Chapter 591: Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique
Not long after, even Mei Ning heard footsteps coming and going lightly and heavily, someone slowly approaching.
Her delicate face showed a hint of unease as she glanced at Han Li.
But Han Li’s expression remained calm as usual. He stood motionless, yet seemed to sense her gaze and turned to smile at her gently.
Mei Ning couldn’t help but blush slightly and quickly averted her eyes, but her heart settled at once.
The footsteps became clearer, and they could even distinctly hear faint breaths from the approaching party.
What surprised Han Li was that it didn’t sound like just one person; it seemed like two people coming, one behind the other.
Han Li frowned, a faint trace of killing intent appearing on his face.
Suddenly, the dense mist in front of him parted, and a young man wearing a tall crown stepped out.
This man had a refined face and wore a jade-green belt around his waist, faint white light flickering from it.
However, as soon as the man saw Han Li, his expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed in shock.
“It’s you?”
This person was none other than Wen Tianren, the heir of the six paths, his face full of astonishment.
“It really is me. You can leave safely now!” Han Li said expressionlessly. At the same time, he raised his right hand, azure light flashing, and a small sword shot out with a “whoosh,” stabbing straight into Wen Tianren’s chest.
There was a light “clang” sound. The small sword struck what sounded like iron armor and was easily deflected, falling to the ground. From the torn clothing, faint green light flickered within.
“Inner Armor?”
Han Li was somewhat surprised that his attack failed, but after coldly snorting, he raised his other hand, shooting out another beam of azure light.
This time, he aimed for the exposed throat area.
But Wen Tianren had reacted by then. Furious and unwilling to die on the spot, he suddenly twisted his body to dodge the incoming azure light and used his legs to push off forcefully, flying swiftly back into the dense mist, moving with remarkable agility.
Han Li’s second attack missed again, but he coldly watched Wen Tianren’s fleeing figure, not moving a muscle. A sneer curled on the corner of his mouth.
Wen Tianren hastily glanced back, sensing trouble from Han Li’s expression. He immediately tried to change his posture midair, but it was too late.
A sharp cold wind suddenly struck the back of his neck. In an instant, a chill spread there as a small sword pierced through from behind his neck. The sword handle was wrapped tightly with a translucent sinew-like beast sinew, which was now pulled taut.
Wen Tianren’s body, trailing a line of fresh blood, fell heavily to the ground.
His eyes were wide open, seemingly still in disbelief at his own death.
Han Li’s expression remained unchanged as his right hand lightly twitched. Under the tension and release of the sinew wrapped around his fingers, the obedient small sword shot back into his palm.
At this moment, Han Li narrowed his eyes and stared back into the mist.
A slender figure flickered, and another person slowly stepped out from the fog—it was a stunning young woman clad in white.
She smiled charmingly at Han Li, her radiant beauty dazzling, and lightly said,
“Brother Han! I didn’t expect that we’d meet again.”
“Miss Zi Ling!” Han Li nodded calmly. With a flick of his sleeves, the two small swords in his hands instantly vanished.
When he was once trapped in the golden flame, he had overheard the conversation between Wen Tianren and Zi Ling, so naturally, he recognized the greatly changed Zi Ling immortal maiden.
He had to admit that the true-face Zi Ling fully deserved her great fame throughout the Chaotic Star Sea. In terms of beauty alone, even the alluring Yuan Yao seemed somewhat inferior.
However, now the elegant and refined young woman glanced at the corpse on the ground and sighed softly.
“I truly didn’t expect Wen, the young lord who always claimed to be the best in the core formation stage, to die at the hands of a fellow cultivator like you in this manner. If others knew, most wouldn’t believe it.”
