Chapter 759: Great War is Imminent

As soon as the dragon soul sank into the spirit skin, Han Li didn't even think about it, flipped his palm, and a blue-glowing spirit talisman pen appeared in his palm, six or seven inches long, small and exquisite, looking exceptionally delicate.

With his other hand, he beckoned to a green jade box with an open lid, and a cluster of golden liquid flew out from the box lightly.

Han Li dipped the talisman pen into the golden liquid quickly, then his expression tightened, and he began to skillfully point and draw in the void toward the floating spirit skin with the talisman pen.

One after another, difficult-to-understand golden runes surged out from the tip of the pen, and in the blink of an eye, they flew toward the front and sank into the blood-red spirit skin, disappearing without a trace.

Subsequently, runes of various sizes appeared on the surface of the spirit skin, shining with golden light, as neat as if they had been engraved.

And just the moment these runes surged out, the spirit skin trembled violently, and a dragon roar suddenly came from it. Subsequently, the surface of the spirit skin bulged, and the blood-red dragon soul suddenly rushed out from the skin, looking like it wanted to escape.

But at this moment, the golden runes on the spirit skin shone brightly, twisting and appearing as if they had come alive, tightly wrapping the dragon soul inside, and then pulling it back with great force.

Although it had lost its spiritual intelligence, the dragon soul, as the essence soul of a heaven and earth spirit beast, naturally felt the danger instinctively and kept tearing at the golden runes, wanting to break out and escape.

At this time, Han Li's talisman pen pointed faster, and large and small golden runes directly covered the dragon soul. A moment later, it was completely trapped, and then bit by bit, it was pulled back into the spirit skin.

Taking this opportunity, Han Li stopped his hand movements, immediately changed to a type of purple liquid, dipped it with the talisman pen, but drew strange symbols like spirit patterns, throwing them out one by one unhurriedly.

In this way, every once in a while, Han Li would change to a type of cinnabar-like spirit liquid. Various symbols and wrinkles appeared on the spirit skin one by one.

Not long after, this palm-sized spirit skin talisman paper was flashing with dense light of various colors, looking full of spiritual energy.

Han Li's expression, however, became more and more solemn, and the things he wrote became slower and slower. His eyes flickered with blue light, pushing the Clear Spirit Eye divine ability to the extreme.

Just as a red rune was finished and flew into the spirit skin, suddenly an abnormal spiritual energy fluctuation came from the half-finished spirit talisman, and it became more and more violent.

Han Li's expression changed greatly, and he cursed in his heart. But immediately, without thinking, he flicked his large sleeve toward the ground, and a piece of green light rolled out, collecting all the materials instantly. At the same time, his other hand drew in the void in front of him, and a blue small shield flew out from his sleeve, instantly expanding and blocking in front of him.

Just when Han Li had finished doing all this, the red spirit talisman burst open with a deafening dragon roar.

Five-colored light clusters were dazzling, and astonishing spiritual energy rushed in all directions, as if a huge wave had hit the blue shield.

The large shield shook slightly, but it blocked it without moving. Seeing this, Han Li was startled, somewhat beyond his expectation.

Because according to the huge power of the Spirit-Descending Talisman, this kind of explosion situation of talisman-making failure should have considerable destructive power. Now that it was blocked so easily, this was vastly different from what he had anticipated.

Just when Han Li was suspicious in his heart, a streak of blood light shot out from the light cluster, flashed, and arrived at the top of the secret room, wanting to escape from the secret room.

But as soon as the blood light touched the ceiling, a layer of white light curtain suddenly appeared without warning, rebounding the blood light back and revealing its figure.

It was the blood-red small dragon, the Poison Dragon essence soul.

Han Li was startled first, then overjoyed.

Without thinking, he raised one hand and grabbed into the void, and a green large hand suddenly appeared above the dragon soul's head, grabbed it into his hand, and shot it downward.

At this time, Han Li pointed at the shield in front of him with a finger, and after the blue light rippled, the shield shrank rapidly, circled, and shot into his sleeve by itself.

Then Han Li stared at the dragon soul that had just been captured and used the Clear Spirit Eye divine ability again.

"Eh," a look of surprise appeared on Han Li's face, and he let out a surprised sound.

Although it was still the original essence soul, the soul power inside was clearly much weaker than the original. The blood-red small dragon also looked listless.

Looking at the dragon soul, Han Li touched his chin, a look of contemplation appearing on his face.

It seemed that this Spirit-Descending Talisman refining failure didn't cause the dragon soul to collapse immediately; it just lost some soul power. If this was the case, although the Spirit-Descending Talisman was difficult to refine, it could be refined a few more times before the soul power was exhausted, and there was a great chance of refining it successfully.

Naturally, if the repeated refining times were too many, the soul power would naturally decrease greatly, and the power of the Spirit-Descending Talisman would definitely be greatly reduced.

Pondering and understanding the reason, Han Li let out a long breath, and the expression on his face relaxed slightly.

Even if the soul power was lost, it was better than the Poison Dragon essence soul collapsing just like that.

This could be considered a blessing in misfortune!

Han Li gave a bitter laugh and took out the auxiliary materials again, laying them out again. Naturally, he changed to another piece of spirit beast skin.

