Wang Yu
Chapter 15: A Disagreement
This cyan stone slab was none other than the strange slab he had obtained from Leng Yan Old Ancestor back then, the one that contained the upper part of the Great Zhou Celestial Origin Technique.
All the spiritual patterns on the surface of the slab suddenly lit up, radiating dazzling starlight, like a miniature nebula. As soon as it flew out, it seemed to be summoned by something and flew towards the starlight barrier in the distance.
This item was quite precious, and it had triggered such an anomaly, so it was obviously extraordinary. How could Han Li just watch it fly away? He immediately stretched out a hand, his five fingers spread, and grabbed it.
The surface of the cyan stone slab was immediately filled with chaotic starlight, emitting bursts of "buzzing" vibrations, trying to break free.
Han Li glanced at his own arm, which was also shaking violently, and his expression changed slightly. The power of this stone slab's vibration was unusually strong. If it weren't for his powerful physical strength, an ordinary True Immortal cultivator might not be able to hold it.
However, as he was slightly distracted, the operation of the surrounding concealment technique immediately slowed down, and his figure faintly appeared.
"Who's there!"
Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan had already noticed something was wrong. Seeing two blurry figures suddenly appear, they immediately made hand seals, stopped urging the five-colored light pillar, turned to face Han Li, and shouted in unison.
Seeing the menacing aura of Leng Yan Old Ancestor and Xiong Shan, Lu Yuqing's pretty face changed slightly, and she subconsciously took two steps back, her eyes involuntarily looking at Han Li.
Han Li frowned slightly and waved his hand without hesitation to dispel the concealment technique, revealing their figures.
"If I remember correctly, the two of you entered the Immortal Mansion with the True Flame Sect, right? Why are you following us so sneakily?" Xiong Shan sized up Han Li and Lu Yuqing, who had suddenly appeared, and asked in a deep voice.
"This… this stone slab, you are… Fellow Daoist Han!" Leng Yan Old Ancestor's eyes fell on the cyan stone slab in Han Li's hand, and he exclaimed.
"Fellow Daoist Leng Yan, long time no see." Han Li smiled faintly.
As he spoke, he made a hand seal, and a flash of cyan light appeared in both hands. Countless cyan runes emerged and then gathered on the cyan stone slab, instantly forming a seal.
The light emitted by the cyan stone slab suddenly weakened greatly, and it no longer vibrated.
Han Li took out a few more talismans and slowly stuck them on the stone slab.
Only then did the light on the stone slab completely dissipate, and it became quiet.
He breathed a sigh of relief and put the stone slab away.
"Fellow Daoist Han? Does Fellow Daoist Leng Yan know this person?" Xiong Shan looked at Leng Yan Old Ancestor with a suspicious expression and asked.
"Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand. We just met a few times. I didn't expect to meet him here." A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Leng Yan Old Ancestor's face, and he said.
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing frowned slightly and looked at Han Li.
"Even if you are old acquaintances, it's impolite to follow us all the way without saying hello!" Xiong Shan's expression did not ease at all, and he said coldly.
"We two just happened to see you two fellow Daoists rushing on your way earlier, and we followed out of curiosity. I didn't expect you two to know the whereabouts of this Netherfrost Palace. This palace is so big, I believe you two wouldn't mind if we joined in the fun, right?" Han Li said with a smile.
As he spoke, he casually made a hand seal and pointed.
The Azure鸢 Flying Boat under his feet shrank rapidly and soon turned into a palm-sized object, flying into his sleeve.
At the same time, he raised his hand, and a stream of cyan light flew out from his sleeve, wrapping around Lu Yuqing and landing her not far in front of Xiong Shan and Leng Yan Old Ancestor.
Hearing Han Li's words, Leng Yan Old Ancestor's face changed, and he couldn't help but look at Xiong Shan.
He had already experienced Han Li's strength at the Holy Puppet Gate, and he knew he was no match for him. Unless he was forced to, he didn't want to fight him again.
Xiong Shan's expression also sank, and cold light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly shouted, "If you want the treasures in this Netherfrost Palace, then let me see if you have what it takes!"
Before he finished speaking, his robe bulged, and golden light suddenly burst forth from his body. Thick golden sword qi flew out from his body, like countless flower branches blooming at the same time, converging into a torrent of sword qi that swept towards Han Li, with an extremely astonishing momentum.
At this time, each sword qi had grown from a foot in length to nearly ten zhang in length, emitting a dazzling golden light. Dozens of sword qi faintly condensed into a golden lotus flower, spinning and covering Han Li's head.
Before the sword qi lotus flower arrived, the incomparably sharp sword intent had already crashed down, enveloping Han Li and Lu Yuqing.
Before the sword lotus had really fallen, Han Li felt a burst of stinging pain all over his body. Under a dazzling golden light, he couldn't help but have some kind of illusion, as if he had already seen himself pierced by ten thousand swords, blood splattering on the spot.
His heart trembled, and some kind of secret technique in his mind unconsciously began to operate. The vast power of divine sense circulated, and the illusion in front of him immediately disappeared.
