Chapter 2251

"Hmph, this also requires other fellow Daoists to be willing to cooperate. Otherwise, if we make a move, they might take the opportunity to slip away over there." Han Li transmitted back with a cold snort.

"Junior Brother Han, rest assured. The Phoenix Spirit Plate I gifted has already been tampered with in advance. As soon as I will it, the Phoenix Spirit Plate will temporarily be unusable. Once other fellow Daoists learn of this, they will naturally understand the stakes."

After the precious flower smiled faintly, she informed Han Li of something that left him stunned……

Following this, the woman slightly moved her lips and actually transmitted sound to the others.

Han Li's eyes shifted, and he glanced at the ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman.

As a result, upon hearing Baohua's few words of sound transmission, the expressions of these two instantly froze on their faces, but immediately anger surfaced, and they glared at Baohua with vicious eyes.

Yet Baohua remained composed, even showing a faint smile toward the two.

Seeing this, the old man and the black-robed woman's inner fury can be imagined. If not for still facing a terrifying formidable enemy before them, they might very well have turned against Baohua on the spot.

However, at this moment, the young girl did not allow those present to ponder further. After savoring the taste of the burly man's Nascent Soul, her eyes flickered as she swept downward, then giggled again and said:

"Have you decided on compensation? How about this: you hand over all your Nascent Souls, I'll eat one or two more—perhaps that will suffice—and the rest may leave in peace. What do you think?"

"You are seriously underestimating us, truly believing such an obvious provocation would work on us. If you strike down another of us, the rest might truly be at your mercy." Baohua replied calmly, and without hesitation, made a single-handed grasping motion in the void.

Instantly, the earth-yellow nail embedded in the black crystalline stone trembled and vanished abruptly.

The next moment, a yellow radiance flashed in Baohua's jade hand, and the Earth Emperor Nail silently appeared.

"Oh, so you intend to fight me? Somewhat interesting—just now you could block one of my strikes without dying, which counts for something. But the Nascent Soul I most desire to eat now is not yours. It's this person's. Tsk tsk, such powerful spiritual sense—his Nascent Soul must be a hundred times more delicious than that previous one." The young girl laughed, shaking her head, and pointed her finger at another person below.

Han Li's expression changed slightly—the person pointed to by the young girl's slender finger was none other than himself.

Baohua and the others, upon seeing this, were also somewhat startled.

Hearing the words of this insect mother, Han Li's spiritual sense was so powerful it seemed even superior to Baohua, this primordial ancestor.

This surprised everyone somewhat.

"So it turns out you find my Nascent Soul more delicious, Fellow Daoist Han! As long as you can accomplish this, feel free to come and take it." Han Li's expression shifted rapidly, then faded into a light smile as he spoke, seemingly not taking the young girl's threatening words to heart at all.

Baohua and the others beside him saw this, their faces revealing nothing, yet inwardly they couldn't help but feel a few parts admiration!

Facing such a terrifying existence as the insect mother, it is not just anyone who could remain so calm and chat and laugh so freely.

"This is what you said. Then I won't stand on ceremony—I will properly enjoy the deliciousness of your Nascent Soul." The young girl extended a pink tongue tip, licked her lips twice, then suddenly smiled innocently, clenched both fists tightly, and her form instantly blurred into a phantom that shot downward.

With such incredible escape speed, Han Li had just heard the sound of breaking space when the phantom suddenly appeared right before him—a fist rolling with black flames merely probed forward, as if tearing through space, and pierced straight through Han Li's chest.

The phantom condensed, and the young girl's form reappeared, smiling gently.

But the next moment, the young girl's smiling face suddenly changed—without any warning, a jade thread flashed from Han Li's body, and in an instant, it cleaved her body cleanly in half.

At this moment, Han Li, whose chest had been pierced by the fist, transformed into a cluster of golden light and exploded outward.

In another patch of void over ten zhang away, a ripple stirred, and another Han Li stepped forward expressionlessly, holding a jade-green longsword that trembled slightly, as if threads of law power were seeping out from within.

"Profound Heaven Treasure—this longsword of yours is indeed a Profound Heaven artifact! No wonder you could evade that strike; it seems capturing you will require some effort."

The sound of a soft, giggling laugh echoed once more!

A strange scene appeared: the young girl, severed into two pieces, had no blood visible between her two body parts—instead, they hovered silently in the void, both mouths simultaneously splitting into a light, eerie laugh as they spoke.

But the strangeness of her smile caused the ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman, upon seeing it, to simultaneously shudder with a cold shiver, their hearts filled with utter shock.

At this moment, Baohua beside them suddenly raised one hand, and the earth-yellow nail in her hand shot forth, while her delicate body twisted and vanished in a flash of pink light.

Meanwhile, the old man and the black-robed woman heard Baohua's sound transmission in their ears: "Fellow Daoists, if you do not act as I previously instructed, only by destroying the insect mother's body can we few truly escape! I and Daoist Han cannot hold onto her Primordial Spirit incarnation for long."

The ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman's faces showed hesitation, shifting several times, but after exchanging a glance, they each gritted their teeth, and their escape lights surged forward simultaneously, transforming into two startling rainbows that plunged straight into the water below.

