A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Breaking the Formation (8)

When Han Li saw this, he was overjoyed. As for the green-robed woman, her face instantly paled and she revealed an expression of extreme shock and fury. She raised her hands and a vast expanse of white mist swept forth. At the same time, the white lotus beneath her wildly revolved, and in an instant, the lotus shadow surged forward like a mountain.

However, the purple cloud above her head flashed and dodged the white light, revealing a large purple net.

Purple light and white light suddenly collided with the lotus shadow, following which was Silvermoon’s sweet laughter.

Behind the purple net, the light receded to reveal Silvermoon’s tall figure.

With a smile on her face, she held the Ancient Flower Basket in her hand. White light flashed from within, and the ancient bronze lantern was trapped within the white light, unable to move in the slightest. As long as she returned and removed the trace of spiritual sense that the green-robed woman had left on the lantern, anyone would be able to control this ancient treasure.

Han Li was naturally overjoyed as well, but before he could reveal his excitement, the person who had just barged in clearly saw the battle between Han Li and the green-robed woman. He immediately turned to Han Li and shouted in panic.

“Fellow Daoist Han, quickly run! The Moulan Divine Sages have arrived. Fellow Daoist Lu has already been killed. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late.”

This person was Old Man Ma. However, at this moment, his hair was disheveled and one of his arms had disappeared. He wore a terrified expression.

“Moulan Divine Sages?” Han Li was shocked to hear this. Just as he was about to ask for more details, white light erupted from the old man’s body and he flew away, not daring to stop.

However, right at this moment, a faint male voice sounded.

“It’s too late! I’ve already found this place. You gave up one of your arms just now, allowing you to escape this calamity. Let’s see what other secret techniques you have. Don’t tell me you’ve also refined your other arm into a substitute puppet. If that’s the case, then I truly admire you! Huh! Isn’t this Moulan’s Origin Bright Lantern? Little fox, you’re quite bold. You actually dare to take Moulan’s inheritance treasure. Do you think it’s something that a monster like you can touch?” The man’s speed was extremely fast. At the beginning, his words seemed to still be in place, but in the blink of an eye, they seemed to be within reach. He had even seen through Silvermoon’s true identity.

Soon after, a streak of silver light shot forth from the sea of mist. It didn’t appear to be very fast, but it arrived in front of Silvermoon in the blink of an eye.

Silvermoon’s face paled and she hastily waved her hand, summoning a large purple net in front of her.

However, the silver streak of light only paused for a moment before immediately transforming into a large silver hand that forcibly grabbed the Purple Cloudlace. At the same time, from a distance of over 100 feet, the silver hand clenched its five fingers into a fist and lightly struck in Silvermoon’s direction.

Silvermoon’s yellow streak of light was struck by a ball of silver light that appeared out of thin air, and she let out a miserable shriek before plummeting to the ground.

However, she was extremely intelligent. She gritted her teeth and forcibly endured the pain before tossing the ancient treasure in her hand toward Han Li as a streak of white Qi.

“You’re courting death!” The silver-haired man’s voice carried a trace of anger.

Light flashed and the silver hand split into two. As a result, one of the hands swept toward the Ancient Flower Basket and instantly grabbed it. The other hand fiercely grabbed at the falling Silvermoon as if it wanted to crush her into pieces.

Their movements were as quick as lightning.

Silvermoon turned pale with fright and hastily attempted to use her spiritual power to escape.

However, silver light flashed from her body, and she was unable to summon any magic power. At the same time that her opponent’s attack had severely injured her, a simple restriction had been placed on her body.contemporary romance

Although it was easy to break the restriction, she didn’t have the time to do so.

Silvermoon felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing the huge silver hand descending upon her like a small mountain. She closed her eyes and waited for death.

Right at this moment, a thunderclap sounded from behind her. An arm appeared from behind her and grabbed her by the waist.

“Let’s go!” Han Li’s cold voice suddenly rang out, followed by a resounding boom. Silvermoon and Han Li disappeared at the same time.

The silver hand missed by a hair’s breadth.

In the next instant, Han Li held Silvermoon’s waist with one hand and the huge azure and purple sword in the other. He appeared at the edge of the dense fog several hundred feet away with a sullen expression.

“Huh! Lightning Movement Technique!”

A cry of surprise sounded from the huge silver hand before the other hand flew back in the blink of an eye. The two hands collided, releasing a blinding silver light.

The light receded and a scholarly spell warrior appeared within the silver light. He held a Purple Cloudlace in one hand and the Ancient Flower Basket in the other as he appraised Han Li with an indifferent expression.

When Old Man Ma saw this person appear, his face turned ashen. Although spiritual light continuously flashed from his body, he didn’t dare to flee.

Han Li’s gaze flickered as he carefully examined the first late-Nascent Soul cultivator he’d seen. With such a cultivation base, aside from Deity Transformation cultivators who didn’t roam the mortal world, they could be considered the top existences in the cultivation world.

