Chapter 770: Battle at the Border (7)
Han Li raised his hand expressionlessly, and the Blue Light Shield flew out of his grasp. In the blink of an eye, it expanded into a massive shield that blocked the space before him.
With a tremendous crash, yellow and blue lights intertwined. The giant brick and blue shield shuddered and flew backward simultaneously, seemingly evenly matched.
Seeing the giant shield flying toward him, Han Li expressionlessly extended a finger and gently tapped it.
A flash of azure light, and the shield stopped moving in a strange way.
The giant brick spiraled once more before transforming into a ray of yellow light that smashed toward Han Li again.
Han Li sneered coldly. A flash of silver thunderlight appeared behind him, and he vanished once more.
The old man in the yellow robe was startled. Without thinking further, he raised his hand. A purple flag shot out from his palm, instantly transforming into a cloud of purple mist that enveloped his entire body.
At that moment, thunder roared to the left of the old man, and Han Li’s figure appeared. He opened his mouth, and a small sword several inches long shot out.
The sword was immediately wrapped in deep blue flames as it blasted toward the purple cloud in a flash.
The old man inside the purple cloud, who had originally been calm, revealed an expression of terror akin to seeing a poisonous scorpion upon seeing the blue flames on the flying sword.
Without thinking, he moved his body a few feet away, trying to dodge the sword's attack.
What the old man did not expect was that the moment he moved, a faint female figure suddenly appeared behind him as if anticipated. She raised a jade hand, and a blue orb shot out like lightning.
The woman appeared silently and mysteriously, like a ghost, as if the old man had unwittingly stepped right in front of her. The timing of her appearance was perfectly coordinated with Han Li’s actions.
However, even so, with the old man’s nascent soul stage spiritual awareness, he naturally sensed an anomaly behind him.
But the distance was too short; he couldn’t dodge. The only thing he could do was to pour all his magical power desperately into the protective purple cloud.
This ancient treasure-formed purple mist was quite powerful, and he still had some confidence.
With a deafening roar, golden azure light exploded. The seemingly extraordinary purple cloud collapsed in the light. Inside, the old man howled in pain; half his body vanished, and the remaining half was about to be completely consumed by the blue flames.
Seeing this, the old man's still-intact head was full of shock, anger, and disbelief. Immediately, his expression turned to intense hatred, and he gritted his teeth.
With a "boom," the remaining body exploded on its own. A blinding yellow light shot out, flying over ten yards. Within it was a baby about an inch high, resembling the old man's face.
The old man in the yellow robe had foreseen the danger and decisively abandoned his physical body, letting his nascent soul shoot out, hoping to escape with his life.
Han Li seemed to have anticipated this. The moment the nascent soul fled, Han Li disappeared again in silver light. After a flash, he appeared directly in the nascent soul’s escape path.
With a wave of his hand and the roar of thunder, a Golden Net was cast down.
At the same time, the small sword covered in blue flames shot from behind.
The baby in the yellow light panicked, fear flashing across its face. It hurriedly opened its mouth and spat out a silver round bowl about an inch in diameter. Silver light shimmered as it confronted the descending Golden Net.
With a "bang," the round bowl shattered before touching the Golden Net, shattered by the old man’s nascent soul spell formation.
Silver light flashed, and countless fragments scattered in all directions. The electric net on the ground trembled slightly after being struck by the treasure fragments.
During this moment of delay, the old man’s nascent soul executed true teleportation technique. A protective yellow light flashed, and the nascent soul vanished without a trace from the original location. The next moment, it appeared thirty yards away, then transformed into a dazzling azure rainbow and disappeared.
