Chapter 1651
The leading demonic bird saw this situation, its four eyes rotating simultaneously, and after its gaze swept over Han Li, who was motionless in the distance, it vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
After a moment of hesitation, it suddenly let out a sharp cry from its mouth, wanting to summon its four subordinates back.
But the slight delay just now was already too late.
Han Li had set up the Sword Array to be over a hundred zhang wide, and those four demonic birds were not slow in their escape speed; after flapping their wings a few times, they plunged headlong into the Chunli Sword Array.
Only seeing a flash of green light, a layer of light screen suddenly emerged, instantly shrouding all four demonic birds behind it.
These four demonic birds were greatly startled, their figures circling one after another, and they clawed at the light screen with cold-glinting talons.
But as soon as several claws grabbed onto the light wall, only a few crisp sounds were heard!
The light screen shattered like glass.
The four demonic birds were overjoyed, but immediately became dumbfounded.
Because behind the light screen was not the place they had originally flown from as they had imagined, but a strange space filled with green lotus flowers.
These green lotuses were only the size of a thumb, but they were densely packed, blocking the way ahead.
The four demonic birds looked at each other, and one of them suddenly opened its mouth, spraying out a milky-white pillar of light.
Only seeing the light pillar flash and disappear, it struck solidly onto several green lotuses.
But after a muffled "bang," those few green lotuses not only did not collapse and disappear, but instead flashed and swelled several times in size, becoming the size of a fist.
Seeing this scene, these demonic birds were greatly startled.
The entire Chunli Sword Array was also triggered by this attack, its power activated.
Not only in front of them, but the light screens in other directions also shattered and disappeared on their own, all revealing countless green lotuses.
And these lotus flowers just spun around, suddenly flashing with strange light.
The four demonic birds only felt the scene before them blur slightly, and with a darkness above their heads, they found themselves in a forest of giant green trees.
Each tree was over a hundred zhang tall, looking as if one could not see the top at a glance, and the dense branches and leaves almost completely covered the entire sky.
The four demonic birds were actually at the very bottom of these giant trees.
At this, the demonic birds were not a little startled.
One must know that for flying avian creatures like them, they most feared being in spaces like forests or rivers; once their movement was restricted, even the greatest divine abilities would be weakened by more than half for no reason.
Immediately, the four demonic birds raised their wings almost simultaneously.
Suddenly, four clusters of white-hot flames flew out from their bodies, and then after a few "puchi" sounds, they burst open, turning into hundreds of palm-sized white fire butterflies, flying toward the surrounding giant trees.
These white flames were the trump card abilities of these demonic birds; they had originally thought that these giant trees would naturally be swept away instantly like withered wood.
But when the fire butterflies pounced on these green trees, they just blurred slightly and then passed through them as if they were nothing, having no effect at all.
"Illusion!"
These demonic birds also had the cultivation of the early Void Refinement stage; although their intelligence was not as high as the leader's, it was not low either, and they suddenly realized it.
One of them, being somewhat impatient, pounced fiercely toward one of the giant trees without saying a word.
However, things transformed by the Chunli Sword Array were not comparable to ordinary illusions; they were true and false, with reality within the void and void within reality.
After a loud bang, as soon as the demonic bird hit the giant tree, it was immediately bounced back.
This giant tree was as hard as refined steel and could not be damaged in the slightest.
And even though this demonic bird's physical body was considered strong, after shaking its head to stabilize its figure, it felt its head splitting with pain and saw stars before its eyes.
The other three demonic birds saw this situation and could not help but be dumbfounded.
Outside the magic array, the snow-white demonic bird saw its four subordinates suddenly disappear after being separated by the light screen. Naturally, it was both shocked and angry!
It let out a loud cry, its wings suddenly spread, and after a "whoosh" sound, a white ring of light suddenly emerged from its body.
Following this, its snow-white feathers instantly turned into raging flames.
Unlike the four black-and-white demonic birds, these white flames actually had silver runes rolling and flashing within them, and the temperature in the nearby space rose by more than ten times, filled with an unbelievable high temperature.
The originally hidden Chunli Sword Array was forced to flash with spiritual light under this high temperature, reappearing as a green light screen.
"Brother Han, be careful! It's the True Fire of the Golden Crow; don't let it get close to you. This demonic bird might possess some bloodline of the True Spirit Golden Crow!" Xian Xian, who had originally shown joy because Han Li had trapped the four demonic birds, saw the strange white fire displayed by the leading demonic bird and her expression changed suddenly as she sent a voice transmission to warn him.
"True Fire of the Golden Crow!" Han Li remained calm on the surface, but was overjoyed in his heart.
At this moment, the demonic bird opposite had completely transformed into a giant fire bird, pouncing straight toward Han Li with great momentum.
Before it had even flown in, a wave of fire rolled over; Han Li only felt red dots in the nearby air, and countless bean-sized crimson fire seedlings emerged out of thin air.
With Han Li as the center, it seemed as if the space within dozens of zhang had been completely ignited.
Han Li saw this situation but turned a blind eye to this strange phenomenon, only taking a deep breath and suddenly spraying from his mouth.
