A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 361: A Blunder

At that moment, Han Li, half embracing the masked woman, stood still in the air, his feet planted firmly on the Divine Wind Boat. Dong Xuan'er, her body glowing with a rosy light, stood directly in front of him.

“Junior Sister Dong, must you insist on fighting?” Han Li sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

“Han Li, if you want to get past me, your skills will have to surpass mine! I’ve always been curious—what kind of abilities do you really have, that my master Hongfu insists I marry you?” Dong Xuan’er said expressionlessly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes as she glanced at the masked woman who had passed out in Han Li’s arms.

“Besides, this person is a core formation stage cultivator of the Moon Veil Sect. You really think I would let you take her away so easily?” Dong Xuan'er’s delicate brows furrowed sharply, a murderous aura appearing on her face.

With the conversation having reached this point, Han Li no longer intended to waste words reminiscing about the past.

After all, the simple Illusion Formation hastily set up with formation flags couldn’t trap the Young Lord of the Ghost Spirit Sect and the other for long.

Thinking this, Han Li’s expression darkened as he said, “In that case, Miss Dong, don’t expect Han to show mercy!”

After saying this, Han Li shouted loudly, raising one hand. Two streams of black light and five streams of white light shot out simultaneously. At the same time, a tortoise shell magical artifact appeared before him, blocking the way. Then, four Puppet Beasts appeared on either side of his body, all opening their mouths wide and spraying four bowl-sized beams of light.

It was clear that once he made his move, Han Li intended to go all out, showing no sign of sparing the delicate female.

Seeing Han Li’s fierce offensive, Dong Xuan’er’s expression changed drastically.

But then, she bit her silver teeth, raised a jade hand, and conjured a pink gauze scarf. Red light continuously poured from both hands, merging with the scarf to form a huge glowing shield, shimmering with brilliant red light that enveloped her completely.

Dong Xuan’er was confident that no matter how fierce Han Li’s attack was, it would never break through the powerful shield formed by the fusion of the “Fire Phoenix Scarf” and her demonic technique.

Yet, just as Dong Xuan’er was brimming with confidence, the Divine Wind Boat beneath Han Li flashed with white light, and with a “whoosh,” both he and his magical artifact darted past Dong Xuan’er’s side.

The imposing attacking magical artifacts all turned out to be feints, immediately pivoting and swiftly following the white light in retreat.

Han Li actually fled without engaging in a single exchange.

This scene shocked Dong Xuan’er beyond belief! She stood dumbfounded, her face flushing with anger.

But just as she was about to pursue Han Li in a fury, the four beams of light from the Puppet Beasts struck.

With no other choice, Dong Xuan’er had to wait until the beams finished their attack before hastily retracting her shield. Han Li, meanwhile, had already steered the Divine Wind Boat, becoming a tiny black dot that was about to disappear altogether.

Of course, Dong Xuan’er was unwilling to be so easily toyed with. Relying on her own excellent escape technique, she ignored the four Puppet Beasts and gave chase.

However, after a short while, the black dot ahead flickered a few times before vanishing without a trace.

Dong Xuan’er scoured the vicinity in anger for a time but found not a single clue.

Helpless, she admitted defeat and returned despondently along her original path.

...

At this time, Han Li tightly held the masked woman and hid inside a mound of loose soil. A yellow light shield surrounded him, keeping all the dirt outside. Remarkably, he did not feel suffocated at all—a truly miraculous sensation.

Han Li hadn’t expected that the low-grade talisman he had personally crafted, the Trap Ground Talisman, would actually come in handy someday. It seemed that carrying all his talismans with him had indeed been the right decision.
