Chapter 1917: Intense Battle with the Three Demons (Part 2)

Volume Ten: War in the Demon Realm

Hearing this, the one-horned elder was naturally overjoyed. He immediately agreed and slightly altered his direction of flight.

A short while later, the demon saw the shadows of a few isolated small mountains in the distance. He immediately felt relieved and glanced behind him. Roughly ten li away, a streak of emerald light had just barely caught up to the nearby void.

The demon's central face twisted into a ferocious expression. The flaming flying wheels beneath his feet spun, and he lunged directly towards those small mountains. That was exactly where the other two high-ranking Demon Lords were hiding, having also set up an extremely secretive magic formation. According to the demon's plan, even though only one person seemed to be pursuing him initially, as long as they could use this formation to first kill that human cultivator, the remaining Han Li would naturally be nothing to fear with the three of them combined.

In the distance, the Silverlight Immortal, within her emerald shuttle, saw this scene and showed no hesitation. She also vigorously urged her spirit treasure forward, chasing after him. In just a few breaths' time, the two of them arrived near the small mountains, one after the other.

Just as the elder demon flashed, he was about to vanish into one of the small mountains. But just at this moment, a thunderous roar, like a clap of thunder, suddenly echoed from above the elder demon. Then, with a flash of lightning, a four-winged giant Roc, its body entwined with silver snakes, menacingly materialized from the void. Its four wings quivered slightly, and the giant Roc's body blurred, vanishing as a streak of lightning.

The next moment, the elder demon felt a thunderous roar above his head as a pair of enormous steel claws ripped through the air and arrived with such speed that he had no time to dodge in the slightest. In his shock and fury, he could only desperately shake his head, violently tilting his two side heads that were under the steel claws. Simultaneously, his protective spiritual light surged several times over, forming a dazzling, seemingly solid curtain of light.

With successive "thwacks," his protective spiritual light was shattered with a single strike, like flimsy paper. Then, the elder demon let out a mournful shriek as his body trembled and plummeted straight down from the air. Two streams of blood simultaneously spurted from his shoulders, which had been pierced through by the steel claws with lightning speed.

However, this demon was no ordinary being. While unexpectedly injured, the two flaming flying wheels beneath his feet whistled and instantly transformed into two head-sized bloody fireballs, which shot directly towards the giant Roc in the air. Before the fireballs even touched the giant Roc's body, a strange, intense heat, as if capable of incinerating the very sky, surged forth.

At the same time, the elder demon twisted his body and transformed back into a long rainbow, shooting towards the nearby small mountain that was only a short distance away. As long as he could enter the demon formation set up there, with the assistance of his two ready companions, he naturally would no longer fear the giant Roc's pursuit.

However, the four-winged giant Roc in the air, witnessing this scene, let out a cold snort. A layer of five-colored light suddenly emanated from its body, and with a roll, it astonishingly transformed into an extremely beautiful five-colored peacock. As this spirit bird unfurled its feathers, clusters of five-colored halos blossomed forth, astonishingly forming five enormous light rings which shot towards the two bloody fireballs. With a flap of its wings, the five-colored peacock itself transformed into a cloud of five-colored light and vanished once more.

The two bloody fireballs struck these light rings, emitting "pop-pop" explosive sounds. They pierced and melted three of them, but solidified and were blocked by the fourth light ring. The latter two light rings' five-colored light suddenly rolled back, astonishingly enshrouding and trapping the two bloody fireballs within them, transforming them into two enormous orbs of light. With two thunderous "rumble" sounds, the two enormous orbs of light self-detonated, and vast swaths of five-colored light surged and scattered.

The one-horned elder, who had just fled, was enveloped by a flash of the five-colored light. He felt his body sink as the surrounding air seemed to instantly become a hundred times denser, inevitably slowing his escape speed.

"Not good, fellow Daoists, quickly come save me!" the one-horned elder urgently shouted. As a Demon Lord with vast combat experience far surpassing ordinary cultivators, he immediately knew he was in a dire predicament upon seeing this situation. The sound directly shook the nearby void, causing it to hum.

As for the demon himself, he painstakingly formed a hand seal, and a black light circulated over his body. Suddenly, a black and red battle armor appeared, its surface covered with exquisite silver runes, clearly not an ordinary item at first glance. However, just as this Demon Lord managed to set up this defense, two massive, golden fists suddenly rushed straight towards his chest with two "whooshing" sounds from within the five-colored light that had enveloped him.

Under the restriction of the five-colored light, the elder demon was utterly unable to dodge this attack. He could only desperately pour all his magical power into his armor. Instantly, the black and red battle armor shone brilliantly, like a black and red sun. However, with Han Li's current Heaven-Overturning True Devil Arts and astonishing divine power, the might of these two fists was absolutely no less than a full-power strike from an ordinary spirit treasure.

