In front of Wanhe Palace.
Qu Xingyuan and the others never imagined that Shen Han would dare to speak like this here.
An expert of the Illusion Realm is not a mere cabbage, not someone you can casually pick up.
You Wanying is willing to take poison and accept Wanhe Palace’s control.
Under such conditions, Wanhe Palace naturally wouldn’t want to give up.
Qu Xingyuan stepped forward holding a giant axe in his hand, while not far away, Shen Han revealed a long sword, showing his stance.
The surroundings instantly fell silent, and the group quietly watched.
Before Qu Xingyuan could make a move, an elderly man stepped out from the crowd.
"Xingyuan, step back, let this old man meet him."
Seeing the elder, even Qu Xingyuan, the son of the Palace Master, hurriedly bowed to greet him.
"Elder Xie, this person..."
Elder Xie, named Xie Canxin, is a veteran powerhouse of Wanhe Palace, regarded by many as their number one expert.
"In all my years at Wanhe Palace, this is the first time I’ve heard someone dare to claim they are Wanhe Palace’s enemy in front of me.
Thinking they have some talent and luck, they become arrogant to the extreme.
This old man is usually tolerant of young people, but you really annoy me.
If you’re so capable, let’s exchange a few moves.
You don’t need to defeat me, just hold your ground and You Wanying will be at your disposal."
Upon hearing this, You Wanying’s face changed slightly.
But on second thought, if Shen Han can hold his ground against Xie Canxin, Wanhe Palace might not be able to protect her.
Not far away, Dean Sixin quickly walked toward Shen Han.
"Xie Canxin is Wanhe Palace’s top expert, Shen Han, you can’t be his match.
Though both are Illusion Realm, there’s a significant difference between realms.
The Sect Leader and I are both Illusion Realm; can I compare to him?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Han merely nodded without responding further and stepped forward.
Xie Canxin held a short axe, lacking the presence of Qu Xingyuan’s giant axe.
Yet, none belittled it.
Seeing Xie Canxin about to strike, the Illusion Realm experts around slightly retreated.
There’s a disparity among Illusion Realm experts.
Xie Canxin was the pinnacle among them.
The surrounding suddenly seemed to move.
In an instant, the worn short axe emitted a terrifying aura.
The blade gleamed silver, capable of cleaving anything.
The axe’s whistling shattered the tranquility of the world.
The swing seemed to freeze all creation in place.
No strength or courage to counter.
Seeing Shen Han’s reaction, Xie Canxin frowned.
Seemingly unsatisfied, perhaps even disappointed.
"I thought you had some extraordinary skills, but now it seems you’re just conceited and arrogant.
Made this old man waste some interest."
Saying that, the short axe descended.
Yet upon contact with Shen Han, it didn’t play out as everyone expected.
Xie Canxin’s hand holding the axe seemingly lost strength, weakly falling on Shen Han without raising dust...
The previous disheartened expression turned to shock.
Shen Han grasped the short axe, broke it with ease, and discarded it.
The sudden twist left everyone stunned.
No one anticipated this outcome, even those most optimistic about Shen Han only thought he could spar with Xie Canxin.
The expected outcome was still Xie Canxin’s victory.
Yet now, Xie Canxin’s body seemed frozen.
Even as Shen Han snapped his axe and tossed it aside, he remained motionless.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if witnessing something monumental.
Once regaining consciousness, Wanhe Palace members still couldn’t believe reality.
Qu Chongshan couldn’t help but ask: "Elder Xie, Elder Xie... why did you..."
Hearing his voice, Shen Han slightly turned his head toward him.
"Why did he stop and not strike me, right?
It’s not that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t, he lacked the strength."
Shen Han spoke softly, tone indifferent.
Seemingly dismissing Xie Canxin entirely.
Wanhe Palace’s top expert, pinnacle of Illusion Realm, subdued so effortlessly...
First Grade Realm is a cut above Illusion Realm.
Moreover, Shen Han has realized the function of the [Primordial] entry.
In the Immortal Realm, why did those strong immortals’ breaths falter before the Primordial Lamp?
Primordial Qi affects even Immortal Realm powerhouses, not to mention ordinary Illusion Realm.
Just a touch of Primordial Power renders Xie Canxin powerless to resist.
"Elder Xie, Elder Xie..."
Upon hearing Shen Han’s words, Wanhe Palace folks grew slightly panicked.
Xie Canxin’s prowess already surpassed theirs, none but the Palace Master possibly his match.
Other Illusion Realm behind him were significantly lesser.
But now, Xie Canxin seemed stripped of strength, dumbfounded on the spot.
Qu Xingyuan, who had previously taunted, had his lips shiver uncontrollably.
Earlier, he spoke arrogantly, dismissing Shen Han entirely.
If Elder Xie hadn’t intervened, it would’ve been him facing Shen Han...
The prior contempt vanished completely now.
