Chapter 1026: Breaking the Bead

Old Demon Qian saw Han Li blocking the front, his heart tightened, and the Blood Demon Bead couldn't help but pause.

The figure in the silver light behind seized the opportunity and moved his hand, a fire-red small bow appeared in his hand. He pulled the bowstring in the void, and instantly countless red arrows shot out densely.

And at the same time, Han Li smiled strangely at the old demon. The Three-Flame Fan in his hand lit up, and amidst the phoenix's cry, a three-colored fire bird surged out from the fan, instantly pouncing toward the Blood Demon Bead.

The situation of being attacked from front and back was formed.

Old Demon Qian was greatly shocked in his heart. He had already seen the power of the Three-Flame Fan once. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to take it head-on. But the attack from the person behind was also extremely sharp. He had already suffered a not-so-small loss after being careless earlier.

Helpless, the Blood Demon Bead let out a sharp scream, and suddenly retreated backward. At the same time, blood light surged, and a grayish-white ghost face appeared on the bead, opening its mouth and spraying out black Qi, instantly transforming into a banner several inches in size.

Expanding wildly in the wind, this banner transformed into several feet in size, Yin Qi surged, and green light flashed!

Yin Luo Banner!

Han Li recognized the origin of this object in the blink of an eye. Except for the demonic Qi being thicker, this object was almost exactly the same as the one he had obtained earlier.

The old demon was the Great Elder of the Yin Luo Sect; it was not strange at all for him to have this treasure. Han Li's thoughts turned rapidly.

And just at this moment, this banner had already unfolded in front of the Blood Demon Bead.

Yin wind blew fiercely nearby, black mist filled the air, and twisted and deformed ghost heads appeared one after another in the demonic Qi, spraying phosphorus fire to meet the sky full of fire arrows.

The arrows naturally didn't stand on ceremony, shooting fiercely into the Yin Qi, and the sound of explosions rang out one after another.

But seizing this opportunity, Old Demon Qian escaped to one side under the cover of this banner's power, and took the opportunity to look back.

Only to see that the fire phoenix was spreading its wings and chasing relentlessly behind it.

The old demon felt a chill in his heart, and he hardened his heart.

That green banner flashed with green light, and a black hole suddenly appeared on the banner surface.

Pitch-black Yin Qi emerged, and a small ghost about an inch high jumped out from within. As soon as this ghost flew out of the banner, its body expanded wildly, actually transforming into a fierce ghost over a zhang tall, with a green face and fangs.

This fierce ghost was wearing pitch-black shiny battle armor, holding a Heaven-Supporting Fork in its hand, with green fire flickering on the fork tips, actually fully armed and possessing not-so-small divine abilities.

This ghost seemed to have been restricted in the banner for hundreds of years. Just as it finished transforming, it hadn't yet seen the situation nearby clearly when it began to scream excitedly, but immediately the long howl stopped abruptly.

Because that three-colored fire bird had already pounced in front of the ghost.

The fierce ghost was startled, and in its haste, it could only open its mouth, spraying out a stream of pitch-black Yin Qi in a panic, while raising the Heaven-Supporting Fork in its hand, wanting to block the fire bird.

It was also this ghost's bad luck!

Although its divine abilities were not as powerful as Old Demon Qian and Han Li and others, they were not below those of ordinary early-stage Core Formation cultivators. But having been imprisoned in the banner for hundreds of years, it had just appeared in the world and bumped into such a strange treasure as the Three-Flame Fan. Plus, it was careless for a moment, not carefully examining the three-colored fire bird, and treated it as an ordinary spirit bird.

As a result, with a muffled "boom," the fire bird burst open the moment it contacted the Yin Qi.

A mysterious light halo appeared strangely, expanding and shrinking, instantly expanding to nearly ten zhang wide.

Within the power, three-colored runes rolled and surged, turning the fierce ghost and the nearby Yin Qi into nothingness.

The Blood Demon Bead seized this obstruction, wrapped itself with the Yin Luo Banner, and escaped out of the three-colored light halo in a flash, escaping this disaster!

Old Demon Qian felt secretly lucky in his heart, but after looking at the Yin Luo Banner, he felt a great sense of pain.

This Yin Luo Sect treasure was currently dim in light, looking like it had lost its spiritual nature.

That this would happen was naturally because the main ghost and the large piece of ghost mist restricted by the banner had been destroyed by the three-colored light halo.

Speaking of which, the Yin Luo Banner could be called the treasure of the Yin Luo Sect, and its power was naturally not as simple as it looked on the surface.

The true power of these banners would only be revealed after all eighteen Yin Luo Banners were gathered.

If all eighteen Yin Luo Banners were in hand, let alone Han Li and that ugly woman, even if a Spirit Transformation cultivator encountered them, Old Demon Qian was confident he could protect himself and not die.

But unfortunately, the Yin Luo Sect had a rule passed down through generations that unless the Yin Luo Sect faced a disaster of sect destruction, the eighteen Yin Luo Banners would not be gathered in one person's hands. Usually, they were held by the eighteen highest-cultivation cultivators in the sect. Even as the Great Elder of the Yin Luo Sect, he couldn't change this point at all.

What's more, one of them had fallen into the hands of the other party.

Old Demon Qian thought resentfully, but a ghost face appeared on the Blood Demon Bead, opening its mouth and wanting to suck the green banner that had suffered great damage into its mouth to put it away.

After this strike from the Three-Flame Fan, his wariness of Han Li had gone away by more than half.

Such a powerful treasure must consume an astonishing amount of magic power. The other party had already used it once when fighting the two women of the Transformation Immortal Sect. And just now, they had fanned it once. In a short time, they should be unable to use this treasure again.

