High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 269 Second-Order Array

"Oh! This is such a small matter, there's no need for you, Holy Maiden, to make the trip yourself!"

The fat steward quickly took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense.

Name: Lin Hanzhou

Bone age: 22

【Hometown: Mortal Realm, Green Ox Village】

The information was shockingly simple; even the cultivation level field was filled in as "Qi Refining Level 3".

"The information is fine; leave it to the scoundrel!"

The fat steward took out a jade slip containing information about the outer disciples of the Holy Land and inscribed the information of "Lin Hanzhou" into it.

Then, he took out a waist token representing the identity of an outer disciple and handed it to Su Muqing with both hands.

"Your Highness, it's done!"

"From now on, this young brother Lin Hanzhou is our Blood Soul Holy Land's rightful disciple."

Su Muqing took the waist token, her fingertips gently stroking the two words "Blood Soul" on it, a barely perceptible hint of relief flashing in her eyes.

"Well done."

She casually gave the fat steward a bottle of pills, then turned and left.

After doing all this, Su Muqing finally felt relieved and headed to her Holy Maiden Palace to prepare for her secluded cultivation and attempt to break through to the seventh level.

……

In the eastern part of Tianxuan Realm, on the border of Blood Soul Continent, lies an unnamed ancient forest.

a few days later.

When Lin Hanzhou's figure finally crossed that long and desolate buffer zone and arrived at the border of Blood Soul Continent.

A sudden, eerie fluctuation enveloped him.

"Buzz—!"

Lin Hanzhou, who was about to tear through the void and dive directly into the Blood Soul Continent, suddenly stopped.

To his surprise, the void in front of him had become as hard as divine iron, and no matter how much he activated the power of the world within his body, he could not shake it in the slightest.

"Space lockdown?!"

Lin Hanzhou's brows furrowed instantly.

He immediately became alert, and the vast and boundless power of his divine soul spread wildly in all directions like a tidal wave, attempting to explore the surrounding situation.

However, just as his divine soul began to probe beyond a radius of ten miles...

An invisible yet indestructible and terrifying barrier forcefully rebounded his divine soul power back.

Upon realizing that his soul probing was being blocked, Lin Hanzhou's expression turned serious.

"Is this an eighth-order formation?"

He instantly determined the grade of the barrier.

Only an eighth-order or higher formation could so perfectly seal off space, even completely blocking his terrifying soul, which was comparable to an eighth-order being.

"Have I fallen into an ambush?"

A strong sense of doubt arose in Lin Hanzhou's heart.

"Who on earth could have set up such an exquisite formation here?"

"And how did I expose my whereabouts?"

It should be noted that throughout the entire journey, he had been using the "Heavenly Secrets Strategy" to conceal the cause and effect, and constantly operating the "Thousand Illusions Without Form" to completely hide his aura.

Even if an eighth-order Tribulation Transcending Venerable were to come in person, it would be impossible to deduce his location so accurately.

"Could it be the Blood Soul Holy Land?"

"But I haven't betrayed them yet!"

Just as Lin Hanzhou was racking his brains trying to figure it out, his mind raced.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Ten ghostly, pitch-black figures emerged slowly from the dense shadows of the ancient forest without warning.

Each of them wore a specially made black robe that could block divine detection, and their faces were covered with hideous demon masks, completely concealing all their features.

But the terrifying aura, like a volcano about to erupt, could not be concealed.

Those were ten genuine peak seventh-tier experts.

"hiss--!"

Even the usually composed Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene.

Ten peak seventh-tier individuals?

Even among the seven holy lands, such a lineup would be a force to be reckoned with.

The fact that they could send out ten peak seventh-tier experts means that the force behind them must be extraordinary.

At the very least, this is the formidable strength that only the seven holy lands possess.

However, the ten men in black robes did not give Lin Hanzhou much time to react.

There was no nonsense, and no opening remarks.

The moment those ten men in black robes appeared, the killing intent in their eyes reached its peak.

The ten people, like ten black lightning bolts, with a power capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, attacked Lin Hanzhou simultaneously!

……

Faced with this deadly situation that could make any seventh-tier expert despair, they were in a hopeless predicament.

Lin Hanzhou's handsome face showed no sign of panic, or even the slightest fear.

Instead, a cold laugh filled with mockery and disdain appeared.

"this one?"

He slowly raised his head, and a chilling glint flashed in his deep eyes.

"Ten peak seventh-tier fighters think they can kill me?"

"Don't you guys think too highly of yourselves?"

"boom--!!!"

The next moment, a vast power of the world erupted from Lin Hanzhou's body.

The immense power of the world condensed into a transparent layer of [World Armor] on Lin Hanzhou's body.

This protective layer, the Armor of the World, is only a thin layer, but the terrifying power it contains is enough to make any attack below the eighth rank pale in comparison.

Protected by the [Armor of the World], Lin Hanzhou not only did not retreat, but instead transformed into a streak of light, actively facing the ten black figures that attacked him.

Upon seeing this scene, the ten black-robed cultivators, who had previously exuded murderous intent, all showed expressions of astonishment on their faces beneath their masks.

They have carried out countless assassination missions and seen countless prey struggling in desperate situations.

Some begged for mercy, some ran away, and some made threats...

But this guy in front of me, facing an attack from ten times his strength of equal power, not only did he not dodge or avoid, but he also dared to charge forward like a brute after simply activating the power of the world to protect himself.

This was truly their first time seeing each other.

"Is this guy crazy?"

"Or does he really have some kind of advantage that we don't know about?!"

"Hmph! Who cares what he has to rely on! Before absolute power, he's just a mayfly trying to shake a tree."

The leader, a man in black robes, flashed a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"With ten of us at the peak of the seventh rank joining forces, how could we possibly lose to him?"

"Ten against one! The advantage is in my hands!"

"Kill him!"

With this blind confidence, the ten people no longer hesitated. The magical treasures in their hands burst forth with the most dazzling light and slammed into the charging figure.

Just as the two sides were about to collide.

Lin Hanzhou's figure suddenly blurred and instantly appeared in front of one of the men in black robes.

He didn't use any fancy moves; he simply threw a punch.

"Great Sun God Fist!"

"boom--!"

A blazing golden sun, hotter than the sun itself, suddenly burst forth on his fist.

The chosen man in black robes felt a blur before his eyes, and then a terrifying heat wave, enough to burn his soul to ashes, rushed towards him.

"not good!"

He was terrified and instinctively wanted to retreat and defend himself.
