Chapter 2245: Volume 11: True Immortal Descends to the World Chapter 2226 Slaying the Ferocious Insect

Han Li's expression remained unchanged; he merely raised his arm, and one hand spread its five fingers to block in front of him.

In an instant, with a puffing sound at the fingertips, five golden light balls shot out, then flashed and swelled wildly in the wind, and with a "Boom—" they coalesced into one, forming a car-sized golden vortex.

As the vortex merely spun, an invisible suction force was drawn out from within.

The incoming invisible sound waves were instantly turned into countless streams of light and sucked in.

But at this moment, the human-faced insect flickered and, like a ghost, appeared near Han Li, then without hesitation shook its several sharp forelegs, instantly turning into a black light shadow that stabbed straight at Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes, but let out a low shout and pointed a single hand at the vortex before him.

Instantly, the vortex violently expanded and contracted, actually transforming into a burst of golden light that exploded outward.

The next moment, a "hissing" sound rose loudly, and countless green threads shot out from the golden light, rushing straight to pierce through the human-faced insect.

Seeing this, the huge ferocious insect flashed a ferocious look on its face, but instead of dodging, it actually seized the opportunity to urge on those dense streaks of light.

These black streaks, possessing some unfathomable mysterious power, merely blurred and directly spanned over ten zhang in distance, arriving right before Han Li within arm's reach.

With the insect's ferocity fully aroused, it formed the intention of suffering mutual destruction with Han Li.

But what kind of person is Han Li? Although somewhat surprised by the human-faced insect's ferocity, how could he truly allow this to happen?

He merely contracted his pupils slightly, then suddenly swept one hand through the empty space before him.

With a few "puff" sounds, more than ten layers of gray light curtains suddenly appeared out of nowhere before him.

And the next moment, those black streaks plunged headfirst into these light curtains.

A loud "hiss—" sound arose!

These streaks seemed incredibly sharp, actually piercing through all the light curtains in one breath, and with undiminished power, they struck Han Li's protective spirit light.

A sharp metallic friction sound came from afar.

Han Li's body surface instantly turned purple-gold, while inside, countless silver patterns faintly appeared and disappeared.

At the moment those black streaks made contact, they all dimmed and rebounded wildly, actually unable to pierce his spirit light in the slightest.

This protective spirit light, formed by the fusion of the Fan Sheng True Devil Art and the Hundred Veins Refining Treasure Technique, when Han Li exerted it fully, even a general Mahayana cultivator would be unable to do anything about it for a time.

Moreover, although this human-faced insect is ferocious, it still falls short of a Mahayana existence by a measure.

But at this time, those green crystal threads struck the human-faced insect's black carapace like rain hitting a hedge, and in a flash pierced through.

The human-faced insect let out a miserable cry, and countless streams of dark green liquid shot out from its entire body.

But the insect immediately showed a fierce expression on its face, let out a low roar, and its body flowed with uncertain gray-white light; the fine pores on its surface actually healed at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, this insect's wounds were about to recover completely.

Seeing this, Han Li coldly snorted, pinched a seal with one hand, and uttered the word "Slash".

In an instant, the green threads that had pierced through the human-faced insect's body suddenly intertwined and condensed, actually transforming into a flying sword of murky green, which after a lightning-fast turn, unexpectedly circled around the human-faced insect's head.

The head on the giant insect's neck immediately rolled down with a "gurgling" sound, and then the green sword light flared again, submerging the giant insect's remaining body within it.

Amid the icy sword light, the human-faced insect's body was instantly chopped into a rain of blood, and even the Primordial Spirit hidden within had no time to escape in the slightest.

These two ferocious giant insects were actually slain in the blink of an eye.

After Han Li gave a light smile and retrieved the green flying sword, he then swept his gaze over the other battle groups.

As soon as his gaze swept over, he immediately heard a mournful cry coming from the direction he was looking,

but it was the giant insect facing Xie Lian, somehow tightly bound by three silver rings, unable to move in the slightest.

Following this, a flash of white light sprayed by that woman passed by, and it hard-cut the insect's body into two pieces from the middle.

This Xie Lian Holy Ancestor, truly worthy of being the sister of the Precious Flower, indeed possesses extraordinary divine powers, not comparable to ordinary Mahayana cultivators.

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself in this way.

Almost at the same time, in the sky on the other side, a sudden earth-shaking, mountain-moving roar came, and the entire void trembled violently a few times.

Han Li and the just-victorious Xie Lian both felt their hearts jolt, and hurriedly looked toward the source of the roar.

Only to see at the edge of the plaza on one side, a huge pit with astonishing diameter had appeared out of nowhere on the ground.

The blue human-faced insect lay at the bottom of the pit, its whole body scorched black; its original blue-shining carapace was completely shattered inch by inch, its massive head had vanished half, and beneath it, the insect's whole body was covered in green blood, actually unable to move due to severe injury.

And above the pit in the high sky, Xie Dao Ren hovered there, each hand holding a silver giant blade.

After sweeping his gaze downward expressionlessly, he without hesitation brought the two giant blades in his hands together sharply.

A thunderclap!

The two giant blades instantly turned into two thick silver arcs like bowl rims, and in a flash merged into one, transforming into a silver spear flashing with electric light.

