Supreme Sword Sovereign

"Is it you?"

A few people instantly recognized Gu Han.

They were the other managers from the merchant association who had been guarding outside Doctor Xue's door that day.

"Young Master!"

Ah-Sha clutched at the corner of Gu Han's clothes.

"It's those bad guys!"

"Heh heh!"

The leader of the group let out a cold laugh.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Gu Han's face was expressionless.

The truth of the matter.

He had already guessed the gist of it.

It was nothing more than jealousy over Chen Ping receiving a pill from Doctor Xue that day, leading these people to harbor evil thoughts and thus ambush him on the road.

"Let's go."

On the other side.

Someone urged, "Finding Chen Ping is what matters, forget about him!"

"Forget about him?"

The leader shook his head.

"Don't forget, he knows Doctor Xue and must have a lot of pills given by Doctor Xue on him! Besides, he witnessed what we did, we can't let him go to avoid leaking information!"

"But... he also knows Manager Li..."

"Hmph, the Barbaric Wilderness Forest is so vast, who knows how many people die there every year. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how would Manager Li possibly know?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

The person beside him suddenly realized.

"That's the logic!"

"Kid, since we've run into you, it's just your bad luck!"

Bang!

Just then!

A figure suddenly flew out from the dense forest, landing on the ground and coughing up blood non-stop.

It was Chen Ping!

Immediately after.

Three more figures walked out of the forest at a leisurely pace, joining the five people at one spot.

"We've captured him as agreed, remember your promise!"

"Don't worry!"

The leader smiled smugly, pointing at Gu Han.

"Don't rush, take down this kid too, and I'll add fifty percent to the price!"

These three.

Were the scattered cultivators they had hired.

"Song Chao!"

Chen Ping looked at the leader, full of grief and indignation.

"I never thought you guys would stoop so low! If Treasure Pavilion finds out about this, they will not let you off!"

"Heh heh."

Song Chao let out a cold laugh.

"Every year, the major merchant associations lose a few managers. Do you think, with your status, they would care about your life or death?"

"You!"

"The pills from Doctor Xue are good stuff, but definitely not something you're qualified to have!"

"..."

Chen Ping fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Han with an apologetic face.

"Young brother, I'm sorry! You helped me, and now I've dragged you into this..."

"Dragged into this?"

Gu Han nodded.

"You really did drag me into this."

"Remember."

He patted Ah-Sha's head, soothing her somewhat nervous emotions.

"You owe me a favor!"

"Heh heh."

Across from him, Song Chao wore a face full of mockery.

"What, you can't even save yourself and you still think about saving others? What a joke!"

With that.

He was about to signal everyone to attack!

"Wait!"

Suddenly.

Someone staring at Gu Han spoke with some uncertainty, "You... are you Gu Han?"

"Huh?"

Gu Han's brow furrowed slightly.

"You know me?"

"..."

The scattered cultivator didn't speak, but his back was already soaked with sweat.

Indeed!

It was him!

The killing god!

"I give up on this task!"

He was from near Sky Martial City, and he had just happened to catch a glimpse of Gu Han's massacre in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest that day.

"What did you say!"

Song Chao's face turned cold.

"If you leave, then the things..."

"I don't want them anymore!"

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, the scattered cultivator turned and left without any hesitation.

That day.

He had single-handedly killed six at the Meridian Unblocking Realm.

Now.

He could naturally kill eight as well!

"Stop!"

Unexpectedly.

Gu Han suddenly called out to him.

"What... what is it?"

The scattered cultivator's figure halted.

"You've hurt someone."

Gu Han pointed at Chen Ping.

"Just walking away so boldly, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

What?

Everyone was stunned.

What does this mean?

Do you actually want him to compensate, what a huge joke!

However.

What shocked them happened.

"In here..."

The scattered cultivator didn't hesitate at all, instantly took out a Storage Bag, and threw it to Gu Han.

"There are a thousand Yuan Crystals and a few bottles of healing pills inside, is that enough to compensate him?"

"Not bad."

Gu Han nodded, looking at Chen Ping.

"I'll keep it for you for now, you don't mind, right?"

Saying so.

He didn't wait for a reply.

He just stuffed the Storage Bag into his own chest.

"..."

Chen Ping's mind was already too overwhelmed to turn.

I'm about to die, what use are these worldly possessions?

Seeing the scattered cultivator leave.

Gu Han slowly raised his sword and walked towards the other side.

"Can you still move?"

"I can!"

Chen Ping struggled to stand up.

"Today, I'll join the young brother and fight them..."

"No."

Gu Han shook his head.

"There's no need for a desperate fight, just protect Ah-Sha well."

"..."

Chen Ping was puzzled, but still did as he was told.

"Hmph!"

On the other side.

Song Chao and his people finally came to their senses.

"Putting on an act!"

"Gu Han? Who has heard of him?"

"Just a nobody, trying to intimidate us with these tricks, dream on!"

"..."

Although they didn't understand why that scattered cultivator was so afraid of Gu Han, among the seven of them, the highest cultivation level was the fifth level of Meridian Unblocking, and the lowest was the second level of Meridian Unblocking. To deal with someone at the Meridian Opening Realm was overkill.

"Attack!"

Seeing Gu Han getting closer.

Song Chao grinned viciously.

"First, slaughter this kid, then take care of Chen Ping! As for that little maid... heh heh, she looks decent, she could be sold for a good price!"

Gu Han suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"You, what did you say?"

"I said I'll kill you first, then sell..."

Swoosh!

Before he could finish his sentence.

