That black glow must have been the Magic Sap Flying Blade! Though this blade is indeed extraordinary, especially skilled at concealing its presence, it still leaves certain traces when appearing suddenly from the void at close range—particularly noticeable to senior cultivators. Therefore, Han Li first delivered a powerful shock to the opponent's mind with the Divine-Soaring Piercing Strike, causing intense pain that instantly prompted the opponent to involuntarily draw in his spirit awareness. Only then could Han Li allow the Magic Sap Flying Blade to materialize from behind and swiftly strike the opponent's neck, cleanly severing their head. The turning point of the battle occurred in that brief instant. Otherwise, even if Han Li had other means to subdue the opponent, it would have taken considerable time and effort—far beyond a mere moment. To be honest, this warrior had been overly confident in his armored form, never expecting that Han Li could wield a magic-essence flying dagger—a technique that effortlessly disregarded magical energy. The magical energy had failed to cohere with his armor, offering him no respite, and Han Li struck swiftly and successfully. However, as the Yin Luo Sect's master lay lifeless, his head and body separated, Han Li, who had remained motionless, suddenly flapped his wings behind him, transforming into a streak of azure light and vanishing into the void. Instantly, Han Li's figure appeared upon the lifeless body. Yet at that very moment, the body began to strangely swell, and then, with a tremendous burst, a wave of blood surged outward, scattering in all directions—much of it directly toward the newly emerged Han Li. Han Li was genuinely startled and, without hesitation, raised both hands. Thunder roared! Two thick golden arcs shot forth, interlacing to form a vast golden net, which then surged back against the blood cloud. That blood cloud, though a cruel secret technique capable of transforming cultivators' flesh and blood into offensive power, was precisely countered by the Purifying Divine Thunder. As soon as the two met, the blood cloud—originally appearing formidable and overwhelming—immediately began to disintegrate and vanish under the flashing golden light. However, in the brief moment of disruption, a small figure of pure black, enveloped by a fragment of blood cloud, managed to flee ahead of the others. This black figure was none other than the Yuan婴 (Immortal Emanation) of Yin Luo Sect. In the span of an instant, it had already darted thirty zhang away before revealing itself and activating its instantaneous teleportation technique. After flashing twice, it carried the blood cloud another several zhangs, now distancing itself from Han Li by over a hundred zhang, appearing to be on the verge of escape. Seeing this, Han Li's expression darkened, and he suddenly chuckled coldly. A thunderous rumble erupted behind him, with thick arcs of pale and bright blue electricity appearing simultaneously on both of his wings. Then, one after another, glowing thunderballs materialized behind him, drifting and rotating around the pair of wings. With a flick of his Wind-Thunder Wings, all the lightning spheres burst, and the azure-white electric arcs instantly flowed into the wings. Amidst the thunderous roar, Han Li suddenly transformed into a streak of electric arc, then vanished in a flash. After a single breath, the arc shot out thirty zhang away, only to vanish again with another thunderclap. The next time, it appeared at a distance of several dozen zhang, swiftly closing in on the escaping Yuan-Stage cultivator. As the Yin-Luo Sect's abbot turned his head in the blood-cloud, he just caught sight of Han Li's miraculous Wind-Thunder Transcendence, and instantly grew alarmed. With a sudden chill, he no longer hesitated to expend his fundamental essence, pressing his palms together in gestures, and his Yuan-Stage spirit body transformed into a beam of blood light, vanishing from the spot—intending to escape through successive instant-transfers. At that moment, Han Li had just emerged some forty zhang behind, and upon seeing the scene ahead, he emitted a soft exhalation. A delicate streak of blood appeared on his brow, then a flash of black light, and a dark, black eye slowly materialized. It was precisely the Shattered Method of Vision that Han Li had been cultivating within himself for a long time. As soon as this vision manifested, a flash of black light surged through his pupils, and a streak of deep black radiance shot forth, vanishing instantly into the space before him. Yet immediately thereafter, a thunderous burst echoed from ahead. Then, a flash of black light, and the Yuan婴 staggered, falling out of the void as though the teleportation spell had only been half-executed and then violently disrupted. Yet the Yuan婴 looked utterly startled, as if it still couldn't believe Han Li had truly managed to break its teleportation technique. Its face flushed and paled several times, and then, with a firm determination, it pressed its palm to its brow and vanished once more. Han Li frowned, his expression growing increasingly grave. As a second streak of black light erupted from his eyes, he flapped his wings behind him, and himself dissolved into a streak of electric arc. Thus, when the Yuan婴 was once again hurled out of the void by the black light, Han Li's form had already materialized some dozen paces behind it. The Yuan Ying was greatly startled, lifting his hand and sending several green threads rushing toward Han Li. Han Li raised his hand in response, launching several fiery threads as well. As soon as the two streams made contact, a series of crisp crackling sounds erupted, and the green threads revealed themselves—transforming into slender, fine green needles. Seizing the opportunity, the Yuan Ying swiftly retreated, his light trail fading behind him, aiming to escape once more. However, Han Li, now well-prepared, merely shook his sleeve with a composed expression, and a golden flash shot forth, vanishing instantly. Moments later, a faint thunderclap echoed from ahead. The chief of Yin Luo Sect