Wang Yu
Chapter 687 Disbelief
"That sutra banner is the personal immortal artifact of my sect's Mi Luo Grandmaster, the Mi Luo Sutra Banner. The *Great Five Elements Illusionary World Mantra* is indeed hidden within it. Please, Fellow Daoist Li, help me seize this treasure. I only want the *Great Five Elements Illusionary World Mantra* inside, and the Mi Luo Sutra Banner can be yours," Immortal Re Huo hesitated slightly before gritting his teeth and replying through voice transmission.
"As long as it is within my power, I will certainly do my best," Han Li pondered for a moment and replied through voice transmission.
The blue-skinned woman had a better complexion than Hu San. She glanced at Han Li and Immortal Re Huo, and sensing that their cultivation realms were only Golden Immortal, she immediately lost interest and shifted her gaze away.
"By the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Immortal Bi She of the Yi Pao Society, and she is now working with us to fight against these people from the Heavenly Court," Hu San immediately introduced.
"I've heard much about you," Han Li cupped his fist in greeting.
Immortal Re Huo also greeted her.
However, Immortal Bi She ignored them, took out a blue pill, and swallowed it.
"Immortal Bi She is from the Sea Demon Clan and is somewhat hostile to us cultivators. Please don't be offended," Hu San said, a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face as he explained apologetically to Han Li and Immortal Re Huo through voice transmission.
Although the Yi Pao Society was a subordinate organization of the Samsara Hall, he had no right to command Immortal Bi She. Moreover, Immortal Bi She's cultivation was far above his, having reached the late stage of Grand Zenith Heaven, and she could play a pivotal role in the upcoming confrontation. He absolutely could not afford to offend her at this moment.
However, he also needed to win over Han Li and Immortal Re Huo, especially Han Li, who, although only a Golden Immortal, gave him a sense of unfathomable depth.
"It's nothing," Han Li naturally wouldn't mind such a trivial matter and replied through voice transmission.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we separated after entering the remains of the Mantra Gate. I haven't had time to tell you about the contents of this Samsara Hall mission. The mission is to seize that sutra banner and the *Great Five Elements Illusionary World Mantra* inside. Please assist me," Hu San's voice suddenly sounded in Han Li's ear.
Hearing this, Han Li's heart stirred. The target of the Samsara Hall was indeed the *Great Five Elements Illusionary World Mantra*.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, rest assured. Since it is a mission from the Samsara Hall, I will definitely do my best," he immediately replied through voice transmission, readily agreeing.
Now that both Immortal Re Huo and Hu San had asked him to help seize the *Great Five Elements Illusionary World Mantra*, he had verbally agreed to both. As for which side he would help, he could only take things one step at a time.
Immortal Re Huo's ears twitched almost imperceptibly, and he glanced at Han Li and Hu San, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
While Han Li and the others were talking, the three members of the Heavenly Court were also communicating through voice transmission.
"Another two fellows have broken in! Hmph! You two don't need to hold back anymore. If we drag this out any longer, it won't do any of us any good!" Chi Rong frowned deeply and said in a deep voice.
"Hold back? Speaking of which, among the three of us, you, Fellow Daoist Chi, are the one holding back the most. Don't think I don't know your identity," Su Liu said with a sneer.
Chi Rong's body trembled slightly upon hearing this, and his face instantly turned frosty. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a hint of killing intent burst forth.
Su Liu, on the other hand, remained calm, apparently not afraid of Chi Rong at all.
Gong Shu Tian, hearing their words, also had a flicker in his eyes. He glanced curiously at Chi Rong but immediately shifted his gaze away.
"Hmph! The big picture is the priority now. I won't argue with you. Let's first kill these four with all our strength. Do you have any objections?" Chi Rong took a deep breath, and the coldness on his face receded like the tide as he asked.
"Let's eliminate these external enemies first, and then we can talk about the rest slowly," Su Liu raised an eyebrow and didn't argue with Chi Rong.
"Good, then I'll deal with Bi She, Su Liu, you're responsible for Hu San, and as for Gong Shu Tian, you go kill those two Golden Immortals," Chi Rong said after a moment of deliberation.
Su Liu and Gong Shu Tian had no objections upon hearing this.
Just as the three of them finished discussing and were about to attack, Immortal Re Huo suddenly took a step forward and said loudly:
"Fellow Daoists, please hold your hands for a moment and listen to me."
Chi Rong and the others were stunned and exchanged glances with each other, stopping their movements. Hu San and the others were also slightly taken aback by this sudden scene.
"Fellow Daoists belong to different forces, and it is understandable that you are fighting each other here to seize treasures. However, on the way to this Mantra Palace, I encountered an attack by Grey Immortals. There were quite a few of them, and they were also building a cross-border teleportation array here, probably also plotting to seize the treasures here. It is very likely that they will find this place soon. Fellow Daoists, the Grey Immortals are the mortal enemies of all forces in our Immortal World. Why don't we temporarily cease fighting, lie in ambush here, and first join forces to eliminate those Grey Immortals, and then fight for these treasures? What do you think?" Immortal Re Huo looked at both sides, actually trying to persuade them to stop fighting.
Hearing this, everyone present except Han Li was slightly stunned, and then their expressions varied.
"Grey Immortals! Is this true?" Hu San asked with a stern expression.
"It's absolutely true. Fellow Daoist Li and I traveled together and also fought with those Grey Immortals," Immortal Re Huo glanced at Han Li and said.
