The sun rose from the sea and shone on the entire Cloud Lake Island, bringing a trace of warmth to the cold island.
The Cloud Concealing Lake, located in the center of the island, was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist. Even when it was illuminated by the morning sun, it did not seem to dissipate at all.
Han Li, who was dressed in a green robe, was currently suspended high above the lake, looking down.
His eyes flashed with blue light, and his divine senses constantly swept across the lake, but he found that the lake was covered by the miasma, and he could not detect anything.
His eyes flashed slightly, and with a shake of his wrist, a long black saber appeared in his hand.
A light flashed on the surface of his body, and layers of golden scales turned up. His arm suddenly became thicker, and a layer of dazzling black light immediately appeared on the long black saber in his hand, attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to converge on it.
Countless black runes appeared on the body of the saber, emitting waves of black halos, which were mixed with strong fluctuations of the power of law, causing the void to tremble.
After holding the saber with one hand and drawing an arc in front of his body, he raised the saber high above his head, and then slashed down toward the lake.
There was a "whoosh" sound of wind.
The entire black saber suddenly lit up, and a huge saber shadow that was more than a hundred feet long extended from the saber and smashed into the lake.
Before the saber shadow arrived, the astral wind arrived first.
Under a violent gust of wind, the mist on the lake suddenly surged together like snow, pushing towards both sides.
"Boom!"
There was a loud sound like thunder, and suddenly a gust of wind and huge waves were set off in the Cloud Concealing Lake. Two huge water walls that were more than a hundred feet high were separated from the center of the lake, pushing towards both sides majestically.
The rolling waves were surging crazily, directly crossing the lake shore, like a tsunami rushing into the surrounding forest.
"Who's courting death!"
At this moment, a violent roar suddenly came from the bottom of the lake.
Immediately thereafter, a streak of golden light shot forth from the parted waves, hurtling directly toward Han Li.
"Clam Essence Beast!"
Han Li focused his gaze and saw a middle-aged man in a golden robe with a square face and dark purple eyes in the golden light. He was holding a golden longsword in his hand and was thrusting it straight at him.
He couldn't sense any demonic beast aura from this person, but based on his intuition, Han Li could tell that this person was the person he was looking for.
The runes on the golden longsword sparkled, and an unstoppable sharp aura emanated from it.
"Clang!" There was a sharp sound.
Han Li blocked with his saber without saying a word. He swung his saber forward, and the saber and the tip of the sword collided heavily. Under the surge of a huge force, the person was sent flying. Han Li's figure shook a little, and he stabilized his figure.
"Heh heh, I don't know where this little loose immortal popped out from, but he actually dares to provoke me. Truly courting death!
I now need the blood essence of a human immortal to break through the bottleneck. I didn't expect that when I was sleepy, someone would come and give me a pillow! "The man in the golden robe sneered after he stabilized his figure a few hundred feet away.
As soon as his voice fell, the golden longsword in his hand was suddenly thrown forward. The sword flashed, and thousands of golden longswords were divided from it. They were stacked on top of each other, like a golden lotus blooming in the sky.
The next moment, there was a loud sound in the air, and the golden longswords suddenly flew out, like a golden sword dragon, and rushed toward Han Li.
In the beginning, Han Li had thought that these golden longswords were nothing more than sword projections, but when the golden sword dragon flew toward him and opened its mouth to bite down on him, he discovered that these longswords seemed to all be substantial entities.
He directly raised his saber to block it without saying a word. The black long saber was stuck in the mouth of the sword dragon, and several golden longswords that were like dragon teeth were biting it.
At the same time, a huge claw of the golden sword dragon reached out from below and fiercely clawed at his chest. It tore his clothes apart and left several shocking white marks on the golden scales on his chest.
Han Li suddenly pulled out his long saber, and a large number of golden sparks appeared in the sword dragon's mouth. He kicked the dragon's head heavily, and he flew backward.
However, before he could stabilize his body, there was a wind behind him.
A strange beast that looked like a real dragon suddenly jumped out from behind him, and it opened its mouth to bite his head.
Although this beast had a dragon's head, there were no dragon horns on the dragon's head. Although it had a dragon's body, there were no dragon claws on the dragon's body.
Han Li's pupils shrank. His body flashed in a green light, and he moved sideways at the critical moment. He brushed past the strange beast and avoided it.
However, in the next moment, he felt a sharp pain on his shoulder.
That strange beast actually opened its mouth and bit down on his shoulder. Even with his tough body, his shoulder was bitten through in an instant. At this moment, blood was gushing out continuously.
Han Li was shocked. He had clearly dodged the attack just now, but he did not know why he was still bitten by the other party.
He raised his other arm that was holding the saber high. Just as he was about to slash at the dragon's head that was biting his shoulder, a strong sense of alertness flashed in his heart, and he stopped his movements.
