Chapter 1142

A strange scene appeared!

When the white silk touched the purple 'color' light flame, Fang Yi was struck as if by a heavy blow and stopped instantly, revealing countless white, misty, cow 'hair'-like fine needles. Net

Han Li waved his arm, and the purple flames on his body surged upward by about a chi, instantly sweeping these fine needles into them.

Purple light flashed on the needles; several were wrapped layer upon layer in purple ice, and with their spiritual 'nature' completely lost, they tumbled down one after another.

As for the similarly incoming cyan-green jade hammer, Han Li merely flicked his sleeve robe casually; after a flash of purple light, the hammer was struck as if by a tremendous force and directly rolled away.

Miaohe True Person hastily made a hand seal trying to stop it, but to no avail; instead, the hammer's surface flashed with crystal light, and in the blink of an eye it was sealed within a chunk of purple ice.

The Daoist Priest's face 'color' instantly turned extremely grim.

At this moment, the yellow-robed old man could hardly believe his own eyes.

The heavy treasure he usually relied upon was actually shattered so easily by a single light strike—it was utterly unbelievable to him!

Seeing Han Li charge straight through the purple flames, the yellow-robed old man panicked and shook his sleeve, sending out a silver magic wheel that shot forth.

But Han Li moved like the wind; the purple flames rolled downward, and he appeared before the yellow-robed old man in an instant.

Just as the silver wheel flickered twice, a flash of golden light appeared, and the silver wheel silently split into two halves, falling straight to the ground.

The yellow-robed old man's pupils contracted; he opened his mouth, and yellow light flashed as he prepared to spit out his natal magic treasure.

But in that brief delay, Han Li gave a sinister smile; one arm suddenly blurred, then flickered and vanished from sight.

Almost simultaneously, the yellow-robed old man felt his neck tighten suddenly; an icy cold hand mysteriously rested upon it, a flash of purple light appeared before his eyes, and the magic treasure he was about to expel instantly lost contact with his spiritual sense.

"Ah"

The old man had his soul frightened out of his body, but only managed to let out a miserable cry before his entire body was enveloped by the purple ice spreading from his neck, rendering him completely immobile. The face sealed within the crystal ice bore an expression of utter terror, frozen in extreme fear.

Han Li let out a cold laugh, single-handedly holding the human-shaped ice sculpture, his gaze shifted, and without expression he looked toward the other few people.

The four Core Formation cultivators, knowing they could not 'insert' themselves into a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators, had already deployed their defensive magic treasures, but merely watched anxiously from a slightly safer distance. Seeing the yellow-robed old man subdued by Han Li in the blink of an eye, they exchanged glances, shouted in unison, and scattered in all directions, each transforming into an escape light and fleeing with their treasures.

As for Han Li's primary target, Miaohe True Person turned and fled even faster than the four Core Formation cultivators.

At the very moment the old man was seized by Han Li, Miaohe True Person's shock can be imagined; he now realized Han Li's divine abilities far exceeded his expectations. With only himself left, he saw no chance of victory and immediately decisively transformed into a green rainbow, shooting toward Shicheng.

The old Daoist had originally worried that the scattered golden 'color' beetles around them would swarm and entangle him, but who would have known these spirit insects behaved like puppets, motionless in midair, allowing him to flash through and break out of the encirclement.

This delighted Miaohe greatly; without a second thought, after a few flashes, his escape light appeared over a hundred zhang away.

Seeing this, Han Li said nothing more, flicked his long sleeve toward the four Core Formation cultivators, and four golden beams shot forth, their escape speed so great they nearly instantly caught up to the four.

Miserable cries followed one after another!

After the four Core Formation cultivators and their defensive magic treasures were entangled by the golden light, they shed a great rain of blood; shattered corpses and broken magic treasure fragments tumbled down from the air one after another.

At this time, Han Li glanced once more at the escape light of Miaohe True Person nearly vanished at the horizon's edge, coldly chuckled, and instead of moving to pursue, he raised the hand holding the ice sculpture; thunderous rumbling sounded from his palm, and several thick golden arcs surged forth, instantly forming a golden net that enveloped the ice sculpture.

Under the furious flashing of electricity, the ice sculpture shattered in the golden light, and simultaneously, a yellow 'color' Nascent Soul about a cun in height appeared, its face identical to that of the yellow-robed old man.

This Nascent Soul wore a look of panic; its hands flew to form seals rapidly, spiritual light flashed on its body, and it vanished from the spot.

But the next moment, a thunderous boom erupted from somewhere in the golden net; the Nascent Soul appeared amidst the jumping golden arcs, yet the teleportation technique could not penetrate the restriction formed by the Divine Thunder of Repelling Evil.

Han Li remained silent; with one hand he grasped the empty space of the golden net, and the net suddenly shrank; in one breath, it condensed into a golden light ball that firmly imprisoned the Nascent Soul; then, raising his hand, several talismans flew out and shot forth, sticking to the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul's condensed spiritual power from its pinching gesture instantly became unable to mobilize in the slightest.

Han Li clasped his hands behind his back, no longer paying attention to how this Nascent Soul would fare, but narrowed his eyes and looked once more toward the direction where Miaohe True Person had disappeared.

At this moment, Miaohe True Person was already several hundred zhang away; with magic power rapidly flowing within his body, his escape speed was nearly as fast as lightning. Yet even so, this early Nascent Soul cultivator still occasionally glanced back over his shoulder, eyes darting, as if fearing Han Li might pursue.

When he saw that behind him remained pitch black, Miaohe's heart relaxed slightly, but his escape speed did not decrease in the slightest; instead, he turned his hand once, producing a green 'color' talisman, and with a hand seal he prepared to activate it.

