Chapter 1328: The Brute Humans

Back to Chapter List
"It's a Barbarian beastman! Kill him quickly!" As soon as he saw the stranger's strange appearance, Ma Daoist grew pale, as if confronted with a serpent or scorpion, and exclaimed immediately. Upon hearing the terms "Barbarian beastman," the blue-eyed man and others from the Ye family showed clear signs of astonishment. Without hesitation, they launched their various ancient treasures—rare outside the realm—such as "scales," "seals," "imprints," and "flags," which instantly transformed into colorful luminous orbs. With a flurry of glowing light, these treasures enveloped the strange figure and the massive beast beneath them. It was evident that Han Li's subordinates truly held the Barbarian beastmen in high regard. Yet what puzzled the blue-eyed man and his companions was that Han Li himself showed no intention of intervening. After revealing the beastman's illusion, he simply stood floating, arms behind his back, completely delegating the situation to them. Though somewhat frustrated, the Ye family members found themselves unable to ask Han Li any questions due to the vigorous counterattacks from the strange figure below. To the astonishment of the strange figure, a strange laugh escaped his lips, and with a slight shift of his shoulders, the yellow gale surged forth once more, coiling and advancing directly toward the oncoming attacks. At the same time, the monster beneath suddenly emitted a vibrant emerald glow from its entire body, and from its lower section, dozens of identical flesh tendrils extended. With a mere flick of these tendrils, they transformed into shimmering green light, joining the gale in its assault against the sky. At the same time, the otherwise tranquil surface of the water erupted into waves, revealing a vast, transparent mouth stretching several dozen feet in length, filled with shimmering, ice-like fangs. The water pond itself had seemingly transformed into a colossal, unknown creature of complete transparency. As this transparent giant shifted, it surged toward Han Li in the air. Not only was it transparent, but its movements were utterly silent, as if it were formless and intangible. Han Li, however, remained motionless, gazing steadily at the battle unfolding on the other side, as if completely unaware of the disturbance below. In an instant, the giant came within mere dozen feet of Han Li. Its silver eyes flashed with fierce intensity, and its massive mouth closed in for a powerful bite. At that moment, a flash of gray light erupted behind Han Li, and his Yuanmagnetic Divine Light swept out in an eerie manner, forming countless fine, slender filaments that shot straight downward. Startled, the creature attempted to evade, but it was too late! A sound like rain tapping on a fence rippled out, and a hazy stream of light pierced through the colossal beast, then curled around it, tightly ensnaring most of its body. Han Li's figure slightly blurred, as if a ghost, turned his back to the beast. Without a word, he opened his mouth, and a small, dark mountain erupted forth. This mountain spun rapidly, swelling to countless times its original size, and suddenly transformed into a towering peak over a hundred paces high, rising above the transparent creature. Upon seeing this sight, the beast immediately sensed the peril, its body trembling wildly as it struggled to break free. Yet, as a water-element creature belonging to the Five Elements, it found it difficult to escape the binding power of the yuan-magnetic divine light. The gray light threads flashed rapidly, tightening their hold on the beast even further. Meanwhile, Han Li began murmuring incantations. After emitting a resonant hum, the mountain descended, and as soon as it touched the creature, it pressed down firmly, forcing the beast to plummet straight downward. A tremendous roar echoed. The mountain pressed the giant beast halfway into the ground, firmly anchoring it so that it could not move an inch. Han Li then calmly studied the creature with a neutral expression. Suddenly, a loud cry came from behind him. Han Li's brow furrowed slightly, and he slowly turned around. It was the green-skinned creature who had been battling fiercely with the blue-eyed man and others—now, seeing the transparent giant locked in Han Li's spell, he grew frantic and emitted a sharp, piercing cry. The green figure ceased manipulating the hurricane above and instead swiftly pressed his palm against the giant's body, then rapidly descended, vanishing within the creature's form within moments. "He's merging! We must act quickly to stop him!" The blue-eyed man was initially relieved when he saw Han Li calmly subduing the other monster, but his expression tightened immediately upon observing the green creature's actions. The young man of the Ying surname and the others were all startled upon hearing this, and immediately poured abundant spiritual energy into their respective treasures, causing them to surge with greatly enhanced power. In the meantime, the unattended yellow gale was scattered by the various treasures. However, this brief delay allowed the giant's