Chapter 550: Lightning Evasion Technique

As the days passed, the interval between the eruptions of the Wind Spirit Energy in Han Li's body became longer and longer.

From once every few hours at the beginning, to once every half day, and finally, it took a whole day for Han Li to suppress it once. Moreover, the power of the flare-ups also became weaker and weaker each time.

Finally, after a flare-up with a two-day interval, the Wind Spirit Energy stabilized, and the Wind-Splitting Beast actually gave up on manipulating it.

Han Li was naturally overjoyed.

Whether it was because the demon beast had fallen too far behind, causing the magic seal to fail, or because the opponent had encountered other troubles, this was the best time to escape.

Han Li drank a drop of spirit liquid without hesitation, identified a direction, and broke through the air without any more worries, flying far away from the nearby sea area.

On a small island tens of thousands of miles away from Han Li, the Wind-Splitting Beast sat cross-legged in a deserted cave, meditating with a livid face.

After such a long period of chasing back and forth, it had finally exhausted its magic power and could no longer suppress the foreign object in its body.

This demon couldn't be as extravagant as Han Li, who could instantly recover magic power using ten-thousand-year spirit liquid. Helpless, it had to stay on this island, preparing to spend some time to completely resolve the hidden trouble in its body before going to hunt down Han Li.

It must get back that pair of Wind-Thunder Wings it had spent so much effort to refine.

This ninth-level Wind-Splitting Beast made a venomous vow in its heart, filled with hatred, before bitterly closing its eyes and entering a state of self-forgetful spiritual sense.

More than a month later, Han Li also appeared on an unfamiliar deserted island.

Seeing that there were indeed no signs of human cultivators or high-tier demon beasts nearby, he plunged into this island and quickly opened up an extremely simple stone cave.

After setting up a few concealment arrays at the entrance, he hurriedly entered the cave, sat down, and took out the pair of Wind-Thunder Wings.

Looking at the wings in his hand, which had shrunk to the size of a palm, Han Li couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

Since this pair of spirit wings required Wind-Thunder power to be driven, and that ninth-level demon cultivator Feng Xi itself only possessed Wind power, it meant that it didn't require possessing both Wind and Thunder power simultaneously; as long as one possessed one of them, one could use this treasure.

Han Li himself could drive the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, so he naturally had the ability to master this treasure.

And if this object were truly as miraculous as that Wind-Splitting Beast demon said, mastering it a day earlier would be of great benefit to his future survival.

However, looking closely at the pair of spirit wings in Han Li's hand, the silver-white long feathers on them showed signs of being slightly unstable and shaking.

Han Li knew at a glance that this was because the treasure had been taken out too early and had not yet been completely set and solidified.

Although this wouldn't result in all his previous efforts being wasted as the opponent had alarmingly claimed, dragging it out for too long would indeed greatly reduce its power.

But Han Li didn't show any signs of panic; instead, he immediately used his fingernail to cut a small opening on his index finger and dripped a drop of essence blood onto the wings. Then, using a magic seal to urge it, he completed the master-recognition ritual first.

Seeing this pair of wings absorb the essence blood, a cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he tossed them into the air with one hand.

The Wind-Thunder Wings were directly thrown into mid-air, then floated there as if weightless, remaining motionless.

Without even looking, Han Li flicked his ten fingers, and strands of slender electric arcs shot out from his hands, shooting onto the spirit wings, erupting with bursts of low thunderous sounds.

Han Li's expression was solemn, and the golden arcs in his hands flicked out more and more densely.

Before long, a pale golden electric arc barrier appeared in the air, wrapping the Wind-Thunder Wings inside.

The thunderous sound changed from high to low.

Watching the Wind-Thunder Wings inside the electric barrier absorbing the electric arcs of the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder bit by bit, Han Li finally felt relieved.

Over the next dozen days, relying on the divine thunder in his hands, Han Li gradually stabilized the Wind-Thunder feathers on the spirit wings. Moreover, because they absorbed the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, some golden threads appeared in the silver long feathers. If one didn't look closely, it was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

After completing the artifact setting that the Wind-Splitting Beast and the other demons hadn't finished, Han Li immediately retracted the lightning arcs, and a sheet of green light sprayed out, rolling up the Wind-Thunder Wings and absorbing them into his body.

Afterward, he left the stone cave and flew to the sky above the small island, preparing to test the usage and supernatural powers of this treasure.

Standing at a high altitude, Han Li took a light breath and secretly channeled his magic power to mobilize the Wind-Thunder Wings magic treasure in his body.

As a result, he only felt a surge of spiritual energy behind his back, followed by two "Puff, puff" sounds, and a pair of wings about a zhang long appeared out of thin air behind him.

Silver-white long feathers, containing faint golden light.

Han Li turned his head to look, and with a movement of his intent, the wings flapped lightly twice.

There was no weight at all, existing as if it were nothing.

