"Lin Jiu, how much longer do you think this person can last?" Han Li heaved a sigh of relief and asked Lin Jiu, who was not far away.
"Now that his vital blood is burning, his internal organs, his bones, and his skin, he should be out of energy soon.
We just need to wait patiently for another 30 minutes. "Lin Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and said.
At this moment, Lin Seventeen, who had been lying motionlessly on the ground, suddenly twitched his fingers and sat up with great difficulty.
The bright red flesh and blood on the hole in his chest wriggled and slowly fused together.
"That was close, that was close. I almost died here …" After his flesh was completely healed, he let out a long sigh of relief and patted his chest that had recovered to its original state. He was still in a state of shock.
Han Li and Lin Jiu looked at each other and saw the disdain in each other's eyes. However, neither of them said anything. After all, this mission would come to an end soon and there was no need to be calculative with him anymore.
Lin Seventeen took in the entire situation and looked around. He did not have the intention to go to the two of them immediately. Instead, he moved to the ruins of the stone hall and started to rummage through the rubble.
He waved his hand and swept away the rubble. When he saw the pill cauldron underneath, he bent down and reached out to pick it up.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, the white-haired elder who was trapped in the Dragon Locking Staff suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a deafening roar.
The spell formation that could summon the eight fire dragons suddenly lit up. Then, a blazing flame surged out of it. Eight fire dragons suddenly rushed out of it, and went straight towards the white-haired old man.
Han Li and the other two were shocked and tried to stop them. However, they were one step too late.
The eight Fire Dragons rushed straight into the elder's abdomen and disappeared in a flash.
The crimson color of the old man's body became even more intense. The cracks on his body seemed to be flowing with magma, making him look extremely terrifying. His aura skyrocketed once again, directly breaking through the shackles and reaching the level of a Golden Immortal.
He stretched out his arms and wrapped the golden chains around his body. Then, he pulled them back fiercely. The dozen or so Dragon Locking Rods were pulled out from the ground with a series of bangs. The old man swung them and smashed them towards Han Li.
The two of them looked at each other, not daring to face the attack head-on. They quickly dodged to the sides.
The white-haired elder took a step forward and appeared in front of Lin Seventeen. He raised his fist and punched at Lin Seventeen's head.
This step was so fast that it seemed as if the space between him and Lin Seventeen had been folded together, making it impossible for Lin Seventeen to evade. He had no choice but to raise his hands and summon a yellow flag to defend himself. At the same time, a white light barrier appeared around his body.
The earthy yellow flag was clearly no ordinary item. There was a mutant beast, Ba Xia, that was carrying a stone stele on its back. Brilliant light erupted from its body, and it looked as if it were going to leap out of the flag at any moment, emanating an extremely rich earth-attribute aura.
As soon as the flag was unfurled, the white-haired elder's fist smashed heavily on the flag. The void within a hundred feet suddenly collapsed and a ball of faint golden light burst out, causing waves of ripples.
However, when the fist touched the flag, there was no sound at all.
However, the seemingly weak and powerless flag was constantly being smashed by the huge force, but it was like a winding mountain range, and did not collapse for a moment.
However, a moment later, the Baxia drawn on the flag was covered in cracks, and it crumbled into pieces.
Immediately after, the entire flag was torn apart.
Lin Seventeen, who was below, took advantage of this opportunity to dodge the attack. However, he was still affected by the force of the fist. The white light barrier around his body shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the side.
The white-haired elder did not stop. He chased after Lin Seventeen as though he had teleported and punched his head again.
Everything happened too quickly. Han Li and Lin Seventeen could not save him in time even if they wanted to.
Lin Seventeen cried bitterly in his heart. If he had known that this would happen, he would have pretended to be dead for a while longer. He would not have rushed to take the alchemy furnace.
In a panic, he turned around and grabbed the two ears of the golden alchemy furnace. He raised it high and used it as a shield.
The white-haired elder's fist smashed down heavily. Just as it was about to hit the alchemy furnace, a golden light flashed in his eyes and a look of reluctance appeared on his face. He forced himself to stop.
Lin Seventeen's eyes were tightly shut and his body was drenched in cold sweat. He thought that he was going to die, but the punch did not land on him.
He opened his eyes carefully and saw that the white-haired elder's body was badly mutilated. However, the elder was still in the same position and did not move an inch.
Within the cracks on its body, there were still specks of scarlet light shining like stars. It looked like the remaining embers of a bonfire, but anyone could see that this body no longer had the slightest bit of vitality.
Han Li walked forward and looked at the elder's body. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
He did not know if the elder's last attack was because he had used up all of his essence blood and Nascent Soul, or because he was unwilling to destroy the alchemy furnace.
However, just as Han Li and the others were heaving sighs of relief, an almost undetectable hint of golden light suddenly lit up deep within the white-haired elderly man's lifeless eyes. It was as if he had regained some semblance of vitality before death, and a hint of life force had been injected into him.
"Oh no!" Han Li exclaimed as he sensed that something was wrong.
However, before he could finish his sentence, something strange happened!
The elder's charred lips opened and closed a few times. Finally, he spat out a word with great difficulty.
"Go."
The moment he said this word, the last bit of golden light in the elder's eyes was completely extinguished.
