Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 253: Chapter 251 The Reason for Letting In

Everyone longed for the Dragon Blood, but among these people, Ye Longhe was the most decisive in his actions.

He knew that if he missed this opportunity being helped by Su Han, he might really have no fate with the Dragon Blood.

“Whoosh!”

Ye Longhe’s figure directly passed through the red Light Barrier and stood next to Su Han.

“Thank you, Brother Liang,” Ye Longhe said with gratitude.

“No need.”

Su Han said indifferently, giving Ye Longhe a meaningful glance.

Ye Longhe found this look somewhat complicated, and he couldn’t figure it out.

“Five seconds left,” Su Han said again.

Gui Qingtian and the others suddenly became anxious; they feared that Su Han might pull some trick with the Light Barrier, as they were now enemies. If it weren’t for the Dragon Blood, they would probably have come to blows already.

If Su Han really took this opportunity to attack, they would be completely powerless to resist, and that Flame could easily burn them to death.

“Four seconds.”

“Three seconds.”

Listening to Su Han counting down the seconds like the call of a death god, the many geniuses were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

“Forget it, I don’t care anymore!”

Finally, Gui Qingtian hardened his heart and, gritting his teeth, also headed straight for the Light Barrier.

“Swoosh!”

His figure directly passed the Light Barrier, and at the moment of crossing, his heart completely rose up, casting all his defenses, as if he feared that Su Han would seal the Light Barrier at the crucial moment.

However, he was truly judging others by his own measure.

Su Han didn’t make any unusual moves; he remained calm even after Gui Qingtian had passed.

“Aren’t you going to thank Brother Liang?” Ye Longhe frowned and said.

Gui Qingtian glanced at Su Han, but instead of expressing gratitude, he let out a cold snort.

He always felt that Su Han wouldn’t do such a good deed for no reason. If they were friends it would be another matter, but in reality, they were still enemies.

Seeing Gui Qingtian had gone through, the rest of the people, including Mo Jiuyou, also hesitated no longer, crossing the Light Barrier one after another.

In the end, there were a few who wanted to rush in, but Su Han withdrew his hand.

“Whoosh!”

The red Light Barrier surged up again, the entrance disappeared, and the few could only watch helplessly as they were blocked outside.

“Let us in!” someone shouted urgently.

“Time’s up.”

Su Han said indifferently, “I told you, I was only giving you ten seconds. For the remaining two Light Barriers, anyone who hesitates will end up isolated just like you.”

“You!”

Those few were furious and filled with regret at the same time.

If they had known it would come to this, why bother worrying about life and death? They should have charged through with Mo Jiuyou and the others.

For the next two Light Barriers, Su Han still casually passed through.

And each time he passed through one, he would once again create an opening for people like Mo Jiuyou and Ye Longhe.

The latter didn’t hesitate; they were now between the three Light Barriers, and if they hesitated at this point, unable to go out or in, they might have to stay there for the rest of their lives.

Soon, all three Light Barriers had been passed through.

“Hum~”

At the moment of passing through, a humming suddenly rose in everyone’s minds, followed by a dragon’s roar echoing ceaselessly.

“Dragon Blood…”

Mo Jiuyou’s eyes shone brilliantly—Dragon Blood was now within arm’s reach. Without any hesitation, he charged straight for the Dragon Blood.

Gui Qingtian did the same, afraid of falling behind to someone quicker.

One after another, figures swiftly dashed out, except for Su Han, who remained calmly standing in place.

Even Ye Longhe, though puzzled as to why Su Han did not move, could not resist the temptation of the Dragon Blood and followed the others in the charge.

“You think obtaining Dragon Blood is that simple?” Su Han shook his head slightly.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

At that moment, three figures suddenly burst forth, the sound of tearing through the air reverberating nonstop as three black streaks ripped through the void.

It was those three Mercury Illusions!

“Boom!”

As the Mercury Illusions burst out, they immediately launched their attack.

A skyful of silver-white light descended from above everyone’s heads, and though the light seemed to lack any attack power, the terrifying pressure it exuded made everyone’s face change instantly.

A describable sense of crisis rose in their hearts.

Mo Jiuyou and Gui Qingtian were extremely close to the Jade Bottle, seemingly just a hand’s reach away.

But it was in that moment their sense of crisis peaked, as if a voice was telling them, retreat now and you may live, step forward and you may grasp the Jade Bottle and obtain the Dragon Blood, but you will certainly die!

“Retreat!”

In the nick of time, the two of them made the right choice.

If life itself was lost, what use would even Dragon Blood be?

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The instant everyone retreated, the silver-white light fell and directly blasted a bottomless crater into the ground.

“Hiss!”

All drew in a sharp breath of cold air. With such attack power, had it landed on any of them, they would likely have been instantaneously obliterated into nothingness.

“To obtain Dragon Blood, you can’t just snatch it like this,” Su Han’s voice came.

“As I said before, these three Mercury Illusions are terrifyingly powerful. To get the Dragon Blood, you need to block them simultaneously, only then can you have a chance.”

“If all of us block them, who goes for the Dragon Blood? Are the others supposed to help for nothing?” Mo Jiuyou frowned tightly.

“You see that red dot at the center of the Mercury Illusions’ foreheads?”

Su Han said, “That’s their weakest point. As long as you can hit it, although it will not kill them, it can weaken them for ten seconds, greatly reducing their power. Then, it will be the time to seize the Dragon Blood.”

“With your strength, we definitely can’t compete against you!” Gui Qingtian snorted coldly.

This was not a shameful admission; Su Han’s strength was evident for all to see. If they could not match him even in the Dragon God Realm, why deny it?

“I can hold one off. You all attack the other two.” Su Han said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, then fell silent.

“So that’s why you let us in. You had this calculation all along!”

Mo Jiuyou had an epiphany, saying, “If it were just you alone, you probably wouldn’t be a match for these three Mercury Illusions, right?”

“You guessed right,” Su Han said with a light laugh.

If it weren’t for needing these people to block the Mercury Illusions, why would Su Han have allowed them to come in?

It was a joke!

“What deep schemes you have!” Gui Qingtian also said.

Su Han’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, his voice suddenly growing cold.

“I’m giving you one chance. Do you want the Dragon Blood or not? If not, I’ll open the Light Barrier and you can leave now.”

No one spoke; all fell silent.

They had come this far, with the Dragon Blood so close within reach. To ask them to give up now?

Given the assertive nature of these geniuses, it clearly was impossible.