Xie Dao Ren merely moved one arm, and hurled this thunder spear fiercely downward from the high sky.

After the silver spear blurred, it vanished into thin air with a thunderclap.

The next moment, a muffled sound came from inside the pit, and the silver spear appeared out of nowhere embedded in the insect's body, then after a tremor, it exploded open.

Layer upon layer of silver electric threads filled the entire pit.

Though the blue giant insect was also quite formidable, under Xie Dao Ren's near-full-power lightning divine ability strike, it could only let out a few helpless cries before quickly vanishing into nothing.

At this time, Xie Dao Ren took a step, and his body flickered and disappeared in the high sky.

Following this, a ripple arose beside Han Li, and Xie Dao Ren appeared there with a calm expression.

"Brother Xie, well done. The ferocious insect you dealt with is probably not inferior to an ordinary Mahayana cultivator in strength, yet you managed to slay it in one strike so quickly." Han Li turned his head and said praisefully.

"Compared to a true Mahayana cultivator, its strength is still somewhat lacking. But if an ordinary Mahayana cultivator encountered this insect, they would probably find it hard to gain the upper hand." Xie Dao Ren's expression remained unchanged, but he said lightly.

"Indeed, setting aside the strength of these ferocious insects, their fearless, death-defying methods are indeed beyond ordinary Mahayana cultivators." Han Li's smile faded slightly, and he said solemnly.

"Not bad. That Green Stone Daoist friend clearly had the upper hand, but facing the mutual destruction tactic, he was temporarily unable to do anything to the opponent. If not, we would all join forces to finish it off." Xie Lian glanced at Han Li and Xie Dao Ren, then looked at the three slain giant insect carcasses, and suddenly smiled charmingly as she spoke.

Han Li turned his gaze and saw that the Green Stone Old Ancestor on that side was indeed temporarily unable to subdue the last human-faced insect, so he smiled and prepared to raise his head to answer something, but then the Green Stone Old Ancestor suddenly shouted loudly:

"No need for the three Daoist friends to interfere; a mere small insect, how could this old ancestor truly fail to subdue it? Heaven-Supporting Azure Seal!"

Seeing that others had easily dealt with their opponents while he alone remained entangled in battle, the Green Stone Old Ancestor felt unable to save face, and after a loud shout, he shook his sleeve, and suddenly nine identical azure stone seals flew out, spinning in the air, then merged with the previous golden great seal, forming a azure great seal whose surface was entwined with countless golden runes, and he pressed it down upon the giant insect.

A humming sound rang out between heaven and earth, and the power of laws stirred within the void inside a radius of about half a kilometer.

The human-faced insects below instantly felt their entire bodies sink, unable to move even slightly.

As the azure giant seal rolled downward, it carried a shocking, mighty power and smashed onto the giant worm, instantly crushing it into a pulp of flesh.

Seeing this, the Green Stone Elder relaxed slightly, exhaled lightly, and with a single hand forming a seal, pointed at the giant seal, drawing its blurred form back into his sleeve.

However, at this moment, the green aura surrounding him had noticeably faded by two degrees, and his own aura had also weakened somewhat.

Clearly, the use of that divine ability had taken a significant toll on him and was not something he could easily unleash.

"This is the Holding-Heaven Azure Seal—truly lives up to its name. I heard that although this treasure is not a Profound Heaven spiritual object, its power is already comparable to that of a Profound Heaven treasure. Now that I've seen it, it truly lives up to its reputation!" Xie Lian witnessed this scene, her eyes flickering for a moment, then she lightly laughed and spoke.

"Please forgive the laughter, fellow Daoists. If I didn't resort to my hidden ace, I fear I truly couldn't have subdued this ferocious worm in such a short time." The Green Stone Elder gave a bitter laugh, acknowledging his own limitations, and quickly replied.

Clearly, by now this Nascent Soul cultivator from another realm had realized he was the weakest among the four, and couldn't help but feel a slight unease in his heart.

"Since these four creatures have been dealt with, there should be no other insect worms inside. Let's go in." Han Li glanced toward the not-so-distant hall, thoughtful, and said.

"Han Brother makes sense! Brother Crab, Fellow Daoist Green Stone, let's go in and take a look first." Xie Lian smiled, noncommittal, and said.

Green Stone naturally had no objection.

Thus, the four immediately flickered and flew straight into the hall.

As soon as they entered the hall's gate, Xie Lian and the Green Stone Elder both slightly changed expression.

Only to see behind the hall gate, piles upon piles of white bone remnants lay scattered, and nearby, some objects flickered faintly—broken fragments of armor and weapons.

"Fellow Daoist Xie Lian, these are…?" the Green Stone Elder couldn't help but ask.

"They should have been the guards who originally guarded the underground palace. It seems that when the Mother of the Insect Worms broke free from the seal, they didn't have time to escape the underground palace and became food for these ferocious worms." Xie Lian let out a soft sigh, replied in two sentences, then shook her sleeve, and instantly a string of crimson fireballs shot out. Red light flashed, and in an instant, all the bones were reduced to flying ash.

(Sweat, this chapter was really hard to write!) To be continued
