Chapter 803: Anomaly

Han Li glanced at the palace ruins ahead, then lightly patted Shi Chuankong on the shoulder.

Instantly, a vast and pure immortal spiritual power swept through his body, immediately suppressing the potent poison and preventing it from spreading further.

“Brother Li, thank you,” Shi Chuankong said. The numbness in his body quickly receded as he hurriedly turned over and sat up, taking out a blue pill that shimmered with fluorescence and swallowing it.

Blue lines immediately appeared on his skin, spreading across his entire body in an instant. The wound on his waist quickly generated countless blood threads that intertwined, rapidly healing the wound, while the blackness on the surrounding skin began to recede.

“It seems all your subordinates have betrayed you. How do you want to deal with them?” Han Li asked calmly.

Shi Chuankong’s face showed a struggle, and for a moment he was speechless.

At that moment, several loud booms erupted. The collapsed ruins exploded violently, and Old Man Qi and the others flew out from the debris, charging over again.

Han Li glanced at Shi Chuankong, then reached out with one hand and grasped the air. Golden lightning flashed, and three Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords materialized beside him.

With a flick of his wrist, a sharp hissing sound arose. The three Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords transformed into countless golden lightning threads, surging overwhelmingly toward the opponents, moving at a terrifying speed and appearing before them in an instant.

Each lightning thread emitted dazzling light and crackled like ten thousand thunderbolts striking simultaneously, releasing powerful fluctuations of the lightning law.

Old Man Qi, flying at the front, changed expression and let out a mighty roar.

As the roar left his mouth, three cyan whirlpools materialized before him, spinning rapidly. Countless cyan ripples surged out from them, forming a thick cyan light shield that protected everyone.

The rain of golden lightning threads struck the cyan light shield, causing small whirlpools to appear on its surface, spinning wildly in an attempt to devour the golden threads.

But the sword threads transformed from the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were now immensely powerful. After a slight pause, they easily pierced through the cyan light shield, unaffected by the whirlpools, and continued shooting toward the group.

The riddled cyan light shield flickered once and then burst apart.

However, the momentary obstruction of the cyan light shield bought the others precious reaction time.

The fleshy mountain of a man clenched both his pudgy fists and struck them together fiercely in front of him.

With a loud metallic clang, rings of golden ripples surged outward wildly!

The golden lightning threads that reached him trembled violently upon contact with the ripples; half of them burst apart directly, while the rest were blocked by the golden ripples, unable to advance.

The fleshy man then let out a loud shout and suddenly grabbed at the void in front of him with both hands.

The golden ripples instantly converged like lightning, forming a lifelike golden lion phantom that opened its mouth and let out an earth-shaking roar.

Rolling sonic waves like metal striking stone surged forth, and the remaining lightning threads snapped inch by inch, scattering as golden electric sparks.

At the same time, the dark-faced old man shot two beams of almost tangible black light from his eyes. His body spun rapidly, and a large shadow surged out from him, shooting forward.

The shadow emitted a law power of extreme cold, distorting and blurring the void it passed through, as if freezing it.

The golden lightning threads collided with the shadow and were all blocked, unable to advance.

The red-dressed young woman opened her mouth and spat out a crystalline white thumb ring. She formed hand seals and urged it on.

The ring expanded rapidly in the wind, transforming into a huge white ring dozens of feet in size, enveloping her body.

The giant ring spun around her delicate form, then with a soft “bang,” it burst apart, turning into a white cloud dozens of feet across.

The golden lightning threads shot into the white cloud easily, but their speed immediately slowed significantly, as if stuck in mud.

The pink-dressed young woman twisted her waist, turning into a blur that darted through the gaps between the golden lightning threads, evading them.

Old Man Qi himself flickered and retreated, appearing among the eight Golden Immortal stage demons.

Without a word, the eight immediately formed a circle around Old Man Qi, their positions staggered, vaguely forming a formation pattern.

Lights of various colors flickered on the nine of them, intertwining and merging, dancing in the void like blooming flowers.

Old Man Qi rubbed his hands together, and a dense rain of hand seals plunged into the intertwined light of the group.

With a soft “puff”!

The multicolored flower lights instantly merged, flickered once, and formed a grayish light array that enveloped the nine figures.

The golden lightning threads shot over and struck the gray light array violently, producing dazzling electric flashes.

The gray light array trembled incessantly, its gray light flickering within, but showed no signs of breaking.

Seeing his golden lightning threads blocked, Han Li’s expression remained unchanged. He turned to Shi Chuankong again and said, “Brother Shi, indecision leads to disaster!”

“Sorry for troubling you, Brother Li. Since they are determined to kill us, you need not hold back,” Shi Chuankong said, his body trembling slightly. The struggle in his eyes vanished instantly as he spoke solemnly.