By this time, even if these two were still furious about Baohua's earlier tampering with the Phoenix Spirit Plate, they could only grit their teeth and continue cooperating in absorption.

"Courting death"

Upon seeing the two's movements, the young girl's expression changed, she let out a low shout from her mouth, intending to intervene, but before her eyes, a yellow radiance flashed, and a massive nail appeared blurred before her two body halves. After a tremor, it suddenly transformed into a yellow silk net that descended to envelop them.

Countless yellow runes tumbled within the silk net, and an extremely intense law power seeped out from within.

The young girl's eyes flashed with cold light—her two body parts merely trembled, then exploded simultaneously, transforming into countless black threads that shot outward in all directions, fleeing first from the yellow silk net's enveloping range.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression turned fierce, he let out a loud shout, purple-gold light blazed across his body, and his Profound Heaven Slashing Spirit Sword twisted in his hand, actually transforming into countless green threads that shot outward. After flashing wildly, they vanished into the chaotic void, then strangely appeared directly before those black threads, and he suddenly turned and slashed wildly at them.

A continuous "pupu" sound came through.

Those black threads, upon being cut by the green threads, shrank slightly and exploded, transforming into clusters of black mist.

Han Li's expression darkened, he pointed a finger forward into the void, preparing to drive those green threads to sweep away this black mist completely.

But at this moment, those clusters of black mist suddenly dispersed, vanishing into pink particles at their original location.

The next moment, in another nearby patch of void, black light flashed, and the young girl appeared unharmed from within.

As she faced Han Li and let out a cold snort, she pinched a seal with one hand, about to unleash some divine ability, when suddenly a strange fragrance assaulted her body—countless pink flower petals drifted and appeared in the surrounding void, and simultaneously, the air around her tightened abruptly, becoming extremely viscous.

The young girl startled, about to break free when, above her amidst countless flower petals, Baohua silently appeared, holding aloft a massive orb of light, and suddenly raised it high.

The orb exploded instantly, countless runes surged out from within, and immediately began to swirl and dance wildly in the vicinity, flashing unpredictably, magnificently beautiful.

At the center of the explosion, a thread of green light passed, and a sprig of emerald grass silently appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a half-foot-tall emerald sapling, still growing frantically at a visible speed.

In an instant, a towering emerald tree took shape in Baohua's jade hand, its branches dotted with pink lights, which then transformed into clusters of pink flower buds, instantly covering the entire tree's treetops.

Melodious Buddhist chants flowed from Baohua's sandalwood mouth, the flower buds slowly unfurled, and the entire great tree's color shifted from emerald to pink.

In an instant, Buddhist chants echoed through the vast void, wherever the eye could see, there were only clusters of pink flower shadows—within a radius of several thousand zhang, the space had entirely become a pink ocean, as if it had become its own world.

"Profound Heaven Spirit Domain"

The young girl could no longer maintain the smile on her face—she lost her voice in exclamation, and immediately, a ferocious expression appeared on her face, countless gray-white runes materialized out of nowhere on her body surface, the surrounding void blurred and twisted, as if she were straining desperately to break free from the Spirit Domain's bonds.

And the entire feathered canopy also began to violently tremble, as if it truly could not restrain the young girl much longer.

Seeing this, Baohua's expression changed, and she urgently shouted at Han Li in a low voice:

"Daoist Han, act quickly."

As her words fell, she suddenly grabbed the flower tree with one hand, tearing off a branch laden with huge flowers as if it were nothing, and slashed it downward toward the young girl in the void. The numerous huge flowers on the branch instantly transformed into five-colored runes that flickered and vanished, while the young girl, trapped at the center of the Spirit Domain, let out a miserable cry—one of her arms vanished into thin air as if turned to vapor.

At the same time, the branch in Baohua's hand also turned into flying ash and ceased to exist.

But the next moment, black mist rolled on the young girl's shoulder, and a brand-new arm immediately reappeared, restored to its original state.

But the treasure flower showed no hesitation at all, and with one hand it reached out again, and two more branches of the flower tree appeared in its hand, and it once again slashed through the void toward the girl.

With two soft "puff" sounds, this time the girl's left and right arms simultaneously flickered and vanished into vapor.

Seeing this, the girl's eyes flashed with fierce light, her small face full of ferocious expression, but after the black aura passed, two new arms similarly sprouted out.

At this moment, Han Li on the other side wore a solemn expression as he pinched a seal, and immediately a burst of explosive crackling sounds came from within his body, followed by a great outpouring of golden light on his body surface, upon which purple-gold scales appeared, a short horn grew on his forehead, and after the golden light rolled over his shoulders and ribs, two additional heads identical to the first and four more arms shrouded in golden light suddenly sprouted out.

After the three heads let out a great roar, black lines appeared between their brows, and simultaneously the third pitch-black demonic eye split open, within which flashed astonishing purple-gold light.

Han Li actually executed the Nirvana Sacred Body all at once, and instantly operated it to the extreme.

Now his aura was more than ten times stronger than before, and with a single movement of his six arms, he simultaneously seized the Profound Heaven Slaying Spirit Sword and fiercely slashed toward the distant trapped girl.
