Chapter 1110: Joining Forces Against the Five Elements

"Rather, it should be said that these Dao soldiers can borrow power from the Five Elements Altar to strengthen themselves," Han Li said.

As he spoke, the dazzling golden light had already receded, and the multicolored Dao soldiers surrounding them were brandishing their weapons and charging toward Han Li and the others.

Among them, the water-attribute and wood-attribute Dao soldiers charged toward the group of demons led by Qi Mozi.

Seeing this, Han Li's pupils constricted slightly.

Although the charge of these Dao soldiers seemed somewhat chaotic, it was actually based on variations of the earlier formation, appearing perfectly coordinated in offense and defense, leaving no flaw to exploit.

Lei Yuce and the others had clearly noticed this as well. With solemn expressions, they all activated their techniques and immortal artifacts, forming a defensive formation to prepare for battle.

"Leave the rest to you few."

On the other side, Qi Mozi spoke as his figure abruptly rose into the air, leaping over the group of demons. His sleeves billowed as golden light surged around him, and he actively charged toward the fire-attribute Dao soldiers.

As he made his move, he summoned a golden torch that hovered before him, seemingly intending to use the power of time law to immobilize those Dao soldiers.

However, he soon discovered that the time law power he released had no effect on these Dao soldiers.

Instead, Xiong Shan, who had been carefully following behind him, was caught by the blazing light emitted by the golden torch and froze in place, unable to move at all.

"Hmph, so that's it." Qi Mozi swept his gaze over the golden lamp on the altar and suddenly understood.

These Dao soldiers, able to borrow power from the altar, could naturally also borrow the power of the divine lamp to resist the influence of time law.

Qi Mozi then put away the golden torch, turned his wrist, and took out the black stone axe, slashing horizontally at the hundred-odd fire-armored Dao soldiers charging toward him.

Whoosh!

A dark light suddenly extended from the axe blade, sweeping in a crescent arc toward the oncoming fire-armored Dao soldiers.

Seeing this, those fire-armored Dao soldiers seemed to recognize the danger. They all halted their charge, rapidly altering their formation. The flames on their golden armor surged and connected with each other, merging into one, while the foremost Dao soldiers swung their blades in unison.

With a loud "boom,"

the void before the fire-armored Dao soldiers trembled, and a massive fire wall surged forth, burning like a raging tide as it advanced toward Qi Mozi.

Where the fire wall passed, the void twisted, and spatial vortices burned through by flames continuously formed.

Almost immediately, as the second wave of Dao soldiers raised their blades and swung in unison, a second fire wall formed and followed closely behind, then a third...

By the time the black axe shadow struck the first fire wall, over a dozen spatial vortices had already appeared around it.

Upon impact, a thunderous roar erupted. The first fire wall shattered on impact, and the axe shadow also burst apart, but the remaining force continued unabated, slashing toward the second and even the third fire wall.

Whether it was the residual flame fragments or the exploding black axe shadow, they were all swallowed by the spatial vortices, leaving nothing behind.

However, before the sounds here had completely faded, the black stone axe in Qi Mozi's hand had already transformed into a black whirlwind, enveloping his entire body. His figure then pierced through several fire walls, directly charging into the midst of the fire-armored Dao soldiers.

On the other side, Bai Gu, Tong Shi, and the other three demons, facing the oncoming wood-attribute Dao soldiers, involuntarily focused their gazes on the eagle-nosed demon.

"Arrange the formation, Second Brother. Remember, don't break it too early. Let them scout ahead first," the eagle-nosed demon said slowly, his arms crossed over his chest.

He seemed not to intend to act personally, instead letting the other four demons join forces to fight.

"Rest assured, Big Brother. Leave it to me," Bai Gu immediately said.

The other demons seemed accustomed to this and found nothing unusual.

"Brothers, it's been a while since we stretched our limbs. Today, let's use the Four Symbols Demon Attachment Formation to deal with them," Bai Gu said with a sinister grin, his eyes flashing.

"Good!"

"Just the thing to warm up!"

Tong Shi and the others responded in unison.

As the words fell, they charged forward. Rolling black smoke continuously emitted from their bodies, engulfing their forms. Though invisible, their ferocious aura surged a hundredfold in an instant.

Within the black smoke, the true forms of four ferocious beasts were faintly visible, with lightning and thunder crackling and flames flickering inside.

Among them, Tong Shi led, Bai Gu brought up the rear, and the other two demons stood on the left and right. They clearly shared an indescribable默契, and though their charge seemed independent, they were actually as one.

The charging wood-attribute Dao soldiers showed no fear. Green light surged on their bodies, and they suddenly thrust their weapons into the ground. The earth rumbled and shook violently.

