Chapter 325: Blood Spirit Drill

Han Li did not look at the Emperor of Yue's resentful expression; his gaze remained fixed on the dim blood-colored light surrounding him.

A golden ruler, a pair of strange purple blades, and a blue longsword floated in mid-air within the blood light; these were precisely the magic treasures of Song Meng and the others.

At this moment, they remained motionless within the blood light, appearing to have lost their spiritual connection.

A thoughtful look flashed across Han Li's eyes. It seemed this person's protective demonic light was specifically designed to corrupt ordinary magic treasures; only the pair of Black Dragon Hooks on his own body would not fear such evil arts.

Moreover, since only this person had appeared alone so far, it seemed that the blue-robed man who called himself the Black Fiend Sect Master had truly died under the Heavenly Thunder Bead.

Thinking of this, Han Li felt a sense of relief. However, he had no intention of giving the opponent a moment to breathe. With a command from his spiritual sense, the dozen or so puppets before him launched an attack. Light arrows and light beams of various colors poured down in succession, striking toward the opponent.

Although Song Meng and the others on the side were terrified that their magic treasures had been seized and dared not use them again, upon seeing Han Li launch an attack, they simultaneously began chanting incantations and throwing various spells and talismans downward. They knew very well that only by defeating this last enemy in one go could they save their lives and escape the nightmare of their fellow disciples' tragic deaths.

Below, the Emperor of Yue remained expressionless, but with a light swipe of his bare hand in front of him, a massive blood-colored light shield blocked his front. All attacks were easily intercepted by this manifested giant shield. However, the Emperor of Yue's own blood light grew increasingly thin, even giving the impression that it was on the verge of collapse, which caused Han Li and the others above to intensify their attacks.

The Emperor of Yue let out a cold snort. Without a word, he reached into his robe and produced a small dark green bottle.

He nimbly poured out a pill the size of a dragon's eye. The pill was entirely scarlet and emitted a pungent, bloody stench; it certainly did not look like a good medicine. Yet, the Emperor of Yue swallowed it without hesitation and tossed the bottle aside; the bottle had contained only this single pill.

As soon as the blood-colored pill entered the Emperor of Yue's stomach, something that shocked Han Li occurred.

He saw the Emperor of Yue's spirit suddenly lift, and immediately, the blood light on his body became dazzling once more, while various wounds vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye. In this brief instant, the great enemy in Han Li's eyes became calm and composed again. It was as if his depleted magic power and all his injuries had returned to the state they were in before Han Li used the Heavenly Thunder Bead.

"Hell! How could such a thing exist in this world!"

Seeing this, Song Meng even forgot to throw the dozen ice cones that had already formed in his hands, muttering in disbelief.

Han Li was also extremely shocked; he likewise did not know what the opponent had consumed to have such heaven-defying effects.

In all the various ancient texts he had read, such a situation had never been mentioned!

"He consumed a Marrow-Cultivating Pill. This is a life-saving medicine that can only be refined by those who have practiced certain special demonic arts and are willing to sacrifice their own cultivation. This kind of thing can only be consumed by oneself; to others, it is a fatal poison." A cold voice came from behind Chen Chen Qiaoqian. Han Li couldn't help but be slightly startled, while Chen Chen Qiaoqian turned back, her face full of surprise.

"Senior Sister Zhong, you're alright!"

"I am fine, nothing serious! However, seeing this monster who killed Senior Brother Liu, I must kill him!" Zhong Zhong Weiniang, who had finally regained consciousness, managed a faint smile at Chen Chen Qiaoqian before her expression turned cold.

"We all want to kill him, but the key is that he has the same idea right now!" Han Li said indifferently without turning his head after hearing Zhong Zhong Weiniang's words.

Hearing this, Zhong Zhong Weiniang was stunned and looked down, only to see her expression turn ugly.

The great enemy below, the Emperor of Yue, had actually retracted the light shield into his body while they were talking, and the blood light on his body had surged to two or three zhang in thickness. The magic treasures he had seized were gradually dissolving within the blood light.

Various spells and puppet attacks were blocked outside the blood light, and before this, his protective light had only been a few feet thick. This person's cultivation had already far surpassed what it was before.

He raised his head and looked coldly at Han Li and the others, then suddenly reached out an arm and grabbed at the air behind him. A fiery red bead darted out from somewhere behind him and landed accurately in his hand.

Seeing this, a strange look flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he thought of the blue-robed man who had died under his Heavenly Thunder Bead. It seemed this bead was left behind by that person. Now that the "Blood-Condensing Five Elements Pill" was complete, as long as he could kill this monster, he would obtain these treasures that were of great benefit to Core Formation.

