C1484 Struggle
There was an obvious gap between the Sixth Prince and Wu Anbang, so he was at a disadvantage within a moment, and could only dodge.
In the end, in order to not be chased out of the secret realm, he could only escape outside the great hall.
The moment he left the hall, Wu Anbang did not continue to chase after him.
As for the other six, the Fourth Prince, Lin Guanghan, and the Fifth Prince all had the upper hand.
Of course, Luo Sheng and the Fifth Prince's strength were similar, but the Fifth Prince's identity was already there. Although Luo Sheng had sided with the First Prince Wu Anbang, he did not want to offend the Fifth Prince.
When he didn't dare to guarantee that he would win in the end, he chose to surrender.
Just like this, the last four people to be decided were Wu Anbang, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince and Lin Guanghan.
It was not unexpected for such a situation to occur. After all, princes were favored by the heavens. If the emperor were to place his resources on them, their strength would completely surpass those of the same age.
After that, Wu Anbang chose the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince chose Lin Guanghan.
"Fifth Prince, you've offended me. Although I admire you, for the sake of this martial skill, I won't choose to surrender." Lin Guanghan looked at the Fifth Prince and said.
He naturally missed this martial skill. After all, this martial skill had appeared in such a mystic realm.
"Guang Han, no need to be courteous. Everyone is relying on their strength now, there's no difference between the commoners and the princes." The Fifth Prince smiled indifferently.
It was not that he was open-minded, but because Lin Guanghan had Wu Anbang backing him. Furthermore, Lin Guanghan's strength had earned his father's recognition.
After saying this, the two began to fight.
On the other side, Wu Anbang and the Fourth Prince, who were well aware of the situation, didn't waste any words and directly started to fight.
The fourth prince was naturally not Wu Anbang's match, and was soon knocked to the ground by Wu Anbang. Under this helplessness, the fourth prince could only declare his defeat.
Lin Guanghan and the Fifth Prince were matched up against each other, and after fighting for a while longer, Lin Guanghan gained the upper hand. After all, he was only second to Wu Anbang in terms of age, so how could the Fifth Prince be his match?
After a short while, the Fifth Prince knew that it was impossible for him to obtain victory, so he could only surrender.
And just like that, only Lin Guanghan and Wu Anbang remained in the center of the hall.
Just when everyone didn't know whether the two were going to shake hands or fight, an accident occurred. All they could hear was a loud bang above their heads.
After that, a large hole was pierced through the ceiling of the hall. A white ape descended from the sky; it was the white ape from before.
Other than it, there were also twenty or so third-level vicious beasts. These vicious beasts entered in a line, creating a spectacular scene.
It seemed that the white ape had gone to gather the riders for its revenge.
Before they could regain their wits, these vicious beasts had already pounced towards them.
The white ape pounced towards Wu Anbang, who was the closest to him.
It was at this moment that the crowd discovered that the secret manual that was originally floating in the air had suddenly fallen to the ground.
Seeing that, Lin Guanghan who was closest to him immediately shot towards the secret manual without hesitation.
It was not that it was disrespectful to Wu Anbang, because if he did not go over, it was very likely that others would take advantage of the chaos and get their hands on him.
There were two third-level vicious beasts blocking his way, but they were immediately dodged by him.
Soon, he arrived in front of the secret manual. With a stretch of his hand, he grabbed it. The secret manual that everyone here wanted fell into his hands.
The moment he touched it, he heard a sound of wind coming from behind him. His body moved and quickly dodged. Taking advantage of this time to turn around, he couldn't help but be startled. The one attacking him was the fourth level ferocious beast, the white ape.
As for Wu Anbang who was fighting against the white ape just now, he was obviously sent flying by the white ape's slap.
He knew that he wasn't a match for the white ape, so Lin Guanghan quickly ran out of the hall.
At this time, a lot of people had already run out from the palace. After all, there were so many vicious beasts, and there was even a rank 4 vicious beast. It was simply too dangerous.
Lin Guanghan dared to run out, and the white ape also rushed out while roaring.
It was obvious that the white ape was after him, because even if he had someone else by his side, the white ape wouldn't even look at him.
Could it be that the white ape had taken a fancy to this secret scripture? Lin Guanghan was extremely suspicious.
However, since he had already obtained the manual, how could he possibly give it away? Thus, he used all his strength to quickly rush forward.