He curiously reached out his palm to stroke one of the Wind-Thunder Wings; it felt cool and had a slightly numbing sensation.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned, and with a slight exertion of his five fingers, his entire palm easily inserted into it.

"What is this?" Han Li was startled in his heart and immediately performed an internal inspection of his body.

That pair of palm-sized Wind-Thunder Wings was still resting steadily above his dantian, faintly emitting white light; what appeared outside his body was not the true form of the treasure, but wings completely transformed by spiritual power.

This caught Han Li by surprise!

After steadying his mind, Han Li began to pour magic power into this pair of wings. As a result, silver light flickered on the wings behind his back, and with a slight flap, his person "Whoosh"ed forward, easily moving through the air.

After flying back and forth a few times, Han Li stopped and touched his chin, pondering for a while.

The speed was nothing extraordinary and not much faster than before; it seemed he really had to try injecting lightning power.

Thinking of this, Han Li did not hesitate to mobilize the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, and two pale golden electric arcs were transmitted into the spirit wings in his body.

Instantly, thunderous sounds came from behind him. Han Li hurriedly scanned with his eyes; silver-white electric arcs flickered on the wings, and they involuntarily spread out to the sides, exuding a strange aura.

With a movement of Han Li's spiritual sense, a muffled "Boom—" sound occurred, silver light flashed before his eyes, and his person appeared more than ten zhang away as if teleporting.

"Lightning Evasion Technique!"

Han Li was first startled, then overjoyed.

Afterward, the wings behind his back flapped lightly, and his person appeared in another place twenty or thirty zhang away amidst the thunderous sounds.

In the following time, Han Li transformed into a silver lightning arc, appearing in the distance and disappearing nearby in the high altitude, moving a hundred zhang in an instant, his whole person drifting and uncertain, appearing extremely ghostly.

"It truly deserves to be the most mysterious Lightning Evasion Technique; its speed is far beyond what ordinary Five Elements Evasion Techniques can compare to! I wonder how much more heaven-defying it will become after this magic treasure is cultivated for a long time. No wonder the ninth-level Wind-Splitting Beast would go to such lengths to refine this treasure. With its originally rare speed in the world, coupled with this pair of Wind-Thunder Wings, it is estimated that the number of people or demons in the world capable of slaying it can be counted on one's fingers." Han Li, who had appeared again in a silver arc, stroked one of the wings with a face full of joy and muttered to himself. Then, after a flash of white light around his body, the wings dissipated on their own.

Han Li had no intention of staying here for long and planned to quickly leave the Outer Star Sea and return to the Inner Sea.

Because he knew very well that although he had temporarily shaken off the pursuit of the ninth-level Wind-Splitting Beast, with that demon's perverted speed, it wouldn't be long before it searched the nearby sea area and came hunting again. He wouldn't obediently wait in place for this demon to find him.

The Inner Star Sea is the world of human cultivators. It is estimated that no matter how vast this demon's supernatural powers are, it would never dare to penetrate deep into it.

Once he condensed his Nascent Soul in the Inner Star Sea, he would no longer need to fear this demon.

As for the matter of being hunted by those Nascent Soul old monsters because of the Void Heaven Cauldron, thirty or forty years had passed, so the heat should have mostly died down.

Moreover, with his late Core Formation cultivation, as long as he didn't run into powerful fellows like Man Man Huzi, even if he couldn't fight head-on against the likes of Extreme Yin, he would still be able to escape.

After deciding on his plan, Han Li returned to the stone cave on the island and slightly checked the storage bags of the turtle demon and the poison flood dragon.

Inside, they were actually filled with numerous demon beast cores and some extremely rare and precious raw materials.

Especially among these materials, he also discovered a fist-sized pitch-black turtle shell and more than a hundred blood-red scales. These should be things the two demons had shed themselves when transforming, making them even more precious.

This gave Han Li an unexpected surprise!

If these two things were refined into protective armor, it definitely wouldn't be inferior to Man Man Huzi's Imperial Scale Armor.

However, Han Li naturally wouldn't be busy with this matter now; instead, he retracted the formation flags at the cave entrance, left the island, and headed directly toward the sea area where the Miaoyin Sect's market was located.

Since the Miaoyin Sect had already built a teleportation array, it was estimated that after such a long time, it should be about ready.

At that time, whether by soft or hard means, or by force, he would have to borrow this teleportation array to teleport to the Inner Sea.

Han Li didn't know where the Miaoyin Sect's market had been relocated, but as long as he found any human cultivator with well-informed news, he should be able to find it.

But what he also didn't know was that the turtle demon that had escaped was already in an underwater cave dwelling thousands of zhang deep somewhere in the sea, telling the leader of the flood dragon clan in the nearby sea area—a ninth-level Departing Fire Flood Dragon whose cultivation had also reached the mid-Transformation stage—about his slaying of the poison flood dragon.
