The moment Chou Wu saw the appearance of the silver fire bird, a hint of panic flashed across his face. But now, he could only clench his teeth and spit 3 mouthfuls of blood essence at the round bowl in his hand.
As soon as the blood essence came into contact with the surface of the bowl, it was absorbed without a single drop remaining. Immediately thereafter, a buzzing sound rang out from the bowl, and brilliant crimson light erupted from it. Rings of runes appeared over the surface of the bowl, and a blood wyrm abruptly flew out from within.
As soon as the dragon condensed, it opened its bloody mouth, and a stream of blood gushed out like a waterfall. It turned into a monstrous blood wave that went straight at the silver fire bird.
The blood wave was extremely viscous, and there were traces of black gas in the middle, giving off a disgusting stench.
Seeing this, the silver fire bird didn't stop at all. It flapped its wings, and countless fist-sized silver fireballs appeared, going at the blood wave.
"Puff puff"!
Every silver fireball that fell on the blood wave would burst open, turning into a large area of silver flames that flew around, making a sizzling sound. Most of the blood suddenly seemed to be evaporated, and wisps of white smoke rose.
In an instant, the blood wave became riddled with holes, and the silver flames even broke a hole of 20 to 300 meters in the middle.
The silver fire bird turned into a silver rainbow, passing directly through the hole in the middle, and went straight in the direction of the blood dragon and Chou Wu.
When Chou Wu saw this, he fiercely gritted his teeth and quickly formed a series of hand seals. Crimson light surged from the blood wyrm's body and countless translucent talisman characters appeared within the crimson light. The blood wyrm bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it charged towards the silver Fire Raven.
Han Li's eyes flashed in blue light. He seemed to think of something, and he quickly made a gesture to recall the fire bird.
As a result, the runes on the surface of the blood dragon burst under the crystal light, turning into a large viscous blood mist, and it shrouded the silver fire bird that didn't have time to return.
But immediately afterward, a clear chirp came out, and a silver fireball rushed out of the blood mist, turning into a silver fire bird that flew back to Han Li.
However, at this moment, the bird looked a little dim, and there was a lot of blood mist on its body. It was obvious that it had been greatly affected by the explosion of the blood flood dragon.
Under Han Li's command, the silver flame on the bird's body rose and evaporated the blood mist on its body. Then, like a tired bird returning to its nest, it flew back into his sleeve and disappeared.
The blood serpent summoned by the alms bowl contained a trace of the power of laws, and it had the ability to corrode spirituality. Fortunately, he had decisively summoned the bird back, or its spirituality would have been greatly damaged.
At that moment, Chou Wu's face was a little pale. Clearly, he had expended a lot of his Primordial Qi just now. Seeing that Han Li was still safe and sound, a ruthless look flashed across his eyes.
A bone-chilling scene appeared!
He tore open his robe with both hands, revealing a long and narrow wound on his exposed abdomen. His skin and flesh shrunk to the sides, revealing a large black hole in the middle.
The purple-black alms bowl shone brightly as if it was summoned. In a flash, it flew into the hole.
At the same time, the blood mist that the blood flood dragon turned into just now rolled back along with the blood waves. It instantly went back into Chou Wu's body through the big hole in his abdomen.
His figure also skyrocketed. His pupils disappeared, and they were replaced by 2 blood-red gems.
At this moment, his clothes were all torn, and the surface of his skin was covered with blood-colored scale-like crystals. He had turned into a 80 meters tall blood crystal giant, exuding crystal luster all over his body.
Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't retreat. Instead, he rushed straight toward him.
Seeing this, the blood crystal giant transformed by Chou Wu let out a strange laughter. He raised his palm and slapped at Liu Ming's head. Wherever it passed, the space trembled slightly.
Han Li didn't have the slightest intention to dodge. He took a step forward, raised his right fist, and smashed at the giant blood crystal hand.
"Boom", there was a loud noise.
Han Li only felt a huge force like Mt. Tai falling from the sky. His body suddenly sank, but his feet broke the ground. In the blink of an eye, a small part of his body had sunk deep into the ground.
However, after the Blood Crystal Giant's punch, its body shuddered violently, and it staggered back a few steps before it managed to stabilize itself.
At this moment, Han Li's figure suddenly jumped out from the ground. In a flash, he flew to the top of the underground palace. He stomped on the top of the palace, turned around, and smashed at the blood crystal giant like a meteor.
There was no expression in the ruby-like eyes of the giant, but he roared. His body was covered in bloody light, and he raised his fist to greet Han Li.
The 7 clusters of blue light on Han Li's chest and abdomen suddenly shone, and the fist that was rushing forward also lit up with a hazy starlight. It suddenly smashed on the blood crystal giant fist.
"Boom", a huge roar sounded continuously.
Like a landslide, the bloody light on the surface of the giant fist collapsed, then it collapsed inch by inch, turning into pieces of crystals of different sizes that fell down.
Han Li was unstoppable all the way. His fist was like a sharp blade that broke the arm inch by inch. It directly broke through the left chest, and a small part of the body was blasted into pieces.
