Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 280 - 279: It Wasn’t Mercy, His Methods Were Simply Too Strange

Chapter 280: Chapter 279: It Wasn’t Mercy, His Methods Were Simply Too Strange

Shen Ye couldn’t understand.

Even if Shen Han had hidden his true strength and wasn’t at the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm, instead being at the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm,

But his own strength at this moment was the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm.

The gap between them, how could it be like this...

To cut down his apparition with one sword, at least entering the Fourth Grade would be necessary.

Even for a strong person of the Fourth Grade, it should be impossible to shatter his apparition into fragments.

But now, there was no time to ponder these things anymore.

When discussing the Sword Dao and martial cultivation...

Shen Ye dared not be arrogant; he even felt his understanding of the Sword Dao slightly lagged behind Shen Han’s.

But after all, he was the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm.

With a thought, the momentum broke.

The longsword in his hand seemed to shatter the long sky, a piercing whistle cutting through.

This sword was not an apparition and wouldn’t crumble into shadows like before.

The sword’s edge rushed fiercely forward, but as it approached within several feet of Shen Han, its speed suddenly diminished.

Under such circumstances, how could Shen Han possibly not evade it?

After dodging this move, he did not stay further.

Swallowing a Pill, his figure moved southward, fully utilizing his Body Technique.

In this entanglement lasting nearly a two-hour period, although Shen Ye injured Shen Han once, he nonetheless couldn’t trap him.

From afar, a strong aura was already approaching.

Shen Ye’s face turned pale, using his full strength once.

Yet he still let him escape...

Undoubtedly, Dean Tianyi was arriving.

Shen Ye dared not advance further, standing his ground, and could only retreat.

And this time, he had barely stepped away.

A sweetness surged up from his throat, followed by a mouthful of fresh blood.

Elevating strength suddenly, how could it be so easy...

His body suffered the backlash, yet Shen Han still escaped.

Could it be the notion of destiny was true?

Is he truly someone chosen by destiny?

And what about himself?

What is he?

At this moment, Shen Ye couldn’t stop; he had to return to the Secret Realm’s entrance.

Dean Tianyi was coming soon, and both he and Luo Zuchen had to leave...

Late night, 3:00 AM.

Under the protection of the tutors from Tianyi Academy, Shen Han finally returned to the academy.

After responding to the concerns of his fellow students Chai Haifu and others, Shen Han returned to his room.

Sitting on the bed, he still felt somewhat worried.

He didn’t know the outcome of Shi Yuezhu’s confrontation with Luo Zuchen.

Since Dean Tianyi was already heading toward the Secret Realm, Luo Zuchen should have already escaped...

Strong individuals in the Immortal Realm each possess their own means of self-preservation, so there shouldn’t be problems...

At this time, Shen Han could only comfort himself in this way to find peace.

In the dense forest.

Luo Zuchen and Shen Ye were temporarily resting here.

Luo Zuchen had already been injured, and Shen Ye was also weak.

"After this incident, Shen Han is likely to be even more closely guarded in the Capital City,

making it increasingly difficult to eliminate him in the future."

Luo Zuchen felt a bit disappointed; this was clearly a good opportunity.

But he couldn’t have thought that Shen Ye hadn’t managed to eliminate him.

"How did Shen Han manage to escape? With such a difference in strength, he shouldn’t have been able to..."

Luo Zuchen didn’t want to accuse Shen Ye, but he couldn’t understand why this situation had occurred.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye also frowned.

Reaching out, he broke a stalk of wild grass nearby.

"As Mr. Luo said, Shen Han indeed concealed his skills.

His strength was not at the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm, but the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm."

Hearing this, Luo Zuchen was shocked, and pulling at his wounds, he felt a sharp pain.

Nineteen years old, at the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm.

This was stronger than Shen Ye had been at the same age.

"In this case, then we absolutely cannot let this Shen Han go.

If he grows up, he will undoubtedly be extremely troublesome."

Luo Zuchen detested the feeling of leaving hidden dangers.

Previously, Shen Han seemed like a minor threat, but just to be safe, they decided to target him.

But now, if he grows stronger, he would be a major problem.

Most crucially, he, Luo Zuchen, had already come this far...

Having attempted multiple times to end Shen Han’s life, it was undeniably an irreconcilable feud.

Thinking of this, Luo Zuchen couldn’t help but add another sentence.

"Even if Shen Han has achieved the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm, he shouldn’t have evaded your techniques, Ye’Er.

Seeing you so weak, you must have used that Secret Technique again.

Could your Fifth Grade Fruit Realm strength not suffice to kill him?"

Luo Zuchen was well aware of his disciple’s capabilities.

Even if Shen Han had some protective Divine Object, he couldn’t be unharmed.

"Did your heart soften, Ye’Er? Do you still think of that brotherhood?"

Luo Zuchen was attributing too much goodwill to Shen Ye, thinking he was soft-hearted due to emotions.

Hearing this, Shen Ye shook his head promptly.

"I did not hold back, but his techniques were truly bizarre.

The apparition I conjured was clearly of a higher grade, yet Shen Han shattered it with one sword...

I’ve never experienced such a seamless way to counter my techniques.

When my sword strike approached, its speed suddenly plummeted.

A strange aura surrounded Shen Han..."

Shen Ye murmured, his heart despondent from this journey.

What once was a mere speck of dust had now cut down his doppelgänger.

Even using full strength, he still escaped.

Next time, would he already be able to stand on equal footing with him...?

Seeing Shen Ye’s gloomy expression, Luo Zuchen did not want to put more pressure on him.

He gently patted his shoulder.

"Rest assured, Ye’Er.

As long as I am by your side, I will help you sort this out.

If Shen Han proves completely unmanageable, we will stake everything to ensure his end."

Hearing these words, Shen Ye’s spirit lifted somewhat.

Yet his face still bore a hint of worry.

This failure seemed to transform Shen Han into a nightmare.

Every time he closed his eyes, the nightmare began to haunt him.

"Mr. Luo, do you believe in the notion of destiny?"

Luo Zuchen didn’t expect that his offhand remark would linger in Shen Ye’s mind for this long.

"The notion of destiny is just a retrospective interpretation based on existing reality.

If Ye’Er, you eliminate Shen Han and grow stronger,

then people will say you are the child of destiny, surrounded by good fortune.

Conversely, if we miss this chance,

those words will fall on Shen Han."

Pausing, Luo Zuchen looked at Shen Ye.

"You’ve indeed lost some pride lately, Ye’Er.

We aim to eliminate Shen Han just to avoid future issues, nothing more.

Even if Shen Han is of the same Realm as you, the outcome should still be you winning, him losing.

Broaden your temperament, and think of this as clearing an annoying pest from your ear."
