Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 724

“Cultivator Feng, do you know him?”

“He’s the human cultivator who killed Golden Fellow’s grandson and stole the treasure I was refining. How dare he show up in the Outer Star Sea again! I absolutely cannot let him escape this time. His cultivation is…”

Feng Xi scanned Han Li with an excited look, but suddenly trailed off, his expression turning incredulous.

“He came looking for us first.”

The Golden Flood Dragon King’s eyes flashed gold as he spoke ominously.

“Impossible. How could someone who was only a Core Formation cultivator… Has he really reached the Great Cultivator realm?”

“Cultivator Feng has been in secluded cultivation for hundreds of years, so you may not know what happened on Biling Island. Not only is he a late-Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, but he came looking for us first, so it can’t be for a good reason. We must be careful.”

The Golden Flood Dragon King moved his lips, sending a telepathic message to Feng Xi. Feng Xi licked his lips and nodded.

As the two demons stared at him with hostility, Han Li spoke first.

“I was waiting for Fellow Golden, but to think that I’d run into Fellow Feng as well. What a pleasant surprise! It seems my long wait was worth it.”

Han Li put his hands behind his back and sneered at the demon cultivator in the blue robe.

“You were looking for me? I doubt you came to return the high-grade spirit stones.”

The Golden Flood Dragon King chuckled menacingly.

“I’ll make good use of the high-grade spirit stones, so Fellow Golden doesn’t need to worry about them. I’ve come this time to borrow your demon core. If you hand it over willingly, there’s no need for us to fight!”

Han Li turned his gaze to the Golden Flood Dragon King, uttering words that left the two demons dumbfounded.

“You want my demon core? How dare you speak so presumptuously in front of me! Fine, if you want it, try and take it!”

The Golden Flood Dragon King was enraged and let out a hollow laugh, his golden robe transforming into golden armor.

At the same time, a dazzling light of spiritual energy burst from the old demon’s head, and golden scales covered his cheeks, while a sturdy-looking tail grew from his back.

The Golden Flood Dragon King had transformed into his half-human, half-dragon form for battle.

*Clang!*

His hand slashed through the air, and a golden spear, crackling with silver lightning, appeared and disappeared before reappearing in front of Han Li. The golden spear was covered in fierce silver lightning.

Han Li hadn’t expected his opponent to come at him like this, but he was prepared. He shook something from his sleeve, and a silver light flashed before him, and a silver lotus flower of several feet in size bloomed strangely.

The golden spear didn’t stop, piercing straight into the center of the lotus.

*Thud!*

However, the silver lotus vibrated, emitting a seven-colored Buddhist light that completely blocked the golden spear. Han Li quickly formed a hand seal, and a thunderous sound came from behind him as blue and white wings appeared.

He lightly flapped his wings, retreating twenty feet, and smirked at the two demons.

“Wind Lightning Wings!”

Seeing the pair of wings, Feng Xi shouted angrily and furiously shook his sleeves, pulling out a pair of red axes.

As he stretched out his arms, the short axes turned into two streaks of red light, rushing towards Han Li. Han Li scoffed at this and opened his mouth, spitting out a ball of blue light, summoning a small cauldron.

Activating the Heavenly Void Seal, the Heavenly Void Cauldron rang out clearly as its lid flew off.

At that moment, the red lights that had approached crossed above Han Li’s head, trying to cut him down. They seemed poised to tear him to pieces in an instant. But Han Li simply flicked the small cauldron with his finger.

*Thump!*

Strands of blue threads shot out, splitting left and right, covering the sky with blue energy and enveloping the red lights.

Feng Xi was greatly shocked and tried to escape, but soon lost connection with his twin axes and could only watch as they were sucked into the blue cauldron.

Feng Xi stopped his hand seals, dumbfounded.

The twin axes were something he had taken from a Nascent Soul cultivator he had killed in the human realm, and their power was quite extraordinary.