"Kid, do you still have any Heavenly Thunder Beads? If you do, I'll stand right here and take another one from you, just to see if your Heavenly Thunder Bead is more powerful or if my protective demonic art is deeper." The Emperor of Yue carefully tucked the bead into his robe and looked at Han Li, speaking in a cold voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the air was startled and couldn't help but look at Han Li again.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly snorted in his heart and replied calmly:

"I am also very curious whether you are the Black Fiend Sect Master or if it was that other person. And it seems you have already absorbed most of that person's cultivation! I am a bit puzzled that there are such cultivators in this world willing to act as a stepping stone for others."

Han Li did not answer the opponent's question but instead brought up another topic, clearly showing his intent to go tit-for-tat!

However, upon hearing this, the Emperor of Yue showed a strange expression, looking both mocking and regretful. But then, as if thinking of something, the baleful aura on his face grew stronger, and his eyebrows stood upright.

Han Li's heart tightened. He immediately parted his lips slightly and whispered a few words to the others, causing Chen Chen Qiaoqian and Song Meng to look stunned.

Seeing this, Han Li said coldly:

"I have said what I needed to say; whether you believe it or not is up to you!"

Han Li did not use telepathy for this sentence, so even the Emperor of Yue below heard it clearly. His face turned cold, and he suddenly pointed a finger. A red beam of light, as thick as a thumb, flashed and vanished, reaching Han Li in the blink of an eye.

Han Li was startled. Although shocked by the speed of the red light, he still managed to overlap his White Phosphorus Shield and Turtle Shell magic treasure to block it, and then a green light emerged on his body, forming a green light shield. Facing this attack of unknown origin, Han Li dared not be the slightest bit careless.

"Puff," "Puff," two soft sounds came. Almost at the same time he heard the sounds, Han Li subconsciously leaned his body sharply to the side. Then, a heat sensation hit his right shoulder, followed by intense pain.

Han Li turned his head with an extremely ugly expression, only to see fresh blood streaming from his right shoulder, where a blood hole the size of a finger had appeared.

Licking his slightly dry upper lip, Han Li looked at the two magic treasures in front of him in disbelief.

A fine hole of the same size appeared on the overlapping White Phosphorus Shield and Turtle Shell magic treasure; they had also been pierced through by that inconspicuous red light. As for the Green Origin Sword Shield on his body, it had played no role at all, collapsing upon contact and having long since been dissolved by the red light without a trace.

Seeing this, Han Li's heart sank!

If he hadn't practiced the Luo Smoke Steps for a long time and been agile enough, he would have been pierced through the heart and died from that single blow. In this cultivation world, if one is not careful, anyone could lose their life.

The more Han Li thought about it, the more his heart felt uneasy.

Although he knew the opponent had absorbed most of the blue-robed man's magic power and must be far stronger than before, he hadn't expected him to be this ridiculously powerful; this was far beyond his expectations.

Han Li did not know that while he was currently extremely terrified, the Emperor of Yue below was even more shocked that this strike hadn't killed Han Li.

Don't be fooled by the ease with which he performed that move; in reality, this "Blood Spirit Drill" was a one-time attack he had prepared by slowly condensing and compressing some of his true essence dozens of times during his daily cultivation, hiding it in his body to kill people by surprise.

Not only was it excruciatingly painful to condense, but it also took a very long time to refine a single one; it was one of the killing moves of the demonic arts he practiced.

In the past, he had been invincible whenever he used it; no cultivator had ever escaped this strike. Yet now, it had only slightly injured Han Li. How could he not be surprised!

Now, he only had one Blood Spirit Drill left in his body. Should he try attacking Han Li again? This made him somewhat hesitant.

Chen Chen Qiaoqian and the others also witnessed the attack and saw Han Li's injury, and their expressions changed drastically.

Unknowingly, Han Li had become the backbone of this group, and his unexpected injury caused the others to panic.

"Go!" After Han Li moved his gaze away from the wound, he spat out the word without hesitation.

Then, he poured magic power wildly into the Divine Wind Boat beneath his feet, and his figure flashed as he flew to the side.

Song Meng, Zhong Zhong Weiniang, and the others heard this, exchanged glances, and followed closely behind Han Li as they fled.

Seeing this, the Emperor of Yue was stunned for a moment, but then he sneered.

His figure flashed, and he reached mid-air, preparing to fly up and pursue them. However, before his eyes, ten puppets of various forms surrounded him tightly.