The eagle-nosed demon frowned and looked down, only to see a layer of green light spread over the ground, followed by a slick layer of moss. Beneath it, thick vines and branches grew luxuriantly and burst out of the earth.

With a loud "boom," the ground beneath the demons cracked open. Countless green vines, like demonic tentacles, surged up from underground and stabbed into the Four Symbols Demon Attachment Formation, stirring up billowing black smoke and continuous rumbling within.

"Interesting. Then I'll play with you all."

The eagle-nosed demon muttered, extending his arms to both sides. A layer of black demonic flame suddenly enveloped him, and then, like an eagle, he leaped into the air, swooped down, and charged into the formation.

Just as Qi Mozi and the five demons were locked in battle with the Dao soldiers, the clash between Han Li's group and the remaining Dao soldiers also erupted almost simultaneously.

Lan Yuanzi and his sister fought against the Dao soldiers trailing liquid gold. Both of them shimmered with blue light, and their immortal spiritual power seemed to be linked through some secret technique.

As their four arms moved, endless torrents of water surged forth, constantly washing against the flowing gold liquid. White smoke rose from the contact, emitting a hallucinatory fragrance that stirred the soul.

At the same time, Lei Yuce, together with Wen Zhong and Su Qianxi, dealt with the stone giants, and the two sides were locked in a fierce stalemate.

Those stone Dao soldiers had no peculiar abilities, but their bodies were extremely sturdy and immensely powerful. With the support of their formation, they were as solid as iron. Every time they were defeated, they would recover their original form within a few breaths, as if they were immortal, making them quite troublesome.

Meanwhile, Han Li was currently joining forces with Jiao San and Hu San to deal with the Dao soldiers wielding golden spears.

These creatures' armor was no less sturdy than that of the stone Dao soldiers, and their spears were even more peculiar. Every time they thrust, the spiral golden light at the tip would densely shoot out like arrows.

Moreover, this golden light was extremely sharp, seemingly able to tear through the void. Even when Han Li kept a distance of over ten zhang from the Dao soldiers, the emitted golden light could instantly traverse to his vital points, making it impossible to guard against.

What was more troublesome was that these Dao soldiers appeared to have little intelligence, yet they cooperated with each other flawlessly, like a disciplined army. Every attack and movement was backed up by a follow-up, leaving Han Li and the other two frustrated.

Just then, Han Li suddenly shouted, "Careful!"

Hu San was startled and twisted his body sharply, barely dodging the dense golden light from two golden spears, but unexpectedly, a Dao soldier above leaped down and thrust a spear at him from above.

The spearhead flashed with golden light, and a mass of golden light rolled down densely. Although Hu San dodged, a "puff" sound came from his shoulder as a gash opened, and blood gushed out.

He glanced at the wound, saw it was not serious, and continued fighting the Dao soldiers.

However, not long after, he found that the wound on his shoulder not only failed to heal but also made his entire arm feel as heavy as lead.

Alarmed, he quickly called out to Han Li and Jiao San, then took out several pills and closed his eyes to regulate his breath. But moments later, he was horrified to find that even after taking healing pills, the wound still bled profusely.

Witnessing this, Han Li's heart stirred slightly. He turned his palm over and took out a yellow gourd, tilted the mouth downward, and silently recited an incantation.

A yellow cloud vortex appeared at the gourd's mouth, and yellow beans rolled out, landing and transforming into lightning-armored Dao soldiers that charged forward to engage the golden-armored Dao soldiers.

Han Li's Dao soldiers were far inferior in rank to the golden-armored ones and naturally could not match them, but they had the advantage of numbers. With Jiao San's cooperation, they could temporarily hold off the golden-armored Dao soldiers' assault.

"Don't panic, Fellow Daoist Hu San." Han Li, now temporarily free, immediately flashed to Hu San's side.

"This Dao soldier's golden light is truly strange. A small wound bleeds endlessly and makes my arm so heavy I can barely lift it. Even healing pills like Qingling Dan are ineffective," Hu San said with a frown.

Hearing this, Han Li frowned. He raised his hand, and a patch of golden light appeared in his palm, gently brushing over Hu San's wound.

As the golden light flashed, light gathered at the wound, and a small tree phantom emerged, emanating dense waves of time law power. It was none other than Han Li's Dongyi Divine Tree.

After this tree appeared, its shadowy roots penetrated Hu San's wound, and its branches swayed, rippling with layers of golden waves. A burning sensation then came from the wound.

Seeing this, Hu San let out a soft "eh" and was surprised to find that his arm no longer felt as heavy, and the bleeding from the wound seemed to have stopped.

"Time is short. I've only temporarily sealed the wound with time power, so it won't affect your movements for now. But later, you'll need to find another way to dispel this force," Han Li said quickly.

"That's enough. Thank you," Hu San nodded in gratitude.
