Chapter 384: Slaying the High-Rank Cultivator
When the Jiedan period cultivator within the formation slowed, over a dozen crystalline white ice spears shot out from the seawater on one side, fiercely thrusting toward his back.
Elder Gu’s originally clumsy body suddenly regained its agility. He swiveled around with a flick, raised his hand, and a massive yellow moon-blade shot from his grasp. In the blink of an eye, the sneaking ice spears were smashed to bits with a series of cracks and pops, and without slowing, the blade hurtled straight toward the direction the ice serpent had fired from.
At the same time, the seawater behind Elder Gu suddenly parted, and a blood-red crimson light pillar shot out. Because it was so fast and the distance so short, and Elder Gu was still constrained by the formation, he had no time to dodge. His expression shifted slightly, his body’s yellow light surged, and he forced himself to take the hit head-on.
The blood-light, as thick as an arm, struck the Jiedan period cultivator and sent him stumbling forward two steps, swaying and barely able to stand.
But just then, a flash of green light on one side, and Han Li appeared out of thin air beside Elder Gu, both hands gripping a huge silver sword, slashing down fiercely at an angle.
This time, Elder Gu was truly shocked! There had clearly been no one here just a moment ago—what kind of escape technique had the opponent used that was so bizarre?
Though his heart was shaken, the yellow light around him instinctively surged, ready to take Han Li’s giant sword head-on.
Han Li gave a soft chuckle, and his figure vanished from before Elder Gu’s eyes. Meanwhile, the sound of air splitting came from all around—over a dozen fine red lines, thin as bowstrings, suddenly appeared and thrust viciously toward him.
“Flying needles!” Elder Gu was horrified! He naturally knew all too well about the infamous “yin tools” of the cultivation world.
Instantly, his entire body’s yellow light blazed bright. He intended to destroy these sinister magical tools immediately, to avoid being secretly attacked without realizing it.
A thunderous boom! Han Li reappeared behind him and slashed down with his sword, making the yellow light tremble instantly. Then, the dozen or more red lines, like venomous serpents, bizarrely burrowed into the yellow light, piercing several feet deep and still drilling forward fiercely.
Elder Gu was both shocked and furious. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he reached toward his storage pouch.
At this moment, he finally understood—under the opponent’s formation and bizarre attacks, with his vitality severely drained and only a single magical treasure to rely on, victory seemed almost impossible.
