Ch 337: Meeting The Prince Of Bei Qi
The sky was tinged with the color of blood, and the air was filled with a smell of blood.
A phoenix-like bird, several zhang in size, let out a cry, its fierce demonic aura blotting out the sun and sky. Suddenly, its eyes turned and locked onto a figure on the ground.
A hint of mockery appeared in its eyes. The next moment, it was already in the low sky, two white lines appearing in the air as it swooped towards the person’s neck.
The figure, who should have become prey, simply placed a hand on the Cold Sparrow at their waist.
Boom!
The sound of sword hums resounded through Heaven and Earth. A huge wound appeared between the phoenix-like bird’s chest and abdomen. The bird’s enormous body crashed to the ground, the wound piercing all the way through its wings.
Light blue frost appeared on the wound, causing it to only be able to moan continuously.
A line of sword light flew out, and the phoenix-like bird’s enormous head fell. Blood flowed down its neck, pooling into a small stream on the ground.
“This Third Level is really big. I haven’t encountered anyone for two days.”
The vastness and emptiness of the Third Level caused Li Hanzhou to become somewhat lost.
And as he went deeper, more and more Profound Connection Realm demon beasts appeared, and it seemed that their territories had been divided among these beasts.
If one accidentally stepped into a demon beast’s territory, they would be hunted down. Encountering those who live in groups is even more troublesome.
One that left a deep impression on Li Hanzhou was a Pangolin Demon Beast. He merely passed through its territory, and hundreds of them emerged.
And the Pangolin Demon Beast’s scales were very strong. They could actually withstand one of his swords.
“Where exactly has the King of Northern Qi hidden himself?”
“Could it be that he’s not on the Third Level, but on the Fourth Level?”
Li Hanzhou thought, he himself didn’t mind. Whether it was the Fourth Level or the Fifth Level, for him it was simply a matter of taking a few more steps. But it was different for others.
Xiao Wenxin barely made it to the Third Level, let alone others. Even if they had bodyguards, if they encountered a Demon Venerable, they could easily be wiped out.
“This King of Northern Qi is really desperate. He really isn’t worried that his sons will die in this Extreme Domain. After all, one Xiao Wenxin has already died.”
Roar!
After walking for half a day, he suddenly heard a demon beast roar.
He saw a Giant Bear with wings on its sides, wielding its huge bear paw and smashing it down heavily in front of it.
The ground shattered under the terrifying force, countless pieces of rock flew up, leaving a large meteorite crater on the ground.
Demon Venerable?
Li Hanzhou frowned. He had encountered another Demon Venerable on the Third Level? This was truly rare. Feeling the tremors under his feet, he became even more puzzled.
For some reason, he felt fear from the demon beast.
He even wondered if he had seen wrong. How could this demon beast possibly have feelings of fear? A Demon Venerable should be an invincible existence on the Third Level, right?
But the situation before him was indeed so.
The demon beast before him did indeed feel fear.
The next moment, the Flying Bear seemed to be knocked down by something.
At this time, Li Hanzhou saw clearly that it was a person, a person who had used brute force to knock down a Flying Bear known for its strength.
It was a man with a sturdy build, his hair white but showing no signs of age. He was shirtless and fighting with the Flying Bear.
To be precise, it was a one-sided massacre. The Flying Bear was covered in blood under his fists and couldn’t stand up. He didn’t even use a weapon, because Li Hanzhou saw that he clearly had a sword on his back.
The man was not a demon, yet he acted with an even more arrogant demeanor than a demon.
The Flying Bear howled, begging the figure to spare it. But the figure decisively stepped down, causing even the ground beneath to tremble twice.
The wind blew, and the figure looked up at Li Hanzhou, his eyes filled with intense surprise.
At this time, Li Hanzhou finally matched the figure with the one in his memory, and he finally found him.
“Xiao Han greets Father King.”
This person was none other than the King of Northern Qi, Xiao Tiansheng. Xiao Tiansheng picked up his tattered armor, suppressed his aura, and walked step by step to Li Hanzhou, examining him carefully.
“Little Seven?”
Even though Xiao Han was the King of Northern Qi’s son, Xiao Tiansheng had rarely interacted with Xiao Han and had no time to pay attention to his son’s growth, because he had long heard that his son was a good-for-nothing.
For him, the greatest mercy he could bestow upon such a useless son was to allow him to not starve to death.
Unexpectedly, the first person he met here was his good-for-nothing son, Xiao Han?
Xiao Tiansheng patted Li Hanzhou’s shoulder, squeezing it hard, and forced a smile onto his face.
“I thought my eldest son would be the first to arrive, but I never expected it to be you.”
“Just good luck.”
Li Hanzhou said casually.
At the same time, he was also observing Xiao Tiansheng. Xiao Tiansheng was suppressing the Flying Bear with his own strength alone. His strength was probably close to the Esteemed Immortal Realm.
“Luck? I don’t think that’s your luck.”
Xiao Tiansheng turned his head, but didn’t see any guards, feeling a slight surprise.
“Where are your guards?”
“I didn’t bring any guards.”
Li Hanzhou spoke the truth. There was no use making excuses at this time.
No guards?
Now Xiao Tiansheng was surprised. He had thought that Xiao Han had come here because he was accompanied by extremely strong guards. Hearing his words, Xiao Tiansheng couldn’t believe it.
Just Seventh Rank Realm?
He could actually get here?
“Not bad.” For a moment, Xiao Tiansheng didn’t know what to say, so he could only praise him.
“By the way, I haven’t wished Father King a happy birthday yet.”
Li Hanzhou unfastened his long sword from his waist and presented it to Xiao Tiansheng with both hands.
“This is a congratulatory gift I specially brought for Father King.”
The sword body was a deep blue, the hilt was a lifelike blue sparrow, emitting a gemstone-like luster. Holding the sword in both hands was like holding a piece of ten-thousand-year-old glacial ice.
The eighth-ranked Divine Weapon on the Divine Weapon Ranking, the Cold Sparrow Sword.
“Cold Sparrow!”
Xiao Tiansheng was shocked. This was even more shocking than the fact that Li Hanzhou had come here alone, because he had also gone to Famous Sword Villa to request the Cold Sparrow Sword, but had failed.
The shock on his brow was hard to conceal, but soon it was replaced by joy.
“He’s really my son! He can even get the eighth ranked Divine Sword for me. Good, good!”
He patted Li Hanzhou on the shoulder while speaking boisterously.
Li Hanzhou’s arrival alone had already surprised him. After seeing this sword, he liked Li Hanzhou even more, and even felt that those who said Xiao Han was a good-for-nothing were spreading rumors.
A famous sword has a spirit; how could an ordinary person take it away?
If Li Hanzhou hadn’t been strong, those slaps would have probably dislocated his shoulder.
“I was just lucky to get this sword,” Li Hanzhou said humbly.
Xiao Tiansheng nodded slightly, liking the person before him even more. He was neither arrogant nor boastful, nor did he take credit. Why hadn’t he discovered that his son was so outstanding before?
He looked at Li Hanzhou and slowly spoke.
“Do you know why I’m meeting you here?”
Li Hanzhou was startled, then shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
