not intend to leave Xu Han any way to survive from the beginning until the end.
Rumble!
A loud noise exploded in the clouds.
The ninth bolt of heavenly lightning descended towards Xu Han with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
…
"He can't hold on for the ninth time." The phantom image that surged out from Meng Liang's sword suddenly said.
The black robes around them stopped talking when they heard this. Their faces no longer had the relaxed expression they had before. Instead, they became solemn one after another.
"Let's begin over there." Someone said this.
A cold aura began to stir under their black robes. They mixed together to form a barrier that floated above Xu Han's head. At that time, the heavenly thunder that was about to land on Xu Han seemed to have been forbidden by some sort of royal decree.
Afterwards, the black robes continuously formed hand seals. A vast aura surged out from their bodies and rushed towards Xu Han. Xu Han's damaged internal organs were repaired instantly after the aura entered.
He gradually regained his consciousness and immediately looked up. He saw the phantom that was surging out of the sword at the first glance.
"Senior Azure" His body trembled violently as if he was struck by lightning, and he spat out these three words in his mouth like he was talking in a dream.
Canghai Liu smiled faintly. He was about to say something.
Rumble!
Another loud thunder rang out from the dome.
The tribulation lightning that had already exhausted its strength did not dissipate. Instead, it surged and turned into a giant face in the sky.
The eyes of the gigantic face opened, and there was a galloping lightning snake flashing within.
"You … dare to bully me?"
Then, a voice as vigorous as Huang Lu resounded across the dome.
Canghai's words were interrupted. He seemed to be a little unhappy. He raised his eyes to look at the dome, but ignored the other party. In the blink of an eye, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Han again.
"I haven't seen you for so long. I didn't expect you to have grown to such an extent." Canghai Liu said with a smile.
The expression on Xu Han's face became somewhat complicated. Of course, thousands of words were piled up in his heart, but he was unable to express them. After a while, he only said, "Aren't you … dead?"
"Yes." Canghai Liu grinned and admitted this fact very calmly. "He is indeed dead. It was thanks to Senior Brother's sword and the boundless sword intent of the Sword Mausoleum that he managed to appear as a sword spirit. However, it is estimated that he will not be able to continue hiding anymore."
Xu Han was stunned. At this moment, he could clearly see that Canghai Liuliu's figure was actually a flickering phantom.
Then he looked around. A group of black-robed figures stood beneath him. Not far away, a few barriers opened. Ye Hongjian and the others seemed to be wrapped in them. A black cat suddenly flew out from afar and jumped into the arms of the Vast Ocean Stream. Above his head, a purple lightning snake remained motionless, and a huge face roared in the sky.
All of this was naturally extremely strange. If he were to call someone else, he would probably have long lost his footing.
However, after a brief moment of daze, Xu Han returned to his normal state.
At the very least, he knew that these uninvited guests weren't here to kill him, because if they wanted to kill him, they would have countless opportunities to do so in the face of his lightning tribulation. He looked at Canghai Liu with a calm brow, "Senior Azure has spent so much effort to find me. What do you want to do?"
At that time, Xu Han's attitude became a little cold, and he intentionally alienated her without any intention of being close to her.
"Meow?" Xuan'er, who had jumped into Canghai Liuliu's embrace, seemed to have sensed something contained in Xu Han's tone. She shouted in dissatisfaction, as if she was questioning why Xu Han was like this.
Canghai Liu reached out and stroked Xuan'er's head to placate the puzzlement and confusion in the little fellow's amber eyes.
"You have a question in your heart. I want to solve this question so that our conversation can continue." Canghai Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Han with a smile.
Xu Han's expression froze. He could tell that Canghai Liuliu had not lied to him. As a sword spirit, it relied on the boundless sword intent of the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum to nourish itself. After leaving the sword mausoleum, without the support of the sword intent, it was impossible for Canghai Liuliu's sword spirit to last for too long.
He wore the Great Desolate Zhou of Vietnam and came here to find him. Naturally, he should have something important to tell him. Xu Han was not willing to cling to the past with the Vastsea Current that didn't have much time left. Or rather, deep down in his heart, he didn't want to hear the Vastsea Current admit something that was already the truth with his own ears.
But at this moment, since Canghai Liu asked, Xu Han knew that he had no room to retreat.
Then his expression sank. After taking a deep breath, he still asked, "Did you know about the Dragon-Snake Twin Technique back then?"
A divine light shone through the narrowed eyes of the Vast Ocean Stream.
He stared at Xu Han and didn't say anything for a long time. Then, he suddenly shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Han's face was filled with joy. Before such joy could ripple across his face, Canghai Liu's voice sounded again.
"I was the one who handed you over to Mu Yushan…"
"So to be exact, I'm not an insider of this matter…"
"It's the executor."
