The Battle at the Border (6)
Han Li waved at the huge black mountain.
The small mountain shrunk to only a few inches in size before flying into his sleeve as a streak of black light.
The top of the blood-red light barrier had also returned to its original shape. It appeared that the barrier was quite durable.
Han Li turned around and extended a finger. With a puff, a light blue fireball the size of a walnut appeared on his fingertip.
“Go,” Han Li said softly. With a light flick, the fireball shot towards the wall in the distance.
With a light bang, the blue flames exploded and the blue ice instantly spread, covering the entire barrier.
The temperature within the blood barrier dropped drastically, turning into a world of extreme cold. The temperature was so low that it could turn one’s breath into ice.
Seeing this, Han Li’s body swayed and he appeared in front of a shining blue barrier.
He raised his hand, and an azure sword Qi struck the thick layer of ice. The sound of ice shattering rang out, and crystalline ice fragments scattered in all directions.
Han Li’s expression darkened upon seeing where the sword Qi had struck.
As the ice fragments fell, the blood-red barrier remained unscathed, and the viscous blood on it showed no signs of being truly frozen.
There was only a thin layer of blue frost on its surface, but the blood Qi was still roiling within.
Han Li pondered for a moment before raising his hand and waving it in the wind. A layer of purple devil flames suddenly covered his entire palm. He stretched out his hand without hesitation and gently pressed against the barrier.
As expected, the Purple Apex Flame was slightly more powerful than the Celestial Ice Flame.
As soon as the purple flames approached the barrier, a sizzling sound rang out, and the blood mist on the barrier instantly solidified, emanating a dazzling purple light.
Han Li’s face was filled with joy.
He carefully controlled the Purple Apex Flame, limiting its power to the small barrier in front of him. He opened his mouth again, and a thunderclap sounded. A bolt of golden lightning shot out from his mouth and struck the barrier.
After the golden light flashed, a thin crack appeared on the barrier.
However, the crimson light wildly flashed several times before the cracks disappeared.
Han Li was stunned!
There were quite a few tricks to this blood barrier. Although it was frozen, it was still able to repair itself.
It was no wonder that the Moulan people were so confident in using this restriction. Even the Purple Apex Flame was unable to break through it. It was indeed capable of trapping ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Although he was a little shocked, Han Li immediately slapped his storage pouch and a shiny green thumb-sized bead appeared in his palm.
It was none other than the newly refined lightning bead.
Ever since he refined it, he hadn’t used it once. Now was a good time to test its power.
Furthermore, after the thunderclap, Han Li could no longer sense the situation of the battle outside. However, judging from the time, it should be past the beginning stage. It should not be a big problem for him to go out.
Otherwise, if he delayed any longer and didn’t go out to help, if the cultivator army were to suffer a great defeat, he would be like a bird in a cage. There would be no way for him to escape.
With that in mind, Han Li’s palm flashed, and the lightning bead spun, turning into a streak of azure light that shot towards the barrier. At the same time, his body shot backwards.
A dull thunderclap sounded, following which a head-sized ball of golden-azure light rose from the barrier.
The entire barrier trembled violently upon impact.
Surprise flashed across Han Li’s face.
The power of this bead seemed to be above his expectations!
Just as this thought arose in his mind, Han Li’s expression suddenly changed slightly. Green spiritual light radiated from his body, and he flew out as a streak of azure light.
With a single strike from the lightning bead, a small hole was easily punched through the barrier. This caused Han Li, who had sensed it, to fly out without much thought.
The hole was rapidly shrinking.
When Han Li shot out of the blood-red barrier, he was naturally overjoyed. This lightning bead refined from the azure lantern flame that was as powerful as the Purple Apex Flame was actually able to break through this restriction so easily. This was truly beyond his expectations.
Originally, he thought that if this lightning bead didn’t work, he could only use the Gold Devouring Beetle and the Blood Devil Sword.
Although the former could devour anything, it would take some time to break this barrier. The latter would cause endless trouble in the future, and Han Li was unwilling to use it.
However, the Nameless Lightning Bead he had refined was actually able to break through the blood barrier. This was naturally a pleasant surprise.
It seemed that the reason why the Purple Apex Flame was unable to break through this restriction was most likely because it was essentially of the ice attribute, unlike the lantern flames, which were genuine fire attribute spiritual flames that could counter the enemy.
However, just as Han Li flew out, before he could clearly see the situation outside the barrier, he heard a few surprised cries, followed by all kinds of explosions, explosions, and countless loud roars.
Han Li hurriedly took a closer look and could not help but be stunned.
At this moment, he was surrounded by more than ten spell warriors. Fortunately, with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found that these spell warriors’ levels were not very high. Two of them were in the Core Formation Stage, and the rest were in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Each of them held a spell flag, as if they were preparing to use some kind of spiritual spell attack. After Han Li flew out of the blood barrier, he was in the air above these people.
Han Li ignored them and looked around. He could not help but gasp.
As far as the eye could see, be it the sky or the ground, they were densely packed with flashes of spiritual light and the sounds of explosions. The cultivators of both sides, as well as spell warriors in groups, had formed countless battles of various sizes, completely engaging in a chaotic battle.
