Chapter 557: Wind-Splitting Beast Reappears

Han Li flew while channeling his magic power to suppress the abnormality in his body, his body trembling slightly. The flare-up of the Wind Spirit Energy had already reached a point where it was difficult to control.

This made Han Li feel a lingering fear!

Only now did he know that the Wind-Splitting Beast Feng Xi either had its power greatly damaged from refining the magic treasure, or because it had to suppress the backlash of the green liquid, which caused the power of the Wind Spirit Energy it manipulated in his body to be greatly reduced. Otherwise, whether he could have shaken off this demon that day was truly a matter of two possibilities.

However, looking at the vaguely visible small island in the distance, Han Li felt relieved again.

The original two-day journey had been covered in just over half a day under his full-speed flight. As long as the teleportation array was completed in time, he could return to the Inner Sea safely. Even if he still had to worry about some Nascent Soul old monsters there, it was still better than being hunted down by that perverted-speed Wind-Splitting Beast here.

Just as Han Li was pondering, a sound transmission came from Miaohua True Person behind him.

"Daoist Han, I have no malice. I just want to exchange for a Heaven-Patching Pill at a high price. Why must you reject people from thousands of miles away!" Miaohua True Person's voice drifted over, peaceful and calm, without a trace of anger, and even vaguely contained a sincere and kind flavor. It made people feel their hostility greatly reduced upon hearing it, and they couldn't help but feel good!

Han Li, hearing this, not only felt no good will but instead cursed a few times in his heart.

Because he used the blood-colored cloak, his speed dropped significantly. At this moment, Han Li looked back and could see the streak of light Miaohua had transformed into, trailing far behind.

He didn't know what kind of evil cultivation method this old Daoist practiced, but after catching up to him, he used this kind of charming and bewitching sound filled with temptation to constantly harass him.

Han Li was caught off guard at first and almost fell for it.

Fortunately, the Great Development Technique in his body protected its master, clearing his mind in time and avoiding the trap.

However, Han Li still broke out in a cold sweat.

It seemed that even if it was the same bewitching cultivation method, the power when performed by a Nascent Soul cultivator was far from what the likes of Madam Fan or Yuan Yao could compare to.

As for the old Daoist's words about just exchanging for a Heaven-Patching Pill and having no malice, Han Li would only believe them if his brain were broken.

Seeing the small island close at hand, Han Li didn't dare to be negligent. Red light flashed on the blood-colored cloak, and he was about to fly to the island.

But just then, light flickered in the sky opposite. Then a piercing, shrill whistling sound came, and a blurred black dot suddenly appeared there, instantly enlarging, and flying toward this side at a terrifying speed.

Upon seeing this, Han Li was shocked in his heart.

Even without seeing the opponent's face clearly, but with such terrifying speed and this tyrannical whistling sound, who else could it be but that ninth-level Wind-Splitting Beast?

Han Li felt bitter in his mouth, and without thinking, silver light flashed behind his back, and the wings "Whoosh"ed into existence.

Since this demon had already appeared, he only had a chance of survival if he reached the small island first.

Otherwise, even if he turned around and fled now, with the Wind-Splitting Beast's terrifying speed, he feared he wouldn't be able to shake off the opponent even if he exhausted all his Evil-Warding Divine Thunder.

Thinking of this, Han Li disappeared amidst the thunderous sounds.

His whole person had transformed into a silver electric arc, popping out and hiding in the air, moving toward the small island.

Miaohua behind also heard the whistling sound, and his face changed drastically.

Although the old Daoist didn't know who was coming, he vaguely felt that the opponent was a powerful character.

And seeing the black dot rushing toward Han Li without hesitation, he naturally thought that this one was also here for the Void Heaven Cauldron, and his heart became extremely anxious.

In his anxiety, Miaohua spat out a ball of essence blood without caring about his true essence.

This blood ball left his mouth and transformed into a large sheet of blood mist in the wind, covering the old Daoist inside.

The white crane pattern on the Daoist robe shone brightly, absorbing the nearby blood mist without a trace, and the white crane pattern instantly turned crimson.

Miaohua didn't hesitate to turn his body, and the Daoist robe emitted a series of crane cries. Amidst the dazzling white light, a blood-red crane several zhang in size flew out from the old Daoist's body.

This crane was extremely majestic, blood-red all over, with two green eyes.

Seeing this, Miaohua's face turned gloomy, and with a sway of his body, he rode onto the white crane.

Afterward, he slapped the crane's head fiercely, and the white crane's eyes flashed with green light. With a spread of its wings, it had already carried the old Daoist dozens of zhang away.

