"Yan" revealing itself at this time was completely unsuitable, but no one could discover it secretly manipulating the "Five Hells King Cauldron". The effect of an expert in the Heaven-Man Realm and an expert in the Gang Qi Realm controlling a magic treasure simultaneously was simply a difference like heaven and earth, clouds and mud. It was just like the same horse being controlled by a master equestrian versus a reckless youth; which was superior and which was inferior could be seen at a glance.
An expert in the Heaven-Man Realm was extremely familiar with array formations. When controlling various grand arrays, they understood the subtle changes even more clearly. At the same time, when gang qi was integrated into it, array formation corresponded with array formation, multiplying the power.
Furthermore, "Yan" was inherently formidable. As the dragon vein of a Yellow Spring Holy River, its essence was three points stronger than that of a true dragon. Its current magic power was also tens of thousands, even more than Fang Han's. Even though both were at the fifth realm of the divine ability sequence, the Heaven-Man Realm, "Yan" was simply many times stronger than an ordinary human cultivator.
With over two hundred thousand heavenly demons within the Five Hells King Cauldron, it was an even more formidable and domineering force.
"Hmph! Although this Fang Han has two demonic treasures on him with immense power, his own realm is too low to unleash the power of the demonic treasures. Let us join forces, sever his connection with the demonic blade Blood Firmament, and then unleash the magic treasures we have painstakingly refined in one fell swoop, making him suffer the consequences without reprieve."
"If the six of us great Zhenren joining forces cannot take down this petty expert of the Gang Qi Realm, and word of this spreads, will there still be a place for us to stand in the future?"
"Didn't Hua Tiandu say not to let us hurt him?"
"Hmph! Do we do whatever Hua Tiandu says? Have you not heard of acting first and reporting later? If we kill this Fang Han and seize his magic treasures, what is done cannot be undone. Does Hua Tiandu dare to act against us?"
"Well said! However, the skills this child cultivates are bizarre. Although it is a wood-element divine ability, it is not the Heavenly Wood Great Method of the Yuhua Sect. The high quality of his gang qi is a rarity in the world. If we can obtain his cultivation method and refine his kind of gang qi, our cultivation will definitely be able to advance another step."
"Then let us capture him and force him to reveal his cultivation method. The gang qi of this person is indeed peculiar! Even Senior Brother Xuanyi's Black Sun Wind Disaster failed to kill him at once!"
In this instant of struggle, the gang qi of the six great Zhenren had already linked as one. At the same time, their spirits were also connected together. If one had a thought, the others would know it. The six people communicated in an instant, fundamentally expending no time at all.
These six great Zhenren were also exceptionally envious of the quality of Fang Han's gang qi. Especially Fushou Zhenren, whose full-strength slash with the Great Marsh Sword was actually blocked by the gang qi. From his experience, he knew this was a peerless and extraordinary martial art. How could he not want to obtain the dharma formula? The more divine abilities one cultivated, the stronger one became, and the more formidable the Golden Pill refined in the future would be.
The six people practically decided while striking to deal a lethal blow and cripple Fang Han in one fell swoop.
However, just as they were preparing to execute their plan, the Five Hells King Cauldron spun frantically under "Yan's" urging, and a dangerous aura burst forth.
Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…
The sound emitted by this clash of the Five Hells King Cauldron was surprisingly no longer a sonic boom, but a kind of faint, profound hissing sound that drifted in space. Flashing like a ghost or god, it directly appeared in front of the six great Zhenren. A powerful force masked all sounds, and at the same time emitted a powerful suction force to prevent the six great Zhenren from escaping.
"Yan" struck ruthlessly, surprisingly deploying over ten grand arrays for absorbing magic treasures in one breath, including the "Soul Devouring Grand Array," "Spirit-Devouring Grand Array," and "Dragon Sucking Grand Array."
The incomparable suction force seemed to suck even the light in.
The gang qi of the six great Zhenren also plunged into the King Cauldron like rivers flowing into the sea. Their bodies also restless and squirming, unable to stabilize themselves.
"Not good!"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xuanyi was greatly shocked. "There is actually a hidden expert! At least at the level of the Heaven-Man Realm, and the vigor of their magic power far exceeds experts of the same realm!"
As the thought flashed by, he wanted to strike, but it was too late.
