Chapter 272 System Upgrade

Perhaps Han Li was too unwilling to give up, and he really tried his best to resist the swallowing of the Martial Emperor.

However, his strength was not as good as the Martial Emperor after all, and the spiritual power in his body was drained away, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

However, Han Li was stronger than King Xia and King Long, so he could resist for a longer time.

Time was passing by every second, and Han Xu had never felt that time was passing so slowly as it was now.

Seeing that Han Xu and King Wei were standing still, the Martial Emperor thought that they were because of insufficient spiritual power and wanted to take advantage of the time when he was dealing with Han Li to adjust their breath.

So, he showed a disdainful smile on his face.

Adjust their breath?

No matter how they adjusted their breath, even if they fought at the peak state, the Martial Emperor didn't care.

Although he was only a half-saint and had not completely entered the holy realm, he had already touched the word "saint" after all, and the spiritual power in his body had been transformed into the holy spirit power unique to the holy realm beyond the general.

The most different thing about the Saint Realm from the Transcendent Realm is that the words come true, and the spiritual power already contains one's own understanding of the Tao. Such spiritual power has changed in an essential sense compared to the Transcendent Realm and is more condensed.

The Transcendent spiritual power exists in the form of gas in the body, and after the Saint Realm, the spiritual power is condensed like cream.

Therefore, even if the Dantian is of the same size, the spiritual power that the Saint Realm strong can accommodate is a hundred times more than that of the Transcendent strong.

In addition, even if the spiritual power is of the same level, the Saint Realm spiritual power contains the understanding and will of the cultivator, and its power is also overwhelming the spiritual power of the Transcendent strong.

Combined with the two, the Transcendent strong has no room to fight back in the hands of the Saint Realm strong.

Even if Han Xu's spiritual power is far superior to other Transcendents, it still cannot cross the huge gap between the Saint Realm and the Transcendent.

As time passed, Han Li's skin became dry, and Han Xu could feel his vitality fading away with his spiritual power.

In response, the Emperor Wu's momentum was rising. A sacred light appeared near his body, and even the giant Kun turned into a translucent golden color.

From beginning to end, Han Li did not beg for mercy, and did not even cry out in pain.

He kept clenching his teeth and resisting all the time. He was the King of the North. Even if he died, he had to die heroically.

"Han Li, you are brave and resourceful. I admire you very much. If you beg for mercy, I may be able to spare your life." The Emperor Wu said in a condescending tone.

"I am Han Li."

"No one in this world is qualified."

"You can make me, Han Li, beg for mercy."

Han Li even had a hard time speaking, but he still did not give in.

In the spiritual power cage, Luo Ling watched all this. Han Li was the culprit who caused her family to be destroyed, and he wanted to use her to achieve his ambitions.

Luo Ling had already repaid all the kindness of raising her, so all she had left for Han Li was hatred.

Han Li's death at the hands of the Martial Emperor can be regarded as indirectly solving a problem for Luo Ling.

No matter how bad Han Li is, he is Han Xu's biological father. If Luo Ling wants to kill him in the future, she really doesn't know whether she should do it.

Although he didn't kill his enemy, Han Li also got the retribution he deserved.

He spent his whole life planning to become the master of the world, using everything he could use and calculating everything he could calculate, but in the end he died at the hands of the person he wanted to overthrow, which can be regarded as a cause and effect cycle.

King Wei said to Han Xu: "Han Xu, although you pushed Han Li over to save me, after the Martial Emperor refines his spiritual power, his strength will definitely be improved. What can you do?"

For some reason, after a series of events, King Wei developed an inexplicable trust in Han Xu. Even in this seemingly desperate environment, he believed that Han Xu still had a trump card to turn the tables.

Han Xu said in a voice transmission: "I want to take a gamble, Uncle Wei, please promise me one thing."

"You say."

"I will break the seal of the palace later, and then you take Luo Ling away from here. No matter what happens, don't worry about me."

"You..." King Wei guessed Han Xu's intention. He was clearly determined to die, just like King Wei burned his blood to save Han Xu before.

Han Xu also wanted to use a similar method to open a way out for Luo Ling and King Wei.

"Han Xu, I don't allow you to do this." King Wei said.

"Uncle Wei, if Luo Ling dies, I won't live alone." Han Xu didn't wait for King Wei to speak, and continued, "Uncle Wei, don't worry, I won't joke with my life. If I guess correctly, without your power, the Martial Emperor can't reach the real holy realm. Instead, you two here will become a burden to me."

King Wei was speechless. He was a peak strong man who had achieved the unity of heaven and man, but he became a burden to others.

Han Xu continued, "Once the seal is broken, you will take Luo Ling away and go to Wanhua Pavilion to join the Suzaku Army. My three maids are also there. Take them with you. Don't look back. Hurry up."

"Okay, then we will go to the southern border."

"No, you can't go to the southern border. Go north. Go to the northern border. I will send someone to pick you up. Also, Uncle Wei, please notify Wei Zhan and the others to go to the northern border."

Han Xu has already thought of a way out for King Wei. Just as King Wei thought, even if the system is upgraded, Han Xu is not sure that he can kill Emperor Wu. As long as Emperor Wu is not dead, he will definitely hunt down King Wei, so King Wei must not go to the southern border.

King Wei soon understood Han Xu's concerns, nodded, and then seized the last opportunity to start regulating his breathing, so that the blood vessels that had just burned were in a mess, and there was not much strength left.

Seeing that Han Li was about to run out of energy, Han Xu looked at Luo Ling for the last time and said, "Are you afraid?"

"With you here, I'm not afraid." Luo Ling said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we will be fine." Han Xu said, looking deeply at Luo Ling, waiting for the system to complete the download of the last skill point.

Behind him, Han Li's spiritual power was drained, and the Martial Emperor let him go and slowly flew towards Han Xu.

The giant Kun under his feet had completely turned golden. He stood on the top of the giant Kun, and endless spiritual energy gathered towards him and surrounded him.

"As the saying goes, one can become a saint after transcending the ordinary." Emperor Wu said as he flew over, "When I step into the holy realm, I will not forget your sacrifice, especially you, Han Xu."

"You have given me too many surprises. If it weren't for you this time, my path to becoming a saint would not be so smooth."

"Are you so confident that you can become a saint?" Han Xu tried to delay a little bit of time, he said, "Maybe you will be disappointed in the end."

"If I say yes, then it must be yes." Emperor Wu stopped a hundred meters in front of Han Xu. He was too interested in Han Xu's secret. If it wasn't for achieving the holy realm, Emperor Wu would not have been willing to kill him.

So, he wanted to take advantage of this last bit of time to remember this young genius.

If he knew what happened in the blink of an eye and was given another chance, he would not hesitate to kill Han Xu with all his strength.

Because in the blink of an eye, Han Xu heard the prompt from the system.

"The download of the extraordinary skill Misty Steps has been completed. Currently, ten extraordinary skills have been downloaded, meeting the system upgrade conditions. Ask the host whether to upgrade the system?"

"Confirm to upgrade." Han Xu gave the order without hesitation.