At the same time, a green talisman flew out of his sleeve and instantly appeared in the void thousands of feet away like a green rainbow. The surface of the talisman was flowing with golden light, and then countless tiny golden runes surged out from it.
It was a talisman that was written in the golden seal script!
In the next moment, tens of thousands of dazzling green lights bloomed from these runes, and they converged and surged in mid-air, transforming into a sea of green light that one couldn't look directly at. The entire void let out a muffled thunderous roar, and then the sky above the valley was instantly covered by dark clouds, and it was pitch-black below.
In the blink of an eye, only this sea of light remained between heaven and earth.
The world's origin energy in a radius of 5,000 kilometers surged toward the valley from all directions like a tide and converged into this sea of light, causing the green light on its surface to fluctuate like a torrential wave.
At the center of the sea of light, strands of light green light shot out. After a while, they condensed into an azure figure in armor with a solemn expression.
All of this took a long time to describe, but from the moment the talisman flew out until now, less than a breath of time had passed!
As soon as the azure figure appeared, he glanced at the white-haired elder's corpse on the ground, and then he slashed out with a single hand with a furious expression.
Boom!
A ray of green light appeared along his palm, and then it split into three and transformed into three fine azure threads that flew toward Han Li and the others at an incredible speed.
Everywhere the azure threads passed, the space became hazy and blurry, and even warped.
A strange scene appeared!
Dense spots of azure light converged from all directions, coming from the soil of the entire valley. As the azure light flew out, the plants on the hillside withered as if they had lost their vitality.
The specks of azure light twined around the three azure threads like clay oxen falling into the sea, instantly transforming into three azure light balls that were around a foot in size. Countless azure runes danced on their surfaces, exuding a powerful fluctuation of Laws that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and earth!
Everywhere the ball of light passed, space would warp and tremble violently. Strange fluctuations would arise, and white and misty cracks would appear one after another. Moreover, waves of astonishing suction force were emanating from within, and it seemed as if the space would collapse at any moment.
Han Li's heart trembled, and the silver flying sword in his hand immediately shot out like lightning. The sword light on its surface shone brightly, turning into a huge silver sword light that intercepted the azure light ball.
As a result, there was a crisp sound. The silver sword light could not withstand a single blow, and it was easily cut into two pieces. The broken body of the silver flying sword was revealed, flying to both sides, and its aura was completely lost.
The speed of the azure light ball did not decrease, but increased. It instantly caught up with Han Li and smashed down fiercely.
Although Han Li was shocked, he did not panic. A layer of translucent film appeared on the surface of his body. He waved his hands, and in the dazzling black water light, the Heavy Water Real Wheel appeared. It suddenly expanded by dozens of times, like a huge shield blocking in front of him. The surface was surrounded by black gas, and dense runes also flew out.
The green ball of light arrived with a loud rumble and struck the Heavy Water True Wheel.
"Boom", there was an earth-shattering noise!
Han Li was struck by a burst of unstoppable force, and his body shuddered violently as he was sent flying along with the Heavy Water True Wheel. He flew for over 10,000 feet before he barely managed to stop himself.
The Heavy Water Real Wheel had been constantly infused with the law of water by Han Li over the years. Not only was its weight no less than a few giant mountains, but the power of the law of water contained in it had also reached a small level. It was no less than a high grade Acquired Immortal Artifact.
Even though the azure ball of light had sent Han Li flying, it had also shattered into countless specks of azure light that dissipated in all directions.
But there was a flash of horror in Han Li's heart.
The power of this azure light ball was really too powerful. It was far more powerful than the late stage True Immortal experts that he had encountered before.
As he thought about it, he looked at the Heavy Water Real Wheel in front of him.
There was a shallow mark on the surface of the Real Wheel. It seemed that its spirituality was damaged. Han Li was distressed when he saw it, and he hurriedly injected his immortal spiritual power into it.
The water dao patterns on the Real Wheel flickered, and streaks of black water flowed on the Real Wheel. When the mark disappeared, he heaved a sigh of relief.
On the other side, although Lin Jiu and Lin Shiqi were also sent flying, their cultivation levels were higher than Han Li's. With the help of their Dharma treasures, they barely blocked the attack from the azure light ball and did not suffer any serious injuries.
Lin Shiqi took out a tortoise shell-like shield in front of him. Its surface was carved with a lifelike dragon head and tortoise body demon beast. Under the shine of spiritual light, it looked like an extraordinary treasure.
However, there was a clear mark on the shield. Lin Shiqi's eyes twitched, and he was filled with regret.
The golden flying sword in Lin Jiu's hand had disappeared. Lin Shiqi did not know if it had been damaged like Han Li's silver flying sword. There was a golden millstone floating in front of him. It was unknown what kind of Dharma treasure it was, but there were countless tiny golden patterns on the surface of the millstone.
He looked at the Heavy Water Real Wheel in front of Han Li, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. In the next moment, his expression returned to normal, and he retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened.
Although the change in Lin Jiu's expression only lasted for a moment, Han Li was sharp enough to capture it. He could not help but be moved.
From Lin Jiu's reaction, could it be that he had seen his Heavy Water Real Wheel before?
