Chapter 831 -358: Half-immortal Hunt, Gray Long Knife_2
Under such choices, he was highly likely to step into dangerous territories, but the half-immortal behind him would be in the same predicament after entering the central region.
In front of the dangers in the central area of the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond, both he and the half-immortal chasing him would be treated the same way.
In short, they were gambling with their lives.
This was an approach Han Yi would only choose if there were no other options.
Moreover, the biggest premise of this method was that the half-immortal chasing him would only be slightly faster than him.
Han Yi did not hold out much hope for this.
...
Hence, most likely, he would not even be able to take this life-threatening gamble.
The second option was to look for islands with half-immortal auras in the outer region, using his Shape-changing Divine Ability to blend in, and hope that two or even several half-immortals come into conflict with each other, which would allow Han Yi to escape amidst the chaos.
This method was too desperate. Han Yi’s Shape-changing Divine Ability had proven to be able to perfectly disguise him in front of Spirit Transformation cultivators, but in front of a half-immortal, even though he had not yet tested it, he held no confidence whatsoever.
The third option was to use the Wisdom Clan’s Han Zhi, who was sealed inside him, as a shield at the last moment, attracting the half-immortal to attack Han Zhi. Ideally, the seal could be broken; if not, the seal might have a counterattack.
This had even greater uncertainty, and coming too close to the half-immortal increased the chances of him being killed before he even got to act.
There was a high probability of this happening. With the increase in cultivation base, the difference in reaction speed widened, and Han Yi might only just start thinking about it before the homicide was upon him, destroying his Divine Soul.
It was like him deciding to kill an early-stage Golden Core cultivator at this very moment, he could absolutely do so with ease the moment the cultivator began to react.
This was the suppression across vast realms.
In the third option there was also a fourth option, which was to instantly wake up Han Zhi of Wisdom Clan right now. If she were to take action, the half-immortal behind him would just be a minor underling that could be eliminated with a wave of her hand.
Han Yi’s thoughts raced wildly in his heart, and he made a quick decision.
That was to try to awaken Han Zhi whilst dashing deeper in, keeping an eye out for nearby islands at the same time.
If it was impossible, he would simply choose any island randomly. Before the half-immortal reached him, he would immediately use a fifth-stage talisman and a fourth-stage talisman to confuse the scene to prompt the half-immortal to act, then he would throw out Han Zhi from the seal to confront the half-immortal. If the seal could be broken, that would be the best outcome; if not, there was also the possibility of triggering the restriction within the seal, which could kill or frighten off the half-immortal.
Such a course of action, of course, was not foolproof.
However, at this moment, it was the only plan Han Yi could come up with.
The trace left by the Illusionary Fire Escape evaporated in an instant.
Han Yi was split between two tasks; he was scanning his surroundings quickly while sinking into his Inner Heart Realm to attempt waking up Han Zhi of Wisdom Clan.
To his disappointment, no matter whether it was the normal Soul Sword or the Soul Burying Saber, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break the one meter protection of Yi energy in front of Han Zhi.
However.
When his divine consciousness enveloped the whole protective layer, he could indeed move Han Zhi to the Outside World.
Now his only option was to use her as a shield.
He took out the fifth-stage talisman, Spirit Immortal Soul-conquering Talisman, and many fourth-stage talismans from the Qiankun Ring and held them in his hand.
If the half-immortal caught up, he would launch an attack first, then use Han Zhi to block the attack.
Seven minutes later, Han Yi came across an island. He gritted his teeth, decided not to proceed further, and dived downwards.
He set up a Returning Ruins Sword Array and scattered various talismans on its periphery.
These talismans were not for killing the enemy, but for confusing the battlefield.
But as soon as Han Yi laid out the sword array, he jerked back to his senses.
No.
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
Considering the strength of a half-immortal cultivator, it should not have taken him so long to catch up to himself.
He was standing in the sky above a part of the island, and his eyes ignited with Formless Divine Fire as he looked out into the void.
After a full minute.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
He saw an old man emanating the aura of half-immortal, quickly approaching in his direction.
“This aura, yes, it’s the half-immortal that appeared outside the valley.”
“But this speed, what’s going on?”
Han Yi was puzzled.
At this moment, the speed of the old man did not conform to the speed of a half-immortal; it was only equivalent to the speed of a cultivator in the latter phase of Spirit Transformation, roughly the same speed as when Han Yi was using the Illusionary Fire Escape.
Just then.
Han Yi saw the half-immortal increase his speed for an instant, but a few breaths later, the speed dropped again. At the same moment, the half-immortal’s aura also began to fluctuate intensely, a sense of weakness hidden beneath the half-immortal aura had been detected by Han Yi.
“This half-immortal is injured, very severely.”
Upon a flash of understanding in Han Yi’s heart, another thought that thrilled him followed closely behind.
“He can’t catch up to me.”
The moment this thought arose and before he could contain his joy, he impulsively waved his hand, retrieved the Returning Ruins Sword Array and the talismans, and left the island.
This time, instead of proceeding deeper into the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond, he skimmed across to other islands along the horizontal direction.
Since the half-immortal could only exert the speed of a latter phase Spirit Transformation after being wounded, and even if he forcibly increased his speed, he could at most reach the peak of Spirit Transformation and could only maintain it for a few breaths.
He had no reason to confront the other party head-on.
Because Han Yi was clear, even if injured, if he encountered the half-immortal, the latter could possibly finish him off in one move, directly resulting in his death.
This was the disparity in the major realm.
Even if not dead, there was no need for him to take a gamble, because the other party could not catch up to him.
Once he realized this, Han Yi decided to retrieve the Sword Array and talismans and reenter the void to escape.