Yet, before they could even display their abilities, they were sucked into a seemingly unremarkable small cauldron. A bad feeling made his spine tingle.

He now realized that Han Li was not the Core Formation cultivator who had desperately fled from his grasp.

“Cultivator Feng, be careful! That cauldron seems to be the Heavenly Void Cauldron that the human cultivators have been talking about. Let’s deal with him together.”

After his first attack failed, the Golden Flood Dragon King didn’t immediately make another move, but instead retrieved his golden spear.

“Understood. I don’t need the Heavenly Void Cauldron. I’ll be satisfied if I can kill him and get back my Wind Lightning Wings.”

Feng Xi’s heart sank at the Golden Flood Dragon King’s words, and he shouted even more fiercely in anger.

“Then let’s do it!”

The Golden Flood Dragon King burst into laughter, causing the light of his golden armor to flare up, making it impossible to look directly at him, as if a huge sun had risen. This meant he was using his magic power to its extreme.

And then, something incredible happened.

The Golden Flood Dragon King let out a long roar, and his side blurred as two more arms covered in golden scales popped out.

As the two arms grasped at the air, a light of spiritual energy flashed, and one arm held a three-foot-long white sword, while the other held a golden shield.

The shield, in particular, was densely covered with coin-sized scales, making it seem as if it had been forged from the Golden Flood Dragon King’s own scales.

The Golden Flood Dragon King hurriedly formed a hand seal, trying to unleash some kind of secret technique.

Seeing this, the words ‘Vast Celestial Formation’ flashed in Han Li’s mind, and his face darkened as he thought of the old demon. Meanwhile, Feng Xi threw off his robe, revealing his bare upper body and unleashing a pair of wings.

The wings, about a foot in size, shimmered beautifully with a bright blue light.

However, Feng Xi’s face turned bluish-green, and sharp claws grew on his hands, giving him a sinister appearance.

“Since you two are trying to overwhelm me with numbers, would it be alright if I called in some help as well?”

Han Li’s lips twitched as he let out a light laugh.

Before the Golden Flood Dragon King and Feng Xi could grasp Han Li’s intentions, a desolate wailing sound came from the distant sky. It wasn’t coming from just one direction, but from all over, heading towards them.

“Let’s move quickly. We must kill him before anyone else arrives.”

The Golden Flood Dragon King’s face hardened as he shouted.

He stopped his hand seals and opened his mouth, unleashing a golden pillar of light. He then charged towards Han Li with the weapons in his three arms.

Feng Xi didn’t hesitate either, flapping his wings and disappearing into the strong wind, covering Han Li like a blue shadow.

Seeing this, Han Li raised an eyebrow and lifted a jade-colored wooden ruler in one hand. The wooden ruler rolled in his palm, greatly amplifying the light of the lotus, protecting Han Li.

Han Li then immediately summoned a three-colored feather fan and fanned it forcefully towards the incoming pillar of light.

*Whoosh!*

The pillar of light, created by the Golden Flood Dragon King’s demon power, was immediately devoured by the flames as soon as it collided with the three-colored fire pillar.

The Golden Flood Dragon King, who was flying in from behind, was startled by this, but didn’t slow down. He forcefully swung one of the arms that had grown from his side.

The light of the white sword and the golden spear flew through the sky like a stream, pouring down on the three-colored flames.

Han Li didn’t know what kind of treasures the golden spear and white sword were, but they weren’t afraid of the intense heat of the three-colored flames, charging forward and colliding with the flames, blocking them.

Han Li was puzzled, but he didn’t have time to worry about it.

The blue shadow that Feng Xi had transformed into had surprisingly closed the distance of 30 to 40 feet in an instant, using some kind of earth escape technique, and was now right next to him.

Flapping his wings, Feng Xi swung his sharp claws. Blue feathers exploded from the demon’s wings, and sharp energy shot out from his claws, attacking Han Li inside the silver lotus.

