Chapter 453 I Can't Hear You

"But does Elder Lu think that I will let you live until then?"

The corners of Xu Han's mouth curled into a ghost-like smile as he finished speaking.

Lu Houde 's pupils suddenly dilated at that time. This was an extremely simple principle.

Xu Han wanted to kill him, but before killing him, he had to use all means to torture him. But at the same time, Xu Han also understood that once his right arm lost this divine ability, he would definitely not be Lu Houde 's opponent. Then, he would naturally end Lu Houde 's life before all of this was over.

However, because of the temptation of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda and the raging anger in his heart, Lu Houde unconsciously ignored such a simple question.

His face instantly turned purple and blue. He opened his mouth, his upper and lower lips trembling, and said in a hoarse voice, "I…"

At this point, the expressions of the swordsmen who had been watching the battle from the side changed. The true essence around them washed away, and a violent aura surged out from their bodies. As long as Lu Houde admitted defeat, they would not hesitate to take action and not give Xu Han a chance to save Lu Houde. This had nothing to do with personal grievances. It was only about the face of the Sword Handling Pavilion.

Previously, Xu Han had taken these influential figures in the Jianghu of Great Xia seriously and said that he wanted to kill Lu Houde in the swordsman competition.

If Lu Houde was determined to fight to the death with Xu Han, they would naturally not care about it. However, if Lu Houde admitted defeat, admitted defeat, and Xu Han killed the other party, then this would be a slap on the face of their swordsman.

"Recognize …"

The second word came out of Lu Houde 's mouth at that time.

The swordsmen bowed their bodies and were ready to fire like arrows filled with strings.

At this moment, Chu Chouli and the others finally regained their senses from Xu Han's sudden explosion of terrifying combat strength. They all frowned, their eyes filled with worry. They knew too well why Xu Han wanted to kill Lu Houde. If Lu Houde really admitted defeat, would Xu Han let him go just like that?

The answer was not optimistic in their hearts, and once Xu Han's killing intent was decided, it would inevitably clash with the Sword Handling Pavilion, which was not a good thing for Xu Han.

Thinking of this, everyone nervously looked at Xu Han, and their True Essence was also activated by them at that time, in case anything unexpected happened.

However, no matter how well prepared they were or how powerful their killing moves were, they were useless to Xu Han.

Because Lu Houde didn't have the chance to spit out the last word that came to his mouth.

Xu Han grabbed Lu Houde's neck with his right hand, and then he raised the Great Evolution Realm elder like a chick. Lu Houde 's face turned purple. He grabbed Xu Han's right hand with both of his hands, wanting to break free from the restraints of the youth and say the last word that could save his life. However, at this moment, Xu Han's hands firmly pressed down on his throat. Other than being able to breathe in a strand of air to hang onto his life, he could do nothing else.

He stared at Xu Han and the youth's cold eyes. A pleading expression appeared in his eyes. He didn't want to die…

However, as the strength of Xu Han's grip on his neck gradually increased, he inevitably smelled death at that time.

…

"Lord Nangong! This Xu Han clearly wants to murder Elder Lu. Please, Lord Nangong!" At this moment, Hu Man'er, who was below the stage, was immediately shocked when she saw this scene. She hurriedly walked to Nangong Jing's side and cupped her hands towards her. It seemed that only Nangong Jing could save Lu Houde now.

At that time, Nangong Jing frowned. Of course, she was dissatisfied with Xu Han's actions. However, the rules of the Sword Handling Pavilion were laid out there. Lu Houde did not admit defeat. If they made a move, it would be inevitable for them to spread the news in the future.

"Lord Nangong, our Elder Lu clearly has no more fighting power. If we have to wait for him to admit defeat, wouldn't it be hard for us to force others to do so? It's really pedantic to stick to the rules. Lord Nangong, please be righteous first!" Xing Zhen, who was standing at the side, also spoke at that time. He had to say that compared to Hu Man'er, his words were more reasonable and well-founded, hitting the nail on the head.

"Looks like the Sword Handling Pavilion is going to break the rules." Yan Zhan glanced at Hu Man'er and Nangong Jing who were begging for mercy not far away and said in a deep voice.

