Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han didn't continue killing; he needed to recover his strength to maintain peak condition for the arduous battles ahead.

After entering the twelfth peak, he found a hidden thicket and used Earth Penetration,潜入地底. He tunneled hundreds of meters underground and dug out a huge cave where he sat down to meditate and rest.

This place was extremely safe. Even if someone discovered the cave, who would dare to enter and pursue him? Any movement inside the cave would alert him, allowing him to easily counterattack or escape.

Jiang Han took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket, opened his water skin, and slowly chewed as he pondered something.

At this moment, the area between the eleventh and twelfth peaks was swarming with people.

Not only had Jiang Long and the others arrived, but nearly a hundred foreign martial artists had also come. The five individuals who had been intimidated by Jiang Han earlier relayed what they had seen and Jiang Han's words.

Some people looked at the corpses of Shi You and the others, their eyes flickering, and a desire to retreat arose in their hearts.

However, more people began searching the twelfth peak. They didn't believe that Jiang Han could defy the heavens under such a massive encirclement. Even if he was at the fifth or sixth level of the Purple Mansion Realm, let alone only, he wouldn't be a match for so many people even if he reached the ninth level.

But…

A group of people quickly searched the twelfth, thirteenth, and even fourteenth peaks, but they couldn't find even a shadow of Jiang Han.

Jiang Han had vanished as if into thin air, without a trace.

…

Du Family Town, Good Fortune Gambling House.

This was the largest gambling house within a hundred miles, a Du Family property. It had been open for decades, with the best reputation and the best business.

Today, the Du Family Gambling House was packed, but they were indifferent to the other games, all waiting for news.

Waiting for news of Jiang Han's death!

Many gamblers had bet on Jiang Han's death today, while many others bet on Jiang Han's ability to persevere. They needed to obtain the latest news here and await the final result.

Flap flap!

A carrier pigeon flew into the room, and countless people in the gambling hall stood up abruptly, staring intently at the pigeon. Good Fortune Gambling House had sent five people to the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range, not to pursue Jiang Han, but to transmit news back as quickly as possible.

A manager grabbed the pigeon, took out the letter from its leg, and read it aloud: "Jiang Han appeared on Hundred Ghost Peak, killing Shi You, Shi Qiang, Shi Yun, and Shi Qi before escaping. Currently, the search party has not discovered Jiang Han's whereabouts."

Wow!

The entire place erupted. Countless people cursed, while many others were excited, unable to resist cheering for Jiang Han. Those cursing Jiang Han were naturally the gamblers who had bet on Jiang Han's death today, while those cheering for Jiang Han were undoubtedly those who had bet on Jiang Han's ability to survive longer.

Immediately afterward, the hall began to buzz with discussion.

Shi You and the others were barely considered prominent figures in the nearby villages and towns, yet they were swept away by Jiang Han alone? Everyone began to speculate about Jiang Han's true combat strength.

Previously, when the Jiang family members were killed, everyone didn't pay much attention, assuming that the Jiang family was exaggerating, deliberately raising Jiang Han's combat strength to cover up their incompetence.

Some suspected that Jiang Han was practicing demonic arts, while others said that Jiang HenShui had left Jiang Han some peerless secret techniques, allowing Jiang Han's combat strength to soar.

However, most people in the hall believed that Jiang Han wouldn't live long. Now that he had appeared, how could he escape under the pursuit of more than a hundred people?

Everyone discussed while continuing to wait.

Time passed as everyone waited anxiously. An hour later, a carrier pigeon flew back again, bringing back the latest battle report from the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range.

The gambling house manager opened the letter amidst everyone's anticipation. He scanned it, his face filled with disbelief.

Under everyone's urging, he read: "Jiang Han appeared on Dragon Tooth Peak,斩杀刘家村三人, and two members of the Jiang clan's hunting team, and disappeared again."

More than a hundred people besieged Jiang Han, but not only did they fail to kill Jiang Han, but Jiang Han killed five more people.

This news felt a bit fake, and even the gambling house manager couldn't believe it.

In the hall, countless people voiced their doubts, and many cursed.

Another hour passed.

A carrier pigeon flew in. This time, a gambler took matters into his own hands, instantly grabbing the pigeon and taking out the message. He only glanced at it before roaring angrily: "Fake, fake! Impossible, this is impossible. How could a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator be so strong? Divine power? Purple Mansion Realm cultivators can awaken divine powers? I don't believe it!"

The manager snatched the letter and read it aloud: "Jiang Han appeared on Heavenly Platform Peak, killing Guan Lu, Guan Qiao, and Guan Xing, along with three people from Ma Family Village, then quickly disappeared. It is suspected that he has mastered some kind of earth遁地神通, coming and going without a trace. In addition, he may also have mastered a strange divine power that allows him to flicker and teleport, which is very conducive to sneak attacks…"

This time, no one in the audience spoke. Everyone looked at each other in silence. After a moment, the hall suddenly became noisy.

Most people suspected the authenticity of this news. Even those who bet that Jiang Han could last a few more days were skeptical. After all, the awakening of divine powers in the Purple Mansion Realm was unheard of, let alone the awakening of two divine powers.

The problem was…

With such a major event, the people transmitting the news from the gambling house couldn't lie. The news could be easily verified. The names of the people killed on the letter were written specifically, so how could this be fake?

The news in the gambling house spread quickly. Countless people in Du Family Town received the news, and the entire Du Family Town was shaken. Many people flocked to the gambling house, crowding it inside and out, all to verify the authenticity of the news and wait for subsequent news.

Night gradually fell.

News came back again that Jiang Han had killed four more people, three of whom were members of the Jiang clan's hunting team. Now, no one doubted the authenticity of the news anymore.

Everyone was shocked and suspicious. How could Jiang Han awaken divine powers in the Purple Mansion Realm? This completely exceeded everyone's understanding.

When it was completely dark, seven or eight martial artists returned from the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range. They were the Du family martial artists who went to pursue Jiang Han. They brought back accurate news, which made the entire Du Family Town boil.

"Jiang Han is not human. He must have practiced demonic arts! He's crazy; he kills anyone he sees!"

"Jiang Han can travel underground,出没无常. No one dares to go underground to chase him, but he can easily reach any place from underground. He also has the divine power of teleportation. His strength is comparable to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm. No one is his match in one move under a sneak attack…"

"The people from the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range have all come down. Staying in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range will be killed by Jiang Han one by one. He is too strong; no one in the Purple Mansion Realm can敌 in the wild!"

"Unless a Profound Origin Realm expert takes action, going to chase him in the Purple Mansion Realm is just courting death. Jiang Han is too ruthless. He kills people as easily as killing chickens, one knife at a time!"

Not only Du Family Town, but also nearby Guan Family Town, Wang Family Town, and other places all received the news.

In every large town, every village, countless people gathered together. Some were talking about the battle in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range today, some were guessing whether Jiang Han had awakened his bloodline divine powers, and some were discussing whether to continue to pursue Jiang Han tomorrow…

That night, Jiang Han's name resounded throughout dozens of villages and towns, nineteen people slaughtered in one day.

The Jiang clan's young man became famous in one battle!
