Chapter 1519: Bait

One of the six-legged beings immediately scanned the area where Mu Qing was hiding with his spiritual sense upon seeing this scene, and his eyes lit up as a result!

"Excellent! Fellow Daoist Mu's 'Chaotic Leaf' restriction of the Tianhua is truly marvelous. As long as that Nether Thunder Beast isn't deliberately searching this area, it truly cannot detect us." The six-legged one spoke with joy evident on his face, then greeted the others and flew toward the green light curtain.

The two blood-robed men, the purple-blood puppet, and the white-haired beautiful lady all followed suit.

With a flash of green light, a group of people strangely vanished into the void.

Only Han Li remained alone at the original spot.

But after a moment, the black pearl between his eyebrows flashed, and he slowly flew upward above the black light curtain, hovering there motionless in midair.

Under the concealment of the restriction, the six-legged ones and several other demon kings each took out a blood-red short dagger from their persons.

No longer than three feet, the blade edges were curled, and the design was extraordinarily peculiar.

Upon a greeting, several people poured their demonic power into the blood blades in their hands. Instantly, the blood light blazed forth, trembling continuously, like blood snakes writhing and swaying in their grasp.

The blood blades emitted a low hum, and several demon kings assumed postures of stored power, ready to strike.

No one noticed that, amid the seemingly wooden Han Li in the air, the two palms hidden in his sleeves moved slightly.

At that moment, spiritual light flashed in his hand, and a silver-colored talisman appeared in one palm, while the other hand silently rolled out seven or eight green-colored beads.

Han Li had not actually lost his spiritual sense; he still retained independent consciousness.

However, at this time, he was simultaneously resentful in his heart and extremely hesitant.

Earlier, when he was restrained by Mu Qing and others and a thread of black light shot into his body, he had also believed he truly could not escape this calamity.

But he never expected that the black light only blurred his spiritual sense for a moment, and once the black pearl was embedded between his eyebrows, the Destruction Law Eye hidden in his skull spontaneously activated, completely absorbing the incessant streams of spiritual-black silk emanating from the black pearl.

This caused his spiritual sense to instantly become clear as before.

Han Li himself was somewhat bewildered, but when the six-legged one said the pearl was made from the third lesson of the Zi Lie Ferocious Beast's demonic eyes, he suddenly understood.

Possessing the Destruction Law Eye, he could naturally neutralize and absorb divine abilities emanating from treasures of the same origin—this was no surprise.

Even though the six-legged one was deeply scheming and ruthless in his methods, he had never imagined that Han Li himself cultivated the Destruction Law Eye.

Upon turning his thoughts, Han Li immediately decided to play along with the scheme, seeing if he could use the appearance of being controlled to seek an opportunity to escape.

Yet he never expected that the six-legged ones would actually have him lure something called a "Nether Thunder Beast."

Although Han Li had never heard this name before, even the six-legged ones showed extreme fear, indicating how ferocious this beast must be.

Given his own intentions, he naturally did not want to be this sacrificial pawn one hundred and twenty percent, but now, under the tiger-like gazes of several demon kings, any slight abnormality would likely be noticed immediately by the six-legged ones and others.

They naturally would still have the Zi Lie Eye as a means to control spiritual sense, and if other secret techniques were used to control him, it would truly be disastrous.

Although the Fan Sheng True Demon Technique can bind spiritual sense within the soul, if the opponent becomes enraged and furious, the fate of soul flying apart and spirit scattering would not be much better.

Han Li's face showed no expression, but his thoughts raced nonstop, while he simultaneously felt the surging abnormal spiritual power within his body.

He did not know what kind of blood talisman the Blood Old Monster had given him, but as his blood heated, his internal spiritual power instantly surged by nearly half. This startled Han Li somewhat!

Although such temporary cultivation-boosting secret techniques usually come with some side effects, given the current extreme danger, increasing his cultivation somewhat was not necessarily a bad thing.

Furthermore...

In Han Li's hand gripping the silver-colored talisman, there was another flash, and a small white, misty banner about an inch long also appeared.

It was precisely that "Qiankun Banner"!

This banner looked utterly unremarkable, but judging from the six-legged one's words and the white-haired beautiful lady's reluctant demeanor, one could see how precious this object was.

I do not know whether this treasure itself cannot be refined, or whether the white-haired beautiful lady deliberately refrained from refining it, leaving no trace of spiritual sense imprinted upon it. And when Han Li swept his spiritual sense over the small banner, he discovered that this object was ***extremely simple and should be able to easily unleash its power.

Since the six-legged one had the white-haired beautiful lady hand this treasure to him, it clearly could resist the Nether Thunder Beast to some extent; otherwise, there would be no need for such trouble.

With this treasure in addition to his own prepared countermeasures, in a situation where he was wholeheartedly fleeing for his life, there was indeed a chance to escape from the jaws of the Nether Thunder Beast. This Nether Thunder Beast should not have exceptionally fast escape speed, and thus could allow him a chance to flee a certain distance.

Otherwise, why would the six-legged ones and others go to such trouble?

And if, upon some anomaly, he were seen through by the several demon kings, although it would not be said that there is no chance to escape, with a mark inside his body, where could he truly flee to? It would be better to take a risk and continue the disguise.

As long as he could escape the pursuit of the Nether Thunder Beast and separate from these demon kings, he could temporarily suppress the mark, turning from open to covert. Then, seizing the opportunity, he could take Yuan Yao and Yan Li away to safety, thus ultimately preserving his life.

