Before the dust settled, Han Li's vision blurred. The white-haired elder's figure flashed past him, and his speed was too fast for his eyes to follow.
Bang!
His heart trembled, and he subconsciously raised his arms. Just as he finished crossing them in front of him, he was sent flying by a heavy punch.
Fortunately, he had secretly activated his True Polarity Membrane and covered his arms with golden scales. Therefore, he was not as disheveled as Lin Seventeen. However, he was still sent flying for hundreds of feet before he managed to stabilize himself.
Although the white-haired elder had sent Han Li flying with a punch, he also took a step back. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, which had not completely lost his rationality.
However, when Lin Jiu arrived with his sword, the white-haired elder roared and swung his fist.
At this moment, his skin had gradually turned from dark red to bright red. The steam that came out of his body had also gradually turned pale pink.
Correspondingly, his speed seemed to be getting faster and faster, and the strength of his punches was also getting stronger. Almost every punch brought with it an explosive sound caused by the friction with the air.
Lin Jiu swung his golden sword continuously, but the white-haired elder was bare-handed. Every punch landed heavily on the tip of the golden sword, and a series of deafening "bang bang" sounds could be heard.
The two of them kept changing their positions. When their fists and swords collided, an invisible fluctuation of the laws erupted. Wherever the fluctuations passed, everything was swept up and easily turned into nothingness. Even the ground was cut into a huge pit.
Although Lin Jiu's swordsmanship was exquisite, he felt that it was not enough to deal with the old man who was extremely fast and seemed to have great strength.
"Both of you have to die!"
The white-haired elderly man let loose a ferocious roar, and his fists blurred slightly as a dozen or so identical fist projections appeared before crashing down toward Lin Jiu with extremely fearsome power.
Lin Jiu didn't think too much and didn't dare to stop. He swung his sword with both hands and a dazzling sword radiance suddenly erupted from the tip of his sword. The radiance grew brighter and brighter until it turned into a golden ball of light that was dozens of feet in size. It spun in the air and exploded.
In an instant, countless crisscrossing golden Sword Qi swept out and collided with the whistling fist shadows, producing a series of metallic screeches.
However, all the sword qi disappeared in an instant, but the fist shadow didn't disappear completely. Lin Jiu was surprised. Golden light flashed from his body, and a large patch of golden light appeared in front of him.
At this moment, Lin XVII flew out of a huge pit not far away from the two of them. His face was covered in dirt and grime.
With a flick of his wrist, a khaki rope flew out of his sleeve. It twisted in the air like a snake and transformed into seven or eight rope loops. All of them went toward the white-haired old man not far away.
"Bang! Bang!" There were a few loud bangs!
Lin Jiu's body trembled with golden light as he was sent flying. The white-haired old man wanted to follow up with another punch, but he was caught by the rope. Immediately, light flashed, and the rope contracted, completely trapping him.
Lin Seventeen grabbed the rope with one hand and pulled it back without any hesitation. The old man's body was lifted off the ground and fell towards them.
Han Li appeared out of nowhere and stabbed the old man's head with his silver sword.
The white-haired old man's eyes flashed with golden light, and he let out a series of muffled groans.
The next moment, his entire body shone with a blood-red light. The skin and flesh on his arms broke open, and two white bones wrapped in a layer of pink fascia suddenly pierced out. Like a blade, they cut through the yellow rope and broke free.
Before he had even stabilized himself, he raised his arm again, sweeping the blade-like white bone toward Han Li, who was only inches away from him.
The tip of the silver sword pierced the white bones, and a screeching sound could be heard.
Han Li felt an overwhelming force rushing toward him. With a jolt of his heart, he used the force to fly backward.
When the white-haired old man saw that Han Li was sent flying by him easily, he was slightly stunned even though he had lost his consciousness. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around. He waved the bone knife on his arm and pounced toward Lin Jiu, who was still holding onto the rope.
Almost in a flash, he directly appeared in front of the latter. After stabbing with his saber, he directly broke through several layers of protective shields on the surface of the latter's body, and then pierced through the latter's chest, causing blood to gush out of the bloody hole.
Lin Seventeen's body bent backward like a prawn as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Following which, a ball of white light erupted from his waist and engulfed his entire body. Then, he fell to the ground with a loud bang.
When the white light faded, Lin Jiu's body was revealed. He was motionless and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.
The white-haired old man chuckled. He did not look at Lin Jiu anymore. Instead, he turned around and looked at Han Li, who had already retreated a few hundred feet away.
Han Li looked at the scene in front of him with a solemn expression.