Amongst Fang Ziyu and the others, only he, a Great Evolution Realm expert, had the ability to hear the words of the others clearly.

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu and the others' expressions changed.

"Kill him! What is Xiao Han doing in the ink?" Chu Chouli shouted loudly. He didn't care about the strange gazes from the people around him at all. It had to be said that Xu Han's group was extraordinarily different. To be able to clamor to kill an elder of the Crimson Firmament Sect in front of such a crowd was something that no one had ever heard of before.

They could not help but have the illusion that the Crimson Firmament Sect, which had dominated the Jianghu of the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years, was being bullied like a small sect in the countryside.

However, regardless of whether it was the illusions in everyone's hearts, Nangong Jing's hesitation, or even Chu Chouli's urging, it was not worth paying attention to for Xu Han at this moment.

He looked at Lu Houde, whose aura was getting weaker and weaker. At this moment, this domineering Scarlet Firmament Sect Elder's life was hanging on the line, so much so that his previous intense struggle had gradually become powerless. However, he was still alive, and he still had some persistent thoughts.

Xu Han glanced at the anxious Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen not far away. The corner of the youth's mouth curled into a smile.

He raised his head to look at the sky. After a night of fighting, the sky gradually turned white. The stars in the sky seemed to be faintly visible, like a candle flickering in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.

The youth suddenly became interested.

He opened his mouth and whispered, "Elder Lu, do you know why you died?"

Lu Houde, who couldn't even spit out the word "lose", naturally couldn't answer Xu Han's words, but Xu Han didn't care about it.

He continued to say to himself, "Because of the stars."

"Because Xingxing looks at me, she wants me to be the best Xu Han…"

Xu Han seemed to have fallen into a strange state as he muttered to himself with an empty gaze.

Lu Houde did not understand Xu Han's words, but he knew that the footsteps of death were approaching him at every moment. He did not have much time left.

He naturally didn't have the mood to listen to Xu Han's confusion, but he didn't know how to escape from this predicament.

But just as he was feeling desperate, he caught a glimpse of two figures flying up behind him.

That was Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen!

They didn't know what kind of agreement they had reached with Nangong Jing, but they actually rushed onto the arena and charged towards Xu Han.

Lu Houde 's already deathly silent eyes lit up. He saw the hope of survival, and such hope was extremely precious to those who had already fallen into desperate straits.

"I don't know what is the best me, but I know that someone has to pay the price for her death."

However, Xu Han was still muttering to himself, as if he was unaware of the impending killing intent.

…

"Xiao Han!!!" At that time, Chu Chouli and the others saw Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen killing each other on the arena. Everyone cried out in alarm, but Xu Han still acted his own way.

"This Sword Handling Pavilion is too shameless!" Seeing that Xu Han didn't react, Fang Ziyu and Yan Zhan didn't care about anything else and were about to charge forward.

However, since they were both experts of the Great Evolution Realm, it would be difficult for Fang Ziyu and Fang Ziyu to catch up to them.

"Of course you are the culprit, so you have to die."

Xu Han continued, his tone extremely calm, but his expression was as cold as snow.

The light in Lu Houde's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen had already arrived in front of Xu Han. He knew that in just one or two breaths of time, the defenseless Xu Han would die at the hands of these two people, and he could also be rescued.

"But …" But at that time, Xu Ha's tone suddenly changed and became gloomy.

"You have to die, but this price is far from enough. Therefore, I feel that the Crimson Firmament Sect … must die!"

After Xu Han finished speaking, he suddenly loosened his grip on Lu Houde 's right arm. At that moment, he turned around and was about to go behind him.

At that time, Lu Houde finally regained his senses. He didn't even have time to breathe the long-lost air. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly at Hu Man'er and the other two, "Be careful!!"

However, at the end of the exclamation, the tone suddenly changed. It was no longer urgent and worried, but terrified, so dense that it almost drowned him.

He saw a scene that he was destined to never forget.

The white cloth on Xu Han's right arm suddenly shattered inch by inch. His scarlet-red arm suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. That arm was covered in terrifying barbs, ferocious like an evil beast from the primordial wilderness.