But Miaohe did not know that, at the very moment he turned his head back, a faint silver light flashed after his escape light, and a green 'color' human figure appeared ghostlike.

This figure seemed to drift lightly, yet it clung tightly to his escape light without falling behind in the slightest. He was naturally the human-shaped puppet Han Li had secretly released earlier.

The old Daoist, however, noticed nothing of this; he still focused all his attention on the talisman in his hand.

The puppet woodenly raised its hand; a silver 'color' fist shot forward silently and without sound.

With a "zila" crisp sound, the red 'color' shield on the old Daoist's body, transformed into a protective barrier, was pierced through like paper by the silver 'color' fist, which struck his back directly, shattering his body's spiritual light completely.

By the time Miaohe True Person noticed the abnormality behind him, his heart sank, but it was already too late to react in any way.

With a "puchi" sound, the fist, stained with fresh blood, appeared before the old Daoist's chest; then, with a sudden pull, a bowl-thick blood hole appeared.

Miaohe True Person let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering miserable cry, but his body went limp and collapsed helplessly.

The human-shaped puppet rubbed its cold hands together, then lifted them downward, and a silver 'color' light net descended from above……

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Han Li, already leisurely standing on a nearby hilltop, saw a silver rainbow appear from the horizon and shoot toward this place, and couldn't help but show a hint of a smile on his face.

With a "peng" dull sound, the yellow-robed Daoist, enveloped in a silver 'color' light net and covered with five-colored talismans, was directly dropped from low altitude and slammed heavily onto the ground before Han Li's feet.

Then, with a flash of a figure, the human-shaped puppet stood behind Han Li.

Han Li then took a closer look: the yellow-robed Daoist was covered in bloodstains, half-dead, and on his face appeared a smile that was not quite a smile……

Two hours later, a green rainbow quietly escaped from Lei Kong Island, then shot straight toward a certain direction and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

In the escape light, Han Li was weighing two cyan-green storage bags in his hand, his face full of a contemplative expression.

The bags were precisely the two storage bags taken from Miaohe and the yellow-robed old man, each containing over a hundred high-grade spirit stones, originally intended to be secretly sent back to Bilin Island.

It turned out that Miaohe, who seemed to have allied with the other forces on the island, had actually secretly pledged allegiance to the Nixing Alliance, planning to secretly control several islands near Bilin Island under the Alliance's support, and this Lei Kong Island was one of his targets.

The high-grade spirit stones sold by Miaohe's sect on Lei Kong Island were directly mined by Nixing Alliance cultivators on Bilin Island and then secretly given to Miaohe to support his covert rise and expand his influence on Lei Kong Island. As for the yellow-robed old man, he was another Nascent Soul loose cultivator bought by the Nixing Alliance, originally responsible for controlling another island, with a status roughly equal to Miaohe's.

The reason this person appeared on Lei Kong Island was, like Miaohe, that he had suddenly received an unbelievable order: to immediately gather all his high-grade spirit stones and rush to Bilin Island, as there was an extremely important matter requiring the aid of these high-grade spirit stones and these Nascent Soul cultivators' strength, and to avoid alarming other cultivators' forces as much as possible.

Because this matter was indeed somewhat strange, and because the island where the yellow-robed old man stayed was very close to Lei Kong Island, he was surprised and first met up with Miaohe, then they set out together for Bilin Island to look after each other.

But they never imagined that their conversation in the market town about retrieving spirit stones happened to be overheard by Han Li in a few sentences. Although he didn't hear the details, Han Li understood that the two had defected to the Nixing Alliance, were carrying large amounts of spirit stones, and were about to depart from Shicheng.

Han Li originally had an old score to settle with Miaohe; upon hearing that high-grade spirit stones were on their persons, and adding that he had once been hunted for a long time by many elders of the Nixing Alliance, he naturally would not be polite. He immediately activated his secret technique of divine sense分千, released tens of thousands of gold-devouring insects, scattered them around Shicheng, and closely monitored the movements of Miaohe and others.

As a result, that very night he timely intercepted the few people attempting to leave the island, and with his late Nascent Soul divine powers, subduing two mere early Nascent Soul cultivators was effortless.

Originally, having reached this point, he had already achieved his goal and could immediately return to the Inner Star Sea. But it so happened that, after searching the souls of the two Miaohe, he received an important piece of news: the Extreme Yin Ancestor, who had once nearly cost him his life, was actually also in the nearby sea region, and moreover was one of the elders stationed by the Nixing Alliance to guard the mineral veins on Bilin Island.

Needless to say, the Extreme Yin Ancestor was absolutely one of the people Han Li hated most in the 'Chaotic' Star Sea, whose very name made his teeth itch. Back then, in the Xuantian Palace, if it weren't for his cleverness and fortunate coincidence, he would probably have already been tortured to death by this old demon. In the end, he would hardly escape the fate of perishing and dying.

Therefore, the Extreme Yin Ancestor had Han Li as one of his absolute targets for extermination.

Now, upon hearing that the old demon was actually on Bi Ling Island not far from here, Han Li certainly would not let go of this good opportunity to avenge this great grudge. Through soul searching, he already knew that the Nixing Alliance had four Nascent Soul cultivators on Bi Ling Island—one at mid Nascent Soul stage and three at early Nascent Soul stage. These people might be enough to intimidate the remaining two forces on the island, but to Han Li now, they were naturally not worth mentioning.

He had absolute confidence that he could silently sneak into the island, kill the Extreme Yin Ancestor without anyone knowing, and then silently leave without alerting anyone.

Thinking this in his heart, Han Li naturally would not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed straight to Bi Ling Island.

Three days later, Han Li finally arrived at a sea area near Bi Ling Island.
