Dragon King's Son-In-Law-Chapter 704: Fragile Su Han

Instantly, several powerful suppression crashed toward them from the high sky, choking Hao Ren and Su Han.

Almost at the same time, five to six dharma treasures flew toward them with whistling sounds!

The attackers were Soul Formation Realm cultivators on Seventh Heaven!

After the appearance of a supreme spiritual treasure on Sixth Heaven, they had begun to pay attention to Fifth and Sixth Heavens by leaving a trace of spiritual senses in these places.

When Hao Ren and Su Han entered Fifth Heaven at midnight, their movements couldn't escape the spiritual senses left behind by the Soul Formation Realm cultivators.

Especially when Su Han used all her power to force the Nine Dragon Palace to appear with the aid of five dragon nails, the booming sounds alerted the Soul Formation Realm cultivators who were living on Seventh Heaven.

On Fifth Heaven which was far above the clouds on land, the thunderous noise could only mean that a cultivator was passing a lightning tribulation.

With little effort, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators had sensed the aura of dragon cultivators on Fifth Heaven.

Therefore, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators attacked immediately!

Not expecting that the Soul Formation Realm cultivators would intervene, Hao Ren and Su Han were alarmed when the dharma treasures shot through the array formation between Sixth Heaven and Fifth Heaven and crashed toward them!

Su Han had purposefully selected midnight to enter Fifth Heaven so that they wouldn't alert the human cultivators on Fifth Heaven. With her top-tier Qian -level strength, she wasn't afraid of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but she wouldn't be able to force out the Nine Dragon Palace if a large group of human cultivators chased her.

She had avoided the Core Fruition Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators but couldn't escape from the spiritual senses of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators!

The Soul Formation Realm cultivators had never cared much about the things happening on Fifth Heaven. But after the emergence of a supreme spiritual treasure and the incident around Ethereal Summit, they realized that they couldn't ignore Fifth Heaven.

"Go!"

Seeing the dharma treasures crashing toward them at lightning speed, Hao Ren worked up the chaotic lightning energy in his body and managed to break off the suppressions of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators.

While stepping on the purple gold hairpin, he dashed behind Su Han.

Holding Su Han's waist, he raced toward the base of the disappearing Nine Dragon Palace while the purple gold hairpin moved at its greatest speed.

Hum!

The five silver dragon nails suddenly shot out white lights on one spot at the base of the Nine Dragon Palace.

After careful calculations, Su Han had found this spot for them to enter the Nine Dragon Palace. She had done her investigations on Fifth Heaven by concealing her aura, but they were discovered by the Soul Formation Realm cultivators from Seventh Heaven!

Su Han's longsword released a blinding light which opened a small crack in the Nine Dragon Palace's array formation! It was the weakest spot in the array formation!

With her full strength, Su Han was only able to create a small tunnel!

Gritting his teeth, Hao Ren held Su Han's waist with force.

On one side was the small crack in the array formation of the Nine Dragon Palace, and on the other side was the dharma treasures launched by the Soul Formation Realm cultivators from Seventh Heaven!

Swoosh!

Hao Ren flew into this small crack that was surrounded by colorful lights with Su Han in his arms, feeling as if they had entered a wormhole with glowing lights.

If they were a split-second slower, he and Su Han would be sealed in the array formation and squeeze into pieces!

Hao Ren poured out the metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence from his body, pushing the purple gold hairpin to its greatest speed.

It was fortunate that the purple gold hairpin wasn't an ordinary dharma treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to fly under the violent suppression of the array formation!

With widened eyes, Su Han's body tensed up like a piece of iron. Her calculation was perfect, but the unexpected delay caused by the Soul Formation Realm cultivators at the most critical moment made them enter the crack in the array formation half second late!

They should have passed the crack with little risk, but now the situation was extremely dangerous! The array formation was closing right behind Hao Ren's heels!

Bang! Hao Ren and Su Han suddenly fell on the ground after being spat out by the array formation.

Meanwhile, the dharma treasures of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators crashed on the edges of the array formation around the Nine Dagon Palace, and the dark outline of the Nine Dragon Palace was revealed again.

However, even the dharma treasures of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn't open the Nine Dragon Palace's array formation, and they were bounced off one by one.

Hum!

The Nine Dragon Palace vanished into the darkness.

"Hu... Hu..." Lying on the ground, Hao Ren panted heavily and touched his cheek with his left hand, finding that he was still alive.

Suddenly, he saw his right arm holding Su Han's soft waist while his right palm was gripping the softest part of her chest.

Hua!

Hao Ren withdrew his right hand hurriedly, knowing that Su Han would kill him for touching her body this way.

After receiving no reaction from her, Hao Ren turned to look at her cautiously.

