Chapter 570: Fierce Battle
Countless golddevourer worms swarmed out of the pouch, instantly forming a massive tri-colored insect swarm that spread over Han Li’s head, spanning some twenty or thirty zhang. The sight was incredibly intimidating.
“Eh!” A voice of surprise rang out.
A cold light flashed in Han Li’s eyes. His gaze shifted and landed on a stunning young woman in the distance.
The woman covered her cherry-like lips with one hand, her eyes full of astonishment, mixed with a subtle hint of delight that was hard to describe.
Han Li was momentarily stunned, still unsure why she wore such an expression, when suddenly, two thunderous roars erupted from another direction.
Startled, he had no time to be distracted and quickly turned his gaze over there.
From the purple clouds flew out a bronze ancient shield emitting a white light, effortlessly blocking the attacks of two Greatswords.
Seeing this, Han Li silently sighed in his heart.
He had never had the time to refine these flying swords properly, so despite their special materials, their power was only comparable to ordinary magical treasures of pill cultivators.
But now that his cultivation base had advanced to the late foundation formation stage, the power of the green bamboo bee cloud swords was clearly insufficient for his level. Even when using the greatsword technique, they posed little threat to cultivators of his rank.
Thinking this, Han Li sent a mental command. The two flying swords kept wildly attacking the purple cloud from above and below, but the ancient shield blocked them one by one.
At that moment, low humming sounds escaped from Han Li’s mouth. The golddevourer worm army above his head buzzed in response, then transformed into a huge insect cloud, fiercely rolling towards the purple cloud.
Though he didn’t know what the purple cloud was, given the golddevourer worms’ innate ability to devour anything, the swarm would undoubtedly overwhelm it.
“Hmph! Insect repelling technique? You really want to die!” Wen Tianren inside the purple cloud sneered coldly when he saw the terrifying insect cloud descending. He showed no fear, only contempt.
Han Li heard this and was secretly pleased rather than angry.
If the opponent regarded the golddevourer worms as ordinary spiritual insects, he was courting death! Surely, the moment the swarm landed on the purple cloud would be the opponent’s end.
Han Li smirked inwardly. As the insect cloud descended onto the purple cloud, Wen Tianren suddenly lightly exhaled the word “Go.”
An astonishing scene unfolded!
Golden light flashed suddenly within the purple cloud, then countless golden threads shot out in all directions, piercing into the approaching insect cloud.
Soon, a chorus of popping sounds filled the air as countless insect corpses fell densely like raindrops.
These golden threads seemed to be the nemesis of the golddevourer worms. The worms’ bodies, which were normally hard to harm with magical treasures, were shattered by these threads, unable to resist at all.
Han Li was both shocked and furious at the sight, quickly letting out a sharp whistle.
Hearing this, the insect swarm immediately turned and fled.
But the golden threads didn’t let up, following the swarm all the way, and more insects continued to fall from the sky.
Han Li’s face darkened. Without thinking, he slapped his storage pouch and flipped his hand. A Flower Basket Ancient Treasure appeared in his palm.
Without hesitation, he threw the flower basket into the air.
In an instant, a flash of white light appeared and the flower basket transformed into a cloud of white vapor, directly heading toward the golden threads.
Seeing the white vapor seemingly letting the insect swarm pass through, darting straight into the golden threads, Han Li’s eyes flickered with surprise. He quickly formed a spell formation with both hands, causing the white vapor to spin rapidly and emit a dazzling light.
The golden threads, once aimed at the insect swarm, paused abruptly when covered by the white light shield, their speed instantly slowed.
