Chapter 840: Joining Forces to Resist the Demon

~11 min read 2,066 words

When "Marquis Lord Nanlong" saw the tiger-demon puppets appear before him, he was first stunned, but he lunged forward without stopping. Net

The dozen puppets flashed with white light, moving like the wind. After their figures flickered, they instantly surrounded "Marquis Lord Nanlong," and dozens of claw blades slashed fiercely toward his body.

"Nan Nan Long Hou"'s expression sank, and he let out a low shout. Ignoring the claw marks grabbing at various parts of his body, he swung his arms, his pair of fists meeting the two sharp claws of the two puppets grabbing at him, fast as lightning.

Two low, muffled sounds rang out. The sharp blades and black Qi touched briefly, but the sharp claws couldn't hurt the pair of fists at all. Instead, as the black Qi expanded, they shattered inch by inch from the claws to the arms.

But the two puppets didn't fear life or death, nor would they have their magic power shaken away. Thus, cold light flickered, and the other two sharp claws cooperated with the other puppets to slash down.

"Marquis Lord Nanlong" let out a low, hideous laugh, his shoulders shook slightly, and he vanished from the spot with a "Whoosh," causing the numerous claw blades attacking him to miss. But immediately, two more muffled sounds rang out!

"Marquis Lord Nanlong's" figure appeared outside the encirclement, pulling the arms of the two one-armed tiger-demon puppets out of their chests. Although the puppets had no hearts, suffering such severe damage naturally caused them to lose control and fall straight from the air.

"Marquis Lord Nanlong's" pair of fists were so hard that the tiger-demon puppet bodies Han Li had painstakingly refined couldn't block them in the slightest.

However, "Marquis Lord Nanlong's" strike was just taking advantage of the situation.

His true target was naturally Han Li, whose body had not yet recovered its mobility. Therefore, after destroying two puppets in one strike, he didn't pause at all. Without waiting for the other puppets to surround him, he flickered and arrived in front of Han Li, smashing a punch without hesitation.

Inside the light screen, Han Li's magic power still couldn't be gathered, but looking at the fist wrapped in demonic Qi, there was no panic on his face; instead, a hint of an eerie look appeared.

Seeing this, "Marquis Lord Nanlong" was startled, wondering what Han Li's intention was, when countless sharp, cone-like explosive sounds rang out behind his head, as if something had suddenly erupted in close proximity.

"Marquis Lord Nanlong" was startled. Without time to think, he retracted his fist and suddenly swayed his figure eerily left and right, causing countless afterimages to erupt. His true body vanished without a trace amidst the afterimages.

And in the place where he had originally stood, countless green claw blades covered the area, tearing the afterimages to pieces instantly. Then, green light flashed, and a monster covered in green fur with a skull-like face appeared out of thin air, staring coldly at "Marquis Lord Nanlong" without a word. It was the Heavenly Absolute Demon Corpse that Han Li had quietly summoned while using the puppets as cover.

"Marquis Lord Nanlong" had only paid attention to the tiger-demon puppets and hadn't noticed the Demon Corpse hiding on the side, almost being successfully ambushed.

"A Refined Corpse?" "Marquis Lord Nanlong" exclaimed in surprise after seeing the Demon Corpse clearly.

At this time, the remaining tiger-demon puppets instantly turned back, clustering around Han Li. Han Li suddenly raised both hands, spreading his five fingers.

One hand flashed with golden light, and thick golden arcs jumped and flickered, with the sound of thunder ringing out loudly. In the other palm, purple light flashed, and a small mass of purple flames appeared silently.

After doing all this, Han Li looked at the Demon Soul expressionlessly.

"Marquis Lord Nanlong" snorted. He knew that the opponent's magic power had already recovered. Continuing to press forward would be useless. What made him wary was that the opponent had released so many Evil-Warding Divine Thunders and still hadn't exhausted them, which left him somewhat stunned!

If he remembered correctly, before he was sealed, although this Evil-Warding Divine Thunder caused great damage to their ancient demons, those who possessed such treasures were few and far between. Even those who did could only release the divine thunder once or twice before being powerless. Otherwise, when their ancient demons crossed over to the mortal world, they wouldn't have been invincible in this realm for a time.

But this person before him seemed to have an endless supply of Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, using it without any hesitation. This was somewhat troublesome.

What made him hesitate even more was the purple flames that had suddenly appeared in the opponent's other hand, which also made his heart tighten. Although he didn't know what this flame was, the moment he saw it, he felt it was extremely dangerous. It was clearly not an ordinary thing.

As for those mechanical puppets, he didn't take them to heart.

After all, these things could bring some surprises when caught off guard, but they couldn't play much of a role in a real fight. Even the aura of that strange Refined Corpse was odd, but at most, it added one Nascent Soul early-stage opponent, which was also not worth fearing.

The Demon Soul possessing Marquis Lord Nanlong hadn't taken down his opponent in the first battle, so he pondered slightly.

On the other side, Ancestor Ancestor Linghu and the woman in white saw Han Li and "Marquis Lord Nanlong" temporarily stop fighting and muttered to themselves. They didn't dare to directly command their treasures to attack, only keeping the five-colored beam of light and the ring hovering above "Marquis Lord Nanlong," waiting for an opportunity. The ring, whose treasure name was unknown, hummed softly, growing large and small.