Su Han's body was listless, and her eyes lost its usual sharpness as if she had exhausted all her strength and couldn't even get up from the ground.

Hao Ren sat up and tried to pull her up by grabbing her wrist.

"Let me... rest for a while," Su Han panted her words out while leaning her head on Hao Ren's shoulder.

Hao Ren suddenly remembered that in the Nine Dragon Palace which sealed the five elements; any cultivator who didn't have hundun energy which was the combination of all five elements were as weak as mortals.

Despite her top-tier Qian-level strength, Su Han was just a mortal who couldn't use any of her cultivation techniques!

Right now, Su Han wasn't a master but a fragile girl who needed Hao Ren's protection!

It was night outside of the Nine Dragon Palace, and it was the same inside. It was so dark that Hao Ren couldn't see his own fingers if he didn't use his nature essence.

With his super eyesight, Hao Ren could only see himself and Su Han and nothing beyond half a meter.

Not able to cultivate or recover her nature essence, Su Han leaned on Hao Ren's body and tried to recover some of her strength by using the traditional breathing method.

While grabbing Hao Ren's wrist with her left hand, her shoulders moved slightly with her breathing.

In this dark night, if they got separated, they wouldn't be able to find each other. It seemed that the sounds were blocked, and they couldn't travel far.

The dull space felt like an invisible cage.

Hao Ren thought that Su Han wouldn't be able to make it by herself if he didn't come with her.

"Besides, she has no nature essence in the Nine Dragon Palace and can only rely on me, entrusting her life in my hands. It is a great trust..." Hao Ren thought.

In fact, Su Han was quite emotional as she tried to breathe evenly. She remembered that when the array formation closed, Hao Ren still held her tightly even though it slowed him down; he hadn't let her go despite the risk of being swallowed by the array formation...

Su Han pressed her cheek on Hao Ren's shoulder, feeling a sense of security that she had never experienced before.

Su Han had been alone all her life and had never relied on anyone, but in the Nine Dragon Palace, she had to rely on Hao Ren.

Snap!

A thread of hundun lightning energy appeared on Hao Ren's fingertip and shone on Su Han's beautiful face.

"Don't..." Su Han immediately reached out and covered his fingertip.

"Let's find a place to hide during the night." Hao Ren looked at her in bafflement.

"We can't wander around," Su Han said in a low voice.

Roar... Roar... From a distance came roars of monsters.

The roars sounded distant, but in the Nine Dragon Palace where the sounds were blocked, the fierce beasts might be very close to them.

"Except for when the four ocean dragon clans opened it together, the Nine Dragon Palace is full of fierce beasts," Su Han whispered to Hao Ren.

Either due to her weak strength or the intention to lower her voice, Su Han's voice was very low, and her breath tickled Hao Ren's ear.

Hao Ren's heart raced when he thought that Su Han who had been admired afar by men was now leaning on his body so softly.

Su Han felt around to pick up her longsword and placed it on Hao Ren's knee before saying lightly, "Don't think about those things."

Hearing her words, Hao Ren sat straighter as if she had hit the target.

"What do we do now?" Hao Ren asked her.

Despite her beauty, no one could get close to her quickly. She only leaned on his body since she took Hao Ren as someone she could trust. It was a great fortune for Hao Ren considering her usual reaction to other men.

"We have to stay here until daytime, and we'll act after assessing the situation," Su Han said.

She had probably recovered some of her strength since her tone was stronger instead of soft and listless.

Roar... Roar... The roars of fierce beasts rose around them constantly.

Hao Ren touched his chest and felt like they were lucky that they hadn't landed beside some fierce beasts.

They would have to engage in a fierce battle or would have been swallowed by the fierce beasts without a chance to fight if that happened.

Since they landed on the spot without fierce beasts too close by, they could recover their strengths slowly in half a day.

Even the first step in their adventure in the Nine Dragon Palace had been so dangerous, and Hao Ren found it hard to imagine what other dangers were waiting for them.

Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark night, Hao Ren sensed that the Nine Dragon Palace was a gloomy and damp place filled with thick fogs at night.

He and Su Han had landed on a flat land without any rocks that they could hide behind.

At midnight, even the fierce beasts didn't dare to move around, so it was the safest to stay where they were.

However, this damp and chilly air sent shivers to even Hao Ren, let alone Su Han who couldn't activate any nature essence.

After a moment of consideration, Hao Ren tightened his arms around Su Han's shoulders, pulling her into his arms, and giving her some warmth with his broad chest.

Su Han looked up at Hao Ren, and her white face looked so exquisite and lively in the dark night.

Despite her reluctance to Hao Ren's impetuous act, Su Han was now a little woman who couldn't activate her nature essence...

Biting her red lips, Su Han leaned her head against Hao Ren's chest.
