Chapter 442: Ghost King (4)

The black azure giant tiger, upon seeing the flood dragon formed by the green bamboo bee cloud sword coil around and attack it, flashed a fierce light in its eyes. With a low roar, it opened its huge blood-red mouth and continuously spat out more than a dozen black light spheres, each the size of a head, charging toward the Azure Flood Dragon.

The two flood dragon phantoms managed to shred and tear apart several of the incoming light spheres with both mouth and claws. But by the time the seventh and eighth spheres arrived, they could no longer hold back.

With a mournful cry, the flood dragon’s image was shattered by a few light spheres, revealing the true form of the flying sword.

The two flying swords were knocked away by the following light spheres, flying more than ten yards and rolling multiple times before stopping.

At the same time, the azure light above greatly diminished, as if the spiritual energy had suffered some damage.

Han Li felt a slight pang of regret and quickly extended his finger to tap. The two flying swords transformed into azure light and shot back, being recalled into his body to recuperate.

Simultaneously, with his other hand stretched out, he released four more flying swords of the same azure hue, which flashed and slashed toward the giant tiger.

The ghostly shadow standing behind the giant tiger showed some helplessness upon seeing this.

It took a deep breath and let out an extremely piercing and shrill howl.

Upon hearing the sound, the demonic tiger immediately lowered its head slightly, twisted its neck, and deeply embedded its two front claws into the ground.

Then, a surprising scene unfolded!

One side of the giant tiger’s head bulged high, and after a flash of black light, a slightly smaller tiger head suddenly appeared there, transforming the beast into a two-headed monstrous tiger!

With the appearance of the second tiger head, the demonic aura on the tiger surged wildly, causing Han Li to furrow his brows deeply.

At this moment, the tiger’s artifact spirit mercilessly opened both tiger heads’ huge mouths simultaneously, spitting out dense black light spheres one after another, fiercely swarming toward Han Li.

Han Li dared not slacken, quickly forming a spell formation. The four flying swords mid-air violently trembled and multiplied into eight.

Then, with a surge in brilliance, the eight flying swords converged into a single azure greatsword several dozen feet long.

Han Li gazed at the sword, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and expelled a mouthful of pure true energy, transforming into a misty azure glow, which was sprayed onto the broad blade of the greatsword.

Instantly, the greatsword emitted a long, clear ringing sound, radiating dazzling light, transforming into an azure banner more than ten yards long. It fiercely slashed at the black light spheres, faintly emitting sounds like wind and thunder.

The clash of the azure and black glows caused sparks to fly, explosions to erupt one after another — an astonishing spectacle.

The azure greatsword cut through many light spheres in a single blow, demonstrating incredible valor.

But the black light spheres kept pouring out endlessly, rushing forth from the two tiger heads without any sign of stopping, seemingly infinite in number!

This situation caused Han Li’s expression to darken, somewhat surprised.

He was just pondering whether to unleash other spells to shatter the opponent or release more flying swords when, about ten yards behind him, the air slightly rippled. Then, that faint gray ghostly shadow silently appeared there.

Its whole body emitted no unusual aura except for a pair of blood-red eyes.

Han Li seemed completely unaware of this anomaly behind him.

The gray shadow glanced at the flying insects floating around Han Li, its red eyes flashing several times. Suddenly, it leapt forward, transforming into a slender gray rainbow, silently shooting toward Han Li’s back, aiming to grasp and shatter his golden core.
