Chapter 1677: Obtaining the Mirror

The moment the green bee's primordial spirit was destroyed, hundreds of feet away, the demonic bees buzzing and flying in the mist flashed with light.

With "Pupu" sounds, they all exploded and died.

From the destruction of the green giant bee's body to the two demons' souls being scattered, it wasn't even an instant.

Han Li didn't even look at the falling demonic eagle's corpse; his gaze shifted, looking far away at the last high-tier demonic beast.

His gaze was icy and bone-chilling.

The double-horned demon had naturally seen everything here, and in its shock, its face turned faintly green.

Although the giant bee and the demonic eagle's cultivation bases were inferior to its own, they weren't worlds apart. Yet, in just a single encounter, both were easily killed by the opponent, and their primordial spirits couldn't even escape.

How could this not make it feel a chill through its entire body?

Even though the opponent succeeded largely due to a sneak attack, it asked itself that if it were in the opponent's position, it could never kill two companions so cleanly and efficiently.

However, this demon was also somewhat strange.

What were the golden shadow that appeared to lure them and the one that was later smashed to death by its hammer?

They clearly sensed not-weak spiritual pressure from them, otherwise, they wouldn't have been so easily fooled.

Regardless, if it were to fight alone, it would ten to nine end up dead. It was better to wait for reinforcements to arrive before thinking of other ways to kill the opponent.

If that really didn't work, it would simply risk violating the agreement between the mountain range and the outside world to ambush the entrance and kill this person.

It figured the top-tier existences outside would never come to the mountain range to argue with the Saint-tier Lords over a mere person.

This double-horned demon was truly calculating; after waking up from its shock, it immediately thought of a countermeasure.

So, as Han Li looked over, it suddenly grabbed at the void with both hands.

With two "Sou Sou" sounds, the two hammers shrank to their normal size and flew back into its hands.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat out the triangular bronze mirror from before, pointing at the treasure with a finger.

The surface of the bronze mirror let out a buzz, spraying a ball of cold light that shrouded the area below.

A strange scene appeared.

After the cold light fell, the double-horned demon's tall figure vanished into thin air.

Then, the bronze mirror trembled slightly and transformed into an afterimage, flashing into the void and vanishing without a trace.

This scene made Han Li in the distance pause, somewhat beyond his expectations.

But his expression immediately turned gloomy, and blue light flashed in his pupils, revealing a strange scene like a whirlpool. It was as if anyone who looked into his eyes would have their soul sucked in.

Seeming to have seen something, Han Li pinched a magic seal with one hand and pointed two fingers rapidly at his brow.

A ball of black Qi emerged, and after condensing, it transformed into a pitch-black eyeball.

It was the Ming and Destruction Dharma Eye.

Once the demon eye took form, it immediately moved, pitch-black light flowing within, and faint runes could be seen rolling and surging within the eyeball.

With a light sound, a black light the thickness of a finger sprayed out from the Ming and Destruction Dharma Eye, flashing into the void and vanishing without a trace.

A moment later, a heaven-shaking loud sound erupted near a patch of void a hundred feet away. Then, a ball of pitch-black light halo appeared, and violent spatial fluctuations spread out.

With a muffled sound, a ball of extremely dim cold light was ejected from the halo, flying over ten feet away before stopping as if stumbling.

As the light converged, the double-horned demon appeared, shocked and furious.

Almost at the same time, a thunderclap erupted above the demon's head, and a cyan-white electric arc flashed, within which a figure faintly appeared.

"Not good!"

The double-horned demon hadn't even stood steady, but after scanning the situation above its head, its heart sank, and it subconsciously shook both hands.

The two giant hammers in its hands whistled and smashed wildly toward the figure above its head. At the same time, blue light flashed on its chest, and a blue banner flew out. With a shake, it transformed into a layer of blue light screen, shrouding its figure.

And the double-horned demon itself flashed with black light, its figure shooting backward like a crossbow bolt, wanting to open up the distance from Han Li first.

But how could Han Li let this demon have its way? The cyan-white thunder light in the sky exploded with a rumble, the color of the electric light changing, transforming into silver arcs.

Then, its volume expanded wildly, and with a roll, it transformed into a cyan giant roc several feet tall. Spreading its wings, it carried bowls-wide silver arcs and dove down fiercely.

Its speed was so fast that the moment the silver light flashed, its giant claws grabbed toward the pair of black giant hammers flying up to meet it.

Thunderous sounds erupted!

The giant hammers were submerged by the giant claws as if they were made of paper, and with a miserable wail, they exploded amidst the silver snakes.

In the next moment, the giant claws didn't pause in the slightest, grabbing onto the blue light screen on the double-horned demon's body.

Somewhat unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary blue screen flashed with light, transforming into a crystal-like light shield.

Whether it was the electric arcs or the immense force on the giant claws, once they grabbed onto it, they submerged as if into the sea, having no effect at all.

