"You dare to show off with mere illusions!"

Han Li did not panic in the slightest. The giant ape he transformed into snorted coldly, and with a flick of its arm, the dark green giant sword swept out, carrying the momentum of swallowing a million troops.

A dazzling, sun-like dark green light suddenly bloomed, setting off a terrifying, explosive wave of air that swept out in all directions.

Wherever the air wave passed, all the surrounding illusions shattered like bubbles. The surrounding illusion changed, returning to the sky above the endless desolate forest.

However, two earthen yellow puppets now appeared on either side of the golden giant ape, only ten zhang away from the giant ape. They emanated a rich earthen yellow glow, interspersed with bursts of heavy Law fluctuations.

The two puppets suddenly swung their arms down, and two masses of earthen yellow light detached from their bodies and shot out, transforming into two earthen yellow dragons several hundred zhang long, which swiftly wrapped around the golden giant ape.

The two earthen yellow dragons were connected end to end, like two thick chains, firmly locking the golden giant ape's arms.

At that moment, the masked old man and a white-clad man wearing a mask appeared out of thin air in front of and behind the golden giant ape.

As soon as the masked old man appeared, he waved his hand, and the nine white flying swords flew out again, their surfaces blooming with flame-like platinum light, merging into one to form a platinum giant sword a hundred zhang in size.

The platinum giant sword let out a clear cry, danced wildly in the air, and instantly transformed into a huge white sword wheel, slashing towards the golden giant ape.

A vast Law emanated from the white sword wheel, even more powerful than the previous white sword dragon.

At the same time, a cyan-black light flew out from his body, transforming into a cyan-black strange hammer.

With a "boom!"

Clusters of cyan-black flames appeared on the strange hammer, emitting an extremely cold aura that swept towards where the golden giant ape was.

Almost at the same time, the middle-aged man in white waved his hand, and a jet-black wooden ruler flew out, transforming into a black giant ruler a hundred zhang long as it spun against the wind, pressing down towards the golden giant ape.

The surface of the black giant ruler was shrouded in black mist, pressing down like a towering giant peak. Before it even landed, the nearby space began to twist and deform, emitting a buzzing sound.

At the same time, the man opened his mouth and shot out a series of more than a dozen purple round beads.

Each purple round bead emitted a terrifying lightning aura, striking towards the giant ape.

Faced with this scene, the golden giant ape's expression remained unchanged. Golden light burst forth from its entire body, and purple-gold scales appeared on its surface. With a flash of purple-gold light under its ribs and on its shoulders, four thick arms grew out again, and two hideous heads also appeared on its shoulders, instantly transforming into a three-headed, six-armed purple-gold demon god.

The purple-gold demon god's two arms lightning-fastly seized the two earthen yellow dragons on its body and pulled with all its might.

An indescribable force erupted from the purple-gold demon god, and a roar echoed around it, with ripples appearing in the nearby void.

With a loud "bang!"

The two earthen yellow dragons were forcibly pulled down by the golden giant ape and burst apart, turning into a sky full of earthen yellow mist.

The spiritual patterns on the surface of the purple-gold demon god suddenly lit up, and the sea-like immortal spiritual power in its body surged wildly into the dark green giant sword in its hand. The silver runes on the giant sword wriggled like living creatures, suddenly blooming with several times their original light, and swept out horizontally around its body.

A mountain-like dark green sword light surged out, mixed with rolling Law fluctuations, rushing towards all directions like a raging tide, distorting the void wherever it passed.

Rumbling sounds exploded!

Whether it was the masked old man's two puppets, the white sword wheel, the cyan-black strange hammer, or the white-clad middle-aged man's black giant ruler, all were easily shaken away as if they were waves crashing against a reef when they touched the dark green sword light.

The purple lightning beads were swept by the dark green sword light and directly exploded, turning into purple light clusters, emitting a powerful lightning Law fluctuation.

But these purple light clusters were immediately submerged by the dark green sword light, swept away like autumn leaves.

The masked old man and the white-clad middle-aged man's bodies shook violently, and they were also sent flying, staggering back hundreds of zhang before barely stabilizing themselves.

Both of them had blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, and their eyes revealed an incredible look of shock.

The white-clad middle-aged man glared fiercely at the masked old man, then suddenly turned around and shot away into the distance, not even having time to retrieve the black giant ruler.

When the masked old man saw the white-clad middle-aged man's actions, he immediately turned and fled as well.

"Since you're both here, then stay," the purple-gold demon god sneered. Golden light burst forth from its body, and a golden wheel appeared behind it.

Countless golden ripples emerged from the wheel, instantly spreading to a range of thousands of zhang around, enveloping the masked old man and the white-clad middle-aged man within.

"You are Li..." The white-clad middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and endless regret and fear appeared in his eyes.

But before he could finish speaking, his body was covered by the golden ripples, his voice stopped abruptly, and everything froze there.

The masked old man was the same, fixed in place.

The purple-gold demon god looked at the dark green giant sword in its hand and nodded in satisfaction.

This sword contained a huge amount of Destruction Law power, and the weight of the sword itself was extremely heavy, making it quite suitable for use after the Nirvana Sacred Body transformation.

With a wave of its hands, its huge body rapidly shrank, and in an instant, it transformed into human form.

The dark green heavy sword also shrank, returning to its original size.

Han Li put away the heavy sword, turned his gaze, and looked at the two frozen figures.

