Wang Yu
Chapter 248: A Final Strike Before Death
“Now that his essence blood is burning from the organs to the viscera, from the bones to the skin, it shouldn’t be long before he’s completely exhausted. We just need to wait patiently for another incense stick's time,” Lin Jiu said, relieved.
At this moment, Lin Shiqi, who had been lying motionless on the ground since earlier, suddenly twitched his fingers a few times and seemingly struggled to sit up from the ground.
The bloody flesh at the broken hole in his chest slowly wriggled, gradually fusing together.
“That was close, that was close. I almost bit the dust here…” After the flesh had completely grown back, he let out a long breath, patted his chest, which had been restored to its original state, and said with lingering fear.
Han Li and Lin Jiu exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of disdain in each other’s eyes. However, neither of them said anything, as this mission would soon be over, and there was no need to argue with him.
Lin Shiqi took in the current situation. His eyes darted around, and he didn’t immediately come to the two's side. Instead, his figure flashed to the ruins of the previous stone hall, searching through the rubble.
With a wave of his hand, he swept away a pile of messy stones and saw the pill furnace pressed underneath. He bent down and was about to reach out to pick it up.
“How dare you!”
Just then, the white-haired old man, who had been trapped in the Lock Dragon Staff Formation, seemed to see this scene. He suddenly raised his face to the sky and let out a deafening roar.
The formation around him, which had been extinguished and could summon eight fire dragons, suddenly flared up with runes. Blazing flames surged out, and eight scorching fire dragons suddenly burst out from it, heading straight for the white-haired old man.
Han Li and the others were shocked and quickly tried to stop him, but they were a step too late.
The eight fire dragons directly rushed into the old man’s abdomen. A flash of fire, and all of them disappeared.
The old man’s body was even redder, and the cracks on his skin seemed to have lava flowing through them, making him look extremely terrifying. His aura also soared again, forcibly breaking through the shackles and reaching the Golden Immortal level.
He stretched out his arms, wrapped the golden chains around his body, and yanked them back violently. The dozen or so Lock Dragon Staffs were immediately pulled out of the ground with a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds. The old man swung them and smashed them towards Han Li and the two.
The two glanced at each other, not daring to face them head-on, and quickly flew to the sides to dodge.
The white-haired old man took a step and came directly in front of Lin Shiqi, raising his fist to smash down on his head.
This step was inexplicably fast, as if the space between him and Lin Shiqi had been folded together, making it impossible for the latter to dodge. He could only raise his hands and wave a large flag with an earthy yellow light to block it, while a layer of white mist appeared on his body.
The earthy yellow flag was clearly not ordinary. It depicted a Bixi beast carrying a stone tablet, with its body radiating light, as if it were about to leap out of the flag, emitting an extremely thick earth attribute aura.
As soon as the flag was unfurled, the white-haired old man’s fist slammed heavily into the flag. The space within a dozen feet around suddenly collapsed, erupting with a faint golden light and rippling in waves.
However, when the fist touched the flag, there was not a single sound.
The seemingly weak flag was constantly bulging from the impact of the enormous force, but it resembled a continuous mountain range, and did not collapse directly.
However, after only a moment, cracks appeared all over the Bixi depicted on the flag, and it shattered directly.
Then, the entire flag also broke apart.
Lin Shiqi, who was below, took advantage of the gap to roll away, but he was still affected by the aftermath of the fist. The white light shield on his body shattered, and he spat out blood as he fell to the side.
The white-haired old man didn’t stop and chased after him like a teleport, punching down on his head again.
Everything happened too fast, and even if Han Li and the others wanted to save him, it was too late.
Lin Shiqi was even more miserable. If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to play dead for a while longer and wouldn’t have rushed to take the pill furnace.
In a panic, he quickly turned over, grabbed the ears of the golden pill furnace with both hands, and raised it high to block in front of him.
The white-haired old man’s fist smashed down, and just as it was about to hit the pill furnace, the golden light in his eyes flickered, and a hint of reluctance vaguely appeared on his face. He actually stopped forcibly.
Lin Shiqi closed his eyes tightly, his body drenched in cold sweat. He thought he was about to die, but the punch never came.
He carefully opened his eyes and saw that the white-haired old man’s body was completely damaged. But he was still holding the posture of punching him, motionless.
Among the cracks on his body, there were still scattered red lights shining, looking like the remaining embers in a burned-out fire. However, anyone could see that this body no longer had any vitality.
Han Li walked forward, looking at the old man’s remains, and felt a strange emotion in his heart.
He wondered, was the old man’s last strike because his essence blood and Nascent Soul were exhausted and he couldn’t swing it, or was it because of his obsession that he didn’t want to destroy the pill furnace?
Just as Han Li and the others had just breathed a sigh of relief, a faint golden light suddenly lit up in the depths of the white-haired old man’s seemingly lifeless eyes, like a last gleam of vitality, adding a trace of life force out of nowhere.
“Not good!” Han Li seemed to immediately notice something was wrong and exclaimed.
But before he could finish speaking, an unexpected change occurred!
The old man’s lips, which were almost charred, opened and closed a few times. Finally, he struggled to utter a word:
“Go.”
As soon as this word was spoken, the last golden light in the old man’s eyes was completely extinguished.