As Xu Han turned around, it grew larger and larger. In the blink of an eye, it was already as tall as a person exclaiming in shock. The power wrapped around its arm greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. It was just a simple wave of its arm. At that moment, the two Great Evolution Realm experts that had arrived in front of it were pushed back.

Not to mention Hu Man'er and the others, even Fang Zi Yu and the others, who were familiar with Xu Han, had expressions of shock on their faces.

In the next moment, Xu Han's eyes glowed with purple light. His strange right arm wriggled uneasily like a ghost that had been imprisoned for a thousand years, wanting to break free from the cage. However, Xu Han quickly suppressed the riot. His right hand suddenly opened, and a boundless suction force surged. At that moment, the flying Hu Man'er was pulled back by the suction force.

Her soul-stirring head was held in her hand by a gigantic hand. She looked at Xu Han in horror and was about to say something, but before she could say anything, Xu Han forcefully gripped his right hand. At that moment, a stream of blood exploded out from that head and he died on the spot!

"Man'er!" Seeing this scene, Xing Zhen's liver and gallbladder split apart. He let out a loud shout and was about to attack with his sword. Xu Han casually waved his right arm. At that time, his palm, which had not even spoken a word, was inserted into Xing Zhen's chest with extreme precision. The light in the man's eyes dimmed. In the next moment, a beating heart was pulled out of Xu Han's body.

…

All of this happened too strangely and quickly.

Whether it was Xu Han's strange right arm or the two Great Evolution Realm experts' rapid death, it was something that no one had expected.

This was the same for Nangong Jing.

She had purposely let Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen charge towards the arena. As long as she could save Lu Houde from Xu Han and make him admit defeat personally, then the swordsman would be able to take action. This matter could also be reduced to a small matter.

This was originally an extremely simple and effective plan. With her vision, she could naturally see that Xu Han was at the end of his rope. His divine ability, which was so strange that it could suppress a Great Evolution Realm expert, was about to disappear. Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen's attacks should be safe and sound. Although it was a little biased, it was still better than dying an elder of the Crimson Firmament Sect.

However, she never imagined that Xu Han's castle would be so deep. Even at this moment, there was already a hidden killing move. He had actually killed two experts of the Great Evolution Realm in front of the swordsmen.

At this moment, Xu Han clearly did not intend to stop. He crushed Xing Zhen's heart and then turned towards Lu Houde, who was sitting on the ground.

His footsteps were slow and heavy, but the sound of his silent footsteps struck the hearts of the crowd like a heavy hammer.

His enormous right arm gradually regained its normal size as he walked. However, the blood still dripped down his fingers uncontrollably.

'"What are you going to do" Lu Houde was still seriously injured, and he couldn't resist at all. He cried out in horror, "What are you going to do … what are you going to do …" He just wanted to live, even if he was laughed at by the world and expelled by the sect, he didn't care, he just wanted to live.

Thus, he begged, "Let me go! It was Xie Min Yu who ordered me to let me go. He wanted to seize the Golden Crow True Fire, but he was also the one who killed Zhen Yue and the others."

However, his pleading did not change his situation in the slightest. At that time, Xu Han stretched out his foot and stepped on Lu Houde's head.

Lu Houde knew that in the next moment, his head would be torn apart like Hu Man'er.

He was so scared that his body began to tremble. But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something. He shouted, "I admit defeat! I admit defeat! I lost, you win, let me go."

Hearing this, Nangong Jing finally regained her senses. She hurriedly looked at Xu Hanyan and said, "Xu Han has already admitted defeat. You won this duel!" At that moment, the swordsman beside him also came to his senses and flew straight towards Xu Han, wanting to stop this youth.

At that time, Xu Han slowly turned his head around. It was as if he was really prepared to compromise, staring at Nangong Jing, who had an anxious expression on his face.

Then, a brilliant smile suddenly appeared on the youth's face. He stretched out his hand and shook the bell on his wrist.

"Really? Why didn't I hear it?"

He said this, then stepped on Lu Houde 's foot and forcefully exerted himself.

Pu!

A crisp explosion erupted, and fresh blood spilled out from all directions.

At that moment, Lu Houde 's head was torn apart…
