Wang Yu
Chapter 824 Immovable
This person's cultivation was about mid-stage of the Taiyi Realm, which didn't seem too high, but his physical body was powerful. Just standing there, he resembled a giant mountain, giving people a great sense of oppression.
The Demon Race inherently possesses a natural advantage in physical body cultivation. Coupled with the fact that the other party was royalty, his talent would definitely not be low. Whether it was the cultivation method or resources, he wouldn't lack anything. If factors such as immortal artifacts and laws were put aside, and only physical strength was used to fight, he was afraid that he might not have any advantage.
"Reporting to Your Eighth Highness, the Holy Lord strictly ordered the strengthening of city defenses before the New Year. Anyone entering or leaving the Raksha Zone must show proof of identity. This subordinate does not recognize the Thirteenth Highness. Since the Thirteenth Highness cannot prove his identity, this subordinate assumed he was an impostor. For the safety of the capital, this subordinate dared to offend." Luo Tie glanced at the Eighth Prince and said quickly.
"Hehe, Thirteenth Brother, you see, it's just a misunderstanding. Luo Tie was transferred here during the years you were away from Nightfall City, and he doesn't recognize you. Moreover, what he did today was because he was fulfilling his duty. He is my subordinate, so please give Eighth Brother some face and let this matter end here, how about it?" The Eighth Prince said with a smile.
"Your subordinate? Father Emperor has entrusted the city defense army to you?" Shi Chuan Kong's pupils shrank.
"Yes. It's really troublesome, but since Father Emperor has appointed me, I have no choice but to accept the order." The Eighth Prince grinned, revealing his white teeth.
Shi Chuan Kong's expression became even more grave, and his eyes flickered.
"Luo Tie, quickly apologize to the Thirteenth Prince. Thirteenth Brother is magnanimous and wouldn't lower himself to the level of someone like you." The Eighth Prince laughed.
"Thirteenth Prince, this humble one was blind and failed to recognize you. Please forgive me." Luo Tie stepped forward and offered an apology, but there was not much remorse on his face, and a hint of sarcasm hung at the corners of his mouth.
Shi Chuan Kong was furious, quickly scanned his surroundings, and then snorted coldly, ignoring the two of them and striding towards the city.
The Eighth Prince's strength was far above his, and the Third Prince's men had not yet arrived. To cause a ruckus now would only be more embarrassing.
Han Li's expression was calm, and he stepped forward to follow.
"Wait a moment." The Eighth Prince suddenly said.
"What else is there?" Shi Chuan Kong and Han Li stopped, the former asking impatiently.
Han Li seemed to have thought of something, his heart sinking, but his expression did not change at all.
"Thirteenth Brother, you can enter the city, but this True Immortal Realm cultivator has to come with us." The Eighth Prince looked at Han Li with ill intent and said so.
As he spoke, Luo Tie raised one hand, and the purple-armored soldiers next to him immediately surrounded Han Li, their cold, shining weapons pointing at all parts of Han Li's body.
Seeing this, a flash of anger appeared in Han Li's eyes.
"What are you doing? I've already said that this person is my bodyguard." Shi Chuan Kong was furious at the sight.
"Thirteenth Brother, Father Emperor ordered me to strengthen city defenses and strictly investigate all those entering and leaving the city. As a prince, although you have been away for so long, you are naturally fine. However, this person, although he is your bodyguard, is after all a person from the True Immortal Realm and needs to be thoroughly investigated to prevent him from plotting anything after entering the city. This is also for the safety of the entire capital. Thirteenth Brother is wise and will naturally understand, right?" The Eighth Prince had a smiling expression, but his tone was unquestionable.
"Eighth Brother, don't be too presumptuous!" Shi Chuan Kong was both ashamed and angry.
"Thirteenth Brother, this is my duty, so you should not interfere. Men, lock this person up and take him to the city defense camp. I will personally interrogate him." The Eighth Prince said coldly, then waved his hand.
"Swish," "swish," "swish," several thick purple chains flew out of the hands of several purple-armored soldiers, wrapping around Han Li's body.
A cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he raised his hand to do something, but his brow suddenly twitched. He seemed to have thought of something, lowered his arm, and allowed the chains to wrap around his body.
The Eighth Prince saw that Han Li had surrendered and a hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He had just seen the anger in this person's eyes and thought he would resist, so he could rightfully take this person down, beat him half to death, and humiliate Shi Chuan Kong in public.
Since this person had surrendered, he naturally couldn't act here.
But that was okay, once he was caught in the city defense camp, he would be in his hands, and he could make a big deal out of it.
"Take him away!" The Eighth Prince thought to himself, gave a cold order, and then turned to walk towards the city.
He took a few steps and suddenly felt something was wrong behind him, turned his head to look, and his expression immediately darkened.
He saw that the purple-armored soldiers were holding the chains, their faces red and their ears burning as they pulled with all their might, but Han Li's body seemed to be nailed to the ground, unmoving.
Shi Chuan Kong was about to intervene regardless of the consequences, but when he saw this scene, he was stunned and stopped.
The surrounding crowd was also stunned at the sight.
Seeing the embarrassment of the purple-armored soldiers whose faces were flushed red and were exerting all their strength, a few bursts of laughter came from somewhere in the crowd.
