It appeared to be a high-grade Shadow Tribe being as the old man expected. The old man’s lips twitched and his face turned blue.
Although lightning was effective on a majority of the Shadow Tribe, green shadows were at the same level as Deity Transformation-stage cultivators and their bodies were somewhat resistant to lightning. When a Deity Transformation cultivator and a green shadow fought, most of the time, the cultivator perished or lost.
And from the number of shadow puppets the green shadow could control, he feared that the green shadow was the highest of its grade.
The old man’s heart completely dropped.
At that moment, he heard distant eruptions from a distance. It was clear that the black-armored cultivators sank into a desperate battle.
The green shadow cared not for the old man’s terror and wordlessly took a step forward. His body strangely warped until he was a few meters away from the old man and he raised his arm towards the overbearing lightning surrounding the old man’s body.
He planned on directly grabbed ahold of the old man’s magic treasure.
The old man’s heart leapt. The green shadow was too fast. It was too late for him to dodge. He could only shout and pour the entirety of his magic power into his protective treasure.
The silver lightning thundered in front of him and grew three times thicker.
When the green shadow saw this, a trace of disdain appeared from his crimson eyes, and his palm continued forward. He reached out to grab the lightning.
Thunder rolled and the thick lightning bolt ruptured in a wild display, eventually revealing a small sword.
The small sword shifted its form continuously and wildly trembled, but the large green hand held firm.
The old man’s face became bloodlessly pale.
The green shadow let out a bewildering cackle and his body blurred as if he was about to take action.
But suddenly, thunder sounded above the old man and azure-white light flashed. A winged silhouette suddenly appeared.
As soon as the winged figure appeared, he wordlessly pointed his hands downward.
Chapter 1353: Foreign Tribe Suspicions
He flicked his fingers and five dense bolts of lightning lashed out. Another light flashed from his hand to produce a square embroidered cloth drifting downward. Its surface faintly glowed with strange talisman characters in a mysterious fashion.
When the green shadow saw this, he was alarmed but not frightened. Instead, he shook his shoulder, summoning two grey shadows from his back. In a blur, they split off to confront the oncoming lightning and cloth.
The green shadow then twisted his body, wanting to create some distance.
An icy harrumph sounded from the winged silhouette above him.
An inconceivable event followed!
As soon as the green shadow heard him, he violently trembled. Afterwards, his figure stopped and was left in a daze.
A rolling thunder rang and the five bolts of golden lightning were the first to strike the shadow puppet.
Upon contact, the grey shadow dissolved from the golden light like ice to the sun. A grey mist was all that was left behind.
Simultaneously, the odd talisman characters on the embroidered cloth lit up and ruptured. Myriads of fine silver threads covered the grey shadow and immediately retracted it back into the cloth, holding the shadow puppet firmly in place.
Thunder rang from the embroidered cloth, and countless arcs of lightning leaped out, attacking the immobile shadow puppet.
At that moment, the winged silhouette flapped his wings and immediately disappeared with the flash of a silver line.
A moment later, the silver line appeared above the green shadow. The winged silhouette then waved his hand in a casual motion.
His palm sparkled with light and soon light lit up from his fingers, releasing five various colored bone rings.
The rings were as fine as jade with pea-sized skulls meticulously carved from their surface. The eyes in the skulls stirred and the skull opened its mouth as if it were alive.
The five skulls release different colored glacial flames, and they fused together to create a gorgeous barrier of rainbow flame.
Just as he collected himself from being intimidated before, the green shadow saw flames light from in front of him as he was about to be engulfed in rainbow flames.
He felt his entire body tensed and felt it become incredibly slow.
In the next moment, the green shadow felt great terror.
However, he was a high-grade existence in the shadow clan. He instantly let out a piercing shriek from his mouth, causing his green body to burst into countless green threads. They scattered in every direction to avoid being trapped by the rainbow flames.
The winged silhouette seemed to have already anticipated this and suddenly swiped down with his other hand.
Light lit up from it and the image of a small black mountain was faintly revealed from his hand. With a flip of his hand, rings of grey light suddenly rushed out from his palm.
When the grey light flew out, the green threads seemed to have encountered their match. As the rings swept the green threads inside of them, they were instantly crushed and turned to green dust.
At that moment, the green shadow’s crimson eyes were filled with terror.
However, his body felt immense pressure as if the land itself was weighing down on him. Against such a powerful ability, he couldn't muster himself to escape.
Winds tore as differently colored light shot out from the winged silhouette’s hands, placing a series of talismans on the green shadow.
The green shadow blurred and the crimson light gradually faded from his eyes.
An inconceivable event occurred.
Under the restriction of the talismans, the green shadow began to shrink until he was only a fist-sized green ball that weakly pulsed with faint green light.
The winged silhouette didn’t find this odd in the slightest and withdrew his abilities. He simply reached his hand out in the air.
The green ball immediately tore through the air and easily arrived in the person’s hand.
At that moment, the winged silhouette turned to the dumbstruck azure-armored old man and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Yue, I’m afraid I’ve arrived too late. Are you alright?”
The old man eventually collected himself and withdrew the flying sword in front of him. He returned the smile and saluted the man, “Brother Han, what are you saying? Had you not saved my life, I fear I would’ve been in trouble. I’ve long heard of your exceptional abilities, and now I see those rumors are entirely true! Even a high-grade Shadow Tribe member isn’t enough to be your match.”
The winged silhouette was actually a youth wearing a set of azure armor, Han Li!
But at that moment, Han Li already progressed his cultivation to mid-Deity Transformation stage.
Han Li chuckled in response and said, “Brother Yue is exaggerating. It's just that my techniques happen to be effective against the Shadow Tribe members. If it were another foreign race, my attacks wouldn’t have been effective.
“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Han is quite modest. Who could’ve known that your small squad would suffer no casualties during decades of patrol assignments? I heard in those years, you’ve killed quite a few foreign tribe spies. Tch tch, considering all your merits, my praise hadn’t been enough.” The old man wryly laughed and shook his head.
“Nonsense, so the other Fellow Daoists must be alright?” Han Li chuckled and then he looked around.
