"Hehe … Don't be stubborn. Instead of dragging me down with you, why don't you let me have a try? At least … your two followers will have a chance to live." Evil Corpse persuaded again.
Han Li's mind wavered. He hesitated, but there was not much time left.
Seeing that his body had reached its limit, he fiercely clenched his teeth and steeled his heart. With a thought, the Qi Isolating Chains that bound the Evil Corpses opened with a "clang" sound.
"Haha, that's right …" Seeing this, Evil Corpse laughed wildly.
However, he had only laughed halfway when his voice suddenly stopped. This was because Han Li had not completely removed his seal and had only removed half of the Origin Isolating Chains.
"Borrowing power doesn't necessarily mean I have to use all of it." Han Li sneered.
"You …" Evil Corpse flew into a rage.
As part of the Yuan Insulating Chains opened, half of the Immortal Apertures in Han Li's body that were about to open opened automatically. His body suddenly surged with replenishing power, and he regained control of his body.
He turned his hands, and the golden lightning condensed in his hands again, emitting waves of terrifying fluctuations.
Yue Qing's heart jolted with shock at the sight of this. He couldn't understand how Han Li had managed to accomplish this, and he could only make a hand seal. His spirit domain instantly shrank back into his body, and an extremely dense aura erupted from his body.
He held the giant sword with one hand, and with the other, he made a hand sign and touched the sword. A thick power of the Law of Earth flowed into the sword, and the seven mountain runes reappeared on the sword.
Yue Qing let out an explosive roar and raised his sword, chopping down at Han Li.
In the void, a vast sword light split the sky and earth. Seven majestic mountains appeared. Each mountain was engraved with a huge rune. The mountains were shrouded in yellow clouds, and they had a majestic aura that could suppress the world.
But at this moment, Han Li's hand sign suddenly changed. He changed from holding the sword to drawing the bow. A golden bow condensed with lightning appeared in his hand. There was a condensed golden arrow on it, and he pointed it at Yue Qing.
"Whoosh!" The sound of something tearing through the air rang out.
In the blink of an eye, the golden arrow had pierced through the first mountain peak.
Then, the second, the third … The golden arrow pierced through all seven mountains as if it was unstoppable, arriving in front of Yue Qing.
After all, the latter was an advanced-stage Golden Immortal Realm cultivator, so even though he was panicking, he didn't panic, and his reaction was swift to the extreme.
He first raised the broadsword horizontally in front of him, then leaned to the side to avoid being hit in the vitals.
"Boom boom boom …"
The arrow's momentum was too fast. When it nailed into the giant sword, the mountain behind it exploded, covering up the sound of the arrow piercing through the giant sword and into Yue Qing's left chest.
Yue Qing was sent flying thousands of meters away by the huge impact, his body smashing into the ground like a meteorite.
BOOM!
Dust and dirt arose from the ground while an area of 500km in the surroundings sunk down by 300m, and an enormous pit that was 3km deep had even been smashed open at the spot Yue Qing fell.
High up in the sky, Han Li's condition wasn't any better. His entire body was charred black while blood flowed from all seven apertures, and the dark color in his eyes had become much darker. Moreover, his body swayed as he fell from high up in the sky.
The 36 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords relied on their last bit of strength to fly over, and they caught him before sending him down to the ground.
The expressions of Wu Hui and Po Feng instantly turned grim when they saw this scene. Obviously, they hadn't expected that Yue Qing who was at the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm would actually be blasted flying by Han Li who was an entire two realms lower than him.
Besides feeling shocked, their will to fight was naturally reduced greatly.
Jintong and Xiao Bai hurriedly seized the opportunity to force Wu Hui and Po Feng back when they saw this, and then they hurriedly flew towards Han Li.
The two of them didn't continue fighting, and they immediately chased after Yue Qing.
"Uncle …" Jintong helped Han Li up, and he frowned as he cried out.
Han Li's entire body was powerless while tempestuous waves surged within his sea of consciousness. He was barely able to withdraw a medicinal pill, yet he was unable to bring it to his mouth no matter what.
Xiao Bai hurriedly took the medicinal pill and fed it to him when she saw this.
"Let's go, let's go quickly and leave this place quickly." Han Li spoke right away after he swallowed the medicinal pill.
Jintong didn't speak any further, and he immediately placed Han Li on his shoulder before intending to leave this place with Chen Xi.
"Where do you think you're going?" Meanwhile, a furious voice resounded from afar.
Han Li looked over with great difficulty towards the source of the voice, and he saw a tall figure flying over slowly amidst the dust and dirt in the distance.
He still held the broadsword in his hand, but there was a fist sized hole on the body of the sword, and it seemed to have suffered a great loss of spirit.
As for the scale armor on his body, it was even more tattered, and an enormous spiral shaped injury could be seen on his exposed chest. Golden blood flowed from the center of the injury, and the surroundings were charred black and had formed into numerous ugly scars that seemed like earthworms.
"A cultivator at the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm really is terrifying." Han Li looked at Yue Qing who approached them step by step, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"A cultivator at the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm is actually able to heavily injure me like this. You're the first and only one.
It's impossible to vent the hatred in my heart if I don't crush you into pieces today. "Yue Qing gritted his teeth tightly as he spoke word by word.