The crimson crystal giant's body suddenly came to a halt, and the crimson light in its eyes dimmed. Then, a series of crashing sounds rang out, and its body completely shattered, turning into a pile of crimson crystals.
In a crystal in its dantian, Han Li saw a dim golden person. It was Chou Wu's Nascent Soul.
It seemed that because of the mystic art just now, it was temporarily sealed in it and couldn't escape.
Han Li extended a hand and was just about to draw it back into his body when the Nascent Soul self-detonated amid a dull thump, transforming into a cloud of blood mist that disappeared into the pool of blood down below.
From Chou Wu's attack to Han Li killing him with lightning speed, it only took a dozen breaths. This shocked the four people who were still fighting fiercely not far away.
However, the difference was that Jiao Ba and Jiao Jiu were surprised, but the bearded man and the other man were frightened.
The ugly woman in the black dress's eyes flashed, and she immediately stopped fighting with Lu Kun. She took advantage of the gap and suddenly flashed to the high platform in the middle of the palace.
Almost at the same time, the bearded man also broke away from the joint attack of Jiao Ba and his Earth God Incarnation. His figure flashed and landed next to the ugly woman.
The next moment, the two figures blurred and turned into a cloud of blood that disappeared into the big hole on the high platform.
The two of them actually left as soon as they said they would, without the slightest intention of procrastinating.
When Jiao Ba and Lu Kun saw this, they looked at each other and put away their Earth God Incarnations. Their figures flashed and they arrived in front of Han Li.
Although it was only a short exchange, the two's injuries, which were not light to begin with, seemed to have worsened.
"I was blind before. I didn't see that you had the strength to kill a Loose Celestial in an instant." Lu Kun looked at Han Li with a complicated gaze.
"This time, if you didn't kill one person with lightning speed and scare off the other two, I'm afraid we would have suffered a great loss.
I will report this to Lord Jiao San. "Jiao Ba let out a long breath.
"That's right.
However, for now, we should think of a way to leave this place. "Lu Kun nodded and looked around with lingering fear in his heart.
Han Li mused, "Jiao Sixteen tried to use his immortal tool to break the restriction here, but not only was it ineffective, it provoked the crimson light to retaliate in a frenzy. It seems that using brute force won't work, so we'll have to think of something else."
"I think the two of them only retreated temporarily. They still have Gongshu Hong behind them. They won't give us much time to think of a way." Jiao Nine said worriedly.
Lu Kun thought for a moment and said, "Jiao Fifteen, you were able to break the blood red space in Tianshui City. I don't think it was just luck. Look for a weak spot in the formation here.
I will try to contact Lord Jiao San and report the situation here to him. "Lu Kun thought for a moment and said.
"I'll give it a try." Han Li nodded when he heard this.
When Lu Kun saw this, he closed his eyes and the sheep mask appeared on his face again. Blue ripples started to appear on it.
When Jiao Ba saw this, he turned around and started to search through everyone's storage pouches.
Han Li glanced at him and did not say anything. His eyes shone with blue light and he started to look around.
A thick layer of dark red blood had accumulated on the ground, and all the corpses were soaked in it. The surrounding stone pillars and walls were also splashed with scarlet red blood, as if a terrifying red flower had bloomed on them.
Not far from him, there was a statue that was soaked in blood. It looked like an evil god. It looked even more eye-catching. It made the purgatory-like underground space look even more eerie.
However, no matter if it was the walls or the statue, they could not find any weak spots.
After a while, Lu Kun slowly opened his eyes. He shook his head and said in a deep voice,
He said, "There is no response from Lord Jiao San."
Han Li's brows also furrowed slightly as he said, "This underground palace is rather peculiar. It seems that the restrictions here are imbued with a type of law of blood, and it's been nurtured by the blood of countless living sacrifices over the years, thereby allowing it to form its own independent space. It won't be easy to find any flaws in it in a short time."
While they were talking, Jiao Ba came back and said to the two of them,
"Fellow Daoists, the storage artifacts of the Anicca Alliance's Fellow Daoists and those two Loose Immortals are all here. Let's split them. This trip is extremely dangerous, and it'll be even more difficult to predict what will happen later on. It'll be good to have some insurance."
At this moment, he was holding a few storage bags in one hand and two storage bracelets in the other.
The three of them made a brief inventory and noticed that these six Itinerant Immortals had accumulated quite a bit. No matter if it was spirit pills, spirit materials, spirit treasures, or magic artifacts, they actually didn't lack any of them. So after distributing it, each of them could be considered to have obtained rather abundant gains.
Due to Han Li's previous actions, the only Celestial Artifact among the treasures, Jiao Sixteen's black iron awl, naturally fell into Han Li's hands.
In reality, Jiao Ba and the other two also coveted the treasure, but they didn't want it to fall into the other's hands. In the end, they could only do a favor and give it to Han Li.
Han Li was naturally aware of this. After accepting the item, he made some concessions on the distribution of the other materials, which satisfied the two of them.
