Wang Yu
Chapter 963: Not Simple
The gap between them was simply too obvious. Even with the combined strength of the three, they were no match for Shao Ying. Moreover, Elder Hu had carelessly lost his life first.
Seeing Shao Ying approaching, Shi Chuan'kong had no choice but to retreat a step. The purple-black long staff in his hand was rapidly swung, creating a great whooshing sound.
A hazy array of staff shadows, like a tightly woven defensive net, enveloped Shao Ying.
The latter simply extended one arm, his bone claws instantly erupting with a powerful starlight, directly sweeping away most of the staff shadows. His other arm slashed horizontally towards Shi Chuan'kong's waist.
If this strike succeeded, Shi Chuan'kong would inevitably suffer the same fate as Elder Hu, torn in two!
Seeing this, Han Li was about to make a move when he saw Fang Chan's figure already crashing in from the side.
A scheming smile appeared on the corner of Shao Ying's mouth. His figure stopped, and he directly abandoned Shi Chuan'kong, dodging away from Fang Chan.
As Fang Chan brushed past him, Shao Ying suddenly raised a palm, the Mysterious Apertures on his arm shining brightly, and the bone claws on his hand also bloomed with a brilliant starlight, striking Fang Chan's back.
With a muffled "bang."
A patch of bright starlight immediately exploded on the pig-faced youth's back. A tsunami-like force surged out from within, directly blasting his back into a bloody mess and sending his entire body flying.
Fang Chan's massive body couldn't stop its momentum, directly breaking the stone railing at the edge of the altar and falling into the dark abyss below.
Seeing this scene, Shi Chuan'kong's expression suddenly changed. He wanted to help, but it was already too late.
"Don't worry, you're next." Shao Ying turned his head to look at him, saying with a smile.
With that, he crossed his hands in front of him, the two bone claws intersecting, making a clanging sound.
Shi Chuan'kong frowned, glanced in the direction of the back hall, and his gaze suddenly flickered slightly. He gripped the purple-black long staff in both hands, and slowly said:
"Bring it on."
Shao Ying chuckled, the Mysterious Apertures on his legs suddenly lit up. His toes stepped on the ground, and his figure shot out, the speed even faster than before.
In the blink of an eye, his figure arrived in front of Shi Chuan'kong. The starlight on the star apertures on both bone claws shone brightly, and they suddenly thrust forward, directly piercing towards Shi Chuan'kong's chest.
Shi Chuan'kong's reaction was also extremely fast. He held the staff horizontally, first separating the bone claws, and then suddenly twisted the staff body, twisting both bone claws along with it, directly twisting Shao Ying's body in mid-air.
He raised his toes, a bright white light on his legs, wrapped in wind and thunder, and kicked towards his heart with great force.
Shao Ying's body made a booming sound, and the starlight in the Mysterious Apertures surged out. His body trembled in the void, and his entire person flew over Shi Chuan'kong's head, flinging the purple-black long staff forward with his claws.
Shi Chuan'kong was immediately pulled by a great force, and involuntarily crashed forward.
Before he could land, Shao Ying's figure had already caught up.
The difference in speed between the two was too great. Shi Chuan'kong had no time to defend, and was caught up by Shao Ying. One claw pierced his chest, directly nailing him to the ground.
"Cough..." Shi Chuan'kong coughed dryly, and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.
Just as he struggled to get up, the other arm was also pierced by another bone claw with a "chi" sound.
Shao Ying looked down at Shi Chuan'kong, who was nailed to the ground, and said with a sneer: "If the City Lord didn't have great use for you, you would have died countless times already."
Unexpectedly, Shi Chuan'kong also laughed, saying somewhat miserably: "Hehe, actually I know..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly flipped upside down, his legs reaching up and clamping tightly around Shao Ying's neck.
Shao Ying was startled and suspicious. Just as he was about to break free, his expression suddenly changed.
A figure flashed out from the shadows of the back hall, its speed unbelievably fast. It arrived behind him almost instantly, holding a white bone scimitar and slashing down towards his neck.
This person was none other than Han Li, who had been hiding for a long time.
As the crisis descended, Shao Ying struggled desperately. However, Shi Chuan'kong was also determined to die, and refused to loosen his legs. His bone claws were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't retract them in time.
Just as Han Li was about to end his life with a single blow, a cold light suddenly flashed in Shao Ying's eyes. The clothes on his back were torn open with a "chi-la" sound, and two sharp, knife-like bone wings suddenly protruded from within.
Tens of Mysterious Apertures on them shone brightly, and the sharp edges flashed with white light, directly slashing towards Han Li.
Han Li's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he actually retracted his knife and retreated backwards.
The bone wings swept across, and a twisted crack immediately appeared in the void.
Shao Ying shook his shoulders, and starlight erupted, directly shaking off Shi Chuan'kong's legs.
He raised his hand to pull out the bone claws that had pierced his arms, straightened up, spread his bone wings, flew into the air, and looked down at Han Li coldly.
"Boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Shao Ying said with a smile.
Han Li first glanced at Shi Chuan'kong, and seeing that his life was not in danger, he then looked at Shao Ying, answering irrelevantly:
"Are those bone wings on your back, or Star Tools?"
Shao Ying snorted coldly, and did not answer. He simply spread his wings and immediately swooped down from the high sky.
As he approached, his bone claws thrust out straight.
