Chapter 1850: Sucked Dry

Zu An had actually already wanted to see if he could kill Zhao Han with the Sun Slaying Bow while he was outside the range of the tribulation lightning.

However, back then, he had still been too far away, and Zhao Han had dealt with the tribulation lightning too easily. A lot of his attention had remained to guard against Zu An’s group. If Zu An had forced the attack in that situation, Zhao Han would likely have a way of dealing with it.

Fortunately, Zhao Han thought he didn’t have real Sun Slaying Arrows, so he was able to catch him off guard.

Zu An only had a single real Sun Slaying Arrow left, so it had to hit its target. He couldn't give Zhao Han a second chance. Otherwise, once he was prepared, the real Sun Slaying Arrow would only be able to wound him and not kill him. That was why he had needed to enter the range of the tribulation lightning. The first reason was to decrease the distance between them, and the second was to increase the power of the tribulation lightning and wear down Zhao Han. That way, he wouldn’t have the energy to guard against the arrow.

When he saw the terrifying lightning whip in the sky lash out at Zhao Han, he knew his chance had come. As such, he took out the Sun Slaying Bow, but he hadn’t immediately added the real Sun Slaying Arrow. Instead, he had condensed a few ki arrows and shot them.

Even though most of Zhao Han’s attention was on using the Human Emperor’s Seal to deal with the terrifying tribulation lightning, he hadn’t completely lowered his guard. He had still paid some attention to Zu An’s side.

When the first arrow arrived, Zhao Han had also shuddered. However, when he saw that the condensed arrow was blasted to pieces by the terrifying lightning whip when it reached a few dozen feet from him, he sighed in relief. Before the might of this terrifying tribulation lightning, those arrows were completely useless.

After that, when he saw that Zu An was still going to fire another arrow, he had only felt pity for Zu An.

He must be feeling despair now, right? He can only watch as I succeed in tribulation, and then he can only await his own death. He can only hope that these futile methods can distract me.

Thus, he had borrowed the power of the divine weapon Human Emperor Seal to continuously strike that giant lightning whip. This was something that could cleave through the void itself, so had to use all of his strength.

When he sensed that the electricity coming out of the lightning whip could also nurture his flesh with the origin of the world, Zhao Han realized that he was about to break through. As long as he could survive the thrashing of the lightning whip, he would undergo a complete transformation. He would become a true immortal.

At that time, that brat Zu An… Wait, what the hell is this?

As it turned out, those condensed arrows had only been used to make Zhao Han drop his guard. When Zu An realized that it was time, he took out the real Sun Slaying Arrow, then shouted to the women beside him, “Support me with all of your energy!”

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen had experienced the Xia Dynasty secret dungeon with him. They had seen him use the Sun Slaying Bow back then. There wasn’t even a moment of hesitation as they gave him all of their energy.

In that instant, they felt as if his body became an endless black hole. It sucked out their energy at a terrifying rate. It affected more than their hands, too. As long as their bodies were touching him, their ki poured endlessly toward him.

It felt as if a demonic technique were sucking out all of their cultivation, but the two women didn’t stop it at all. They completely released control, allowing him to wantonly suck it all out. Their bodies quickly grew weak.

I feel so limp and numb after being sucked dry…

They didn’t even have the strength to continue hugging Zu An and float in midair. Fortunately, the terrifying suction force coming from Zu An’s body kept them on him, thus preventing them from falling down.

Zu An didn’t have the time to be distracted. He transferred the power of the mountain range, and together with the two women’s cultivation, he poured it all into the arrow. Then, he fired it with all of his strength.

The Sun Slaying Arrow was like a comet, arriving behind Zhao Han almost as soon as it appeared.

Zhao Han was someone who stood at the peak of his world, so he immediately sensed the threat to his life coming from its horrifying sharp energy. How could he not realize that this was a real Sun Slaying Arrow?

This little bastard fooled me!

He didn’t have time to think about anything else and quickly tried to use some life-preserving skills to dodge. As long as he could avoid the lethal parts, with his body’s powerful regenerative power, even if he lost an arm or a leg, he could quickly recover. He would slowly settle the debt with that brat then!

However, his body suddenly froze. A look of disbelief appeared on his face. In that instant, he discovered that he actually couldn't control his body!

He was already at the peak of the earth immortal rank. He was just a step away from the level of true immortal. His control over his own body was already at a point where every hair on his body moved at his will. Losing control over his own body was something that had never happened before!

John Doe’s Nemesis: Anyone named John Doe will be restrained for one second. Effect cannot be removed by any other skill.

Nickname Card: One time use; you can change someone’s name to any name you want.

