A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality - Chapter 1145 - Chapter 1145: Volume 7 Human World Chapter 1141 Ambush

Chapter 1145: Volume 7 Human World Chapter 1141 Ambush

The surroundings were eerily quiet; not a single figure appeared from the darkness, as if the place was truly empty.

The loudly shouting cultivator instantly became furious, let out a cold snort, and with a flick of his hands forming a spell, he was about to cast a spell to force the opponent out.

But just at that moment, a buzzing sound that seemed both present and absent began to emit from all directions, growing louder and louder as if it were rapidly approaching.

Suddenly, the cultivators’ hearts grew cold, and they all widened their eyes and looked around.

After a moment, specks of golden light emerged from the darkness, and each speck of light enveloped a Golden Beetle; more and more appeared, densely packed, eventually surrounding the group at the center.

At this, the masked cultivators were thrown into disarray.

Even the two leading cultivators were secretly shocked.

Especially the cultivator who had attacked one such Gold Devouring Beetle earlier, fully aware of the difficulty of dealing with this type of insect. Now, that so many had appeared at once, handling them surely wouldn’t be easy.

Thus, the face hidden beneath the cloak instantly turned gloomy; Divine Sense continuously swept around, trying to locate the cultivator who was controlling these insects.

However, no matter how hard he searched, the opponent’s traces were invisible, completely undetectable.

This caused his heart to sink!

This indicated that the opponent either had a rare and valuable treasure or secret technique to conceal their tracks, or their divine abilities were far superior to theirs. Either case did not bode well!

“Since you have used insects to trap us, you must give us a reason. Still not willing to show yourself, could Fellow Daoist really be one who conceals his head but exposes his tail?” Another masked cultivator wielding a jade hammer shouted harshly, the treasure in front of him trembling slightly, emitting flashes of green light.

“Hehe, seeing me is easy. I will be there immediately. Daoist Master Swift Crane, Han Li has specifically come for you, how could I not meet you face to face.” Suddenly, a cold laughter came from the darkness, followed by a faint male voice coming from all directions at the same time.

By the tone of it, it seemed as if the person was still in a very distant place.

“Surname Han? Fellow Daoist, when have I ever offended you?” Hearing the man’s voice, this masked cultivator’s figure shuddered, he tore off the cloak from his body, revealing a seemingly young face and wearing a Taoist robe, his face full of confusion and shock.

It was none other than the Daoist Master Swift Crane, who had just assimilated a new body!

Another cultivator who had summoned white silk also tore off his cloak; it was the yellow-robed elder who had accompanied Swift Crane during the day, his expression gloomy as he kept looking towards the distant darkness.

As for the few cultivators behind them, they naturally were disciples of these two Nascent Soul cultivators.

But it was unclear why these people were leaving Azure Spirit Island in such a secretive manner in the dead of night.

Hearing Swift Crane’s question, from all directions came only a bout of mad laughter from the unidentified man, which suddenly stopped with no intention of answering.

This left the group exchanging glances of confusion!

“Daoist Master Swift Crane, is this man your enemy?” the yellow-robed elder asked with a frown towards the Taoist.

After all, listening to the other party’s words, it seemed that he specifically came seeking vengeance on Daoist Master Swift Crane, which made him quite hesitant.

“I’m not sure. An enemy with the surname Han, I have no recollection of such,” replied Swift Crane, flicking his dust whisk with an expressionless face, but his heart was extremely perplexed, unable to recall ever having such a powerful adversary.

“No matter who this person is. Since he dares to actively seek us out, it seems that his intentions are malicious. Fellow Daoist, be extra cautious,” advised the yellow-robed elder, seemingly wary of the still unseen mysterious expert, and after hesitating for a moment, he voiced his concern.

“This humble Daoist is of course aware, but this person is clearly also a Nascent Soul cultivator, and for an enemy of such rank, how could I completely forget about him, surnamed Han…” Daoist Master Swift Crane murmured a few words and fell into deep thought.

And during this brief delay, suddenly, a whooshing sound from breaking through the air came from the night, followed immediately by a dazzling blue streak shooting across from the horizon, flashing several times before arriving amidst the swarm of beetles.

The streak of light faded, revealing a young man dressed in green robes.

This person glanced at Swift Crane and the others, chuckled coldly:

“Indeed, not wasted effort waiting here for so long; you guys really plan to go to Azure Spirit Island. Would you prefer to hand over the spirit stones yourselves, or shall I take them by force?”

The youth was utterly indifferent, treating Daoist Master Swift Crane and the yellow-robed elder, both early Nascent Soul cultivators, as if they were nothing.

However, upon sweeping their spiritual sense across the young man, the faces of Swift Crane and his companion drastically changed, showing a trace of fear.

They could not discern the depth of his cultivation, but the spiritual pressure emanating faintly from him suggested that his cultivation was far superior to theirs, likely a mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. His mentioning of their secret mission terrified them even more.

