Chapter 1602

Han Li looked at the distant purple shadow and did not move to pursue. Net

Although he relied on the power of the sword formation to force back this Body Integration stage existence, he never believed that his divine ability was far superior to the other party's, to the point of being able to kill the old man. Moreover, with the other party's strange escape speed, he could not catch up in time.

Han Li also knew clearly. The reason the other party retreated was partly because he was hit by the Vitality Sword and was somewhat at a loss when facing the bleeding and the suppression of his cultivation base; on the other hand, the reputation of the Gold-Eating Beetles and the strong momentum he displayed at the end made the other party know that even if he risked a fight, the hope of defeating him was still very slim. That was why he had to flee temporarily.

In fact, if the old man relied on his movement technique to drag out the fight, neither the bleeding caused by the Vitality Sword nor the driving of the Gold-Eating Beetles could last long.

At that time, it would be hard to say who would win. Han Li did not want to fight the other party to the death for no reason.

Moreover, although this place was far enough from Green Light City, reinforcements from the Jiao Chi tribe could still arrive at any time.

This was also the reason why he didn't hesitate to withdraw the sword formation at the end and stake everything on the Vitality Sword. Compared to the threat the old man posed, he was more concerned about the Jiao Chi tribe's pursuers.

Seeing the old man disappear without a trace as a purple shadow under his spiritual eye's gaze.

Han Li did not hesitate to put away the sword formation and the treasures in his hand, and also transformed into a green thread, breaking through the air and leaving.

But the direction he fled naturally changed, shooting toward the side.

After a moment, the green thread disappeared at the edge of the sky.

The forest, which had been in a mess due to the fight, became quiet again.

But only a quarter of an hour later, spiritual light flashed in the sky, and two shocking rainbows appeared aggressively from the direction of Green Light City.

With just a few flashes, they arrived above the forest and began to circle.

The escape light converged, revealing two human shadows.

One was the old man surnamed Tu who had left earlier, now restored to his original form. The other was another Body Integration stage existence, the middle-aged man in the silver robe.

"He has indeed left. With this person's escape speed, this amount of time is enough to escape more than a hundred thousand miles in one breath," the old man said, scanning the ground below with great unwillingness.

"This is certain. This person is not a madman, so why would he stay here? At such a long distance, even using the Heaven Profound Compass would be useless. Moreover, the Heaven Profound Compass has already been used once today. It can only be used again in three days. I am a bit curious, how could a mere Void Refinement stage existence hurt Brother Tu?" The middle-aged man asked, looking at the giant pit below, lost in thought.

Upon hearing this question from the middle-aged man, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the old man's face, but after glancing at his shoulder, his expression instantly turned ferocious again.

"I was a bit careless. I accidentally fell into this person's sword formation. And the power of that sword formation is truly not to be underestimated. Plus, this person also knows several other powerful divine abilities and possesses extraordinary treasures. That's why I had to retreat. By the way, the other party has dozens of mature Gold-Eating Beetles."

"What? Gold-Eating Beetles!" Hearing the previous words, the middle-aged man, who had been indifferent, changed his expression drastically.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't necessarily have turned back in such a hurry," the old man said hatefully.

"If there are dozens, even a true Saint Race existence would have some fear if they encountered them. But as long as there aren't hundreds, using top-tier wood or stone treasures can temporarily trap the insects," the middle-aged man finally regained some composure after his expression changed several times.

"Hehe, if there were hundreds of mature Gold-Eating Beetles, I wouldn't dare to ask you to come back here with me; I would have fled long ago," the old man said with a bitter smile.

"If there were more mature Gold-Eating Beetle swarms, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands, I'm afraid that even a Saint Race existence would only meet their end if trapped. I heard that many years ago, a swarm of mature Gold-Eating Beetles appeared in a corner of the Thunderous Continent. The number once reached tens of thousands. As a result, three or four small tribes nearby were easily wiped out by the swarm. If it hadn't been for a super-large tribe at the time using the Heaven-Sky Treasure 'Heaven-Breaking Hammer' to forcibly open a space crack and exile all these spiritual insects to other spaces outside the Spirit Realm, perhaps more tribes would have suffered this disaster," the middle-aged man said slowly, lost in thought.

"But having said that, cultivating Gold-Eating Beetles is a matter that consumes a great deal of mental energy. I don't know how many generations of effort it would take to succeed by luck. They are one of the most difficult spiritual insects to cultivate. This person can drive dozens of them at once; I don't know what kind of power he comes from. Is he from the Thirteen Tribes of Tianyun?" The middle-aged man suddenly remembered something and asked with a flicker of expression.

"No. The magic tools I carry with me have no corresponding reaction. His appearance is also truly ordinary; I don't know which tribe he belongs to," the old man recalled for a moment and finally shook his head.

"If that's the case, it's a bit troublesome. If he really has the jade box on him, it will be very difficult for us to retrieve it," the middle-aged man's brows furrowed.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, how many boxes did you get?" The old man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked.

