Chapter 1535: Casting Spells to Remove the Affliction

Two hours later, the massive array below was still being set up.

For such a long time, even though Han Li was usually confident, he felt a trace of anxiety.

After all, time was extremely pressing for him now. Liu Zu and the others could trigger the mark in his body at any time.

However, Han Li himself was also proficient in array dao and knew the complexity of setting up such a massive array. Therefore, he suppressed the worry in his heart and waited silently in mid-air.

After about another cup of tea's time, Yuan Yao and the other woman flew up from the ground and arrived before Han Li.

Yan Li said with a full face of smiles:

"Brother Han, the array has been set up. It can gather Yin Qi for you to drive out the mark in your body."

Han Li was overjoyed and was just about to reply to the woman when his expression suddenly turned pale, his body trembled, and cyan light rippled across his body.

"This is..." The two women were startled, and Yuan Yao exclaimed.

"Someone has triggered the mark. I just don't know which of those few demon kings it is." Golden light flashed on Han Li's body, and he stood firm again, his voice sinking as he said.

At the same time he spoke, the spiritual pressure in his body fluctuated high and low, appearing extremely unstable.

The two women looked at each other, both showing looks of worry.

"It's fine! I can still suppress this mark for now. If I drive out the triggered mark one step at a time, it will be fine." Han Li gave a forced smile and waved his hand, saying so.

"Brother Han's words make sense. Senior Sister, let's cast the spell quickly." Yuan Yao let out a light breath and said.

"Hmm, that is natural. However, there is one thing my sister and I haven't mentioned to Brother Han yet. This Yin Qi infusion secret technique was originally used on ghost cultivators and ghost creatures. Brother Han, as a human, receiving the infusion of Yin Qi, your physical body will have to endure intense pain. If you are not careful, it is possible to faint on the spot. But once you faint, without Brother Han's own guidance of the Yin Qi, the spell-casting will fail. Does Brother Han understand what this little sister means?" Yan Li said solemnly.

"Intense pain? Rest assured, if nothing else, Han has some confidence in his own physical body." Han Li laughed and said nonchalantly.

Han Li's words were not an exaggeration at all. His physical body was now strong to an unimaginable degree. He had successively practiced several types of physical body tempering secret techniques, and coupled with his own many fortuitous encounters, he had constantly tempered it with various spiritual medicines. Things that would be fatal injuries to others' bodies could be completely ignored by him.

Seeing Han Li so confident, Yan Li nodded and immediately greeted Han Li to land at the array eye below, which was the hill.

The top of the hill was only a small flat area about ten zhang in size.

And a small array, an array within an array, had already been set up here.

The three of them walked into this small array side-by-side.

Han Li sat cross-legged in the center, and the two women sat slightly behind on both sides.

When Han Li slowly closed his eyes, the two women simultaneously opened their mouths and spat out a pitch-black round bead.

As the round beads swirled, they shot toward the two ends of the small array, and after a flash, they were embedded into two pre-prepared grooves in the array.

Then, as the two women cast spells simultaneously, the array instantly began to hum!

Masses of black glow emerged from all parts of the array, rippling outward in waves.

In an instant, with the hill as the center, the entire massive array was triggered.

Masses of Yin Qi soared into the sky from all parts of the array, and under the effect of the restriction power, they spun rapidly, actually forming a massive vortex in the high sky over a hundred zhang up.

The area of this vortex was so vast that it could engulf the entire massive array and still have room to spare, making anyone who saw it feel their heart tremble.

Under the massive suction of the vortex, whether it was Yin Qi in the sky or buried deep underground, it transformed into strands of black gas, surging out incessantly and being sucked into the black hole. This made the black vortex even more massive and expanded the range of Yin Qi attraction even further.

If Han Li were to look toward the high sky at this moment, he could see masses of black glow spinning rapidly at the center of the vortex, constantly stirring the various Yin Qi and then fusing them together.

Within it, a pitch-black sphere was slowly taking shape.

Within the pitch-black sphere, an astonishing spiritual pressure was faintly radiating, appearing to contain a powerful force, and it seemed as if it could fall down from the vortex at any moment.

Yuan Yao and Yan Li chanted obscure and profound incantations in low voices, casting spells incessantly with both hands, striking one spell after another into their own small arrays, thereby causing the vortex in the sky to spin faster and faster.

In just a moment, the amount of Yin Qi absorbed by the vortex was shocking.

Just at this moment, ghost whistling sounds suddenly rang out from the distant surroundings. The sounds of ghost crying were incessant, one after another, as if countless ghost creatures were attracted by the black vortex in the sky and were gathering toward this side.

Yuan Yao frowned slightly upon hearing the ghost whistling.

Although she didn't sense any powerful ghost creatures nearby from their aura, if so many ghost creatures were to impact the array at a critical moment of spell-casting, it would be no laughing matter.

It seemed they had underestimated the fatal attraction of pure Yin Qi to ghost creatures.

