Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 641

Han Li’s blue light streak zipped past the area where the three were fighting, about to disappear.

“Do you want to die!” the level 10 demon beast old man roared without hesitation. Even though he knew Han Li, in the light streak, was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, he pointed at the blue net. Blue clouds trembled, spewing out dozens of lightning bolts, trying to slice Han Li’s head off.

The fist-sized lightning bolts slashed through the air for about twenty feet, leaving no room to escape.

However, Han Li only slightly narrowed his brow and didn’t slow down at all. Suddenly, a humanoid puppet appeared behind him, taking out a bright red bow and drawing the bowstring.

Kuurung!

Numerous fire arrows shot towards the blue lightning bolts, exploding in mid-air. The sight of blue and red sparks falling from the sky was incredibly beautiful.

The fire arrows were slightly less powerful than the blue lightning bolts, but they were enough to slow them down. In the meantime, the blue light streak quickly passed through the battlefield and flew towards the entrance of the main hall.

“Huh!” With the cultivation of a level 10 demon beast, there was no way he couldn’t see the humanoid puppet hidden by the light. He looked at Han Li, who was disappearing towards the main hall, with a puzzled look, but he didn’t bother to follow. Instead, he focused his attacks even more on the two cultivators in front of him.

Bai Yaoyi was also surprised. The blue light streak was so fast that she couldn’t identify Han Li, but she recognized that he had passed by because of a very familiar feeling.

‘Did the Great Elder and the other elders come out of the Mysterious Jade Cave!’ she wondered. While thinking this, the woman hurriedly injected spiritual power into her two flying swords to help Elder Ye block the increasingly fierce attacks of the powerful enemy in front of her.

Elder Ye also didn’t know who the cultivator in the blue light streak was, but he didn’t think much about it because the demon beast was blocking him, assuming he wasn’t an enemy.

The black and white energy flowing from the jade bottle in his hand became even brighter. This Two-Qi Bottle was a replica of a Heaven-Reaching Treasure [a very powerful and rare treasure], and without it, it would have been difficult for him and Bai Yaoyi, both mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, to face a level 10 demon beast.

At that moment, Han Li stopped the blue light and appeared about ten feet inside the main hall door. Just as he was about to scan the situation inside, an old man’s voice was heard.

“Another one has come to die! Good, come in!” Before Han Li could even react, black light surged from all directions, and the surrounding scenery changed. He was trapped in a strange space where black demonic energy was raging.

Han Li was greatly surprised.

The surrounding demonic energies were raging fiercely, and it seemed like he would die if he stayed like this. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists inside his sleeves.

At the same time, thunderous sounds spread from his whole body, and golden lightning covered him. Then, as he shook his arms, dozens of golden swords were released, circling around him and protecting him.

At that moment, black demonic energies surged in and collided with the golden light.

The Green Bamboo Cloud Swords, which had turned golden, rotated fiercely like a wheel, scattering the black demonic energy.

When Han Li realized that the black demonic energy wasn’t as difficult to deal with as he had expected, he felt relieved and carefully looked around. However, he couldn’t see anything other than the dark demonic energy.

“Your flying swords are quite useful! This venerable one must take them,” a voice like the old man’s was heard from somewhere, revealing his greed for Han Li’s flying swords.

Han Li, who had paused for a moment, smiled coldly and shook his sleeves, causing three-colored light to flow out and become the Three-Flame Fan in his hand.

He judged that the opponent wouldn’t be easy to deal with, given his confident tone. Above his head, demonic energies fiercely gathered and created a vortex, rising like a wave.

The black vortex, nearly fifteen feet high, spun at an extremely fast speed, making strange noises, and a large amount of black energy flowed out from the center of the vortex, pouring down.

‘……!’

Han Li felt that the situation was strangely turning, so he quickly formed a hand seal, and golden sword lights condensed from all directions, creating a golden lotus flower.

The illusion of the golden lotus flower spun and flew towards the black energy, and the moment the two collided, a strange sound pierced the ears.

