The hunchback old man raised his eyebrows and stopped his hand movements. However, his eyes never left Gu Yunyue.
At the same time, the horse-faced Youth took out a black dagger and slashed his arm.
A large amount of blood gushed out and turned into a thick blood mist that merged with the Hundred Ghosts Painting.
The black gas emitted by the black painting suddenly thickened and gusts of cold wind appeared out of nowhere. Ghostly wails and wolf howls resounded. It was extremely frightening.
Roar roar!
Two ferocious ghosts jumped out of the painting and grew to four to five feet in size.
The upper bodies of these two ghosts were shaped like apes with short, dark green hair. Their mouths were filled with snow white fangs that protruded out of their mouths. Their arms were thick and strong and their ten fingers had bloody red claws that were a foot long.
Their lower bodies were shrouded by a black fog as if they had no physical body.
The cold wind around the painting grew stronger and the black gas rolled. Ferocious ghosts flew out one after another.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of ghosts appeared.
Most of them were at the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, there were five or six ghosts that were obviously larger in size and emitted the aura of Core Formation Stage.
"Kill!" The horse-faced Youth sneered and pointed at Gu Yunyue and the others.
Roar roar roar!
Hundreds of ghosts pounced towards the Flying Moon Spirit Ship with an imposing manner.
Gu Yunyue's expression changed drastically as she withdrew her hands from the silver handkerchief and patted the storage pouch on her waist. Four streaks of white light flew out from the storage pouch and landed around her, revealing themselves to be humanoid white jade puppets that were around 10 feet tall. Each of them wore a suit of armor and held a large white flag that was flashing with spiritual light.
The four puppets waved the large flag in their hands and a brilliant white light emitted from their bodies. The light quickly connected with each other and formed a white magic array that enveloped the Flying Moon Spirit Ship inside.
The moment the magic array was formed, the hundreds of ghosts rushed over and surrounded the white magic array.
Roar roar!
These ferocious ghosts roared and clawed as they attacked the white magic array with all their might.
The few completion levelled ghosts, in particular, were spitting out rays of green light that landed on the array.
The white magic array immediately shook violently.
Gu Yunyue hurriedly formed a hand seal, and rays of white light fell on the four puppets. Only then did the array gradually stabilize.
The Horse-faced Youth's figure flickered, and he also flew near the white spell formation. He muttered an incantation, and a large amount of greyish-white flames appeared on his body again, forming a sea of fire that was dozens of feet wide.
He made a grabbing motion in the air, and a small piece of the greyish-white flames in the sea of flames immediately separated, condensing into two flame spears that were several tens of feet long.
With a wave of his arm, the flaming spear immediately shot out like a bolt of lightning, emitting an ear-piercing screech as it ruthlessly stabbed into the white spell formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Fire Spear shattered, but the white spell formation also shook violently. Even Gu Yunyue's body shook, and her complexion turned pale.
The horse-faced Youth sneered as he hurled fire spears from his hand, bombarding the magic formation one after another.
The originally seventy to eighty feet white magic circle shook violently, and its light quickly dimmed and shrunk. Not long after, it had shrunk to less than thirty feet.
Gu Yunyue's complexion became paler, and fine beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead. Her body trembled slightly.
In the sky above the spell formation, the hunchbacked old man saw Gu Yunyue's current expression, and laughed heartily. He patted the storage bag on his waist, and twelve black lights flew out of it. They were twelve bone tridents.
The bone tridents expanded in the wind, and their surface rose up with pitch-black flames. They emitted a bone-chilling aura as they flew down towards the white spell formation.
Qi Xuan had ordered the two of them to come here, and whoever could kill Gu Yunyue would naturally make a great contribution.
Gu Yunyue was now an arrow at the end of its flight, and the hunchbacked old man immediately moved to snatch the credit.
The horse-faced Youth was furious in his heart, but the hunchbacked old man's cultivation was higher than his, so he could only swallow his anger.
Gu Yunyue couldn't help but reveal a trace of despair in her eyes as she saw this scene.
