Chapter 1675: Thousand Bees

"Hiss, what should we do? That Spirit Realm person ran so fast that even Lord Wu Qi could barely keep up. We have no way of catching up at all." A demonic beast with a body resembling a jackal but a python head growing from its neck hissed as it spoke.

"Need you ask? Of course, we continue the pursuit. Didn't Lord Wu Qi give us all positioning plates that show each other's locations? According to what's displayed on them, even if he is a million miles away, we can still catch up to Lord Chu." Another demonic beast, shaped like a wild boar but with strangely long ears, spoke in human language.

"Hmph, at your speed, catching up to Lord Wu Qi would be a matter for some distant, unknown time." The python-headed demonic beast rolled its eyes and said with some disdain.

"What is that supposed to mean? Listening to your tone, it seems like you're the only one here who can catch up, and that we were all dragging you down just now?" The boar-like demonic beast appeared simple-minded, but in reality, it was deep and calculating; with just a few words, it set the other party against everyone else.

However, the python-headed demonic beast's cultivation base was originally one of the best among those remaining, and upon hearing this, it only sneered without bothering to argue a single bit.

Such an attitude naturally made most of the other demonic beasts look at it with ill intent.

"Alright. Yuan Mang has a point. With so many of us having different escape speeds, it is indeed unlikely that we will all catch up. But just letting Lord Wu Qi and the other two pursue him alone is also somewhat inappropriate. How about this: let's select the five fastest among us to continue the pursuit. The others should return first and await orders." A strange little beast with a body that shimmered like crystal, as if composed of five-colored glaze, suddenly spoke up.

Its words actually carried a somewhat commanding tone!

But strangely, all the unruly demonic beasts, including the python-headed one, had not a single objection upon hearing the glazed beast's words. After some immediate arguing, only five demonic beasts with the fastest escape speeds were left behind.

The remaining demonic beasts stirred up demonic winds and returned along the original path.

Among the five demonic beasts left behind, it surprisingly included the python-headed beast and the glazed little beast.

These five beasts stirred up their escape lights, and by joining forces, their speed was indeed incomparable to before.

One could only see a thick black rainbow over ten feet long flash and break through the air, disappearing.

……

Cyan-white electric arcs flickered on Han Li's body, and like a God of Thunder, he vanished amidst the sound of thunder, only to reappear a moment later. A distance of several hundred feet was crossed in a single breath.

Looking from afar, one moment he was on this side of the horizon, and the next, he suddenly appeared at the other end. With another flash, the person completely vanished.

And not long after the cyan-white electric arcs vanished with a rumble, a three-colored glow flashed silently into existence. After just a few faint flickers, it also vanished without a trace.

Han Li did not look back amidst the thunder light, but he was very clear that those three demonic beasts were definitely still dozens of miles away, pursuing him relentlessly.

This made his brows furrow, and his expression turned somewhat gloomy.

He had already been dragging the three demons along in flight for half a day. Although he was widening the distance bit by bit, he was still far from completely shaking off the three beasts.

The demonic Qi in the Demonic Gold Mountain Range greatly restricted the spiritual sense of outsiders, but for these demonic beasts, it was like a fish in water; their spiritual sense could easily probe hundreds of miles away.

Even if he dragged the three demons along for half a month, he estimated it would be impossible to truly shake off these tails behind him.

And there were only about ten days left before the magic array outside the Demonic Gold Mountain Range closed. He didn't have that much time to waste here.

Furthermore, there were Saint-tier demonic beasts in the mountain range; if the time dragged on, it was highly likely they would be drawn in.

Han Li would naturally never do such a dangerous thing.

After such a long period of flight, the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder in his body had also been consumed quite a bit, and he could not sustain the continued use of the Wind-Thunder Wings like this.

Moreover, although the three demonic beasts behind him could pursue him closely with the help of that strange mirror, the demonic beast horde he feared most had long since vanished without a trace.

In that case, as time passed bit by bit, the killing intent in Han Li's heart grew stronger.

But the electric arc he transformed into did not slow down in the slightest, showing no signs of anything unusual.

After flying for another meal's time, a sea of gray mist appeared in the high altitude ahead. Although it couldn't be considered very thick, it looked quite vast from afar.

Upon seeing this, a cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes. Without hesitation, the electric light on his body flashed, and he dove straight into it.

After a thunderclap, Han Li's figure flashed into existence somewhere within the gray mist. At the same time, blue light flickered slightly in his eyes as he scanned the surroundings.

After confirming that no other demonic beasts were hiding nearby, Han Li suddenly flipped one hand, and a purple-hued talisman appeared in his palm. He slapped it onto his body with a backhand motion.

With a "Puchi" sound, the talisman transformed into a ball of spiritual light, engulfing his figure. At the same time, silver runes could be faintly seen rolling within the light.

But with a flash of silver light, Han Li's figure vanished without a trace.

He had actually used the Taiyi Transformation-Clearing Talisman to completely etherealize his body.

