Chapter 427

Suddenly, the young man's ghost claw flipped, green light flashed, and a similar green ray shot out, hitting the incoming green rainbow.

Immediately, thunderous sounds rang out!

Black and golden electric arcs erupted, intertwined and collided, forming a huge thunder ball, emitting thunderous sounds without giving way to each other, shaking the hall and buzzing, the momentum was extremely astonishing.

Han Li's eyes shrank suddenly!

"Heavenly Thunder Bamboo," the opponent actually also possessed a magic treasure refined from Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, which shocked him in his heart.

Could it be...

Han Li seemed to have thought of something, and looked intently at the green ray shot by the young man.

In the dazzling electric arc, a foot-long emerald green arrow was fighting fiercely with the giant sword formed by the seven Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords without showing any weakness.

The electric arcs bouncing off it were very different from those on the giant sword; not only was the golden color invisible, but it was mixed with thick black color, as if it had been refined by some evil technique.

Although this was the case, the power of this black thunder arc was extremely great, and in the intertwining with the golden thunder light, it actually gained the upper hand.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but let out a muffled breath.

Didn't expect that his initial suspicion was actually true.

As soon as he saw the arrow stuck in the white skeleton's skull, he felt that the aura it emitted was somewhat familiar, very much like the Gold Thunder Bamboo he had cultivated to completion. But its somewhat black color and the wisps of evil Qi occasionally leaking out made him hesitate.

After all, as far as he knew, Gold Thunder Bamboo had only appeared once in the Chaotic Star Sea, and then disappeared for who knows how many years. How could it be such a coincidence that he ran into it; he really found it hard to believe.

But now it seemed that this arrow that had ambushed the opponent back then was not only made of Gold Thunder Bamboo, but had been refined by the old ghost into a magic treasure; this was truly an extremely ironic thing!

Han Li's mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of mockery.

But he suddenly thought, if the old ghost had suddenly driven the arrow to fly up and attack while he was observing the white skeleton, at such a close distance, wouldn't he have died without a doubt?

Once this thought arose, he couldn't help but think more and more fearfully, only feeling cold sweat rising on his back, truly lingering in fear.

As for the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords not being a match for this arrow, there was nothing strange about it.

These flying swords had been cultivated for too short a time, completely relying on the ability of the Gold Thunder Bamboo to fight, naturally far inferior to the opponent's magic treasure.

If the seven flying swords had been tempered for a slightly longer time, they would definitely not be something that this mere Gold Thunder Bamboo magic treasure of the opponent could contend with.

But after this test, since the opponent really had a way to deal with the "Evil-Warding Divine Thunder" of the Gold Thunder Bamboo, Han Li didn't want to fight the opponent to the death.

After all, from the green shadow at the beginning to the incarnation of the young man now, he hadn't figured out the opponent's true cultivation.

And this person was cunning and treacherous, and his evil techniques and demon arts were even more bizarre and ruthless, impossible to guard against.

If he were to fight him, even with the more than 100,000 Gold-Devouring Beetles as a killer move, he didn't have the confidence to definitely win.

Thinking about it, the opponent's sudden suggestion to stop fighting just now was probably because he saw that his magic treasure was sharp and his cultivation technique was strange, and he was also somewhat wary.

Thinking this way, Han Li beckoned to the giant sword without a word.

Immediately with a "boom," the giant sword disassembled, turning into seven small swords and shooting back to Han Li.

Seeing this, the young man's eyes flashed with cold light, but after a hesitation, he didn't let the arrow continue to pursue, and also recalled his magic treasure.

"If you are really the master of Ancestor Ji Yin? Then wouldn't your age be over a thousand years!" Han Li asked coldly after recalling the flying swords, seemingly somewhat disbelieving.

"Before I cultivated the 'Mysterious Soul Refining Demon Technique,' I had already lived for over six hundred years. After transforming into a mysterious soul body, although I don't know how many years have passed, it's been four or five hundred years! This is thanks to me exhausting my Nascent Soul and cultivating this mysterious soul body. Otherwise, even if my physical body were still here, I would have long since passed away." The young man looked down at his hands that had returned to normal, saying noncommittally.

Han Li heard this, and felt speechless in his heart!

If what the opponent said was true, this person was truly a "thousand-year-old ghost"!

But at the same time, Han Li couldn't help but develop an interest in the Mysterious Soul Refining Demon Technique. Being able to let one's lifespan break through the limitations of ordinary cultivators, he was naturally somewhat tempted.

Thus, Han Li's tone softened as he said.

"In that case, this junior really should call you a senior!"

