Chapter 1279

Han Li's pupils shrank slightly. 【Web】

These two were clearly not ordinary body cultivators; otherwise, their momentum wouldn't be so astonishing under a single sweep of their gaze. The feeling they gave him was that they seemed even more formidable than Zhang Kui.

"Two big brothers, this is Brother Han, who just joined our trading firm. The Lady said earlier that she wanted to see him, so I hope you can report it." The young man surnamed Luo stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said with exceptional respect.

"Oh, so this is the person who cultivated the Diamond Art to the third layer. He looks young indeed, but I wonder if he has consumed any beauty-preserving pills or medicines." A short, large man sized Han Li up twice and suddenly said this.

The content of his words seemed quite impolite!

"If you two think I have consumed them, then so be it." Han Li's heart jumped slightly, but he chuckled on the surface.

"Hmph, I don't quite believe you've really cultivated the Diamond Art to the third layer. I'll test you; you don't mind, do you, sir?" The large man clearly said this casually, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly grabbed Han Li's wrist and said stiffly.

Han Li only moved his eyebrows and didn't dodge, actually letting the other party grab his wrist. He then felt the other party's five fingers were exceptionally cold, and suddenly a huge force erupted, beginning to contract, not at all like a flesh-and-blood body.

Han Li laughed instead of getting angry, but his gaze darkened.

Under the other party's huge force, a layer of faint golden color appeared where his wrist was grabbed, but it vanished in a flash, and he just stood quietly in place, letting the other party do as they pleased.

A moment later, the large man saw that he had already exerted seven or eight parts of his strength, yet the other party still appeared as if nothing had happened, and his face finally changed greatly. But after a moment of hesitation, instead of letting go, he took a deep breath, and a layer of black light suddenly appeared on his five fingers, his strength increasing greatly once again.

Han Li's smile finally faded, he snorted lightly through his nose, and swung his arm as if casually.

The large man only felt his five fingers grabbing Han Li's wrist shake, and his body instantly went numb for the most part. Before he could even cry out in surprise, a massive force came, and his body couldn't help but fly into the air.

Seeing Han Li expressionless, the large man was about to be ruthlessly thrown against a nearby stone wall, hitting it until his head was broken and bleeding, but a figure flashed, and the other guard who had been silent all along suddenly flew several zhang, flashing in front of his flying companion, and grabbed with lightning speed, wanting to catch him.

But as soon as this person's palm touched his companion's collar, his expression changed suddenly, and his other palm also probed out quickly, becoming a two-handed catching posture.

After a loud "bang," they heard several consecutive sounds of retreating steps.

Although this man caught his companion, his figure also retreated seven or eight steps, and he only stood firm again with a pale face.

Seeing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the large man who had attacked.

For this person to be able to catch his companion after exerting his own huge force, his body cultivation technique was clearly even higher than the other's.

The young man surnamed Luo was already dumbfounded.

These two large men were the personal guards of "Lady Fang." Although they didn't usually deal with these knights, their highly advanced body cultivation techniques were secretly admired even by their leader, Zhang Kui. Back then, knights who thought their cultivation was good had secretly challenged these two, and all of them were defeated miserably.

And this newly joined Han Li had actually made these two look so gray-faced and helpless with just one hand.

Does the Diamond Art really have such great power once cultivated to the third layer?

The young man surnamed Luo's expression became uncertain.

He naturally didn't know that Han Li's astonishing strength was mostly due to his hundreds of years of consuming Dragon Scale Fruit and cultivating the Bone Tempering Art back in the Mortal Realm. Otherwise, even if the Diamond Art had the divine ability to increase strength, it would only be about the same size as these two large men at the third layer. What's more, Han Li's Diamond Art had actually been cultivated to the fourth layer.

"Brother Han's skills are astonishing; my brother and I admit defeat. Please enter." The large man who had attacked later operated his cultivation technique several times in his body, finally spitting out the mass of stagnant energy in his chest while speaking, and his expression returned to normal, but the gaze he cast at Han Li couldn't help but carry a sense of awe.

The man who had been thrown by Han Li had an exceptionally ugly face.

Han Li smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, cupped his fists, and walked into the courtyard in a leisurely manner.

The young man surnamed Luo naturally had no qualifications to enter, so he had to stay outside the courtyard.

The door of the house facing the courtyard gate was tightly closed. Just as Han Li was about to step forward and knock, a pleasant female voice came from inside.

"Is that Young Master Han? Please come in! I have been waiting for a long time."

Han Li's gaze flickered twice, but he didn't feel any surprise, and pushed the door open calmly and walked in.

After sweeping his gaze, his expression stirred.

The number of people in the room surprised him quite a bit.

Sitting in the main seat facing the door was a woman in her thirties in a green shirt, with fair skin and a beautiful face. Standing behind her was a young man in a blue robe, twenty-five or twenty-six, whose face was somewhat similar to the woman's.