Han Li's face showed no expression, but his heart had finally made a decision.

And just at this moment, the six-legged ones below finally made their move.

After a low shout, several blood blades trembled, and simultaneously spat out several thick streams of blood light, fiercely striking the black light curtain.

Obviously, these blood blades were treasures specially prepared by several demon kings to deal with this restriction.

As soon as the blood light touched the light curtain, it instantly resembled several stones dropped into a water surface.

The entire light curtain suddenly rippled, and as the blood light continuously struck it, the light curtain itself emitted a humming sound!

Suddenly, a low, deep beast roar came from within the light curtain, followed by thunderous sounds that grew louder and closer.

"That thing has come—quickly withdraw!" The six-legged one's face darkened, he stopped the blood light in his hand, and urgently whispered.

The blood-robed people and the beautiful lady, etc., felt their hearts tighten, and also shook their wrists, ceasing their attack.

Almost simultaneously, after Mu Qing's blood blade flashed and disappeared, he made a hand seal with both hands. The lower half of his body, transformed into a tree, flashed with green light, activating the restriction beneath his feet.

Invisible power surged, completely concealing everyone's breath without a trace.

From afar, this place appeared empty and still, as if everything remained exactly as it was when the six-legged ones first arrived.

And at this moment, the black light between Han Li's eyebrows flashed, and through the refined Destruction Law Eye, he received the command sent out by the six-legged one.

Han Li, utterly wooden in expression, clenched both hands into fists***—with a crackling sound, a layer of golden-colored electric arc emerged from within his body, enveloping his entire form. Then, shaking his sleeve, the white-colored small banner flew out.

This banner required no hand seal to activate; it instantly transformed into a stream of black-and-white qi that coiled up and down around Han Li.

Amid the interweaving of black and white colors in the spiritual qi, faintly appeared large and small Taiji patterns, marvelously extraordinary!

Simultaneously behind him, blue-white light flickered, and his feathered wings unfolded, becoming crystalline and extraordinary, trembling slightly without cease.

Han Li appeared ready to set off together with a prepared stance.

Not far away, the surface of the black light curtain flashed with silver light, and suddenly was torn open by a thick, water-jar-thick silver arc.

This silver arc rotated once in midair, inside which something faintly seemed to exist.

Before Han Li could examine it closely, his spiritual sense immediately received an anxious urging from the six-legged one. It actually urged him to spare no expense and urgently flee for his life.

Han Li, upon receiving this order, didn't even think about it as he spread his wings behind him, a gentle breeze blowing, and he vanished into the wind where he stood.

At this moment, the silver arc's light dimmed, revealing a black 'colored' monstrous beast the size of a colt.

This beast was not particularly large in size, resembling a great wolf in appearance, but its back was covered in scales, it had a silver 'colored' horn on its head, its eyes were golden yellow, and its four limbs were entwined with silver 'colored' lightning arcs.

This was precisely the "Nether Lightning Beast" that the Six Legged and others feared greatly.

Though this beast did not look particularly fierce, when Fang Yi appeared, its eyes were instantly drawn to Han Li, who had fled several hundred zhang away. No, it should be said that it was drawn to the Warding Evil Divine Lightning on Han Li's body.

The Nether Lightning Beast's originally gloomy eyes, upon seeing the golden 'colored' lightning arcs appearing on Han Li's body, immediately became intensely fiery.

The beast swept its eyes around, found nothing unusual, let out a low growl, moved its limbs, and instantly transformed into a silver arc that shot 'forth'.

I do not know what escape technique this beast used, but its limbs burst with silver arcs, thunderclaps continuous, and in a single dash, it covered over a hundred zhang in distance; after just a few flashes, it was about to catch up to Han Li.

Although Han Li did not turn his head, he naturally sensed the beast's approaching menace.

His heart tightened immediately, and he couldn't help but curse silently.

The beast's escape speed was not fast, perhaps only in the eyes of the Six Legged and others. To him, it was still absolutely a lethal threat.

He no longer dared to conceal anything; his originally snow-white feathered wings suddenly transformed—one into five 'colored' spiritual light, the other into a vast expanse of green mist. As both wings flapped simultaneously,

Han Li instantly turned into a five 'colored' crystal thread, flashing into the nearby void and disappearing.

Another flash, and he emerged from the void, now at an extremely distant place.

In terms of escape speed, he was hardly slower than the Nether Lightning Beast behind him.

The two, one ahead and one behind, in the blink of an eye reached the edge of the sky; after a few frantic flashes, their traces vanished completely.

After a short while, a green light flashed, and the Six Legged beautiful 'woman' and others flickered into view.

"Hurry up and attack, Han Li won't buy us much time. Quickly break the restriction!" the Six Legged urged anxiously.

Several people's blood blades flashed, and again several streaks of blood light slashed out.

This time, as soon as the blood light spewed forth, it instantly turned into several blood flood dragons, baring fangs and claws as they lunged straight out.

Their power was clearly far superior to last time.

When a huge insect shadow flashed above the Six Legged's head, it opened its mouth and spat out, a black 'colored' light pillar shooting 'forth'.

The purple blood puppet, under the summons of the blood-robed person, swelled its body to several times its size.

Mu Qing, this woman, had her lower half submerged in the ground via the roots she was in, which instantly contracted and restored. In the blink of an eye, she was no different from an ordinary person.

Next, she slightly blurred the blood blade in her hand and swiftly waved it a few times toward the void.

With a "pfft" sound, several streaks of blood light surged out, but then linked together, forming a huge blade of light that slashed forward.