However, Lu Yuqing, who was beside him, now showed a look of extreme fear on her face, her eyes were empty and dull, as if her mind had been completely suppressed by the incomparably sharp sword intent, and all will to fight had been lost.
Han Li frowned slightly, his figure swayed, and he stood in front of Lu Yuqing. Ten stars of light appeared on his chest and abdomen, and his whole body suddenly grew taller. Without saying a word, he punched out into the void.
An indescribable force emerged, and the void twisted and blurred wherever it passed, rippling with visible ripples.
The descending golden sword lotus trembled violently and stagnated in mid-air. Then, it shattered inch by inch and turned into countless golden spiritual light, scattering.
The sword lotus collapsed, and the huge sword intent also dissipated. Lu Yuqing's body trembled, and she gasped for breath, but her consciousness finally recovered.
Although her soul had been suppressed by the sword intent just now, and her body could not move, her eyesight had not been lost. She could still see clearly what was happening around her.
Lu Yuqing secretly cried out in danger, and a trace of complexity appeared in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Han Li's back.
The terrifying force carried by Han Li's punch only paused slightly, and then continued to surge out, blasting towards Xiong Shan with overwhelming force.
Looking at the starlight-flashing fist in front of him, Xiong Shan only felt the surrounding void tighten and his body tighten. The surrounding air instantly became incomparably solid, as if it had turned into steel.
"This is… Great Zhou Celestial Origin Technique!" Xiong Shan's face changed several times, and he let out a low shout. He made a sword seal with one hand, and with a flash of golden light, the golden long sword emerged.
With the golden sword in hand, the golden sword light around him suddenly became even stronger, and the momentum of the entire person quickly climbed, becoming incomparably sharp.
With a thunderous roar in his mouth, he moved his wrist, and the golden long sword turned sharply.
"Chichichi" sounds rang out!
Several huge golden sword qi flew out in an intertwined manner, slashing towards the surroundings at a rapid speed, instantly cutting open the invisible force around him.
The next moment, he chanted incantations, and the golden long sword flew out, emitting an incomparably dazzling golden light, with countless golden runes rolling within.
A golden giant sword several hundred zhang in size emerged, exuding strong golden attribute law fluctuations, and then slashed out fiercely into the void.
The sound of wind and thunder was loud!
The golden giant sword struck the force of the fist, making an earth-shattering loud noise.
The sword light and fist force held each other there, seemingly evenly matched for a while. Sword qi and fist force continued to spread around, crisscrossing, causing the nearby void to tremble.
Xiong Shan narrowed his eyes, and a faint, undetectable strange color flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, the void behind Han Li fluctuated, and a golden banner emerged out of thin air.
The banner was golden all over, with golden rays of light flashing on it. Countless runes were looming, exuding bursts of golden attribute law fluctuations.
As soon as the golden banner appeared, it trembled, and the banner surface bloomed with ten thousand golden rays.
Chichichi!
Countless golden filaments shot out from above, striking Han Li's unguarded back with extreme speed.
Lu Yuqing's pretty face changed greatly, but the golden threads were too fast, and she couldn't react in time. The golden threads had already appeared beside her and Han Li, and it seemed that they were about to pierce through them.
At this moment, starlight flashed on Han Li's body.
Seven star rings emerged from his body, which were the Seven Luminaries Star Rings. As the spiritual light flashed, they faintly formed the Big Dipper formation, blocking behind them.
A large amount of dazzling starlight poured out from the Seven Luminaries Star Rings, instantly condensing into a thick wall of light.
The sound of countless rain hitting plantain leaves rang out!
The light wall trembled for a while, and countless holes were pierced on its surface, but it blocked all the golden light threads.
This scene made Xiong Shan's eyes twitch slightly.
At this moment, another loud noise came from mid-air!
The fist force and giant sword, which were originally evenly matched, now had a result.
Xiong Shan's golden giant sword spun and flew back, and the turbulent fist force also exploded and dissipated.
All of this took a long time to describe, but in reality, the two exchanged blows like lightning and flint.
Han Li stood firmly in place, looking calm and composed.
Xiong Shan staggered and took two steps back before standing firm.
He made a hand seal and pointed, and the golden giant sword shrank by nearly half, hovering and flying above his head.
Xiong Shan ignored the giant sword and stared at Han Li, as well as the Seven Luminaries Star Rings behind him.
"You…" A look of disbelief appeared on his face.
The timing of the Seven Luminaries Star Rings' appearance was too coincidental, as if he had foreseen it, and resolved his once invincible killing move into nothingness.
"Since you knew I was hiding aside long ago, did you think I didn't notice that you secretly released this golden banner while breaking the restriction, hiding it in mid-air?" Han Li smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Xiong Shan's face sank again, and he made a hand seal again and pointed.
The golden banner disappeared from the spot in a blur, and appeared behind him the next moment.
"I just don't know if Fellow Daoist released this golden banner to deal with unknown dangers, or to deal with someone with this treasure…" Han Li said with a smile that was not a smile, and glanced meaningfully at Leng Yan Old Ancestor not far away.
Leng Yan Old Ancestor was stunned, and the next moment his face suddenly became extremely ugly. His body swayed and flew to a hundred zhang away, far away from Xiong Shan.