A bright light suddenly flashed!

Song Chao's expression instantly froze, a small line of blood gradually spreading from his forehead!

What was that!

The remaining few felt a jolt in their hearts, vaguely understanding why the scattered cultivator had been so afraid of Gu Han before.

Although he was only at the Meridian Opening Realm in terms of cultivation level.

His combat power... was terrifyingly strong!

"Quick, attack together!"

"If we don't slaughter him, we'll be the unlucky ones!"

"Whoever doesn't put in the effort, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"..."

They naturally understood.

At this point, if they didn't kill Gu Han and Chen Ping, what awaited them would be endless trouble!

Suddenly!

One person suddenly broke away from the encirclement and rushed towards the severely injured Chen Ping and Ah-Sha!

Chen Ping's heart tightened, and he quickly stood in front of Ah-Sha!

"Die!"

In the blink of an eye.

That person was only a few yards away from Chen Ping!

However.

He was fast.

The Great Expansion Sword Qi was faster!

Pfft!

A bright light suddenly pierced into his back, bringing up a mist of blood, disappearing without a trace!

That person only felt darkness before his eyes, and instantly fell to the ground, lifeless!

"You all..."

Gu Han took a deep breath, unable to hide the killing intent in his eyes.

"You really deserve to die!"

Before his words fell.

He had already charged into the midst of the people!

In an instant!

Various magical treasures and divine lights flashed continuously!

Accompanied by.

Were screams, wails, and... pleas for mercy!

Not far away.

Chen Ping's eyes were wide with shock!

He had thought that Gu Han's action was like a lamb entering a tiger's den, but it turned out... it was a tiger entering a flock of sheep!

No matter how many sheep there are.

How can they fight against a fierce tiger?

Moments later.

Everything returned to calm.

Gu Han stood proudly in the center.

Like a god of slaughter!

"Young Master!"

Ah-Sha, ignoring the thick scent of blood, trotted over to Gu Han.

"You... you're hurt!"

Seeing the wounds on Gu Han's body, she was heartbroken.

"It's just a flesh wound."

Gu Han pursed his lips, not caring in the least.

To end the battle quickly and not let anyone escape, he naturally chose to fight head-on.

Besides.

These wounds.

Were nothing compared to the slaps from Murong Yan.

Chen Ping was still in shock.

He seemed to understand why the scattered cultivator had been so afraid of Gu Han.

Gu Han...

Was incomprehensibly strong!

"Young brother!"

After calming his emotions, he staggered over to Gu Han and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

"You have so little strength."

Gu Han glanced at him, shaking his head.

"And you dared to venture into the Barbaric Wilderness Forest alone?"

"..."

With one sentence.

Chen Ping was speechless.

I'm at least at the Meridian Unblocking Realm, and you're just at the Meridian Opening Realm. Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?

But thinking of Gu Han's strength...

"Young brother, you don't know."

He gave a wry smile.

"I originally hired two scattered cultivators to accompany me, but they were all scared off by those people... If I hadn't met you today..."

Quickly.

He couldn't continue.

Not far away, Gu Han was moving back and forth, cleaning up the battlefield with incredible speed.

This technique...

Was too practiced!

Chen Ping's heart suddenly shuddered.

"Here."

Suddenly.

A tender little hand reached out, holding a white, jade-like pill with a fragrant aroma.

"You seem to be hurt." Ah-Sha looked concerned.

"Thank you!"

Chen Ping felt warmth in his heart.

He naturally recognized at a glance that the pill was made by Doctor Xue, and it was not comparable to ordinary goods.

Just as he was about to take it.

"How much are you going to pay me?"

"Ah?"

Chen Ping was stunned.

You're... charging money?

"I don't really want to charge you."

Ah-Sha earnestly explained, "But my young master is very poor, I have to help him make money!"

"This..."

Chen Ping's mouth twitched.

Watching such an innocent and naive little girl doing business so seriously, he felt awkward.

"Pills refined by Doctor Xue are naturally worth a fortune... I..."

He wanted to say.

With his meager status as a manager, he couldn't afford it.

"You're a good person."

Ah-Sha tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"And you look very poor, so... how about I charge you a hundred Yuan Crystals, is that okay?"

A hundred?

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

This price was indeed as low as it could be.

You should know.

He had only asked Doctor Xue for three bottles of pills this time, and it had already cost him most of the Yuan Crystals he brought, a total of tens of thousands!

This shows.

How valuable Doctor Xue's pills really are!

A hundred Yuan Crystals were certainly a lot.

Ah-Sha had no cultivation and couldn't use the Storage Bag. The pills from before were taken out by Gu Han in advance. With no other choice, she held them in her arms. Just by looking at her crescent-moon-shaped eyes, one could tell how happy she was.

"Ah-Sha."

Gu Han came over and rubbed her head.

"So happy?"

He naturally heard their conversation.

His heart was naturally amused and touched.

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha presented the Spirit Source to Gu Han as if offering a treasure.

"I made money for you!"

"Not bad!"

Gu Han also smiled.

Not just because of Ah-Sha's actions.

But also because of the gains from this time.

These managers of the merchant associations, they were too rich!

In contemplation, Gu Han looked at Chen Ping with a heated gaze.

"Young brother."

Chen Ping felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"What are you..."

"It's nothing."

Gu Han naturally wouldn't attack him. After thinking for a moment, he took out a fist-sized, clear and transparent sphere with mist swirling inside.

"Do you recognize what this is?"

"Spirit Source?"

Chen Ping was somewhat surprised.
