Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 925

The skull heads spewed out five-colored flames, covering an area of about a hundred yards. As a result, a black shadow was seen writhing within the five-colored flames. It was the monster moth that had disappeared.

The monster moth’s size had shrunk by more than ten times compared to before, and it moved erratically within the flames. Han Li was pleased and opened his mouth, releasing silver flames and a small cauldron.

The silver flames surged through the air and transformed into a silver firebird the size of a ship. The blue cauldron hummed and emitted blue threads, moving above the monster moth’s head, trying to tightly ensnare the moth within the flames.

However, light flashed from the monster moth’s body, and crystal shields appeared, pushing away the blue threads. At that moment, the silver firebird arrived in front of the monster.

The silver firebird did not attack the monster moth but opened its mouth and fired gold and silver threads. It was the Spirit Immortal Divine Light that the Spirit Devouring Firebird had recently absorbed. The thin threads easily pierced through the monster’s chest as if the crystal shields were nonexistent.

A large hole was pierced in the monster’s chest, but not a single drop of blood flowed. If it were an ordinary monster, it would have fallen after its vital point was pierced, but the monster moth lowered its head to check the wound on its chest, then raised its head and shrieked sharply.

Right then, the gold and silver threads that had pierced through its chest swirled and tried to pierce the monster’s body once more. This time, they were aiming for its head, not its chest.

However, the monster moth suddenly emitted a dazzling green light, and its two arms broke free from the five-colored flame’s restraints, fiercely pounding its chest.

*Thwack!*

A loud sound rang out, and sound waves spread in all directions. The five-colored flames were also pushed back erratically when they touched the sound waves, often scattering.

The monster moth’s serpent-like eyes strangely rotated, glaring at the incoming gold and silver threads.

*Puff!*

Two golden beams shot out from its golden eyes, merging into one in the middle and colliding with the Spirit Immortal Divine Light. The Spirit Immortal Divine Light and the golden beam collided, unexpectedly turning into a gold and silver mass of light that exploded.

At that moment, the Spirit Devouring Firebird spread its two wings wide and flew in. However, the giant serpent-like creature spewed out black liquid, trapping the firebird.

Then, the monster moth’s huge tail struck the air below, and using the recoil, it rushed towards Han Li like an arrow. The monster moth distorted the space in the middle and disappeared from view.

‘…!’

Seeing this, Han Li immediately activated his Destruction Eye and shot out the Divine Light of Destruction. The light of destruction instantly spread in all directions, piercing through the surrounding air.

*Thud!*

The monster moth was pulled out, staggering above Han Li’s head. Even at the moment its location was exposed, the monster stubbornly glared at Han Li, emitting golden light from its eyes.

Moreover, the monster moth’s upper body suddenly stretched out, and it wildly swung its two arms above Han Li’s head, with countless fingernails making sharp, tearing sounds as they aimed for Han Li’s head.

Han Li was more pleased than surprised when the monster chose close combat. He did not make any movements, but the golden Dharma Idol [a divine representation of a deity] above his head absorbed the light into Han Li’s body.

Then, golden scales covered his body, and four golden arms grew from his back. Each hand held golden weapons.

There were a total of six weapons: a saber, a sword, a staff, a ring, a pestle, and a mace, which was a long, rectangular weapon with a handle.

The Destruction Eye between his eyebrows emitted light, and a black beam stretched out to meet the two golden beams. Then, six arms swung, and two golden weapons headed towards the giant snake tail flying in from one side.

The remaining four weapons gathered towards his head, creating a golden weapon shadow for defense.

The monster moth’s golden light, tail, and fingernail phantoms collided with Han Li’s attacks, creating a tremendous sound. Han Li also trembled and stepped back two steps, and the golden weapons shattered and disappeared.

However, the monster moth’s situation was not much better. Its tail was flung away, and its two forearms were stained with blood, indicating that it had suffered considerable injuries.

