Chapter 1412: Nightshade King

"Nightshade Race! Our human race and your noble race are not at war. Why are you harassing us treasure hunters for no reason and surrounding us?" The youth surnamed Zhu's face was somewhat livid, but seeing that the leader of the Nightshade race, whose cultivation base he could not see through, had flown away, he asked with a glimmer of luck in his heart.

"Do it!"

Among the remaining hundred or so Nightshade race members, the one with the strongest aura smiled enchantingly at the youth surnamed Zhu and the others, but spat out a cold slaughter order from her small mouth, without the slightest intention of explaining.

The surrounding male and female Nightshades immediately shook the weapons in their hands, releasing thick blade lights from various axes, halberds, and giant blades, slashing wildly at the ten or so people in the center from all directions.

This situation was just like the human cultivators joining forces to attack the Black Blood Ant swarm earlier, only the original besieged party had been replaced by the human side.

Although their numbers and strength were vastly different, the silver-haired youth was naturally not as vulnerable as that group of Black Blood Ants. Immediately, the ten or so human cultivators, in their panic, also released their strongest treasures, transforming into light rays of various colors to resist desperately. Among them, several who relied on their concealment and escape divine abilities even swayed their figures and vanished into the void, wanting to flee.

The youth surnamed Zhu, in his shock and anger, swayed his figure and arrived beside the beautiful woman. The two each stretched out a palm to hold hands, and immediately, blue and red light flashed on their bodies. Then, they each opened their mouths and spat out a small banner.

The two small banners, engraved with countless layers of unknown runes, shone with ten thousand rays of light as soon as they left their mouths. Then, the two merged, transforming into a giant red and blue light barrier, protecting them within.

Just at this moment, those blade lights drew white marks in the void and slashed over aggressively.

With a loud "rumbling" sound, the blade lights exploded completely.

The light rays formed by the human cultivators only managed to resist for a moment before being pierced and slashed through by the blade lights, completely submerged.

Screams were emitted one after another from the explosions.

But several giant blade lights did not join the attack, but suddenly shifted direction and slashed into several empty spots in the void not far from the center.

After white marks flashed past, blood appeared in the void, and several bodies split into two fell out.

These cultivators who had originally concealed their figures could not escape the locking of these Nightshade race members and were easily slashed to death.

At this time, the light in the center gradually dimmed, revealing the situation within.

They saw that of the original ten or so human cultivators, only five or six stood there, including the youth surnamed Zhu and his wife.

They had actually relied on the power of their protective treasures to withstand the joint strike of the Nightshade crowd. As for the others, they were naturally blasted into ashes.

And these giant banners of the silver-haired youth and his wife, as well as the several treasures floating in front of the others, were now dim in light, and some surfaces even showed fine cracks.

Clearly, they were all damaged and could not withstand another strike.

But the remaining cultivators, having seen the terrifying strike of the Nightshade crowd just now, would naturally not wait for death in place.

Immediately, the youth surnamed Zhu and the beautiful woman pointed at the two giant banners in front of them.

After the two banners spun, they shone brightly again, but immediately shook violently, and with two loud "booms," they exploded simultaneously.

Immediately, a red and a blue hurricane appeared out of thin air, instantly soaring into the sky!

The youth surnamed Zhu and the beautiful woman swayed their figures, surprisingly transforming into two rays of light and entering the two hurricanes. Then, they used their divine abilities to urge them, and the two hurricanes merged into one, transforming into a behemoth several hundred zhang tall, emitting a thunderous sound, charging aggressively toward the high sky.

The male and female Nightshades blocking the front, even though they were naturally ferocious, could not help but stir upon seeing the astonishing momentum of the hurricane.

The remaining few human cultivators were both shocked and happy, and they took this opportunity to transform into streaks of light, following closely behind the hurricane.

Clearly, these few people were also very clear that if they did not use this last line of survival, there would be no other way to live.

Wherever the blue and red hurricane passed, the nearby space blurred and twisted, showing its terrifying power. Just as this hurricane was about to crash into the Nightshade crowd, suddenly two giant black shadows appeared above the hurricane. Before the other few cultivators could discover what was happening, four loud "boom" sounds were emitted, and four invisible giant forces struck the hurricane at the same time.

Immediately, the hurricane trembled and was forcibly blocked in place.

It turned out that the two giant Nightshades, fifty or sixty zhang tall, which had been hovering behind the other Nightshades, had flashed and appeared on both sides of the hurricane, their four fists, which were like houses, striking simultaneously, surprisingly relying on giant force alone to hold back this hurricane.

The youth surnamed Zhu and the beautiful woman in the hurricane were naturally shocked. Without thinking, the two immediately flowed their entire body's magic power, and the blue and red hurricane shook and grew by a small half, charging forward forcefully again.

But the two existences like small mountains in the sky suddenly flashed red light in their eyes, and their four arms swayed, surprisingly becoming blurry.