Han Li was startled when the flying swords in the form of a golden lotus flower lost control and were about to be sucked in by the powerful suction force. His expression changed slightly, and he drew up the magic power in his body.

If an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivator had faced such a powerful suction force, they would have lost control of their natal magic treasure [a magic treasure that is connected to the cultivator’s life force], but Han Li’s cultivation was more profound than others. The Green Bamboo Cloud Swords were also made of rare materials and had been refined several times, making them incomparable to ordinary magic treasures.

As Han Li quickly used the Azure Essence Sword Technique, the golden lotus flower trembled and overcame the suction force, continuously spinning around him and blocking the black light of the vortex.

At this moment, he didn’t hesitate to flap the feather fan towards the vortex.

Flap!

Three-colored pillars of fire surged from the feather fan, attacking the black energy.

Ku-kwa-kwang!

Explosions rang out in succession, and the three-colored flames exploded as if ice had been thrown into oil when they touched the black energy. Because the three-colored flames were much stronger than the black energy, they pierced through the black energy amidst the flashing of spells and disappeared into the center of the vortex.

Han Li focused his consciousness and stared at it.

After a while, a buzzing sound came from the center of the black vortex, and the black light fluctuated erratically, increasing and decreasing. The black vortex, which had been dozens of feet in the air, scattered into the demonic energy.

Han Li frowned and waved his hand, causing the Three-Flame Fan to disappear, but his expression wasn’t one of success. He had used 20% of his magic power using the Three-Flame Fan, but he hadn’t inflicted any damage on the opponent.

“A replica of a spiritual treasure? Are you perhaps from the Han family?” the old voice asked, as if puzzled.

“Do you know me?”

“It would be stranger not to recognize a feather fan spiritual treasure that emits three-colored flames! I heard that you ruined this venerable one’s subordinate’s work at Mount Kunwu, and now what are you doing at the Small Extremity Palace?”

“If you are a subordinate, are you the demon cultivator of the Myriad Demon Valley?” Han Li was startled inside, but his expression didn’t change. Although he didn’t know much about the Myriad Demon Valley, he had heard of the valley lord. If the opponent was the valley lord of the Myriad Demon Valley.

Everyone said that the depth of the Myriad Demon Valley’s demon cultivator’s cultivation was unknown, but if the deputy valley lord, Wan Nianxiong, was in the late Nascent Soul stage, then the valley lord must be at the Spirit Transformation stage!

Otherwise, the Myriad Demon Valley, which was full of high-level demon beasts, wouldn’t have survived in the Great Jin until today. It would have been destroyed long ago by the invasion of the Ten Demonic Sects.

“Yes, this old man is correct. I heard from Mr. Xiong that you and Fairy Linglong are acquaintances and that you returned to the ninth floor of the True Devil Pagoda together… The True Devil Qi on the ninth floor has been sealed again, and you have appeared here safely, so it seems that the fairy has already returned to the Spirit World [a higher realm of existence].” The old voice seemed to be strangely excited and fearful as he uttered the words ‘Spirit World’.

“Fairy Linglong has indeed returned to the Spirit World using the Reverse Spirit Formation. Are you acquainted with her?” Han Li thought for a moment and answered calmly. However, he silently took out a green wooden ruler and a fire cauldron from his sleeves.

“How could I, a humble being in the Spirit World, say that I know the queen of the demon kings? But since Fairy Linglong sent you out, she must have given you some items as well? Where is the Eight Spirit Ruler spiritual treasure that was suppressing the ancient demons in the True Devil Pagoda?” At his chilling tone, Han Li raised his eyebrows and gripped the wooden ruler even more tightly inside his sleeve.

“Why is it difficult to answer this old man’s question?” The old man’s voice became sinister, and a powerful pressure of spiritual energy surged towards Han Li. However, Han Li also had a consciousness comparable to a late Nascent Soul cultivator, so he only trembled slightly and didn’t budge from his spot.

“Huh! You are…” The old man muttered as if he found it strange. Han Li’s eyes flashed even more after the powerful pressure of spiritual energy had passed.