What made him depressed was that the white ape was following closely behind him. Although it was no longer in a berserk state, its speed was still comparable to his.
Fortunately, as time passed, the white ape slowly distanced itself. After the time it took to make a cup of tea, he finally left the white ape without a trace.
Afraid that the white ape would still be able to catch up, he ran for a while longer before stopping.
At this moment, there was no one else by his side.
There was no one around and there were no ferocious beasts. He just sat down and took out a Qi Pills and swallowed it.
However, his face revealed a trace of surprise as soon as he swallowed it, because he didn't know when there was such a person standing in front of him.
This person had a bandana covering his face, making it so that he didn't even know who he was.
"Who are you? How did you come?" Lin Guanghan frowned.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even say anything and directly attacked him with his sword.
Lin Guanghan quickly brandished the rune sword in his hand, and the two of them started to fight.
After just a few moves, Lin Guanghan's face had changed, he realised that his opponent's sword techniques were unpredictable, and he looked very familiar, it was obviously the royal family's Wu Lin sword technique.
"Who are you?" He couldn't help but exclaim.
Because in this secret realm, the only people who could use Wu Lin's sword technique were the princes.
However, his opponent still remained silent. Not only that, the sword techniques in his hands grew even sharper.
After another two moves, his opponent's sword pierced into his arm.
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream, Lin Guanghan was struck and forced to continuously retreat, the rune sword on his body also fell to the ground.
After that, the other person's body moved, and they arrived in front of him as if they were gangrenous of the bones.
Lin Guanghan quickly struck out with his palm, only that halfway through, the opponent's sword qi had already struck his body.
With a muffled sound, he was directly sent flying.
When he sat up, the rune sword in his hand was already pointing at his throat.
"You … you're the First Prince?" Lin Guanghan could not help but ask.
From his point of view, there should be no one other than the First Prince who could use Wu Lin's sword techniques to such an extent and cause him to be unable to fight back at all.
It was precisely because of this that he said such words.
The other party still did not reply him, and other than that, the rune sword in his hand suddenly attacked him.
He could not avoid it and was heavily smacked on the head by the rune sword's sword, causing him to faint on the spot.
The person who knocked Lin Guanghan out was naturally Lin Long, he was unable to snatch the secret scripture from the hall previously.
Originally, they had wanted to wait for Lin Guanghan and the others to leave the great hall to see if there was a chance they could make a move.
Everything that happened after was naturally what he wanted, and with his power, it was not difficult for him to catch up and knock Lin Guanghan out.
After knocking Lin Guanghan out, Lin Long took his dimensional stone and took the secret manual inside it before he left the place.
The reason he did not kill Lin Guanghan was naturally because he was afraid that they would investigate him thoroughly, and leaving Lin Guanghan alone would have some benefits, which was that Lin Guanghan would probably tell them that he was using Wu Lin's sword skills. At that time, the suspect would definitely be the princes' bodies.
As for him, he was completely at ease.
After taking the manual, Lin Long did not look at it closely, but kept it properly before he headed directly for the closest jade tablet.
It was the best time to enter the second level of the secret realm while everyone else's attention was focused on the white ape.
Very quickly, he arrived in front of a jade tablet, and turned his head to look at his surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, Lin Long started to recite a strange phrase using runes.
Naturally, these runes were formed after he had sorted out the runes on the three jade tablets.
After reciting for a while, Lin Long could feel the runes on the jade tablet in front of him flashing.
After around a dozen breaths, Lin Long, who felt that he could make a move, once again spilled the Fourth Prince's blood.
The moment the fresh blood touched the jade tablet, the entire tablet seemed as though it was going to boil over with blood.
However, this situation was not shown on the surface, and only Lin Long who was close to the jade pendant could sense it.
Otherwise, this situation would have definitely attracted the attention of the people from the secret realm.
After a few more breaths of time, Lin Long discovered that a strong suction force suddenly appeared on the jade monument, directly pulling him over.
When he came back to his senses, he found himself in another place.
This place was still in the forest, but it was clearly not the place where the jade tablets were located.
Is this the lower level of the mystic realm? Lin Long was a little doubtful.
Carefully observing his surroundings, Lin Long walked forward.
At the same time, the unconscious Lin Guanghan let out a blood-curdling scream, and woke up from his slumber.
