Chapter 847
Upon hearing this, the Demon Soul, contrary to Han Li's expectations, did not get angry. Instead, its pair of silver-white eyes narrowed suddenly. Its gaze swept across the sword shadows, the purple firebird, and the Blood Demon Sword in front of Han Li several times before gradually turning icy cold.
Han Li stood coldly without saying a word, the Wind and Thunder Wings behind his back slowly emerging, and his magic power began to circulate rapidly within his body.
Just at this moment, a huge explosion came from the distance, and both Han Li and the Demon Soul couldn't help but look over in surprise.
They saw light flashing there, and several light clusters of different colors were breaking out of the black light barrier. The barrier dissipated in the blink of an eye, revealing the original forms of the three demonized treasures—the ring, the small sword, and the magic flag—but their demonic light was dim, appearing to have suffered heavy damage.
Just when the Demon Soul was fully focused on dealing with Han Li, it had momentarily underestimated the three silver-haired elders.
Although these three were only early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, each was experienced in battle and had somehow unleashed some secret technique, joining forces to break the barrier that had trapped their treasures in a short time.
However, they had just seen the Demon Soul's bizarre and elusive movement technique. Shocked, they naturally wouldn't take the initiative to move closer to Han Li's side, instead directing their magic treasures to attack the Demon Soul from afar, hoping to provide some distraction.
The three of them knew very well that Han Li was the main force fighting this demonic creature; if Han Li were to fall, the three of them would definitely not fare any better.
Seeing these three able to lend a hand, Han Li was naturally overjoyed. If they could buy him the opportunity to set up the Great Expansion Sword Array, that would be even better.
Thinking this, Han Li couldn't help but glance at the Demon Soul opposite him.
The Demon Soul glanced at the incoming treasures, then looked at Han Li. As the eyes of the evil ghost head moved slightly, it suddenly gave a sinister smile, and its figure began to move.
After a trail of afterimages, the demon suddenly vanished from its original spot.
Seeing this, Han Li's heart stirred, and he hurriedly scanned with his spiritual eyes. As a result, his expression immediately turned to shock.
"Not good, be careful!" Han Li shouted, and without waiting to say more, he urged his spiritual sense. The giant turtle puppets scattered around raised their necks, and blue light pillars sprayed out one after another, targeting the area around the silver-haired elder.
The silver-haired elder and the other two, Brother Tianjing True Person and the others, were highly experienced. With Han Li's brief reminder and having just seen the Demon Soul's bizarre evasion technique, they immediately understood that the demonic creature had suddenly abandoned Han Li and was charging at them.
Shocked, the three of them could only secretly groan in their hearts.
After Han Li unleashed many methods, especially after bringing out the Blood Demon Sword, the Demon Soul felt it really couldn't take him down in a short time. Now with the three silver-haired elders interfering from the side, it was even more troublesome. Thus, the demon changed its mind, preparing to eliminate the other nuisances first and then deal with the isolated Han Li.
More than a dozen thick light pillars exploded one by one around the three Nascent Soul cultivators, and an icy cold aura permeated the air.
With a flicker of black shadows, the Demon Soul manifested somewhere, only a dozen zhang away from Brother Tianjing True Person and the others.
Even though the silver-haired elder and the others were prepared, they were still shocked by the Demon Soul's speed.
Fortunately, the three seemed to coordinate extremely well. Immediately, Senior Brother Cheng and the other elder raised their hands; one shot out a large number of talismans, while the other flew a fire-red fox from his sleeve. Brother Tianjing True Person cast a spell, and the two evil ghost puppets standing behind him flickered, charging out of the protective barrier along with the fire fox under the cover of the talismans.
As soon as the talismans flew out of the barrier, they transformed into a large fire cloud that roared continuously, while the fire fox leaped, merging into the fire source in the air and vanishing instantly.
This was actually a rare spirit beast proficient in the Fire Evasion Technique.
Seeing the two imposing evil ghost puppets lunging at it, the Demon Soul remained expressionless, rubbing its four palms together.
A harsh, piercing sound erupted from its palms. Then, a "chi-chi" sound of tearing through the air arose, and two dazzling black lights emerged between its palms.
The four palms grabbed with their fingers, splitting the two black light clusters into four parts. Each palm grabbed one, and with a flick of its arms...
Black light burst forth, and four bizarre black light blades appeared in its palms.
These blades were not very long, only about two zhang, and were somewhat curved from tip to base, resembling ox-horn knives. But bizarrely, the entire blade vibrated incessantly, causing even the nearby space to distort and deform. The piercing sound was constant. It was truly incredible!
However, what went unnoticed was that the moment these black strange blades formed, the human face on the back of the Demon Soul twitched in pain, and its complexion turned deathly pale, as if half of its essence blood had been drained. The evil ghost head in front, however, became even more ferocious. With a shake of the four bizarre light blades, it shot toward a pale green evil ghost puppet like a powerful crossbow.