“Everyone says that the demon cultivator has been in secluded cultivation deep in the Myriad Demon Valley and doesn’t come out of the valley, but it seems that you are still only at the Spirit Transformation stage. Otherwise, there is no way that the demon cultivator’s reputation would only be this much.”

“Even so, what can you do?”

“I have no intention of getting involved in the affairs between you and the Small Extremity Palace. I am just trying to leave the Void Spirit Hall through the teleportation array here. If you don’t want me to help the Small Extremity Palace cultivators, then just let me go!” Han Li conveyed what he wanted without hesitation. If the opponent wasn’t a Spirit Transformation cultivator himself, then he had nothing to fear.

“It has been a while since I have heard someone threaten this old man… I heard from Mr. Xiong that you possess the Evil-Slaying Divine Lightning and that you have many divine abilities? But the Evil-Slaying Divine Lightning is only useful against demonic energy, so what can you do when you are trapped in the Myriad Demon Banner? If you don’t want to die without a trace, then hand over the items left by Fairy Linglong and the Eight Spirit Ruler. Then, I might be in a good mood and open a path for you to live!” The demon cultivator said threateningly with a laugh, and Han Li just sighed. It seemed that the demon cultivator had no intention of letting him go.

Han Li thought that he couldn’t resolve this with words anymore, so he decided to stop the useless conversation. He stretched out one hand and emitted a red light, and something flew above his head. It was the nameless fire cauldron.

He formed a hand seal and chanted a spell. Then, flames soared from the fire cauldron and grew larger, the lid flew off, and small fire crows poured out from inside.

The fire crows, which densely filled Han Li’s surroundings, seemed to number over a thousand. Considering the power of the Myriad Demon Banner, he had revealed the full power of the fire cauldron.

Not only that, but even the Taiyin True Fire, which had been leisurely sitting on his shoulder, transformed into a fire crow, the Taiyin Fire Crow, and mixed into the gaps between the small fire crows and disappeared.

At this moment, Han Li’s spell suddenly stopped, and at his low shout, the fire crows emitted red flames and rushed in all directions. The moment the demonic energy and the sea of fire came into contact, a roar followed, but surprisingly, the black demonic energies were gradually retreating.

“Are you trying to escape this venerable one’s Myriad Demon Banner with petty tricks!” The demon cultivator sneered and shouted sharply as if he would pierce the sky.

The demonic energies that had been pushed back immediately solidified at the shout and took the form of black energy masses. Black demon beasts and strange birds appeared in the demonic energy.

The cries were different, and the types were different. The large ones were 20 to 30 feet in size, and the small ones were only a few inches. Han Li was startled by the swarm of black demon beasts that were rushing at him.

Since they were created by the condensation of black demonic energy, they seemed truly endless. Han Li frowned and silently threw consecutive magic seals into the fire cauldron above his head.

The cauldron trembled and emitted a great light, transforming into a huge fireball. Countless flames poured out of the cauldron, adding to the sea of fire, and the temperature of the entire space rose. Even within the sea of fire, fist-sized fireballs condensed.

Each fireball contained a fire crow that had greatly increased in size, and they rushed towards the swarm of demon beasts that were attacking from all directions.

The fireballs of various sizes collided with the demon beast army, and explosions burst out like crazy. Over a thousand fire crows flew around and began to fight the demon beasts.

The flames and demonic energy mixed and formed a temporary stalemate.

When the demon beasts were pierced and killed by the fire crows, they condensed again in the demonic energy and returned to their original forms. The fire crows also condensed again in the flames and returned even if they were killed by the demon beasts.

The old demon cultivator snorted, and the demonic energy became denser, and the sound of chanting spells echoed from all directions. Han Li’s eyes flashed, and his expression changed. In the place where the black vortex had been, the demonic energy raged fiercely, and a large demon beast’s claw slowly revealed itself.

The black, gleaming demon beast’s claw was about three or four feet in size, and it looked incredibly sharp with its sinister gleam. The pressure from the mere force of the giant demon beast’s claw descending was like a mountain pressing down.