body to ripple with emerald glimmers, its form gradually deforming. First, its feet and hands, then its entire body slowly elongated, until a bare, towering head emerged. Under the strange man's control, the creature transformed into a massive, uniformly dark giant, reaching several tens of zhang in height, clad in deep purple-black scales, with lantern-like eyes of solemn, jade-green hue. As soon as it appeared, the giant's massive hands immediately charged upward into the sky, delivering two powerful punches, each pulsing with steady streams of purple-black light. "Boom! Boom!" The sound reverberated through the air, and several dozen treasures that had formed radiant light halos in the sky were shattered by the force of the punches. Most of the artifacts emitted cries of distress and swiftly ascended to avoid the impact. Only the young Xu Princess raised her delicate brows, exhaled a cold breath, and then lightly touched her snow At that moment, the flying sword emitted a long, resonant cry, transforming into a blade several zhang long, which, after a brief flicker, mysteriously vanished from its original spot. Instantly, a blade of ice shot forth from seven to eight zhang above the giant's head, cutting down with tremendous force. The young woman had resolved to single-handedly defeat this formidable being, a fusion of human and beast. Yet, she had not anticipated that though the giant was colossal in stature, its movements were remarkably swift—upon seeing the ice blade descend, it opened its massive mouth, and a golden phoenix roared forth, blowing the sword violently until it wavered and could not make proper contact. Then, a massive hand of deep black and purple surged forward, seizing the sword firmly. The giant's face grew fierce, and with the other hand, it grasped the blade's shaft. Its expression conveyed clear intent to shatter the sword at once. Witnessing this, Xu Xianzi's face instantly paled. This sword was her true essence artifact—should it sustain any damage, her spirit would be deeply affected, and she would surely suffer greatly. This woman desperately pressed her sword gestures, striving to draw back the flying sword. Yet though the ice sword suddenly burst forth with waves of pale, cold mist and trembled violently throughout its body, it remained utterly unable to break free from the giant's powerful hands. As the giant took a deep breath and prepared to exert his strength, ripples of space surged around him—right before him, at close range, a thick black beam, as wide as a bowl, flashed and erupted, striking his chest. Remarkably, despite its slender appearance compared to the giant's massive frame, this slender beam sent him staggering, forcing him to retreat several steps. At the very instant the black beam finished its surge, a silver firebird shot forth from the same spot—size of a clenched fist, wings spread—boldly charging straight at the giant. Remarkably, though the giant appeared overwhelmingly strong, upon seeing the silver firebird, his emerald eyes narrowed sharply, and a look of genuine fear appeared on his face. Just as he had steadied himself, he promptly turned and fled, running wildly backward. But just as the giant took two steps forward, a sudden "pffft" sound erupted from the ground nearby, and十余 red filaments shot out, swiftly wrapping around the giant's two massive feet. Instantly glowing brightly, they transformed into thick, roaring flames that tightly bound the giant's feet, immobilizing him completely. In shock and fury, the giant lowered both hands to grasp and tear the flames apart. At that very moment, however, the silver firebird from behind seized no such opportunity, darting forward with lightning speed and transforming into a surge of silver flame that surged directly onto the giant's back. A deep thud echoed as the silver flame seemed dropped into a pot of oil, spreading rapidly. The giant could no longer focus on the flames, only emitting sharp, piercing cries of distress. Then, suddenly, a yellow gale emerged around his body, sweeping directly over the silver flame, aiming to extinguish it entirely. But a startling scene unfolded: when the yellow gale touched the silver flame, instead of drawing the shadow fire into its path, it was ignited itself. Within just a few breaths, the colossal giant—towering like a mountain—was completely engulfed in flames. The cries of agony that had risen from within the fire ceased abruptly. The giant's massive form wavered once, then collapsed to the ground. Moments later, its body was entirely consumed by the silver flame, leaving not a single trace behind in this realm. At that moment, Han Li's figure flickered, and he suddenly appeared above the silver flame. With a casual upward gesture, he summoned a surge of silver fire that instantly coiled into a compact orb, then transformed into a fiery bird that darted back. Simultaneously, the十余 fire cords shimmered and turned into crimson threads, which Han Li gathered with a simple flick of his sleeve. Of course, this was when all the foreign forces had lost their ability to resist, lying still and utterly unable to move or oppose.
