Chapter 250: Trapped in a Desperate Situation

Faced with the simultaneous attacks from Han Li and the other two, the azure-armored giant's expression remained unchanged.

He chanted a spell, swung his arm, and the azure seal in his hand flew out, expanding nearly a hundredfold in a flash, meeting the thousand-zhang peak that came crashing down.

With a thunderous roar!

High in the sky, the azure seal shook violently, sank slightly, then stopped, holding back the descending thousand-zhang peak.

At the same time, the azure-armored giant clasped his hands before his chest, forming a strange hand seal.

A tangible azure light suddenly burst from his body, with countless azure runes tumbling within, spreading outward with a whoosh, quickly forming a green sea of light a thousand zhang in radius, shielding him tightly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Heavy Water True Wheel and the golden millstone arrived from left and right, slashing into the green sea of light.

The green sea of light churned violently, azure light flickered, and layers of azure ripples emerged around the giant, spreading outward in circles, stacked over a hundred layers deep.

The Heavy Water True Wheel spun rapidly, cutting into the azure ripples, breaking through fifty or sixty layers in a series of hissing sounds, but then stopped, unable to advance further.

The golden millstone on the other side charged more fiercely than the Heavy Water True Wheel, breaking through seventy or eighty layers of azure ripples before also stopping, still some two to three hundred zhang away from the azure-armored giant.

At that moment, the surrounding azure ripples swirled and surged around the two treasures, the True Wheel and the millstone, forming two massive whirlpools in the sea of light.

As the azure ripples coiled layer upon layer, the two treasures were quickly wrapped in two huge azure light spheres, immobilized.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Han Li and the others realized something was wrong, it was too late to recall the treasures, and they almost instinctively urged their techniques.

The Heavy Water True Wheel and the golden millstone simultaneously blazed with light, sending out streams of black water light and dazzling golden light to bombard the surroundings, trying to break free.

But the azure light spheres were extremely tough. Though they trembled continuously, as more azure ripples surged in, they showed no signs of breaking.

The azure-armored giant, however, ignored Han Li and the others for the moment. He raised one hand and struck a palm toward the thousand-zhang peak above his head.

Five azure light threads flew from his fingertips, intertwining into a slender azure sword aura, from which emanated intense law fluctuations.

Countless azure light dots emerged from the surrounding void, all merging into this azure sword aura, which flashed and slashed at the thousand-zhang peak above.

The thousand-zhang peak was cleaved in two like tofu, revealing Lin Shiqi's astonished face behind it.

The azure sword aura, with undiminished speed, continued to slash fiercely toward him, threatening to cut him in two.

In desperation, Lin Shiqi stomped the void, his whole body blazing with yellow light, transforming into a dazzling yellow mass that shot backward. Several treasures emerged within the yellow light, forming layers of shields around him.

No sooner had these protective shields formed than the azure sword aura arrived, curled, and plunged into them.

The several layers of seemingly unusual protective light screens disintegrated and dissolved upon contact with the azure sword aura, then scattered.

With a miserable scream, a rain of blood and an arm fell.

Lin Shiqi had sacrificed numerous treasures and talismans in one breath, barely escaping being killed by a single sword strike, but his left arm was severed at the shoulder, and his aura had weakened by more than half.

The next moment, he urged his technique with his other hand, and the blood gushing from the severed arm suddenly ignited. He transformed into a blazing blood light and shot into the distance at a speed several times faster than before.

Han Li and Lin Jiu, seeing this, changed expression.

The latter bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. His ten fingers flicked rapidly toward the blood.

The essence blood instantly turned into a blood mist, which vanished in a flash.

Then, the golden millstone trapped in the azure light sphere of the sea of light released a burst of gold and red light, like a two-colored sun. Gold and red flames emerged on its surface, burning through the surrounding azure ripples, and flew back into Lin Jiu's hand.

Lin Jiu's body flickered, transforming into a golden rainbow and fleeing in a different direction from Lin Shiqi.

Almost at the same time Lin Jiu cast his spell, the water dao patterns on the trapped Heavy Water True Wheel blazed with light, and crystal water blades reappeared on its edge. It spun and cut, tearing through the azure ripples, then flew back into Han Li's hand.

With a flash of silver light, he also transformed into a dazzling silver lightning bolt, shooting off in another direction, no slower than Lin Jiu.

The three, sensing trouble, simultaneously retreated and decisively fled in three directions.

Inside the silver lightning, Han Li's thoughts raced.

This azure-armored giant was indeed a Golden Immortal avatar. Though his current cultivation was not at the Golden Immortal level, his methods were bizarre. He had no confidence in blocking that azure sword aura condensed from law threads.

"Thinking of fleeing now? Too late!"