Jintong's face froze when he saw this, and he placed Han Li down before standing up to stand before Yue Qing and Xiao Bai.
"Big Brother …" Xiao Bai looked at Jintong's back as she muttered.
"Is a cultivator at the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm very impressive?"
Right at this moment, a cold and indifferent voice resounded without the slightest sign, and it seemed as if it came from beyond the heavens as it reverberated in the sky above Mount Tihu.
"Who's that?" Yue Qing stopped moving, and he looked up into the sky as he spoke vigilantly.
In the next instant, the originally clear sky instantly darkened, and it seemed as if it had instantly fallen into night.
Han Li was delighted in his heart, and he looked up to see an enormous figure descending from the depths of the sky. The figure shrunk smaller and smaller, and in the end, it transformed into a robust man in a cloak.
The corners of his face were distinct, and he was covered in greyish black stubble. His eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his entire body emitted an aura of age. He was one of the eight great True Spirit Kings, the Roaming Roc, Yue Mian.
"Uncle Yue, why are you here?" Xiao Bai cried out with pleasant surprise.
Jintong sized up Yue Mian from head to toe, and a rare feeling of reverence arose in his heart.
"Hmph! If I didn't come, then you'd definitely be tricked to death by that kid, Han Li." Yue Mian glanced at Han Li and said angrily.
When Jintong heard this, the reverence he felt towards the robust man before him instantly vanished without a trace, and he glared angrily at Yue Mian.
"It's not Master's fault … Friend Han, it was I who insisted on coming that day." Xiao Bai hurriedly explained.
"Let's talk about this later." Yue Mian waved his hand and turned to look at Yue Qing and the other two.
"I didn't expect that the Roaming Roc, who has not been seen for a long time, would reappear in this world. It seems that the little guy's identity is indeed extraordinary …" Yue Qing said slowly as the surprise in his eyes gradually faded away.
"Get out of here before I do anything." Yue Mian's reply was much more direct and direct.
Yue Qing was already seriously injured, and naturally, he would not seek death in the face of a Dao Ancestor Level True Spirit of the Wilderness. He only said, "Senior, don't forget the lesson of the Wilderness." Then, he flew away with Wuhui and Xiao Bai without looking back.
"Thank you, Senior Yue." By now, Han Li had already recovered a little. He stood up and cupped his fists towards Yue Mian.
"Rest for a while. With me protecting you, no one will dare to disturb you." Yue Mian nodded and said with a frown.
As for Han Li, he did not really blame him. Earlier, he had only complained because he was worried about Xiao Bai's safety.
When Han Li heard this, he sat back down and closed his eyes to meditate.
Not to mention that he had used up a lot of energy in the battle just now, he had even untied half of the Evil Corpse's restraints. The time left for him to prepare for the Corpse Decapitation Stage was getting tighter.
Yue Mian looked at Xiao Bai and said, "The appointed time is almost here, so I came early to pick you up. I didn't expect that before I arrived, I sensed that you used the Golden Talisman that Bai Ze gave you. I had to hurry to catch up."
Xiao Bai asked, "Uncle Yue, you came because you were afraid that I wouldn't go back on time, right?"
Hearing this, Yue Mian did not nod or deny it.
Xiao Bai continued, "Don't worry. After coming out this time, I clearly saw the difference between my cultivation and others'. When I go back, I will go into seclusion. If I don't completely inherit the power passed down by my father, I won't come out again."
Hearing this, Yue Mian nodded his head in satisfaction. "Not bad. You have made some progress."
Jin Tong watched from the side, and the corners of his mouth unknowingly curled into a smile.
About an hour later, Han Li finally finished regulating his breathing and slowly woke up.
Yue Mian said goodbye to him and was about to leave with Xiao Bai.
"Senior Yue Mian, please wait a moment." Han Li suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" Yue Mian stopped and looked at Han Li.
"Senior, since you are going back to Ba Huang Mountain, can you bring me along?" Han Li cupped his fists and said.
"Oh, that's strange. Are you going to Ba Huang Mountain too?" Yue Mian asked curiously.
"Yes, I wonder if I can bother you." Han Li cupped his fists and said.
The trip to Jiuyuan Temple had come to an end. What he had experienced there made him even more eager to improve his strength.
After this incident, he was probably wanted in every Celestial Region. He would not be safe no matter where he hid. On the contrary, Ba Huang Mountain, which was completely out of the control of the Heavenly Court, was more suitable for him to cultivate.
"Of course." Yue Mian nodded with a smile and waved his hand.
A green storm appeared out of nowhere, and Han Li's body was immediately lifted into the air. The world around him was spinning, and he could not control his body at all.
He was shocked. Just as he was about to use the Law of Time to stabilize his body, he suddenly stepped on solid ground. At the same time, a strong but flexible force surged toward him.
Han Li staggered and fell to the ground, sitting on a warm spot.
He looked around and his expression changed slightly.
At this moment, Han Li was sitting on the back of a huge azure bird. This azure bird was so huge that it blocked off all of the space below it, making it appear as if it were a vast expanse of azure land with no end in sight.
Yue Mian had turned into the original form of the Sky-Roaming Kunpeng.
Compared to the giant green bird, Han Li was like an insignificant grain of sand.
Xiao Bai was sitting next to him. She had a complicated expression on her face. Apart from shock, she was more excited and a little fascinated.
