Han Li frowned as he looked at the silhouette in the white mist, which was similar to his own silhouette.
White mist gently roiled around the silhouette's palm. It surged and lengthened bit by bit, condensing into a longsword once more.
"Just what is this?" Han Li was puzzled. A blue light lit up in his eyes.
With his Spirit Eye ability, he could see that the white silhouettes were hazy. There was a ball of light within their bodies that fluctuated and shrank rhythmically.
The silhouette fighting against Daoist Hu Yan had a crimson ball of light. The silhouette fighting against Luo Qinghai had an aqua blue ball of light. As for the one in front of Han Li, it was a faint gold ball of light.
But apart from that, he couldn't see anything strange about the silhouettes formed from white mist.
Just as Han Li was hesitating about whether or not he should summon the Wheel of Truth and examine them with his Eye of Truth, a weak voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
The speaker was none other than Nanke Meng.
In reality, her voice rang out in everyone's ears at this moment.
"Seniors, those white mist silhouettes don't have physical bodies. Their bodies contain the power of laws that correspond to each and every one of you.
Above their heads, there's a thin white line that can't be seen with the naked eye. It's connected to the supervisory Immortal Envoy's finger, and above their hearts, there's also a line that connects to the back of your hearts. "
When Han Li heard this, he tilted his head slightly and looked down at Gong Shujiu's folded arms.
Sure enough, the five fingers on his left hand were trembling slightly, almost imperceptibly. That movement was like a puppet performer in the secular world, performing with strings.
As Han Li carefully swung his sword to fight the white mist silhouettes, he once again examined the situation around him. To his surprise, he discovered that the silhouette fighting against Daoist Hu Yan had the power of fire, while the silhouette fighting against Luo Qinghai had the power of the ocean.
He raised his eyebrows and came to a sudden realization.
"Fellow Daoists, don't waste your energy fighting these figures in the white mist. They're all reflections of us created by the inspectors through the Laws of Air, so their auras are exactly the same as ours. It won't be easy for us to defeat them," Han Li reminded them through voice transmission.
"After Meng 'er's reminder, I figured it out. However, this thing even has the same power of laws as us, so how can we defeat it?" Luo Qinghai replied.
"Don't waste the power of law anymore. These reflections are connected to our bodies by the mist channel. The power of law they use is stolen from us," Han Li continued.
"So that's the case. No wonder this old man felt that the flame energy in my body was being consumed so quickly.
His speed is more than twice as fast as usual. "Daoist Huyan was shocked, and hastily transmitted his voice.
"He wants us to exhaust ourselves. Once the power of the laws is exhausted, it will be our time of death," Jiao San, who had turned into an old woman, transmitted her voice to them.
"Fellow Li, since you've discovered the problem, do you have a way to solve it?" Fellow Chi San's skin had turned dark red, as if he was bathed in blood.
"These figures in the white mist don't have consciousness, so they aren't moving on their own. Instead, they're being controlled by the inspectors to attack. After all, the essence of this technique is sustained by his Laws of Air.
We only need to temporarily stop using the power of laws and attack Gongshu Jiu's body with all our might. We might be able to resolve this situation, "Han Li replied.
Instead of waiting for death, why not fight! "Daoist Huyan was the first to express his opinion.
"We'll do as you say," Luo Qinghai said as he looked at Nanke Meng and saw her nod at him.
Jiao San and Chi Li Jiao also expressed their agreement.
After the five of them had decided on a plan, they immediately took action. The scarlet flames on Daoist Huyan's body extinguished, and his body spun in mid-air like a tornado, piercing towards the figure in the white mist in front of him.
The flames on the figure's body extinguished, and it charged towards Daoist Huyan in the same manner.
The two collided in mid-air, creating a heaven-shaking rumble.
As Daoist Huyan flew backwards, he borrowed the force of the recoil to rush towards Gongshu Jiu.
Almost at the same time, Luo Qinghai and the others also used various methods to break free from the white figures in front of them. They flew from different directions and rushed towards Gongshu Jiu.
When Gongshu Jiu saw this, he raised his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
"My Qi Shadow Technique has been discovered? It seems that I've underestimated you … But, so what?" He sighed softly and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled back with his left hand, and the sound of wind suddenly rang through the air.
The white figures were immediately pulled back by a great force, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of Daoist Huyan and the others.
"Do you think that not using the power of laws will make a difference?
You still don't have the slightest chance of winning … "Gongshu Jiu said, as if he was a cat chasing after a mouse.
At this moment, golden ripples suddenly appeared in the air behind him. Han Li's figure suddenly appeared, and the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword in his hand swept out, slashing towards Gongshu Jiu's waist.
Just as the azure sword flashed with golden lightning, and was about to slash into Gongshu Jiu's waist, Gongshu Jiu's figure suddenly flashed with white light, and he disappeared. What replaced him was the white fog reflection of Han Li.
In the nick of time, he had swapped places with the figure in the white fog.
