1027. Golden Vortex Light

Han Li glanced over and saw the woman and the old man appearing in the distant sky. The old man was somewhat familiar, but he immediately recognized the woman. It was Moon Fairy, who had led another group into the Glacial World when they departed from Cloud City.

The woman still had an icy expression, but her eyes showed surprise. The old man was greatly relieved to see Han Li. With him here, they might not be able to defeat the Rong people, but they could at least save their lives.

In particular, Han Li was a cultivator who had entered the Glacial World with another group, so he wouldn’t stand idly by.

Han Li was also surprised, but he nodded slightly to the two of them and then sent the ruler shadows towards the four Rong people.

In response, two Rong cultivators in the chariot quickly launched an attack. One took out a black flag and waved it, sending out black ropes, while the other spat out a cyan mirror from his mouth, firing green fireballs.

The other two simply stared coldly at Han Li and did not step forward. They seemed to believe that two were enough.

Han Li curled the corners of his lips and activated a blue light from the hand holding the Mixed Origin Ruler. Pure spiritual power flowed madly into the treasure. The vague ruler shadows flickered with the light of spiritual energy, and silver lightning crackled on their surface.

*Kwarurung!*

Numerous silver rulers weaved through the black ropes and green flames, destroying the Rong people’s attacks.

“Oh, my!”

One of the Rong people watching from the chariot frowned at the silver ruler’s attack and threw a red bead from his sleeve. Red spell characters appeared on the surface of the bead, forming a cloud of fire.

Seeing this, Han Li grabbed the air with his pitch-black hand.

*Shhh!*

A pitch-black mountain peak appeared strangely above the red bead and fell. The Rong person who had just released the bead was very flustered. The bead treasure was not refined for direct attacks, so it was weak against such impacts.

The Rong person quickly activated a magic seal, creating twelve bead illusions. The identical bead illusions fled in all directions, avoiding the pitch-black mountain.

In response, Han Li activated his Brightsight Spirit Eyes [a technique that enhances vision], and the black mountain was enveloped in a gray aura and disappeared. The next moment, one of the fleeing beads was suddenly crushed by the black mountain that had appeared out of nowhere.

*Bang!*

Gray and red lights flashed, and the bead shattered into a cloud of fire.

“How dare you break my treasure!”

The Rong person who had been manipulating the bead was enraged and sent out a dozen or so red lights. However, Han Li chuckled and quietly changed the hand seal of the Command Seal.

Then, the silver rulers that had been pushing back the black ropes and green flames changed direction in an instant and gathered in one place. The treasure, merged into a giant silver ruler, emitted a brilliant light.

At this time, a dozen or so red lights were right in front of Han Li’s nose.

Han Li emitted a gray aura from his pitch-black hand, and the red lights, swept up in the gray protective barrier, spun in place, revealing themselves as bright red flying daggers.

At that moment, Han Li swung the Mixed Origin Ruler he was holding horizontally. In response, the giant silver ruler in the distance let out a dragon’s roar and slashed through the chariot with great momentum.

However, the Rong cultivators on the chariot were not going to stand still. They created a net with black ropes to block the front of the chariot, and the mirror that was spewing green flames changed direction, firing a thick green beam of light at the silver ruler.

*Kwakwang!*

The giant ruler was pierced through like paper by the green beam of light. It was clearly different from the power it had shown before. Seeing this, the Rong person manipulating the black flag and the mirror raised his voice.

“Be careful!”

The Rong person sent a gray sword qi flying, striking the void, and the giant silver ruler quietly appeared there. A strange thing happened. The gray sword qi had clearly cut through the silver ruler, but it had passed through as if it had cut through an illusion.

The giant silver ruler suddenly appeared above the head of the Rong person manipulating the flag and fell down fiercely.

The Rong person manipulating the flag was shocked and struck the back of his head, and the thick dark green hairs all over his body *shook!* and flew up.

However, the silver ruler passed through the green lights again and struck the Rong person’s head without hesitation. The Rong person’s protective barrier was useless in front of the silver ruler, and his head exploded, splattering blood everywhere.

The headless corpse rolled off the chariot.

*Thud!*

A green shadow pierced through the corpse and flew towards the Rong person manipulating the mirror with a terrified face.

“Yo Hyung, please save me!”

However, the green shadow exploded as soon as it spoke. A ruler shadow appeared as if teleporting and eliminated the Rong person’s nascent soul [a cultivator’s spiritual core].

Then, the giant silver ruler created three identical illusions and rushed towards the remaining three. Thunder rumbled from the faint ruler shadows.

When their fellow cultivator was killed before their eyes, the remaining cultivators hurriedly used various techniques to block the ruler shadows.

Two of them took out a gray handkerchief and a black shield to block the attacks, but an explosion was heard, and the ruler shadows disappeared completely. The ruler shadows that had attacked them were just a trick.

‘Damn it!’

‘Then…’

The remaining Rong cultivators were terrified and tried to warn each other, but it was already too late. The Rong person manipulating the mirror took out a ring-shaped treasure to block the ruler shadows.

However, the ruler shadows disappeared in front of the ring and appeared in front of the Rong person with a ferocious face, emitting silver lightning. As a result, not even the nascent soul of the Rong person survived, let alone his physical body.

When the silver ruler circled in the air and created another dozen or so shadows to surround them, one of the Rong people cried out with a troubled expression.

“Let’s run! He’s not someone we can handle!”

The Rong person kicked the chariot, and the rhombus-shaped chariot turned blue with a *whoosh* and tried to break through the encirclement of the ruler shadows.

