Chapter 1765
The sound of tearing space rang out, and Han Li's figure flashed out from the nearby void, glancing at the Brahma Saint Golden Body, 'revealing' a look of 'satisfaction'. Wang
He flicked his sleeve robe!
With a 'bang', the Golden Body turned into specks of golden light and vanished.
The second Nascent Soul then transformed into a mass of black qi that shot toward his body, flashing by and disappearing without a trace.
Although he had released the second Nascent Soul and attached it within the Golden Body, because the second Nascent Soul's state of mind had not yet been consolidated, during the previous battle, the Nascent Soul itself could not employ the slightest bit of magic arts, merely using divine sense to ***command the Golden Body to meet the enemy.
Doing it this way, the second Nascent Soul need not fear the danger of backlash from heart demons, but the Golden Body also could not possibly exert its full tenfold power.
However, after Han Li advanced to the late stage of Void Refinement, the Brahma Saint Devilish Arts were also cultivated to the final part all at once. The Golden Body's power, compared to the early stage of Void Refinement, is simply incomparable, and it can even display several kinds of long-awaited new divine abilities.
That swirling golden light is precisely one of the most formidable and bizarre among them.
Even an ordinary Body Integration Stage existence, if caught off guard and suddenly sucked in by this golden light, if lacking great divine arts and protective treasures, would likely also face the possibility of perishing within it.
Therefore, even though the second Nascent Soul did not employ the body devil arts, but by commanding the Golden Body, it effortlessly slaughtered that Rong tribesman.
From Han Li making his move, to using the treasure Golden Body to slaughter four Rong tribesmen of the same rank, it took only a few exchanges. Even Yue Xianzi and the Xu-surnamed elder, at a distance, were still hesitating whether to turn back and return to assist Han Li in repelling the enemy.
The four major enemies who had previously been pursuing them in a sorry state were thus wiped out cleanly by Han Li in one go.
The two of them naturally wore expressions of wide-eyed astonishment at this moment.
On their faces, the expressions showed seven parts shock, two parts unease, and finally one part delight.
Han Li paid no heed to the changes in the woman's and elder's expressions; with a flicker of his figure, he instantly arrived above the 'Qu'er'.
The girl, ever since Han Li appeared, had remained honestly obedient in place without moving a bit; now, upon seeing him approach, she immediately blinked her eyes, exchanged a few words of mental communication with Han Li in secret, and then her body surface flashed with white light, turning into a mass of white light that vanished into his sleeve.
Han Li pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then raised his head and glanced toward the distant woman and elder.
After the two stared at each other and exchanged a glance, they seemed to also whisper a few sentences, hesitated for a moment, yet still moved their figures and flew toward this side.
Their escape speed was neither fast nor slow.
Even so, after a short while, the two gradually arrived at a distance of over ten zhang before Han Li, their escape light converging as they came to a stop.
"Many thanks, fellow Daoist, for your assistance; otherwise, this time, I and Yue Xianzi would hardly escape the pursuit of these several Rong tribesmen. Han brother, your divine powers are truly immense, making us feel ashamed." The elder clasped his fist toward Han Li, his face full of smiles as he repeatedly expressed thanks.
"Xu Daoist's words are not wrong; these several Rong tribesmen possess excellent escape techniques. Were it not for encountering Han brother here, we would truly face the danger of perishing. Little sister also feels endless gratitude." Yue Xianzi's jade countenance regained its composure, but she also lightly sighed and said.
"Originally, the two fellow Daoists' magic power was impaired; I wondered why we could not shake off these several Rong tribesmen. No need for thanks whatsoever. Han Li, no matter how I say it, also entered this realm together with the two of you from Yun City. Since we have met, I naturally will not stand by and watch death without saving." Han Li smiled faintly, appearing quite modest.
"Han brother, your discerning eye is like a torch! I and Yue Xianzi previously fell for the Rong tribesmen's scheme; while fleeing, our vital energy had already been greatly damaged. Fellow Daoist's aid, I will certainly not forget, and I will surely repay it handsomely." Upon seeing Han Li's amiable demeanor, the Xu-surnamed elder's heart relaxed, and his smile unconsciously grew a bit wider.
Han Li hearing the elder say this merely smiled and said nothing.
Yue Xianzi's eyes shifted a few times, then suddenly she raised her hand, a jade box appearing in her palm, and then slowly spoke to Han Li:
"This is a stalk of Nine-Flame Spirit Grass that has long vanished from the Spirit Realm, a necessary material for refining several kinds of spirit pills. Those several Rong tribesmen have pursued us relentlessly, and about half of it is due to this spirit grass. We two, having received the fellow Daoist's rescue with no way to repay, shall gift this spirit grass to you."
As soon as the words fell, this woman directly threw the jade box over.
The elder beside her, upon seeing this, flashed a trace of alarm on his face, but it vanished in a flash, and he again resumed his smile as if nothing had happened.
Han Li, seeing this situation, felt somewhat surprised; his expression shifted slightly, and with one hand he grabbed, drawing the jade box into his hand.
He lowered his head and took a look.
All he saw was the jade box flashing with red light, its surface pasted with several pale blue 'colored' talismans, appearing extremely cautious about the object inside.
Han Li's eyes flashed, he opened his mouth, and a stream of green霞spurted out.
As the霞light rolled, the talismans on the jade box's surface flashed wildly several times, then detached themselves and fell off.
The box lid flew open, and from within a mass of琉璃light shot forth, actually appearing full of spirit.
But Han Li had long been prepared; how could he possibly let it escape from under his eyelids.