"Yan" struck suddenly to capture them as a whole, and then use the lives of the six great Zhenren to threaten Zhao Xuanyi and Song Weiyi to leave here safely today. With the lives of the six great Zhenren in hand, let alone the Taiyi Sect holding back for fear of collateral damage, even Hua Tiandu could do nothing against them. This was currently the best and only method to resolve the situation.
Fang Han and "Yan" calculated precisely.
"Rat! How dare you!" Before Changchun Zhenren could execute his most formidable great method, Fang Han broke through the grand array. With the King Cauldron already at his side and feeling danger descending, anger erupted in his heart. Roaring fiercely, the Daoist gang qi around his body, the Changchun Great Method, rubbed violently.
But it was too late!
How could Fang Han let him readjust? With a flip of the demonic path Blood Firmament and continuous flashes, it broke through his gang qi, yet did not slay him. Instead, it danced again, slashing once upon each of the other five: Fushou Zhenren, Kanli Zhenren, Kunyuan Zhenren, Luming Zhenren, and Dafang Zhenren.
"Bang bang bang…" Bang bang!
Six sounds rang out! The protective gang qi of the five people, along with the dharma clothes on their bodies, were all slashed apart. Instantly, they lost the ability to protect themselves. With six swooshes, they were all completely absorbed into the King Cauldron.
Rumble!
Inside the King Cauldron, Long Xuan saw six people fall into the cauldron, all landing in front of a folding screen. Subsequently, golden light flashed and sonic booms roared on the folding screen. Grand arrays were urged one after another, like formless mountains, completely pinning and wrapping the six people. This was the suppression method within the Five Hells King Cauldron; pinning the enemies at once so that they could not move, leaving them at the mercy of others to be slaughtered.
However, the six great Zhenren were, after all, each Heaven-Man Realm experts. Although their magic power was not as vigorous as Fang Han's, they still possessed the galloping force of twenty to thirty thousand fiery horses, which was a full fold more than ordinary Heaven-Man Realm experts. Ordinary Heaven-Man Realm experts only had the force of ten thousand galloping horses.
The combined power of these six people exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand. Although suppressed, they were still like centipedes that die but never fall down. Within the King Cauldron, they roared fiercely, wanting to bring out a formidable trump card. Six pills flew out from their Hundred-Treasure Pouches, about to fall into their mouths; they were precisely the "Mad Demon Lifespan-Reducing Pills."
"Yan" naturally would not let them do so. If the six of them swallowed the pills, at the cost of damaging their lifespan, their skyrocketing magic power could not only allow them to break out of the cauldron but also kill Fang Han. In that case, it, too, would be unable to escape its doom.
In this critical moment hanging by a thread, "Yan" let out a bizarre cry: "I invite the God-Suppressing Monument!"
Rumble!
Instantly, within the Five Hells King Cauldron, strong light shot out from every folding screen. Converging together, it formed a massive stone monument. This stone monument was completely and densely covered with heavenly demon characters, profound and mysterious, seemingly narrating the ultimate truths of heaven and earth and the supreme demonic path.
As soon as the stone monument appeared, it suppressed down upon the heads of the six great Zhenren.
Instantly, the six great Zhenren were immediately frozen, maintaining various postures, seemingly as if congealed in ice.
"The suppression method in this Five Hells King Cauldron is this God-Suppressing Monument! I will temporarily suppress you now! Want to eat the Mad Demon Lifespan-Reducing Pill? Keep dreaming!" Yan waved a claw, and the six pills fell into its hand, subsequently handing them to Fang Han.
"Good pills, good pills, but they are of no use to me. These pills are extremely difficult to refine; even a true disciple of the Taiyi Sect only gets one pill in an entire lifetime. After eating one pill, the second pill will have no effect. You can use it in critical moments in the future; the rest can be taken out to exchange for various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. A single one of these pills can be exchanged for a massive amount of treasures."
Fang Han took the pills, then gave one each to Long Xuan and the demoness, putting away the remaining four.
Following that, his voice rolled out: "Zhao Xuanyi, Song Weiyi, if you do not want the six great Zhenren to die, retreat immediately! Hua Tiandu, if you do not stop your hand, I will abolish the divine abilities of these six great Zhenren!"
