Chapter 773: The Power of the Spiritual Summoning
Han Li was feeling extremely frustrated at this moment, half because the two celestial tiger beasts were extraordinarily cunning.
They clung to him like stubborn adhesive, refusing to let go, yet dared not confront him head-on. Instead, they persistently trailed nearby, harassing him incessantly.
Not long ago, Han Li deliberately exposed a flaw to lure the two demonic beasts close, then suddenly launched an attack, cutting off half of one beast’s claw with several sword beams. Since then, these two beasts refused to be deceived again. They kept attacking from a distance with light projectiles and never approached within ten yards of Han Li.
However, whenever Han Li tried to shake them off using his Wind Thunder Wings, the two beasts would immediately teleport to catch up, continuing their harassment. This forced him to halt his Thunder Escape and fend them off one or two at a time.
The other half of Han Li’s frustration naturally came from the azure shadow.
It seemed that this azure shadow was entirely composed of pure wood spiritual energy. The Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword had no effect on it whatsoever. No matter how many sword energies he unleashed to shred it into fragments, it would instantly recombine, showing no fear of Han Li’s slashes and kills.
This was the first time Han Li had encountered such a situation since entering the immortal cultivation world — truly eye-opening.
Seeing this, Han Li naturally deployed his Qian Blue Ice Flame.
Unexpectedly, the azure shadow spat out a blue round bowl. When the Qian Blue Ice Flame shot towards it, it was swallowed into the bowl. This startled Han Li so much that cold sweat broke out all over him! Fortunately, since he had long fused these ice flames within himself, after activating his spiritual awareness spell formation, they struggled out from the bowl and returned inside his body.
Otherwise, since he hadn’t refined much of the ice flame originally, losing even a part of it would have been a huge loss.
Because of this, Han Li didn’t dare to casually use the Purple Luo Ultimate Fire.
As for treasures like the Silver Bell and Thousand Layer Peak, Han Li also tried them later, but they were equally ineffective against the opponent.
Although the azure shadow was not undead, each time it suffered a heavy blow, its blue light dimmed and shrank slightly. Yet it was certainly not an opponent that could be dealt with in a short time. Fortunately, it had no sharp offensive means or magical treasures, only releasing strands of blue spiritual silk to attack, which Han Li handled with great ease.
It seemed this so-called incarnation was only trying to stall him.
On the other side, the red-clad beauty Feng Bing, though at the top tier of mid nascent soul stage, was still far weaker compared to opponents who had advanced to the late stage. Despite unleashing all her magical abilities, she was completely on the defensive.
The fourth divine master frequently glanced coldly over here, making Han Li feel extremely uneasy, as if thorn needles were stuck in his back.
At this time, the spellmasters’ side unleashed the unfathomable sacred bird. Seven nascent soul cultivators, each wielding exotic treasures, were beaten into a state of pure defense, unable to counterattack. This sight deeply unsettled Han Li.
The only chance for victory now was to rescue those trapped cultivators, which might still turn the tide. Otherwise, this battle would truly end in a crushing defeat.
Han Li pondered briefly, then steeled himself, deciding not to prolong the fight any longer.
Immediately, several sword energies shot out, repelling one celestial tiger beast which teleported away. With his other hand, he slapped his storage pouch, producing a wooden box covered with talismans.
The azure shadow on the opposite side let out a faint sound of surprise upon seeing Han Li’s move. But with a lift of its hand, countless wooden spiritual blue threads shot directly toward Han Li.
