Chapter 1365: Jade Bone Human Demon

The man with the drooping eyebrows and Fatty Jin were naturally surprised by Han Li's actions. After exchanging a few words via subtle sound transmission, they immediately stopped speaking and moved to another corner, where they also sat down cross-legged.

Their reasoning was quite simple. Since they weren't confident they could overpower Han Li, and he showed no immediate intention of entering the light portal, they decided to adopt a wait-and-see strategy and let their elders handle this troublesome situation. This way, they would avoid inviting major trouble and truly burning themselves.

As a result, the entire space fell silent. The three individuals either closed their eyes to meditate or silently gazed at the light portal.

The two men naturally didn't know that Han Li was secretly smiling wryly at that moment. The "sound transmission talismans" and "restrictions" he had mentioned earlier were, of course, nothing but empty words.

Originally, his plan was to secretly take advantage of the situation, relying on the power of his Taiyi Purification Talismans if these individuals were indeed here to acquire treasures. If they turned out to be cultivators with exceptionally powerful abilities, he would simply monitor them from the shadows.

However, he had never anticipated that upon merely approaching the area, he would be enveloped by a strange multi-colored light. Not only was he inexplicably drawn into this space, but even the concealing abilities of his talismans were unexpectedly nullified.

As a result, he had no choice but to directly confront these cultivators.

Fortunately, he had already thought of several ways to make his opponents hesitate. With no other option, he had to prematurely disclose one of these methods, effectively deterring the two men.

Of course, this wasn't because Han Li thought he was no match for them.

Although the man with the drooping eyebrows was at the Mid-Nascent Soul stage and Fatty Jin at the Late-Nascent Soul stage, Han Li, with his current heaven-defying abilities and extensive repertoire of techniques, could unleash his full power and had at least an eighty percent chance of killing both of them on the spot.

While killing them would be simple, the consequences of rashly taking action would likely mean incurring the deep hatred of the two Void Refinement stage cultivators who had already entered the light portal.

Although he had no particular liking for those who had trespassed into this spiritual land, he absolutely did not want to truly provoke two powerful enemies.

Furthermore, even if he could easily kill the two men, being trapped in this mysterious space meant that if he couldn't leave in time and was encountered by the two Void Refinement cultivators upon their return, he would likely be the one in trouble.

In that case, it would be better to secretly seek an escape route first. Once his path of retreat was secure, it wouldn't be too late to decide his next move.

With his plan decided, Han Li closed his eyes, but his powerful spiritual sense had already transformed into countless threads, radiating in all directions.

Fatty Jin and the other man naturally noticed Han Li's unrestrained probing with his spiritual sense. However, they not only refrained from stopping him but also secretly sneered to themselves.

As a result, the moment a wisp of Han Li's spiritual sense touched the seven-colored light on one of the barrier walls, it vanished without a trace, as if swallowed by the sea. Furthermore, a powerful suction force was generated, causing Han Li's main spiritual sense to shake violently several times, nearly dislodging it from his body.

Han Li was greatly alarmed. He quickly circulated his Great Development Art, and only then did he manage to dissipate the suction force.

Because of this, Han Li immediately opened his eyes, gazing at the light on the nearby barrier walls with an uncertain expression.

He naturally noticed the hint of schadenfreude that appeared at the corners of the two men's mouths.

It seemed these two men had long been aware of the peculiar nature of the space's barrier walls and had deliberately intended for him to suffer a great loss.

Although Han Li felt a surge of anger, his expression immediately returned to normal, and he secretly began to intensely ponder other countermeasures.

Unfortunately, the imitation spatial spiritual treasure, the "Scarlet Soul Banner," which he had refined earlier, was destroyed by a spatial storm at a spatial node. Otherwise, it would have been highly effective in breaking through these spatial barriers.

Besides the Scarlet Soul Banner, his Shattering Demonic Eyes were also highly effective for tearing through space. However, this place was quite mysterious, and whether the Shattering Demonic Eyes could truly be effective in one strike remained to be seen.

Han Li's thoughts raced like lightning. A moment later, he had another idea.

Since his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate the barriers, he decided to try his Brightsight Spirit Eyes to see if he could find a way out.

He immediately injected spiritual power into his eyes, and deep within his pupils, a brilliant blue light shone forth...

A day and a night passed. Han Li, still in a corner of the space, had once again closed his eyes, appearing to be in deep meditation. It seemed his previous probing had not revealed a secure path to leave.

Meanwhile, the light portals within the seven light clusters in the air remained unchanged, showing no signs of movement.

The man with the drooping eyebrows and Fatty Jin, on the other hand, stared intently at the sky, their expressions beginning to grow grim. Naturally, they didn't forget to occasionally cast wary glances towards Han Li.

"It's been so long, and the two seniors haven't come out yet. Surely they haven't encountered any trouble inside?" Han Li's eyes were still closed, but he suddenly spoke these words.

"Friend Han, please rest assured," the man with the drooping eyebrows replied, a jolt running through him at Han Li's sudden words, but speaking without showing any weakness. "If my master and the others truly encountered an accident, we would naturally receive news. What's wrong, Brother Han? Have you grown impatient after waiting two days?"

