Chapter 2253: Chapter 2253
Su Yang's face turned cold. This Bing Han not only kills indiscriminately, but also absorbs the life force of these people, transforming it into the power of ice and snow, which is no less than when the Asura King crazily devoured mortals.
If this continues, everyone within a thousand-mile radius will likely be frozen to death!
"Kill!" Su Yang shouted angrily, raising the Xuanyuan Sword and suddenly charging at Bing Han.
"Foolishness!" Bing Han sneered, casually waving a hand, and a dragon made of ice instantly appeared, roaring as it charged toward Su Yang.
Su Yang slashed fiercely with his sword; the ice dragon was only cut slightly, but it did not stop and quickly rushed to Su Yang's front. Its massive claws extended directly to snatch Su Yang, roaring as it flew skyward, gripping Su Yang with its five claws, trying to tear him apart.
Su Yang endured the severe pain, forcefully circulating the Power of Saint, concentrating all his strength into the Xuanyuan Sword, and fiercely slashed at the ice dragon's claw.
One of the ice dragon's claws was directly shattered, but the dragon did not halt at all, as it was the manifestation of power and had no life. It continued to grasp Su Yang, madly trying to tear him apart.
Su Yang struggled with all his might, and after a long time, finally broke free from the grip of the ice dragon's claws. But just then, another ice dragon quickly formed and pounced towards Su Yang once more.
Bing Han stood in the air, coldly watching everything unfold. Yan Zhi stood with arms crossed, as if watching a show.
"Seems like I don't even need to make a move!" Yan Zhi chuckled.
"To deal with him, I don't even need a Divine Artifact!" Bing Han said arrogantly. "He's only borrowing the Power of Saint from Human Emperor Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan is dead, and every time the Power of Saint is consumed, it decreases without any way to regenerate. He has already slain two Saints in succession, and after a great battle with that monkey, how much Power of Saint could he have left? Right now, he doesn't even count as a spent force, more like a lingering remnant. Dealing with him is not difficult at all, no need to worry!"
"Though that may be true, that kid managed to use the remnants of Xuanyuan's Power of Saint to kill two Saints—it's no small feat!" Yan Zhi looked towards the stone coffin of the Asura Clan and said softly, "This time, the Asura Realm will likely fall faster than the Human World!"
"Those useless ones who only know slaughter, they have made so many enemies among the Nine Realms, this outcome was long overdue." Bing Han said coldly, "The Asura King thought that with Tu Yuan advancing to the Saint Realm, they could stand on equal footing with the Feather Realm, Demon Realm, and Ghost Realm. In recent years, they have been extremely domineering. Hmph, now both their Saints are gone, what awaits the Asura Clan, I wonder?"
Yan Zhi sighed, although Bing Han spoke of the Asura Clan, in fact, the situation in the Land of Red Flame and the Land of Extreme Cold was not much better.
The two realms are the weakest among the Nine Realms aside from the Human World. If not for their constant alliance, their situation might not be any better than the Human World, and they might have long perished.
This time, the two had no intention of coming to the Human World. Because both of them possessed Divine Artifacts, and they were well aware of their status within the Nine Realms, acquiring such artifacts was not feasible for them. So, they simply observed the battle without any intention of seizing the artifacts.
The reason they came to the Human World was entirely due to the instigation of the Heavenly Realm Saint behind the scenes.
The Heavenly Realm Saint is very aware that they are the strongest among the Nine Realms, with the most Saints. Hence, they are targeted by everyone in the Nine Realms. At least in this matter, the Demon Realm, Ghost Realm, Feather Realm, and previously the Asura Realm, all stood in opposition to the Heavenly Realm.
Their intentions were simple: no matter whose hands the artifact ends up in, it absolutely must not fall into the hands of the Heavenly Realm. Otherwise, the further increase in Heavenly Realm's strength would make it difficult for the other Seven Realms to contend against them.
In this matter, the Buddha Domain takes a neutral stance. The Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame initially intended to remain neutral too.
However, after the two Saints of the Asura Clan died, the Heavenly Realm Saint suddenly approached Yan Zhi with a proposal.
The proposal was that if Yan Zhi acted to seize the artifact, the Heavenly Realm would support the Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame from behind. Ultimately, the Heavenly Realm would offer another artifact in exchange for this one, and also be an eternal ally to the Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame.
Simply put, the Heavenly Realm dared not directly seize the artifact, because doing so would inevitably attract attacks from the Ghost Realm, Feather Realm, and Demon Realm. So they opted for second-best by reaching out to the Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame to act on their behalf.
The Ghost Realm, Feather Realm, and Demon Realm were only targeting the Heavenly Realm and were less vigilant against the Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame. Plus, with the support of the Heavenly Realm, the combined forces of the Land of Extreme Cold and the Land of Red Flame were evenly matched against the Ghost Realm, Demon Realm, and Feather Realm!
After discussing it, Yan Zhi and Bing Han felt that cooperating with the Heavenly Realm was the best choice. Firstly, they would acquire a Divine Artifact, and secondly, gain a powerful ally, which would strengthen their position significantly. So, they changed their original plan and headed to the Human World immediately after Qi Tian left.
In fact, both were well aware of the Heavenly Realm's intentions. What the Heavenly Realm was doing didn't give them much advantage. After all, although the Heavenly Realm could acquire this Divine Artifact, they also had to provide a significant artifact in exchange.
The Heavenly Realm's motivation was actually to limit the power of the Three Realms. Even though they wouldn't gain much directly, they absolutely couldn't allow the Three Realms to gain this artifact. Otherwise, it would significantly enhance the strength of the Three Realms, which would be detrimental to the Heavenly Realm.
Having understood this thoroughly, they acted without any concerns. No matter what, the Heavenly Realm would surely back them up!
In the air, Su Yang found himself with no escape as the ice dragon pursued him relentlessly. His Power of Saint was nearly depleted; one-on-one, he was no match for Bing Han, let alone with Yan Zhi watching with a predatory gaze.
After evading for a while, Su Yang suddenly descended from the sky, landing in the mountain.
Bing Han and Yan Zhi were momentarily stunned, unsure of what Su Yang intended.
As they were baffled, Su Yang emerged from the mountain with someone by his side. This person exuded a powerful aura, causing Bing Han and Yan Zhi's eyes to brighten.
"A Divine Artifact!" Bing Han shouted. "He's trying to escape with the artifact, stop him!"
Yan Zhi was even faster, immediately soaring to the sky to block Su Yang's path.
