Chapter 1020: Seizing Treasures

Just as the treasures were about to be taken away, green light flashed where the woman was standing. Suddenly, several green long snakes shot out from the ground, and after circling like lightning, they wrapped the woman up like a rice dumpling, and several snake mouths bit down fiercely with lightning speed.

"Bang" sounds rang out. It was unknown what kind of psychic magic treasure the woman was wearing, but without seeing her cast a spell, a layer of white light shield appeared on its own, bouncing the green snakes away and revealing their original form; they were actually several green vines.

At this, Madam Mu became both shocked and angry, just like Han Li.

She never expected that there would be an oriole following behind her. Her previous actions of trapping Han Li and taking the initiative to use a magic treasure to open the protective cover on the case table—weren't they all just making wedding clothes for someone else! Who was this person sneak-attacking her, and how could they follow so closely behind the Sun-Moon Shuttle without being discovered at all?

You must know that the reason she was able to sneak into this place without anyone knowing was entirely due to the silver token left behind by the three Mount Kunwu elders back then. This token could temporarily control part of the restrictions in the hall, allowing her to drive the Sun-Moon Shuttle from underground and run ahead of the other cultivators.

At this time, a harsh, ugly, strange laugh came out, followed by a green murky tall figure floating out silently from the nearby ground. A pair of cold green eyes swept coldly over Madam Mu, and the chill in the eyes made the woman shiver in her heart.

But once she focused and saw the green shadow's appearance clearly, her face changed greatly, and she exclaimed:

"Wood Kui! How can such a monster still exist in the human world!"

Although this green shadow had complete hands, feet, and head at first glance, looking somewhat like a person, its face and body were covered with pieces of tree bark-like things, making it look more like a walking monster tree.

And when Wood Kui heard Madam Mu shout this, a hint of mockery flashed in its eyes. Then, it ignored the woman completely, instead flickering its figure and transforming into a ball of green light, pouncing toward the case table.

It actually also wanted to take all those treasures into its own bag.

Madam Mu's heart sank. Even if she could break free, she would have no time to stop this monster.

But an incredible scene followed.

This Wood Kui, transformed into a ball of light, had not yet approached the case table when, from the debris of the "Three People Gazing at the Moon" painting that Han Li had slashed into pieces in front of the case table, spiritual light suddenly appeared, and then it spewed out three streams of yellow, white, and red light mist. As this light mist rolled over, it actually threw the green light away like a ball for over ten zhang.

As a result, the green light ball's light converged, revealing Wood Kui's stumbling figure.

This tall monster was actually unable to control itself, spinning in place several times before barely standing firm. But when it raised its head and looked at the light mist with its green eyes, it was full of indescribable panic.

And the three streams of light mist circled once on the case table, transforming into three blurry, foot-high small people. They were light and airy, but in appearance, they were clearly the Daoist, the Confucian scholar, and the monk from the "Three People Gazing at the Moon" painting earlier. Their six wooden gazes were all fixed on the Wood Kui in the distance, as if looking at a dead person.

"Three Mount Kunwu Elders!" Wood Kui let out an extremely terrified scream. Then, spiritual light flashed all over its body, and without thinking, it transformed into a green rainbow, shooting toward the Arctic Yuan Light direction, not even daring to look back.

However, the three small people simultaneously pointed their fingers at the small sword, the Demon-Subduing Staff, and the book scroll on the case table without saying a word.

The three treasures emitted a humming sound and jumped up. Then, after a tremor, they transformed into purple, yellow, and red streaks of light, shooting out and disappearing in the air in a flash. But the next moment, they appeared behind Wood Kui just as it was about to pounce into the many silver light threads, simultaneously converging and striking fiercely.

Wood Kui could not dodge at all!

With a heaven-shaking "boom," the three-colored light burst open, instantly submerging the green light. The emitted blinding light ball was like a scorching sun, making it impossible to look directly at it. But after the light converged, apart from the three treasures floating in place, there was nothing else left in the empty space.

This strike from the three treasures actually evaporated this Wood Kui, which looked terrifying, along with its body and primordial spirit, out of thin air.

At the same time, the bottom one of the four blood-red wooden plaques on the case table ignited on its own, turning into a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye.

And the three treasures flew back after destroying the monster, circling once and falling honestly back to their original positions on the case table. The three figures above blurred and collapsed, disappearing. From beginning to end, they hadn't said a single word.

These three small people were just a wisp of divine sense left behind by the three Mount Kunwu elders in the painting, and it was the last restriction left in the Mount Kunwu Hall specifically to prevent the treasures from falling into the hands of evil monsters.

That Wood Kui, whether in terms of scheming or cultivation, could be considered an extremely formidable great monster, even a notch stronger than that Silver-Winged Nightcha. Yet, being struck by the treasures driven by the three divine senses, it had died so confusedly; it could be considered extremely unlucky.

Madam Mu was first shocked and then overjoyed. After the Wood Kui died, the green vines on her body immediately changed from hard as iron to ordinary vines. With a flash of white spiritual fire, these things were turned into nothingness.

She took a deep breath, calmed her state of mind, and just as she was about to take action, a muffled "bang" came from behind her, as if something had broken, but a thunderous sound immediately followed.

