Chapter 987: Golden Escape and Ice Flame Essence

At this time, Han Li disappeared from the spot amidst a thunderclap, and his body reappeared twenty feet away as electric arcs flashed.

But the moment he appeared, Han Li stared at the place where the light erupted, his expression solemn.

With his Bright-Clear Spirit Eyes, he saw the situation within the light clearly.

The Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords mixed with Geng Essence should have been extremely sharp, but when these sword lights slashed onto the golden screen, they were easily flicked away, giving the feeling as if they hadn't exerted the flying swords' power at all before being flicked away by the screen's borrowed force.

And the electric python formed by the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder struck the light screen, only causing it to shake, and it didn't have any further effect before dissipating.

But after the purple flames fell onto the golden screen...

Cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he saw that after the light faded and disappeared, a giant ice block actually appeared in the distance, pale purple in color, but the golden light screen and the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha were both frozen inside.

The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha was safe and sound within the light screen, but a look of surprise appeared on its face.

Clearly, it hadn't expected that the purple flames could freeze the golden screen.

However, since it hadn't frozen its true body, it was naturally easy for it to break free.

The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha pressed both hands against the golden light screen, and countless golden rays burst out from the screen, actually piercing small holes into the ice.

The entire block of purple ice shattered inch by inch.

Han Li felt a chill in his heart, beckoned with his hand, and all the flying swords circled once before flying back immediately.

A moment later, the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha's body swayed, and it appeared outside the purple ice with ease.

Then, it stared coldly at Han Li with dead eyes and suddenly raised a hand.

Its hand was golden and glittering, and a golden light ball appeared.

But at this moment, Han Li suddenly spoke:

"Now I can finally be certain. Besides earth and wind escape, you really do know the Golden Escape Technique. But as far as I know, even among us human cultivators, those who can master the Golden Escape Technique are few and far between. And for refined corpses, only the legendary Golden-Bodied Moon Corpse in the world possesses such divine abilities. Could it be that you have already begun to advance?"

After saying this, Han Li glanced a few more times at the faint golden scales all over its body.

Hearing Han Li ask this, the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha was a bit surprised, but immediately sneered coldly:

"Hmph! I began to advance ten thousand years ago. If you few mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had joined forces from the beginning, perhaps you might have had a chance. But now, with just you alone, even if you have some divine abilities, it's just wishful thinking."

After saying this, the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha no longer concealed anything, flapping its wings lightly. The fleshy wings actually transformed from silvery-white to faint golden, and a soaring aura erupted without concealment. This powerful spiritual pressure actually made the massive light screen covering the formation shake.

Han Li's pupils constricted. This aura was definitely far more powerful than any late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator he had ever seen. It was far from the level of the Three Great Cultivators of Tiannan. The only ones who could suppress this flying corpse were likely the two ancient demons he had seen in the Fallen Devil Valley.

Han Li felt secretly shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he probed indifferently:

"Even if you began to advance long ago, being trapped in such a place without seeing the sun, you cannot absorb the essence of the Yin Moon. Even if you cultivate for another ten thousand years, you cannot succeed. You have at most mastered the fur of the Golden Escape, and the methods you use are a bit strange. But when encountering magic tools or treasures that don't use metal-attribute materials, these techniques won't have any effect."

Han Li said this, but in his mind, he recalled the scene of the opponent piercing through the bronze shield and flicking away all his flying swords, feeling extremely troublesome. After all, few magic tools or treasures nowadays didn't use metal-attribute materials.

"Hehe, is that so? Then you should properly experience the taste of it. However, I have no interest in chasing back and forth anymore. In the next strike, you will obediently hand over your life."

The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha didn't bother to say anything more to Han Li, just holding the light ball in its hand, making it even more dazzling. Its other arm raised its five fingers wide, shooting out streams of grey light pillars toward the dried corpses on the stone pillars all around.

In the blink of an eye, the light pillars disappeared into the bodies of the dried corpses without a trace.

Han Li couldn't stop it in time, his expression sinking, secretly knowing it was bad.

Sure enough, 'Ding-dang' sounds rang out from the stone pillars, and the chains fell off one after another. The dried corpses also opened their emerald-green eyes one by one, leaving the stone pillars while swaying.

But the corpses only walked a few steps before standing motionless, staring at Han Li in the air without the slightest emotion.

"With so many Corpse Fiend clones to help, you have no chance of winning at all. If you obediently surrender, you can suffer less soul-refining pain!" The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha stood in its original place and said to Han Li with baleful energy.

Han Li scanned the dried corpses all around, fell silent for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.

"To think that I would actually have a use for this treasure on this trip. I don't know if it's your misfortune or my bad luck!" After Han Li muttered these two sentences in a voice so low it was almost inaudible, he didn't hesitate to pat a certain exquisite storage pouch at his waist.

With a 'Puff', a light cluster the size of a fist shot out from the pouch, circled once, and landed in Han Li's hand, revealing a feathered fan with an ancient style.

This fan was only a few inches in size, divided into three colors: gold, silver, and red. But it was covered in dense runes and spiritual patterns, layer upon layer. With a slight shake, the three-colored spirit halos shifted non-stop, and countless rune marks emerged simultaneously, making anyone who stared at it feel dizzy.

