The elderly man and the people around him all exchanged surprised glances upon seeing this.
The old man then appraised Han Li again in a rather hesitant manner, clearly concerned about his cultivation base disadvantage in the face of this green-haired being.
The green-haired being faltered upon hearing this before glowering at Han Li with fury in his eyes as he threatened, "Who are you? Do you want to die? Or are you planning to spar with me in his stead?"
Before Han Li had a chance to reply, the green-haired being suddenly stepped forward, and one of his green furry hands came grabbing down toward Han Li.
As his hand swung through the air, it suddenly swelled drastically in size after the green-haired being unleashed a certain secret technique, and the five fingers spread open to encompass Han Li's entire body beneath the hand.
At the same time, yellow light flashed from his fingers as an enormous force weighed down upon Han Li.
"Look out, Fellow Daoist Han!" the elderly man cautioned, but for some reason, he intentionally delayed for a split second, thereby making it too late for him to try and save Han Li.
Meanwhile, the green-haired being's hand continued downward with devastating force. If an ordinary early-Spatial Tempering cultivator had been caught off guard by this attack, then the immense force emanating from the palm alone would be enough to completely immobilize them.
However, Han Li's physical body had reached an insane powerful level, so he certainly wasn't going to be immobilized by something like this.
Even if the pressure weighing down on his body were to increase by severalfold, it still wouldn't even be of the slightest concern to him.
At the sight of the oncoming palm, a cold smile appeared on Han Li's face, and he reached out with an inky-black hand before extending it upward.
Grey light flashed before converging to form a massive grey hand of light that materialized overhead, grabbing toward the massive yellow hand.
A violent look flashed through the green-haired being as he saw what Han Li was doing, and he roared, "Insolent brat! Kneel down before me!"
He was only using around 70% of his magic power to unleash this attack initially, but now, his magic power was circulating rapidly throughout his body, and he was no longer holding back at all as he injected all of his spiritual power into the descending palm, trying to force Han Li to his knees with this devastating attack.
Yellow light flashed from the giant palm, and it swelled in size once again as it crashed into the grey hand of light.
However, in the instant, that the two massive hands clashed, a completely unexpected turn of events unfolded.
There wasn't any earth-shattering collision as everyone had anticipated. Instead, the yellow hand was simply crushed into nothingness by the grey hand amid a gentle thump.
After that, the grey hand swayed before appearing in the air above the green-haired being, and it also came crashing down in a soundless manner.
Before the hand had even reached its target, grey Divine Essencefused Light was sweeping downward ahead of it.
"Impossible!" the green-haired being exclaimed. It was incredible to him that Han Li had brushed aside his attack, and was now retaliating in kind.
In a fit of shock and fury, he abruptly clenched his fists together before throwing two punches at once toward the descending grey light with all his might.
Two yellow fist projections erupted from his hand amid a rumbling sound, heading directly toward the grey light.
However, in the instant that the first projections came into contact with the grey light, they disappeared like sandcastles in the rising tide.
A hint of astonishment appeared on the green-haired being's face, and he immediately tried to unleash a movement technique to take evasive measures.
However, the grey light that was descending slowly just a moment ago suddenly sped up drastically, reaching him at an incredible speed before sweeping up his entire body in the blink of an eye.
Chapter 1618: Crushing a Ninth-tier Being
Within the grey light, the green-haired being felt the layer of protective spiritual light around his body solidify, and he was instantly completely immobilized. In the next instant, a crushing weight crashed down onto his shoulders, and the green-haired being was completely unable to oppose it as he fell to one knee onto the ground.
The massive grey hand was actually still around half a foot away from his head, so it was weighing down on the protective spiritual light around him instead of his body, but that was still enough to completely immobilize him.
The green-haired being's face paled before becoming extremely flushed, perhaps due to overexertion or humiliation or a combination of both.
The entire third level fell completely silent.
All of the cultivators present, regardless of whether they were local beings or outsiders, were completely stunned by this turn of events.
The elderly man with the Yan surname was also quite shocked, but also elated that Han Li was so unexpectedly powerful.
In the distance, the silver-armored being's eyelids twitched, and he cast a frosty gaze toward Han Li.
Meanwhile, Xian Xian's expression changed several times in quick succession. She knew that Han Li was far more powerful than his cultivation base suggested, but it was still completely unexpected to her that he was able to crush a ninth-tier upper race after just a single exchange. This gave her rather mixed feelings.
Yue Zong was also completely flabbergasted, and he stared at Han Li in silence, seemingly yet to process what he was seeing.
As for the woman in the palatial dress and the others, they were naturally all completely dumbstruck.
Han Li paid no heed to any of them as he fixed his gaze on the green-haired being, whose joints were popping and cracking from the strain of resisting against the massive grey hand of light.
After being crushed into a half-kneeling position, the green-haired being was glowering at Han Li with both humiliation and resentment in his eyes. At the same time, the protective spiritual light around his body wavered incessantly, and he looked as if he wanted to forcibly rise to his feet.
Han Li harrumphed coldly upon seeing this, and he suddenly flipped his inky-black hand over.
Immediately thereafter, the grey hand that was weighing down on the green-haired being also flipped itself over, and a small mountain that was around 10 feet in size appeared out of thin air before crashing down with a dull thud.
The black mountain was completely mundane and nondescript in appearance, but not only was it able to completely vanquish the green-haired being's protective spiritual light, it completely flattened him onto the ground from his original half-kneeling position.
After that, the small mountain swayed and swelled to around 30 to 40 feet tall, crushing the green-haired being's entire body beneath it, leaving only half of his head poking out from underneath.
The entire pavilion tremored violently, following which a layer of white spiritual light surfaced over the floor and the walls. At the same time, a series of strange runes surged forth in a frenzy from all directions before disappearing a flash, following which the tremors came to an abrupt halt.
A massive and extremely profound restriction had been set up in this ordinary-looking pavilion. Otherwise, the clashes that had taken place earlier would've been enough to raze the entire pavilion to the ground several times already.
Han Li withdrew his arm as he looked down at the green-haired being beneath the mountain, and he asked, "Do I have a third choice now?"
In the face of a being at the pinnacle of the Spatial Tempering Stage, Han Li would normally have a hard time defeating them unless he were to unleash a few trump cards.