At the same time, a cyan talisman flew out of his sleeve like a cyan rainbow, instantly appearing in the void hundreds of feet away. Golden light flowed on its surface, and then countless tiny golden runes surged out from it.
It was actually a talisman written in Golden Seal Script!
In the next moment, ten thousand dazzling cyan lights bloomed from these runes and gathered and stirred in mid-air, turning into a cyan sea of light that was impossible to look at directly. The entire void emitted a muffled thunderous roar, and then the valley was instantly covered with dark clouds above and pitch black below.
In the blink of an eye, the world seemed to have only this sea of light left.
The heaven and earth spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand miles surged towards the valley from all directions like a tide,汇入this sea of light, causing the cyan glow on its surface to fluctuate and roll like滔滔 waves.
At the center of the sea of light, faint cyan light threads窜 out from it. After a period of weaving and entanglement, they condensed into a solemn-looking cyan figure wearing armor.
All of this takes a long time to describe, but from the time the talisman flew out until now, it hasn’t even been an息!
As soon as the cyan figure appeared, it turned its gaze and glanced at the white-haired old man’s body on the ground, then showed a look of anger and split out with a single hand.
Boom!
A cyan light emerged from its palm, then split into three, transforming into three slender cyan threads that flew towards Han Li and the others at an incredible speed.
Where the cyan threads passed, the void became hazy and blurred, even twisted and deformed.
A bizarre scene appeared!
Dense spots of cyan light gathered from all directions, apparently from the flowers, plants, and trees that covered the mountains and fields of the entire valley. As the cyan light flew out from them, those plants also withered as if they had lost their vitality.
Those spots of cyan light were like clay oxen entering the sea,缠绕towards the three cyan threads, instantly transforming into three fist-sized cyan light spheres. Countless cyan runes danced on the surface, emitting an earth-shattering and world-destroying intense wave of law!
Where the light spheres passed, the void twisted and trembled wildly, and strange fluctuations arose, revealing white, hazy cracks that rose and fell, and from which came terrifying suction, as if it would collapse at any time.
Han Li’s heart trembled, and the silver flying sword in his hand shot out immediately. Under the brilliant sword light on the surface, it transformed into a huge silver sword light, intercepting the cyan light sphere.
As soon as they came into contact, with a crisp sound, the silver sword light was actually vulnerable and easily cut in two, revealing the two broken bodies of the silver flying sword, flying to both sides, losing all spiritual energy.
The cyan light sphere’s speed did not decrease but increased, instantly catching up with Han Li and slamming down heavily.
Although Han Li was shocked, he was not chaotic. A semi-transparent film appeared on his body, and with a wave of both hands, dazzling black water light appeared, and the Heavy Water True Wheel appeared, suddenly expanding dozens of times, like a huge shield blocking in front of him. Black air swirled on the surface, and dense runes flew out as well.
The cyan light sphere crashed down,斩in the Heavy Water True Wheel.
With a deafening roar of “轰”!
Han Li only felt an irresistible surge of force coming, his body shook violently, and he, along with the Heavy Water True Wheel, was knocked away, flying out thousands of feet before勉强stopping.
Over the years, Han Li has continuously poured heavy water containing the law of water into the Heavy Water True Wheel. Not only is its weight no less than that of several giant mountains, but the power of the law of water contained in it has also formed a small climate, which is already no less than a low-grade acquired immortal artifact.
Although the cyan light sphere震飞Han Li, it also shattered, turning into countless scattered cyan lights.
But a trace of horror flashed through Han Li’s heart.
The power of this cyan light sphere was too terrifying, far exceeding the True Immortal late stage experts he had encountered before.
With a thought in his heart, he looked at the Heavy Water True Wheel in front of him again.
He saw that there was a shallow mark on the surface of the true wheel, and it seemed that its spirituality had been damaged. Han Li felt a pang of pain and quickly injected immortal spiritual power into it.
The water Dao patterns on the true wheel flashed, and black water light flowed on the true wheel, and the mark quickly disappeared. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
On the other side, although Lin Jiu and Lin Shiqi were also hit and flew out, after all, their cultivation was higher than Han Li’s. Under their respective spells and the activation of magic weapons, they barely blocked the blow of the cyan light sphere and did not seem to be too badly injured.
Lin Shiqi祭out a turtle shell-shaped shield in front of him, with a lifelike dragon-headed turtle body monster engraved on the surface. With the flashing spiritual light, it also looked like an extremely extraordinary treasure.
It’s just that there was also a clear and audible mark blasted out on this shield, causing Lin Shiqi’s eyes to twitch, full of regret.
The golden flying sword in Lin Jiu’s hand was gone. He didn’t know if it was damaged and put away like Han Li’s silver flying sword. He had a golden millstone floating in front of him, which was unknown what magic weapon. Countless small gold lines appeared on the surface of the millstone, giving people a feeling of heaviness like a mountain.
His gaze fell on the Heavy Water True Wheel in front of Han Li, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. The next expression returned to normal, and he withdrew his gaze indifferently.
Although Lin Jiu’s expression changed only for a moment, Han Li still敏锐captured it, and his heart moved involuntarily.
Seeing Lin Jiu’s reaction, had he seen his Heavy Water True Wheel before?
Han Li’s thoughts turned quickly in his heart, and his vigilance towards Lin Jiu deepened unconsciously.