One look at this treasure, and it was clear it was no small matter.

At this time, the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha opposite had finished casting its spell and took the lead in launching an attack.

It let out a loud shout and threw the light cluster into the air.

After the golden cluster spun, it released ten thousand streaks of golden light.

These golden rays left the light cluster and immediately flashed with spiritual light, actually transforming into countless golden needles as fine as cow hair. After circling once near the light ball, they shot toward Han Li like raindrops.

For a time, half the sky was golden and glittering, an attack like raindrops that left Han Li with nowhere to hide.

And the dried corpses under the stone pillars also simultaneously raised their hands, and countless Evil Soul Threads sprayed out from their fingertips non-stop, gathering and intertwining at a low altitude.

In the blink of an eye, a giant web several dozen feet wide formed beneath Han Li, grey and misty, wrapping upward without the slightest politeness.

This web was so huge and contained such astonishing baleful energy. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would likely have felt their limbs go soft and their magic power go out of control from the baleful energy before the giant web even reached them, having no choice but to surrender obediently.

It was just that Han Li himself was a body of baleful energy, and he had also practiced the Bright King Art, so he was naturally indifferent to this baleful energy.

But the opponent's momentum was actually so great, an attack like a net from heaven and earth, which made even Han Li secretly shocked.

Immediately, his expression sank, and he rubbed his hands together.

Suddenly, after a flash of light, the Three-Flame Fan transformed into several feet in size.

Han Li gripped the fan handle with one hand, condensed his entire body's magic power, and slashed hard toward the bottom.

As a result, something that gave Han Li a fright appeared. He only felt his entire body's magic power being sucked away by more than half as the fan struck, which scared him so much he almost threw the fan away on the spot.

Fortunately, after the Three-Flame Fan let out a phoenix cry, the magic power in his body stopped immediately. Following that, the fan shook violently, and a burst of three-colored flames surged out from the fan surface. Afterward, all the flames gathered in the middle, actually transforming directly into a fire phoenix a foot in size, with three-colored long feathers, and shot straight toward the giant web.

This strange phenomenon also stunned Han Li, but he couldn't care about this matter immediately. Originally wanting to wave the fan toward the golden needles as well, now that his magic power was insufficient, he could only think of another way, first pointing at the swarm of flying swords before him.

Immediately, all the flying swords erupted with golden light, dancing rapidly, and golden lotuses bloomed all around Han Li, instantly submerging Han Li's figure within.

But he didn't stop, opening his mouth again to spray a mouthful of essence blood onto the Snow Crystal Bead hovering above his head.

As a result, the Snow Crystal Bead shook violently, spraying out a wisp of deep purple flame.

Under the urging of the magic seal, this flame flew around Han Li like a living thing. The temperature all around dropped sharply, and strange 'Zzz' sounds arose.

A giant ice wall over ten feet high appeared around Han Li as the purple flames dissipated, shimmering with purple light, protecting him tightly within.

At this time, amidst the large sheet of golden light, countless golden threads finally shot to the ice wall.

'Ding-dong' sounds arose!

After golden light and purple light intertwined and flashed, golden light spots immediately lit up on the surface of the ice wall, leaving behind dense, fine holes several inches deep. Under the continuous attack of the golden threads, they covered it layer after layer.

Although Han Li's ice wall was a foot thick, it was instantly shaved away by a layer a foot thick.

His expression changed slightly.

Han Li naturally didn't know that the Silver-Winged Winged Yecha opposite, seeing this scene, was also secretly surprised.

It had to be known that although these golden needles were only transformed from metal-attribute spiritual energy, this spiritual energy wasn't something that could be replenished after consumption, but rather something refined bit by bit from an unknown metal-attribute mineral during its time trapped in this place.

These special spiritual energies had been forged by its corpse fire for several thousand years, and their power was absolutely extraordinary. After transforming into needle-shaped magic treasures, they were even more sharp.

To be unable to strike it down in one blow after such a massive attack naturally made it secretly surprised. It had to be known that just a short while ago, it had used the same golden light to shatter a block of purple ice.

The Silver-Winged Winged Yecha naturally didn't know that the purple flames Han Li used his essence blood to urge were no longer ordinary Purple Luo Heavenly Fire, but a wisp of Ice Flame Essence refined from the fire after continuously taking Snow Soul Pills and borrowing the power of the Snow Crystal Bead.

This almost condensed all the extreme cold energy of the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire, naturally far from what ordinary Purple Luo Heavenly Fire could compare to. However, in order to urge this fire, in a situation of insufficient magic power, Han Li had no choice but to use a mouthful of essence blood to forcibly urge it out.

At this time, the three-colored fire phoenix struck by Han Li's treasure fan also plunged into the grey giant web below.

The giant web composed of Evil Soul Threads flashed with grey light, spraying countless grey threads from above, wrapping toward the seemingly small fire phoenix.

Instantly, the dense silk threads covered the sky and earth, almost masking the phoenix's figure within.

The fire phoenix let out a proud cry, its body circling once, then suddenly erupting with a circle of mysterious light halos. Within the halos, gold, silver, and red light shifted non-stop, and deep runes emerged, appearing extremely gorgeous.

And as the countless Evil Soul Threads shot into the light halos, an unbelievable scene appeared!
