Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han hid in a small cave. The heavy rain was still falling, but his mood had improved slightly.

Because as he traveled, he discovered that all the warriors searching the mountains and fields had retreated.

This indicated that his earlier attack had frightened them off, and he finally had a chance to catch his breath.

He had been physically and mentally exhausted these past few days. He didn't want to do anything now but sleep soundly, for days and nights.

He sat cross-legged in the cave for a while, and after thinking about it, decided to leave.

This place was too close to the battlefield, and the cave he was in was too conspicuous. He was afraid of being discovered while sleeping, so he decided to find a more hidden place to rest.

He rushed out into the rain, still highly vigilant, and ran eastwards.

He remembered a good canyon he had seen before, with many natural caves where he could find a secluded spot to rest.

He ran quickly, and not finding any warriors along the way, Jiang Han felt more at ease.

It seemed that the people from Lu Xian Peak wouldn't be chasing him for a while. He just didn't know what tricks they would use to track him down later.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the canyon.

However, just as he was about to enter, a warship quickly broke through the sky from the north. He frowned slightly and, without hesitation, used the Wind Escape Technique to escape.

"Hehe!"

Standing on the warship was a short, thin old man named Shen Dihu, also a member of the Shen family, but not from the same lineage as Shen Tianbao.

He looked down, sensed the spatial fluctuations, and sneered. Then, with a wave of his hand, a yellow light flashed.

"Shoo!"

He condensed a large hand, translucent and several feet in size.

He waved his hand, and the large hand swooped down, striking a small mountain below.

"Boom!"

The small mountain exploded, leaving a deep palm print on the ground. Jiang Han's body was deeply embedded at the bottom of the print, covered in blood, with many bones shattered.

"Heavenly Human Realm!"

Jiang Han struggled to look up, a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

He released the Wind Escape Technique, transforming into a wisp of breeze, but was easily locked on and severely injured with a single palm?

Only a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator could possess such combat power!

"Run, why aren't you running?"

Shen Dihu sneered, controlling the warship to descend slowly, his eyes full of mockery.

He could have killed Jiang Han with a single palm strike earlier, but he had controlled his power.

Shen Longxiang had said to capture him alive, and he didn't want Jiang Han to die so easily. He wanted to torture him thoroughly.

Because… one of the five Reincarnation Realm cultivators killed by Jiang Han's Roaring Thunder Dragon was a junior from his lineage.

Jiang Han struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked up at Shen Dihu mockingly, saying, "Old thing, you're almost in the ground, yet you're still a Heavenly Human Realm expert. Defeating a young man of less than twenty, do you feel very impressive?"

Shen Dihu felt no shame at Jiang Han's mockery. He sneered and said, "What's the point of saying these things? This world has no logic, only the law of the jungle. The weak are prey to the strong. You are weaker than me, so I have the right to decide your life and death."

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han chuckled in contempt and shook his head, saying, "You old dog are indeed shameless. You Shens are all the same. If you have the ability, suppress your realm to the ninth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and we'll fight. Old dog, do you dare?"

"Provocation is useless against me!"

Shen Dihu looked into the distance, noticing Shen Longxiang's warship approaching. He looked at Jiang Han indifferently and said, "Don't waste your energy. Just wait for the public trial at Wangyue Peak."

"Buzz ~"

Jiang Han's hand suddenly waved in the air, and a thunder dragon roared out.

He released the Roaring Thunder Dragon again. He had released it once before, and all the thunder energy in the Mountain and Sea Shrine had been exhausted.

The Roaring Thunder Dragon he released now was powered by the cyan energy absorbed by the Mountain and Sea Shrine from outside the Heavenly Beast Cauldron.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much energy. The thunder dragon he released was noticeably smaller than before. He looked at the roaring thunder dragon and prayed silently, hoping it could once again draw down lightning from the sky.

"Good!"

As the thunder dragon roared upwards, a bolt of lightning happened to strike from the clouds above. The lightning was drawn over and merged with the thunder dragon.

"Aww ~"

The thunder dragon roared in the air, its voice extremely loud, spreading for dozens of miles. All the warriors on the warships watching the excitement in the distance could hear it.

"Jiang Han is over there!"

"Hurry!"

More than a dozen warships quickly broke through the sky towards this side.

Now that there were no warriors chasing Jiang Han outside the city, Jiang Han's release of the Roaring Thunder Dragon likely meant he was fighting a Heavenly Human Realm expert from Lu Xian Peak.

"Hmm?"

Shen Dihu looked at the thunder dragon in the air, a trace of solemnity on his face.

He secretly regretted saying so much nonsense and should have sealed Jiang Han immediately.

The Roaring Thunder Dragon descended too quickly. Shen Dihu didn't hesitate, condensing a pair of light wings on his back, and quickly moved hundreds of feet away with a flash.

He actually had the confidence to withstand the thunder dragon's attack, but he wasn't stupid. Why would he take it head-on?

However…

After he moved, the thunder dragon in the air suddenly turned, as if it had locked onto him, and shot towards him quickly.

"Ah?"

Shen Dihu's expression changed. The wings on his back flickered, and his body transformed into a stream of light, quickly flying away.

The thunder dragon indeed locked onto Shen Dihu, chasing him all the way. The thunder dragon's speed was obviously faster than Shen Dihu's. After a few breaths, Shen Dihu had been caught up by the thunder dragon.

"Buzz ~"

Shen Dihu had no choice but to quickly condense a huge earth-yellow light shield.

The light shield was like the rings of a tree, circle upon circle, and a thick, solid aura emanated from it, making it feel exceptionally defensive.

"Boom!"

The thunder dragon struck the earth-yellow light shield, which lit up with a ten-thousand-foot yellow light, but only withstood it for a single breath before shattering.

"Boom!"

A huge firework bloomed in the air, and the dazzling light could be seen even from Wangyue City, hundreds of miles away.

The space at the center of the explosion trembled violently, and terrifying shockwaves swept out. The surrounding rainwater was evaporated into mist, rolling away, obscuring the sky and sun.

Shen Dihu was blown away hundreds of feet, his gorgeous robes torn to shreds, his temples disheveled, looking extremely disheveled.

"Little bastard, I will tear you to pieces!"

Shen Dihu roared in fury, his murderous aura rolling out, lowering the temperature in the vicinity by several degrees.

The Roaring Thunder Dragon hadn't caused him too much damage. The light shield he condensed had blocked most of the attack's power, but as a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator, he had been made to look so disheveled?

Most importantly…

Many warships were flying over from afar, and they had all seen his disheveled side.

"Shoo!"

The wings on his back flickered, and his figure cut through the sky, quickly arriving above Jiang Han.

The yellow light in his hand condensed, and a palm print even larger than before was formed, ready to strike down.

"Dihu!"

A cold shout rang out from the north, Shen Longxiang's voice.

Shen Dihu calmed down, and the condensed large palm print disappeared. However, he grabbed Jiang Han from the air with a single hand.

"Bang!"

With a flash of his figure, he punched out, and Jiang Han's body flew out like a broken sack.

All the ribs in Jiang Han's chest were broken, and his internal organs were severely injured. While in the air, blood sprayed from his mouth without restraint.

"Hehe!"

A gentle and pleasant voice sounded: "Dwarf Tiger, you got injured by a child and became angry out of shame? Are the people of your Shen family all trash? Living like dogs at such an old age."
