Chapter 845: Fighting the Demon Soul Again
How could this be? Even with his spirit eyes, he couldn't see the Demon Soul's tracks, which made Han Li's heart sink. Net
But he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the unease in his heart, and then green light flashed wildly on his body, mobilizing all his spiritual power to pour into his eyes.
Instantly, his pupils flashed with crystal-clear blue light, raising his Mingqing Spirit Eye divine ability to the extreme.
This time, after scanning once, Han Li finally detected something. After his expression changed, the dozen giant turtles behind him flashed with spiritual light, and thousands of ice cones of the same size shot out, covering a small area on one side.
Black Qi appeared under the cover of the ice cones, and the two-headed, four-armed Demon Soul appeared with a look of surprise. It had three arms holding a magic flag, a ring, a small sword, and other treasures. At this moment, seeing the sky full of ice cones shooting down, the three arms holding the treasures swung lightly at the same time.
Black rosy light sprayed out from the small mirror, sweeping out. After the small sword swung a few times, black, sharp sword Qi swept out. As for the ring it had just obtained, it didn't know how it knew the usage, but after a light shake, countless large and small ring shadows shot out, looking extremely imposing.
The sky full of ice cones hadn't fallen yet before they were shattered in mid-air by the power of these magic treasures. White, misty cold air instantly spread over ten zhang nearby, and the temperature dropped sharply.
But the Demon Soul inside didn't care about this at all. After a shake, its figure vanished into the demonic light again.
Han Li's face looked a bit ugly, and he licked his upper lip with his tongue.
This ancient demon soul could be considered the most troublesome opponent he had faced since stepping into the cultivation world. Even with a little carelessness, there was a possibility of falling here.
And at this moment, although he had raised his Mingqing Spirit Eye to the extreme, the Demon Soul hiding in the demonic light had become extremely blurry. Even as it flashed and flew rapidly, he couldn't lock onto the opponent's specific position. He could only see a faint shadow flashing back and forth. Only when the Demon Soul's figure slowed down or stopped could he barely keep up with it.
In this way, Han Li was immediately at a disadvantage. Moreover, fully unleashing the Mingqing Spirit Eye placed too much burden on his eyes, and he couldn't maintain this divine ability continuously. And once the spirit eye divine ability weakened slightly, he couldn't even see the opponent's shadow.
Naturally, Han Li felt depressed. The only countermeasure was to break the opponent's concealment or force the opponent to abandon this method in a short time, making the opponent think that hiding in this demonic light was useless against him.
Otherwise, fighting against such an elusive opponent would truly make Han Li feel "furry" (anxious/scared) in his heart.
Thinking this, Han Li didn't stop his movements. He tapped his spirit beast bag, and a large expanse of Devouring Gold Beetles swarmed out from the bag.
Han Li didn't command the insect cloud to attack anything, but let out a low whistle, causing the insect cloud to "Boom" and transform into golden flowers, drifting away in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, within twenty-odd zhang centered on Han Li, golden light flashed everywhere, with Devouring Gold Beetles scattered throughout.
In this way, even if Han Li couldn't use his spirit eyes to capture the Demon Soul's tracks, as soon as this monster entered the range of the insect swarm, it could be detected immediately, without fear of being suddenly ambushed.
Just as the insect swarm had been set up, a cold snort came from not far away.
Then, black light flashed where the sound came from, and the Demon Soul appeared there. Its front head stared at the golden light spots of the insect swarm around Han Li, its face looking somewhat ugly.
But immediately, the demon's eyebrows stood up, and its head shook, unexpectedly swapping positions with the one behind, and the hideous demon ghost head faced Han Li, emitting an eerie, sinister smile that made one's heart chill.
Han Li's heart tightened, and his vigilance rose instantly. He saw that the demon ghost head had already opened its mouth wide, and a large expanse of black ripples sprayed out silently.
Wherever these ripples passed, the Devouring Gold Beetles nearby were involuntarily swept into them, and then one after another, they fell from the sky, swaying unsteadily.
Instantly, the insect swarm Han Li had set up around him had a large chunk missing in the direction of the Demon Soul, becoming empty.
The ghost head grinned at Han Li hideously, then its figure flickered, and it prepared to lunge forward.
Han Li's expression sank. He raised one hand sharply. With a flick of his middle finger, a golden mass the size of a walnut shot out silently.
Its speed was actually extremely fast, arriving in front of the ghost face in the blink of an eye.
This was also a method of manipulating thunder and lightning that Han Li had realized in the illusion of taking the Creation Pill, compressing the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder into a ball and then flicking it out unexpectedly. Its speed was fast enough to be much faster than ordinary electric arcs, and its power could also be increased slightly.
Caught off guard, the Demon Soul was indeed startled. The speed of this thunder ball was truly too fast. Whether it dodged or unleashed other divine abilities, it was somewhat too late. Helpless, it could only open its mouth sharply, and a purple shadow like a venomous snake shot out, colliding directly with the golden thunder ball.
With a muffled "Boom," golden light flashed, the thunder ball burst open, and the purple shadow was bounced back with a "Whoosh." A burnt smell permeated the nearby space rapidly, and the ghost head let out a painful muffled groan, its gaze toward Han Li becoming extremely venomous.
The purple shadow that had just been flickered out was actually its unusually long strange tongue. Although he didn't know why this tongue didn't fear the restraint of the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, the power of the lightning alone had caused not-so-small damage to the tip of the tongue, causing it to suffer a not-so-small bitterness.