Han Li frowned slightly, and actually did not dodge at all. After taking a step back, the white bone scimitar in his hand suddenly swept upwards from the lower diagonal, slashing towards Shao Ying.
The moment Shao Ying's two bone claws came into contact with the white bone scimitar, they suddenly bent and grabbed the blade. The two bone wings on his back immediately wrapped around, slashing towards Han Li.
Han Li was restrained in front and pursued from behind, but he was not flustered at all.
His body leaned forward, and the hand holding the knife suddenly loosened, allowing Shao Ying to snatch the knife.
Clenching a fist, he circulated the Da Li Jingang Jue, white light swirling on his arm, and slammed it down towards Shao Ying's chest.
This close-range, single punch was extremely fast, and to a certain extent, it widened the distance between him and the bone wings. It actually hit his chest first, making a loud bang.
Shao Ying felt as if his heart had stopped beating for several breaths, and his chest was muffled. Then, a tsunami-like force crashed over him. He groaned and flew backwards.
However, as he flew away, he still used his wings to slash across Han Li's back.
The skin on Han Li's back was immediately torn open, blood flowing like a waterfall, and a section of white spine was exposed.
However, he seemed completely unaware, and took advantage of Shao Ying's momentum to pursue him, circulating the Yu Hua Feisheng Gong.
Thus, almost the same scene that Shao Ying had used to deal with Shi Chuan'kong appeared.
Before he could land, Han Li caught up and punched him in the chest.
However, Shao Ying's speed was much faster than Shi Chuan'kong's. He had already retracted his arms, and crossed them in front of his chest to block Han Li's fist.
"Bang..."
Shao Ying's body slammed heavily into the edge of the altar, causing the entire altar to tremble violently.
E Kui looked towards this side, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Was this human so strong?
Shao Ying spat out a mouthful of blood, and quickly waved his bone wings to block in front of him, fearing that Han Li would continue to pursue him.
As a result, he realized that his bone wings had missed.
For some reason, Han Li did not take the opportunity to attack continuously?
Just as he was puzzled, the corner of his eye caught sight of a leaf-shaped jade pendant that had appeared out of nowhere on his chest where the blood had stained. Han Li had already retreated to a place far away from him, pinching a strange magic formula with a smiling face, and seemed to be chanting something.
Shao Ying was shocked in his heart. Just as he was about to act, it was too late.
The jade pendant stained with his blood had its surface covered with fine veins that lit up one after another. A dazzling light bloomed from within. The air in the void around him suddenly shrank, solidifying around him. Then, a white sun rose up.
"Rumble..."
A violent explosion rang out, and a cluster of blazing white light suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of white smoke that rose up.
A violent airwave surged in all directions. Half of the altar cliff collapsed in a large cloud of smoke, sliding towards the abyss with a "crashing" sound.
The barrier of the Weeping Blood Great Array was constantly blown and rolled by the wind and airwaves, trembling violently. The blood-colored light on it melted rapidly, and it seemed that it was about to be unable to support it.
E Kui's expression changed. He quickly pinched a magic formula, continuously transmitting the power he obtained from the blood array to help the array resist the terrifying impact brought by the Bursting Void Talisman.
It was not until a dozen breaths later that this fluctuation gradually slowed down and slowly stopped.
Half of the altar was completely destroyed. The other half, protected by the blood array, was spared and not much affected.
Several huge holes were opened in the roof of the main hall. Vaguely, a large cloud of yellow could be seen gathering in the extremely deep sky above.
This sudden change caught almost everyone present off guard.
Zhu Ziyuan had just forced Duan Tong back with a punch, and instinctively sensed that something was wrong here. He immediately flashed to Xuan Yuanxing, pushed him back with a palm, grabbed Zhu Ziqing's arm, and pulled her back quickly, arriving beside Madam Six Flowers.
Xuan Yuanxing did not chase after them, but retreated and merged with Han Li, who was coming towards this side.
Everyone was spared from the impact of the Bursting Void Talisman. Looking at the empty altar and Shao Ying, who had already been reduced to ashes, their expressions were extremely complex.
Madam Six Flowers was the first to recognize what the jade pendant was, so her gaze towards Han Li became even more complex.
Not far away, the black mist on Duan Tong's body had largely dissipated. The rune light on his exposed body had become very dim. He looked much thinner, and only his Transcendent Right Arm remained as it was.
He refined the Corpse Poison into his Transcendent Arm, and enhanced his attack power for a period of time by consuming the power of his body. This was originally a consumption method of spending tomorrow's money today, and could only gain an advantage at the beginning.
After Zhu Ziyuan discovered this, the life-and-death struggle between the two turned into a protracted war of attrition. Over time, Duan Tong naturally began to fall into the disadvantage. If Han Li had not suddenly killed Shao Ying and frightened Zhu Ziyuan, he would not have been able to hold on for long.
He did not approach Han Li's side, and kept a sufficient distance from both sides, panting heavily.
Zhu Ziqing had many wounds on her body, but the injuries were not too serious. Standing beside her brother, she could not help but look at Han Li with amazement and said softly: "Brother, your vision is really good. This guy is really not simple..."
She did not have much affection for Elder Shao, who was gloomy all day long, so she did not think she should hate Han Li.
Zhu Ziyuan naturally knew that for them, Han Li's strength was definitely not a good thing, and his eyes were filled with more solemnity and apprehension.