“Good,” Han Li nodded.

As his words fell, he raised one hand, and nine golden beams flew out from his sleeve—nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. The countless golden lightning threads in front also shot back, transforming back into three golden flying swords.

The twelve Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords merged into one, all radiating dazzling golden sword light.

Han Li’s pupils contracted slightly as his hands turned like wheels before him.

With a heaven-shaking sword cry, countless golden sword qi materialized, instantly forming a massive golden sword formation several acres in size—the Qilong Sword Formation—which descended like a canopy.

With a rumbling roar, the nearby void seemed to be driven by the sword formation, pressing down together!

The dark-faced old man and the red-dressed young woman changed expression. Their forms flickered, turning into black and red blurs that shot left and right, barely escaping before the golden sword formation descended.

Although the two escaped, the fleshy man was slow, and Old Man Qi and the others in the formation seemed unable to move. None of them escaped and were all trapped under the golden sword formation.

The fleshy man’s expression changed. He let out a low shout and spat out a golden light that vanished into the golden lion phantom before him.

The golden lion phantom’s body instantly swelled several times, enveloping the fleshy man inside.

Countless golden runes then appeared on the golden lion phantom. Its body flashed with golden light, instantly solidifying into a real golden lion. Golden patches like scales appeared on its skin, making it look extremely majestic and mighty.

The golden lion let out a roar, its four hooves churning as it leaped forward, charging out of the sword formation.

Meanwhile, Old Man Qi and the others let out a low shout. The gray light array blazed brightly, and countless gray light threads shot out from it, winding toward the surrounding sword formation as if trying to turn the tables and break it.

Seeing this, Han Li sneered and urged the sword art with his hands.

A sharp whistling sound arose!

Countless sharp golden sword qi burst forth from the sword formation, along with twelve dragon-like golden sword shadows that slashed at the golden lion and the gray light array.

With a “crack,” the seemingly indestructible golden lion was instantly cut into several pieces, as fragile as tofu.

The fleshy man’s body emerged from the lion’s belly, his face full of shock. Before he could form hand seals, two dragon-like sword shadows flashed, and his body was also cut into several pieces.

With a “splat,” blood splattered everywhere.

On the other side, the gray light threads from the gray light array shattered inch by inch upon contact with the sharp sword qi.

Then several dragon-like sword shadows struck the gray light array. The array twisted and wailed, then burst apart with a bang, vanishing into nothingness.

Sharp sword qi rained down, engulfing Old Man Qi and the others. Screams of agony came from within.

“Gao Feng, you villain! Stop!” Seeing this, the pink-dressed young woman’s eyes nearly split with rage. She screamed and turned into a pink blur, charging at Han Li like lightning.

At the same time, she waved her hand and offered a pink jade fan.

The fan was entirely pink, adorned with countless exquisite butterfly patterns. As light flowed, it emitted a layer of pink flames, appearing extremely mysterious.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong were both slightly startled upon hearing the pink-dressed young woman’s words.

Before her words faded, the red-dressed young woman grabbed the jade fan and fanned with all her might.

A dense pink glow surged out from the jade fan, rolling toward Han Li like a raging tide.

The dark-faced old man also roared in anger, turning into a black shadow that lunged fiercely at Han Li.

As he flew, he rolled on the ground, and a large shadow surged out from his body, forming a black cloud dozens of feet in size.

A low roar came from the black cloud, and then a huge black turtle, as large as a house, appeared in a flash.

The turtle had six strange black eyes on its head, and its back was covered with huge crystal ice spikes, exuding an extremely cold aura.

As soon as the black giant turtle appeared, its six black eyes opened simultaneously, shooting out six black beams. With a flicker, they crossed hundreds of feet and appeared before Han Li, striking down fiercely.

Seeing this, Han Li immediately formed hand seals and waved his hands.

With a crackling thunder, thick golden arcs of electricity shot from his hands, instantly transforming into two thick golden lightning walls that blocked the pink glow and the black beams respectively.

With two dull thuds, the lightning walls trembled violently but quickly stabilized, blocking the pink glow and black beams.

Although Han Li blocked the pink glow and black beams, he could not fully resist the law power contained within them.

A soft law power and an extreme cold law power penetrated the lightning walls and struck his body.

The extreme cold law affected his body somewhat but was blocked before penetrating too deep. However, the soft law power, like clouds and mist, had strong penetration. As soon as it touched his body, it quickly burrowed in.

Han Li felt a cold, strange fragrance fill his nostrils, stimulating his marrow and causing all his pores to open wide. His tough body suddenly felt weak and limp, and he almost stumbled and fell.

His heart tightened, and he immediately sensed that this soft law power was not pure law but had a kind of incense mixed in.

As the soft law power invaded his body, the incense also penetrated every part of him.

The two had perfectly merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.