The monster’s strength was greater than Han Li’s, but its body’s durability could not match his. The crystal shields that protected the giant moth’s body seemed helpless against materialized attacks like weapons.

*Hiss!*

The monster moth’s golden eyes glowed, and its two blood-stained arms were covered in green light, completely recovering. Then, it shook its wings and explosively released white energy again.

The wings flashed and disappeared, and hundreds of blades floated in the air, emitting a chilling light. The monster’s eyes became ferocious, and the blades wailed as if they were about to attack at any moment.

However, Han Li chuckled, and the golden scale armor covering his entire body and the four golden arms that had appeared on his back vaguely disappeared.

*Clang!*

At that moment, Han Li formed a hand seal, and a pair of crystal wings appeared from his back with a thunderous sound. Han Li flapped his wings and disappeared silently from that spot, then reappeared strangely dozens of yards away.

Strangely, he did not seem to have any intention of attacking immediately, but watched the monster moth with a strange gaze. The monster moth was puzzled but shrieked sharply, raising the scales on its body and chasing after him.

Right then, Han Li suddenly clapped his hands and smiled.

“Fall! Fall! Fall!”

At Han Li’s words, the monster moth’s head became heavy, and the sensation in its chest area began to dull. In a hurry, it lowered its head to check and saw that half of the wound on its chest was stained with a dark purple color.

Moreover, a pungent fishy smell emanated from the monster’s entire body. It had been poisoned by a strange poison it had never seen before. The poison was insidious and its effects were overwhelming. At first, there were no symptoms, but once it took effect, it was already beyond help.

The monster moth was so surprised that it opened its mouth and sent a cyan bead wrapped in green light to its chest. The bead spun around, emitting a green light, and a strange medicinal fragrance spread. Then, the pungent fishy smell gradually faded, and the purple poison that was spreading rapidly solidified and could no longer spread.

At this, Han Li was inwardly surprised.

The fact that it did not die immediately from the toxicity of the Spirit Immortal Divine Light meant that it had some resistance to poison. Han Li suddenly flew forward, transforming into a blue roc [a mythical bird of prey].

The roc, accompanied by a blue gale, arrived above the monster moth that was dealing with the poison. As the roc spread its two wings, a loud thunderclap rang out, and thick golden lightning and a pair of golden claws fiercely shot out.

The monster moth below also shook its body, sending the strange blades on its back flying into the air. The roc did not pay any attention to the densely flying white blades and swooped down.

*Thwack!* *Piff! Piff! Piff! Piff!*

The strange white blades bounced off as soon as they hit the roc’s feathers. Han Li was already tough, and he had even transformed into a roc, so there was no way he could be injured by such blades. Rather, the roc’s sharp claws pierced through the blades and pierced the monster moth’s body like lightning.

*Swoosh!*

The monster moth’s body was torn to shreds, but it was as if there was nothing inside. The real monster moth had long since disappeared, and only its shell remained in its place.

Even the green bead that had been driving out the poison from its chest flickered and scattered, revealing that it was just an illusion.

At this, the roc quickly looked around, shimmering with navy blue light, and shook its wings, explosively releasing golden lightning around it. The golden lightning condensed into one and shot out as a lightning net, its length easily reaching dozens of yards.

*Clang! Crack! Crack!*

The golden lightning appeared and disappeared like a ghost in the surrounding hundreds of yards, searching for the monster.

*Bang!*

A loud sound rang out, and the golden lightning spread out into countless thin lightning threads in the air fifty yards away. However, something green flickered below it and broke through the golden net.

It was the monster moth that had secretly escaped.

Two-thirds of the monster moth’s body was stained with a dark purple color, and it was barely suppressing the toxicity. Its two arms and tail were faintly shimmering with green light, with a faint black hue, indicating that they had some resistance to the poison.

However, it was still in a precarious state due to the poison taking effect. The monster moth had no choice but to use its magic power to overcome the Evil-Slaying Divine Lightning, and the poison that it had barely been holding back spread fiercely again, further worsening its condition.

