Chapter 360: Ambushed on the Way
Dong Xuan’er, who had been standing alongside the strange man, was instantly enveloped by the man’s radiant light shield. The three of them rapidly retreated together.
A vengeful strike from a core formation stage cultivator was not something the three of them could withstand!
The sky was filled with white sword light, which, under the masked woman’s manipulation, chased forward for more than ten yards before suddenly dispersing without a trace.
At the same time, the woman standing on the magical artifact swayed a few times, appearing as if she might fall at any moment.
Seeing this, the handsome man and the Young Lord of the Ghost Spirit Sect rejoiced, and hurried forward as they switched from retreat to assault.
Han Li’s expression below shifted slightly. Without hesitation, he slapped his storage bag, and thirteen red thread light-escape needles automatically leaped into his hands, which he gripped tightly.
Even if acting now was dangerous, Han Li could not just watch Nangong Wan suffer injury and loss.
After all, no matter how selfish and cold he was, he was not completely heartless or indifferent. Moreover, he was confident that although he might not yet be a match for the two Young Lords of the Ghost Spirit Sect, if his goal was purely to escape, he still had more than enough ability.
Just as Han Li raised his hand, preparing to release the flying needles to save the masked woman, the situation in the sky suddenly deteriorated and changed drastically.
The masked woman, who had been unstable on the sword, suddenly steadied herself as Wang Chan and company approached, her eyes flashing coldly.
Wang Chan and the handsome man’s faces darkened—they immediately knew they had been tricked.
But when they tried to turn back and escape, it was already too late.
The woman raised both hands, and countless soaring sword auras flew out again, the dazzling white light completely engulfing the three of them.
Seeing this, Han Li felt relieved and slightly loosened his grip on the magical artifact in his hand.
At this moment, the entire sky was bathed in the gray-white light of the masked woman’s sword glow, and among the blood mist and radiance in the white light, though the figures appeared as fragile as a small boat in a raging storm, they stubbornly endured, drifting along with the waves.
Especially the handsome man and Dong Xuan’er within the radiance—both shot out strange blue and red lights with their hands that surprisingly countered the fierce sword light assault.
This situation caused Han Li to furrow his brows lightly. After pondering for a moment, he silently vanished from his original spot.
At the same time, the masked woman in the sky was extremely anxious!
Although she had trapped these two demonic path juniors with her stratagem, the current level of attack was unexpectedly too much for her to overcome these three at once.
Not long ago, she had fought a core formation stage cultivator from the demonic path, and after exhausting her magical power, nearly died alongside her opponent.
Although she had eventually escaped the encirclement, her injuries were severe enough to alarm even herself deeply.
Worse still, the magical treasure closely linked to her primordial spirit was severely damaged in the battle and could not be used for some time.
Moreover, because of pursuing enemies, she reluctantly used a secret technique that greatly drained her vitality, forcibly extracting part of her internal potential to trigger a trace of spiritual power to resist the artifact and flee.
Unexpectedly, although she had shaken off most of the demonic path pursuers, these three had unique demonic skills that allowed them to follow closely.
Under such circumstances, she had no choice but to try to eliminate these three. Otherwise, once the secret technique’s effect faded, even as a core formation stage cultivator, she would be at their mercy.
She had stopped here because her spiritual awareness had sensed a cultivator nearby. Although she did not know who it was, there was definitely no demonic path aura on this person.
