Chapter 739: The Battle to Break the Formation (4)
Han Li lifted a cyan orb above his head and casually formed a spell formation on it.
Immediately, the treasure radiated brilliant light, countless threads of light bursting forth, instantly piercing through the dense fog within a hundred or so meters, transforming into gusts of bluish-green fierce wind.
After a violent swirl, the thick fog was blown away, and everything nearby became clearly visible.
The green-clad woman raised her delicate brows. Not far away, about several dozen meters off, a young man in a blue robe stood silently, continuously appraising her from head to toe with no expression on his face.
It was none other than Han Li, who had been waiting for a long time!
A cold glint flashed across the woman's face. With her bright eyes shifting, her spiritual awareness swept the surroundings. Then, frowning, she glanced upward twice.
In the sky, several dozen meters above, a dazzling golden cloud floated silently.
After focusing carefully to see the true form of the golden cloud, her expression changed drastically.
"Golddevourer worms! So the cultivator who commands the spiritual insects is you as well," the green-clad woman softly breathed, her cherry lips murmuring. But within her beautiful eyes, an icy chill deepened.
"So many spellmasters among the Mulan people know of these worms. It’s quite surprising to Han Li. Was it the spellmaster who escaped from me last time who informed you?" Han Li was momentarily taken aback but calmly replied with a faint tone.
"Was the physical body of Master Mu from the Heavenly Wind Division destroyed by you?" The woman didn’t answer Han Li’s question directly but instead asked another.
"Master Mu? The spellmaster who used the wind-riding wheel to chase me last time? If that’s the one, then yes, I destroyed his corporeal form. If his nascent soul hadn’t escaped quickly enough, I would have eliminated both his form and spirit. Are you seeking revenge for him?" Han Li remained unemotional and answered peacefully, though his vigilance immediately rose.
Since she knew about the existence of the Qian Blue Ice Flame and Wind Thunder Wings, a surprise attack would no longer work against her. This was somewhat troublesome.
Otherwise, based on his experience dealing with several nascent soul cultivators, he would have used the Wind Thunder Wings to approach unexpectedly, then used the Qian Blue Ice Flame to freeze them all in one go.
"The destruction of Master Mu’s body was due to his insufficient cultivation base; there is nothing to complain about. But you can command Golddevourer spiritual insects and possess such magical abilities. Today, in any case, I will not let you go," the green-clad woman’s beautiful face immediately darkened. She quickly formed hand seals, and white light flickered on her body. A white, misty, ribbon-like magical treasure emerged from her body, fluttering in the wind.
Then she performed another gesture, and a pale yellow small cauldron appeared in her hand.
This cauldron seemed to be forged from some unknown spiritual wood, about three or four inches in size, with an antique aura. Its surface was carved with some obscure runes and incantations.
After sensing it slightly with his spiritual awareness, Han Li’s expression changed a little.
"Golddevourer worms, though ancient exotic insects, are almost impossible to exterminate once fully cultivated and can devour anything. However, they can be restrained and controlled by wooden jade-like treasures. Coincidentally, this master once dealt with a Tuwo immortal cultivator who also commanded these worms. This 'Yellow Spiritual Cauldron' was specially brought to counter their insect repelling technique. But unexpectedly, the main target was not encountered; instead, it was you, a cultivator from Tian Nan, also commanding Golddevourer worms. Otherwise, your numerous worms, though not yet fully transformed, would have been quite difficult to handle." The green-clad woman said coldly, gently touching the cauldron’s ear.
