Chapter 1946

The giant only felt a sharp ringing in his ears, as if several sharp awls were drilling hard into his brain, and a tearing pain to his soul and spirit suddenly surged forth.

This caused the early-stage Mahayana demon lord to clutch his head and let out a loud cry; as his protective spiritual light scattered, he involuntarily plummeted from the high altitude.

At this moment, the two massive mountains flashed by and arrived above the fire-armored giant's head with tremendous power, crashing down with a thunderous boom.

Only to see the gray 'color' rosy light churning incessantly, countless faint sword auras suddenly materializing, densely intertwining to actually form a gigantic net of silk that enveloped the fire-armored giant.

"No, fellow Daoists, quickly save me!"

Though the fire-armored giant was after all a Mahayana cultivator, having been struck hard by Han Li's Soul-Stabbing Thorn, even though the pain in his mind was unbearable, he quickly regained his senses, and upon seeing the situation before him, his face 'color' turned deathly pale as he loudly cried for help.

And the crimson battle armor on his body let out a resonant hum, expanding greatly in size without needing his activation, while simultaneously three dozens-of-zhang-long crimson fire pythons shot out from the armor, coiling around and completely enveloping his figure.

This life-preserving strange treasure, which he almost never parted with, did not disappoint the giant; at this critical juncture, it autonomously protected its master through spiritual resonance.

Hearing the giant's cry for help, Han Li's heart stirred, but his hand movements did not cease in the slightest; his sleeves suddenly flared, and seventy-two small green 'color' swords surged out, in a flash differentiating into hundreds of green 'color' sword lights, which then condensed into a single green 'color' giant sword over ten zhang in length.

Under the sweep of the gray misty rosy light, the three fire pythons scattered as if encountering their nemesis, followed by countless sword threads crisscrossing and fiercely stirring downward.

Numerous bursting sounds came from the surface of the crimson giant armor, instantly flashing into a state of inability to hold on.

"Slash"

Han Li pointed at the giant sword hovering before him as he charged forward, and coldly uttered a low shout.

At the same time, he shook his hand downward, and a faint silver shadow disappeared from his sleeve.

The giant sword let out a thunderous roar, transforming into a green 'color' silk ribbon that shot straight down, its escape speed so fast it seemed to arrive in an instant.

Even before it truly struck, a sharp sword aura capable of cleaving heaven and earth descended like a hood upon him.

The fire-armored giant only felt his body as if doused with a bucket of cold water from above, his entire person suddenly feeling as if plunged into an ice cellar; he immediately panicked, the crimson flames on his body surface churning, about to transform into a ball of crimson flame to flee.

But just then, the void nearby fluctuated, and a silver ruler pierced through space without any warning, flashing once to become a silver 'color' long serpent, which coiled once and instantly wrapped around the giant's waist like lightning.

Causing his escape light to stagnate, unable to move even a fraction.

Even though the fire-armored giant's body surface crimson flames suddenly surged to several times their height, they had no effect on the silver serpent; on the contrary, as it spat out its tongue, it tightened its grip on him by another third.

The giant lost his 'color' in great shock, and though he tried to employ other divine abilities, it was already too late.

The green 'color' silk ribbon flashed, and the sword light, like clear water, instantly submerged the giant's entire figure.

His protective spiritual light was utterly incapable of resisting such terrifying sword light, being torn apart in an instant.

Immediately following, the sword light's stirring actually formed a vast green misty vortex out of thin air, sucking in a mu-sized expanse of void.

The fire-armored giant happened to be at the vortex's center; with a shrill, miserable cry, his physical body and Nascent Soul were simultaneously stirred into powder, truly vanishing from this world.

And almost simultaneously, two terrifying undulations arose in the demon sea; a silver and a golden streak of escape light flashed out from within, shooting straight toward Han Li.

Han Li had no time to savor the joy of instantly slaying a Mahayana demon lord; he stowed his treasure, narrowed his eyes, and carefully gazed at the incoming escape light.

Only to see the gold and silver escape lights moving at incredible speed; after a few flashes, they arrived less than a hundred zhang from him, their light converging to reveal their forms.

They were a middle-aged man in silver silk robes and a middle-aged beautiful 'lady' in a pink palace skirt, her eyes like water.

They glared viciously at Han Li, their faces 'color' showing a mix of bluish tinge and utter disbelief.

They were precisely the Yin-Yang Two Fiends who had only recently joined forces with the demon army of this place; it was unknown what method the black-armored burly man of the Zang surname used, but he actually convinced them that Han Li was the murderer who killed the three Power Honored Ones, so they truly came to assist them in attacking this Yitian City.

These two demon lords had previously hidden themselves in the demon clouds without showing up, naturally intending to let other demon lords draw Han Li and others' attention while they launched a surprise attack!

But they never imagined that, before they could even make a move, Han Li, upon a single encounter, had slain the weakest among the demon lords—the fire-armored giant—and even left them no time to come to his aid!

Caught completely off guard, they were both shocked and furious!

After Han Li's divine sense swept over their bodies, he paused slightly and couldn't help but frown faintly.

Again, two demon race Honored Ones, still two Mahayana mid-stage existences—this could prove somewhat troublesome!

Although he had previously heard the fire-armored giant's plea for help and had a vague premonition, truly seeing other demon race Honored Ones still naturally startled him.