The moment he woke up, he noticed that a fierce beast was holding onto his bloody palm.
It was obvious that while he was unconscious, the fierce beast had run to his side and bitten off his left hand.
Lin Guanghan was furious at this moment, if it was not for the man just now, how could he have had his palm bitten off by a Level 1 Ferocious Beast?
"Die!" With a furious roar, Lin Guanghan directly struck his palm towards the first level fierce beast in front of him.
"Bam!"
A muffled sound rang out as the beast was sent flying by his palm and then died.
After he attacked the vicious beast, he shifted his gaze back to himself. When he moved his gaze back to the beast, he couldn't help but let out a furious roar.
Because his left hand was gone.
Gritting his teeth, he quickly swallowed a healing pellet and used a piece of cloth to tie up his wound.
It was also at this time that a sound of movement came from the right in front of him. Very quickly, three people appeared in front of him, and one of them was precisely Wu Anbang.
"GuangHan, what happened to you?" Seeing Lin Guanghan's bloody hands, Wu Anbang and the other two couldn't help but cry out.
"My hand was accidentally bitten off by a first-level vicious beast." Lin Guanghan said with a gloomy face.
He felt that the person who attacked him just now should be Wu Anbang. The reason why Wu Anbang did that should be because he wanted to steal the secret scripture away from him without any warning.
However, how could he dare to say such words at this time?
"How is this possible? How could a rank 1 vicious beast bite off your palm?" Wu Anbang frowned.
"I was caught up by the white ape earlier, and it sent me flying with a slap. Then I fainted. When I woke up, I found a rank 1 vicious beast had bitten my palm off." Lin Guanghan said.
"So it's like that." Hearing Lin Guanghan's words, Wu Anbang and the others could not help but exclaimed.
"GuangHan, do you plan to stay in the secret realm or go out?" Wu Anbang asked.
"Just leave." Lin Guanghan said.
He didn't feel safe staying by Wu Anbang's side, so he naturally had to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want the other party to make any more movements in the dark.
"Mm, then you can leave. You're already injured, it's better for you to protect yourself." Wu Anbang nodded.
"Then I'll go out first." Lin Guanghan said.
Although he said that, he was cursing Wu Anbang in his heart.
"Guang Han, don't worry. I will take more energy stones. At that time, you will still have a chance to enter the top five." Wu Anbang said.
After that, Lin Guanghan started to recite the terms of the runes.
However, he was not able to finish reciting the terms of the runes in silence, because at this time, Wu Anbang who had thought of something asked, "Guang Han, where is the secret scripture on you?"
Hearing Wu Anbang talking about secret scriptures, Lin Guanghan finally remembered that he had a book and quickly checked his own dimensional stone.
After taking a look at it, his expression changed greatly, because there was no longer any secret manual inside.
"Guang Han, what's going on?" Seeing Lin Guanghan's strange expression, Wu Anbang hurriedly asked.
"The secret scripture is gone." Lin Guanghan said with an ugly expression.
"He disappeared? How is that possible?" Wu Anbang could not help but be shocked.
What are you pretending for, there's a high chance that you were the one who took it, Lin Guanghan criticized in his heart.
However, he said, "First Prince, why don't you take a look at my Spatial Stone? There's no such secret manual in it."
Wu Anbang, whose face was somewhat gloomy, took the dimensional stone. After taking a look at it, his expression became even more unsightly, because the secret manual was indeed not inside.
This Lin Guanghan couldn't have been hiding by himself right? Such a thought flashed across Wu Anbang's mind.
But when he thought about it again, he felt that it was wrong, because if Lin Guanghan wanted to hide it, he wouldn't pay such a huge price.2
Was that someone taking advantage of his unconsciousness to get close to him and snatch the item away?
He immediately shook his head again, because when Lin Guanghan ran out, he had been staring fixedly in that direction for a long time, and had not seen anyone able to catch up to Lin Guanghan at that time.
Or perhaps, when no one approached the great hall before, they discovered that Lin Guanghan had fled here, they also rushed over, and then they killed Lin Guanghan and took the secret scripture from the spatial stone.
Wu Anbang had so many thoughts running through his mind, but he didn't know if these thoughts were right or wrong.
"Alright, you can leave now." Wu Anbang said.
After saying that, Lin Guanghan then started to mutter the words to leave the rune. Then, his figure impressively disappeared from his original location.
