Chapter 2161: Volume 10: The War of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2138: Startled Retreat

"This is the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain; it is indeed miraculously divine, breaking my Ice-Sealing Heaven so easily. However, Baohua, you should be unable to urge the Profound Heaven Flower Tree anymore. Could it be because of the pill you just swallowed?" The Blue Waterfall Ancestor's eyes flashed with strange light, and she muttered.

"What Fellow Daoist Lan said is indeed correct; that pill just now did indeed stimulate some of my potential, allowing me to release the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain once more." Baohua replied with a calm expression.

"So what if that's the case! In your current state, you can at most urge the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain to attack once or twice more before you will be unable to hold on." The young woman's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and she said coldly.

"Even if it is only a single strike, it is more than enough to deal with the two of you. I don't believe that, after being heavily injured, you can still resist Fellow Daoist Crab and Fellow Daoist Han and remain unscathed." Baohua said indifferently. "Don't use big words to deceive people. Sister Baohua, don't you think I can't see that you are already at the end of your rope? If you truly make one last strike, not only will you have no magic power left, but the damage to your vitality will directly injure your foundation, causing your injuries to worsen several times over. I don't believe you dare to make such a mutually destructive choice. Don't forget, you are also one of our Demon Race Ancestors. If you fall into the hands of this human boy without any power to resist, you can imagine the outcome." The young woman's pupils shrank, but she spoke words filled with malice.

Han Li narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, but his face showed no signs of abnormality.

"This is exactly what I want to tell the two of you. Liu Ji is one thing; it is only an incarnation. Lan Waterfall, you are the true body that has arrived. If you force me to make that final strike, I will definitely mobilize the full power of the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain to deal with you alone. In that case, there is at least a thirty to forty percent chance that you will truly fall here. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lan truly dares to take that gamble." Baohua smiled slightly and said to the blue-robed woman in a composed manner.

"Are you threatening me?" The blue-robed woman's face changed again, and she replied gloomily.

"You could say that. I wonder what choice you intend to make, Fellow Daoist? Do you intend to risk the fall of your true body and strike together with Liu Ji's incarnation, or do you intend to stop here and let us all continue to keep each other safe?" Baohua continued leisurely.

The blue-robed woman's expression shifted between light and shadow after hearing this.

"Sister Lan, you wouldn't truly be scared away by Baohua's bluff, would you? Don't say whether she truly has the ability to urge the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain for one strike; even if she did, so what? I don't believe that with our combined means, we can't take it!" The young woman's heart sank, and she hurriedly interjected.

"Originally, with the Golden Sacred Crab and that human brat interfering, our odds of winning against the other side were only fifty-fifty. Now that Bao Hua can release the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain, the chance of victory has suddenly dropped to only ten or twenty percent. I don't think continuing to entangle ourselves in this is a wise move. If you, Liu Ji, were here in your true form, I might be willing to take a risk with you, but since it's only an avatar, hehe..." The blue-robed woman pondered for a good while before finally speaking, her heart harboring thoughts of retreat.

"Doing this is letting the tiger return to the mountain. When Baohua recovers her vitality after returning, and comes looking for you again, you will regret it too late." The young woman shouted sharply.

"Hmph, as long as I can destroy Baohua, according to the agreement, I can obtain the cultivation method of the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain and many treasures, which for me..."

"I know what you mean. If there were a great chance of success and such great benefits, I wouldn't need you to tell me; I would continue to strike. But since the chances are slim, why would I make such a crazy choice? Alright, I have made up my mind and have already contacted my other incarnations to stop them from coming. If you, Liu Ji, are still unwilling to give up, feel free to strike alone. Baohua, move me out of the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain." The Blue Waterfall Ancestor waved her hand and said a few words before saying indifferently to Baohua.

The young woman's face naturally became extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoist Lan has indeed made a wise choice." Baohua smiled lightly, and the giant green tree in her hand trembled slightly.

The blue-robed woman only felt the environment around her blur, and she was truly transferred to another place a thousand feet away, appearing outside the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain.

The blue-robed woman felt a chill in her heart, coldly swept a glance at Baohua, Han Li, and the others, then looked at the young woman still trapped in the Spirit Domain, turned around without hesitation, and broke through the air as a blue streak of light.

She actually acted as if she didn't care about Liu Ji's incarnation at all.

"Fine, I admit defeat this time. I will also leave immediately. Baohua, open the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain." The young woman gritted her teeth and said to Baohua.

"Let you leave?" A hint of killing intent flashed in Baohua's eyes.

