Qin Han Chu's actions placed this Xuan Sheng in a dilemma.
Pursue or retreat?
After a brief moment of thought, he actually turned and left.
He knew very well that he couldn't defeat Qin Han Chu in a short time.
Even if he could take down Qin Han Chu, his strength wouldn't last long enough to escape back.
It was at this moment that the sound of the Long Qi Empire's withdrawal horn echoed from afar.
Seeing the opponent about to flee, Qin Han Chu once again unleashed his Hun Yuan Fa Shen.
A massive palm reached out directly towards the Xuan Sheng expert.
"How could you..."
The martial artists who could cultivate to Xuan Sheng were naturally seasoned old foxes with deep reserves. He immediately realized he had been tricked.
Facing Qin Han Chu's attack, he hurriedly responded.
If his strength were at its peak, he would certainly have been able to crush Qin Han Chu's Hun Yuan Fa Shen.
But now, he had lost eighty percent of his Hun Yuan power.
In comparison, Qin Han Chu still possessed fifty percent of his strength.
Qin Han Chu's palm directly shattered his attack and then grasped him firmly.
"Damn it! Save me quickly!"
This Xuan Sheng, channeling his remaining strength to resist Qin Han Chu's attack, roared for help from his companions.
However, his companions had already begun to retreat towards the Long Qi Empire.
The only ones who could save him now were the old monsters of the Xuan Shen realm.
"Go save him!"
Xuan Sheng with Hun Yuan power were peak combat forces. Losing even one was a tremendous loss.
To rescue this Xuan Sheng, the Long Qi Emperor even dispatched a Xuan Shen realm expert for rescue.
However, Qin Han Chu, still holding the Xuan Sheng, rapidly retreated into the distance.
"Bastard! Despicable!"
This Xuan Sheng had already realized Qin Han Chu's scheme.
Qin Han Chu intended to wait until he exhausted all his Hun Yuan power before easily killing him!
The Xuan Sheng exerted his full strength, attempting to break free from the restraint of the Hun Yuan Fa Shen.
But his strength was already inferior to Qin Han Chu's, and he couldn't break through the fist of the Hun Yuan Fa Shen.
From afar, a colossal giant, ten thousand zhang tall, crossed a hundred li in a single step.
Although the Xuan Shen realm expert was fast, he couldn't catch up to Qin Han Chu.
After all, there was already a considerable distance between them.
Sensing Qin Han Chu's continuous departure, the Xuan Shen realm expert dared not pursue further.
If his Hun Yuan power were to be depleted, he might be counter-killed.
Helplessly, he had to abandon the Xuan Sheng.
"No..."
This Xuan Sheng felt the departure of the Xuan Shen realm expert and knew he had been abandoned!
Originally, his Hun Yuan power would have been enough to support him in escaping back to the Long Qi Empire, but due to confronting Qin Han Chu, his Hun Yuan power was rapidly depleted.
At this moment, his Hun Yuan power was completely exhausted.
Boom!
Qin Han Chu's fist tightened fiercely. The terrifying force directly crushed the Xuan Sheng, and even his Xuan Ying was shattered.
With the death of this Xuan Sheng, a surge of mysterious and profound power entered Qin Han Chu's body.
Under this power, Qin Han Chu's Xuan Ying grew rapidly.
It felt as though he had devoured the opponent's Xuan Ying, absorbing its power as his own.
At this moment, Qin Han Chu felt on the verge of a breakthrough.
Qin Han Chu quickly descended into the deep sea and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.
Under the profound power, Qin Han Chu's Xuan Ying became rapidly stronger.
One Xuan Sheng, two Xuan Zun, and over a dozen Xuan Wang.
These accumulated "rewards" directly propelled Qin Han Chu from Xuan Zun to Xuan Sheng.
At this pace, if he just killed a few Xuan Sheng and one Xuan Shen, wouldn't he be able to reach the Xuan Shen realm directly?
Although this progress was rapid, Qin Han Chu felt it wasn't a good thing.
A ten-thousand-zhang tall building built on flat ground with a weak foundation would definitely be a hidden danger.
Qin Han Chu was like a seedling being forced to grow too quickly.
Or perhaps, this was the self-salvation of the Shen Zhou Great World!
It needed Qin Han Chu to become powerful to help it resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
While Qin Han Chu was in seclusion, the strong individuals from both sides had withdrawn their troops.
This battle resulted in countless casualties, and even hundreds of individuals with Hun Yuan power had perished.
The Nine Ancient Clans were eager to return to their secret realms to recuperate, leaving them no time to expel martial artists below the Xuan realm from the Long Qi Empire.
In the following period, the East and West existed in a state of stalemate.
Skirmishes between the Ling realm and martial artists of both sides frequently occurred.
A month had passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Han Chu had long since completed his breakthrough, but he had been consolidating his Yuan Ying, so he only emerged from the seabed now.
Qin Han Chu did not wish to participate in the battles of the Ling realm, so he transformed into his Fatty persona and returned to the villa in Modu.
During his absence, the villa's doors had been repaired.
Even the dust in the living room had been cleaned up.
Having not eaten for so long, Qin Han Chu drove his sports car towards the villa complex's main gate.
"Holy crap, when did Mr. Hong get back?" a security guard exclaimed, seeing Qin Han Chu's car.
"Mr. Hong is a terrifyingly powerful individual, he can even fly."
Although they knew Qin Han Chu could fly, these people were unaware of Qin Han Chu's true strength.
In any case, he was not someone they could afford to offend!
Seeing Qin Han Chu approaching, everyone stopped their discussions.
They knew very well that strong individuals had extremely acute hearing.
Gossiping about others behind their backs was not a glorious thing.
Watching Qin Han Chu's car drive away, the security captain sighed enviously, "So young and so powerful, it makes you want to die comparing yourself to others."
"Captain, you're already very capable."
"Capable of what? Have you forgotten when I was sent flying with a single slap?"
The battle last month had erupted in the deep sea, so people inland were unaware of what had truly transpired.
The Great Yan Nation had only announced that an exercise was being conducted in the maritime region, and did not publicize the matter of the invasion from the outside world.
At a restaurant, Qin Han Chu was devouring his meal.
Just then, a group of men walked in, laughing boisterously.
Their demeanor exuded a rough, thuggish air, making it clear they were not good people.
Qin Han Chu ignored them and continued to eat his meal.
Seeing this group, the restaurant owner's expression turned grim.
This was not the first time these people had come to dine and dash. Previously, he dared not speak out, despite his anger.
However, no establishment could withstand these people coming to eat for free every few days.
Gathering his courage, the owner plastered on a smile and said, "Gentlemen, we have some urgent matters at home and need to close early. Perhaps you could dine elsewhere?"
"What? You don't want to serve us? That guy over there is eating quite well! Why are you not serving us?"
Upon hearing the owner's words, one of the youths angrily retorted.
The owner quickly replied, "He's our last customer. After he finishes, we'll be closing to attend to business."
"Stop with the nonsense and hurry up with the food."
"We'll be eating here today," another youth stated proudly.
The owner's face was filled with despair, "Gentlemen, we've run out of ingredients, we truly can't serve you."
"No ingredients? I'll go check the kitchen myself."
"If I find any ingredients, I'll cripple your limbs, you hear me!"
