Chapter 1162: Volume 7 Across the Human World Chapter 1158: Golden Beetles, Ghost Pigeon

“What, do you also wish for a share!” Han Li said with a slight smile, calmly speaking.

“In Scattered Stars Sea, I may not recognize every famous cultivator, but I’m familiar with most of their faces and voices. However, I don’t seem to recall someone like you. Wait! That’s not right, you do look somewhat familiar!” the large bald man initially replied coldly, but after taking a closer look, he furrowed his brows, muttering with a hint of surprise and suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a blade-like chill flashed through his eyes.

“Since fellow Daoist has put it that way, I’ll leave the fortress of Man Huzi to you. Let’s go!” The large man’s expression changed slightly after pondering for a moment, then suddenly, he uttered words of retreat.

The three strikingly beautiful women present were left dumbfounded upon hearing this.

The large bald man flashed a golden light around his body and without explanation, swept up the beautiful woman next to him in a streak of light, attempting to flee into the sky.

But at that moment, Han Li, without any prior indication, raised his hand and released a streak of azure light from his blade, fiercely beheading the man from above in a flash.

Naturally, under such circumstances, the elder known as Jin Hua couldn’t escape, and under a mix of shock and anger, he could only yell out loud, then once again deployed his golden shield, turning it into a burst of golden light that protected his entire body.

With a “boom”, a mass of golden light exploded in the low sky, the brilliance forcing the elder and others to shut their eyes, retreating in shock and daring not look directly at it even for a moment.

But as the light faded, the somewhat staggering figure of Jin Hua was revealed, along with a slightly damaged golden shield spiraling in the air, yet the beautiful woman behind him remained unharmed.

He had actually blocked Han Li’s strike.

“What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist? I have already yielded this place to you, why do you still strike at me?” Jin Hua shouted angrily, his face full of rage.

“What do I mean? Now that you recognize me, did you think I would let you leave?” Han Li replied, the corner of his mouth slightly moving as he let out a cold laugh.

Immediately, his intent to kill surged. Unwilling to say more, he slapped his storage pouch with one hand, and a Demon Subduing Staff flew out from it. It disappeared in mid-air with a flicker, but mysteriously appeared above the bald man’s head in the next instant,

Han Li made hand incantations, muttering spell incantations. The Demon Subduing Staff emitted a bright yellow light, growing over ten zhang in the wind and fiercely smashing downwards.

Like a small mountain pressing down, the space nearby twisted and distorted even before it truly landed, even producing a buzzing sound from thin air.

With his greatly improved cultivation, Han Li now wielded the artifact of the Three Elders of Kunwu with far greater power than before.

Below, Jin Hua was filled with both shock and fury!

Only then did he realize his opponent was a ruthless man who would kill based on mere suspicion, with no desire to let him explain. The power displayed by his opponent’s artifact far exceeded his imagination, and the already damaged golden shield above him was absolutely incapable of withstanding this attack.

Left with no choice, the large man didn’t release any other artifacts, instead, he flipped his hand and a golden talisman appeared between his fingers.

With a wave of his hand and a few strange incantations spoken, his body turned swiftly, suddenly emitting a vast expanse of golden light, brilliantly dazzling.

The Demon Subduing Staff struck down, and with a “puff”, the golden light transformed into a sky full of golden petals, fist-sized and densely packed, engulfing the large man and the beautiful woman in them.

In the intertwining of yellow and golden lights, a thunderous boom echoed across the sky, all the lights converged, and a massive crater appeared on the ground.

The large man and the beautiful woman disappeared from their original spot completely.

Seeing this scene, Han Li slightly paused, but soon after, he snorted coldly, his spiritual sense sweeping around.

Suddenly, with a single hand, he slashed behind him towards a certain patch of empty space.

With a “bang”, bursts of golden petals appeared out of thin air, the large bald man holding the delicate body of the beautiful woman as they emerged from the void. His body surrounded by chaotic golden petals, he miraculously blocked this sword Qi.

Han Li’s eyebrows raised, he paid close attention and glanced at these golden petals, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

You should know because of cultivating the Azure Essence Sword Arts, his strength was far superior to ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivators, even casually unleashed Azure Essence Sword Qi held extraordinary power.

Yet, Jin Hua, with only a single Daoist paper talisman, easily blocked it. This was indeed strange.

“Impossible, how could you detect my location? Even a mid-stage cultivator wouldn’t have such Divine Skills.” The large man was even more surprised, his face filled with astonishment.

“Humph! That talisman of yours is somewhat interesting, but to think of escaping from under my eyes with just that is purely wishful thinking,” Han Li said indifferently, gesturing towards the distant Demon Subduing Staff with one hand, causing the artifact to flicker and fly straight towards Jin Hua again.

Seeing this, the fierce light flashed across the large man’s face, his hand waving the golden talisman again, transforming into a spread of golden petals to dodge, appearing in another low-altitude nearby. Suddenly, he threw the beautiful woman aside, his face twisted with ferocity as he shouted loudly,

“Han, I’ve given way step by step, do you really think you can come down on me just with a Heavenvoid Cauldron? Today, Jin someone will truly fight you.”

