Chapter 1250: Capturing the Essence Fire

The small silver-winged horse transformed from the Sun Essence Fire had already chased to this place; naturally, it would not give up easily. Immediately, it spread its wings and likewise gave chase upward in a rush.

Both of these entities were fire-spirit bodies, so naturally, they would not be obstructed by the thick layer of soil.

A moment later, with two 'pop' sounds, the two fire spirits rushed out of the ground one after the other, landing right inside the giant light cage.

As soon as the Sun Essence Fire rushed out, it immediately discovered something was wrong. However, at this moment, the humanoid puppet had already suddenly tapped its single foot against the Qianlan Treasure Cauldron below. Instantly, a burst of blue flame roared out from the cauldron, transforming in the blink of an eye into a blue cold flood dragon that fiercely pounced downward.

Meanwhile, the Yin Fire Bird that had originally been fleeing also circled around, instead heading toward the silver-winged horse below. It opened its beak, and the milky-white snow crystal bead was spat out, smashing downward.

At the same time, the entire magic array also began to activate under the humanoid puppet's pointing finger.

Upon seeing this scene, the Sun Essence Fire did not hesitate to turn around and shoot downward, intending to flee back into the molten lava. The place where it and the Yin Fire Bird had flown out was the only area in the volcanic crater intentionally left uncovered by blue ice. But at this moment, as the magic array emitted a humming sound, blue light surfaced in that area, and it also began to freeze over.

However, no matter how fast the magic array activated, it was far inferior to the escape speed of the horse transformed from the Sun Essence Fire.

Just as a flash of silver light appeared and the silver-winged horse was about to dive into the ground, its eyes suddenly revealed a look of terror. It spread its wings, its figure paused, and it suddenly disappeared from its original spot, reappearing in the air more than twenty feet away.

Almost at the same time, five light pillars of different colors erupted from the ground, striking the empty space.

Following this, five strands of grayish-white demonic Qi surged out, rolling about to reveal five ghost heads about a foot in size.

It was precisely the Five-Child Concentric Demons!

Han Li also slowly rose from underground.

At this moment, under the effect of the magic array, this patch of ground was also submerged by blue light, transforming into a thick layer of ice.

Han Li stepped on the blue ice with both feet, looked up at the sky, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

He saw the cold flood dragon transformed from the Qianlan Ice Flame, the Yin Fire Bird, and the five ghost heads swarming to surround and attack the silver-winged horse.

The fire spirit transformed from the Sun Essence Fire was indeed as exceptionally clever as in the memories of Master Han Li, transforming into a ball of silver light and fleeing across the sky, never staying in any one place.

Except for the Yin Fire Bird, the escape speed of this fire spirit was clearly a notch faster than the five demons and the cold flood dragon. However, because the Yin Fire Bird had the assistance of Han Li's snow crystal bead and was currently inside the cold-Qi cage transformed from the Qianlan Ice Flame, it was the opposite of when they were in the molten lava land, and it was a fraction faster than the Sun Essence Fire.

If it weren't for the silver-winged horse's movement techniques being truly agile and cunning, making it impossible to capture its escape trajectory, it likely would have been blocked by the fire bird long ago.

Even so, in a short period, the silver-winged horse was struck several times by the red light from the fire bird's beak, suffering some minor injuries. However, the horse would rather take a few hits than counterattack, to prevent being caught up by the five demons and the cold flood dragon.

Han Li stood below with his hands behind his back, not moving an inch, while high above, the humanoid puppet was simultaneously driving the magic array and controlling the cold flood dragon, its expression equally emotionless.

Suddenly, the silver-winged horse seized an opportunity. After taking a hit from the Yin Fire Bird, it folded its wings and, without the slightest warning, transformed into a streak of silver light, diving downward. After a flash, it reached the ground, and with silver light radiating, it intended to use its escape technique to flee.

But the moment it made contact with the blue ice on the ground, the silver light and blue light intertwined a few times, and the silver-winged horse's figure actually paused.

Because of this delay, a streak of red light and a burst of blue cold mist instantly sprayed in from behind. At the same time, a wailing, strange sound also rang out.

Terror appeared in the horse's eyes; it was clearly too late to dodge, but its reaction was not slow. Its figure swayed, stopping its downward escape, and its wings flapped wildly a few times. Clusters of silver flowers appeared out of thin air around its body, instantly wrapping it within them; it seemed it intended to take the hit head-on.

Two muffled 'Boom—' sounds came, and the red light and blue cold mist struck the silver flowers one after another, immediately exploding.

Much to Han Li's surprise, the silver-winged horse was sent flying backward from the silver flowers as if struck by a great force, instantly reaching more than ten feet away. Following a stumble, it transformed into a streak of silver light and fled toward another direction of the cage.

Although the fire spirit's escape speed remained incredibly fast, Han Li's pupils flashed with blue light, and he discovered that one of its wings was clearly a short section smaller than before, and one of its horse legs had also begun to blur, with silver flames faintly flickering incessantly.

A trace of a smile appeared at the corners of Han Li's mouth, and he finally took action.

A flash of cyan-white light appeared behind his back, and a pair of feathered wings emerged. Then, with a gentle flap, a breeze arose, and Han Li disappeared from his original spot with the wind.

At this time, the Yin Fire Bird and the others discovered that the Sun Essence Fire had escaped and chased after it without hesitation. But because of this slight delay, the silver-winged horse had exerted its escape speed to the limit in the air, and after a few flashes of silver light, it reached the edge of the cage.

A blue light pillar blocked its path, and the fire spirit immediately intended to circle around it.

