Chapter 769: Battle at the Border (6)
Han Li beckoned toward the Black Giant Peak.
After a flash of light, the small mountain shrank to just a few inches in size and transformed into a streak of black light, shooting into his sleeve.
The top of the Blood-Red Light Shield also returned to its original form, clearly showing that the shield was incredibly sturdy.
Han Li turned around and extended a finger. With a soft "puff," a pale blue fireball, about the size of a walnut, appeared at his fingertip.
"Go," Han Li whispered, flicking his finger gently. The fireball shot straight toward the distant shield wall.
With a soft "bang," the blue flame exploded, and a layer of blue ice instantly spread across the entire shield wall.
The temperature inside the blood shield plummeted rapidly, turning into a frigid world so cold that even breath would freeze.
Seeing this, Han Li swiftly moved to a section of the shield wall emitting a bright blue glow.
He raised his hand, and a streak of azure sword qi struck the thick ice layer. The sound of shattering rang out as crystal-clear ice shards scattered in all directions.
Han Li’s expression darkened as he observed the spot where the sword qi had hit.
As the ice shards fell, the blood-colored shield wall behind remained intact and unharmed. The thick, viscous blood on its surface showed no sign of truly freezing.
Only a thin layer of blue frost had formed on the surface, while the blood energy inside kept churning fiercely.
Han Li pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and waved it through the wind. Suddenly, a layer of purple demon flame engulfed his entire palm. Without hesitation, he pressed it lightly against the shield wall.
Sure enough, the Purple Luo Heavenly Flame was slightly more powerful than the qian blue ice flame.
The moment the purple flame touched the shield wall, a sizzling sound rang out. The blood mist and blood on the shield instantly solidified, radiating a dazzling purple light.
Han Li's face brightened with delight.
Carefully controlling the Purple Luo Heavenly Flame to affect only this small patch of shield wall, he opened his mouth again. Thunder roared as a golden arc shot from his mouth, striking the shield wall directly.
After the golden light flashed, a fine crack appeared on the shield wall.
But the blood aura flickered wildly a few times, and in the blink of an eye, the crack vanished without a trace.
Han Li was stunned!
This blood shield truly contained many tricks. Even though it was frozen, it could repair its own damage.
No wonder the Mulan people used this forbidden technique with such confidence. Even the Purple Luo Heavenly Flame couldn't break through it; it could indeed trap ordinary nascent soul cultivators.
Although shocked, Han Li quickly slapped his hand on his storage pouch. A shiny, thumb-sized blue-green orb appeared in his palm.
It was the Landmine Pearl he had recently refined.
Since creating it, he had never used it before, so now was the perfect chance to test its power.
Moreover, since that thunderous sound, Han Li had been unable to sense the outside battle from within the shield, but judging by the time, the initial phase of the fight should be over. It should be safe to exit now.
Otherwise, if he delayed helping too long and the cultivator army suffered a crushing defeat, he would be trapped like a bird in a cage with no chance of escape.
With this in mind, the light in Han Li’s palm flickered. The pearl spun rapidly, then transformed into a streak of blue light shooting toward the shield wall as Han Li’s figure was propelled backward.
A heavy thunderclap resounded, followed by a head-sized golden-blue light rising on the shield wall.
The entire shield trembled violently under the impact.
A flash of surprise crossed Han Li’s face.
The power of this pearl seemed even greater than he had anticipated!
Just as this thought formed, Han Li's expression shifted. Brilliant blue spiritual light burst from his body, transforming him into a streak of azure rainbow flying out.
