Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 675 - 672 Hypocrisy

"This Phoenix Sect, there’s something eerie about it."

Qingyi’s ferocious expression subsided, and she frowned deeply, "It seems they’ve been prepared for quite some time, otherwise, they wouldn’t dare exaggerate their claims like this. Could they really blast open that restriction?"

"I doubt it."

Ji Mingkong stared at Su Han and the others, with a cold light flickering in his eyes, "This person does have some tricks up his sleeve to have made the resistance and pressure disappear. But considering the cultivation base of these people from the Phoenix Sect, it’s too low. If they really tried to force it, they wouldn’t be able to break the restriction."

"Why does it have to be done by force?"

Chen Yue retorted, "What if he has other methods, just like he eliminated the resistance and pressure, to make the restriction disappear?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

However, they quickly shook their heads.

They were used to occupying the superior position and had always seen the Phoenix Sect as a Sixth-Rate Sect. They never believed that if they couldn’t do something, how could the Phoenix Sect possibly do it?

Thus, even though Su Han’s actions at that moment surprised them, it was just a surprise and nothing more.

While they were discussing, the people from the Phoenix Sect had already arrived outside the restriction.

Without the obstruction of resistance and pressure, the mere one-kilometer distance was quickly traversed.

Standing in front of the restriction, Liuyun and the others could feel its power. Su Han, standing at the forefront, stared at the restriction intensely, and after a long while, he sighed softly.

The appearance of this restriction reminded him of scenes he once encountered in the Spirit Realm.

All that was now a thing of the past.

"Sect Master, what’s wrong? Are you confident you can open it?" Hong Chen looked at Su Han.

Su Han nodded lightly and smiled, "It’s just a restriction from the Spirit Realm. Not to mention that this restriction has been eroded by the years, even if it were intact, as long as its creator is dead, I would be able to open it."

"Remember, restrictions don’t limit cultivation base, they are a method. However, the Divine Sense required for a restriction is too powerful. Without sufficient mental capacity, one would find it hard to maintain the effort needed to break through a restriction. So, under general circumstances, restrictions are still linked to cultivation base."

"Understood." The crowd nodded.

Su Han took a deep breath, flipped his hand, and once again took out three Rune Seals.

The Runes on these three Rune Seals were far more numerous than on the previous ones, and they all flickered with a golden glow.

Su Han’s eyes flashed as he struck the first Rune Seal directly onto the restriction.

"Hum~"

As the Rune Seal merged, the restriction immediately emitted a buzzing sound, followed by the huge restriction starting to tremble. The trembling grew more intense by the moment, as if it was about to shatter at any time.

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Han struck down the second Rune Seal.

"Crack!"

Upon the impact of the second Rune Seal, astonishing cracks began to appear from where it struck the restriction.

The cracks grew larger and spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire restriction!

"This is impossible!!!"

This scene, witnessed by Ji Mingkong and the others outside, created a tumultuous surge in their minds.

The formidability of that restriction was something they had experienced firsthand. Not to mention breaking it, causing it even to tremble was deemed impossible.

But at this moment, Su Han had managed to shatter it simply by using two Rune Seals?

"He still has a third Rune Seal!" Zhou Chen spoke out, his eyes flickering.

"Could he really open this Restriction? And what exactly is this Rune Seal? How could it be so powerful that it could even unlock a Restriction laid by a Divine Spirit?" Qingyi couldn’t believe it.

"Su Baliu..."

Han Yiming muttered, staring at Su Han, deep in thought.

"Senior Brother Han, if he really gets the Sage’s Skull, shall we... snatch it?" a young man behind him discreetly asked through transmission.

Han Yiming’s face revealed contemplation, and after a moment, he transmitted back, "We are not the only power here. If the Phoenix Sect can’t keep the Sage’s Skull, it will fall into the hands of others."

"I understand."

The young man nodded slightly, showing enlightenment.

"Su Baliu!"

Ji Mingkong shouted loudly, "I don’t believe you can break this Restriction!"

Su Han didn’t respond; he didn’t even glance at him, but suddenly pressed the third Rune Seal in his hand onto the Restriction.

"Boom!!!"

With the placement of this third Rune Seal, the Restriction, already full of cracks, exploded with a loud bang at that moment!

"It’s broken!"

"It really is broken, my god, how is this possible?"

"A Restriction that even my Zhou Family couldn’t break was actually broken by a Sixth-Rate Sect?"

"It’s definitely not because of the Phoenix Sect’s strength; those Rune Seals must have been obtained by Su Baliu when he found the Map Bone. They were probably left by that Divine Spirit for the successor. It can only be said that Su Baliu is too lucky!"

"Had we known this, we should have taken down the Phoenix Sect first. By obtaining those Rune Seals, we could have gotten the Sage’s Skull and, if there were treasures left in the Saint’s remains, even obtained the Supreme Treasure!"

"What do we do now? Do we attack or not?"

The people from the Five Great Powers were anxious, seeing that Su Han had blasted the Restriction open and was standing in front of the Saint’s remains; the juniors from the various powers began to consult with Ji Mingkong, Zhou Chen, and others.

"Wait."

Zhou Chen, old and scheming, smirked coldly, "This Su Baliu, say he’s clever and he is, say he’s foolish yet he is. He has the ability to open this Restriction, but chose to do so in front of us, really thinking these guys would keep their word and not rob him? That’s far too naïve."

"Then at this moment..." someone asked.

"Su Baliu has his methods. Once they enter, they’ll likely face new Obstacles and pressure. We’ll just watch and wait here, as they are bound to come out eventually," Zhou Chen mused, then sneered coldly again. "Even more, if there truly are a Saint’s Supreme Treasures here, perhaps Su Baliu has a method to extract them. If we go in now, we might startle the grass and alert the snake. It’s better to wait until they’ve completely retrieved those treasures and brought out the Sage’s Skull before we make our move."

"Elder is wise!" the person immediately complimented, finding it very logical.

Not just Zhou Chen, others too, like Ji Mingkong, Qingyi, and Chen Yue, all shared this line of thought.

Even Han Yiming no longer concerned himself with the fact that Su Han had previously let Wen Ling go, but felt that even if he didn’t rob, others would, so it was better to join in the attack. That way, he might also get a share of the spoils.

With this mindset, no one made a move.

Even Ji Mingkong stood up, clasped his fists with a slight bow, and said aloud, "Brother Su is truly wise, able to break this Restriction. Ji admires you. Brother Su, rest assured, since we’ve promised before, we won’t go back on our word. I’ll stand guard here for Brother Su; please feel free to claim the Sage’s Skull."
