Damn mortal scumbag!
"Zhu Zhenguo" was extremely displeased with Wu Han's "stubbornness"!
Daring to be defiant even when facing death, then go die!
"Zhu Zhenguo" propelled his True Essence, formed hand seals, and an incredibly sinister aura emanated from him, carrying a soul-hooking and spirit-capturing momentum.
Wu Han's face turned even paler. He felt his soul trembling incessantly, as if it were about to fly out of his body.
He could only pray in his heart.
"Protectors, Protectors, Protectors..."
"Zhu Zhenguo" sneered, flipped his hand seal, and struck out fiercely.
Wu Han's soul vibrated violently, on the verge of flying out of his body.
At this critical moment, a bizarre, sinister, and eerie laughter echoed from the unseen.
"Hehehehe..."
"Hehehehe..."
"Hahahaha..."
These sinister laughter carried a soul-stirring power, sending chills down to one's core!
Evil!
Ancient!
Utterly ferocious!
...
This feeling was akin to the source of the river of time, the deepest part of the primordial chaos at the dawn of creation, the very first, most ancient, and most ferocious "evil"!
Ultimate "evil"!
"Lord of All Evils"!
"Zhu Zhenguo's" mind trembled. He could no longer maintain his "Soul-Hooking Seal" and with a crisp "bang," it shattered.
Wu Han's "soul-hooking crisis" was instantly resolved.
"Zhu Zhenguo's" expression turned incredibly grim.
He was a powerful "Nascent Soul cultivator" and could see seventy-two demonic specters.
These figures, appearing and disappearing, were semi-transparent, encircling Wu Han.
"Who are you people?"
"Zhu Zhenguo" questioned.
"Are you demonic cultivators? Why are you protecting this mortal? Do you intend to possess him?"
"Heretical demonic cultivators," besides not doing good deeds, did all sorts of other bad things!
Therefore, "Zhu Zhenguo" did not believe these "demonic specters" would be so kind as to step in and save Wu Han out of righteousness.
The only reason they did this must be because they coveted Wu Han's "body."
They intended to "possess" Wu Han.
However...
"Zhu Zhenguo" looked around, and no matter how he looked, Wu Han seemed like a very ordinary mortal, lacking even "spiritual roots."
Why would these "heretical demonic cultivators" want to "possess" such a mortal without "cultivation aptitude"?
A leading "demonic specter" cackled.
"Little brat, we wouldn't possess Han Bao. Han Bao is our most beloved believer!"
Han Bao?
What is that?
Little baby Wu Han, shortened to "Han Bao"!
"Zhu Zhenguo" felt a chill.
Beside him, "Mo Dahong" could no longer restrain himself. He stepped forward, his eyes sharp, glaring threateningly at the seventy-two "demonic specters."
"You demonic cultivators need to get your facts straight. Standing before you is a fourth-rank Celestial Master from the Imperial Observatory of the Great Xin Dynasty, an existence you absolutely cannot afford to offend!"
The "Great Xin Dynasty" was incredibly powerful.
Especially after the "Sacred Land Assembly incident," the "Imperial Observatory" had gained prominence and began its massive intrusion into the "cultivation world."
Not only "righteous sects" but even "demonic sects" could not escape the clutches of the "Great Xin Dynasty."
In a short period, countless "demonic sects" were either annihilated or absorbed by the "Great Xin Dynasty."
"Mo Dahong" mistook the seventy-two "demonic specters" for ordinary "heretical demonic cultivators" and attempted to suppress them forcefully with the name of the "Imperial Observatory."
"Hahahaha..."
The "demonic specters" roared with laughter.
They acted as if they had heard the most absurd and comical joke.
"Holy shit, you old geezer, you've got some guts to threaten us Chaotic True Demons!"
"It's been so long, no one has threatened us Chaotic True Demons except for Dad!"
"The Great Xin Dynasty, the Imperial Observatory, and all that, truly brave! Heh, congratulations, you've successfully caught our attention!"
...
The "demonic specters" were arrogant and overbearing.
Their auras grew increasingly ferocious, the "ultimate malevolence" from the primordial chaos almost solidifying and sweeping across everything!
This aura was too strong, too terrifying. "Zhu Zhenguo" and the others felt like pathetic small boats in a raging storm, on the verge of being swallowed at any moment.
"Zhu Zhenguo" and the others even felt the urge to turn and flee.
Run, run, run!
Let's escape quickly!
These seventy-two "demonic specters" were too powerful; staying here meant mortal danger!
A voice screamed madly in the minds of "Zhu Zhenguo" and the "Four Great Demon Generals."
However, in the end, "Zhu Zhenguo" and the others managed to suppress the urge to flee.
They couldn't afford to lose face!
They, a group of "Nascent Soul experts" leading tens of thousands of "Dao Soldiers," with strength comparable to two "Soul Splitting Ancestors," were actually scared away by a mere mortal?
Alright, technically, they were scared away by the seventy-two "demonic specters" surrounding the mortal.
But others wouldn't know that. If word got out, it would be that four "Imperial Observatory Celestial Masters" were scared away by a mere mortal.
Too embarrassing!
Not only would they lose face, but they would also disgrace the entire "Imperial Observatory"!
Such a thing was absolutely unacceptable!
"Mo Dahong" gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
He transmitted his voice to "Zhu Zhenguo."
"General, I see that although these seventy-two demonic specters possess powerful auras, they are ethereal and illusory, lacking strong primordial energy to support them... They are likely bluffing. Allow me to test their strength!"
It had to be said, "Mo Dahong" was an old hand.
Experienced and sharp-sighted.
He had nearly discerned the true nature of the seventy-two "demonic specters."
These seventy-two "demonic specters" were none other than projections of the "Seventy-two Chaotic True Demons."
As "Guardians of the Dehua Divine Sect," upon receiving the plea for help from their most beloved "Han Bao," they had projected themselves without a second thought.
Although they had arrived, the "Seventy-two Chaotic True Demons" were in a rather awkward predicament.
The "projections" transmitted through the power of the "Dehua Divine Sect" did not possess much strength, capable only of employing some simple "illusions" and "illusionary formations."
It was no problem dealing with ordinary people and "low-level cultivators."
After all, the "Chaotic True Demons" were innately gifted, excelling at exploiting the darkest aspects of the human heart.
However, to use simple "illusions" and "illusionary formations" against "Nascent Soul cultivators," and not just any "Nascent Soul cultivators," but "Nascent Soul cultivators" whose strength was comparable to "Soul Splitting Ancestors."
Heh, I'm sorry, it's impossible, truly impossible!
Therefore, from the very beginning, the "Seventy-two Chaotic True Demons" had no intention of truly fighting. They wanted to emulate "Dad's" peak "show-off skills" and scare away "Zhu Zhenguo" and the others with their powerful "Chaotic True Demon aura."
Unfortunately, the "Seventy-two Chaotic True Demons'" skills were not yet refined. "Zhu Zhenguo" and the others were not scared away; instead, "Mo Dahong" saw through their ruse...
