A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 322: Liu Jing and the "True Talisman"

Han Li was extremely annoyed!

It wasn’t because he had momentarily softened his heart and saved Senior Brother Wang, forcing him to use the luo smoke step to battle the demon, but rather because Liu Jing and the others hadn’t taken the opportunity to first eliminate the other blood attendants still in their transformation cocoons. If those three fully transformed, that would be a real disaster.

Just now, he saw Senior Brother Wang about to fall victim to the ice demon’s deadly hands. Considering the favor Senior Brother Wang had shown in assisting Qingwen during the previous battle, Han Li instantly dashed over to save him.

Afterward, the demon probably thought Han Li had spoiled his fun and clung onto him, attacking repeatedly, forcing Han Li to respond. But soon, Han Li realized that the ice demon was indeed very troublesome for the others, so it was better if he handled it himself. After all, if more allies fell, their manpower for the upcoming battles would be insufficient.

Now that he was occupied with this demon, he was surprised to see the others merely watching their fight without seizing the chance to attack the other three cocoons. Wasn’t this a wasted golden opportunity?

However, he vaguely guessed that the others might not be unaware of the chance, but rather afraid because the ice demon’s strange invisibility and the deaths it caused had everyone worried about the other blood attendants undergoing their half-demon transformations. So although they knew fully transformed blood attendants would be more dangerous, they were still hesitant, maybe even considering retreat.

But Han Li had come here not just to simply wipe out the Black Death Cult — he had a specific purpose and wouldn’t back down so easily. Moreover, although this half-demon ice demon had just emerged from its cocoon and killed one of their side, with some caution it wasn’t too difficult. In Han Li’s eyes, this demon was actually less troublesome than the bald burly man he had encountered before, who had been far harder to deal with.

This demon merely made its body transparent, allowing it to move at incredible speed and manipulate some cold air. Its so-called invisibility was just an illusion created by its rapid movement, similar to Han Li’s own luo smoke step. The transparency made it even harder to detect.

However, this strange movement technique only revealed its power on the ground. Once the others flew into the air and put distance between themselves and the demon, casting wide-range spells, the demon would be forced to show itself. After all, rapid movement of the physical body could only dominate short distances; over longer ranges, it couldn’t keep up with cultivators flying on magical artifacts.

Liu Jing and the others had never experienced such close-quarters combat before and naturally felt the opponent was like a ghost—extremely hard to fight against. But since Han Li often fought this way, he was very experienced in handling it.

With this in mind, Han Li suddenly swung his Silver Sword, striking back the demon’s claws. He then appeared clearly and shouted loudly:

“Senior Brother Liu, fly up into the sky quickly and continue attacking the three blood attendants. I won’t let this demon harass you anymore.”

After saying this, Han Li’s figure flashed and disappeared. In reality, his Silver Sword, moving so fast it was invisible, was forcing the ice demon to retreat repeatedly, leaving it no chance to take flight.

The Silver Sword Han Li wielded was a prize from the Blood Trial. It could block the opponent’s claws without damage. However, the sword couldn’t harm the demon’s icy claws at all, which amazed Han Li greatly.

Hearing Han Li’s words, Liu Jing thought for a moment and understood his meaning, yet hesitation showed clearly on his face. His heart was in turmoil!

Although Liu Jing was born into a prominent immortal cultivation family, he had been kidnapped by heretical cultivators as a child and endured a dark period of torture and suffering, nearly losing his life. Fortunately, his family rescued him, and he later studied under Li Huayuan and made great progress in cultivation.