"It's good that the two seniors are fine. This amount of time, I am still..."

Han Li smiled, about to say something more, when suddenly, the seven milky-white light clusters in the space abruptly emitted a buzzing sound. They then released astonishing spiritual pressure and glowed brilliantly throughout.

At this sight, not only were the two men greatly startled, but Han Li also opened his eyes, narrowing them as he looked over.

The anomaly had only just begun! As the buzzing sound intensified, the seven light clusters rapidly expanded while spinning. In an instant, they grew from head-sized to as large as cartwheels, beginning to flicker wildly, expanding and contracting.

Around the seven light clusters, layers of water-like spatial ripples suddenly emerged, sweeping across the central light portal.

In an instant, the light portal seemed to be squeezed by an invisible immense force, immediately twisting and blurring violently.

"This is bad!" Fatty Jin exclaimed, his face changing drastically, as he sprang up from the ground at the sight.

The man with the drooping eyebrows also wore a look of horror.

Han Li's expression also became extremely grim.

This was because at this moment, not only were the light clusters in the air undergoing such changes, but the ground and the surrounding barrier walls also began to tremble slightly. Even the seven-colored light showed signs of dissipating and melting away.

This was clearly a sign that the entire space was about to collapse.

With his life at stake, Han Li immediately stood up without a word. He touched his head with one hand, and suddenly, layers of hazy gray light emerged from behind him.

Then, with a flip of his hand, a golden light flashed, and three glittering golden orbs impressively appeared.

These were precisely the three Lightning-Pattern Orbs he had recently refined.

At this moment, although the man with the drooping eyebrows and Fatty Jin also unleashed their spiritual treasures, having witnessed the mysteriousness of this space, they had little confidence they could truly break through the spatial barriers and escape. Their faces were all filled with extreme panic.

Han Li naturally wouldn't concern himself with the lives or deaths of the other two. He took a deep breath, intending to cast a spell to unleash his Shattering Demonic Eyes from between his brows. He would then combine their power with his Primordial Magnetic Divine Light and the Lightning-Pattern Orbs to forcefully tear open the space and escape.

But at that very moment, a sudden tremendous roar echoed from the light portal in the air.

Han Li was startled, and his movements involuntarily paused.

Then, the light portal flashed with seven-colored light, and from its center, a dazzling green light and a golden streak shot out.

These two streaks of escape light circled in the air like dazzling rainbows. Their radiance then faded, revealing a small jade-green flood dragon and a golden midget about a foot tall.

The jade-green flood dragon had one of its two horns broken off and many scales missing from its body. As for the golden midget, his hair bun was undone, and a large section of his golden robe was inexplicably missing.

Both of them were in a thoroughly disheveled state.

"Hurry, let's go! This isn't the resting place of Revered Master Qianbao at all; it's a prison for a 'Jadebone Human Devil'!" the golden midget cried out furiously. "We triggered an ancient cultivator's restriction, and this devil has already broken free. The space is about to collapse because of it. Huh, who are you?" He had just finished speaking when he spotted Han Li, who had a flickering gray halo above his head, and was greatly astonished.

"Grandfather, he's that young man named Han, he..." Overjoyed to see the two emerge, Fatty Jin subtly moved his lips, quickly transmitting a few words to the jade-green flood dragon and the midget, briefly explaining Han Li's background.

"The owner of this spiritual land!" As soon as the jade-green flood dragon heard this, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and a wisp of killing intent emerged.

"Brother Ming, what are you trying to do?" the golden midget transmitted to the flood dragon, a flash of surprise also crossing his face. "We barely have time to escape; how can we cause more trouble at this moment? If our avatars were to perish because of this, it wouldn't be worth it. Besides, don't forget, he's an ascended cultivator. I have no interest in provoking those madmen."

"Very well," the jade-green flood dragon said wisely, retracting its killing intent after a moment of hesitation. "Let's first work together to leave this place. As long as we don't personally act, even if Zhao Wugui and the others come looking for us, it won't concern me. Once the space collapses, let this child and that Jadebone Human Devil be buried here together. It's a pity we are only avatars here; otherwise, why would we fear this devil? Let's go."

"That's right. Hurry and act, this space can't hold on much longer!"

Immediately, he formed a hand seal with both hands while chanting incantations. His wooden sword, which was on his back, trembled and then impressively shot into the air, transforming into a massive light sword about ten feet long.

The jade-green flood dragon also let out a dragon's roar. Its body rolled, and surprisingly, amidst a storm of wind and lightning, it transformed into a massive green flood dragon over ten zhang long. A twisted green horn protruded from its head, covered in intertwining purple lightning that flashed incessantly, making it appear incredibly imposing.

Although he didn't know what these people had just discussed, upon seeing the massive sword and the flood dragon unleash such astonishing divine abilities, Han Li's heart also tensed.

At this moment, the light from the surrounding spatial barriers had completely dissipated. The surface of the barriers had begun to hum, and they were already extremely distorted.
