Chapter 744: Reputation Growing
“What should we do? Even if Master uses Blood Shadow Escape Technique, he can only flee a hundred miles at most once, and he’s still under that Divine Master's spiritual awareness. There’s no way to break free from the lock,” Silver Moon fretted softly.
Though Silver Moon said little about Han Li’s lifesaving kindness, she was somewhat moved inside. Her tone unconsciously grew more concerned.
“One attempt is obviously not enough, but if I use Blood Shadow Escape two or three times in a row, then rely on the remaining Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder to perform Thunder Escape, I should have about a seventy or eighty percent chance of breaking free. However, even so, though my magical power is more profound than that of an average early nascent soul stage cultivator, losing so much essence and blood carries significant risks. Even if I come out unscathed, I’ll be incredibly weak for quite some time afterward. But judging from the situation now, there’s no other way to escape alive. I have to risk it,” Han Li said with a faint, almost imperceptible self-mockery at the corner of his mouth, as if he had long since considered this.
“Master, you...” Silver Moon seemed to want to say more.
“Hmph! That guy is chasing again. The pursuit grows tighter with each attempt. I can't delay any longer. I have no choice but to take the risk!” Han Li’s expression suddenly shifted. He lifted his head to gaze into the gloomy sky behind him, his face dark as he muttered to himself.
Seeing this, Silver Moon naturally fell silent.
Han Li then took a deep breath and quickly moved his fingers, forming a sequence of strange hand seals. At the same time, a flicker of azure light danced around him, and an astonishing burst of spiritual energy suddenly surged forth.
He opened his mouth, spitting out a crimson stream of essence and blood. The blood sprayed out and was carried by the wind, dispersing into a dense blood mist that merged with the azure spiritual light.
The spiritual light instantly turned into a strange blend of blue and red hues.
Meanwhile, Han Li’s exposed hands and face began to turn an intense crimson. In moments, they were as bright red as blood, with countless blood vessels seeming ready to burst through the skin—an extremely terrifying sight.
Han Li, however, seemed completely unaware of this. His hands moved even faster in forming the hand seals.
Two more streams of essence and blood were spat out, and Han Li’s figure became fully enveloped in the blood mist, his form flickering and becoming faint.
At that moment, in the distance, lights flickered on the horizon. Three silver lights appeared, slowly flying over.
Within them, figures flickered—it was Divine Master Zhong and his two avatars.
The three wore flowing scholar robes and flew steadily toward Han Li, their speed astonishing as they quickly covered several hundred feet. They could now see Han Li clearly with the naked eye.
“Huh!” One of them showed an expression of surprise. His gaze flickered, and his brows furrowed.
With a faint “pft” sound, the azure rainbow blood mist exploded in the distance, and a dazzling blood light appeared on the spot.
Han Li stood straight within it, coldly staring at the approaching Mulan divine masters. A rumble of thunder sounded, and his Wind Thunder Wings spread wide behind him.
The next moment, the surrounding space twisted and distorted. Han Li’s figure flickered and suddenly vanished from the spot.
A sharp piercing sound faintly echoed from afar but quickly became inaudible, as if he had suddenly escaped the vicinity in an instant.
The three scholars all showed astonishment on their faces. After exchanging glances, they suddenly converged toward the center.
A flash of silver light passed, and the three once again merged into one.
The sole remaining scholar immediately closed his eyes and released his spiritual awareness, rapidly probing in the direction where the piercing sound had vanished.
“He actually fled over a hundred miles away. What kind of escape technique is this? It resembles demonic blood escape somewhat, but the distance is truly terrifying.” The scholar looked toward where Han Li had disappeared, showing a trace of surprise.
