Chapter 999

With a cold laugh, the Barbaric Dragon Sword in his hand turned into a black wind that spun and danced, blocking all the attacks from the puppets.

At the same time, sword Qi shot out, entangling the five puppets and Sha Xin, not letting them leave.

The other Roaring Dragon Guards formed a joint attack formation, blocking the people from the Accumulated Scale Realm, not letting them enter the gate.

Seeing this, Han Li's mind spun, and in the next moment, he had already flown out, turning into a black shadow and pouncing towards the entrance of the hall.

The three Roaring Dragon Guards in front immediately discovered Han Li and attacked at the same time. A golden sword light, a snow-white blade light, and a green spear shadow attacked Han Li at the same time.

Han Li did not stop at all. Instead, he fiercely stomped on the ground, causing his speed to increase by 30%. He rushed into the attack range of the three people in front of him first.

But at the same time, he waved his arm, and a green shadow shot out from his sleeve. It was as agile as a snake, and actually coiled around the weapons of the three people. It was a long green whip.

He had obtained this item from a dead Roaring Dragon Guard on his way here.

Entangled by the long green whip, the weapons of the three people immediately became sluggish.

Han Li stomped on the ground again, his skin faintly turning blood-red. His body swayed left and right, once again turning into several blurry shadows. His speed was slightly faster than before, and he flashed past the three people, continuing to pounce towards the Thousand Weapons Hall.

He had long since decided not to waste time fighting with anyone. He did not hesitate to forcefully activate all the potential of this body to fight to enter the Thousand Weapons Hall.

But at this moment, there was a blur in front of him, and a purple-black figure appeared out of thin air.

This person was extremely tall, at least two heads taller than ordinary Roaring Dragon Guards. The chest area of the purple-black armor he wore had an additional golden dragon head pattern, and he seemed to be the leader.

He drew a circle in the air with one of his thick arms, and a seemingly solid black light emitted from his hand, enveloping the figures that Han Li had transformed into.

The figures were enveloped by the black light, and immediately became much slower, as if they had been frozen.

"Hmph!

A mere little movement technique and you want to show off! "The Roaring Dragon Guards' leader laughed coldly. His right claw turned into a fist and punched down fiercely.

A violent black fist wind erupted from his fist, and the few figures were like bubbles. As soon as they collided with the black fist wind, they immediately dissipated.

However, Han Li's figure did not appear. It was as if he had disappeared.

"This …" The leader of the Roaring Dragon Guards was instantly stunned.

"Up there!" Er Ge's voice was heard. The leader of the Roaring Dragon Guards hurriedly lifted his head.

A blurry figure appeared several zhang above the head of the Roaring Dragon Guards. It was Han Li.

At this moment, the color of blood on the surface of his body was even darker, as if blood was about to drip out. However, his speed was even faster. With a "whoosh", he flew past the head of the Black Dragon Guards.

The leader of the Roaring Dragon Guards wanted to stop them, but it was already too late.

"Since when did Wu Xuan have such strength!" Sha Xin also noticed this. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she immediately waved her hand.

"You're all trash!" Up in midair, Edgar was furious when he saw this scene, and he waved his arm.

Nearly a hundred mysterious acupoints on his arm suddenly lit up, faintly revealing traces of blood light.

In the next moment, the Barbaric Dragon Sword in his hand turned into a black shadow and shot out. It instantly appeared five zhang behind him and stabbed towards the middle of Han Li's back.

Han Li's expression changed slightly, and he moved to the side to dodge. However, the speed of the Barbaric Dragon Sword was too fast, and he could not completely dodge it. His left arm was about to be hit.

His eyes flashed, but he did not do anything. He let the Barbaric Dragon Sword slash down, and his body shot forward.

However, at this moment, a golden figure shot out from the side and instantly blocked behind Han Li. It was a golden eagle puppet, and its two golden claws grabbed towards the Barbaric Dragon Sword.

The Barbaric Dragon Sword easily destroyed the two golden claws, and with a "puchi" sound, it stabbed into the chest of the eagle puppet, piercing through it. However, the Barbaric Dragon Sword's power was also exhausted, and it stopped there.

Han Li looked surprised, but his body did not stop. There were no more obstacles in front of him, and his figure flashed and pounced into the gate of the Thousand Weapons Hall.

Eco's expression was furious, and he suddenly looked at Sha Xin.

Sha Xin's mouth curled into a smile, and he looked at Eco proudly.

"Send a few people into the hall to kill that scoundrel. We must not let him obstruct the Holy Emperor!" Eco did not care about Sha Xin, and he roared angrily.

Eco's authority seemed to be quite high. The four Roaring Dragon Guards immediately left the battle formation and chased into the hall. The Roaring Dragon Guard leader's expression was livid, and he also pounced into the hall.

Sha Xin's eyes turned, and he moved his fingers. The eagle puppet that was pierced by the Barbaric Dragon Sword opened its eyes.

Two golden rays shot out from its eyes, and they flashed into the stone wall beside the hall gate.

With a "bang", the two doors of the hall that were originally open were closed.

The Roaring Dragon Guard leader and the others could not stop their momentum, and they crashed into the door. The tall hall gate only flashed with a white light, and it did not budge.

"You …" Eco's eyes were cold, and he looked at Sha Xin with murderous intent.

