Chapter 1236

Seeing the other party's refusal to give up, Han Li felt a growing sense of indignation in his heart. 【Web】

Ever since he advanced to the late-stage Nascent Soul, the power of his two Heaven-shaking Spirit Treasures had never been fully revealed. Furthermore, now that he had finally gathered all seventy-two Geng Gold flying swords, he was not entirely sure just how powerful the Great Geng Sword Array would be once deployed. However, he was confident that even a Spirit Transformation level cultivator would likely be unable to retreat unscathed if they fell into it.

What's more, he still had two Immortal-Extinguishing Pearls, whose origins he had recently figured out, to use as a trump card.

Although he had weighed the situation several times in his heart, Han Li thought it over carefully with a solemn face once more. Feeling that he could indeed fight the other party, he immediately stopped using his Wind and Thunder Wings to dodge when that yellow hand reached out to grab him again. Instead, he raised his hand, and a blinding golden light flashed.

With a "Chi-la" sound, the sword light sliced the giant hand directly in two before it collapsed and vanished.

This counterattack from Han Li startled Old Monster Feng, and he could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Come to think of it, it was already strange that Han Li had stood grandly in the air without dodging or fleeing when he caught up this time. Therefore, the previous attack was merely a probing strike. Now, the other party's counterattack made him realize that this late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator seemed to have been pushed to the limit and intended to engage him in a formal battle.

Old Monster Feng's expression remained wooden, but inwardly, he was not angry but happy.

If the other party had continued to flee like this, he himself would have doubted whether he should continue to consume his lifespan in pursuit. But since the other party now intended to fight him, as long as he consumed a bit more essence energy at once, it would be enough to thoroughly annihilate the other party, thereby ending this pursuit that he himself had grown impatient with.

Old Monster Feng let out a long breath and, without wasting any words, simply reached up to touch the top of his head with one hand.

With a flash of blue light, a hexagonal jade plate appeared, its style ancient and simple, with various colored runes drifting across its surface, appearing extremely mysterious.

As soon as this treasure appeared, a cruel grin surfaced on the horse-faced old man's face.

Since he intended not to lose too much lifespan, he would naturally strike with thunderous force from the very beginning and would never entangle himself in a prolonged fight with the other party. Having experienced several brief skirmishes during the pursuit of Han Li, he knew that the other party had significant divine abilities and quite mysterious treasures, so he did not dare to underestimate him too much. Thus, he used his most prized treasure right from the start.

The jade plate spun in the air, suddenly expanding wildly amidst a humming sound, transforming into a massive object several feet in size, before standing vertically to face Han Li.

Blinding blue light shone from its surface, and something seemed to be faintly emerging from it.

Seeing this, Han Li felt a chill in his heart and did not hesitate. He flicked both sleeves simultaneously, and dozens of small golden swords swam out, transforming in the blink of an eye into seventy-two golden flying swords, each a foot long, which circled above his head.

He then pinched a sword incantation with both hands, and the seventy-two flying swords shook, conjuring hundreds of identical sword lights. As these sword lights danced slightly, they immediately transformed into sheets of golden mist, and the sound of swords ringing in unison was truly astonishing.

Seeing Han Li release so many flying swords, Old Monster Feng was stunned for a moment, but then a cold sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"No matter how many flying swords you have, can they compare to my flying knives? Let me show you the power of my Myriad Blade Plate!"

"Myriad Blade Plate."

Han Li's gaze flickered, and he could not help but fix his eyes on the hexagonal jade plate in the distance.

A flash of runes on the plate suddenly shot out a pillar of blue light, which then dispersed into countless streaks of blue light. As each streak of blue light flickered, it instantly transformed into a blue-glimmering flying knife several inches long. Meanwhile, the blue light pillar continued to spray out from the plate, and in the blink of an eye, a dense swarm of flying knives hovered above the old man's head like a mountain of blades.

Anyone who saw this would be terrified!

Although Han Li was not terrified, his expression changed drastically.

This Myriad Blade Plate was truly well-named; even if there weren't ten thousand of these flying knives, there were certainly more than three or four thousand.

Just then, Old Monster Feng flicked his sleeve at Han Li and spat out the word, "Slash!"

All the blue knives suddenly shone with spiritual light, transforming into streaks of blue light that shot straight at Han Li. Because the number of flying knives was so vast, most of the sky was completely obscured by the blade light in an instant, as if a blue mountain of blades were pressing down on Han Li's head.

The golden sword light above Han Li's head was quite impressive, but compared to the mountain of blades opposite, it was like a small witch meeting a great witch, not in the same league at all.

"Well come!"

Han Li took a deep breath, his expression suddenly returning to normal. With a loud shout, he did not urge the sword light above his head to meet the attack. Instead, he raised one hand, and a ball of emerald green shot out, faintly wrapping a green wooden ruler inside.

It was precisely that Eight-Spirit Ruler spirit treasure!

As soon as this ruler was released, it began to dance on its own, and a silver lotus shadow emerged from it. Under the wild injection of magic power, it grew larger and larger, the lotus shining with silver light as if it were solid.

In a short moment, the silver lotus expanded to over ten feet in size, completely shielding Han Li behind it.