A cluster of silver fireballs sprayed out, and after flashing a few times, it turned into a silver fire bird about a foot long.
As soon as this fire bird appeared, the silver flames on its body flashed, and those red fire seedlings that had just emerged shot toward this bird like moths to a flame.
They all sank into the fire bird's body and disappeared without a trace.
The originally scorching high temperature disappeared without a trace.
Following this, the silver fire bird's volume swelled by a small half, and with a movement of its figure, it headed toward the white-flame-rolling demonic bird opposite.
Although the demonic bird had also transformed into a fire bird body, its size was almost seven or eight times that of the silver fire bird. But the silver fire bird showed no fear at all.
When the demonic bird saw the silver fire bird appear, the expression on its face became extremely strange.
There was both fear and surprise, but more than that, it was an undisguised look of greed.
Seeing the silver flames heading toward it, the demonic bird's four eyes flashed slightly, seemingly hesitant, but the next moment, its gaze was filled with madness again.
Immediately, it let out two wild cries, the flames on its body rose by several feet, and then it pounced toward the incoming Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird without hesitation.
After a loud "bang," the two collided in the next moment.
Immediately, white fire and silver flames intertwined, and the two fire birds fought together.
Regardless of whether it was white fire or silver flames, when the two touched, they erupted with strange "cracking" sounds, as if water and fire were incompatible, bursting incessantly.
With the silver fire bird's small body, it did not fall behind in the collision with the demonic bird's huge body.
As the two flames intertwined, they actually devoured each other incessantly.
One moment the silver flames were devouring the white fire they touched, and the next moment the white fire was completely wrapping the silver flames inside.
However, Han Li only watched for a moment before his pupils shrank slightly.
He had already seen that even though the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire's power exceeded the opponent's by a notch, because the quantity was too small, he feared that after a moment, it would be devoured by the opponent's flames instead.
He naturally would not let this happen.
Only seeing him suddenly pinch a spell with both hands, one finger pointed toward the void in the distance.
After a "puchi" sound, green light pillars as thick as fingers sprayed out, and with just a flash, they sank into the silver fire bird that was fighting.
These light pillars were as thick as night, and the color was even more unusually green; they were actually all transformed from Han Li's pure true essence.
An astonishing thing happened.
The silver fire bird began to grow in size.
Two feet, four feet, half a zhang, one zhang...
In almost the time of a few breaths, the silver fire bird actually transformed into three or four zhang long, its huge size surpassing the zhang-sized demonic bird.
As a result, the white fire was instantly at a disadvantage under the counter-wrapping of the silver flames.
The white fire was devoured bit by bit by the silver flames.
The fire bird transformed by the demonic bird saw this, and a look of fear suddenly appeared on its face; as its four eyes flashed, it suddenly opened its mouth and actually sprayed out a milky-white round bead.
It was flawless and white, emitting a blinding white light.
It was precisely the demonic core that this demonic bird had cultivated for who knows how many years; at this moment, seeing that the situation was not good, it sprayed it out directly.
This demonic core was only the size of a fist, but after being sprayed out, the white light it emitted instantly turned into thousands of fine needles, and with a shake, it split into two parts on its own.
One part instantly shot toward the Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird, instantly piercing the silver fire bird's body with a thousand holes.
The other part shot straight toward Han Li, and after a flash, it struck the green light screen.
One did not know what kind of incredible ability these fine needles possessed, as they easily pierced through the green light screen, and after another flash, they suddenly appeared in front of Han Li, shooting toward his whole body like a storm.
Han Li raised his eyebrows, his figure motionless, but the crystal shield floating in front of his body suddenly shook, and crystal light shone brightly.
Those fine needles struck it, and one after another, they changed direction, sliding past the two sides of the shield and shooting into the void.
Almost at the same time, Han Li grabbed backward with one arm without looking back.
A five-colored skull phantom flashed, and five rays of light of different colors sprayed out, condensing into a five-colored flame, sweeping those needles that had missed into it.
Following the rolling of the flames, these fine needles disappeared without a trace.
And on the other side, the Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird was being continuously pierced by hundreds of the same fine needles.
Although the silver flames on its body flashed and its body recovered as before, it was naturally impossible for it to be truly unscathed, and its power was naturally greatly reduced.
The demonic bird's True Fire of the Golden Crow was once again in a stalemate with the silver flames.
Han Li saw this scene, his expression moved, and he suddenly pinched a spell with both hands, his body suddenly rolling toward the ground.
In an instant, five-colored light shone brightly, followed by a phoenix cry that went straight to the nine heavens, and a five-colored phoenix two zhang long appeared where Han Li had been standing.
This phoenix suddenly slashed one wing in front of its body, and a white line appeared in the void, followed by a slight twist of this line in the air, revealing a white, misty crack.
The colorful phoenix flapped its wings, and its figure plunged halfway into it, disappearing without a trace.
And at the same time, above the sky where the demonic bird and the Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird were trembling incessantly, a white line appeared strangely as well.
This line opened silently, and the upper half of the colorful phoenix poked out.
