Chapter 1670: Punishment Beast

However, just as the golden light on his body began to flicker, a cry came from his sleeve, filled with excitement and anxiety.

Han Li was stunned, his expression becoming extremely strange, but after his gaze flickered for a few moments, he decisively flicked his sleeve.

A strange whistling sound of "woo-woo" erupted.

A pitch-black ring flew out from his sleeve, and after circling once, a stream of dark light shot out from the ring.

As the light converged, a pitch-black small monkey appeared before Han Li.

It was precisely the Soul-Crying Beast!

However, at this moment, the Soul-Crying Beast was clearly different from usual. It didn't wait for Han Li to urge it with his divine sense, but suddenly let out a violent roar, its body's black light flowing, its size expanding wildly, turning into a black giant ape over thirty zhang tall.

The Soul-Crying Beast's eyes were blood-red, and its two massive fists hammered its chest; its pitch-black fur stood on end, and it revealed fangs, grew strange horns, actually turning into a three-eyed giant ghost.

This ghost had three pitch-black bone spikes on its back, looking gloomy and terrifying.

"Punishment Beast"

A scream of fear suddenly rang out in the void, and the hundreds of black-robed men in the sky instantly turned into clusters of black Qi, vanishing without a trace.

Han Li blinked his eyes, completely caught off guard, and still somewhat confused.

And at this moment, the giant ghost transformed by the Soul-Crying Beast seemed to have lost its sanity; after letting out a low, gloomy roar, its third demon eye suddenly flashed with spiritual light, and a blood-red light column sprayed out, vanishing in a flash.

With a strange "clatter" sound, something that startled Han Li appeared.

The blood-red light column shot out from somewhere dozens of zhang away, but as soon as it appeared, it turned into a blood-red chain with a clear ringing sound.

This chain bizarrely shook in the void over there, turning into a giant rope loop, locking onto something invisible.

Subsequently, the entire chain erupted with thunderous sounds, and blood-red electric arcs appeared on its surface.

Instantly, screams came from the end of the chain, and amidst the flashing blood arcs, a mass of black Qi several zhang in diameter appeared.

The blood-red chain seemed to have seen some delicious food, instantly wrapping around this mass of black Qi seven or eight times, binding it tightly.

Amidst the roaring thunder, the blood arcs became even more astonishing.

And the black Qi seemed to fear these electric arcs exceptionally, not only screaming continuously but also changing into more than a dozen different forms in just a few breaths, desperately trying to break free.

Among them were the forms of the black-robed man and the black Qilin.

But all these efforts clearly failed, as they all vanished in a flash, shattered by the blood arcs, and turned into clusters of black Qi again.

The blood chain was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, binding the invisible black Qi tightly, making it unable to escape in the slightest. This made the black Qi, besides the screams, also mix in the giant face's roars of extreme rage.

Just at this moment, the giant ghost transformed by the Soul-Crying Beast took action again; a furry giant hand suddenly grabbed into the void behind its back.

One of the three black bone spikes on its back vanished from its back without the slightest warning.

But the next moment, black light flashed in the Soul-Crying Beast's hand, and the bone spike appeared bizarrely, being held firmly by its five fingers.

A series of incantations that Han Li had never heard before came from the Soul-Crying Beast's giant mouth. The originally pitch-black bone spear suddenly lit up with rows of golden characters on its surface, shining with golden light, appearing mysterious.

Subsequently, the bone spear began to vibrate on its own, emitting a humming sound, and it grew larger and larger.

At the same time, a wave of golden light spread from the spear tip toward the back, exploding with dazzling golden light, and at the same time, some golden runes similar to those on the bone spear appeared near the bone spear, floating unsteadily.

And the moment these runes appeared, a soul-stealing murderous aura surged from the bone spear into the sky.

"Gold Seal Script"

"Heavenly Punishment Divine Spear"

Two completely different voices came from Han Li and the black Qi simultaneously.

However, Han Li's face was filled with horror, while the voice from the black Qi was filled with extreme fear.

Han Li's thoughts raced, and before he could figure out what was going on, the mass of black Qi that had been trapped earlier, upon hearing the shout, underwent another strange change.

Only to see black light flowing unsteadily in the black Qi, its volume shrinking suddenly, then expanding rapidly.

With a muffled "bang" sound!

The black Qi actually exploded on its own, and a pitch-black light halo appeared in the blood chain, forcibly expanding the blood chain by a circle.

Taking this opportunity, "poof, poof" sounds erupted, and countless black rays shot out from the blood chain.

It turned out that the giant face, seeing the situation was bad, actually didn't hesitate to explode most of itself to let a small portion of the black Qi escape.

However, an unbelievable scene appeared again.

Only to see the blood chain let out a muffled sound, then blur, turning into dozens of blood threads that shot out as well. With just a flicker, each blood thread bizarrely pierced through a black ray.

After a mournful cry, these black rays trembled and reverted into clusters of black Qi, while being frozen in mid-air, unable to move in the slightest.

All the blood threads flashed with spiritual light and pulled back, actually forcibly gathering all the black Qi together. And after dozens of blood threads condensed, they transformed into a thick blood chain again, binding the black Qi, which had shrunk by nearly half, tightly once more.