While using this talisman, he could even deceive the existence of an early-stage Body Integration cultivator, let alone the three Void Refinement-tier demonic beasts pursuing him from behind.

If it weren't for the fact that his escape speed was greatly reduced after etherealizing his body, making it impossible to escape the sensing range of the three beasts behind him in a short time, Han Li might have used this talisman long ago and run off openly.

He was now hiding in a denser patch of mist, motionless, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared in the direction he had come from, fully focused.

This was no wonder! A distance of a dozen miles was indeed covered in an instant at the current escape speed of the three beasts behind him.

Almost in the time it took Han Li to exhale twice, a three-colored glow flashed and appeared at the edge of the gray mist sea.

As the glow rolled, a ball of spiritual light flew out from within. After spinning around, it revealed a triangular bronze mirror.

And just at this moment, the three-colored glow converged, revealing the three demonic beasts, Wu Qi and the others.

"What's going on? How did that person's aura suddenly vanish nearby?" The ten-foot-tall demonic eagle's eyes flashed with green light, revealing a look of uncertainty and shock.

"Could he have run away?" The giant green bee also spoke in human language.

"Run away! That is absolutely impossible. Even the few Lords in the mountain range could never escape ten thousand miles away in an instant." Wu Qi first looked around, then his gaze fell upon the mist sea ahead, and he said with extreme gloom.

"Oh, so you mean... this person must have used some highly profound concealment divine ability, or possesses some treasure on his body that can conceal his aura." The demonic eagle seemed to have high intelligence; after its gaze flickered a few times, it said slowly.

"Ten to nine, that's the case. It seems this person knows he cannot escape our pursuit, so he simply stopped, preparing to fight us to the death." Wu Qi stared at the gray mist sea, a trace of a ferocious grin appearing on his face.

"Hehe, this person's cultivation base isn't even as good as mine. Doing this, isn't that just seeking his own death?" After hearing Wu Qi and the demonic eagle's analysis, the green bee let out bursts of cold laughter.

"Hmph, don't be careless. This person dares to do this, so he naturally has something to rely on. I haven't told you all this entire time, but the Young Master fell a few days ago, and it was ten to nine that he died at the hands of this outsider. Otherwise, the Master wouldn't be so furious as to send us out at such an important time." Wu Qi's ferocious expression flashed and vanished, and he snorted coldly.

"What, the Young Master was killed by this person? There's such a thing?" The green bee gasped in shock.

"Although the Young Master's cultivation base was about the same as this person's, he had several strange treasures bestowed by the Master on his body; he could never be killed so easily by someone like that. In that case, this person is indeed somewhat troublesome. We must be extra careful." The demonic eagle's tone changed, becoming a few degrees more solemn.

"Even if it's truly dangerous, we must take the risk. If we fail to kill or capture the person, you should all be very clear about what kind of end we will face when we return to face the Master's fury." Wu Qi's voice became eerie, and he suddenly grabbed at his head with both hands.

Those two pitch-black bull horns were actually grabbed off by him.

Then, with a shake of his hands, this pair of giant horns actually transformed into two black, shimmering iron hammers. Paired with his burly physique and the black iron armor on his body, he suddenly became majestic and murderous.

The black eagle and the green giant bee heard their companion's previous words, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes.

But immediately, the black eagle let out a sharp cry, and with a shake of its wings, ten thousand rays of yellow light appeared. In the glow, its body changed drastically, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a tall, slender man in yellow robes.

In one hand, he held a white bone spear, and in the other, he held a golden round shield.

The surface of the bone spear was rolling with black flames, and faint ghost wails could be heard. As for the round shield, a giant demon pattern with three heads and six arms was engraved on its surface, and its edges shimmered with cold light, appearing exceptionally sharp.

As for the green giant bee, it also let out low buzzing sounds, while the transparent wings on its back trembled in a blur.

An incredible scene appeared in the next moment.

Cyan light flowed over the giant bee's body, and suddenly, dense clusters of light surged out from its wings, covering the area within ten feet of it.

Seeing this, Wu Qi and the demonic eagle's expressions turned stern, and they hurriedly retreated several steps to the left and right, appearing to be extremely wary of these light clusters.

As a result, with a flash of light, these light clusters transformed, turning into giant bees the size of eggs, pitch-green and shimmering.

Except for being many times smaller in size, their appearance was exactly the same as the green giant bee's true body.

"Qing Zhen, your Thousand Bee Transformation Technique seems to be even more refined than before. The last time I saw you use this divine ability, you couldn't transform into so many demonic bees." The yellow-robed man stared at these smaller green bees and said slowly.

"Hehe, that's because not long ago, I just cultivated this divine ability to a higher layer. Not only is the number of these transformations more than half again what it was before, but even their individual attack capabilities are incomparable to before." The green giant bee's true body said triumphantly.

"Good, very good. In that case, our chances are even greater. Qing Zhen, let these transformations lead the way, and we will search this mist sea. That person is most likely hiding here." Wu Qi slammed his double hammers together in front of him and ordered with a laugh.
