Chapter 1020 Counterattack

Lu Yun's words were still echoing when the flames and lightning in the square gradually subsided, and the figure of Dongfang Bai reappeared.

However, he was no longer the composed and confident man he had been before. He had transformed into a charred, coal-like husk, emitting plumes of black smoke.

Yet, this carbonized Dongfang Bai flickered with crimson sparks, while a ball of green light pulsed in his chest. Wisps of green radiance, like thin veins, spread throughout his body.

Wherever the green lines passed, a powerful life force surged, revitalizing his seemingly lifeless form, gradually restoring it.

At that moment, Han Li flashed forward, his hand forming a blade, slicing horizontally.

Dongfang Bai's charred head immediately rolled onto the ground with a "thump," turning into carbon dust under Han Li's foot.

Simultaneously, a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword emerged, piercing through the chest of the charred corpse. The golden electricity released shattered the emerald light into dust, scattering like fireflies.

Han Li stood with his sword, his face devoid of any relief, but rather with a furrowed brow as he looked at a spot not far from him with some doubt.

There, in the crack of a stone slab, grew an incredibly delicate wild grass, gently swaying in the wind.

Suddenly, a burst of green light erupted from it, and the grass began to grow rapidly. Its leaves unfurled, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a human form.

Its appearance and attire were none other than Dongfang Bai!

"The Law of Wood, quite interesting..." Han Li said with a slight glint in his eyes, smiling.

"Han Daoyou, I've seen enough of these petty tricks. It's about time to end this," Dongfang Bai said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his palm gently rubbed together, and the azure spiritual domain surrounding them suddenly shone brilliantly. Countless azure light spots appeared in the void within, and a Wood-attribute Law power that made Han Li's heart palpitate emanated from them.

Seeing this, Han Li's pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively retreated backward.

"Senluo… Wan… Xiang!" Dongfang Bai uttered softly, his voice sounding somewhat erratic.

In the void, thick branches of unknown origin emerged from the azure light curtain, extending and spreading into the void. Hundred-zhang giant trees rose from the ground, instantly overturning the entire Qingjing Sect Ancestral Hall.

This area, which was originally the bottom of a lake, was transformed in an instant, becoming a lush forest landscape.

The four Furious Diamond Guardians stationed around the small hill were entangled by rapidly growing vines and enveloped by spreading moss, quickly being buried and losing contact with Han Li.

On the other side, even Tihun, transformed into a Execution Beast, was entangled by special vines with golden patterns and trapped in place, struggling incessantly.

Although Han Li had retreated hundreds of zhang away when he realized something was wrong, his insteps were still covered by the ubiquitous moss, and he seemed to have turned into a plant, rooted to the ground, unable to move at all.

"I've seen many Creation Realm spiritual domains, but this one... is truly amazing," Han Li said, trapped in his predicament. He glanced at Tihun, seeing that she was trapped but temporarily unharmed, and his heart relaxed slightly.

"If the Palace Lord hadn't been so focused on painstakingly refining his spiritual domain, would he be only at the Taiyi Pinnacle Realm today? But then again, who in the entire Jinyuan Immortal Domain would dare to treat him as just a Taiyi Pinnacle cultivator?" Lu Yun said with a chuckle upon seeing this.

Tao Ji's expression changed again and again, and he became even more in awe of Dongfang Bai.

"Han Daoyou, in fact, whether you hand over that thing that doesn't belong to you or not, it doesn't make much of a difference," Dongfang Bai said with a smile as he slowly walked towards Han Li.

"I know that even without you saying it," Han Li said indifferently.

As he spoke, he secretly urged the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body, only to find that as soon as the Immortal Spiritual Power stirred, it was instantly absorbed by the golden-patterned vines wrapped around him.

At this moment, not to mention running a cultivation art, even the Mantra Treasure Wheel could not be summoned.

He clenched his fist secretly, and found that the power of the stars in his body would also be absorbed, but the speed was much slower.

"Don't waste your energy. Trapped within my spiritual domain, everything you have belongs to me. After I slowly drain your Immortal Spiritual Power, this ridiculously powerful physical body of yours will become nourishment for my spiritual domain. As for your nascent soul, it will become my servant, to be driven by me for all eternity," Dongfang Bai said as he approached, his smile growing more intense.

His gaze fell on Han Li's neck, and seeing the thin rope wrapped around it, he reached out to his chest under his clothes.

But at this moment, Han Li's voice suddenly rang out:

"You better not touch my things!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood light around his body suddenly intensified, and the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Art began to operate. His figure suddenly soared, and he immediately transformed into a three-headed, six-armed giant demon.

Dongfang Bai felt the strange aura emanating from his body, and his heart shuddered for no reason. He retreated violently.

As he distanced himself from Han Li, he pinched his fingers in a magic incantation, and countless vines in his spiritual domain surged towards Han Li, engulfing his entire body.