Then the large man slapped his waist, a stream of black Qi shooting out from a spirit beast pouch, swirling for a moment before revealing a huge strange bird floating above.

This bird was wrapped in black Qi, with bright green eyes and a vivid red fleshy crest, looking extremely ugly and fierce. Upon appearing, it made an extremely unpleasant noise and glared malevolently at Han Li as if it was quite spiritual.

“Ghost Pigeon? I didn’t expect you to actually breed such a ghostly bird?”

As Han Li clicked his tongue in amazement, his expression remained utterly calm. He too reached towards his waist and the sound of an ape’s cry emitted, followed by a black streak shooting out. After a circle, a small monkey with shiny black fur appeared, hovering in mid-air.

It was the Weeping Soul Beast.

This beast staggerly stood up, appearing somewhat dazed, but then its big nose abruptly sucked in, instantly brightening its eyes as it joyously gazed at the Ghost Pigeon in the sky.

Accompanied by flashes of dark light, the beast suddenly swelled, transforming into a huge black ape ten zhang tall, with a broad mouth and fierce fangs, eyes emitting a cold light. After beating its large fists against its chest, it emitted an earth-shattering roar that seemed like a Devil descending.

Jin Xia felt a chill run down her spine!

The previously ferocious Ghost Pigeon, however, quivered its wings in fear under the giant ape’s roar. Its eyes showed extreme fear as it circled uncertainly above the large man, not daring to attack.

At this moment, Han Li casually flicked his sleeve, releasing two small golden swords that transformed into a cross-slash of golden light as they shot forward.

At the same time, the Demon Subduing Staff, with a silent motion under his command, shot towards the large man again.

Jin Xia’s heart sank, but gritting her teeth, she spat out a small golden bell from her mouth and pressed her hand to her storage pouch, releasing two emerald streaks, which after circling, transformed into two green jade hooks.

The emerald light flashed, and one green jade hook swept past the large man’s hand,

silently chopping off two fingers that fell without a single drop of blood from the wound.

The large man, invoking an incantation, instantly turned the two finger pieces into bursts of blood red light heading straight for the Ghost Pigeon above him.

The Ghost Pigeon screeched weirdly, inhaling the blood lights into its mouth.

Immediately, the bird’s body underwent a swirling black aura, doubling in size and transforming into a two zhang tall figure. Its green eyes lost their clarity and instantly turned blood red.

No longer showing any fear of the Weeping Soul Beast, it spread its wings and pounced towards the giant ape, exhaling black mist.

The two green jade hooks were already entwined with the two small golden swords in a flurry of emerald light, while the small golden bell emitted a crisp “clang,” sending a golden sound wave into the sky, momentarily holding back the now gigantically transfigured Demon Subduing Staff.

Jin Xia finally felt relieved, taking a breath. But then, Han Li across from her slightly curved the corner of his lips in a mocking smile.

The Ghost Pigeon flying above the giant ape, from a high position, spat out two bursts of black mist, only for the giant ape to abruptly emit a deep yellow halo that swiftly enveloped the Ghost Pigeon.

With a flash, the Ghost Pigeon was swept inside.

Inside, amidst the violently swirling halo, the Ghost Pigeon barely managed a scream before dissolving into a puff of black gas that the giant ape inhaled deeply into its stomach.

Upon witnessing this scene, the large man was extremely startled and appalled.

While he had anticipated that the Ghost Pigeon might not be a match for the giant ape, he had never imagined it would be swallowed in their first encounter.

This ghostly bird, cultivated through a secret technique he happened upon from a tome of Ghost Cultivator arts, had cost him immense effort and had just been successfully refined.

It was said this bird was born with a pair of ghostly eyes able to suppress spectral and demonic spirits and was proficient in the secret technique of soul luring, capable of harming enemies intangibly.

Any ordinary Sect Master with this bird hovering above and a single breath of its ghostly aura could shake the spirit and drain half of their soul.

Jin Xia couldn’t help feeling extreme heartache!

However, before recovering from her shock, the two green jade hooks suddenly shattered into pieces under a brilliant burst of golden light from the two golden flying swords, vanishing in an instant.

With no adversaries remaining, the two streaks of golden light, upon emitting clear rings, headed straight towards her in a slashing motion.

The large man panicked, reaching towards his waist to possibly pull out another treasure for defense when he suddenly heard a chant coming from above.

In alarm, he hastily looked up.

His face instantly lost all color!

The Demon Subduing Staff, previously radiating a yellow light, suddenly emitted a chanting sound, and its aura changed dramatically, releasing a seven-colored light. The staff became massively heavy, weighing over ten thousand kins.

The previously barely resistible golden sonic wave, unable to hold, rolled about as the Demon Subduing Staff slowly pressed down, now mere meters from his head.

“Not good!” The large man exclaimed, without a second thought he waved the golden talisman in his hand again, transforming into a cloud of golden petals, vanishing from the spot.

But this time, Han Li, his back flickering with silver light revealing the Thunderstorm Wings, vanished almost concurrently with a clap of thunder.
