Chapter 732: Twin-Tailed Serpent
A cold glint flashed in Han Li’s eyes. His hands, controlling the golden electric arcs, suddenly trembled fiercely. Golden light burst forth as the electric net exploded.
Countless arcs of electricity leaped and bounced, forming an electric light net three parts denser and tighter than before. In an instant, it rapidly contracted again.
Because of this, the black threads that were shot out naturally collided with the golden arc.
A loud crackling sound erupted. Under the fierce strike of the golden arc, the black threads turned into countless strands of black smoke rising within the net, accompanied by intermittent screams of agony and wails, piercingly intense.
Then, the black threads timidly retreated back to the center of the golden net, gathering into a glossy, pitch-black, monstrous infant, its face full of terror and fear. Suddenly, it opened its mouth, and waves of ink-black sinister energy spewed forth, rapidly wrapping layer upon layer around itself, desperately trying to resist the approaching evil-repelling divine thunder.
Han Li’s expression was cold and indifferent, a mocking smile flickering at the corner of his mouth. The golden arc he wielded suddenly thickened by three parts, the electric arc dazzling and blinding, making it hard to look directly at.
The screams within the electric light resumed, then gradually lessened amid the rumbling thunder, and after a moment fell silent.
Seeing this, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. With a flick and contraction of the golden arc in his hand, he wrapped a pitch-black storage pouch and brought it into his grasp.
Then he looked up at the sky briefly, expressionless. His figure flickered slightly as a blue spiritual light rose again, transforming into an azure rainbow that shot swiftly back.
From the few words exchanged between Han Li and the Man in the Black Robe, to Han Li releasing the evil-repelling divine thunder to eliminate the opponent, the entire process took only the blink of an eye.
Not only were the burly men with shaved eyebrows and Elder Ma below dumbfounded, even the tall and lean spellmaster and Kuyao—the two grand masters of Mulan above—stood frozen, unable to believe what had just happened.
It must be known that cultivators in Tian Nan were unaware of the true background of the Man in the Black Robe, but they knew quite a bit.
These mysterious cultivators hailed from the vast empire on the other side of the Mu Lan Prairie. Though it was unclear why they suddenly came to the Mu Lan Prairie and what conditions they had reached with the divine masters of Mulan’s three major tribes, they had indeed stepped in to assist.
There was no doubt that their cultivation techniques and magical abilities far surpassed those of cultivators at the same level in the Tian Nan immortal cultivation world.
Even before the real battle began, two nascent soul cultivators from Tian Nan had already been wiped out by them, which earned the two Mulan grand masters’ considerable trust in the people in black robes.
The reason the black-robed people appeared in this second fight was because they thought there were too many nascent soul cultivators guarding the restraining great formation; it would be best to catch the enemy off-guard and eliminate or severely injure one first.
But who would have known that an apparently ordinary young cultivator suddenly emerged and swiftly wiped out the black-robed cultivators in just a few moves? Even the nascent souls didn’t manage to escape. How could the two grand masters not be shocked!
The tall and lean spellmaster and Kuyao finally snapped out of their disbelief, exchanging horrified glances, their faces revealing hesitation. They didn’t know whether to continue sending challengers or to order the spellmasters behind them to charge altogether.
At that moment, they suddenly heard a few faint words, nearly inaudible.
“Today’s momentum has been broken. Temporarily retreat. We will return tomorrow. By then, this formation might have already... heh heh! As for Tian Ku’s death, that might be troublesome, but I will explain it to the divine masters.”