Han Li took a step forward, and the vines wrapped around his body snapped apart, unable to stop him at all.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bai waved his hands violently, and his spiritual domain vibrated violently. The cyan light on the towering ancient trees rippled, and they transformed into eighteen hundred-zhang-tall wooden armored giants, each holding a giant coiling dragon wooden spear, and charged towards Han Li.

These wooden armored giants all contained a rich Wood-attribute Law power. When they thrust out their coiling dragon wooden spears, a spiral of cyan light condensed on the tip of the spear, tearing the surrounding void and twisting it towards the tip of the spear.

Han Li waved his six arms, either clenching his fists or reaching out with his claws, without any fear. In just over a dozen breaths, he destroyed eight wooden armored giants, and his figure broke out of the encirclement, leaped high into the air, and smashed down towards Dongfang Bai.

However, at this time, Dongfang Bai had already stood still. His body was shining with cyan light, and countless cyan vines wrapped around him, gathering on his body and engulfing him, also transforming into a wooden armored giant tens of zhang tall.

However, his entire wooden armor was covered with golden patterns. In addition to containing an extremely rich Wood-attribute Law power, it was also filled with a rich life force.

Seeing Han Li smashing down from the air, he raised his left hand, and a golden-patterned long whip whistled out, wrapping around Han Li's waist. He pulled it down violently, and with his other hand he held a golden-patterned wooden spear, stabbing straight towards Han Li's heart.

Han Li's waist was bound, and he immediately felt the power of blood qi in his body like a river breaking its banks, pouring out frantically. If his physical strength were not truly amazing, he would have been unable to hold on.

He reached out in front of him with his dragon-claw giant hand, wanting to grab the golden-patterned wooden spear, but a ball of cyan light suddenly exploded on the tip of the spear. The power was far beyond imagination, and it directly shook his giant hand away, striking his chest.

There was a loud "boom"!

A vast and boundless Immortal Spiritual Power surged out from the golden-patterned wooden spear, blooming a dazzling cyan-golden light at the tip of the spear, and exploded.

A violent wave of air blasted out from it, spreading in all directions, directly impacting the entire spiritual domain, causing it to vibrate.

Lu Yun and Tao Ji watched this scene from afar, their hearts filled with horror.

Tihun, who was restrained by the golden-patterned vines, had most of the Immortal Spiritual Power in her body absorbed, and had returned to human form. Her small face was a little pale, and she looked at Han Li with some worry in her eyes.

However, when all the air waves dissipated, Han Li's figure stood motionless in place, his chest still bearing the golden-patterned wooden spear.

"This… how is this possible?" Dongfang Bai's heart tightened when he saw this.

"I heard that when fighting Palace Lord Dongfang, one cannot regard him as a Taiyi Pinnacle cultivator, but even if you have the power of a Grand Luo, so what?" Han Li's golden ape head said with a sneer, speaking human words.

His current body, when using the power of the bloodline and the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Art at the same time, is far stronger than ordinary Grand Luo cultivators. Although Dongfang Bai's spiritual domain is powerful, it is ultimately lacking in strength.

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, his figure tilted down, forcing the golden-patterned wooden spear to bend. He pulled up the golden-patterned rattan whip wrapped around his waist with one hand, and instead pulled Dongfang Bai over.

His six arms clenched his fists, and he rained down punches, densely hitting the wooden armored giant.

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of explosions continued to come, and the entire azure spiritual domain shook violently.

The cyan light on the wooden armored giant transformed by Dongfang Bai exploded, constantly blocking the falling of Han Li's heavy punches, but it could only barely block half of them, and soon it was smashed to pieces, with debris flying everywhere.

Lu Yun and Tao Ji looked at each other, and only fear remained in their eyes.

With their strength, they were not qualified to participate in such a battle. Just the punches that Han Li landed with all his physical strength were something they could not withstand.

After a while, Dongfang Bai's figure emerged from the broken wooden armored giant and was grabbed by Han Li.

"You shouldn't have, shouldn't have done such a terrible thing. That Qinghu City is just a small clan's place of reproduction and rest. Why didn't you let them go?" Han Li's three true spirit heads opened their mouths at the same time, their voices like yellow bells.

"So it's for those ants, they..."

"Pfft..."

Before Dongfang Bai could finish speaking, he was clenched into powder by Han Li's fist.

After waiting for a while, blood flowed out from Han Li's fingers, but no nascent soul flew out.

He threw the twisted and deformed corpse on the ground, and his figure gradually returned to normal. He frowned and looked towards Tao Ji and the two.

A cyan light surged on a green seedling next to the two, gradually growing larger and transforming into a human form, which was another Dongfang Bai.

As for the one at Han Li's feet, he had already been swallowed by the cyan vines, covered with moss, and merged into the ground.

"It seems that today is destined to be fruitless. It's impossible to take all the credit alone. Han Daoyou, we'll meet again." Dongfang Bai, who had reappeared in human form, said slowly with a gloomy expression.

"Want to leave? It's too late," Han Li snorted coldly and said.

As soon as the words fell, a layer of golden light instantly expanded, and a more dazzling golden spiritual domain emerged within the azure spiritual domain.
