Chapter 691: Ice Sealing
Just as Elder Mu was greatly shocked in his heart and began to harbor thoughts of retreat, Han Li gazed at the black mountain peak, a trace of interest appearing on his face.
Such a rare and astonishing treasure was obviously not something an ordinary elder could forge; it was most likely some incredible ancient treasure left behind by an ancient cultivator.
Judging by the power of this treasure, Han Li believed that even a late nascent soul stage cultivator would be unable to emerge unscathed if struck by this mountain peak.
If it could hit, it was almost a one-hit decisive move.
If he could get his hands on this treasure, it would immediately make up for the shortcomings in his own attack power.
Moreover, he had also developed some interest in the wind-riding wheel that the elder held.
With these thoughts, Han Li’s gaze shifted to the elder, his expression gradually turning icy cold, and a fierce killing intent flickered deep in his eyes.
Though they had only exchanged blows a few times, he was confident he had a rough understanding of the elder’s cultivation techniques.
Perhaps it was just bad luck for the elder — the cultivation methods and spiritual techniques he specialized in were all ice attribute. But for Han Li, who had absorbed the qian blue ice flame, this posed little threat. Just now, many ice shards had attacked him, but they were effortlessly dissolved into nothingness by the ice flowers formed from the qian blue ice flame.
And that black mountain peak capable of instantaneous movement should be the elder’s most powerful treasure. But under the thunder escape technique of the Wind Thunder Wings, it was completely ineffective against Han Li.
In this light, eliminating the elder was not an impossible feat.
With his plan set, Han Li no longer hesitated.
He shook the single hand holding the ice flower, and after blue light flickered, the ice flower rapidly transformed and melted, becoming a cluster of blue flame about the size of an egg, floating uncertainly in his palm, exuding a strange aura.
With his other hand, Han Li simultaneously pointed at the giant sword and the silver bell suspended in the air. Then, thunder rumbled behind him. His wings fluttered slightly, and his figure instantly vanished. The next moment, he reappeared within a hundred meters of the elder, holding the blue flame in his hand.
At the same time, the giant sword and silver bell radiated dazzling light, transforming into one silver and one azure stream of light, rushing toward the elder.
The giant sword suddenly fragmented mid-flight, once again becoming hundreds of azure sword qi streams about a foot long, raining down like a storm, immediately trapping the elder within a sea of swords.
The azure light flickered continuously, with the sword qi fiercely stabbing at the elder’s protective light veil.
Meanwhile, the silver bell emitted wave after wave of silver sound waves, shaking the light veil violently.
This continuous barrage surprised the elder somewhat, but he remained calm. Besides pouring a large amount of spiritual power into the spirit orb atop his head to thicken the protective light veil around him, he quickly formed hand seals with one hand. Blue spiritual light flickered on his body before shooting out.
After spinning for a while, the spiritual light transformed into four crystal-clear ice shields several feet in size, small and exquisite, rotating slowly, shielding the elder inside.
With the protection of these ice shields, the elder finally felt a sense of relief. The other hand promptly beckoned to the distant black mountain peak, which then transformed into a black rainbow and shot back at him.
Of course, he was equally wary of Han Li’s instantaneous movement. His eyes shone sharply as he kept glancing left and right, fearing Han Li would suddenly appear nearby to launch a sneak attack.
Truly worthy of being a nascent soul stage spellmaster, his experience in combat was indeed rich.
As the rumbling sounded again, Han Li appeared beside the elder within a dozen meters in a flash of lightning. Raising his hand, countless azure threads sprayed wildly from it — the extremely sharp “azure abyss needles” Talisman Treasures.