But at this moment, a figure soared from the spirit boat, and in a flash, directly passed through the white spell formation, and appeared in the air outside. It was Han Li.
His figure flashed left and right, and suddenly transformed into a few afterimages. Then, they quickly combined into one.
The twelve bone tridents that had shot down mysteriously disappeared.
The hunchbacked old man's eyes narrowed, and his complexion changed greatly.
Han Li slowly spread out his hands in the air, and the twelve bone tridents were impressively in his hands. He then rubbed his hands together, and the black flames on the twelve bone tridents collapsed, revealing their original bodies.
He looked at these bone tridents, and waved his hand to put them away. From beginning to end, his face was expressionless, as if he had done a trivial thing.
"You, you …" The hunchbacked old man pointed at Han Li, and was shocked and angry at the same time.
The ghost creatures smelled the breath of a living person on Han Li's body, and immediately abandoned the white spell formation, and rushed towards him, their mouths emitting excited roars.
"Noisy!"
Han Li frowned, and his figure flashed again, turning into a blurry green shadow, and rushed into the crowd of ghosts.
Wherever the green shadow passed, the ghosts were like waves crashing into a reef, directly exploding and shattering into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred ghosts were killed by the green shadow with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
The horse-faced Youth was dumbfounded, and he looked at everything in front of him in a daze.
A figure flashed, and Han Li appeared in front of him, and blasted a punch.
"Boom!"
The horse-faced Youth didn't have time to scream, and his body directly burst into pieces of flesh. Even the Original Soul hiding inside was not spared.
"Not good!"
The hunchbacked old man saw this, and hurriedly waved his sleeves, and a dense number of green flying needles emerged. There were hundreds of them, and each of them was a foot long. They were as thin as hair, and they were burning with green flames.
The sky full of fine needles flew towards Han Li like rain, making a dense "Chi Chi" sound.
Almost at the same time, the surface of the old man's body emitted a rolling green flame. He turned around and flew into the distance, even abandoning the giant golden tower.
Han Li saw this, and didn't move. He opened his mouth and suddenly took a deep breath.
"Boom!"
A huge suction suddenly appeared in the void in front of him, and the airflow within a hundred feet was reversed, and the space was buzzing incessantly.
The flying needles were immediately swept away by the suction, like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, and all of them went into Han Li's mouth.
He chewed, and there was a crunching sound. He raised his head slightly and swallowed them directly.
Gu Yunyue saw this scene, and her mouth opened slightly. Her whole person was stunned.
Yu Menghan and Liu Le 'er on the flying boat not far away only felt that the sky was dazzled. It seemed that they didn't understand what was happening in front of them at all, and two enemies were killed and one escaped. They couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Han Li glanced at the green light that the hunchbacked old man turned into, and his expression was indifferent. A faint golden light flashed on his arm, and he blasted out a punch.
There was a sound of breaking air!
The void behind the hunchbacked old man flashed, and a golden fist the size of a head flashed out, and its speed was several times faster than the old man's escape.
"Ah!"
The hunchbacked old man's face changed drastically, and his body trembled. A black light appeared on the surface of his body, but the next moment, he was hit by the golden fist.
Boom!
The green ghost exploded, but there was no trace of flesh and blood, only a pile of white bones scattered in the sky.
At the same time, there was a fluctuation in the void dozens of miles away from here. A large black light appeared out of nowhere, and a figure staggered out of it. It was the hunchbacked old man.
He looked back with a face full of horror, and once again opened his mouth to spit out a green light, which turned into a rolling green flame that wrapped around his body. He flew into the distance and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Han Li's divine sense had already spread out, and the situation dozens of miles away was naturally covered by his divine sense. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly looked down at the green light on his body, and it was obviously a little dimmer than before.
Han Li's brows furrowed upon seeing this, and he gave up on the idea of continuing to pursue the horse-faced man. Instead, he waved a hand to release a burst of azure light, which swept up the horse-faced man's storage pouch before landing on the Spirit Moon Ark.