Otherwise, not to mention anything else, if they fanned it a few more times, he would have long ago had nowhere to hide and died under the power of this treasure.

But just at this moment, a strange change occurred.

A sound of thunder came from the figure in the silver light in the distance, and a streak of emerald green sharp light shot out. Amidst a roaring flash, it disappeared in mid-air.

"Bad!"

Seeing this familiar scene, Old Demon Qian's heart tightened.

He had just suffered a not-so-small loss from this object's sneak attack earlier, and it contained the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder that specifically restrained demonic arts. Caught off guard, he hadn't been able to use secret techniques to neutralize it, resulting in his protective blood flames losing quite a bit.

The old demon had suffered once, so naturally, he wouldn't let the same scene happen again.

The ghost face opened its mouth to suck the Ghost Luo Banner into its mouth, then the Blood Demon Bead flickered, becoming blurry.

A few zhang away, green light flashed, and a small emerald green arrow several inches long, flashing with golden electric light, appeared there.

With a thunderclap, the short arrow flashed, piercing through the bead.

The "Blood Demon Bead" turned into nothingness silently.

Old Demon Qian had actually used a secret technique at the critical moment to teleport the Blood Demon Bead away, leaving only a phantom in place.

Only ten zhang away from this place, a ball of blood flames burst open, and the Blood Demon Bead appeared within it.

But a strange scene appeared!

Almost at the same time the Blood Demon Bead appeared, black light flashed silently, and a flying knife an inch long, as clear as ink, appeared behind the Blood Demon Bead.

Black light flashed, and a black line swept across the Blood Demon Bead silently, and the flying knife appeared on the other side. The protective blood flames of this bead hadn't been able to block it at all!

A crisp breaking sound and Old Demon Qian's scream rang out simultaneously, and the surface of the blood bead shattered inch by inch.

"Impossible! How could the Blood Demon Bead be broken so simply... Even the Heaven-Arriving Divine Sword of the Tai-Yi Sect couldn't do this. What is this flying knife..." The voice of Old Demon Qian came from the blood bead, stuttering in shock and anger.

Immediately, the blood bead burst open with a muffled sound, revealing a primordial infant.

This primordial infant was truly strange. Not only was it shrouded in a layer of faint blood mist, but it was also holding a small banner several inches large with both hands, and its entire body was actually being bitten tightly by five black skulls!

And the skulls were as black as ink, wriggling slightly as if they were devouring the primordial infant's essence blood, making one's hair stand on end when they looked at it!

Old Demon Qian's primordial infant saw that the Blood Demon Bead he was attached to had completely disappeared, and immediately let out a piercing scream. Immediately, he wrapped himself in the Yin Luo Banner to block the Arctic Yuan Light all around, and transformed into a ball of black Qi, shooting toward the distance!

The giant skeleton that was fighting with Gui Ling transformed into a giant was also called by a sharp howl, jumped backward, and disintegrated, transforming into five streams of grayish-white Qi, shooting to meet the old demon.

Although the Blood Demon Bead was destroyed, the old demon couldn't transform into a blood shadow body anymore, but as long as he gathered with the Five-Child Demon, he could similarly borrow the body and attach himself to one of them.

Gui Ling naturally wouldn't easily let the Five-Child Demon leave, so she transformed into black and white escape light and chased after him.

Whether it was the Five-Child Demon or Gui Ling, they were still fifty or sixty zhang away from Han Li's side. If the old demon's primordial infant had something to attach to or was outside the Arctic Yuan Light, he could have used the teleportation technique and gathered with the Five-Child Demon in a few flickers.

But now, he had to use ordinary escape light to flee, so how could he escape Han Li's hands, who could use the Thunder Escape Technique?

Han Li's expression was wooden. With a movement of the wings on his back, he appeared directly in front of the black Qi. He raised his hand, thunder roared, and several golden arcs transformed into a golden net, covering it head-on.

The old demon naturally recognized the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder. Immediately, the primordial infant's face changed greatly, and he opened his mouth, spraying out a ball of blood mist to temporarily block the golden net, then changed direction instantly, fleeing rapidly to one side.

But who knew that light flashed in front, and a ball of silver light blocked the front. Immediately, the light converged, revealing a pale-faced middle-aged cultivator.

This person was wearing yellow clothes, his expression wooden, holding a red small bow in one hand; it was precisely the human-shaped puppet refined by Han Li.

However, this puppet appeared silently, and didn't immediately draw the bow to attack. Instead, taking advantage of the old demon's shock, its originally ordinary eyes suddenly released blinding purple light, rippling toward all directions in circles.

Old Demon Qian's primordial infant saw this purple light, only feeling that it was so gorgeous and moving, having a feeling of merging the monster's essence soul into it.

He himself felt warm all over because of this, not wanting to think about anything, nor wanting to do anything.

"Not right, this is a Soul-Bewitching Technique!" Although the old demon was currently just a primordial infant outside, his strong divine sense cultivated over many years instantly allowed him to wake up on his own.

Shocked in his heart, he hurriedly turned his head, not daring to look at the other party's eyes at all. At the same time, the protective black Qi rolled, and he wanted to escape in another direction instantly.

But just at this moment, a strange movement of spiritual energy suddenly came from above his head. The old demon was stunned and couldn't help but look up.

As a result, above him, a small tripod appeared out of nowhere!

This tripod was rotating slowly, emitting faint cyan light.

Although it was his first time seeing this treasure, relying on his hundreds of years of experience, the old demon still instantly felt the strangeness of this tripod. Without thinking, he transformed into a ball of black Qi and shot out.

The small tripod emitted a clear sound, suddenly releasing a stream of cyan murky rosy light, rolling directly toward the direction the old demon was fleeing.