The middle-aged spell warrior examined his surroundings and his gaze lingered on Cultivator Le for a moment. He then raised his hand and tossed the Ancient Flower Basket along with the copper lantern to her.

“Many thanks for Divine Sage Zhong’s assistance. However… How did you come, Brother Zhong?” The green-robed woman was pleasantly surprised to recollect the ancient bronze lantern.

Regardless of how cold and arrogant she was, she didn’t dare to show the slightest disrespect in the face of one of her race’s three great Divine Sages.

The scholar calmly said, “It’s nothing. I only heard that the Heavenly South people had sent a group of cultivators to reinforce the great formations. As for your Sir Heavenweep, he perished in a strange manner. As such, I was somewhat worried and came over to take a look. It would be best if we could give a reasonable explanation to those from the Great Jin. Right now, we can’t leave these cultivators alone. However, since they have a fellow who knows lightning movement, it will be difficult for Sage Le to deal with them.”

Soon after, he turned to Han Li and indifferently asked.

“This little fox belongs to you. She’s quite bold to dare to steal Moulan’s inheritance treasure. Since you’re her master, you may die together.”

Han Li’s pupils contracted and he took a deep breath before coldly replying, “Humph! You’re quite arrogant. Even if I didn’t take the copper lantern, would you have let me go? I don’t know if you have the ability to kill me.”

When the scholar heard this, his gaze swept past Han Li’s huge sword. When he saw the strange scene of azure and purple flames coexisting, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

“Hehe! I haven’t seen a cultivator who dares to speak like this in front of me in many years. Sage Le, I’ll leave the cultivator with only one arm to you. I’ll take care of this young friend who knows Lightning Movement Techniques. I wonder how long he can last?”

A cruel expression appeared on the scholar’s face, but he didn’t seem to be using any magic treasures. His body blurred and silver light flashed from his left and right, revealing two people identical to the scholar. They wore the same clothes and had the same expression. The three of them looked at Han Li as if he were a dead man.

Han Li drew a sharp breath and swept his spiritual sense past them, but he was unable to determine the difference between the two clones and the true body. Regardless of their cultivation bases or auras, they were completely identical.

Although he was shocked, Han Li patted Silvermoon’s shoulder and quickly whispered something.

Silvermoon obediently nodded and released the restriction in her body, revealing the small fox in a flash of white light. With a swish, she obediently slipped into Han Li’s sleeve.

At that moment, the three scholars waved their sleeves and slowly floated toward Han Li.

Their movements were clearly slow and unhurried, but in just two or three steps, they were only over 100 feet away from Han Li.

Han Li’s expression changed drastically, and he flapped his silver wings without any hesitation before disappearing from sight.

“You want to run? Where can you run to?” The scholar chuckled. Soon after, silver light flashed from the people around him and they calmly chased after him. Two steps later, they also disappeared.

When the old man saw this, he suddenly leapt into the air with astonishing speed and wordlessly flew off in the opposite direction as a streak of white light.

When Cultivator Le saw this, she sneered and formed an incantation gesture with her hands before chasing after him as a gust of wind.

With the Divine Sage chasing after Han Li, she had nothing to worry about. Furthermore, this Heavenly South cultivator didn’t know any of the Lightning Movement Techniques, so he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape her grasp.

As for the grand formation, without a Nascent Soul cultivator, breaking it would be as easy as flipping her hand.

…

The sky was rather dark. In a desolate area, a thunderclap sounded out and silver lightning flashed, revealing Han Li with a pale face.

After he stabilized himself, he hastily looked behind him with a furious expression.

“Silvermoon, how many days have we been running?”

Silvermoon worriedly replied, “About four days and four nights. This person is indeed a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. Once Master stops to rest for less than half an hour, he will immediately sense you. Is it truly impossible to break free from his spiritual sense lock? That would be too dangerous. Although you have the Myriad Year Spirit Milk to support your magic power, you don’t have enough Divine Devilbane Lightning in your body. Without the ability to use Lightning Movement, you won’t be able to escape the pursuit of his Earth Shrinking Technique. This profound ability isn’t inferior to teleportation in the slightest. In a certain aspect, it is even better. If it weren’t for Master’s quick wits and we never fought him head-on, once we were caught up, even if you used Lightning Movement, it would’ve been difficult to escape.”

Han Li bitterly smiled and said, “A late-Nascent Soul cultivator’s spiritual sense is able to lock onto the aura of a person within several hundred kilometers. Although my spiritual sense far surpasses that of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, there is still a certain gap between me and a true late-Nascent Soul cultivator. After all, I haven’t completely mastered the Great Development Technique and have yet to acquire several layers of cultivation arts. Once this matter is over, I will immediately head to the Far West and obtain the rest of the incantation. In the past, my spiritual sense was always stronger than my opponent’s, but I didn’t think much of it. Now that I am inferior to my opponent, my hands are tied and I am unable to use many of my techniques.”