"Let her go." Just at this moment, Han Li, who was on the side, suddenly said this.

"Good, since it is Fellow Daoist Han's intention, there is not much point in keeping a mere incarnation. Then this Progenitor will spare her life." Baohua looked at Han Li with some surprise, but immediately, not knowing what she thought of, agreed with a smile.

Then, the giant tree in her hand flashed and disappeared, merging into her body, and the pink flower shadows in the sky also disappeared without a trace.

Baohua had actually put away the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain just like that.

Seeing this scene, the young woman turned her gaze to Han Li's face and felt somewhat suspicious.

Clearly, she also didn't know why Han Li would suddenly speak up for her in such a situation. Could it be that he truly intended to be on good terms with her true body in the future?

However, this was not a place to linger, so the young woman forcibly suppressed the doubt in her heart, smiled at Han Li, and also turned into a gray streak of light, breaking through the air and leaving.

Han Li and Baohua truly did not strike to stop them.

But in his heart, Han Li was actually smiling bitterly.

If it were any other Demon Race Ancestor incarnation, he naturally wouldn't have tried to stop them at such a good opportunity, and might even have struck to kill the other party himself.

But regarding Liu Ji's incarnation, with Zi Ling's situation in mind, he dared not act rashly.

Otherwise, if Liu Ji's several incarnations were destroyed one after another, it might truly be Zi Ling's turn to be refined by Liu Ji as an incarnation.

In such a situation, Han Li naturally had to spare the young woman's life; if necessary, he might truly save Zi Ling's life because of this.

"Brother Crab, let's go too. Although these two have temporarily retreated, if they change their minds and come back, Senior Baohua will be unable to swallow a second Heaven Soul Pill." Han Li turned to the Golden Giant Crab and said.

The giant crab nodded slightly, a roar sounded on its body, and it rapidly shrank amidst countless silver electric arcs, returning to the Crab Daoist's human form.

Afterward, it took a large step and arrived at a corner of the flying carriage.

"You know about the Heaven Soul Pill?" Baohua was somewhat surprised by Han Li's words.

"I naturally know about this miraculous medicine, and I even once thought about refining one or two for self-defense, but unfortunately, there were several ingredients I couldn't find, so I had to give up. However, I do know a few things about the medicinal properties of the Heaven Soul Pill. After Senior barely urged the Profound Heaven Spirit Domain to resolve all attacks just now, you should have no power for a second strike. What I said to them just now was merely an empty city strategy." Han Li smiled and said.

"That Heaven Soul Pill was not refined by this Progenitor, but a spiritual medicine I obtained unintentionally. As for whether this Progenitor truly has no power for a second strike, you can guess for yourself, Fellow Daoist." Baohua was unmoved by Han Li's words, said indifferently, and then her figure blurred, and she actually stood on the flying carriage, only a few feet away from Han Li, looking as if she could be touched with a raise of a hand.

Han Li was startled, but his face showed no abnormality, and he didn't intend to dodge, just tapped his foot lightly on the bottom.

Immediately, the flying carriage swayed, transformed into a blurred phantom, and shot away, flying toward the horizon in another direction.

A day later, in the low sky of a secret forest, the flying carriage hovered quietly, but Han Li stood in the flying carriage, pondering with a solemn expression.

And beside him, except for the Crab Daoist and Zhu Guo'er, Baohua was nowhere to be seen.

"Senior, is the information Senior Baohua gave just now true? Can we truly find the entrance to the Small Spirit Heaven according to what is said above?" Zhu Guo'er stared at Han Li without blinking, and finally asked in a small voice, unable to hold back.

The young girl was naturally extremely eager to return to her homeland.

"The item should be true. And with her status, she wouldn't fake this." Han Li exhaled, replied with a forced smile.

"That's great. In that way, this junior also has a day to return to my hometown. However, Senior Han, are you really just letting her go like this?" Zhu Guo'er was overjoyed, her face full of happy smiles, but immediately thought of something and asked with some doubt.

"If I don't let her leave, do you really want me to take her back to the Spirit Realm together?" Han Li's eyes twitched, but he replied nonchalantly.

"But, Senior! With her appearance just now, you could have completely forced her to stay." Zhu Guo'er blinked, her voice lowering a bit as she said.

"Cough, do you really think I didn't want to do that? I just didn't have the certainty. The other party was once one of the Ancestors of the Demon Realm; who knows what life-saving means she still had left to use? I still intend to walk the path of longevity, and I have no interest in perishing together with a demon." Han Li said with a bitter smile, a trace of helplessness appearing on his face.