Seeing his sudden sneak attack fail, Han Li's face didn't reveal any surprise. But immediately, he sneered, and a clear ringing sound came from his mouth.
Amidst the long ringing, those golden flying insects that had originally been falling suddenly flapped their wings and, as if coming back to life, took to the air again, flying back to their original positions.
Seeing this, the Demon Soul's hideous face flashed with surprise, and its gaze toward the Devouring Gold Beetles became much more solemn.
At this time, the silver-haired old man and the others on the other side saw Han Li and the demon engage and also unleashed their attack treasures, a white flying sword, a blue jade ruler, and a set of three white shuttle-shaped magic treasures, all transforming into light groups of different colors and shooting toward the Demon Soul.
The Demon Soul only glanced coldly at these few items, and its four arms swung simultaneously. The demonic treasures in its hands were thrown out together. Instantly, they transformed into a large expanse of pitch-black demonic light, sweeping out, blocking these few treasures in the distance. And the one manipulating these demonized treasures was its back head.
Afterward, this head didn't know what magic art it performed, but the demonized treasure light surged several times, instantly forming a giant light curtain that swept all the silver-haired old man's treasures within it, trapping them inside. Then, it just kept pouring magic power into the light curtain, without unleashing any other methods.
It seemed the Demon Soul also had the intention of dealing with Han Li, the most troublesome opponent, first, and then slowly dealing with the others.
Seeing this, Han Li frowned. Just at this moment, the head behind the Demon Soul suddenly spoke:
"These flying insects actually don't fear my Shaking Wave Demonic Art! As far as I know, only a few types of spirit insects in this realm have this ability. But looking at the appearance of these golden beetles, they are most likely the famous Devouring Gold Beetles. These Devouring Gold Beetles were actually stunned by the shock wave. It can be seen that they are not the mature ones in the rumors. Otherwise, with so many Devouring Gold Beetles, and without suitable magic weapons in hand, even this Venerable One would only have the option of avoiding them. It's just a pity that I'm not using my original body now; otherwise, I'd really like to let you see the power of the Saint Realm's Demon Butterflies. Like these immature spirit insects of the mortal world, they are the best supplements for Demon Butterflies."
After the Demon Soul finished saying this in a cold voice, the head behind glanced at the demon-headed ancient demon that was pressing Wei Wei Wuyuan back step by step, a strange expression appearing on its face.
Han Li's mouth curled slightly, his face wooden and indifferent as if he hadn't heard, but he suddenly shook his sleeves, and dozens of golden small swords shot out from his sleeves, circling and dancing around him.
After a series of magic arts were fired off one after another, these flying swords flashed with golden light, transforming into streaks of golden light, preparing to set up the Great Expansion Sword Array.
The eyes of the Demon Soul's ghost head flashed with fierce light at this moment.
"Since you are courting death, I don't have time to tangle with you anymore. Devouring one more Nascent Soul will give me one more point of certainty when fighting that guy later. This body won't be used for long anyway, so let you taste the true power of our Saint Realm's demonic arts, and you can go to your death obediently."
This Demon Soul didn't know if it had sensed the threat of Han Li's flying swords or if it was truly impatient to tangle anymore. It laughed wildly, its figure blurred, and it actually appeared in the insect swarm empty-handed.
Han Li's heart sank. He couldn't care about setting up the sword array and urged the insect swarm with his spiritual sense.
Although the Devouring Gold Beetles were somewhat fearful of the transformed Demon Soul, under Han Li's forced urging, they were instantly filled with ferocity, swarming toward the Demon Soul.
The tiger-demon puppets that had been clustering around Han Li also flashed with white light, skillfully lunging toward the Demon Soul together. The Heavenly Absolute Demon Corpse stepped forward, blocking in front of Han Li.
As for the giant turtle puppets behind, they didn't use the ice cones on their backs, but instead raised their necks and opened their mouths simultaneously, and a dozen blue light columns as thick as small trees shot out directly.
Instantly, the Demon Soul fell into numerous attacks.
Han Li didn't expect these things to truly block this Demon Soul. But as long as they could buy him time to set up the sword array, that would be enough.
According to his thoughts, with so many attacks, even if they couldn't hurt the opponent, they should be able to slow down the opponent's movements, enough for him to complete the sword array.
But Han Li still underestimated the true power of the Demon Soul that had transformed into two heads and four arms.
The Demon Soul let out a metallic sound from its ghost head, its arms swung, and they blurred. The ten fingers of the four palms all twisted and deformed rapidly, forming one strange magic seal after another.
Suddenly, a circle of dazzling black light shot out from the Demon Soul's body, the light dazzling and blinding, making it impossible to look directly at.
Then, layers of violent air waves erupted from the Demon Soul's body. These layers of violent air waves pushed the Devouring Gold Beetles and tiger-demon puppets, causing them to sway unsteadily.
The dozen blue light columns vanished into nothingness after a flash.
And at this moment, the Demon Soul's two heads opened their mouths simultaneously, and a long whistle, several times higher than a shrill bird cry, rang out with abundant air movement. It shook the entire sky, rumbling incessantly.
Then, the air waves dissipated instantly, and the black light dimmed.
A layer of pitch-black, oily, and shiny ancient strange hard shell covered with long, inverted thorns appeared on the Demon Soul's body, like Asura battle armor, emitting an aura that shot straight into the sky.
At this moment, the Demon Soul's ghost head lowered slightly, looking at Han Li with a ferocious look on its face.
And Han Li watched, dumbfounded, his heart filled with horror!
