Chapter 160 Gan Jiuzhen

Han Li slightly closed his eyes, formed hand seals with both hands, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

However, after only a moment, his eyes suddenly snapped open. A look of vigilance flashed across his face, and he reached out to grab the small bottle in front of him, putting it back into his bosom.

He stood up, his outward-projecting divine sense retracted, and his aura completely concealed. With a flash, he hid behind a willow tree nearby.

A moment later, a light figure swept over his head, speeding away into the distance, silently and without even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, as if it were an ordinary person passing by.

"Huh? How could it be her?"

A blue light flashed in Han Li's eyes as he scanned the red figure, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes.

The figure was none other than the woman in the red dress who had been teleported out of the Black Wind Sea with him earlier, and who had later joined the same team.

Seeing that this woman was not coming for him, Han Li had no intention of causing trouble. However, seeing that her escape speed was not fast, and that she seemed to be deliberately concealing her aura, making her seem somewhat furtive, a hint of vigilance arose in his heart.

"What does she want to do alone, so late at night?"

After pondering for a moment, he flipped his wrist, and a purple Taiyi Transformation Charm suddenly appeared between his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, a purple light shone from his fingertips, and his figure gradually became blurred, completely obscured.

Although his aura was concealed by the talisman, Han Li did not follow too closely, but rather trailed from a distance, keeping a distance of about several hundred feet from the woman in the red dress.

The latter was naturally completely unaware of this, and continued to fly forward non-stop. After an incense stick's worth of time, she flew straight out of the oasis.

Han Li also followed to the edge of the oasis, and seeing that she did not seem to have any ill intentions, but simply wanted to leave the caravan on her own, he relaxed slightly.

His figure paused slightly, hovering in the high sky, intending to return to the lakeside.

But just then, his brow suddenly twitched, and he saw a sudden burst of light in the night sky a thousand feet ahead, from which three huge shadows emerged out of nowhere, blocking the woman in the red dress.

Han Li's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the three huge shadows were actually three white snow toads as large as small mountains.

Each snow toad was as crystal clear as jade, with thick frost and snow covering its limbs and cheeks. The lower abdomen was even more directly a piece of bright ice crystals, which was particularly eye-catching in the night.

Han Li was slightly surprised in his heart. He wondered how these toads had hidden their enormous bodies before. Even with his powerful divine sense, he had not been able to detect them in advance.

"Gulu gulu... gulu gulu..."

Accompanied by a series of low croaking sounds, the huge mouths of the three snow toads opened from time to time, revealing half of a deep purple tongue, from which wisps of grimly cold air emerged.

And on top of the head of the snow toad in the center, stood two figures side by side.

One of them had snow-white skin and delicate features, and was wearing a tight-fitting robe. However, there was no undulation in the chest, and at first glance, it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. The other person beside him was obese, with a face full of横肉, and an ugly appearance.

"Gan Jiuzhen, do you still remember us two brothers?"

The delicate-looking person pinched his orchid fingers, pointed at the woman in the red dress from afar, and shouted in a shrill voice, but the voice revealed an unspeakable feminine flavor.

"Worthless rats that are neither male nor female, are you worthy of my remembrance?" The woman in the red dress frowned, snorted coldly, and said, her tone carrying a hint of undisguised disgust.

"You..." The effeminate man pointed at the woman in the red dress with one hand, his cheeks flushed red, as if he was too angry to speak.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know our names, just know that tomorrow is your death anniversary." The obese ugly man suddenly spoke, saying in a deep voice.

The woman in the red dress, named Gan Jiuzhen, seemed to think that these two were too long-winded. A trace of contempt flashed across her face hidden under the red纱, and without saying a word, she took the lead in attacking.

With a flick of her wrist, a scarlet bracelet worn on her fair wrist shone with scarlet light, as if it had suddenly come to life.

"Awoo..."

Accompanied by a soaring dragon roar, the scarlet bracelet lit up a ball of soaring fire, twisted and deformed directly, turning into a hundred-丈-long flame dragon, rushing out of the night sky and pouncing fiercely at the two.

The effeminate man's expression changed slightly, his lips moved slightly, and he bent down and gently patted the snow toad under him.

"Goo goo goo"

Only a series of low croaking sounds were heard continuously, and the three huge snow toads simultaneously opened their mouths and spewed out violently.

"Whirr"

Large pieces of crystal ice pillars continuously gushed out from their mouths, layering and piling up to form a huge ice mountain, pressing towards the fire dragon.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise!

The fire dragon slammed into the ice mountain.

Firelight splashed everywhere, and large pieces of ice crystals burst open directly, turning into countless crystal powder and scattering into the air. The flame dragon could no longer maintain its original form, turning into a sea of fire and colliding with the ice mountain.

For a time, firelight soared into the sky, ice shards flew, and a large amount of white water vapor rose at the intersection of the two, covering half of the sky.

Han Li watched from afar for a moment, and finally decided that it was better to have less trouble than more. His figure turned around and he was about to leave.

But just as he turned around, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual power fluctuation coming towards him.