Despite Feng Xi’s fierce attacks, Han Li calmly opened his mouth and released several golden lights.

With dull thuds, the blue feathers and sharp lights fell, but the giant silver lotus rotated, absorbing all the attacks.

And then, he strangely appeared in front of a shocked Feng Xi. Just as the demon was about to move his wings and disappear, golden light pierced through him. But Feng Xi had already disappeared, leaving only an afterimage.

Feng Xi, who had reappeared twenty feet away, was pale, as if he had used a considerable amount of magic power for the teleportation. Han Li narrowed his eyes.

‘If he’s so proficient in wind escape techniques, it’ll take some time to kill him…’

He immediately moved his consciousness, enlarging the small swords to a foot in size and chasing after Feng Xi.

Feng Xi grabbed at the air with a cold face, and a giant blue claw appeared in the air, catching several flying swords like lightning. The demon used a fierce secret technique, putting power into the giant claw.

However, no matter how much power the giant claw exerted, the flying swords were too hard and didn’t budge. Feng Xi’s heart grew cold.

But before he could think of another way, a *humming* sound came from somewhere. The golden flying swords unexpectedly broke free from the giant claw and circled around it, shattering it into pieces.

The remnants of the giant blue claw scattered in the air. The flying swords nimbly changed direction and now rushed towards Feng Xi. Panicked, Feng Xi hurriedly spat out a blue jade bowl, creating a protective barrier.

*Tzzzt.*

The sound of the bowl being scratched rang out as the golden flying swords touched the blue barrier. The flying swords emitted a strong golden light and pierced straight through the blue barrier.

Feng Xi’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly flapped his wings, trying to escape. The golden flying swords also changed direction and chased after him, their speed not lagging behind Feng Xi’s.

The demon was now starting to panic. He looked anxiously towards where the Golden Flood Dragon King was, but his heart grew even heavier.

The Golden Flood Dragon King was blocking the three-colored flames and charging towards Han Li’s side, fiercely attacking the silver lotus with various weapons.

But just as the lotus was about to scatter, Han Li lightly swung the jade-colored wooden ruler, and it flashed with a seven-colored Buddhist light, returning to its original form.

Even the Golden Flood Dragon King couldn’t do anything to Han Li. Feng Xi now rolled his eyes, wondering if he should run away now.

Han Li’s abilities had far exceeded his expectations.

But then, the demon’s escape light flickered and stopped in place. Somehow, twelve snow-white centipedes were flapping their wings, surrounding him.

“Six-Winged Frost Centipedes!”

Feng Xi’s face darkened rapidly as he recognized the centipedes. But then, the Golden Flood Dragon King, who had been fiercely attacking the silver lotus, stopped his attacks and transformed into a golden streak of light, flying away.

He was trying to escape alone. Han Li’s voice came from inside the lotus shadow.

“Do you think you can escape now?”

Then, ten red threads shot out from within, tightly binding the demon, and then turned into thick ropes, burning with a red light.

The demon was covered in bright red flames.

At the same time, a wind of gray-white demonic energy blew from high above, and five demon heads wailed, revealing their sharp teeth on their pale faces.

The demon heads weren’t afraid of the red flames and jumped straight into the sea of fire. Soon after, the Golden Flood Dragon King’s terrified screams and eerie cries could be heard.

It sounded like something terrible was happening to him.

Seeing this, Feng Xi felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that he couldn’t face Han Li, let alone the twelve Six-Winged Frost Centipedes that had gathered from all directions.

He made a decision and immediately formed a hand seal. His upper body swelled up and burst, spilling out countless blood vessels. Suddenly, a blood-red mist surrounded him.

The demon’s wings absorbed the blood-red mist and turned crimson. He took a deep breath and flapped his wings, trying to escape.

But at that moment, a Buddhist chant rang out from beneath his feet, and a tremendous suction force pulled Feng Xi down.

“…!”