The young man, hearing this, swept a glance at Han Li, perhaps seeing that Han Li's words didn't match his heart, and gave a cold laugh:

"Senior? I dominated the cultivation world for so many years back then. Didn't expect to end up in such a state of being neither human nor ghost, even giving up the chance to re-enter the six paths of reincarnation. All for the sake of finding those two rebellious disciples and taking this great revenge! If you don't explain your background clearly, I won't let you walk out of here alive, even if it means damaging some of my vitality."

His voice was extremely ordinary, but the ruthless, icy intent in his words was fully revealed.

Han Li gave a bitter smile, but after thinking for a while, he said:

"Senior only asks this junior! Wouldn't this junior be too much at a disadvantage. This junior also has some questions, I wonder if senior can answer one or two?"

The young man, hearing Han Li's words, was stunned for a moment. But then he threw his head back and laughed wildly.

"Good, very good! I can agree to this condition. However, I'm afraid that if you know too much, your little life will be hard to keep."

The young man's madness was fully revealed!

"Hehe, there's no need for senior to worry about this. If this junior isn't mistaken, senior's cultivation now is at most the same as a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and this junior is confident he can handle it." Han Li asked tentatively, paying close attention to the opponent's expression.

But the young man gave a few cold laughs, not revealing any strange expression at all, which made Han Li secretly curse "old fox."

"Stop talking nonsense. You said you obtained it from a jade slip and are not a disciple of my two rebellious disciples; bring the jade slip over for me to see." The young man said coldly, with an aggressive posture.

Han Li frowned, hesitated for a moment, then reached into his storage bag, and flicked his hand.

A jade slip emitting gray-white Qi flew straight toward the young man.

The young man didn't reach out to catch it directly, but lifted his hand, and black Qi turned into a black snake, biting the jade slip in its mouth and flying back to the young man's side.

The young man didn't move his hands or feet, just his blood-red eyes flashed, staring at the jade slip without moving.

After a while, the strange light in his eyes retracted, and then his fingers flicked lightly, and with a "whoosh," the jade slip shot back into Han Li's hand like an arrow. Only then did he slowly say to Han Li:

"Tell me how you obtained this item back then! Just a jade slip is not enough to prove that you have nothing to do with those two rebellious disciples."

Hearing this, Han Li smiled slightly, not answering what the opponent asked, but instead asked on his own:

"Since senior has such great supernatural powers, your reputation back then must have been quite significant. Can you tell this junior your honorable name?"

The young man, seeing Han Li avoiding the question and asking him instead, couldn't help but be furious in his heart, a trace of gloominess appearing between his brows.

But then thinking of something, he still replied coldly:

"Old man Xuan Gu Shangren, Xiao Cha, have you ever heard of it?"

"Xuan Gu Shangren"

Han Li, after hearing this, recalled carefully, but had truly never heard of it.

But he didn't care, instead saying calmly:

"Since senior thinks the jade slip is not enough to prove this junior's identity, then this junior's cultivation technique is not passed down from your lineage; with senior's experience, you should be able to see it. Senior can take another look." After saying this, Han Li raised the Green Origin Sword Art cultivation technique to the extreme, the green light on his body becoming even more dazzling, almost making people dare not look directly at it.

Then, Han Li flicked his ten fingers, and seven or eight Green Origin Sword Rays shot out, piercing several bowl-sized holes in a wall on the side.

"As for the origin of this jade slip, it's very simple! Back then, this junior destroyed an evil cultivator and accidentally found it on the other party. If senior still doesn't believe it, then this junior has nothing more to say, and there is only a battle." Han Li clapped his hands lightly and said lightly.

Xiao Cha stared at the green light on Han Li's body, his face extremely gloomy. After a long time, he said with a slightly softened expression:

"The cultivation technique you practice is indeed not from the Xuan Yin Sutra, and not even a demon cultivation technique; this Saint Ancestor can naturally see it. But you possess a Fiend Core Incarnation and happened to come to this place, so it is only right for the old man to be cautious. However, the old man will ask you one more thing: besides this jade slip, did you obtain anything else from the other party back then?"

Hearing these words from the old demon, Han Li's expression moved; he faintly felt that the opponent had been forcing him for a long time, and it seemed that his ultimate goal was still here.

After thinking this way, Han Li did not respond to this, but instead asked back calmly.

"Since senior has cultivated into a mysterious soul body and has been trapped here for so many years, is it because the Mysterious Soul Condensing Demon Technique has many limitations and flaws, for example, being unable to walk in the daylight, being restrained by some special magic tools..."

"Hmph, do you think I will tell you these things?" As soon as the young man heard Han Li's words, he couldn't help but be furious, his face changing drastically as he interrupted fiercely.

"That's right! Do you think I will tell you some things that senior shouldn't know?" Han Li's expression didn't change as he said indifferently.

Xiao Cha, hearing these cold, mocking words, was stunned for a moment, and the anger on his face gradually dissipated.
