The silver-armored figure facing off against the great beasts naturally had taken the same route as the group at the time of the encounter in the Mountain of the Magi-apes—no coincidence, it seemed, that he now found himself blocked by so many beasts. Upon noticing the unusual behavior of the two-horned monster across from him, the man of the surname Gui quickly turned around. To his surprise, he immediately spotted Han Li and the slender young woman who had just stepped out after him. Though initially startled, the foreigner soon brightened, his eyes gleaming with a hint of joy. Indeed, though he had appeared composed just moments before, his heart had been racing with genuine anxiety. He had not paused a single moment since leaving Han Li and the others, yet here he was, suddenly confronted by a host of beasts that had appeared out of nowhere. The majority of the beasts were mid-tier, but there were no fewer than thirty high-tier ones. Leading the charge was a two-horned humanoid creature whose own cultivation level was nearly on par with his own. Though proud, he knew that should combat begin, he would surely meet his end. The only hope lay in making a desperate effort to shake off these beasts and then fleeing as quickly as possible. But upon seeing several high-ranking creatures—seven or eight of them, each with one or more pairs of wings, resembling birds or flying insects—his doubts grew. These beasts, without a doubt, would not be slow in their movements. If only a few had come, he might have managed to keep up and possibly outdistanced them. But with so many converging at once, he felt utterly trapped and had no chance of escape. Now, with Han Li suddenly appearing, his pressure had been eased significantly, and the slim chance he had previously—less than ten percent—had suddenly grown to several times that. How could he fail to make the man with the surname Gui utterly delighted? As for Xian Xian, her expression had grown increasingly grim, while Han Li's face had improved somewhat, yet his eyes flickered constantly. He remained suspended in midair, motionless, lost in thought, unsure of what he was pondering. Although there were many wargs on the opposite side, they were all beings of awakened spirit and intelligence. Thus, though each one cast ill-tempered glances at the three figures across, no chaotic pandemonium of wailing and lamenting ensued. Instead, they stared at the trio with the solemnity of those viewing the dead. A strange silence settled over the scene. Before the black wind, no fewer than十余 beams of swift light flashed forth, surging ahead of the black wind and directly heading toward the three of Han Li. Within the black glow, the creatures were neither strange birds with three heads nor massive insects bearing enormous wings. As for the dual-horned demon, its body shimmered with a green radiance, and a seemingly ordinary green circular disc appeared beneath its feet. With a mere flick, it shot out over fifty paces, maintaining a speed no slower than that of the birds or insects. Its direction of advance was precisely toward Han Li’s position, and it seemed only a flash away from reaching him face-to-face. The movements of the young man of the Gui surname were no less swift. Almost simultaneously, the man suddenly opened his mouth wide, expelling a surge of blood-energy that instantly vanished into the blood carriage beneath his feet. The black vapor emitted by the carriage immediately began to wail like ghosts, and with a sharp "whoosh," the carriage vanished completely from its original spot. Yet, moments later, in the void some hundred zhang away, the carriage flickered into existence with an eerie appearance, then emitted a piercing cry before dissolving into a swirling mass of black vapor and vanishing into the distance. Facing the dozen or so white light spheres emitted by the herd of beasts, the spheres either burst forth from the mouths of the monsters or were crushed by their powerful hands, dispersing and vanishing one by one. However, the majority of the white spheres managed to escape, reaching over a hundred paces away. Among the numerous high-level beasts present, not a single one could discern which of the spheres was the true form of the crystal-kin maiden. Upon seeing that Han Li and his two companions—regardless of their levels of cultivation—had all evaded detection so effortlessly, the double-horned dragon beast was incensed beyond measure. It roared loudly, then spread its hands wide, instantly shattering two white spheres that passed by it. As it moved, its green disc beneath its feet shimmered and transformed into a lush, emerald-hued single-tree boat, which then surged forward in a powerful rush, directly pursuing Han Li. Behind it, a massive black magic eagle, measuring several zhang in height, and a large, serpentine blue bee, several feet long with faint flashes of lightning along its body, followed closely. Together, the three seemed determined, pursuing Han Li with a speed no less than that of a streaking rainbow Beyond that, several high-ranking beasts with sluggish speeds trailed after the Gui-family man. As for