Chapter 83: Spiritual Fusion Talisman
Han Li felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Despite being extremely cautious and careful, he was ambushed by others—worse yet, in the most unfavorable situation: outnumbered!
At this moment, he was in a place known in the records as the “Narrow Sky Passage.” The environment was extremely treacherous. Without flying on a magical artifact, the entire area had only this narrow path leading to the central zone.
On both sides of the path stood towering, steep peaks. Even someone like Han Li, who possessed worldly martial arts and was skilled in light body techniques, dared not attempt to climb them easily!
As for flying over on a magical artifact from above, that was out of the question—it would be suicidal, blatantly making oneself a target for attack. No disciple of any sect would do such a foolish thing! The painful experiences of their predecessors had also taught them this: flying with magical artifacts was strictly forbidden within the Forbidden Zone, lest they end up dead.
Han Li hesitated for a long time upon entering this place but ultimately didn’t dare take a shortcut by flying over the peaks. So, he obediently followed the narrow path on foot, moving slowly.
Of course, given the danger here, Han Li was extra cautious—twice as vigilant. Throughout the journey, his nerves were tightly wound. Yet, just as he stepped out of the path’s exit and before he could relax, without any warning, these two men blocked both his front and rear escape routes.
Seeing the fierce expression of the bearded man, Han Li knew that talking his way out now would be useless. He immediately released a defensive water shield on his body, then activated the Flying Heaven Shield, and gripped the “Golden Toad Mother and Child Blades” magical artifact in his hand. He also readied one of his few high-level talismans: the “Earth Prison Technique.”
The bearded man and the one behind him watched Han Li’s every move coldly, showing no intention of stopping or attacking yet. They seemed confident, fully assured they could handle Han Li, which explained their composure.
No wonder! The man behind looked to be at the peak of the thirteenth layer, not to mention the bearded man’s own thirteenth-layer cultivation method. Facing Han Li, a mere eleventh-layer novice, they felt completely certain of an easy victory.
Han Li licked his slightly dry lips and sneered inwardly. Since the opponents were so arrogant, he would make full use of this.
Without revealing his thoughts, Han Li moved slightly to one side, positioning himself so that the two men formed a pincer around him, preventing attacks from behind. Unsurprisingly, the two did not seize the chance to strike.
Despite facing the strongest enemies since entering the immortal cultivation world, Han Li was not particularly afraid.
Although he tried to avoid hard battles, this did not mean he lacked confidence. He admitted his magical power was weaker, making prolonged combat unfavorable. But his top-tier magical artifacts and talisman treasures made up for this.
Besides, if things got desperate, he could unleash the “Heavenly Thunder Seed” to take out one opponent with ease.
Whether he was willing to use it, however, was another matter.
Han Li was also puzzled why the bearded man and the Sky Gate Fortress disciple hadn’t fought each other but had teamed up instead. It would be normal for senior brothers of the same sect to cooperate. But these two clearly belonged to different sects!
“Kid, you’ve got some nerve! Teasing me outside the Forbidden Zone, even exchanging glances with that slut. Now you’ll pay for it with your life!” the bearded man snarled.
Then he turned to the Sky Gate Fortress disciple and said, “Brother Yan, this kid and I have a grudge. Just hand him over to me alone—I want to give him a proper lesson. Make him realize that the immortal cultivation world is not an easy place! Next time you offend someone, better keep your eyes wide open first!”