Countless giant fist shadows appeared densely on both sides of the hurricane, and the next moment, they all struck the hurricane wildly.

The other cultivators nearby saw this, their hearts filled with horror, and their escape lights changed immediately, wanting to flee the vicinity.

But just at this moment, the sound of breaking air rose all around, and countless giant blade lights whistled over.

The hundred or so Nightshade race members all around had launched their second wave of attacks.

This time, not only did the remaining cultivators in the escape lights show expressions of despair, but the youth surnamed Zhu and the beautiful woman in the hurricane also turned bloodless.

A thunderous roar shook the entire world.

Deep underground, Han Li's body was flickering with gray light, escaping at an extremely fast speed.

Strangely, silver-gray light kept appearing around his body, continuously rubbing and intertwining with his protective gray light, then flickering layer by layer.

Han Li's expression was exceptionally solemn!

Although he had not rushed out of the ground with most of the people, the huge sound that came from the ground just now could be felt as a tremor even though he was so deep underground. It was clear how terrifying the explosion was.

Could it be that the other cultivators who rushed out were all killed?

Han Li thought with a chill in his heart.

Speaking of which, when the entire underground cave collapsed and the giant waves surged just now, others did not dare to use Earth Escape to escape from underground due to the spirit-magnetic ore vein, and could only rush out of the gap to the ground. But he possessed the Meta-Magnetic Divine Light, which could originally restrain the Five Elements and many magnetic restrictions in the world, so he could take the risk to escape by burrowing underground.

Plus, the moment the incident happened, his powerful spiritual sense immediately felt the powerful foreign race members appearing in the sky, so he did not dare to stay for a moment longer. Without thinking, he immediately activated the Meta-Magnetic Divine Light and burrowed underground to escape.

However, in the moment before burrowing underground, the nest of Green-Eyed True Toads rushed out from the depths of the cave, covered in wounds, and happened to run into Han Li.

With such a good thing coming to his door, he would naturally never let it go. Immediately, he spared no magic power and used all his divine abilities, exterminating these True Toads that were already at the end of their rope in one exchange, collecting their corpses, and immediately burrowing underground.

As for the Thousand-Heart Flower and other spiritual medicines mentioned by the youth surnamed Zhu, he had absolutely no time to search for them.

The power of the spirit-magnetic ore vein was even beyond Han Li's expectations. But his Meta-Magnetic Divine Light was also extraordinary; by borrowing the power of the Meta-Magnetic Mountain, he could barely protect himself and offset the giant suction force coming from deeper underground.

Although those foreign race members were powerful, within the range of the spirit-magnetic ore vein, they probably would not dare to easily burrow underground to track him.

Thinking this, Han Li felt slightly relieved.

Unfortunately, because of the spirit-magnetic ore vein, his spiritual sense could not detect the movement nearby underground, otherwise he would be even more at ease.

Just as Han Li's thoughts were turning, he had already traveled a full several thousand miles underground, and the silver light on his body began to dim gradually.

When the silver light finally vanished from his body surface, Han Li's expression stirred, feeling that it should be safe enough, and immediately swept his spiritual sense toward the ground.

Above was a strange place resembling a mountain valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one exit. It was lush and green everywhere, without any abnormalities, and he did not sense the aura of any powerful ancient beasts or foreign race members.

After Han Li searched repeatedly several times, he finally felt relieved and transformed into a green rainbow, shooting toward the ground.

The scene brightened, and after the light converged, he stopped in mid-air several tens of zhang off the ground.

But when Han Li swept his gaze around and his gaze fell on a certain spot nearby, his entire body felt a chill, and he became completely stunned.

He saw that on a giant tree a hundred zhang away, two tall evil-ghost-like Nightshades were standing there facing each other.

These two Nightshades both had giant wings on their backs and were over ten zhang tall. At this moment, both turned their heads to look over, their eyes showing great surprise.

But what made Han Li so horrified was not just because he saw two Nightshades, but because he could not sense the slightest aura from these two Nightshades. When his spiritual sense swept over, it was as if there was absolutely nothing on top of the giant tree.

Han Li naturally knew what this represented.

These two Nightshades were both existences whose cultivation bases far exceeded his; they were likely the so-called Nightshade Kings of the Nightshade race.

In this way, how could he not feel a chill throughout his body, even his breathing freezing up.

Just as Han Li was secretly complaining and the two Nightshades had not yet made any other moves, in another direction several hundred zhang away, light flashed, and another five-colored escape light shot out from underground; another cultivator appeared here.

Han Li was stunned and looked over; upon seeing this person clearly, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

This person was graceful and petite, stepping on a five-colored jade boat; it was surprisingly that female cultivator surnamed Xiao.

This woman was happy at first upon seeing Han Li and wanted to open her mouth to greet him, but when she swept her gaze and saw the two motionless high-tier Nightshades, her face turned somewhat pale.
