Chapter 349: Escape to Yuanwu
As the voice echoed, Senior Uncle Huang’s Wind and Cloud Banner suddenly emitted a dazzling yellow light. The glow contracted and expanded before bursting apart.
Immediately, an even thicker and larger area of white mist erupted wildly from the banner, enveloping both friend and foe alike within an instant.
“Looking for death!”
Within the mist came the furious roar of the skeleton figure and the enraged yet coquettish laughter of the beautiful woman. Then, several thunderous strikes resounded inside the fog, clearly indicating that Senior Uncle Huang had engaged in combat with those two core formation stage cultivators.
Naturally, Han Li and the others wouldn’t miss this chance to escape. Almost the moment the mist appeared again, the cultivators from Yellow Maple Valley hurriedly soared off in all directions on their respective magical artifacts.
Han Li relied on the Divine Wind Boat’s incredible speed to ascend quickly into the sky.
This direction had the most cultivators and the densest enemy presence, but their magical power cultivation base was noticeably weaker than those in other directions. Han Li felt it was more suitable to break through from here.
However, not many shared his idea. Most of his fellow disciples chose to flee toward directions with fewer intercepting enemies, which made Han Li shake his head in disbelief.
In the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the chaos, Han Li dashed past several people and reached the edge of the encirclement.
The fog around here had thinned considerably, and the demonic path cultivators vaguely saw Han Li’s rushing figure.
But due to the Azure Flame Miasma, all they perceived was a large mass of bluish-red dense mist, which momentarily stunned them.
Immediately, three demonic path cultivators nearby raised their hands simultaneously—one released a golden light, another three yellow blades, and a vast expanse of black energy surged toward Han Li.
Han Li snorted softly, tapped the tortoise shell magical artifact before him with his finger, and the shell instantly expanded several times its size, moving forward to block the attack. At the same time, spiritual power from beneath flowed wildly into the artifact again, accelerating the Divine Wind Boat’s speed by another thirty percent.
He had already made up his mind: now was not the time for prolonged battle. He would rather consume extra magical power to escape as fast as possible. Otherwise, if more enemies closed in, it would be too late to run.
Moreover, he was confident in the tortoise shell magical artifact; after all, its hardness was superior even to the White Phosphorus Shield.
As Han Li’s thoughts shifted, the tortoise shell artifact collided with the golden light and yellow blades, successfully blocking them.
However, the remaining black mist was extremely cunning. Suddenly, it split into two, banging hard against the tortoise shell. Then, it slid past both sides of the shell, slightly delaying Han Li but still managing to reach his side.
There, it transformed into a huge ghost head, two to three zhang wide, fiercely attempting to devour Han Li on the Divine Wind Boat.
Seeing this, Han Li was not frightened but chuckled coldly in his heart. He then raised one hand, releasing over a hundred fireballs that instantly tore the ghost head to shreds.
At this point, Han Li had plenty of experience dealing with these low-level demonic path evil techniques.
Taking advantage of this, Han Li let out a sharp breath, flashing through the fragmented ghost heads, and in moments broke through the encirclement, leaving those demonic path cultivators far behind.
Those who failed did not give up easily; they shouted loudly and hurriedly pursued him from behind on their magical artifacts.
Han Li ignored them, only accelerating forward on the Divine Wind Boat.
As Han Li had guessed, the Divine Wind Boat was indeed a rare high-quality flying magical artifact. At first, he could hear curses from behind, but soon the sounds grew faint.
