Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 826

Countless blood-colored threads wrapped around the monster’s body, spinning at high speed. The golden threads were unable to hold back the blood-colored shadows and retreated one after another.

Seeing this, Han Li sighed. It seemed the Great Stellar Sword Formation wouldn’t be able to contain the two Cang Laos. He flicked his sleeve, and a dozen or so gold and silver beads appeared in his hand. Holding the Thunder Pattern Beads in his sleeve, Han Li narrowed his eyes, observing the situation inside the sword formation.

However, the woman’s murmuring voice, which had been going on continuously, stopped. Han Li turned his head, his face lighting up.

As the woman activated the hand seal, an enormous golden light was emitted from the formation disc, and silver magic characters densely gathered around her, darkening even the surrounding sky.

A chilling wind suddenly blew, causing goosebumps to rise. Unexpectedly, the woman was using the ambient spiritual energy to cast a spell. Han Li felt a powerful aura from the woman’s formation artifact, and his heart grew cold.

It was an eerie feeling, as intense as what he had felt from the two Yaksha Kings earlier. Startled, he looked at the formation disc in the woman’s hand, but the light was too strong to see clearly.

Then, he immediately activated his Brightspirit Eyes to the extreme.

“Golden Seal Script!”

Although he couldn’t decipher a single one of the golden magic characters that appeared on the surface of the formation disc, each one contained an enormous amount of spiritual energy. It was clearly the Golden Seal Script, even more mysterious than the Silver Seal Script he had only heard about.

Knowing the Golden Seal Script was something only a very few high-level cultivators in the Spirit Realm would know. Feeling Han Li’s gaze, the woman smiled faintly and raised the formation disc high.

Then, a mysterious phenomenon occurred.

The formation disc, enveloped in golden light, spun in the void, forming a fist-sized golden light orb. The immense pressure of spiritual energy pierced the sky, causing dark clouds to gather and a gale to rage.

As if responding to this, the 36 giant flags emitted the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls, and various colors of spiritual light converged.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, all the flags trembled and shot out 36 beams of light into the high sky. At the same time, a deafening thunderclap was heard from the dark clouds, and a huge light formation, over a hundred yards in size, slowly revealed itself.

The center of the light formation was aligned with the formation disc floating in the void, and suddenly, a thin golden thread descended, connecting the two. The golden light orb created by the formation disc slowly rose and moved to the center of the light formation.

Han Li was dumbfounded.

The woman had not spoken about the detailed power of the formation made with the flags, only asking him to buy her some time. Now, it seemed the formation’s power was greater than the Great Stellar Sword Formation.

The woman, supporting the formation disc, was sweating profusely, and her face was turning pale. She looked as if she would collapse at any moment.

The golden light orb was eventually absorbed into the center of the light formation and merged.

Whoosh!

The light formation, which was already emitting a tremendous light, grew several times larger, now almost covering the sky.

* * *

At the same time.

The Yaksha Kings, thousands of miles away, were startled and exchanged glances. Soon, their figures blurred and disappeared, and nothing could be seen on the giant tree.

* * *

Ahwoo! Awoo!

The two Cang Laos howled and broke free from the Great Stellar Sword Formation, turning blood-red and rushing towards Han Li and the woman.

Just as a startled Han Li was about to throw the Thunder Pattern Beads he was holding, the light formation suddenly emitted two milky white beams of light, striking the two Cang Laos.

Thud! Thud!

The Cang Laos, who had been formidable opponents, vanished in the white light.

“Teleportation Formation!”

The sharp-eyed Han Li realized that the Cang Laos had not been attacked but had been trapped in the white light and teleported somewhere. The woman smiled contentedly and was about to tell him something when her expression suddenly hardened, and she rushed towards the light formation.

Han Li didn’t understand what was happening, but he quickly turned into a blue light streak and followed her. At that moment, ripples appeared in the void about a hundred yards away, and two giant figures appeared.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

One of the Yaksha Kings roared and swung his fist from afar, while the other Yaksha King slashed the void with a blood-red hand blade.

The moment the woman entered the giant light formation, the entire formation hummed and grew several times larger, creating spatial ripples. The distortion of space around the light formation was undoubtedly the start of teleportation.

The flying swords that had formed the Great Stellar Sword Formation returned to 72 small swords the moment the Cang Laos escaped the formation and flew into Han Li’s body. However, due to the distortion of the surrounding space, Han Li’s blue light was inevitably slowed down.

His expression changed, and he was about to unleash the power of his newly refined Wind Thunder Wings when the Yaksha Kings’ attacks came crashing down. Among them, the attack of the Yaksha King who had punched from afar transformed into a huge dark blue hand, falling on Han Li’s head.

He wouldn’t be able to move forward without dealing with this attack.

Han Li took a deep breath and shot out a dozen or so gold and silver beads. Then, he flapped the wings on his back, arrived at the center of the formation, and jumped straight inside.

However, the blood-red energy that the Yaksha King had launched struck a corner of the giant light formation. The gold and silver beads collided with the giant hand and exploded, and the blood-red energy hit the white light formation, causing it to ripple.

Boom! Thud! Crack!

A world-shaking roar echoed, and a cloud of gold and silver lightning covered over a hundred yards. The Yaksha King’s figure blurred and reappeared at the edge of the lightning cloud.

They immediately tried to teleport and pull Han Li and the woman out of the teleportation formation, but they were temporarily held back by the explosion of a dozen Thunder Pattern Beads. Each Thunder Pattern Bead had the power equivalent to a single strike from a Void Refinement cultivator.

Swoosh!

At that moment, the light formation emitted a white light and shattered into pieces.