In the next moment, Han Li felt a sharp pain in his head. It was not because he was attacked by something else, but because he wanted to stay awake, he attacked himself with the Spiritual Thorn.
Accompanied by the attack of the sharp pain, he looked at his shoulder again, but there was nothing there. Where was the dragon's head?
If he had slashed with the saber just now, he would have made a mistake and cut off his arm.
"How is it possible? How can a cultivator in the early stage of the Perfected Celestial Realm see through my illusion?" The man in the golden robe stood thousands of feet away and asked in disbelief.
Naturally, Han Li did not intend to answer the man, but he was very vigilant in his heart.
He waved his wrist down, and his body suddenly rushed forward. The black long saber immediately drew an arc in the air, and then the blade turned and slashed directly at the man.
"You're courting death!"
When the man in the golden robe saw this, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
He quickly made a seal with both hands in front of him, and a five-colored light suddenly burst out from his fingers. It turned into a dreamlike five-colored light, and it reflected in Han Li's eyes, making him feel dizzy.
At the same time, there was a sound of metal friction. It was the golden sword dragon that chased from behind and bit at Han Li's back.
Han Li raised his hand subconsciously and blocked in front of him, and the other hand that held the saber suddenly swept behind him.
A crescent-shaped saber light broke through the air and hit the sword dragon heavily. The sword dragon shrank back, and the blades around it overlapped, making a series of "clang clang" sounds.
At this moment, in the five-colored mirage in front of him, suddenly there was a huge palm that looked like a five-colored crystal diamond, and it held Han Li's body in the palm.
Han Li suddenly felt a huge force squeezing his chest, and it was a little difficult for him to breathe for a while.
In addition, the five-colored mirage in front of him was still flashing, which made him a little dizzy, and his reaction was a little slow.
"Die!" There was a loud shout from behind the five-colored mirage.
The sword dragon that had been beaten back by Han Li just now broke through the air and attacked again. The two golden sword blades on the dragon's head suddenly lengthened, and there were several protruding spikes on them, like two sharp thorns, stabbing at Han Li's back.
The blue light in Han Li's eyes flickered, but he still could not see through the mirage in front of him, and his consciousness began to become a little blurred.
There was a loud shout from his mouth, and golden light suddenly flashed around him. The muscles all over his body quickly swelled, and he directly turned into a golden giant ape that was more than a hundred feet tall.
The giant hand that held his body suddenly could not withstand it, and it suddenly shattered.
As soon as he got out, Han Li, who had turned into a giant mountain ape, held a black long saber that had also become hundreds of feet long in his hands, and suddenly slashed at the five-colored mirage in front of him, as well as the golden-robed man hiding behind the mirage.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
There was a whistling sound of a gust of wind.
The five-colored mirage immediately collapsed under the strong wind caused by the long saber, and the golden-robed man standing behind it also retreated with a look of horror.
However, the black long saber covered a large area, and he could not escape in a short time.
Seeing that the saber was about to fall on his body, the golden-robed man suddenly smiled strangely, and no longer retreated, allowing the saber to cut him in half.
The golden-robed man's cracked body distorted in the void, and it directly disappeared.
At this time, the giant sword dragon that attacked from behind Han Li suddenly spoke in the human language, "Let's see how you dodge this time …"
After saying that, its speed doubled, and it directly stabbed at Han Li's back.
Han Li, who had his back facing it, only took another step forward. He could not escape in time, nor could he turn around to deal with it.
Just as the sword dragon was about to stab into his back, a misty green light suddenly lit up in the void between him and the sword dragon, and with just a flash, it disappeared on the spot.
In the next moment, the Golden Sword Dragon that was stabbing forward suddenly slowed down, and then fell straight down to the surface of the lake.
Han Li's lips curled into a smile, and his body quickly shrank, turning back into a human form, and chased after the golden sword dragon below.
There were clanging sounds in the air, and the golden swords around the golden sword dragon left the main trunk one after another, falling down, and the body of a golden-robed man was revealed.
However, at this moment, there was a very eye-catching bloody hole between his eyebrows. His strange purple eyes had lost their original luster and turned into a grayish-white color.
The Nascent Soul hidden in his skull had also been destroyed.
Han Li grabbed in front of him with one hand, and the split golden swords turned into a golden light and disappeared one after another. In the end, only one remained, and it fell into his hand.
He looked at the golden long sword for a while, and then put it into the storage bracelet.
At this time, a green light suddenly flashed in the bloody hole between the golden-robed man's eyebrows, and a small green pocket-sized sword that was less than an inch long rushed out from it. It drew a blurry shadow in the air, and then it quickly enlarged and returned to its original state.
It was Han Li's Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, and not one, but 72.
After so many years of internal cultivation, the majestic Sword Essence that the swords had devoured in the past had all been used for its own use, and the quality of each flying sword had barely reached the level of a Acquired Fairy Weapon.
When they were combined into one, it would be comparable to a real Acquired Celestial Artifact.