The white fog figure was swept by the sword, and was instantly torn in half by the lightning sword qi. Then, it dissipated.
In the air not far away, Gongshu Jiu's figure appeared. When he saw this, his pupils slightly shrank, and the veins on his face bulged. He was finally enraged.
He frowned, looked at Han Li, and asked, "The power of laws of time … You're surnamed Li?"
Han Li did not answer, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. Just now, he didn't manage to kill him in one strike.
Gongshu Jiu's tone became colder and colder as he slowly asked, "I heard that the person who killed Elder Tao's son, Tao Yu, was surnamed Li. He also cultivated the 'True Word Reincarnation Scripture', a time cultivation method. Could it be you?"
"That's right, I killed that guy." Han Li grinned and generously admitted.
"You can still smile now. When I bring you back and hand you over to Elder Tao, you won't be able to smile anymore.
His best method is to extract the soul essence of a Nascent Soul to refine a Nascent Soul Lamp. When the time comes, he will light you on the altar of Tao Yu's memorial tablet, and you will burn for at least a hundred thousand years.
That taste … How should I describe it?
Perhaps in comparison, you will hope to be refined into a Golden Soul Pill. "Gongshu Jiu's previously amiable expression changed, and the smile on his face became even more sinister as he said in a low voice.
"I have tasted the taste of a Golden Soul Pill. I just don't know what kind of pill Yuxian's Nascent Soul can refine into.
How does it taste? "Han Li's expression didn't change, and he said with a smile.
Finished speaking, he took a step forward, swung his longsword, and took the initiative to attack Gongshu Jiu.
Gongshu Jiu's expression suddenly darkened. The fingers of his left hand moved, and he continued to control the white mist figure to tangle with Daoist Huyan and the others. His right hand grasped the void, and a slender longsword that was as lustrous as jade appeared.
As the longsword moved, a hazy airflow seemed to surge through the void, turning into a slender blade that was comparable to sword energy, and it slashed towards Han Li.
Han Li's eyes shone with a deep blue light. He could clearly see the trajectory of these airflow blades, and he could also feel the fluctuations coming from them.
He swung the longsword in his hand again and again, and layers of azure sword energy enveloped him like protective spirit light, blocking the airflow blades three feet away from him.
Han Li couldn't help but be amazed. The power of law was divided into strong and weak, and there were also people who used it. However, the person in front of him could use the law of air to such a level. It was truly not something that Golden Immortal level cultivators like them could compare with.
Due to the suppression of Gongshu Jiu's Spirit Domain, Han Li spent a lot of effort to break through the layers of airflow blades and shorten the distance between him and Gongshu Jiu.
He made a sword sign with one hand, and the longsword in his hand danced in the air. Layers of azure sword energy condensed into sword shadows that bloomed like a lotus flower, and then shot towards Gongshu Jiu like a storm.
Gongshu Jiu frowned slightly, and he held his sword horizontally in front of him. His wrist twisted, and the edge of the sword swept in front of him like a fan. A huge white wall of air suddenly appeared in the void.
Inside the hall, the sounds of clanging were unceasing.
The azure sword shadows pierced the white wall of air one after another, but they couldn't penetrate three inches into the wall. They were all blocked behind.
"It seems that I overestimated you …" Seeing this, Gongshu Jiu was a little disappointed.
Han Li's mouth curved into a smile. He raised his hand and lightly flicked the body of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword.
All the azure sword shadows shone brightly at the same time and exploded.
An incomparably violent wave of Qi, a mixture of green and white colors, suddenly spread out in a huge arc, sweeping in all directions.
Wherever the air wave passed, the void shook endlessly, and the entire hall shook violently.
This domed golden hall originally used the Jade Pill Cauldron as its core. In the end, the cauldron was eaten by Jin Tong, and the engraved formations in the hall were almost destroyed. At this moment, under the impact of the huge force, there were some faint cracks on the walls.
Gongshu Jiu was the closest to the explosion. His body was pushed back by the air wave, and he couldn't help but "???".
Before he could stabilize himself, a crimson figure suddenly flashed behind him.
Gongshu Jiu's mind focused, and his body suddenly twisted at a strange angle. Looking over, he saw that it was Daoist Hu Yan holding a flaming longsword, slashing down towards his head.
He immediately raised the slender longsword in his right hand, and blocked the slashing Daoist Hu Yan personality.
"Clang!" A sharp sound rang out!
The brilliant scarlet flame and the invisible air wave fiercely collided. Sword energy surged, and flames shot in all directions.
Just as the two swords collided, something strange happened again.
From the bag on Daoist Hu Yan's back, a scarlet light suddenly shone, and a scarlet red gourd suddenly flew out. The mouth of the gourd slanted downwards, facing Gongshu Jiu, and stopped above their heads.
The ancient seal characters on the surface of the gourd flickered. The gourd was completely red, and it emitted waves of scorching air.
"This is …" Han Li's heart moved, and he murmured.