But before this woman could stand up and want to exterminate these low-tier ghost creatures first, Han Li, who was sitting in front, suddenly shook his sleeve toward the sky, actually offering up a pitch-black spirit beast ring.

As the ring swirled in mid-air, a golden light and a mass of black light shot out.

After the light converged, a small beast like a leopard and a small pitch-black monkey appeared.

They were exactly the Soul-Crying Beast and the advanced Leopard-Lin Beast!

The moment the two beasts appeared, under Han Li's spiritual sense urging, one transformed into a giant ape over ten zhang tall amidst flashing black light, taking large strides and leaping toward one side.

The other flickered, manifesting over a dozen afterimages, and flashed toward the other side without a trace.

Yuan Yao was startled to see this, but Yan Li smiled and opened her mouth:

"Junior Sister Yuan, don't worry. Brother Han was able to save us from the Ghost Matron and the others; his divine abilities can be imagined. He naturally has ways to drive away these low-tier ghost creatures and won't disturb our spell-casting."

"Senior Sister is right; it was Yuan'er who worried too much." Yuan Yao smiled beautifully.

"Miss Yan thinks too highly of Han. However, mere ghost creatures are indeed not worth worrying about." Han Li smiled slightly and said without opening his eyes.

And just at this moment, heaven-shaking ape cries rang out from the distance, rolling over with majestic power, and the ghost creatures' cries instantly stopped, leaving no sound at all.

On the other side, countless ghost creatures let out screams and wails, the ghost whistling became chaotic, and then the whistling seemed to become exceptionally fearful, fleeing rapidly, and finally vanishing without a sound.

"It seems Brother Han's two spirit beasts are truly extraordinary, actually driving away those ghost creatures so quickly." Yan Li showed surprise.

Although she believed these ghost creatures definitely weren't the two spirit beasts' opponents, doing it so quickly still made her somewhat surprised.

Han Li smiled upon hearing this.

That Leopard-Lin Beast might have only exterminated a small portion of the ghost creatures and driven most of them away. As for the Soul-Crying Beast's side, all the low-tier ghost creatures were likely in that beast's belly.

Thinking this in his heart, Han Li didn't respond to this, but instead said:

"I have already adjusted the meridians in my body, and the Yin Qi in the sky has gathered quite a bit; it should be enough for spell-casting. Let's begin! Only one demon king is triggering the mark now; if two or more trigger it, I won't be able to suppress it anymore."

"Hmm, it is indeed about time. Junior Sister, cast the spell." Yan Li looked at the vortex in the sky, narrowed her eyes, and said solemnly.

Yuan Yao nodded solemnly, with no intention of opposing.

Thus, black glow flashed in the two women's hands, and each of them had a pitch-black banner about a foot long, which they tossed to both sides of the array. They transformed into two massive black banners standing outside the array.

Then the two women cast spells again.

A "rumbling" humming sound immediately came from high above, and following that, a flash of light appeared on the surface of the giant black sphere within the vortex. As it slowly rotated, two streams of black light actually wrapped around two streams of thick, liquid-like black Qi, which rolled downwards and submerged directly into the two giant banners, disappearing without a trace.

Behind Han Li, Yuan Yao and Yan Li had black gas rolling on their bodies, and a powerful, direct spiritual pressure radiated from them.

The two women let out a soft shout, raised both hands simultaneously, and flicked their fingers incessantly toward Han Li's back.

"Chi-chi" sounds of breaking air erupted, and countless black threads probed out from the women's fingertips, submerging into Han Li's hands in a flash.

Han Li's body trembled slightly, but he accepted it as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Yao and Yan Li looked at each other, both seeing a look of admiration in the other's eyes.

But the women's fingers didn't stop, and densely packed black threads shot out like a violent storm, instantly submerging into all parts of Han Li's body.

But Han Li, other than a slight flash of cyan light on his body, showed no abnormality at all. At this, Yuan Yao and Yan Li were not just admiring; they couldn't help but gasp.

You must know that when the two of them had the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder submerge into their bodies, they had almost fainted from the intense pain in an instant.

The amount of Yin Qi Han Li was now enduring was already far beyond the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder they had endured, and the two women couldn't help but hesitate.

"Continue the Yin Qi infusion; I can already feel these marks moving slightly."

Just when the two women were somewhat hesitant, Han Li's cold voice rang out.

Hearing Han Li say this, Yan Li took a deep breath, nodded to Yuan Yao, and immediately urged her secret technique.

Black gas rolled on her body, rising to double its height. Following this, it condensed together, transforming into a dazzling black light, completely engulfing the woman's figure.

Yuan Yao hesitated slightly on the side, but after glancing at Han Li's back and seeing him sitting steadily, appearing as if it were fine, she also cast the spell, and black glow appeared on her body as well.

A moment later, with two "puff" sounds, two pitch-black light pillars sprayed out from the two masses of black glow, submerging into Han Li's body in a flash.

With such a massive amount of Yin Qi being infused into his body, even Han Li couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his body swayed, and cyan light flashed on his body surface.