With a swing of one arm, one hand reached out and grasped into the void.
A 'hiss-hiss' sound of tearing space transmitted, and an invisible immense force instantly enveloped that mass of琉璃light beneath it.
The five fingers bent slightly, the light mass with a 'whoosh' sound, was then sucked through empty space.
"Han Daoist, be careful!"
Upon seeing Han Li's action, Yue Xianzi's face 'color' changed slightly, and she hastily spoke up to warn.
"No problem!" Han Li however smiled, his palm's spiritual light flashing, and suddenly turned radiant with golden light.
The琉璃light mass spun round and round in his palm, then floated down lightly.
Lo and behold, a stalk of grass shaped like a flame, yet emitting nine kinds of different spiritual light, appeared.
This spiritual object is no more than a few inches tall, but wherever the nine-colored light flames pass, even the nearby void becomes a momentary blur and haze, with waves of heat radiating outward.
One can see how high the temperature of this grass is!
However, Han Li's palm holding the spirit grass flashed with golden light, like pure gold, regarding the scorching heat within arm's reach as if it were nothing.
The Xu-surnamed elder, upon seeing this, flashed a trace of alarm in his eyes, but chuckled and said:
"Yue Xianzi is overthinking it! With Han brother's astonishing divine powers, how could this bit of firepower possibly affect him."
"Indeed! The spiritual light emitted by this Nine-Flame Grass can melt metal and stone, but has no effect on Daoist friend whatsoever. Han Daoist's divine powers are truly unfathomable!" Yue Xianzi paused for a moment, then 'revealed' a hint of a wry smile and said.
"My divine powers are nowhere near as exaggerated as the two of you say; I have merely cultivated some special fire-avoiding arts. This Nine-Flame Grass is indeed a rare and extraordinary fire spirit grass, and it is truly useful to me as well. In that case, Han Li will not refuse it." Han Li carefully examined the nine-colored spirit grass in his hand for a while, then actually smiled and said thus.
Following that, he moved his fingers, placing this grass back into the jade box, and then affixed several more talismans, and with a flash of spiritual light, the jade box vanished from sight.
Yue Xianzi seeing this, the corners of her mouth instead curled up with a hint of a smile.
Although the elder felt great reluctance in his heart, but upon recalling Han Li's earlier display of astonishing divine powers, his face naturally showed no trace of異'color' revealed, and instead he chuckled, intending to open his mouth to say something more.
But Han Li then suddenly shook his sleeve robe, and two pale blue 'colored' jade bottles flashed out, respectively flying toward Yue Xianzi and the elder.
The two, upon seeing this, were startled and instinctively raised their hands to catch.
Two streams of霞light rolled past, and the jade bottles were respectively enveloped by masses of spiritual light and fell into their hands.
"Han brother, what is this?" The elder's expression 'color' tightened, and he felt somewhat hesitant.
The woman also held the jade bottle in one hand, looking at Han Li with some surprise.
"Nothing much, the Nine-Flame Grass is indeed too precious. And I previously obtained some spirit pills that can still advance magic power even against the upper clan's ninth rank, which should be of some use to the two fellow Daoists when breaking through bottlenecks. I will use two bottles of this pill 'medicine' as some compensation for taking this spirit grass." Han Li said in a light-hearted manner.
"What, a pill that can advance one's magic power to the ninth level of the upper clan!" Upon hearing this, the old man cried out in surprise, hastily opened the bottle cap, swept his divine sense into the bottle, then sniffed beneath his nose, whereupon an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face.
Upon hearing this, Shi Xianzi's beautiful eyes flashed with an unusual light, and she too was somewhat moved.
"Not bad, this pill is indeed still useful to me at my current realm, but I and Shi Xianzi have only just been rescued by fellow Daoist, so how could we possibly take your spirit pill again?" The old man finally regained some composure, glanced at the jade bottle in his hand, yet hesitated once more.
"My previous action was but a trifle to me. If the Nine Flame Grass were seen by a Saint-level cultivator of fire-attribute divine abilities, these spirit pills would amount to nothing. Han Mou does not wish to take advantage of others; you two may simply accept them." Han Li smiled faintly and spoke leisurely.
"Since Han brother has said as such, Xu Mou and Daoist Yue shall then thank you, fellow Daoist." The old man merely pondered briefly, then smiled and put away the jade bottle.
Shi Xianzi beside him also finished inspecting her medicine bottle, voiced her thanks, and stored the pill within her sleeve robe.
After this exchange, the old man's wariness was largely dispelled; he glanced around, then suddenly asked:
"Han brother, are you truly the only one in this vicinity? Are there no other fellow Daoists nearby?"
"I originally traveled with two other fellow Daoists, but recently encountered some danger and became separated from them." Han Li furrowed his brow, without any intention of concealment.
"I see, that is indeed regrettable!" Upon hearing this, the old man's face showed a hint of unwillingness.
Shi Xianzi beside him shifted her expression, and her beautiful eyes also revealed a trace of regret.
"Daoist Xu, your words imply something deeper! Could it be that you and Shi Xianzi have some matter requiring many hands?" Han Li stroked his chin, asking with a half-smile.
Upon hearing Han Li's question, the Xu-surnamed old man could not help but glance at the woman, seemingly intending to inquire.
Shi Xianzi paused briefly, then spoke slowly:
"Xu brother, that place has already been taken by the Rong tribe. With our two strengths, we could never retake it. But Han brother possesses vast divine abilities—perhaps you have a way to accomplish this. Why not tell Han brother of it; if successful, we ask for nothing else, only a copy of that golden seal script***."