When he first got them, Zu An had thought that these two skills were total garbage, but later on, he realized that wasn’t necessarily true. They were a trump card he could use against Zhao Han! And sure enough, he finally used that trump card now.

Even though the amount of time the target was restricted for was extremely short, in a battle between true experts, a blink of an eye was enough time to change many things.

For example, when that Sun Slaying Arrow struck Zhao Han in the middle of his back, not even an earth immortal’s body could withstand it. Most of his body instantly disappeared, leaving behind only a large hole. He could even see Zu An holding his bow through that hole.

“Am I going to die?” Zhao Han murmured, a hint of fear flashing across his face. Even though the regenerative ability of high level cultivators was high, able to regenerate a limb or even some crushed internal organs, losing all of his internal viscera like this was still too much. It was completely impossible to recover from!

He had clearly already been on the verge of becoming a true immortal. He had just been one step away! And yet, he had actually died to this little bastard!

Damn yoooou!

Even his own empress and crown princess had been toyed with by Zu An, and now, he was also going to die because of this brat. There was nothing more miserable than this.

I regret it so much… I had many chances to crush him like an ant, and yet I nurtured that tiger. In the end, it came back to bite me.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

You have successfully trolled Zhao Han for +1024 +1024 +1024…

Suddenly, that lightning whip in the sky also struck his body.

Boom!

Zhao Han was instantly blasted into scattered ashes and dispersed smoke!

As if sensing that the one who faced tribulation had perished, the terrifying tribulation lightning also gradually disappeared. The clear and boundless sky was gradually restored.

Zu An’s group of three could no longer hold on. They all fell weakly to the ground. The Faraday Cage had also been completely melted by the lightning. If a few more seconds had passed, their group could also have been erased from this world by the tribulation lightning.

Zu An felt a tremendous wave of power rush into his body. He could clearly sense his strength advancing by leaps and bounds. He quickly examined his own condition. He had originally been at level 71. The experience bar was rapidly increasing, breaking through 72, 73…

It actually reached level 74 directly!

The further he went, the more slowly the experience bar grew. Eventually, the amount needed to fill every single bar would be equivalent to the sum of all of the levels before it. And yet now, he had continuously broken through three levels. Judging from that, it was clear just how powerful Zhao Han was.

Furthermore, Zu An had a feeling that he hadn’t completely absorbed Zhao Han’s soul force. That tribulation lightning had hacked Zhao Han into nothing, so his soul had also scattered, which meant there was no more power to absorb.

“F*ck, that tribulation lightning actually got to him first,” he muttered, feeling a bit upset. However, overall, he had still gained a lot. Not only had he gotten rid of Zhao Han, his greatest enemy, his own strength had also grown considerably.

He had actually been trying to compare the conventional cultivation system with his own level for a while. For example, Zhao Han was likely equivalent to someone at the peak of level 75. Even though that wasn’t very precise, it still had some reference value. As such, he was already quite satisfied with his current level of 74.

“Please hurry and get up…” Yan Xuehen said from the side, sounding hard-pressed.

Zu An noticed that he was lying on an expanse of softness. It turned out it was big sis Yan’s… At the same time, because they had fallen, his hands and feet were naturally on Yun Jianyue’s body.

Yun Jianyue had an ambiguous smile as she remarked, “Brat, how much longer are you going to grope around for?”

Zu An said weakly, “I already used up all of my strength. I can’t even get up, so let me rest for a bit first. If I’ve offended the two of you somehow, I ask for big sisters’ forgiveness.”

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were both speechless.

Does this kid really have no strength or is he lying?

However, they really didn’t have any strength left. They had almost been sucked dry earlier, so they couldn't even lift a finger, so they naturally couldn't push him away. They could only stay like this.

Yan Xuehen gave Yun Jianyue a look. In order to alleviate her embarrassment, she quickly changed the topic, saying, “I never expected we would be able to actually kill Zhao Han.”

“Right,” Yun Jianyue said, sighing deeply.

After all, Zhao Han had oppressed their entire generation. He had been the number one for who knew how many years. He was a mountain in the eyes of many generations of cultivators, the longest of rivers, and yet in the end, Zu An had dealt with him. They still felt a sense of momentary disbelief.

However, after thinking about it, they remembered that in that other secret dungeon, they had also seen him kill the Fiend Emperor. Even though Zhao Han was more powerful, he was someone on the same level as the Fiend Emperor. Zu An really was a mysterious man. He always managed to create impossible miracles.

Suddenly, a voice exclaimed, “It’s right over there! There seemed to be someone facing tribulation. Hurry and come over to take a look!”