Seeing this, the double-horned demon inside the light shield breathed a sigh of relief, unable to help but reveal a smile.

But before it could make any other move, piercing sharp shrieks erupted outside the light shield, and the cyan roc's hooked beak transformed into streaks of cyan light, pecking down.

With three loud "Boom" sounds, they erupted at the same spot on the light shield. Following a crisp sound, the crystal light shield cracked inch by inch from the same spot, finally dissipating into dots of blue light.

"Ah!"

The double-horned demon inside was shocked, waving both arms upward simultaneously.

The sound of breaking air erupted, and countless black claw shadows appeared, forming a dense, crisscrossing claw net that blocked above its head.

But the cyan giant roc's hooked beak moved again.

A streak of cyan light flashed down, submerging into the claw net.

Immediately, silver electric light shone brightly, the claw net was easily torn apart, and the cyan light vanished in a flash, disappearing like a phantom.

The double-horned demon's figure shook violently, its two arms stopped waving, and it looked down at its own body.

It saw a blood hole the size of a bowl in its chest, and a ball of silver light was flickering within the blood hole.

An expression of unbelievable fear appeared on the demon's face, but before it could let out a miserable scream, thunderous sounds erupted from the blood hole in its chest, and silver arcs ejected, exploding outward.

The silver electric light completely engulfed the double-horned demon.

After the thunderous sounds echoed for quite a while, they finally stopped.

The double-horned demon's physical body, along with the primordial spirit inside, had long since turned to ashes in the fierce thunder light, vanishing from the world without a trace.

Only the strange triangular bronze mirror was left on the spot!

The cyan giant roc's volume shrank suddenly, and amidst flashing spiritual light, it transformed back into human form.

Han Li scanned the bronze mirror, beckoned with his hand, and an suction force appeared out of thin air, taking the ownerless treasure into his hand, where he examined it twice.

But in his haste, he didn't see anything special about it.

However, he was quite interested in this object.

This mirror could connect the magic power of multiple people and could also take people into the void to escape; it was clearly not an ordinary treasure, and he didn't know how this demon had obtained it.

With a wave of his hand, the mirror flashed with yellow light and vanished.

Previously, to kill his opponent as quickly as possible, he had unleashed the Taiyi Transformation-Clearing Talisman and two Jia Yuan Talismans in one go. But now that he had obtained this treasure, he couldn't be considered to have suffered too much of a loss.

Han Li pondered in his heart, not intending to linger. His escape light stirred, and he transformed into a cyan rainbow once more, shooting toward the depths of the mist sea.

After a full few quarter-hours, a pitch-black demonic wind whistled from the horizon.

But after circling in front of the mist sea, it immediately converged and vanished into thin air. From the wind, five strange-looking demonic beasts appeared.

"The place where the three of them last vanished is indeed here." One of the little beasts, which seemed to be made of glaze, glanced at the mist sea and said.

The other four beasts looked at the mist sea, and looks of caution flashed in their eyes as well.

"With the combined strength of Lord Wu Qi and the other two, how could they have vanished without a trace in such a short time? Could it be that they encountered other trouble on the way?" The python-headed demonic beast asked in a low voice.

"This is not very clear. But regardless, everyone, keep your spirits up. We must be extra careful." The little beast shook its head, then ordered in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes."

The other demonic beasts bowed their heads and responded respectfully.

Then, the demonic wind stirred again, and the five demonic beasts dove into the mist sea.

Half a quarter-hour later, at the place where Han Li killed the double-horned demon, these demonic beasts appeared again.

They scanned everything nearby with shocked and suspicious eyes.

Among them, a strange beast resembling a duck but with a white horn on its head suddenly transformed into a white light and shot downward, vanishing in a flash.

This action naturally drew the attention of the other demonic beasts, and they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

But after just a moment, the demonic Qi below rolled, and that duck demonic beast flew out from within.

Only, in its pair of webbed claws, there were two broken horn fragments, each only the size of a fist.

"This is the spiritual horn on Lord Wu Qi's head. How could it fall down here? Could it be that he has already returned to heaven?" Another tiger-shaped demonic beast muttered, its face filled with awe.

"It seems the three of them have truly fallen. The person they were chasing actually has such divine abilities?" The little beast's eyes narrowed, and it muttered to itself in a low voice.

"Then what should we do below? That outsider has long since vanished without a trace. We have no way to continue tracking him." The python-headed demonic beast's face turned gloomy and uncertain, and it couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph. Even if we could locate this person, I wouldn't be able to continue the pursuit. Since the opponent could kill Wu Qi and the other two, we, going over, would most likely not be their match. Let's return along the original path!" The little beast snorted coldly and said without hesitation.

"But if we do this, it won't be easy to explain when we return. The Master will definitely be extremely furious." One beast had great misgivings and said slowly.
