Chapter 797: Chapter 734: One-Strike Ambush
Qu Shu finally stepped down from the competition field.
After two rounds of the Tianjiao tournament, only a little over fifty people remained.
In this second round, many favored young talents had already faced each other, resulting in one being eliminated.
After a brief rest, the third round would begin.
The competition flow of the Tianjiao tournament was very tight, and those who exhausted themselves too much in the previous round would feel drained in the next one.
After exchanging blows with Qu Shu, Shen Han could sense that You Wanying seemed much more relaxed.
Her mood lifted a bit, and she acted much more carefree.
While she relaxed, Shen Han became much more serious.
Perhaps, the opportunity was fast approaching.
On the side of Tiger Peak Manor, there was only one person left after being eliminated.
But for a sect of Tiger Peak Manor’s scale, this result was already commendable.
Everyone knew that Tiger Peak Manor excelled in using Poison Skill.
But in the Tianjiao tournament, a friendly competition like this, techniques like Poison Skill definitely couldn’t be used.
So, everyone was aware that the true strength of Tiger Peak Manor’s disciples was far greater than what was displayed today.
Even if someone won against Tiger Peak Manor in the competition, no one would dare belittle them.
Shen Han had already begun to prepare.
When the only disciple from Tiger Peak Manor made a move, that would be the moment to make the assassination attempt!
Thinking of this, Shen Han tried to approach.
Many attendants were moving back and forth, serving tea and water to others.
Shen Han’s movement didn’t attract any attention from others.
He gradually moved to the area behind You Wanying, which should be a great opportunity for assassination.
If it weren’t for this Tianjiao tournament, it would have been very difficult to have the chance to stand behind a strong person of the Illusion Realm.
In the competition field, Qu Shu had stepped in again to participate in this third round.
In matches with her peers, she had the momentum to turn the tide single-handedly.
Opponents in front of her seemed to be just like she was in front of You Wanying.
The surrounding crowd also felt that the words of Wanhe Palace’s Grand Elder were true.
There must have been some reason why You Wanying let Shen Han go.
Perhaps Shen Han’s strength was comparable to Qu Shu’s, or maybe even inferior to hers.
The surrounding people chatted, taking this as something amusing to discuss.
The confrontation between Shen Han and You Wanying was actually witnessed by many spies.
They saw Shen Han’s strength with their own eyes.
But the Southern Heaven Continent was huge, and most sects only heard of things second-handedly.
In their view, even if Shen Han escaped, it was likely just an accident.
After Qu Shu won the match, she did not linger and immediately stepped down.
She still had a knot in her heart, always there.
Qu Shu knew that Shen Han was different from others, and it would be difficult to have a chance to face him.
After all, with You Wanying as an enemy, Shen Han wouldn’t easily show up; it wasn’t a matter of wanting to challenge and being able to.
While waiting, the disciple of Tiger Peak Manor went up.
As a leading Elder, You Wanying’s attention naturally fell on her own disciple.
Shen Han also began to focus; this was an excellent opportunity.
His strength still had a distance compared to You Wanying’s.
But in this position, Shen Han was confident he could harm her.
Just one strike, If he could wound her, the assassination would be deemed successful.
Wounding her once, later on, You Wanying would never dare to be so careless again.
Of course, Shen Han also knew he only had one chance.
No matter the outcome of the strike, he needed to flee immediately.
Although there were many experts present, these experts didn’t have much of a relationship with You Wanying.
By attacking her, these experts would naturally observe.
These influential experts usually act very cautiously, rarely impulsively.
Shen Han wasn’t targeting them; without clear reasons, they wouldn’t intervene.
With so many experts, ironically, it presented a situation of being hidden under a lamp.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Shen Han meticulously searched for the opportunity.
In the competition field, Tiger Peak Manor’s disciple was already exchanging blows with an opponent.
You Wanying’s gaze fell on the competition field, likely thinking she could give her disciple some pointers later.
Suddenly, a longsword appeared in Shen Han’s hand.
A sharp aura burst forth instantly.
Shen Han opted not to choose the Poison Sword; wounding You Wanying with it would undoubtedly cause greater harm.
But the Poison Sword wasn’t as agile and nimble as the Longsword at Hand.
After one strike, he needed to flee immediately, without any delay.
The Poison Sword might yield greater benefits, but it wasn’t reliable enough.
In an instant, Shen Han acted.
A burst of aura erupted; there was no turning back now.
Shen Han’s fierce aura surged out, and simultaneously, the longsword in his hand was thrust toward You Wanying.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth’s Momentum was also swallowed by the Spirit Devouring Mirror, weakening You Wanying’s possible counterattacks.
The sudden and fierce aura took the strong ones present by surprise, unsure of what transpired.
Amid their astonishment, Shen Han’s sword edge arrived.
It was at this moment that You Wanying realized.
She was being assassinated!
Her figure instantly tried to evade and began to counterattack.
But the surrounding Heaven and Earth’s Momentum had already weakened, and since she was engrossed in watching the match, she reacted a bit too late.
The edge of the sword cut through, and her side was instantly soaked with blood...
The sound of the sword slicing through air seemed like it would break through the heavens.
The young Tianjiao in the competition also couldn’t help but pause.
With one strike, Shen Han didn’t stop at all, leaping away.
His figure was misty, even causing strong ones in the Illusion Realm to marvel at the swiftness of this Body Technique.