“Fellow Daoist, I am Huang Kun from Li Long Island! What do you mean by high-grade spirit stones? Could it be that you have been swayed by false rumors and misunderstood us somehow?” The yellow-robed elder was cunning and seeing that the youth seemed invincible, immediately swapped to a smiling, exceedingly polite demeanor.

“Misunderstanding? Hehe, I heard your transmitted conversation with my own ears, how could it be false? Blame yourself for involving Swift Crane, and for letting me find you. Swift Crane, do you remember Han Li?” The youth said mockingly, then his gaze switched coldly to Daoist Master Swift Crane.

He was naturally Han Li, who had used the Divine Sense Transforming into a Thousand technique along with the power of the Golden Beetles to find Swift Crane and his group, and followed them here.

The yellow-robed elder’s smile froze upon hearing the blunt words.

“You… you’re Han Li, you’ve actually formed a Nascent Soul.” As Han Li responded to the yellow-robed elder, Daoist Master Swift Crane, recognizing something familiar about his face, suddenly recalled a past incident after an epiphany and recognized Han Li, his expression filled with disbelief as if seeing a ghost by daylight.

“Brother Swift Crane, you know this person, what’s his background?” The yellow-robed elder, alarmed and infuriated, saw Swift Crane seeming to recognize him and his expression darkened as he asked.

Since the other party left them no leeway and a battle seemed inevitable along with no chance to withdraw, it was best to understand the enemy’s background. Although the opponent was a mid-stage cultivator, the two early-stage cultivators felt they didn’t need to fear him.

At this point, Han Li floated in the air, arms crossed, looking at them with a relentless smirk.

“Fellow Daoist Huang, this is the man who acquired the Heavenvoid Cauldron back then. It’s surprising that after these years, he has managed to form his Nascent Soul.” Daoist Master Swift Crane spoke with a fluctuating expression.

“What? The one who is on the alliance’s extermination order? I knew he looked familiar. Wasn’t he just a Core Formation junior? How could he have advanced to mid Nascent Soul Stage in just these few years?” The yellow-robed elder exclaimed in astonishment.

“This humble Daoist is not sure either. But since the Heavenvoid Cauldron is acclaimed as the number one treasure of Scattered Stars Sea, perhaps there are unimaginable panaceas inside that led to such rapid advancement in his cultivation. It’s quite possible that the cauldron has never been opened before.” Daoist Master Swift Crane speculated with a flash of greed in his eyes.

“If that’s true, then we are in big trouble. His cultivation is already formidable, and with the Heavenvoid Cauldron in hand, we probably can’t beat him even together.” The yellow-robed elder, extremely cautious, watched Han Li while secretly transmitting to Swift Crane.

“I’m well aware of that. But even if we really can’t resist him, if we try to escape, can he truly stop us?” With a twitch of his lips, Daoist Master Swift Crane let out a sinister smile, confident in his strategy.

As for those Core Formation disciples, when it truly comes to a crisis, they naturally won’t hesitate.

“That’s also true.” The yellow-robed elder paused for a moment, then burst into a resigned laughter.

“Hmph, are you done talking? If you are done, I’m about to send you both on your way. Dream on if you think you can escape in broad daylight!” Han Li’s expression shifted as he coldly spoke.

“Not good, we forgot he could overhear our transmission?” The yellow-robed elder’s face changed suddenly.

Daoist Master Swift Crane also paused in shock. But right then, suddenly, the sound of thunder boomed from behind Han Li, and the Thunderstorm Wings appeared, his figure shimming and disappearing with a loud crack of thunder.

“Be careful, his daoist paper talisman is peculiar, capable of performing Thunderstorm Wings!” Having seen Han Li use the Thunderstorm Wings before, Swift Crane quickly warned the yellow-robed elder, green jade hammer flashing brightly, forming a verdant rainbow to shield him, while his other hand spun, summoning a fiery red shield in front, slightly trembling and forming a fiery red light shield to protect his whole body.

Meanwhile, the yellow-robed elder formed hand seals, and nearby white light silks suddenly pierced the air, interweaving and forming a dense web to enshroud himself.

Just as the two completed their spells, ten yards before them, with a flash of silver light, Han Li’s figure emerged.

Seeing their defenses, a sneer appeared on his face. Without using any treasures, he simply raised his arms, and with a ‘Puchi’ sound, a layer of purple flames burst forth from his body, then his figure shook and he transformed into a giant fireball directly lunging at the yellow-robed elder.

Seeing Han Li’s fierce attack, the elder trembled, but without much thought, he shouted lowly, changing the direction of the white silks all shooting towards the fireball, aiming to pierce through Han Li in the purple flames.

On the other side, Daoist Master Swift Crane, seeing this, showed a fierce light in his eyes, and with a flick of his finger, the light from the jade hammer soared and the thunderous verdant rainbow it generated smashed directly towards Han Li.

Han Li, however, seemed oblivious to their attacks, his figure did not dodge but plunged directly into the dense silks, a mocking expression flickering within the purple flames.