With a "whoosh," the bone spear in the Soul-Crying Beast's hand shot out as a golden crystal ray at this moment.

Its speed wasn't considered very fast, but the trapped black Qi couldn't dodge it at all; amidst the rolling, a strange face appeared from within.

Different from the previous white giant face, this face actually had two horns on its head, five colors on its face, and was wrapped in a mass of burning blood flames; in its dark eye sockets, there were two silver lights spinning rapidly, making one feel dizzy just by looking at it.

If the previous giant face looked somewhat like an ordinary human, the face before him was a demonic face Han Li had never seen before.

"Immortal, spare my life, quickly call off the Punishment Beast. My main body is a split soul of the Heavenly Demon Monarch; I am willing to submit to you and become your demonic slave." The demonic face's expression was extremely flustered, shouting as if it had grabbed the last straw.

"Heavenly Demon Monarch!" Han Li was startled, and at the same time felt a surge of excitement, but looking at the Soul-Crying Beast transformed into a giant ghost, he felt somewhat helpless.

The current Soul-Crying Beast had completely severed its heart-and-mind connection with him; it seemed that all its actions from just now until now were carried out in an unconscious state. How could he control this beast's actions?

As a result, the golden crystal ray pierced through the demonic face amidst its despair.

A hole the size of a thumb appeared between the demonic face's brows, and dazzling golden light surged out from within.

In an instant, it covered the demonic face, and its expression froze, as if it had turned to stone.

With a crisp sound, the demonic face shattered inch by inch, centered on the golden hole, turning into countless five-colored fragments floating motionless in the black Qi.

The Soul-Crying Beast's eyes flashed with strange light, and with a snort from its giant nose, a sheet of yellow mist sprayed out.

Amidst the flashing yellow light, the black Qi and the demonic face fragments were easily rolled inside, then circled and shot back.

They were all swallowed into the Soul-Crying Beast's giant mouth.

The blood chain let out a low hum and vanished into thin air.

And that bone spear that had been shot out appeared on the Soul-Crying Beast's back in a flash, only the Gold Seal Script on its surface had vanished, and the black light it emitted was also exceptionally dim, almost invisible.

With a "thud."

Contrary to Han Li's expectations, the Soul-Crying Beast, having just swallowed the demonic face, saw its blood light recede, revealed a look of confusion, then blinked its eyes and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Its giant body instantly had a layer of black light flowing, and it reverted to the size of a few inches, turning back into the pitch-black small monkey.

And at the same time, the heart-and-mind connection Han Li had lost with this beast was restored as usual.

Han Li was stunned, but immediately scanned the small monkey with his divine sense, and was shocked again.

At this moment, the Soul-Crying Beast's physical strength and divine sense were both exhausted, as if it had just fought a fierce battle with a strong enemy for three days and three nights.

Han Li's expression was uncertain, his mind like a ball of paste.

Whether it was the Soul-Crying Beast's bizarre transformation or the fact that the giant face was a transformation of the Heavenly Demon Monarch, it all made him feel greatly puzzled.

However, he also knew. Now was not the time to seek answers.

Because at this moment, amidst the earth-shaking tremors all around, the pitch-black void began to shatter inch by inch, and white light flashed into this space.

Han Li scanned all around quickly, but didn't find the so-called True Qilin Origin, so he frowned. He flicked his sleeve and collected the Soul-Crying Beast into his sleeve.

At the same time, his figure flickered and vanished from his original spot.

The next moment, several hundred zhang high in the air, a space ripple arose, and Han Li appeared in a flash, wrapped in a ball of azure light.

Below, it was a giant stone face several hundred zhang tall. At this moment, it was broken and incomplete, the void inside was empty, and it was weathering and collapsing rapidly.

Han Li scanned all around quickly, and his eyes narrowed instantly.

Only to see that in a certain place below, the originally immobile Xianxian was now standing in mid-air, with several white flying knives floating before her, looking toward the sky with an expression of surprise.

Not far from this woman, the man surnamed Gui was also standing with his hands behind his back. Above his head, a silver dragon phantom was flickering in and out of existence.

The two were actually in a standoff.

"Brother Han, did you kill that 'Cave Spirit'!" The crystal-race woman took a deep breath and asked slowly.

The man surnamed Gui also looked toward Han Li with gloomy eyes, appearing somewhat suspicious.

"How is it, do you find it so hard to believe that I killed this thing?" Han Li remained calm and replied faintly.

"Of course not, it's just that Brother Han's divine abilities are truly too great, killing this thing so quickly. It truly exceeded this junior's expectations." Xianxian's expression of surprise flashed and vanished, and she smiled beautifully.

Han Li smiled slightly, not bothering to explain further.

But at this moment, the man surnamed Gui opened his mouth coldly:

"Brother Han, since you killed the 'Cave Spirit,' what about the True Qilin Origin? Has it already fallen into your hands?"

"Fellow Daoist, since you have killed the Cave Spirit, what about the True Qilin origin? Has it already fallen into your hands?"
