From the third silver eye of the great beast's four heads, a cascade of silver threads surged forth, shooting out in a relentless, torrential barrage. Amidst this onslaught, Li Shui'er, desperately dodging, clearly summoned her most potent spells and treasures. In addition to her silver loom, she separately activated a set of translucent white banners and a golden small drum. The white banners transformed into swirling masses of white mist, their internal characters swirling and shifting in unpredictable patterns. The golden drum spun rapidly, sending out waves of golden ripples that surged like thunderous waves, crashing against the great beast with tremendous force. As for Li Shui'er herself, besides the thousand hand mudras forming behind her, blossoms of luminous blue lotuses erupted from her palate—each one crystal-clear and resplendent. These ice lotuses possessed extraordinary power, far beyond ordinary. Any silver threads that had pierced through other defenses and occasionally reached close range were each deflected and struck by the rotating blue lotuses, causing them to burst and vanish simultaneously. Clearly, the exertion required to summon these ice lotuses was immense.
With every bloom she projected, her face grew suddenly pale. Within a short time, she had released well over a hundred blooms, her body now enveloped in a radiant aura, trembling and nearly on the verge of collapse. This was precisely why, upon seeing韩立 arrive, she had managed to hold on with great determination—otherwise, as soon as the four colossal beasts had first merged, she would have turned and fled. Now, upon seeing both韩立 and石昆 arrive promptly, her face lit up with joy, and she urgently exclaimed, "Ladies and gentlemen, these beasts are truly formidable! Quickly deploy your combined attack technique!"
Frantically watching the beasts below and about to intervene,韩立 paused upon hearing this, then nodded. With a firm press of his dark palm, a hazy glow behind him surged upward, expanding into a vast, shimmering light curtain.
On the other side,石昆 hesitated briefly before also issuing a low command. His body's luminous aura instantly turned dark. With a sudden spread of both hands and fingers, countless gray light filaments shot forth.
Meanwhile, Liu Shui'er exchanged his two hands' gestures, and the form behind him suddenly dissolved, replaced instead by a gray luminous wheel that slowly rose. The gray wheel, slightly blurred at first, began to spin rapidly. Countless characters surged forth within the wheel, then shattered and reformed swiftly, and within moments, a vast, unknown character gradually took shape at the center. Liu Shui'er lowered his gaze, and a series of profound and obscure incantations flowed steadily from his mouth. Upon seeing this, the four-beast giant creatures seemed to sense an impending misfortune. With a roar, the silver eyes in each of their four heads each emitted a silver beam significantly broader than usual, which then merged instantly into one, forming a massive, bowl-thick column of light that surged directly toward Liu Shui'er. At the same time, the several large black shadow forms suddenly split into two waves and charged fiercely toward Han Li and Shi Kun in the sky.
They had not yet closed the distance when a series of luminous beams surged forth with fierce momentum, their forms transforming mysteriously into vast black nets amidst swirling dark vapors, sweeping directly toward the heads of Han Li and his companion. Yet, these were but mere manifestations of the silver-eyed creatures—nothing remarkable in Han Li's eyes. With a single cold laugh, Han Li did not even raise his hands; a cluster of silver flames detached itself from his body, rolled once, and suddenly expanded to nearly ten feet in diameter, forming a large silver fireball. As the fireball spun gently, it suddenly burst open, showering the surrounding area with countless silver sparks. When the beams of light reached Han Li's front, the crystal shield flashed into view, deflecting the attack. The beams merely flickered and then slipped past Han Li's side, while the massive black nets formed by the creatures' shadows had not yet fully descended when they were struck by the dense barrage of silver sparks.
As a result, the silvery flame surged wildly, swiftly engulfing the black net and transforming it into plumes of green smoke that vanished entirely. As for Shi Kun, though he did not resolve his opponent as gracefully as Han Li, he suddenly opened his mouth and expelled a crimson bronze mirror. Upon trembling, the mirror emitted three hues of light, effortlessly dissipating the black light beams and even lifting the black silk net above him, preventing it from settling at all. Facing the massive silver light beam resembling a water tank, Liu Shui'er's face slightly paled, yet without hesitation, she pressed a strange hand seal with one hand and extended a slender finger from her jade hand, firmly touching the advancing silver beam. After a low hum from the gray light wheel behind her, it detached from her forearm and soared forward, directly toward the silver beam. The silver beam then surged and struck the symbolic inscription at the center of the light wheel with force.