The puppet naturally didn't know what fear was. Without hesitation, it opened its mouth, spraying a large wave of grey Yin Qi that swept forward. At the same time, it raised its hands, green light flashing, and ten cold threads sprayed from its fingertips, vanishing into the Yin Qi instantly.
The other red puppet, after spraying Yin Qi, had red light flashing on its hands, and a crimson light chain shot out from its hand.
At this moment, the fire cloud overhead also rolled toward the Demon Soul.
For a moment, the charging Demon Soul was caught in a pincer attack from three sides.
The Demon Soul, expressionless, lightly waved its four strange blades. Instantly, four crescent-shaped blade lights crossed and shot out, transforming into two huge black crosses amidst the piercing sounds, slashing directly at the two puppets.
But because of this, the Demon Soul's figure paused slightly. Taking this opportunity, a giant flaming claw several feet in size suddenly grabbed down from the cloud, its five sharp, sickle-like nails stabbing directly toward the crown of the evil ghost head.
The green cold threads and the crimson light chain also flashed out of the Yin Qi, shooting toward the Demon Soul's body.
The Demon Soul's four arms moved, the light blades blurring instantly, raising layers of light waves, which then transformed into a huge light ball rolling with black light. As soon as the green threads and light bands touched the ball, they let out a mournful cry and were sucked inside. In an instant, green and red light burst forth, and the cold threads and light chain were shredded to pieces.
As this happened, the flaming giant claw that had been grabbing toward the light ball stopped in fear, then tried to retract like lightning.
But it was clearly too late; a crescent-shaped black light flashed by, and the giant claw fell, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
A mournful cry came from the fire cloud in the air.
A violent expression flashed across the Demon Soul's face, and its purple tongue licked a few drops of fox blood from its cheek. After a low shout, its figure vanished from its original spot, appearing in the center of the fire cloud the next moment.
The fire cloud churned violently, and several severed limbs of the fire fox fell from the air, dripping with blood.
The scene of the Demon Soul slaughtering the fire fox in an instant left the three people in the barrier speechless. The unfamiliar Nascent Soul elder, as the owner of the fire fox, was even more heartbroken.
The Demon Soul gave a bizarre smile, and its figure vanished again.
Black light flashed suddenly within the grey Yin Qi, followed by two loud, rumbling explosions.
Brother Tianjing True Person, who was personally controlling the puppets, turned deathly pale. Without thinking, he flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind suddenly rose within the Yin Qi, blowing the mist away completely. Aside from the remains of the two puppets that had been cut into several pieces, there was no trace of the Demon Soul.
At this, even Brother Tianjing True Person couldn't care about the heartbreak of his puppets being destroyed. The three of them hurriedly looked around in fear, taking out other treasures from their storage pouches.
A spatial disturbance occurred nearby, and a black giant peak several dozen zhang high suddenly emerged, then smashed down fiercely. It was Han Li, seeing the critical situation, who had directly teleported the Thousand-Heavy Peak ancient treasure in his hand near the barrier to lend the three a hand.
As a result, before the peak could descend, black light flashed in the previously empty spot, and the Demon Soul appeared there with a cold expression.
It raised its four arms into the air, and the four light blades instantly condensed into a black giant blade about a zhang long. A thunderous, rumbling sound actually came from the blade.
The Demon Soul held the blade with both hands and, without hesitation, slashed at the base of the black mountain peak.
A pitch-black, narrow blade light shot out from the blade silently.
Dazzling light erupted from the base of the mountain, and the entire mountain shook violently. From the middle, a mirror-smooth crack appeared inch by inch. The black mountain peak was actually sliced into two halves by this single strike.
Then, the two pieces of the mountain shifted slightly and plummeted toward the ground.
The Demon Soul didn't delay at all, raising the giant black blade with both hands again. It glanced at the several layers of protective barriers of the three cultivators, a sinister expression appearing on its face. It swung its hands instantly, and a similarly pitch-black, eerie blade light slashed toward the opposite barrier.
The silver-haired elder, Brother Tianjing True Person, and the others turned deathly pale.
Although they didn't believe the layers of light barriers could truly withstand such a powerful attack, the three exchanged a look of shock and, almost simultaneously, spiritual light flashed on their bodies, transforming into three streaks of light that flew out of the barrier and fled in three different directions.
Among them, the silver-haired elder flew toward Han Li's side, while Brother Tianjing True Person and the other elder fled toward Wei Wei Wuya's side.
Han Li, who had also been startled by the Demon Soul's strike in the distance, secretly groaned at their actions.
With the Demon Soul's terrifying speed, the three of them splitting up would surely lead to their doom.
But he was busy utilizing this opportunity to set up the final steps of the Great Expansion Sword Array and couldn't personally fly over to save them.
He had no choice but to cast a series of spells toward the surroundings while controlling the giant turtle puppets with his spiritual sense to spray ice cones simultaneously. Han Li didn't expect this attack to hurt the opponent; he only needed to slightly hinder the Demon Soul's movements to allow the silver-haired elder and the others to escape with their lives.