Although its speed was not as fast as Han Li's teleportation-like lightning evasion, it was still much faster than before.

Thus, a strange scene appeared above the nearby sea area.

Han Li was moving ghost-like in front using the Wind-Thunder Wings, the black shadow opposite was whistling constantly and flying over, and Miaohua was trailing behind, riding the white crane like a gale.

But in just a few blinks of an eye, Han Li arrived above the small island.

At this time, the black shadow opposite was only a thousand zhang away from him.

Han Li saw the opponent clearly at a glance, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

What appeared in the distance was a strange demon beast with the upper body of a bird and the lower body of a fish, possessing wings a zhang wide and two pairs of extremely sharp claws, while its abdomen was covered in scales about an inch large, like fish scales, flashing with green light.

This Feng Xi had actually revealed its true Wind-Splitting Beast form to hunt him down.

Although high-level demon cultivators using their true demon forms to fight and struggle with humans might be somewhat inconvenient, they could bring the innate characteristics of demon beasts into full play. With the Wind-Splitting Beast's innate speed, revealing its true form was naturally terrifyingly fast.

After Han Li took a deep breath, he didn't dare to delay at all. Silver light flashed, and he arrived at the mound on the small island, then disappeared after a flash of light.

The demon beast saw this scene, and the whistling sound in its mouth stopped abruptly. After flapping its wings fiercely a few times, it covered the distance of a thousand zhang in an instant, also arriving above the small island.

Then, after a flash of green light, this demon beast transformed into human form.

It was a coincidence that Miaohua, who had been following Han Li, also arrived at this moment.

Seeing the scene of Feng Xi transforming into human form, he was first startled, and then after seeing Feng Xi's appearance, which was almost identical to a human's, the hair all over his body stood on end.

"Ninth-level demon beast? And it's a bird-type demon beast that excels in speed." Almost at a glance, Miaohua reached a judgment that made his chest feel cold.

Usually, when humans and high-level demon beasts meet, although it cannot be said that they must fight to the death, if there is a huge disparity in strength, a bloody battle is naturally inevitable.

After all, whether it is the demon core of a high-level demon beast or the golden core and Nascent Soul of a human, they are things that the other side craves.

And the opponent was a ninth-level demon beast, even stronger than a mid-stage Nascent Soul human cultivator. Now that he had encountered it, how could he not groan inwardly?

If it were normal times, Miaohua would naturally turn around and run without a second word. But with the Void Heaven Cauldron right before his eyes, he couldn't bear to give it up.

So, after Miaohua's face turned blue, he waved his hands, and a blue ancient mirror appeared in one hand, while the jade-green small hammer appeared in the other.

With two ancient treasures in hand, the old Daoist's courage grew, and he stared at the opponent with a cold face, remaining silent.

That Feng Xi also saw Miaohua True Person, but at this moment, all its thoughts were on Han Li. It had no time to care about the old Daoist's hostile actions.

It had seen the wings behind Han Li's back from afar, and seeing that he could actually drive this magic treasure, it was extremely shocked, and its heart was filled with pain and regret.

In this way, even if it could slay Han Li, the Wind-Thunder Wings, which had been recognized and refined by the master, could at most exert seventy percent of the magic treasure's power. How could it not hate Han Li to the bone?

Therefore, facing Miaohua, it just let out a cold shout of "Scram," and transformed into a streak of green light, plunging down. It instantly disappeared into the mound.

This left Miaohua True Person somewhat stunned.

But after gritting his teeth, he also rode the white crane and flew down. The Void Heaven Cauldron, the number one secret treasure of the Chaotic Star Sea, was something he had to fight for even if it cost him his old life.

Han Li had already taken a step ahead and shattered the stone door, flying directly into the passage.

After a few lightning evasions, he appeared in the square where the teleportation array was built. There, a few male and female Miaoyin Sect cultivators were laughing and talking about something.

Seeing Han Li appear suddenly, they were all stunned and speechless.

"Is the teleportation array completed?" Han Li's silver light flashed, and he appeared beside the teleportation array, then roared loudly at the male and female cultivators.

"Ah, it's Senior Li! The teleportation array is already completed. However, it hasn't been tested yet, we were just..." One of the charming female cultivators recognized this new backer of their Sect Master and replied respectfully, wanting to explain in detail to Han Li.

But Han Li, hearing that the array was completed, didn't care about other things at all. He swayed his body and rushed into the teleportation array.

Almost at the same time, the roof of the hall suddenly burst open, and the demon cultivator Feng Xi descended from the sky in a ball of green light.

Han Li's face turned pale when he saw this!