the others skilled in flight, after a brief hesitation, they charged toward the scattered white spheres. The beasts further back, capable of driving magical winds, roared and spontaneously formed three waves—two groups pursuing the direction of Han Li and the Gui-family man as they fled, while the remaining group surged toward the glowing spheres. Han Li naturally observed all that unfolded behind him with clear focus. Seeing that the Jing-ethnic woman indeed still held reserves, he relaxed and immediately focused entirely on steering his flight path to escape. At Han Li’s current speed, his progress was swift—almost instant kilometers covered. In mere moments, he had already traveled several hundred thousand li. Yet, when he turned to look back, he found three beasts still dogging his heels, closing in steadily over a hundred paces behind, never quite gaining distance. At a greater distance, that black wind was also faintly visible, pursuing with the same unwavering determination. Han Li's eyes flashed with cold brilliance. If it were merely three high-tier beasts behind him, he would not be troubled—but should these three ensnare him for a moment, and with the rest of the dozens of other beasts converging to surround him, his current, still-recovering修为 would truly prove insufficient. With this thought in mind, Han Li no longer hesitated as he flew. With a single hand gesture, thunder roared from behind him, and a pair of translucent, feather-like wings materialized. The two wings merely trembled slightly, and a thunderclap resonated. The green-hued streak of light quivered, then transformed into a streak of bright green-white electricity that shot forth—only to vanish instantly. A moment later, at a distance of over a hundred paces, a flash of green-white light appeared, and the electric arc surged forth with a thunderous roar. Yet this light paused only briefly before shooting out again and vanishing once more. Thus, Han Li swiftly summoned the wind and thunder wings, mastering the Lightning Technique to an extraordinary degree. The shimmering arcs of azure and pale light flickered in and out, and within just a few breaths, he pulled the three beasts behind him a distance of over a hundred paces. Wu Qi was first startled, then grew increasingly anxious. If this young man truly escaped from beneath her very eyes, her fate upon returning would be dire indeed. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and expelled a strange triangular bronze mirror, which glowed yellowish and appeared remarkably hazy on its surface. The dual-horned magic beast turned its head and addressed the other two higher-tier beasts, emitting a low roar. Upon hearing the sound, the magic eagle and the green bee exchanged glances, both now displaying hesitation. The dual-horned beast's expression flashed with fierce intensity, and then roared once more—this time, his voice was charged with an aura of menace. The Mageshark and Qingfeng shivered, then barely managed to open their mouths, each expelling a round orb the size of a fist—one black, one green—that vanished instantly into the mirror. The triangular bronze mirror immediately trembled, emitting a low hum, and its surface glow shifted suddenly to a blend of green and black. Wu Qi, seeing this, was overjoyed. She tossed the bronze mirror into the air and then opened her mouth, spitting out a gray orb. This orb spiraled around the mirror before vanishing with a flash into the mirror's surface. At once, the mirror's vibrations intensified, and its glow transformed into a triad of black, green, and gray. Then, the dual-horned mage extended a thick finger and struck the mirror firmly. The mirror's surface burst with radiant light, suddenly spewing out a cascade of three-colored light—like a dragon emerging from the sea. In a single flash, this light swept all three beasts into its embrace, while the mirror itself shimmered and disappeared within the radiance. Then, the rosy glow merely shifted, silently spanning seventy to eighty paces, like a ghost, directly pursuing the pale, electric arc. The three demons, leveraging their treasures, had unified their powers, and their speed had surged noticeably. Though it still appeared slightly slower than Han Li's, the fifth demon, Qi, breathed a deep sigh of relief. Since the opponent's cultivation level was even inferior to his own, the trio had combined their magical energies to power the artifacts. He believed that over time, the opponent could not sustain this strange pace, and eventually catching up would be inevitable. The pale electric arc led, faintly visible amid the deep rumbling thunder, while the three-toned glows trailed behind, silently and ghostly. With one leading and the other following, they gradually vanished at the horizon within a short while. The dark, swirling wind that had been chasing closely behind initially surged for several thousand miles, but as Han Li and the three beasts sped up, their traces eventually faded completely. With the Black Wind dispersing, over thirty mid-to-high tier mythical beasts emerged and stood there, gazing at each other in quiet astonishment.