Another Rong person quickly realized the situation and threw a magic seal into the monster in front of the chariot. Opaque spell characters appeared on the dragonfly wings of the chariot. They had decided to run away.

At this time, a calm voice was heard.

“Don’t you think it’s too late to leave now?”

No sooner had the words fallen than a pitch-black mountain appeared on the chariot, and Han Li stood proudly on the mountaintop. The faces of the Rong people below turned pale.

However, one of the Rong people made a desperate decision and summoned green flames from between his palms, and the flames soared into a giant fire-attribute dragon. And another Rong person grew twice his size and slashed upwards with his long, ten fingers.

*Shishishishik.*

Sharp fingernails flew densely.

They were not trying to defeat Han Li, but rather to buy time to escape. As soon as he appeared, two of their fellow cultivators had been killed, so who would be motivated to fight?

Han Li narrowed his eyes and stepped on the mountaintop with one foot.

*Woong.*

The Yuan Magnetic Mountain emitted a gray light, and as it fell, it released silver spell characters on its surface and disappeared. The flames and fingernails then struck the empty void.

And a moment later, a black light flickered above the heads of the Rong people, and a pitch-black mountain peak appeared and fell.

They were more skilled than the cultivators who had died earlier, and even though the Yuan Magnetic Mountain was falling quickly, they kicked off the chariot and tried to escape in different directions.

As soon as they escaped, the chariot could not withstand the weight of the Yuan Magnetic Mountain and shattered, scattering into a light of five-colored spiritual energy. However, Han Li, who had been standing on the pitch-black mountain, was nowhere to be seen.

*Kwagwang.*

One of the fleeing Rong people heard the sound of thunder and quickly raised a black shield. The shield turned into a dark cloud to protect his body, and green flames flowed out of his body, creating another protective barrier.

*Shishishishik!*

At that moment, a winged figure appeared above his head and poured out hundreds of blue sword qi. The blue sword qi shattered the dark cloud and the green protective barrier and turned into blue threads, creating a giant net.

However, the Rong person let out a miserable scream and was helplessly cut down by the sword threads that had transformed from the Azure Bamboo Cloudsword. His physical body, nascent soul, and even the treasures he had released were all cut to pieces and scattered.

The remaining Rong person, who was fleeing, broke out in a cold sweat at the sound of the desperate scream. He did not even look back as he desperately increased the speed of his escape.

However, not long after, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and a golden shadow blocked his path.

“… !”

The Rong person gritted his teeth and held a pitch-black blade in one hand, while the other hand swelled up to a huge size.

A dozen or so blade qi extended from the pitch-black blade, and the enlarged hand tried to strike down on the golden shadow. The black aura dripping from the giant hand seemed to possess terrifying power.

The vague golden shadow took on the form of a three-headed, six-armed figure, revealing the appearance of the Brahma Saint Golden Body [a powerful transformation technique].

Han Li had used the Wind Thunder Wings to fly over and released his second nascent soul and the Golden Body to block the retreat. Even as the black blade qi rushed in and the green giant hand fell, the Brahma Saint Golden Body had no intention of dodging and wore a ferocious smile.

The Golden Body, summoning golden blades in both hands, cut down the black blade qi, and its other two hands clenched into fists and attacked the green giant hand.

When the remaining two hands were clasped together in front of its chest and then spread apart, a golden light mass slowly rose. As two of its heads closed their eyes and chanted, the golden light mass began to rotate rapidly, forming a golden vortex.

It was a sight that was mysterious just to look at.

The black blades were clashing with the golden blades, and the green giant hand had long since collapsed into a light of spiritual energy from the Golden Body’s punches.

In the meantime, the Rong person created a spatial fluctuation behind the Golden Body and tried to escape further by increasing the speed of his escape. But just then, one of the Brahma Saint Golden Body’s heads opened its mouth.

“Golden Vortex Light.”

The golden vortex between its hands suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, a golden vortex appeared behind the Rong person, and the sounds of thunder and Buddhist chanting echoed simultaneously.

The Rong person, who was desperately trying to escape, was suddenly unable to move as if the surrounding air had frozen.

“… !”

The surprised Rong person could not even use another divine ability and was sucked backward by the powerful suction force. A desperate scream erupted from within the golden vortex, followed by a tremendous explosion.

The golden vortex gradually shrank and disappeared with a *pop!* only after the Golden Body stopped chanting.

Han Li, who had appeared next to the Brahma Saint Golden Body, which was cutting through the wind, dusted off his sleeves with a satisfied expression.

*Pop!*

The Golden Body scattered into golden light, and the second nascent soul, wrapped in black aura, returned to his body. Although he had released the second nascent soul, he had advanced too quickly, so he had prevented it from using demonic arts to avoid the emergence of inner demons.

This time, he had faced the enemy entirely with the power of the Golden Body. Of course, this meant that the Golden Body could not fully exert its power, but Han Li, who had reached the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, had mastered the Brahma Saint True Devil Art to the end, so he was able to unleash divine abilities that were incomparable to before.

The Golden Vortex Light was one of them. It was a terrifying divine ability that could kill even a Combination Realm cultivator if they were sucked into the golden light.

Moon Fairy and Old Man Xu hesitated whether to step forward and help him, but they looked on with surprised eyes. This was because Han Li had dealt with the four Rong people in an instant before their hesitation was over.

However, their gazes were filled with a sense of fear rather than joy.

Han Li left the woman and the old man and went straight to Qu Ya. Qu Ya, who had been waiting quietly in place for him, had a few words with him through telepathy and then turned into a white light mass and entered his sleeve.