The blue roc soared up like lightning, looking down at the giant moth with cold eyes. The roc that Han Li had transformed into was not a true Kun Peng True Spirit [a legendary bird], but it possessed true blood, exuding an unknown sense of pressure.

At this, fear flashed in the monster moth’s eyes, and it tried to escape using a stealth technique, shimmering with a gray light.

*Clang!*

Suddenly, the monster moth’s cyan bead shattered for no reason. Both the monster moth and Han Li flinched at this sudden change. However, the monster moth shrieked and explosively inflated its form, and once again, a lion’s head strangely emerged from its neck.

The monster rushed at Han Li with ferocious eyes. As it wildly swung its two arms, the surrounding fingernail phantoms merged into two giant fingernails and flew towards him. Then, countless points of light from the surrounding heaven and earth energy rose up and were sucked into the two fingernails.

The giant fingernail phantoms, surrounded by heaven and earth energy, slowly slashed at Han Li. He tried to dodge, but there was no way to avoid it.

At this, the roc let out a clear cry, and a blue light swirled, instantly transforming into a five-colored peacock. For some reason, he unexpectedly activated the Awakening of Insects Transformation and transformed into a five-colored peacock.

Due to this, a mysterious event unfolded.

As the fingernail phantoms approached, the five-colored peacock’s feathers popped out and entered the flames surrounding its body. The five-colored light increased several dozen times and blazed fiercely.

The monster moth had an incredulous look on its face at the sudden appearance of the five-colored peacock and the tremendous momentum of the five-colored light.

Light flashed, and the giant fingernails collided with the five-colored light. Within the five-colored light, the giant fingernail phantoms melted away like bubbles. The previous strange momentum was all an illusion.

However, Han Li was cautious and appeared twenty yards away, shimmering with five-colored light. The monster moth glared at Han Li with a venomous expression when its attack failed again. Right then, the purple poison surged powerfully, and both heads were stained with a dark purple color.

The monster trembled, losing the light in its eyes, and fell to the ground. At this, the five-colored peacock folded its wings and returned to its human form. Han Li floated in the air, watching the giant moth fall.

*Thud!*

The monster moth’s purple body fell powerlessly to the ground.

Han Li raised his eyebrows and summoned a silver fireball. It was the Spirit Devouring Heavenly Flame that had been trapped by the giant moth. The silver fireball soon spread its wings and became a silver, dazzling firebird.

Just as the firebird was about to pounce on the monster moth lying on the ground, the monster’s two heads exploded and scattered into a bloody mist. From within, two green fireballs shot out, each flying in a different direction.

*Whoosh-*

Han Li, who was watching from the air, immediately formed a hand seal. Then, a wave appeared behind the green fireballs, and a mass of blue threads appeared.

As the blue threads tightly bound the two green fireballs, a small cauldron floated nearby. At this, Han Li gave an order to the silver firebird with a cold gaze, and the silver firebird, upon receiving his command, exploded on its own, transforming into two fireballs that shot out.

The green fireballs, engulfed in silver flames, screamed miserably and slowly transformed into round objects. It was as if they were blinking at Han Li.

‘What is it?’

Han Li was startled and unconsciously flew away, and the green fireballs completely disappeared within the silver flames.

Han Li appeared ten yards away, shimmering with blue light. The soul of a high-level monster was a useful material. However, keeping a soul with unknown power alive was also leaving behind a potential problem.

Also, using soul-searching techniques on an existence of a higher level than himself to find out information was too dangerous.

‘To think it had two souls…’

Han Li sighed lightly and flicked his sleeve towards a distant place. Then, the silver flames, the Void Sky Cauldron, the Primal Magnetic Mountain, and the 72 Azure Bamboo Cloud Swords all returned to him.

Only then did Han Li withdraw the blue light and descend gracefully.