"I got two. That ancient human was also cunning enough to use destroying the box as a threat to escape. But he didn't think about my Blood-Transforming Divorce Technique, which is best at sneak attacks. I subdued him as soon as I made a move, and that's how I searched them out," the middle-aged man said, flipping one hand, and two identical jade boxes appeared in his palm, both with prohibition talismans attached.

The big-headed alien, after distributing one jade box to Han Li and the others, actually kept two for himself.

The old man nodded, also shook his sleeve, and took out a jade box. It was the one he had obtained from the green-skinned person.

"If that's the case, we have three in our hands. The news from Hong Mie said that the ancient human should have had a few?" The old man asked, staring at his companion, not knowing if he had truly forgotten or wanted to confirm again.

"Five! His news wasn't very accurate either," the middle-aged man said after hesitating.

"Five or six. This is truly a troublesome number. That means this person has at least one on him," the old man sighed.

"I'm afraid that's the case. And this person's divine ability is so great; it seems Hong Mie must have died at his hands. Whether for private or public reasons, we cannot let this person run away," the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with cold light, and his voice became gloomy.

"But this person has no trace now; how can we catch up with him again?" The old man asked suspiciously.

"We can't do it alone. But Brother Tu, don't forget. Most of the cities in this area have fallen into our tribe's hands. We will immediately use the Ten-Thousand-Mile Talisman to send messages to the nearest cities, asking them to assist in blocking the main roads. And send out a large number of people to search for this person. The people sent don't need to have high cultivation; as long as they stir the grass and startle the snake, exposing this person's tracks, that will be enough. Then we will use the teleportation array to rush over," the middle-aged man thought quite comprehensively and suggested in one breath.

"Hmm, this method can be tried," although the old man surnamed Tu felt that the hope was not very high, he couldn't think of any other better way, so he nodded in agreement.

Then the old man shook his sleeve, and a green stone piece suddenly appeared in his hand.

The old man quickly wrote something on the stone piece with his finger, and rows of pale golden characters immediately appeared on it.

After a moment, the old man finished writing and patted the stone piece with one hand.

Instantly, as the rosy light flashed, those characters disappeared one after another.

"Let's return to the warship first. That ancient human installed a self-destruct magic array under the city. But it was discovered by the detection magic tool on the warship and someone was called to remove it. But there are still many aftermaths to deal with. It will be enough to keep the two of us busy for a while," the middle-aged man smiled slightly.

"That's all we can do for now!" The old man naturally had no objections.

So the two of them rose again and shot toward where they came from. After a while, they flew away without a trace.

Han Li flew a million miles in one breath, and only after confirming that the Jiao Chi tribe people could no longer catch up with him did he finally pause his escape light and continue at a normal speed.

But after such a long flight, even Han Li felt somewhat unable to bear it.

Immediately, while in the escape light, he brushed his storage bracelet with one hand, and two emerald-green crystals appeared in his hand.

The crystals were two top-tier wood-attribute spirit stones.

Although these spirit stones were rare, now that he was in a dangerous situation, Han Li did not hesitate to grab one in each hand and began to absorb the spiritual power within them.

Fortunately, the surrounding area was all extremely desolate. Han Li found a mountain peak at random, landed, and sat cross-legged under an extremely hidden large tree, beginning to restore his magic power with all his heart.

Although the Chun Li Sword Formation was extremely powerful, the consumption of magic power was also not to be underestimated.

Especially the final slash of the Vitality Sword, which almost caused him to lose his original power.

In the following time, no escape light passed by the mountain peak where Han Li sat cross-legged.

When half a day passed, Han Li's magic power had also recovered seven or eight-tenths.

When Han Li happily opened his eyes, he had no intention of staying here any longer. He put away the spirit stones in his hand and instantly transformed into a green rainbow, shooting into the sky again.

But after this shocking rainbow flew out more than a hundred zhang, it flashed strangely, becoming blurry and indistinct, as if it were there and yet not there.

While in the escape light, Han Li took out a jade slip.

It was the map of the nearby area he had asked Qing Xiao for before he was teleported from the Fire Coral Islands to Green Light City.

Although her Fire Coral Sea area had not been connected to the Thunderous Continent for many years, the things on the map generally would not have any major changes.

Han Li immersed his spiritual sense into the jade slip and began to look for a suitable road.

Although he did not know the distribution of the Jiao Chi tribe in this area, he was certain he would not go to the nearby cities. Instead, he planned to bypass other cities and head straight for the largest city of the Thirteen Tribes of Tianyun in this area, "Golden Armor City."

It is said that because this city's location is too important, it is not only the largest city of the Thirteen Tribes of Tianyun in this area but also the largest fortress and dangerous pass in this region, with a large number of elite troops of the Thirteen Tribes stationed there for a long time. At the same time, a large number of high-level existences guard this place.

If the map markings were all correct, the Jiao Chi tribe could never attack this city immediately before clearing out other nearby cities.

After making up his mind, Han Li looked at the several scorching suns in the sky, recalibrated his direction, and urged his escape light, shooting straight toward the distance.