For a moment, Han Li could not tell which side had the upper hand.
Without another glance, Han Li hurriedly retracted his gaze and coldly sized up the nearby spell warriors.
When the dozen spell warriors saw Han Li suddenly rush out of the blood barrier, they were naturally dumbfounded.
“Not good! He’s a Nascent Soul cultivator! Quickly call the Grand Sage over.” A Core Formation spell warrior was the first to react. After shouting out loud, he immediately slapped the back of his head and a jade-green flying saber shot towards Han Li. At the same time, his figure turned into a green light and shot back more than 100 feet, pulling away from Han Li.
When the other spell warriors heard this, they also reacted in shock.
Another Core Formation spell warrior immediately cooperated and released a fiery red flying trident. At the same time, he raised his other hand, and a sound transmission talisman transformed into a streak of fiery light that tore through the air. As for the remaining spell warriors with low cultivation, they raised the spell flags in their hands and chanted loudly. Over ten fire pillars as thick as bowls shot out from the tips of the flags, turning into a sea of flames that surged towards Han Li.
“Huh!”
Seeing that these spell warriors did not run away, but took the initiative to attack, wanting to delay him, Han Li was slightly surprised.
However, a baleful aura flashed across his face. He waved his sleeve, and azure light speckled. Dozens of Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords swarmed out from his sleeve. He casually cast a spell, and after each flying sword lightly trembled, it immediately split into several sword lights. In an instant, dense sword lights surrounded Han Li. Sword Qi soared into the sky, and they looked extremely imposing.
When the two Core Formation spell warriors saw this, they were given a huge fright. However, they still braced themselves and commanded their magic treasures to attack.
Han Li sneered and casually pointed with his fingers. Several sword lights flew out from each of his hands, blocking the flying dagger and the trident.
Brilliant azure light erupted, and the two magic treasures began to wail incessantly under the pressure of the sword Qi. Their spiritual light instantly shrunk into a small ball.
As for the surging flames, before they could even reach Han Li, they were turned into nothingness by the many sword lights.
Now was not the time to dawdle with these spell warriors. Han Li had no intention of holding back. After he spat out the word “go”, a hundred sword lights suddenly shone brightly and shot out at the same time.
Green light that blotted out the sky and covered the earth pounced toward each spell warrior at the same time.
Although the Foundation Establishment spell warriors all took out the spell flags in their hands in an attempt to block the attack, these people were minced into meat paste as soon as the azure sword light descended. They didn’t even have a chance to escape.
However, when the two Core Formation spell warriors saw so many sword lights flying toward them, their faces turned deathly pale.
Regardless of how bold and valiant they were, they didn’t dare to withstand such an astonishing attack. Without any hesitation, they flew in the opposite direction of each other as streaks of light.
When Han Li saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He formed hand seals and the two streaks of sword Qi that were hurtling toward the two of them let out a clear ring before suddenly joining together. The magic power of the sword Qi combined together to increase their speed by a large margin.
The two pitiful Moulan spell warriors had only flown over 200 feet when they were completely enveloped by the sword light.
Although they were doing their utmost to activate the protective treasure light and release all sorts of spirit techniques in an attempt to hold on, the azure light had instantly reduced them to nothingness.
The two of them didn’t even have the chance to utter a sound before their bodies were sliced into countless pieces by the sword Qi. Their primal souls also didn’t have a chance to escape and were directly melted by the sword Qi.
However, just as Han Li succeeded, a furious roar came from the sky, followed by a piercing yellow light that flew down from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Han Li’s expression changed, and after a thunderclap sounded from behind him, he instantly spread his Thunderstorm Wings.
Silver light flashed and he disappeared without a trace.
When the yellow streak of light saw this, it couldn’t help but pause for a moment. After the light faded, a beardless old man wearing a yellow robe appeared in midair. Although his face was filled with rage, there was bewilderment in the depths of his eyes.
This person was one of the Moulan Grand Sages. He was originally coordinating with the other spell warriors in a confrontation with a few Nascent Soul cultivators from the Heavenly South Region. As soon as he received a message from his clansmen, he immediately flew over.
However, even though his actions were fast enough, he was only able to see two of his clansmen being slain by the azure sword light. Naturally, he was furious.
One of them was his personal disciple, and he had always viewed him as a nephew.
However, Han Li’s sudden disappearance gave him a fright. He immediately thought of an extremely powerful character among the cultivators in the Heavenly South Region. He hurriedly restrained the resentment in his heart and continuously probed his surroundings with his spiritual sense.
A silver light flashed behind him, and Han Li’s figure appeared.
“Die!”
As soon as he sensed Han Li’s appearance, the old man spun around without a second thought. He raised his hand and a cubic magic treasure fiercely smashed towards Han Li.
As soon as the treasure appeared, brilliant yellow light erupted from it, instantly transforming it into a huge brick that was over 100 feet in size. At the same time, a sharp whistle of wind sounded from the magic treasure with an astonishing momentum.