At this moment, a burst of explosive sounds came from the air on one side. Marquis Lord Nanlong turned his head to look in surprise.

He saw a mass of gray-white flames burst in mid-air, and a golden cloud of insects flew out from the flames, unharmed and buzzing. After the flames dissipated, the green phosphorus ghost claw that had been inside had vanished without a trace.

Marquis Lord Nanlong's expression changed slightly, and his mood turned gloomy.

After the golden insect cloud escaped, it shot directly toward Han Li.

"I didn't expect you to have so many divine abilities. It seems it's truly troublesome to take your Nascent Soul with ordinary means. Since that's the case, I'll just have to slay you in one go to eliminate future trouble. This body was only taken temporarily anyway. It doesn't matter if it gets ruined." After remaining silent for a moment, "Marquis Lord Nanlong" said with a ferocious look.

Afterward, he took a deep breath, and pitch-black demonic Qi erupted from his body. At the same time, a series of strange "crackling" sounds came from his joints. Then, his figure grew by several feet, and his neck and shoulders began to deform and bulge, as if something was about to burst out from his body.

Seeing this scene, Han Li was stunned, but immediately reacted by raising both hands. Instantly, golden arcs intertwined in one hand, transforming into a golden python that raised its head and lunged, while the other hand shot out a purple fireball that looked ordinary.

At the same time, Han Li let out a low whistle. The golden insect cloud that had just flown back also drifted out from above his head. The tiger-demon puppets and the Heavenly Absolute Demon Corpse transformed from the corpse remained in place, preventing the opponent from sneaking an attack.

On the other side, Ancestor Ancestor Linghu and the woman in white naturally wouldn't tolerate "Marquis Lord Nanlong" calmly unleashing some powerful technique. Previously, the opponent had sent them running for their lives just by relying on his physical body, and with the addition of unknown, eerie demonic arts, they would be in danger again.

Immediately after the two exchanged a glance, they simultaneously pointed their fingers and cast spells at the treasures in the air. Instantly, the five-colored light pillar shone down first, arriving above "Nan Nan Long Hou" a step earlier than Han Li's attack. Meanwhile, the grey-white ring suddenly expanded wildly, transforming into a giant ring a zhang in size, and sleeved downward.

The Demon Soul was indifferent to all this. As the beam of light was about to touch his body, black Qi submerged his figure. As a result, the five-colored beam of light vanished after a flash upon touching the black Qi, as if it had been swallowed.

At this moment, Han Li's golden arcs, purple fireball, and white giant ring attacked simultaneously. The golden insect cloud was slightly slower but followed closely behind.

This time, the Demon Soul didn't want to take these attacks head-on. With a shake of the black Qi, he instantly shot backward, his escape speed extremely fast.

All attacks followed closely under the manipulation of Han Li and the others.

Instantly, for a moment, one could only see a mass of black Qi several zhang in size fleeing and flickering left and right in the air, while behind it, a giant python transformed from golden arcs, a giant ring, and an insect cloud followed closely. Its speed and dodging route were truly eerie; these attacks couldn't lock onto it for a time.

The woman in white saw this and, unwilling to give up, controlled the treasure mirror in her hand again, with five-colored beams of light falling one after another. It was just that they couldn't keep up with "Marquis Lord Nanlong's" movements and all missed.

This dodging and chasing lasted for a short while. Although Han Li used his spiritual sense to manipulate the golden arcs and Purple Luo Extreme Flames, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was gloomy.

"Kid. If you don't have any other powerful trump cards, I advise you to run for your life. Ancient demons are very different from cultivators in our mortal world. They are all ferocious and combative, and each one has extremely rich practical experience. Although the one that crossed over can't be a too ferocious high-tier ancient demon, once it gets serious, you are definitely no match for it. I haven't finished refining the final Nascent Soul puppet yet and don't want to die with you," Master Elder Dayan suddenly transmitted his voice.

Han Li didn't intend to answer upon hearing this. But after a fierce look flashed across his face, he suddenly shook both sleeves, and a clear ringing sound came out. Dozens of golden small swords swam out from his sleeves.

In the blink of an eye, they transformed into dozens of golden lights a foot long, circling and dancing around Han Li.

Han Li, expressionless, cast several spells in succession.

All the sword lights trembled a few times, instantly splitting into hundreds of identical golden lights, while their brilliance shone brightly.

"Go!"

Han Li formed hand seals with both hands and let out a low shout.

Hundreds of sword lights rang out in unison, then flickered in the surroundings, vanishing from their original spots one by one. In the blink of an eye, Han Li had set up the Great Expansion Sword Array before him.

"Eh! A sword array! So you still had methods you hadn't used. Then it's up to you. I'll take back what I said just now. However, I'd really like to see what kind of sword array can make you so confident," Master Elder Dayan said lazily with a soft sound of surprise.

"What kind of sword array it is, Senior will know in a moment. If the ancient demon's true body had descended, it would be hard to say if this sword array could hurt it. But since it's possessing a human cultivator, once it enters this sword array of mine, even if it doesn't die, it will have to shed a layer of skin," Han Li said indifferently after the sword array was set up.

"Hehe! Kid, don't blow your own horn! From just now until now, the ancient demon has been fighting you with the brute force of a demonized body. You haven't seen the true power of ancient demonic arts yet!" Master Elder Dayan sneered, unconvinced.