He walked towards the white-clad middle-aged man, reached out and lifted the mask from his face, revealing the face of the pale-faced scholar from Cangliu Palace.

Han Li raised an eyebrow, then turned and walked to the masked old man, pulled down his veil, revealing a face with a grizzled beard, it was the black-bearded old man.

Han Li frowned slightly, waved his hand and grabbed the black-bearded old man's head, five points of dark light emerging from his fingertips, sinking into his mind.

Originally, the Nascent Souls of Golden Immortal cultivators were extremely solid, and their souls were tightly locked within, making it extremely difficult to search their souls. But within the True Words Treasure Wheel's area, everything became a thousand times slower, making it much easier to search their souls.

After a moment, Han Li released his hand, a look of understanding on his face.

The black-bearded old man's eyes bulged, but the light within them had not disappeared.

Seeing this, Han Li was about to flick his finger and annihilate the souls of the two men, but then his movements suddenly stopped, a look of contemplation on his face.

"Consider yourselves lucky," Han Li snorted and waved his hand.

Two red fireballs shot out, landing on the black-bearded old man and the other man.

Their bodies were quickly turned into ashes by the fireballs, leaving only two storage artifacts and two Nascent Souls floating in mid-air.

Han Li waved his hand, sending out a wave of azure light to pull over the two Nascent Souls. With another wave of his other hand, two purple talismans were attached to the foreheads of the Nascent Souls.

Purple runes immediately appeared on the purple talismans, firmly binding the two Nascent Souls.

Only then did Han Li nod and flip his hand to put away the two Nascent Souls.

After doing all this, he waved his sleeves again, sending out a wave of azure light to take away the two men's storage artifacts, as well as the surrounding immortal artifacts and the two puppets, before using an incantation to put away the True Words Treasure Wheel.

The golden ripples around him flashed and disappeared as well.

Han Li glanced in the direction of Guanlan City, quickly retracted his gaze, and was about to continue flying forward.

Just then, a clear burst of applause emerged.

"Haha, as expected of the Three Supreme Laws, truly powerful!" a voice also rang out.

"Who's there?" Han Li frowned and looked towards a certain spot.

The void there flashed, and two figures emerged, it was none other than Hu Yan Dao Ren and Yun Ni.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Yan, Fellow Daoist Yun Ni, so you are both safe and sound," when Han Li saw the two of them, a look of joy also appeared on his face, and he greeted them.

"Seeing you, Little Li, still hopping around, we are relieved," Hu Yan Dao Ren said with a chuckle.

"When did you two arrive here?" Han Li asked with a smile.

"Just arrived, and happened to see you showing off your divine power. It must be said that the five Golden Immortal Palace Masters of Cangliu Five Extremes Palace are all famous in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, but who would have thought that they wouldn't be able to withstand a few moves from you," Hu Yan Dao Ren praised with admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Yan, you flatter me. It's just that they didn't guess my identity and were caught off guard by me. If we were truly enemies, it wouldn't be so easy for me to defeat them," Han Li shook his head, speaking in a humble tone.

"Little Li, I'm really sorry for leaving you alone there to deal with that Gongshu Jiu and Mo Yu earlier!" Hu Yan Dao Ren looked at Han Li and said with some apology.

Although Yun Ni didn't speak, she also gave Han Li a salute, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.

"It was just the circumstances at the time, and now that we are all safe and sound, there's no need to mention this matter again. Fellow Daoist Hu Yan, you've always been straightforward, why are you being so fussy today?" Han Li waved his hand and laughed heartily.

"Good! Little Li, you've become much more unrestrained than before," Hu Yan Dao Ren was stunned, then laughed as well.

A few more smiles also appeared in Yun Ni's eyes.

The three of them smiled at each other, and there were no longer any grudges in their hearts.

"The Immortal Mansion of the Nether Cold is a place where nine out of ten die, and the fact that all three of us have passed through safely is something worth celebrating, we should have three big cups! Yun Ni doesn't like to drink, and she's been drinking alone these past few days, it's really boring," Hu Yan Dao Ren waved his hand, and a set of tables and chairs appeared in the void.

"Oh, you think it's boring to be with me?" Yun Ni's pretty face darkened, and she glanced at Hu Yan Dao Ren, her phoenix eyes murderous.

"This... of course not, I mean it's boring to drink alone, being with you is naturally very interesting! Hehe..." Hu Yan Dao Ren shrank his neck and chuckled twice.

Yun Ni snorted and turned her head, no longer paying attention to Hu Yan Dao Ren.

"Good! Today, we three are reunited after a catastrophe, we should have a good drink! As the saying goes, 'A pot of immortal wine brings joy to a reunion, how many things have happened in the Northern Cold, all are consigned to laughter!' (Quoting)" Han Li looked at the two of them, smiled, and sat down in his seat.

"Good one 'all are consigned to laughter,' delightful! No matter if the Immortal Domain is in great chaos in the future, or if the Cangliu Palace becomes dominant, today we'll first have a good drink and not return until we're drunk!" Hu Yan Dao Ren nodded repeatedly and sat down as well.

"Today, I'll give face to Fellow Daoist Li, otherwise..." Yun Ni glared at Hu Yan Dao Ren and sat down as well.

"Good brother, thank you for helping me out of this predicament," Hu Yan Dao Ren's voice rang in Han Li's ear.

Han Li didn't speak, but just winked at him.

In addition, Wang Yu will be going out for a trip these few days, so there will only be one update per day starting today, I hope all Fellow Daoists will forgive me ^^)