"Eight-Spirit Ruler! You are that kid surnamed Han who appeared at Mount Mount Kunwu!" The horse-faced old man opposite was shocked and blurted out upon seeing this lotus, recognizing the Eight-Spirit Ruler at a glance.

At the same time, the blue mountain of blades paused when it reached the space above the giant lotus and did not press down immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Feng recognizes me?" Han Li frowned and asked indifferently.

"I don't recognize you, but Old Ghost Xiang mentioned you to me once! I heard you are well-acquainted with the Spirit Realm's Concubine Linglong?" The horse-faced old man's eyes flickered, wondering what he was thinking.

"Well-acquainted is not the word, but I do know her a little. Old Ghost Xiang, are you talking about Xiang Xiang Zhili?" Upon hearing the two names mentioned by the other party, a strange expression appeared on Han Li's face as he asked in return.

"Hmph, besides Old Ghost Xiang, who else could it be? Let's not discuss Brother Xiang's affairs for now. I ask you, before Concubine Linglong returned to the Spirit Realm, did she mention anything to you about space nodes, or leave you any shortcuts?" The horse-faced old man took a deep breath and asked this.

"What does this mean? Didn't Fellow Daoist Linglong already give pointers to Brother Xiang and Xiong Shi of the Myriad Demon Valley? Since Fellow Daoist Feng is an old acquaintance of Brother Xiang, it is impossible that you don't know this." Han Li was shocked in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

"What does it mean? Why do you have to play dumb? I have specifically inquired about the situation at that time. Concubine Linglong clearly had a deep relationship with you. I don't believe that she wouldn't have left you something else or a backup plan before returning to the Spirit Realm. As long as you hand over what the Concubine left you, I can let bygones be bygones regarding previous matters." The horse-faced old man did not believe him at all and instead said coldly and gloomily.

"Fellow Daoist's tone is truly quite arrogant. Not to mention whether Han truly possesses such an item, does Fellow Daoist Feng really think that you can take me down with a mere 'Myriad Blade Plate'?" Han Li refused bluntly without any politeness.

He was not a three-year-old child to be so easily deceived. If he truly admitted to this, even if he could escape this current disaster, he would face endless trouble once targeted by other Spirit Transformation old monsters in the future.

Hearing Han Li say this, a fierce light flashed in the horse-faced old man's eyes. He immediately pinched a magic incantation with both hands, seemingly intending to urge the mountain of blades again.

Han Li felt a tightness in his heart and moved his divine sense, causing the giant silver lotus to rotate slowly as well.

Just as the battle was about to break out, a leisurely voice echoed in the ears of both Old Monster Feng and Han Li:

"Brother Feng, Fellow Daoist Han, hold your hands."

Hearing these somewhat familiar words, Han Li was startled, and his expression became strange.

The horse-faced old man's hands, which were pinching the incantation, also paused, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face as well. But he suddenly turned his head to look toward the horizon, and at the same time, he hummed and let out a leisurely voice:

"Hmph, Old Ghost Xiang, you arrived quite timely this time."

"Hehe, this old man also happened to be in a nearby prefecture. Once I received your flying sword message, I naturally followed the marks you left behind. But I didn't expect that the person Brother Feng wanted to deal with this time was Fellow Daoist Han. This puts Xiang in a bit of a dilemma."

The voice laughed, and then a yellow light flashed on the horizon. A rainbow-like streak of light shot over with lightning speed, and after a few flashes, it arrived in the air between the two.

The light converged, revealing an old man with an aged face, but his small eyes revealed a slippery look. He was currently smiling broadly. It was precisely Xiang Xiang Zhili, whom Han Li had already met several times!

"Brother Xiang!" Han Li sighed lightly and greeted him with cupped fists.

"I spent several years drifting in the Huang Feng Valley of Tiannan, so calling me Brother is not wrong. However, Brother Han! This old man truly did not expect that the small Qi Refining stage cultivator from back then could cultivate to such a level. It seems Xiang had poor judgment back then. Actually, when we met in Mount Mount Kunwu, Xiang wanted to have a good talk with Brother Han, but I didn't expect there to be other twists and turns, and we couldn't even say two words." This Xiang Xiang Zhili was actually very kind and gentle toward Han Li, appearing very friendly.

"I also did not expect to see Brother Xiang again!" Han Li also gave a bitter smile.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, for the sake of this old man, if there is no deep hatred between you and Brother Han, why not let go of this small misunderstanding? It's just that one of your descendants from many generations ago was accidentally killed; it's not worth fighting Brother Han to the death. Your Myriad Blade Plate is indeed a replica spirit treasure, but it is still a far cry from a true Heaven-shaking Spirit Treasure." After greeting Han Li, Xiang Xiang Zhili immediately turned his head and smiled slightly at Old Monster Feng.

"Hmph! A mere Nascent Soul cultivator, even if he possesses a Heaven-shaking Spirit Treasure, can only exert the second layer of its power. Can he really hurt me?" Old Monster Feng sneered disdainfully.

"Indeed, if he only had one spirit treasure, Brother Han would naturally not be Brother Feng's match. But what if he possesses two Heaven-shaking Spirit Treasures and several replica spirit treasures?" Xiang Xiang Zhili shook his head and said this.

These words caused Old Monster Feng's expression to change!