"The door of the Thousand Weapons Hall is already closed. There is a restriction on the door that Master personally set up. Don't even think about opening it. Eco, you have miscalculated!" Sha Xin suppressed the surprise in his heart, and he sneered.

…

Han Li looked at the hall gate that suddenly closed behind him, and was slightly startled. He then ignored it, and looked into the hall.

The situation in the Thousand Weapons Hall was exactly the same as what he saw many years later. There were broken pieces of tables and chairs everywhere, and some broken bone armored puppets. It was obvious that a fierce battle had just happened.

At this moment, there was no one in the hall, but it was filled with a bloody mist that gave off a sweet smell.

This bloody mist was not harmful. On the contrary, because Han Li's potential had been aroused, his movements were much slower. Once he came into contact with this bloody mist, he immediately slowed down a lot.

He was surprised, but he did not pay much attention to this. His figure flashed, and he rushed to the back of the hall.

As he expected, the black stone chair was still there.

He was delighted, and he grabbed the stone chair and twisted it.

"Kacha", a black tunnel immediately appeared on the ground behind the stone chair, and it led to the underground.

Han Li was ecstatic to see that the mechanisms here had not changed.

He activated the Art of Tranquil Orifices and flew down. He walked along the stone stairs with familiarity and quickly arrived in front of the door at the end of the stone stairs.

Behind the door was the huge underground cavern. Loud rumbling sounds came from the cavern, each sound like a thunderclap, causing the entire underground cavern to shake.

Han Li silently made his way over to the entrance and carefully peered out.

The underground cave was not much different from before; there was a massive lake of blood within, and it was currently rippling violently.

However, there was no crystal coffin at the center of the lake. Instead, there was a crimson square stone platform hovering in the air.

There were nine tall crimson jade pillars around the stone platform, all of which were engraved with countless veined patterns. They were releasing a dazzling crimson light that formed a thick crimson light barrier that enshrouded the stone platform.

There was a figure sitting on the stone platform; it was none other than Daoist Xie, and his entire body was enshrouded in dazzling golden light.

His eyes were tightly shut, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he were enduring extreme pain.

Daoist Xie's body was also trembling slightly as wisps of glowing greyish-white mist were emerging from all over his body, drifting toward the top of his head.

At this moment, a ball of mist that was around 10 feet in size had condensed there, and it was surging incessantly to form a humanoid figure.

On the empty ground beside the lake of blood, there were three figures engaged in an intense battle.

The rumbling booms were caused by the three of them.

The black and white figures were none other than Daoist Xie's Corpse Execution Puppets, while the purple figure was a middle-aged man in a suit of purple armor.

Han Li had seen this man before; he was none other than Demon Lord Shi Kongyu.

"No, this doesn't feel like a real person; it's a puppet!" Han Li's heart stirred, and he immediately identified Shi Kongyu's true body.

The Gilded Scale Spatial Realm didn't allow anyone above the Great Celestial Stage to enter, so Shi Kongyu's true body was naturally unable to enter.

All three of them were moving as fast as lightning, and even with Han Li's reaction speed, he could only just barely keep up with the three of them.

The three silhouettes separated from one another, and every time they exchanged blows, a thunderous boom and an incomparably intense spatial tremor would erupt.

There seemed to be a restriction set up in this underground cave, and bursts of spatial fluctuations crashed into the cave, but aside from making it tremor slightly, it didn't cause much of an impact.

The waters of the lake of blood surged like furious waves, and dense crimson mist rose up to fill the entire underground space.

Shi Kongyu's purple puppet was extremely powerful. Its whole body was wrapped in purple electric arcs, and when it moved, it was like a purple electric dragon streaking across the void, causing deep rumbling sounds. Wherever it passed, it easily drew a zigzagging spatial crack.

Daoist Xie's two Corpse Executioner Puppets were also quite powerful, and their bodies were enveloped in a layer of golden light, so they weren't restricted by the Gilded Scale Spatial Realm.

Unfortunately, Shi Kongyu's puppet was simply too powerful, and the two Corpse Executioner Puppets were still unable to defeat it.

However, Shi Kongyu was also unable to do anything to the two Corpse Executioner Puppets, and the battle ended in a draw.

After a violent clash, both sides were forced to retreat.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Kongyu, stop trying. Your puppet is extraordinary, but it can't defeat us.

I think you should retreat. Fellow Daoist Shi no longer cultivates the Laws of Space, so he won't pose a threat to you. Why don't you find a way to resolve your past grievances and live in peace?

At the end of the day, we're all beings of the Holy Region, and the Heavenly Court is our true enemy, "Daoist Xie said.

Shi Kongyu harrumphed before completely ignoring Daoist Xie's words, and his body swayed before disappearing on the spot.

Daoist Xie's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly evaded to the side, but he had only moved a few feet away when a fist flashing with lightning appeared before striking the spot where he had just been standing.

"Pfft!"

The space where the fist struck trembled like the surface of a lake, creating a black hole that was the size of a water tank.

Right at this moment, a black shadow flashed over Shi Kongyu's head, and another black Daoist Xie appeared out of thin air.

He was holding a black saber in his hand, and streaks of black saber projections erupted forth to form a black lotus flower that came crashing down toward the Stone Void Fish.

The saber projections were able to easily slice through space as if they were made of paper!
