Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 288 - 287: Shen Han’s All-Out Strike

At the end of September, with every breeze of autumn wind that blew in, the surrounding scenery became a bit more withered and yellow.

Since last night, Shen Han had been quietly waiting along that path.

Apart from the landscape concealment, he additionally set up an array around him for added stealth.

In Luo Zuchen and Shen Ye’s eyes, perhaps they only ever saw themselves as the ones attacking others.

They probably never anticipated that they might be ambushed one day.

In the Capital City, who didn’t know of Luo Zuchen’s ruthless nature?

Unless there were major conflicts of interest, who would lose their mind and try to go against him or his beloved students?

Once trouble arises, Luo Zuchen doesn’t even need evidence; mere suspicion would cause him to strike their family.

But Shen Han was unafraid.

If they wanted to make a move against the Shen Family, let them come.

At this side of Tianyi Academy, the academy’s guards were becoming increasingly strict.

At the Yun Mansion in Anyang City, there was an Immortal Realm expert providing protection.

As long as they remained within the mansion or the academy, there was no fear of Luo Zuchen’s actions.

They waited with a calm mind.

One day and night, two days and nights...

An autumn night occasionally saw the bright moonlight.

Shen Han stayed calm and his thoughts unwavering.

Beside him, the daisies which were once buds were quietly blooming.

They were bold indeed, and Shen Han sitting beside them didn’t frighten them.

Daisies bloom in both spring and autumn, but autumn daisies seemed to have an extra sense of resilience.

Facing the coming winter, they’re unafraid.

In his hidden spot, Shen Han was also unafraid; if he succeeded...

Then Luo Zuchen, then the Shen Family, would surely be furious and viciously revengeful.

But what of it?

Luo Zuchen, with his deep killing intent, already wanted Shen Han dead.

Given that, what else could he use to threaten Shen Han?

As time passed, occasionally Mountain Sea Students would pass by this route.

Each time they passed, various birds hiding in the bushes would be startled.

It truly embodied the term ’scattered like birds and beasts.’

At the same time, it provided a good warning for him.

Seeing the birds scatter, he could then raise his eyes to observe carefully.

According to Shen Ye’s past habits, he usually returned to the Capital City after about five days of training outside.

On the fifth day, something unexpected happened; Shen Ye didn’t appear as anticipated.

With patience, Shen Han waited until the sixth day.

At 7:00 AM, the sky had already brightened, and the autumn wind blew with a hint of dryness.

Shen Ye appeared.

During this training trip, he brought along his scholar.

Having someone who slowed him down, his pace was much slower.

The two seemed to be strolling leisurely, step by step as if taking a relaxing walk.

Shen Ye truly hadn’t considered that anyone would dare to ambush him.

Behind him was Luo Zuchen and the Shen Family.

Common small-time thieves were something he could easily handle.

Anyone who could pose a challenge to him would surely have a notable background.

If someone dared to make a move against him, was the power behind them ready to face Mr. Luo and the Shen Family?

With such confidence in his heart, these circumstances left Shen Ye completely unbothered about his own safety.

"Young Master Ye, Madam He sent a message last night saying in two days, the Old Dowager and the third master of the Shen Family will visit the Capital City.

It might be to look for Shen Han..."

Shen Ye frowned. Hearing Shen Han’s name agitated him.

As they walked along, startled birds scattered everywhere.

Seemingly agitated, Shen Ye waved his hand, and a blaze of fire appeared.

The startled birds met their demise immediately.

The flame sparked on the ground, igniting some dry grass along the path.

The fiery glow made the cool autumn day feel scorching hot.

The scholar walking beside Shen Ye hurriedly stepped forward a few steps.

He had no real mastery of the Martial Path.

His Bone Tempering was just by sheer luck.

An autumn wind gusted by, and the flames even leapt towards him, startling him greatly.

Seeing his scholar’s comical demeanor, the usually stern Shen Ye was amused.

But after the autumn wind, a sharp aura swiftly rushed forth.

Shen Ye proved worthy of the title ’prodigy.’

Even being caught unawares by a sudden attack, he quickly reacted.

Yet with such close distance, it was already dangerous for him.

"Flowing Water, Shield!"

With those words, a waterfall-like curtain of water blocked Shen Han’s front.

"Sword and Man Unity!"

The long sword in his hand carried a glint of silver-blue light.

The Power of Laws was also attached to the sword’s body.

Around him was the company of the Delayed Array.

Shen Han understood well that he only had one chance to strike.

One strike, his strongest move—there was no room for probing.

At this moment, Shen Han, masked, sought to hide his identity as much as possible.

But from the mere sword technique and the oppressive aura, Shen Ye instantly guessed who it was.

The sharpness of the sword technique faintly gave Shen Ye a sense of suffocation.

He could clearly feel that if he took this strike, his body would be severely injured.

In his heart, a hint of panic subconsciously arose.

More so, a sense of fear for what could’ve been.

If he hadn’t reacted, he might’ve lost half his life.

But this time was destined to fill Shen Ye with more dread.

The long sword in Shen Han’s hand slashed through the water wall before him.

The defensive technique, usually effective, shattered in an instant upon being severed.

Just like before when he pursued Shen Han.

The invoked abnormal phenomena were all cleaved apart one by one.

As the sword drew closer, the chill on the blade even seeped into Shen Ye’s very bones. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He never thought that Shen Han would actually attack him.

Or rather, that he would even dare to attack him!

Yet the unexpected unfolded, catching Shen Ye off guard.

This was a sneak attack, and it was Shen Han’s full force strike, accompanied by the Delayed Array Skill.

Layered strategies like these were difficult for even Shen Ye to contend with.

To conjure a water wall for defense was already a testament to his strength.

Shen Ye attempted to grab the scholar beside him, letting him take the blow for himself.

Perhaps Shen Han would relent and not harm anyone else.

But this time, Shen Han left no room for retreat, and his sword struck with full power.

Retracting the sword would only cause a backlash and injury to himself.

And he only had this one strike; with its momentum, he had to leave immediately.

There was no way he could retract the sword.

As the blade pierced, the loyal scholar who served Shen Ye met his end.

But the sword didn’t stop—it continued forward, towards Shen Ye.

In an instant, a strange dazzling light flashed.

The powerful pressure blasted both Shen Han and Shen Ye apart.

The pressure countered the Sword Might, leaving Shen Han unharmed.

As for Shen Ye, he was thrown dozens of yards away, with blood staining his lips.

His face turned pale.

His gaze was venomous, as if he wished to tear Shen Han into pieces to vent his hatred.

But Shen Han, seeing his attack fail, swiftly vanished.

On this path, there were many Mountain Sea Students; how could he linger?