But the humanoid puppet high in the air saw this scene and, without a word, pinched a magic seal with both hands. All the light pillars suddenly radiated intense light, and countless threads of light sprayed out from the pillars, instantly transforming into a giant light net, densely blocking the Sun Essence Fire's path.

The horse was startled, but without a second thought, it moved its wings, and dozens of silver flowers shot directly at the net, while its figure dived in without stopping at all.

It actually intended to force its way through this light net.

However, the fire spirit did not notice that high above its head, two clusters of white mist were floating there, and at this moment, the clouds suddenly rolled, and two gusts of milky-white cold wind sprayed out from within. Following this, two snow-white centipedes pounced out, their movements as fast as lightning.

They were precisely two of the Six-Winged Frost Centipedes that Han Li had long ago arranged in the surroundings.

Because of this, the silver-winged horse below could only helplessly sway its figure, circling once to temporarily avoid the two gusts of cold wind, while simultaneously shooting off to the other side. This was because the fire bird, the five demons, and the others were once again surrounding and chasing it.

But the moment it turned around, black light suddenly appeared before its eyes. A black, crystalline flying knife appeared out of thin air, and a black line instantly slashed across the horse's body.

The horse's eyes just revealed a look of terror, and a silver line appeared on its brow; its body immediately split into two halves.

After two 'pop' sounds, the two halves of its body transformed into a flame form, radiating silver light, and then gathered toward the center, instantly fusing back into a whole horse.

However, its body remained blurry, unable to immediately restore its solid form.

Clearly, the strange slash of the Demonic Marrow Flying Knife had caused this fire spirit's vitality to be greatly damaged. Just at this moment, a muffled thunderclap came from high above, a cyan arc flashed, and Han Li appeared out of thin air. As soon as he appeared, he unceremoniously flicked his ten fingers in succession.

A shrill sound of piercing the air suddenly arose!

Ten fire threads shot out, and after a flash, they pierced through the body of the silver-flame horse, which was unable to move.

Han Li simultaneously chanted incantations, and after the fire threads coiled, they immediately wrapped around the horse several times, binding it densely.

Caught off guard, this fire spirit seemed to have no power to resist at all.

Seeing this situation, Han Li was naturally overjoyed.

He flipped his palm, and a stack of long-prepared restriction talismans emerged. With a flick, they transformed into more than ten rays of light of different colors and shot toward the Sun Essence Fire.

As long as these restriction talismans were stuck on, even if the opponent were a fire-spirit body, it would absolutely have no wings to escape.

But a scene that greatly exceeded Han Li's expectations occurred.

The silver-flame horse, which had originally been bound tightly, suddenly opened its mouth and let out a hiss, following which its body radiated intense silver light. The fire threads actually loosened and fell off on their own, flashing to transform into ten fire lines that met the incoming restriction talismans.

Explosive sounds arose, turning all the talismans into fly ash, and they even shot straight toward Han Li.

Even though Han Li had always been exceptionally calm, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly. But he immediately raised one hand and beckoned solemnly toward the fire threads.

Instantly, these red threads condensed, and only then did they all reluctantly submerge into his palm.

The silver-flame horse took this opportunity to turn around, looking like it wanted to flee again.

Han Li's expression sank, and a cold snort suddenly issued from his nose.

The horse, which had just turned its head, heard this snort, and its body suddenly trembled, actually unable to control itself and falling directly from the air.

It turned out he had actually used the Spirit-Startling Spike secret technique!

Han Li's wings behind his back flickered, his figure disappeared before the eyes, and the next moment he appeared below the falling horse. He didn't use any magic treasure; he grabbed into the empty air with one hand, and a giant hand condensed from purple flame appeared out of thin air, forcibly scooping the silver-flame horse into his hand.

Following this, purple flames and cold light radiated intensely, and a giant purple ice block immediately wrapped the fire spirit within it.

At this time, the Yin Fire Bird and the cold flood dragon also finally pounced over, diving into the purple ice without hesitation, and merging into one with the ice block amidst flickering spiritual light.

And almost at the same time, the silver-flame horse inside the ice block seemed to wake up from the dizziness of the Spirit-Startling Spike, and immediately the silver flames on its body surged wildly, wanting to melt the cold ice and escape.

However, with the addition of the Yin True Fire of the same tier to the freezing, how could it break free from the binding in a short time? He saw the blue cold flood dragon and the red fire bird moving like fish in water inside the ice, surrounding this horse and spraying cold Qi from their mouths, suppressing the silver flames tightly.

The five demons also arrived.

Under the urging of the fire spirit's spiritual sense, they immediately spat out five types of cold flames, which merged together into a five-colored cold flame, also covering the horse inside the purple ice. As a result, after the light flames passed, the silver-flame horse's movements immediately became incredibly slow, while the cold flood dragon and the Yin Fire Bird, which were also affected, seemed completely unaffected, instead having the power of the cold Qi they spat out increase by several points.

Attacked by so much extreme cold power, the horse transformed from the Sun Essence Fire finally saw its resistance movements inside the purple ice become slower and slower, and its aura gradually weakened.

Seeing this, Han Li immediately took the opportunity to flick his sleeve, spraying out more than ten more talismans. As a result, these talismans pierced through the purple ice and stuck tightly onto the horse.

This fire spirit immediately stopped struggling with a look of despair, the silver light on its body dimmed, and it could no longer maintain the form of a horse, transforming into a ball of silver-radiant light floating inside the cold ice.

(This was yesterday's second chapter; I will continue to write today's chapter now. *Sigh*, there's no help for it! I didn't expect that after going on a long trip, there would still be matters waiting for me at home. I've already been rushing like crazy, and the update is a bit delayed. I hope everyone can be a bit more understanding.)