His heart tightened, and he subconsciously folded his arms and blocked them in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he received a violent impact, and his whole body was smashed towards the woman in the red dress by an invisible force. His figure, which had been obscured by the Taiyi Transformation Charm, also reappeared.

In mid-air, he glanced around and saw that the void in front of him was rippling with light, and three huge figures reappeared, surprisingly three more white snow toads, almost exactly the same as the ones that had blocked the woman in the red dress, Gan Jiuzhen, before.

A bad premonition arose in his heart, and as he pondered, a green light flashed on his body, and he stabilized his figure not far from the woman in the red dress.

"Hehe, since you invited the helper, why are you hiding? If it wasn't for one of these treasures of mine being a golden-eyed variant, I really wouldn't have been able to find it." The effeminate man smiled charmingly and said.

Han Li then noticed that the snow toad under the two of them was indeed somewhat different from the others. A layer of white翳 covered the pupils, faintly revealing a few hints of golden yellow.

"I'm just passing by and don't intend to get involved in your affairs." Han Li glanced at the two and said indifferently.

Gan Jiuzhen, however, flicked her wrist at this time, and the sea of fire that had been deadlocked with the ice mountain suddenly retracted, turning back into a fire dragon and flying around her vigilantly.

She turned her head slightly, her eyes fixed on Han Li with a slight expression of suspicion, which soon turned into a look of vigilance, but she did not speak from beginning to end.

"Whether you are passing by or a helper, now that you have entered this Six-Toad Fire-Melting Formation, don't even think about getting out. Let's all die together! It's very lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs, and the two of you can keep each other company!" The obese ugly man said with a grin.

As soon as he finished speaking, the six snow toads surrounding Han Li and the others lit up with white light at the same time, and the void in the surrounding night sky fluctuated violently.

In the next moment, a huge silver-white crystal wall appeared out of thin air, trapping Han Li and the woman in the red dress in the center.

As soon as the crystal wall appeared, Han Li felt the surrounding temperature drop sharply, and a bone-chilling coldness constantly invaded.

At the same time, the sound of "crackling" continued to sound in the surrounding void, and hexagonal snowflakes began to appear, freezing even the air.

Seeing this, Han Li's face sank, and he activated a magic art in his heart.

A green light lit up around his body, and immortal spiritual power flowed out from his dantian, turning into a gentle force that covered his entire body, resisting the grim coldness like a cotton coat.

However, he soon discovered that this was of no avail.

The strange cold current actually contained strands of the power of law, which could easily break through his layer of immortal spiritual power, and although the True Extreme Membrane on his body could defend against heavy external blows, it was also of little use against this.

Just as Han Li realized that a wisp of cold was penetrating his skin and seeping into his dantian, and was about to summon the Essence Flame Firebird to resist it, a layer of crimson flames suddenly lit up on his body, instantly driving away the cold.

He shifted his gaze and saw that the woman in the red dress not far away was bathed in flames, and a line of fire was extending from her wrist, connecting with him.

And the aura that this woman had originally concealed was no longer concealed at this moment, reaching the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm!

"Fellow Daoist Liu, whether you were unintentionally passing by here before, or deliberately following me, I will ask you one sentence now: are you willing to join hands with me?" At this moment, Gan Jiuzhen's voice suddenly sounded in Han Li's ear.

"So, this Six-Toad Fire-Melting Formation is really a bit tricky?" Han Li frowned slightly and replied through voice transmission.

"An ice-attribute formation that can melt true fire, do you think it's tricky?" Gan Jiuzhen replied coldly.

As Han Li hesitated, he noticed that the crimson flames surrounding him were getting smaller and smaller, and the burning power emanating from them was gradually weakening.

"They set up this formation specifically to target me, and I may not be able to hold on for too long. Once they break through, and the cold enters my body, blocking my meridians and freezing my dantian, you and I will only become fish on the chopping board."

Gan Jiuzhen said as she tried her best to activate her immortal spiritual power, increasing the flames on herself and Han Li, her voice still as calm as ever, as if she was talking about a very ordinary matter.

"Okay, I'll join hands with you." Han Li replied after hearing this.

Just as the two of them formed an alliance, they heard the effeminate man's chanting again.

"Croak..."

The six snow toads opened their mouths at the same time, suddenly emitting a very piercing, shrill cry.

Their long tongues vibrated continuously in their throats, and streams of silver-white cold air immediately gushed out, turning into two walls of mist that pushed from both sides, merging into the crystal wall.

The sound of "crackling" resounded in the night sky, and the silver-white crystal wall became thicker and thicker, constantly approaching the center, squeezing the space of Han Li and the others, causing the air temperature inside to drop sharply. The ground was already a vast expanse of white.

Han Li could even see strands of cold air approaching his body with his naked eyes, constantly eroding the crimson flames on his body, and strands of bone-chilling coldness began to penetrate his body.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, if I do my best to help you resist the invasion of cold air, do you have a way to break this Fire-Melting Formation?" Gan Jiuzhen asked through voice transmission while urging the magic art in her hand to resist the cold air.