Opposite the woman sat a young man in a brocade robe with graying temples, his expression somewhat cold.

Closely beside this man were a young man and woman who looked like a couple; the man was handsome and heroic, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower.

These people seemed to have known everything that happened outside the courtyard gate, so when Han Li entered, they all swept their gazes over with different expressions.

The woman's gaze was somewhat surprised and somewhat happy, the blue-robed young man was somewhat curious, but the brocade-robed man frowned slightly. The young couple was even showing a few expressions of surprise.

"Young Master Han, don't take offense. The two guards testing you just now were actually my idea. I just wanted to see if the third layer of the Diamond Art was as powerful as rumored. This technique is widely circulated, but it is also one of the most difficult body cultivation techniques to practice; very few people can break through to the second layer, let alone the third layer like Young Master Han." The beautiful woman stood up to welcome him and bowed, saying.

"I am already a member of the trading firm; a mere test naturally counts for nothing. I just don't know if you are satisfied with my skills?" Han Li smiled slightly and said indifferently.

Although he intended to hide in the Tian Dong Trading Firm for the time being, he didn't intend to be a small pawn driven by others, so he naturally didn't mind showing a bit of his strength.

His previous performance seemed to have made this Lady Fang look at him in a new light.

"The power of the third layer of the Diamond Art is far beyond my expectations; I have naturally opened my eyes to it. By the way, let me introduce you to Young Master Han. This is my son, Pan Qing, who cultivates immortal arts under the Jinyu Sect. And these three are his fellow disciples." Hearing Han Li say this, the woman smiled beautifully and introduced the others by pointing at them:

"So it's the Young Master and the Immortal Masters!" Han Li cupped his fists and said calmly.

Although his spiritual sense could not leave his body, relying on the sensitivity of his spiritual sense, he could still roughly sense the cultivation of these people at such a close distance. Several of them had cultivation above the Foundation Establishment stage. However, this Pan Qing and the young couple seemed to have just reached Foundation Establishment, and their spiritual energy was weaker, but the brocade-robed man had thick magic power, seeming to have reached the Great Perfection of the late Foundation Establishment stage, the False Core realm. He could not be underestimated.

Seeing the skills Han Li had just displayed, these people didn't dare to take it lightly and returned the salute one after another. The brocade-robed man even asked with a smile:

"Although I have never practiced body cultivation, my master once befriended a high-tier body cultivator. It is said that that senior killed several level six or seven demonic beasts alone. Originally, I thought it was an exaggeration. But now that I have seen the divine ability of Brother Han's Diamond Art, I am convinced of it. However, I see that Brother Han's astonishing strength doesn't seem to be entirely due to the Diamond Art; it should be innate divine strength."

This person also had some discernment and actually saw the strangeness of Han Li's astonishing strength.

"Brother Qin's eyes are like torches; my strength is indeed partly innate." Han Li naturally wouldn't explain things like the Dragon Scale Fruit to the other party and admitted it by following the trend.

The brocade-robed man nodded, and the trace of doubt in his heart finally vanished for the most part.

Next, the brocade-robed man and the others didn't ask anything more, but the Lady Fang chatted with Han Li with a kind expression, asking about Han Li's background in a roundabout way, but Han Li naturally dealt with it by playing dumb.

Seeing Han Li's performance, the woman didn't really pursue it, but clearly told him: the brocade-robed man and the others, including Pan Qing, were all sent by their sect to assist Anyuan City in resisting this beast tide. On one hand, it was because the high-level officials of Anyuan City had some friendship with the Jinyu Sect, and on the other hand, every eruption of a beast tide was also an excellent opportunity for low-tier cultivators to break through bottlenecks. Therefore, they were sent out as disciples of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Of course, the Jinyu Sect was not the only one sent to Anyuan City; there were also disciples from more than a dozen other small and medium-sized sects.

And these people from the Tian Dong Trading Firm, since entering Anyuan City, according to past practice, could not avoid being conscripted by Anyuan City. Therefore, Lady Fang temporarily appointed Han Li as Zhang Kui's deputy to assist him in commanding this guard team.

Hearing the woman's appointment, Han Li pondered for a moment and agreed with a nod.

Seeing this, the woman revealed a satisfied expression and then let Han Li go to rest. According to her, the eruption of the beast tide could happen at any time, and it was really a major beast tide with several types of beast herds combined. Han Li and the others naturally had to rest and build up their energy.

Han Li smiled slightly and left the house immediately.

After the door closed again, the woman's smile faded, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her face.

"Why, does the Lady feel that this person is a rare talent and wants to change her mind?" The brocade-robed man touched his chin and asked with a chuckle.

"Indeed. This person is so young and has such cultivation; if he is cultivated a little, he might really become an existence like 'Old Huo.' Why don't we follow the original plan and let Zhang Kui or the Liu brothers go with you after the beast tide?" The woman didn't hide what she was thinking and frowned.