A new round of refining began.

Just when Han Li was painstakingly refining the Spirit-Descending Talisman in the secret room, the entire Tianyi City was completely mobilized within just two or three days.

All cultivators and large and small sects knew about the life-and-death battle with the Dharma Masters a few days later. After a stir, all the cultivators in the city walked out of their stations, formed teams of Dharma Master armies according to the original arrangements, and opened toward the border station one after another with solemn expressions.

Everyone knew that this great war would either result in the Mulan people being defeated and retreating, or Tiannan falling into the hands of the Dharma Masters, thereby causing countless sects to lose their inheritance. Therefore, morale didn't need to be stimulated; it was extremely high.

And the rumors about the ten gambling matches were flying everywhere.

Because they were afraid that Mulan spies would leak the list of participating cultivators and send Dharma Masters to counter them, the names of Han Li and the others were still kept secret. Except for the old monsters who discussed it in the hall that day, very few people knew the specific list.

As a result, the identities of these ten Core Formation cultivators were naturally discussed and guessed by many cultivators, in order to predict the outcome, after all, it involved the survival of over a thousand cultivators.

Sect cultivators who pinned their hopes on their disciples being among them naturally cared even more.

And the Luoyun Sect disciples also successively left the city following the team. Seeing this situation, Lu Luo had no choice but to follow and go ahead.

However, he ordered the woman surnamed Song to stay at the station and wait for Han Li to come out of seclusion.

Not many days passed, and except for a few remaining cultivators, the people in Tianyi City became fewer and fewer day by day.

Watching the days pass by, Han Li still showed no signs of coming out of seclusion, and the woman surnamed Song couldn't help but become anxious.

And the place where Han Li was in seclusion, although heavy restrictions were set up, still vaguely transmitted dragon roars or bursting sounds. This made the woman feel astonished and also somewhat worried.

When it reached the fifth day, the woman surnamed Song made up her mind. If this Han Martial Uncle of hers still couldn't come out of seclusion, she would have no choice but to bite the bullet and force a knock on the door.

Otherwise, if she delayed for another day, she might not be able to catch up with the great war.

Now, the woman surnamed Song was waiting anxiously in the hall of the station, looking toward the outside of the hall from time to time. The vaguely visible sunset glow made her expression flicker.

Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, the woman frowned tightly and bit her red lips. Suddenly, she stood up.

Just as her graceful body moved two steps, a clear bell sound drifted into the hall. The woman was stunned first, then a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

A moment later, green light flickered at the hall entrance, and Han Li's figure suddenly appeared in the light glow.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle!" The woman surnamed Song moved her lotus steps hurriedly forward, bowed, and saluted.

"What day is it now? It seems all the cultivators in the city have set off." After coming out of the secret room, Han Li's spiritual sense felt that the entire Tianyi City was empty. Seeing this woman, he couldn't help but ask.

After all, in the secret room, he could only estimate the time roughly. Although he felt that it hadn't exceeded the scheduled day, asking was still more reassuring.

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, it is the fifth day," the woman surnamed Song felt completely relieved and replied respectfully.

"The fifth day, there is plenty of time. However, it is better to arrive at the place earlier. Let's go," Han Li said decisively after listening.

"Obey!" the woman surnamed Song replied softly.

Han Li raised a hand, and a white light shot out from his sleeve, floating toward the courtyard outside the hall. After the light converged, a white four-sided car with wings appeared there.

It was the Wind-Riding Car.

"Get on the car; using this car to travel is faster than your escape light," Han Li's figure flickered and he arrived in the car, then turned his head and said to the woman.

The woman surnamed Song looked at this car, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she also got on the car silently.

Seeing this, Han Li tapped the car lightly with his toes. Immediately, the Wind-Riding Car flashed with white light, and a layer of white light curtain covered both people and the car. Subsequently, after a tremor, it turned into a white light and flew into the sky.

The Wind-Riding Car was worthy of being a specialized flying magic tool; not only did it use little spiritual power, but its escape speed was also far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, it escaped from Tianyi City and shot directly toward the border direction.

Seeing this scene, the woman surnamed Song felt even more relieved. And she couldn't help but ponder in her heart, was it because this Han Martial Uncle had this treasure that he was so composed until now? She just didn't know what kind of powerful secret technique this unfathomable Martial Uncle had practiced these few days? And what were the dragon roars and bursting sounds in the secret room about?

Just when this woman was pondering silently and thinking wildly, Han Li suddenly asked a question that was somewhat beyond her expectation.

"Are Fellow Daoist Zi Ling and the other still in the original place without leaving?"

"Zi Ling and the other have temporarily left Tianyi City, preparing to decide on their future plans after this great war ends," the woman surnamed Song was startled first, but immediately replied cleverly.

"Hehe! This girl Zi Ling is also clever. This is indeed a wise move. If I were in her shoes, I would most likely do the same," Han Li didn't take it seriously and replied with a light smile.

Subsequently, with a flash of spiritual power under his feet, the Wind-Riding Car's speed increased by a large margin, and in the woman surnamed Song's shocked expression, it escaped ten feet away in an instant, and not long after, it turned into a small light spot and disappeared at the edge of the sky.