The old man ought to be a Mysterious Immortal with an extraordinary physical body, and after he consumed the Nascent Ignition Blood Pill, his strength had actually attained such a terrifying degree. Even if I chose to go head on against him earlier, I'd probably suffer heavy injuries.
At this moment, the old man's eyes had turned pure gold, and there was no trace of rationality left in him.
A Xuan Celestial who had lost his rationality and was close to the Golden Celestial Stage, it was no wonder that Lin Jiu was unable to resist him.
Suddenly, the old man's figure blurred and disappeared from his original position.
Han Li immediately retreated without any hesitation. At the same time, golden scales appeared on his arms, and he raised his fists before punching the air in front of him.
"Boom!" A heavy sound was heard!
Xu Que's fist collided with the white-haired old man's fist.
An invisible wave of air erupted from the tips of their fists, and it swept out like a stormy sea, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. Sand filled the sky, and rocks rolled away.
Han Li felt a majestic force surging towards him, and his entire body was thrown back by a few hundred feet. He only managed to stabilize himself after smashing a black cliff behind him.
The white-haired old man also flew back, but he only flew for a few hundred feet before he stabilized himself.
"Jiao Shiwu, I didn't expect you to be a Xuan Celestial.
However, don't attack him head-on. Wait for me to set up the trap array and lure him in.
Now that he's lost his consciousness, he'll be dead without a doubt once his blood essence and Nascent Soul are completely consumed, "Lin Jiu yelled as he hovered in mid-air." That's right.
"I can't guarantee that I can hold him back for too long. You should set up the array as soon as possible," Han Li said to Lin Jiu after he calmed his surging blood essence.
Then, he flew into the sky and threw the long sword in his hand.
The silver long sword flew into the sky, and there was a flash of silver light. A circle of dense sword shadows appeared and bloomed in the sky like a thousand-petal lotus.
Han Li chanted and pointed downward with one finger.
There was a loud sound in the sky.
A series of dense silver sword shadows shot down like a storm and enveloped the white-haired old man who had just climbed out of the cliff.
"Boom! Boom!
Boom! "Explosions sounded continuously in the valley, and the rocks in the valley shattered. Dust flew everywhere, and soon, the old man's figure was buried in the dust.
There was a roar that sounded like a beast's roar.
Amidst the smoke and dust, the white-haired old man's figure suddenly leapt out. Scarlet cracks appeared all over his skin, and his hair, which was originally tied up in a high bun, was now scattered. His long, snow-white hair danced wildly in the wind, making him look like a ferocious demon.
He used his arms to protect his face and allowed Han Li's silver sword shadows to pierce his body. He crashed into the silver sword lotus.
The silver sword lotus shone brightly and suddenly exploded. The sky was filled with silver sword shadows that shot out in all directions.
The silver longsword in the middle also broke into two with a "pa" sound.
When Han Li saw this, he frowned slightly. Golden scales appeared on his arms, and they became thicker. He waved his fists and welcomed the attack.
On the other side of the valley, Lin Jiu was holding a golden long rod that was as thick as an adult man's arm. He walked to a rock in a few steps and stabbed the long rod into the ground.
The golden long rod, which was carved with dense talisman patterns, was buried into the ground. Two-thirds of the rod was buried in the ground, and only the body of the rod, which was about ten feet long, was exposed.
Lin Jiu looked around and saw that the golden long rod had basically formed a circular array. There were only two gaps at the east and west ends.
"Jiao Shiwu, quick, lure him over!" He looked in the direction of Han Li and shouted.
Han Li's body twisted upon hearing this, and he hurtled toward them as a streak of light.
The white-haired old man, who had lost his rationality, stomped his feet on the ground and pounced at Han Li at a speed that was slightly faster than Han Li.
Han Li had just flown to the edge of the array when the white-haired old man had already caught up with him. The bone blade on the outside of his arm suddenly pierced toward Han Li's heart from the back.
At this moment, there was a sharp whistle.
A golden flying sword shot up from below Han Li and hit the old man's bone blade. There was a series of golden sparks.
The old man staggered and stopped in the air above the array.
"Take this."
At the same time, Lin Jiu shouted and raised his wrist. He threw a golden long rod at Han Li.
Han Li descended and picked up the golden long rod. With a flip of his body, he stabbed the golden long rod into the hole in the array.
On the other side, Lin Jiu stabbed another long rod into the ground at the same time.
There was a buzzing sound.
A shapeless fluctuation suddenly rose from within the formation, and the symbols on every single golden rod blossomed with a dazzling golden radiance. Then, a dazzling golden chain stretched out from within, and shot up with a clattering sound. It firmly tied the white-haired old man up.
The white-haired old man's body was bound, and his silver hair fluttered in the wind. White steam rose from his body, and he struggled violently in mid-air.