"That's right, we did encounter an attack by Grey Immortals," Han Li nodded slightly and said.
Although he said so, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart, wondering why Immortal Re Huo suddenly mentioned this matter at this moment. Did he really think that these words would be enough to stop the fighting between the two sides?
Hu San's face became serious, and his eyes flickered, as if he was considering something.
Immortal Bi She also frowned slightly.
Chi Rong, Su Liu, and Gong Shu Tian exchanged glances again, all revealing sneers on their faces. Immediately afterward, their figures suddenly shot out, pouncing towards Han Li and the others like lightning.
"Trying to delay time? This excuse is too clumsy," Gong Shu Tian sneered. The Fire Serpent Giant Sword blazed even more fiercely, spitting out streams of scarlet flames, looking like a roaring fire dragon, and slashed down towards Immortal Re Huo and Han Li, its power far greater than before.
Su Liu also raised his hand and waved it. Crackling thunder rumbled, and streams of thick five-colored lightning surged wildly from his body. Then, with a flash, they condensed into two five-colored electric pythons, each more than ten zhang long, with astonishing momentum.
The electric pythons immediately soared into the sky, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced towards Hu San.
Chi Rong opened his mouth and spat out a patch of crimson fire clouds, which surged violently, emitting thunderous roars.
The fire clouds rolled and tumbled, and countless fire rain fell like meteors, striking Immortal Bi She.
The three of them obviously didn't believe Immortal Re Huo's words at all and started fighting immediately.
Han Li and the others hurriedly engaged in battle. Immortal Re Huo retreated, a red light flashing in his hand, revealing the scarlet banana fan. He fanned it out fiercely.
With a "boom," a scarlet pillar of fire shot out from the fan and soared into the sky.
At the same time, Immortal Re Huo opened his mouth again and spat out a cyan-colored talisman, which flashed and merged into the scarlet pillar of fire.
The talisman flashed and shattered, transforming into a cyan hurricane that merged with the scarlet pillar of fire.
In an instant, the power of wind and fire merged, and the scarlet pillar of fire suddenly expanded several times, transforming into a giant pillar of fire more than ten zhang thick, with an extremely powerful momentum, and met the Fire Serpent Giant Sword.
Gong Shu Tian sneered, pinched his fingers, and the flames on the Fire Serpent Giant Sword swirled, transforming into a ferocious flame dragon head that opened its mouth wide and sucked in a gulp.
The giant pillar of fire shot out uncontrollably, rolling into the dragon's mouth and being completely swallowed in the blink of an eye.
Immortal Re Huo's expression changed upon seeing this. Before he could react, the Fire Serpent Giant Sword in the sky had already slashed down.
The terrifyingly hot firepower enveloped him, seemingly burning everything to ashes.
Immortal Re Huo only felt his body sink, as if being pressed down by a giant mountain. All his movements became extremely slow.
The scorching firepower surged down, and his face instantly turned red, as if his whole body was about to burn.
At that moment, a cyan afterimage flashed, and a cyan giant sword appeared out of thin air in front of the Fire Serpent Giant Sword, slashing forward with a crackling sound.
The two giant swords collided, emitting a deafening roar.
The Fire Serpent Giant Sword was blocked again, stopping in mid-air.
Immediately afterward, a cyan light shot out from behind, wrapped around Immortal Re Huo's body, and pulled him backward, arriving hundreds of zhang away in the blink of an eye.
Han Li's figure flickered, appearing in front of Immortal Re Huo.
Gong Shu Tian, seeing this scene, was not as shocked and angry as before. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, as if his conspiracy had succeeded. He pinched his fingers and pointed.
The dragon's head on the Fire Serpent Giant Sword opened its mouth and spat out ten streams of scarlet fire, which were ten red banners. Each banner was filled with boiling flames, condensing into countless illusions of firebirds, fire snakes, fire tigers, etc., exuding terrifying fire power that could boil the sea and burn the mountains.
The ten fire banners swirled, instantly forming a flame cage, surrounding the cyan giant sword.
Han Li's body trembled slightly, and the connection with the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords weakened instantly. His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly pinched his fingers, trying to summon it back.
The cyan giant sword trembled, and golden lightning jumped violently on it, but it could not break free from the flame cage.
"You want to summon back an immortal artifact that has been imprisoned by my Ten Directions Blazing Fire Banners? Hehe, without this sword, let's see what other means you have!" Gong Shu Tian smiled triumphantly. His shoulders shook, and a large patch of scarlet fire emerged from the top of his head, merging into the Fire Serpent Giant Sword.
The flames on the surface of the Fire Serpent Giant Sword surged again, but it did not slash down again. Instead, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, and a dazzling white light lit up on it.
With a "swoosh," a white fireball shot out from the tip of the sword. It was only the size of a bowl at first, but it quickly grew, transforming into a diameter of several zhang, and smashed towards Han Li like a meteor.
White flames rolled on the fireball, presenting a pure and transparent state, without any impurities.
Wherever the white fireball passed, the void distorted, bringing out traces of black.
The white flames contained amazing firepower, which could actually burn the void!
Even more shocking was that as Gong Shu Tian quickly pinched his fingers, the raging flames on the Fire Serpent Giant Sword shot out six or seven more white fireballs in succession. After hovering slightly nearby, they shot towards Han Li in a crushing manner.
For a time, white flames rolled in front of Han Li, and the void rippled in circles visible to the naked eye, making it impossible for Han Li to dodge.