When the two Yaksha Kings forcibly pushed through the cloud of gold and silver lightning and arrived at the spot where the formation had been, only a cracked white formation disc remained.

One of the Yaksha Kings picked it up, examined it, and passed it to the other Yaksha King.

“I can feel the aura of a true spirit inside. It seems we underestimated the human cultivators. To deploy a long-distance teleportation formation in the void!”

The Wheel King, who received the formation disc, sighed.

“Even I did not foresee this. However, the teleportation formation shook at the last moment, so no one knows if they escaped safely. They might have been caught in a spatial rift and already disappeared from this world.”

The Immortal King chuckled nonchalantly.

“Let’s hope so. But where were the Cang Laos teleported to…? It will be a bit of a hassle to find them.”

The Wheel King nodded and frowned, thinking about the Cang Laos.

“That’s nothing. They’re not mindless creatures, and if they weren’t teleported to another continent, they’ll find their way back. More importantly, let’s continue our discussion about the allied forces. So, that is…”

The Yaksha Kings were surprised that Han Li and the woman had escaped, but they didn’t pay much attention to it.

They immediately started another conversation, which was that a large Yaksha army was marching towards the Natural Fortress where the human race was located, a great distance away from them.

* * *

‘Ugh…’

Han Li felt a splitting headache and blinked his blurry eyes. It was a pain that was hard to bear even with his current body, which was tougher than a demonic beast, and he didn’t know how far he had been teleported.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them and looked around.

The place was a pile of gray-white rocks of various sizes, and the surrounding gray fog made it difficult to see far with the naked eye.

He felt a throbbing in his head due to some kind of restriction, and even after recovering from the aftereffects of the teleportation, he couldn’t project his consciousness outside his body. He narrowed his eyes, and a dark blue light appeared in them.

‘Hmm?’

Han Li’s expression changed, and he formed a hand seal with both hands, turning into a blue light streak and entering the fog.

After a while, he stood by a stream with his hands behind his back, looking down at the clear water flowing by. He clenched his fist in the air, and the water from the stream was sucked into a water orb.

When he found nothing unusual, he opened his mouth and swallowed the water orb. It was clear and refreshing. He nodded in satisfaction and was about to take some more water from the stream when he raised his eyebrows and threw a punch behind him.

Thud!

A collision sound was heard from behind, and he could feel the sound of something retreating and heavy breathing. Han Li quickly turned around and flicked his sleeve.

A gale arose, and the gray fog around him scattered for dozens of yards, revealing the appearance of a monster the size of a mat. Even Han Li, who had seen many things, was surprised by the monster’s appearance.

The monster’s appearance was quite unique, with small eyes, a large mouth, a pig’s head, a human body, and a blue turtle shell on its upper body.

The monster, with its four legs facing the sky, was groaning, as if it had been knocked down by Han Li’s blow. The pig demon’s back shell was bulging, and its limbs were short, so it couldn’t get up right away, like an overturned turtle.

“Wangba Pig Demon [Wangba refers to a soft-shelled turtle, often used as an insult, implying someone is a coward or a cuckold].”

Han Li chuckled at the word that suddenly flashed in his mind.

The pig demon’s weak aura was probably around the Foundation Establishment stage of a human cultivator.

Reassured by the weak aura of his opponent, Han Li’s eyes lit up as he remembered that the Wangba Pig Demon had blocked his blow just now.

He turned his gaze and saw that there was indeed a deep fist mark on the pig demon’s turtle shell.

Startled, he clenched his fist in the air, and a giant blue hand grabbed the turtle shell, lifting the pig demon up whole.

However, before Han Li could examine the turtle shell closely, the Wangba Pig Demon nimbly shrunk its body and escaped from inside. The demon, now transformed into a normal baby pig, turned into smoke and disappeared into the gray fog.

Now, the giant blue hand was only holding an empty turtle shell. Han Li was dumbfounded and twitched his lips. The appearance of it struggling on its back just now was an act to deceive him.

The Wangba Pig Demon might look stupid, but it was definitely a cunning and intelligent demon beast. However, he wasn’t very interested in a low-level demon beast at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he didn’t chase after it and only pulled the turtle shell to examine it.

“To think that a turtle shell that’s only a few hundred years old could block my punch. What kind of turtle demon’s shell is this? It’s quite mysterious.”

He thought for a moment and put it in his storage pouch. Then, without looking around, he sat cross-legged by the stream and began to calm his mind.

As the stream became quiet, the surrounding fog dissipated, and animals came to drink water. Among the animals lapping up the water from the stream, there were also young ones that were less than a foot tall. They ran around, rolled on the ground, and played.

Han Li was hiding his aura, so he didn’t attract the attention of the animals, like a stone.

At that moment, a young animal bumped into him. The young animal seemed to sense that something was different, and it circled around him, its beautiful dark blue eyes sparkling. It pushed its fluffy head against Han Li’s face, sniffing, and then stuck out its pink tongue and licked his cheek.

At that moment, Han Li’s eyes suddenly opened.

The startled little animal jumped up and tried to run away, but a green light flashed, and a fragrant pill flew out of Han Li’s sleeve and into the young animal’s mouth.

At the same time, Han Li’s calm voice echoed in the young animal’s ear.

“It seems there is a connection between you and me, so I will give you a Spirit Opening Pill as a gift. Whether you will truly develop spirituality afterward depends on your own fortune.”

Mehhhh!

The little animal, hearing the unfamiliar voice, cried out loudly. Then, the other animals discovered Han Li’s presence and gathered around, pointing their horns at him, wary.

However, Han Li didn’t move, calmly looking at the young animal he had given the pill to, before closing his eyes.