"Senior Sister, be careful!" the beautiful female cultivator exclaimed.

The woman's heart tightened. Without thinking, she raised her jade hand and grabbed toward the case table in the void with her five jade fingers. Instantly, all the treasures on the case table trembled and floated up, being directly taken by her.

And just at this moment, a thunderclap sounded in the air above the case table. A figure appeared amidst the lightning, also grabbing toward those treasures. Instantly, the few treasures that were flying toward Madam Mu paused, and immediately shot back toward that person.

It was precisely Han Li, who had just broken free from the cyan cloth and used the Wind-Thunder Wings to reach this place immediately.

Madam Mu saw this scene and was naturally shocked and angry. Opening her mouth, several cold threads were emitted with a piercing sound, shooting toward Han Li; they were actually several silver flying needles.

At the same time, she flicked her sleeves, and a piece of red mist flew out, rolling directly toward those treasures.

Seeing this scene, Han Li's face sank. Opening his mouth, a white murky crystal ball was spat toward those flying needles; it was precisely the Snow Crystal Bead. With one hand, he grabbed toward those treasures in the void again, and instantly a cyan giant hand appeared above the treasures, grabbing down. With the other hand, he flipped his palm, and an ancient feather fan appeared in his hand.

With a flash of ferocity on his face, Han Li didn't hesitate at all, aiming fiercely at the woman and fanning out.

Previously, he had been sneak-attacked and plotted against by the woman in the giant shuttle, and later he had been trapped by this woman using a magic treasure. The anger in his heart had long been rising. Therefore, now at the critical moment of seizing the treasures, he didn't stand on ceremony and immediately used the Three-Flame Fan.

As a result, those few silver needles were blocked by the Snow Crystal Bead, and the light hand that grabbed down was also entangled by the woman's red mist, unable to fall. But with a tremor of the Three-Flame Fan, a surge of golden, silver, and red three-colored flames erupted.

Madam Mu opposite saw this scene, and her face couldn't help but change greatly. She had witnessed the terrifying power of the Three-Flame Fan with her own eyes and naturally knew that this fan's power was definitely not something she could take head-on. Helplessly, she couldn't care about the treasures and flickered her figure, retreating backward.

After the three-colored flames missed, they still burst open in a flash. The astonishing spiritual pressure released by the three-colored light halo, nearly ten zhang in diameter, made even Han Li unable to help but retreat several steps. And those treasures, although they were on the edge of the Three-Flame Fan's power, whether it was Han Li's previous cyan giant hand or Madam Mu's red mist, all collapsed and disappeared under the impact of this spiritual pressure.

Several treasures fell from high altitude to the ground one after another.

Han Li was overjoyed at this and was about to take action when suddenly, three escape lights shot out simultaneously from the Arctic Yuan Light—a blood shadow, a ball of silver light, and a ball of purple mist. These three types of escape lights seemed to be proficient in some strange escape technique, immediately either disappearing in place out of thin air or turning into a gust of wind.

Han Li saw this scene and secretly called it bad, but his movements were not slow at all. With a thunderclap, he arrived above these treasures a step earlier than these people. But it was only a step earlier; the other three shadows appeared in the vicinity of those treasures in the next moment almost simultaneously, attacking the people nearby while also using divine abilities to grab toward a certain treasure.

The closest to Han Li was an unknown wooden plaque and the red-glowing book scroll. He couldn't care about the other treasures and immediately transformed into a piece of cyan mist, sweeping past and rolling these two items into it. Just as he wanted to roll toward the Demon-Subduing Staff nearby, over a dozen blood-colored light pillars and a golden sound wave rolled toward him.

Helpless, Han Li could only let the mist rise and retreat temporarily, avoiding these attacks for the time being.

And the Demon-Subduing Staff was immediately grabbed away by the blood shadow that arrived shortly after.

That ball of purple mist and the silver light didn't look at the other treasures at all, but desperately covered the other wooden plaques scattered elsewhere, looking as if they were afraid of others snatching them.

Han Li saw this and was stunned. And that blood shadow flickered, actually pouncing toward the jade-green seal-shaped treasure again.

"Stop, you cannot take this Transformation Dragon Seal!" A woman's anxious voice came, and immediately a milky-white jade ruler suddenly appeared above the blood shadow, smashing down without mercy.

This ruler was truly strange. Before it had really pressed down, the sound of Sanskrit and Buddha chanting suddenly came from the ruler, and countless milky-white lotus flowers appeared in the nearby air in a large range, as if heavenly maidens were scattering flowers. Each lotus petal was the size of a bowl, and each petal emitted seven-colored Buddha light, covering not only the blood shadow but also the other silver ball and blood shadow beneath it.

It was Han Li who, because of his retreat, happened to be outside the power of this ruler.

As a result, under Han Li's dumbfounded gaze, all the white lotuses burst open simultaneously amidst the woman's delicate shout, then transformed into a giant seven-colored lotus that bloomed petal by petal. Countless Buddha texts surged out from each lotus petal, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting resounded through the entire hall like thunder.

Trapped in the middle of the colorful lotus, the blood shadow, the silver light ball, and the monster shadow in the purple mist didn't even have time to pick up other treasures. They didn't know why, but they couldn't even stand steady, swaying like they were drunk.