"Your Excellency's methods are superb—actually slaying the Smoke Honored One in a single encounter; it seems the Power Honored Ones and their three companions have most likely **also truly fallen at your hands. Your Excellency's such divine abilities suggest you are no nameless nobody of the human race—dare to report your name!" The middle-aged man stared deeply at Han Li several times, then suddenly asked lightly.

"What Power Honored One? You two may have mistaken the person! As for my name, I will naturally reveal it when I send you two fellow Daoists on your way." Han Li, hearing this, felt his heart tighten, but his face showed no expression as he replied.

"Hehe, what gall. After so many years, few dare to speak to us two like this. However, denying the matter of the Power Honored One is no problem. Once we two capture you, we will use that 'Five Nether Refinement of Souls' to make you spit out everything. Senior Brother, deploy the two treasures bestowed by the Holy Ancestor." The middle-aged beautiful 'lady' flashed a murderous look on her face, turned her head to her companion, and said this.

Following this, she opened her mouth and spat out a cluster of purple 'color' small cauldron wrapped in black aura; initially only a few inches in size, but upon meeting the wind, it expanded to about a zhang in size.

One could clearly see that the surface of the giant cauldron was densely inscribed with black 'color' runes, each one flickering with light.

Beside her, the middle-aged man, seeing this, without a word flipped his hand over, and suddenly a crystalline, exquisite treasure pagoda appeared in his hand, emitting seven-colored spiritual light.

He shook his wrist!

This pagoda let out a resonant hum as it was cast forth, instantly transforming into a seven-tiered giant tower over ten zhang tall; each layer bore faint inscriptions of insects, fish, birds, and beasts, and strangely circulated on the tower, as if something might burst forth from within at any moment.

Although Han Li felt great apprehension regarding these two's questioning about the three Power Honored Ones, he naturally would not truly fear the combined forces of two Mahayana mid-stage demon lords, even if the treasures they drove seemed extraordinarily unusual!

His face 'color' sank, and with both hands raised, he flung forth the two Extreme Mountains, one green and one black, a step ahead.

He pinched a seal with one hand, pointed firmly at the two mountain peaks.

Instantly, the two mountain peaks radiated great light, swayed, and simultaneously transformed into thousand-zhang-high giant peaks, mercilessly smashing down toward the two.

The gray misty rosy light and the crisscrossing invisible sword aura naturally also surged out wildly from their bases, causing the heavens to undergo a 'color' change!

And Han Li seemed to also know that this attack alone would not be enough to subdue the two opponents; he promptly made another empty-handed grasp!

A cluster of silver light flashed and appeared in his palm, then transformed into a silver 'color' short ruler.

Han Li moved his wrist, and two ruler shadows flew 'shot' from the silver ruler, flashing once before vanishing into the void.

The next moment, behind the male and female opponents, the void fluctuated, and two ruler shadows flashed into existence from the void, fiercely smashing down upon their heads.

At this moment, the thunderous sound of wings rang from behind Han Li; he twisted his body and transformed into a silver arc that vanished into the nearby void, leaving no trace.

"Hmph, you think such petty tricks can plot against us two!" The beautiful 'lady' let out a cold snort; facing the incoming ruler shadows from behind, she dared not ignore them, and a fair, tender finger suddenly pointed toward the giant cauldron before her.

The small cauldron let out a thunderous roar; the black 'color' runes on its surface surged forth, and upon condensing, actually formed a gigantic "吸" character in the air above the cauldron's mouth.

The giant cauldron let out a long cry; a matchless energy suddenly burst forth from within, and swept backward,

The ruler shadows that had originally seemed about to strike the male and female pair were affected by this force—first stagnating, then with a "whoosh" sound, they transformed into two silver light streaks that were instantly sucked toward the purple 'color' giant cauldron, and with a flash of light, were truly drawn into the cauldron.

As for the two giant peaks that had similarly seemed about to come crashing down, the beautiful 'lady' merely altered her hand seal, then again urged the purple 'color' giant cauldron.

The huge rune at the cauldron's mouth blurred slightly, then transformed into the character "Tuo" in an instant.

The astonishing power erupting from within the cauldron suddenly changed direction, and shot straight up into the sky in a sweeping motion.

After this force swept past, the two colossal peaks descended slightly, and countless black 'color' lotus flowers surged up from below; the massive peaks shuddered, and were actually held up firmly, unable to descend even a fraction.

At that very moment, a thunderclap rang out, and with a flash of a silver arc, Han Li's figure suddenly appeared atop the black 'color' peak, and he ruthlessly stomped down with one foot without hesitation.

With a "Boom—" like heaven and earth splitting apart!

The weight of the black 'color' peak instantly increased severalfold, pressing down the countless black lotuses beneath it until they sank, immediately showing signs of collapse.

Han Li rubbed his hands together, then lifted them downward,

Thunder roared loudly, and more than a dozen thick golden 'color' arcs, each as wide as a bowl's mouth, shot out and lashed downward violently.

Amidst the concealment of these golden arcs, dozens of nearly invisible green 'color' sword flashes were also mixed in, flashing down in a slash.

The beautiful 'woman' witnessed this scene, her heart secretly startled, yet she showed no panic whatsoever; instead, she gave a cold smile, shifted her hand seal, and spat out a cluster of pitch-black, pure demonic energy from the mouth of the purple 'color' giant cauldron.

After the giant cauldron absorbed this black energy, it rumbled continuously within; a flash of black light later, several more large ancient characters shot straight out from inside.