gasped in pain, suddenly clutching his chest with both hands, where a small golden sword, only a few inches long, was firmly embedded—but only halfway through, without piercing his body. Yet the electric arcs leaping from the sword struck the Yuan Ying with solid force. The cultivation technique the chief of Yin Luo Sect had been specializing in was clearly an ancient magical method. After being directly struck by Jin Hu, the entire body flashed with dark light, and the immortal embryo displayed evident signs of distress, beginning to disintegrate. Han Li's eyes flashed, and with a subtle shift in stance, he materialized like a ghost directly above the embryo. Without a word, he rubbed his palms together, and a golden arc as thick as a serving bowl appeared between them, emitting a thunderous roar that sent shivers through the onlookers. "Wait a moment, I have something to say!" The embryo below, witnessing this, instantly turned pale, and suddenly cried out in alarm. "But I have no interest in listening to any of your words," Han Li replied, completely undisturbed. His hands continued their movements without pause. With a single gesture, the golden arc transformed into a colossal golden serpent and surged downward. The chief of Yin Luo Sect was both astonished and fearful. Though the immortal embryo had already sustained severe injuries, it certainly would not simply sit idle. At once, a flash of spiritual light emanated from his body, as he prepared to unleash another secret technique, determined to fight to Yet at that moment, suddenly from the other side of the sky, several feet away from the Yuan婴, a cascade of silvery hair erupted unexpectedly from the void, swiftly ensnaring the Yuan婴 before it could react. The other end of the hair shimmered with jade light, and silently, a small tripod materialized. It was the Xutian Treasure Tripod! The senior cultivator was stunned. As the silvery threads bound him, his inner cultivation energy inexplicably grew sluggish and stagnant, causing his heart to sink deeply. With no escape in sight, the golden giant serpent soared above his head, opened its maw, and prepared to swallow him whole. The Yuan婴 grew pale as paper. Just as he was about to close his eyes and accept his fate, the next instant, he found himself unharmed—while a tremendous explosion resonated behind him. He opened his eyes in surprise, yet his heart leapt with sudden alarm. For without realizing it, Han Li had already advanced to stand before him, now only a few steps away, calmly observing him. "You..." The Yin Luo Sect's master felt a sudden stir in his heart, ready to speak when suddenly, Han Li merely flicked his expressionless finger, sending out several streaks of silver light that plunged into the Yuan婴's body. Unfortunate! Naturally aware of the trouble, the Yin Luo Sect master was still formulating thoughts when he suddenly fainted, his eyes rolling back. Han Li then spun his hand once, causing several sealing scroll talismans to appear. With a sweeping motion of his sleeve, he swiftly covered the unconscious Yuan婴 with them. Then, he lightly touched the celestial cauldron in the air. Instantly, the celestial cauldron emitted a clear chime, and the silken strands swept back, successfully enclosing the Yuan婴 within the vessel. Only then did Han Li relax, turning his gaze toward the other side to observe the Wu Mo and the San Shi. At this moment, the Wu Mo, leveraging the power of the extreme cold flame, had likewise tightly contained the San Shi. And as he turned his gaze, the five demons simultaneously rolled, transforming into ghostly heads, then roared, charging straight into the five-colored flame sea toward the sluggish three corpses. Han Li smiled slightly, gathered all the treasures floating in the air—regardless of enemy or ally—then gestured toward the humanoid automaton. With that, he stepped down, carrying the small cauldron, settling onto a remote mountain ridge below. The humanoid automaton swayed slightly and followed silently. While the five demons were gaining the upper hand, Han Li reappeared, drifting down from the mountain base. However, the Heavenly Virtual Cauldron was now gone. He glanced at the five demons mostly devoured and remained silent, calmly observing the final clash between the demons, his expression thoughtful. "You've truly decided to go it alone and face Yin Luo Sect!" came the child's voice, calm and steady. "It's not really about whether I'm going or not!" Based on the information obtained through soul-searching this house master of Yin Luo Sect, as long as I avoid a few particularly powerful seals, Yin Luo Sect no longer poses any significant threat to me. Moreover, currently only about five or six senior elders remain within the sect's main hall, while the rest have gone out to deal with other opposing forces. This is precisely the right opportunity—first eliminate the senior elders stationed at the main hall, then move on to those who have gone out. Though I still cannot be certain of the exact whereabouts of the other senior elders of Yin Luo Sect through soul-searching, I now have a clear general sense of their locations. I will not allow the remaining cultivators of Yin Luo Sect to unite and jointly oppose me." Han Li replied calmly. "Master Han, your confidence is most reassuring. However, Master, are you merely aiming to secure the banners and then depart, or do you truly intend to bring Yin Luo Sect to its knees?" The child shifted the topic and asked this directly. Upon hearing this, Han Li paused thoughtfully, and after a while, chuckled and said: "What I truly intend, matters not at all!" With the senior cultivator no longer stationed at the peak and further diminished by the absence of another six or seven Yuan-Infant-level elders, Tianlan believes that Yin Luo Sect will still be able to maintain its status among the Top Ten Sects? Probably, at that point, the sects that have already been critical of it, as well as those with longstanding grudges, will take the initiative to approach on their own. What need will I have to do any additional work? (Second update!)