The massive runes on the wheel spun rapidly, eventually blurring into an indistinct haze, barely legible. A strange phenomenon occurred. The light beam, as if sinking into the ground without a trace, simply vanished within the runes. Yet, at the very front of the great beast, a hazy glow flashed, and a rune about one zhang in size descended swiftly. Then, a brilliant silver radiance surged across its surface, and from within, a silver light beam of uniform thickness erupted, shooting straight toward the beast.
Li Shui'er had just performed an astonishing feat, pulling the silver beam directly into the void and then reflecting it back through a seamless transformation. However, this technique clearly demanded immense energy. Though her originally pale complexion now revealed a strange, unusual flush, she remained upright and steady. This rosy hue, however, vanished almost instantly.
The four great beasts, seeing their own attacks rebound, were stunned, and naturally grew furious, yet could only blink in surprise and flash a brilliant gleam in their silver eyes, releasing four more beams of silver light. A tremendous roar echoed as two streams of silver light collided, exploding into a brilliant, dazzling flash. A massive wave of silver light spread out, slightly distorting the surrounding space as it passed, accompanied by a continuous hum. In the meantime, Liu Shui'er rapidly launched her fingers toward the sky, releasing a series of colorful spell gestures that darted forth and vanished into the shimmering aura. "Go!" she cried out, then pressed her fingers firmly against the dense gray light wheel before her. The wheel trembled, and symbols at its center flashed rapidly, transforming into a slender column of gray light that surged forward. At that moment, Han Li and Shi Kun also maintained their composed expressions and simultaneously activated their own spell gestures. The gray light mist and individual gray filaments instantaneously converged and shot directly onto the heads of the four great beasts.
The three merged seamlessly, forming a single massive sphere over ten zhang in diameter. The sphere shimmered with a gray hue, yet countless seal-like symbols, each the size of a clenched fist, glowed brightly on its surface. Then, with a deep resonant boom, the sphere suddenly began to crack, the symbols surging forth like a tidal wave from within. Upon seeing this, Han Li and his two companions immediately performed their hand seals with practiced ease, their incantations rising once more. In the sky, an unusual scene unfolded: the symbols that shot out of the sphere gradually rotated and then plunged downward in a torrent, raining down upon the colossal beast below. Dense and relentless, each symbol seemed to carry the power of destruction. The great beast below, sensing the formidable force within the symbols, roared in fury, and its four heads suddenly converged upon one, compressing into a single, far more formidable and menacing head, shining in the dark light.
This beast not only sprouts two antler-like horns atop its head, but also boasts two tusk-like teeth stretching a zhang in length, extending diagonally from its mouth, gleaming with a cold radiance, as if two massive blades. What is even more astonishing is that a row of four silver eyes is clearly arranged across its forehead—some scanning continuously, others remaining still. When facing the symbols descending toward the sky, all four of its silver eyes simultaneously turn upward, and within their pupils, a shimmering silver light pulses and flows, instantly forming countless silver orbs hovering above its head—each orb only the size of a thumb. These orbs immediately burst forth as streaks of silver light, shooting upward. At the same time, the beast suddenly inhales deeply, then opens its mouth, expelling a luminous sphere of black as deep as ink. As soon as this sphere leaves the mouth, it rapidly expands, and in a flash, transforms into a solid black luminous curtain that completely envelops the beast’s body. The curtain is dense and tangible, its surface constantly flickering between darkness and brightness, appearing profoundly eerie.
Han Li, observing the scene from high above, could not help but slightly narrow his eyes, a flash of cold light passing through. At that very moment, the silver glow and the runes collided in midair, then burst into clusters of luminous sparks. For a brief while, the surrounding atmosphere became turbulent, the spiritual pressure surging violently, forming a gale over a hundred paces high that surged outward in all directions, as if eager to engulf half of everything around it. Even Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun were startled, their faces pale, and both shot back several paces, raising defensive artifacts to shield themselves. Yet at this instant, Han Li, who had been hovering in the sky, suddenly flapped his wings behind him, transforming into a streak of pale blue and white electricity, vanishing from his original spot in an instant. The next moment, a ripple of spatial disturbance emerged on one side of the dark light curtain below, and Han Li appeared there, strangely materializing within a shimmering arc of pale blue and white electricity.
Within the luminous screen, the great beast roared steadily, its silver eyes flashing as black scales began to emerge across its body. Long black whiskers grew from either side of its lower jaw, and its originally slender tail now thickened dramatically, complemented by its pair of lantern-like, massive eyes—clearly revealing the form of a qilin spirit creature. Black light shimmered within its mouth, radiating a fearsome aura that sent a shiver of unease through the onlookers.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light surged through its body, and it came to a sudden halt on a branch, turning its head to gaze back at the source, a hint of surprise flickering in its dark eyes.
