A cold harrumph rang out from within the sea of flames, and countless streaks of azure sword Qi struck the light barrier like a torrential storm.
In the face of this ferocious barrage, the light barrier flashed violently and began to dim significantly, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
The elderly man's expression darkened upon seeing this, and he swept a sleeve through the air to release a silver ring, which expanded at a rapid rate, forming a giant halo with a diameter of around half a kilometer before slowly descending from above.
The air down below instantly became extremely viscous, and the light barrier was able to regain its stability.
"Let's see how much longer you can trap me!"
Han Li's cold voice rang out again, and as soon as his voice trailed off, an inhuman roar rang out deep within the sea of flames, following which a terrifying aura erupted into the heavens.
The elderly man's expression changed drastically upon sensing this aura, yet before he had a chance to do anything, the entire sea of flames shuddered before parting to reveal a massive golden-furred fist.
Countless golden fist projections were unleashed by the giant fist, all of which combined as one to form a shimmering golden pavilion-sized fist projection that struck the light barrier up above with a resounding boom.
In the next instant, a scintillating golden sun erupted beneath the light barrier, and an enormous burst of force exploded in all directions.
On this occasion, even with the assistance of the seven winged women and the massive halo, the reddish-black light barrier still completely shattered.
The sea of flames down below was also torn apart, and a shimmering golden humanoid figure rose up into the air before immediately attempting to fly away.
The elderly man's expression darkened even further upon seeing this, and he switched to a different hand seal before stabbing a finger downward in a vicious manner. "Restrict!"
The giant halo began to rotate at a rapid rate at his behest, then descended toward the golden humanoid figure.
In response, the golden figure let loose a thunderous roar, then lashed out with successive blows from both of its fists toward the massive halo.
A pair of loud booms rang out, and two gusts of ferocious winds rose up, forcing the descending halo to a complete standstill.
During this split-second delay, the golden humanoid figure vanished into thin air.
The elderly man's heart jolted upon seeing this, and he immediately pointed a finger up toward the white jade vial that was hovering above his head.
The jade vial instantly tipped itself over, releasing a burst of white flames that formed a fiery barrier that shielded him within.
At the same time, the elderly man made a hand seal, and the giant insect projection reappeared behind him.
"Hmph, you've got decent reactions!"
Spatial fluctuations erupted up above, and a golden humanoid figure emerged, revealing itself to be a giant golden ape that was several tens of feet tall.
As soon as the ape emerged, one of its arms swelled drastically in size, and it reached down toward the elderly man's head in a vicious manner. Meanwhile, a massive golden sword appeared in its other hand, and the sword was slashed downward like lightning.
The elderly man's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and the crimson insect projection behind him instantly opened its mouth at his behest, biting toward the oncoming golden hand.
At the same time, the white jade vial transformed into a ball of white light that surged directly toward the golden sword.
Han Li chuckled coldly upon seeing this, and countless golden arcs of lightning erupted out of his massive hand amid a loud thunderclap, while the hand itself expanded to several times its original size.
A thump and a clang rang out in unison, and the huge insect projection was instantly destroyed by the giant golden hand.
However, the golden sword was repelled by the white jade vial, while the vial itself remained completely unscathed.
The elderly man drew a sharp breath upon seeing this, and he immediately swept a sleeve upward, upon which the fiery barrier around him transformed into a fiery wyrm that pounced toward the descending hand.
The two clashed, and the golden hand tore through the fiery wyrm's head, but the wyrm instantly split up into several fiery snakes that wound themselves tightly around the hand.
Golden lightning flashed violently around the hand to destroy one of the fiery snakes, but the remaining snakes prevented the hand from descending any further.
However, right at this moment, a peculiar smile suddenly appeared on Han Li's face.
At the same time, spatial fluctuations erupted on either side of the elderly man, and a green figure emerged alongside a golden figure with three heads and six arms.
The green figure opened its mouth to release a green net of threads, while the golden figure raised its six hands, revealing six balls of golden light, which were thrust directly toward the elderly man's back.
With the elderly man's powers, he was naturally able to detect what was happening behind himself, but most of his magic power was focused on the attack he had just unleashed upward, leaving him ill-equipped to defend himself. In this dire situation, a pair of white bone tridents flew out of his shoulders amid a flash of white light, flying directly toward the pair of humanoid figures. At the same time, the protective spiritual light around his body became around twice as dense as it had previously been.
However, neither the green figure nor the golden figure took evasive measures in the face of the oncoming bone tridents.
A pair of loud cracks rang out as white light erupted from their bodies, and one of them shuddered before taking two involuntarily steps backward, while the other merely swayed slightly, but remained standing on the spot.
Most of the bone trident directed toward the green figure had embedded itself into its target's body, but was unable to advance any further. Meanwhile, the other trident had simply bounced off the body of the golden figure.
Chater 2173: Battle of the Wood Tribe (12)
The six balls of golden light struck the elderly man's protective spiritual Qi like lightning, and all six balls of light exploded into golden shockwaves that swept over the elderly man's body.
His protective spiritual light possessed defensive power equivalent to that of top-grade treasures, but it was still instantly destroyed. The elderly man gritted his teeth before biting off half of his own tongue, then expelled a ball of blood essence backward to form a crimson shield.
The golden light struck the crimson shield with devastating force, and the shield only managed to stop it momentarily before part of the golden light forced its way through and rammed into the elderly man's body.
The elderly man felt a burst of enormous force crash into his back, and he was forced to stumble forward a few steps and throw up several mouthfuls of reddish-black blood as his consciousness threatened to fade.
Right at this moment, Han Li suddenly stepped forward, and his giant ape body blurred before appearing right in front of the elderly man, following which he extended a golden hand forward like lightning.
The elderly man was greatly alarmed by this, and he immediately tried to evade, but it was already too late.
The fingers of the golden hand split apart before plunging through the elderly man's chest, emerging on the other side with a heart locked in its grasp.
Silver flames then erupted along the entire arm, incinerating the elderly man's body and heart into ashes; even his Nascent Soul didn't get a chance to escape.
Thus, the elderly man was killed in the blink of an eye, and a hint of fear appeared on the faces of the seven winged women upon seeing this.
The seven of them immediately flapped their wings in unison, flying away in seven different directions with no intention of engaging in this battle any further.