"What are you doing? Luo Tie, take this kid away!" The Eighth Prince's face instantly turned frosty, and he shouted.
"This subordinate obeys!"
Luo Tie immediately agreed, without looking at Shi Chuan Kong, he jumped forward, raised his hand and waved, and a purple chain that was several times thicker flew out of his hand and wrapped around Han Li.
Han Li did not dodge at all, allowing the chain to wrap around his body.
A triumphant smile flashed in Luo Tie's eyes, and the magic formula in his hand changed.
A flash of black light appeared on the chain, and black spots the size of copper coins appeared.
With a "chichi" sound, dense, thin black threads shot out from those black spots and quickly wrapped around Han Li's body, then tightened suddenly.
"Haha, arrogant kid, you've been entangled by my Black Essence Silk, and you can't use any of the immortal spiritual power in your body now, right?" Luo Tie laughed triumphantly.
The Eighth Prince's frosty expression softened slightly when he saw this scene, and he nodded slowly.
Han Li looked at the black silk on his body without showing any abnormality. Instead, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Come here!" Luo Tie suddenly pulled the chain in his hand.
With a "crash" sound, the purple chain in his hand instantly tightened, but the other end seemed to be tied to a pillar of heaven, and could not be pulled at all.
"How is this possible!" Luo Tie's face was filled with disbelief, and then he roared.
His whole body emitted a dark golden light, and his body swelled nearly twice its size. His skin also instantly turned bronze, and his feet "poof" sank half a foot into the ground, and he pulled the chain again.
The purple chain buzzed and trembled wildly, causing the nearby void to tremble.
Han Li still stood there quietly, unmoved no matter how hard Luo Tie tried.
The Eighth Prince's face was extremely ugly when he saw this scene.
After the surrounding crowd took a cold breath, they began to murmur and discuss. Most people looked at the Eighth Prince and others, pointing and pointing, their expressions full of disdain, but they did not dare to speak out because of the other party's identity.
The Demon Race valued martial arts, and even ordinary people were mostly good at physical cultivation. Most things were resolved by fighting, and heroes were judged by strength. Therefore, they were extremely dissatisfied that so many people could not do anything about a single Han Li.
"Haha, Eighth Brother, you want to take away my bodyguard, feel free to do so, but relying on this group of pus-filled subordinates may be a little difficult." Shi Chuan Kong had been squeezed and bullied since entering the city, and now he finally vented his anger and laughed loudly.
"Trash, all of you step back!" The Eighth Prince swayed and appeared in front of Luo Tie, waving his hand to grab all the purple chains in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice.
Luo Tie, and the purple-armored soldiers next to him, retreated to the side with shame on their faces.
"I didn't expect that you, a human, would have such a powerful physical body. In that case, I will also pull you and see if you can really remain unmoving like a mountain!" The Eighth Prince looked at Han Li and said lightly.
Han Li turned a deaf ear and still stood there with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed.
A flash of anger flashed in the Eighth Prince's eyes, and golden light flashed on his arms, and golden spots appeared, as many as thirty or forty.
"That's..." Han Li's eyes flashed.
Boom!
A dazzling golden light bloomed from the Eighth Prince's arms, instantly condensing into two golden giant arm phantoms tens of feet long, grasping the purple chains and pulling hard.
A terrifying force that suffocated people burst out from the two golden giant arms. The void within a radius of tens of feet instantly twisted, buzzing and trembling like a drum.
The surrounding onlookers changed their expressions drastically and retreated towards the back.
Shi Chuan Kong also took a few steps back, his face showing a look of concern.
Han Li raised his eyebrows, thirty-six star spots appeared between his chest and abdomen, and a thick light film appeared on the surface of his body. The black air that was originally wrapped around him instantly shattered inch by inch.
No matter how the nearby void twisted and the force surged, his whole person remained motionless.
A look of shock appeared in the Eighth Prince's eyes, and then he roared in a low voice, and the golden light on his chest and abdomen also flourished, with forty to fifty golden spots.
The two golden giant arms beside him shone brightly, instantly condensing into substance, and rapidly extending and growing. In a blink of an eye, they condensed into a huge golden demon god hundreds of feet tall.
The head of this demon god was a huge elephant head, with a long trunk almost reaching the ground. Two curved golden tusks grew beside his mouth. The huge body and bulging muscles gave people a sense of endless power.
The elephant-headed demon god looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and pulled the purple chain again with his arm.
When Han Li saw the scene in front of him, his expression changed slightly, and he waved his hands with a magic formula.
Purple-golden rays of light shone brightly on his body, and eight or nine True Spirit phantoms such as True Dragons, Colorful Phoenixes, and Giant Apes emerged from it. Each one emitted a terrifying wave of power, rotating around his body extremely fast, making terrible whimpering sounds.
Two towering forces collided suddenly, the ground trembled, and the nearby city walls shook rumblingly.
With a loud "crack"!
All the purple chains broke at the same time, and the Eighth Prince's body shook violently. He retreated three steps before barely stabilizing himself.
Han Li's body also swayed, but he immediately stabilized himself.
This scene made the surrounding onlookers gasp.
Obviously, no one would have expected that the Eighth Prince, who was invincible in their eyes, could not do anything to a mere human.