Seeing the three flee separately, the azure-armored giant showed no concern. He sneered, then suddenly raised both arms, his eyes flashing azure.

Hum!

The azure sea of light around him trembled and suddenly exploded, turning into countless beams of azure light shooting in all directions, vanishing into the void.

Rumble!

The void within ten thousand li suddenly churned violently. Countless azure light dots emerged like stars, blazing with dazzling azure light, connecting to form a massive azure domain spanning ten thousand li, enveloping Han Li and the other two.

Han Li felt his body tighten, the surrounding void suddenly becoming ten thousand times heavier, his escape speed slowing immeasurably.

The situation was the same for Lin Jiu and Lin Shiqi, their hearts sinking.

Han Li shouted softly, and the Heavy Water True Wheel flew above his head, spinning rapidly, with water blades emerging on its edge, slashing fiercely in all directions.

Boom!

The surrounding azure void churned violently, azure light flickered wildly, but quickly recovered.

Han Li's expression darkened. Before he could do anything, countless azure runes appeared around him, spinning rapidly around his body.

His vision blurred, and he vanished from his spot, reappearing less than two to three hundred zhang in front of the azure-armored giant.

Almost at the same time, with a flash of azure light, Lin Jiu and Lin Shiqi's figures appeared nearby.

"This... could this be a spirit domain?" Lin Shiqi, whose left arm had regrown but whose vitality was clearly depleted, said with some fear.

Lin Jiu was calmer, but after quickly scanning the surroundings, he remained silent.

"It shouldn't be a complete spirit domain; it seems like a domain mixed with some other techniques," Han Li said after a moment of uncertainty.

The surrounding azure space, like a spirit domain, completely isolated them from the outside, preventing them from drawing on any external natural energy. As a result, their strength could only exert less than half.

"You have some insight. If you had turned and fled from the start, I, in this avatar form, might not have been able to keep you. But now, all of you will stay and pay with your lives," the azure-armored giant sneered.

As his words fell, the nearby void rippled slightly, and countless house-sized azure thunderballs emerged, densely packed, then rained down on Han Li and the others like a storm.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu raised one hand.

The golden millstone flashed and blocked in front of him. At the same time, a hum sounded from within his body, golden light flickered around him, and countless golden sword shadows emerged, forming a sea of golden swords around him.

Half the sky was shrouded in fierce sword aura, surging toward the azure thunderballs.

Almost simultaneously, Han Li formed a hand seal, and the Heavy Water True Wheel blazed with black light, expanding several times in size, blocking in front of him.

Dazzling black water light shot out, forming a massive black water cloud seventy to eighty zhang thick.

The water dao patterns on the True Wheel emitted sky-blue light, and large blue water thunderbolts flew out from the black water cloud, roaring like thunder, heading toward the falling azure thunderballs.

On the other side, Lin Shiqi had already summoned a yellow gourd, hovering above his head.

As he chanted obscure incantations, crystalline runes appeared on the gourd's surface, which rapidly expanded to the size of a house. With a loud rumble, thousands of golden crystal sand grains sprayed out, shimmering brilliantly.

As soon as these crystal sand grains appeared, they multiplied and spread rapidly, forming a golden sand sea above, blocking in front of him.

Rumble!

Countless azure thunderballs struck the defensive measures of the three, exploding into patches of dazzling azure thunder light, surging toward them like a vast thunder ocean wave after wave.

Colors interweaved, producing earth-shattering explosions that shook the void.

Seeing this, Han Li and the others were alarmed.

Although each azure thunderball, imbued with wood attribute energy, had limited power, after each exploded, a new thunderball immediately formed in the azure light, seemingly inexhaustible.

The blue water thunderbolts from the Heavy Water True Wheel were quickly overwhelmed by the endless azure thunderballs. Clusters of azure thunderballs struck the black water cloud, wreaking havoc with azure thunder light.

The black water cloud trembled violently, patches of water cloud blasted away. The originally seventy to eighty zhang thick cloud rapidly thinned.

Fifty zhang!

Forty zhang!

Thirty zhang!

Twenty zhang!

In an instant, the thick water cloud was reduced to just over ten zhang.

Similarly, on the other side, Lin Shiqi's yellow sand curtain above his head was reduced to a thin layer.

Lin Shiqi formed hand seals, shooting two thick yellow light pillars from his palms, frantically injecting his immortal spiritual power into the sand curtain above, struggling to resist.

Having lost many of his treasures in succession, he now had nothing left but these Heavenly Extinction Crystal Sands.

If this sand curtain were also broken, he could only wait for death.

Among the three, only Lin Jiu seemed in the best shape. The golden sword sea around him hummed and spun. Though its light had dimmed slightly, golden sword qi still shot out, shredding all the falling azure thunderballs.