With a loud, metallic scraping sound! The first golden fist fiercely struck the demon armor. The point of impact trembled like waves of shock, and astonishingly, a large dent appeared. However, the silver runes circulated, and the demon armor did not crack. But with another hum, the other fist also struck the dent with lightning speed.

With two successive heavy blows, like giant hammers, the demon armor could no longer withstand it and immediately shattered with a mournful cry, revealing a layer of dark, gleaming scales beneath. The golden fist showed no hesitation and solidly struck the Demon Lord's body. But after a muffled thud, like dead wood, and amidst an interweaving of golden and black light, the elder demon's body only swayed slightly, as the fist was astonishingly blocked by that inconspicuous layer of scales.

Seeing this, the elder demon's face showed a sinister grin. His six arms simultaneously clawed at the surrounding void, demonic energy coiling around his five fingers. The dazzling light around him twisted and swayed, seemingly on the verge of being torn apart by his grasp.

At this moment, a long howl suddenly echoed from the small mountain, and two demonic figures shot out from it, transforming into two astonishing rainbows that hurtled directly towards the elder demon. They were precisely the other two Demon Lords at the Integration stage.

But just at this moment, the golden fist that struck his body suddenly crackled with a flurry of sounds like a plucked pipa. Countless golden electric snakes, accumulated power for a long time, shot out like a tide and instantly transformed into a massive electric net, completely enveloping the elder demon's entire body. Amidst a storm of lightning and thunder, the elder demon let out a mournful shriek. His demon armor shattered inch by inch under the furious assault of the golden arcs, and the seemingly indestructible black scales beneath also simultaneously grew dull and lifeless.

With a "thwack!" The golden fist's five fingers spread open, transforming into a palm which then plunged into the elder demon's chest. Then, the golden arcs on the surface of the five fingers receded, and a layer of silver flame appeared in their place. Tumbling and surging, it instantly enveloped the demon's entire body.

"No!"

The elder demon let out a loud cry and was instantly completely engulfed by the surging silver flames, turning into ashes, not even his nascent soul able to escape in the slightest.

At this moment, the five-colored light surged, and a golden, hazy human figure fully emerged from within it. It was Han Li, who had reverted to his human form. Only at this moment, his entire body shimmered with golden light, indicating that his Brahma Holy True Devil Arts were operating at their peak.

At this moment, the two demonic figures in the distance, which had transformed into astonishing rainbows, also arrived in the nearby void almost simultaneously. As their escape lights receded, a bald demon with a ferocious appearance and a high-ranking demon with blue demonic patterns on his face appeared in their original forms nearby. They looked with incredulous gazes towards Han Li and the fiercely burning silver flames.

"Brother Han, you killed that Demon Lord just now!" From behind Han Li, a woman's surprised voice also came. It was the Silverlight Immortal, who had also arrived nearby in her emerald shuttle. Flashing out, she asked, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

"It was just a stroke of luck," Han Li replied, his expression somewhat grim, as he looked at the two new high-ranking demons opposite him. "But now the trouble seems to be a bit greater!" As soon as his words fell, he suddenly beckoned forward with one hand. The fiercely burning silver spiritual flame immediately let out a clear, chirping bird call. Then, all the silver flames condensed and transformed into a ten-foot-long silver firebird. As this firebird spread its wings, it flashed and appeared above Han Li's head, then, with extreme intelligence, began to circle and dance erratically up and down. This made the two demons opposite contract their pupils, their expressions becoming even more solemn.

"Good, good! You dare to kill the Might Lord right in front of us," the blue-patterned demon opposite said, letting out a long breath, his face frosty. "Today, we shall certainly take both your lives."

As for the other bald demon, with a roll of the fleshy whiskers beneath his mouth, he silently formed a hand seal with one hand. Layers of rolling black energy emerged from his body, and after condensing, astonishingly transformed into dense, pitch-black small shields, about a foot in size, which blocked the two demons. Then, this demon quickly raised his other hand, and a streak of green light shot out, expanding against the wind. It transformed into an enormous green gate, which lay horizontally in the void. It was about ten zhang high and eight chi thick, its surface covered in rust. On both sides, it was inscribed with enormous, fanged, blue-faced ghostly heads, their faces ferocious and sinister. At first glance, it was truly chilling!

Seeing this, Han Li's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but carefully examine the gate.

As for the blue-patterned demon, he let out a low roar and, with both hands raised simultaneously, sent forth a half-chi-sized blue leather bag and thirteen streaks of black light. The leather bag expanded against the wind, astonishingly becoming about ten feet in size. Then, its opening loosened, and a loud hissing sound came from within as hundreds of blue lights shot out. With a spin, they transformed into over a hundred crystal-bodied blue flying snakes. Each was about three chi long, entirely crystal clear, and had a pair of transparent ice wings on its back. They constantly raised their heads and flicked their tongues in the air.

As for the thirteen streaks of black light, once they left his hand, they burst open with a series of "bang-bang" sounds. Amidst swirling dense black energy, they transformed into a dozen ten-foot-tall demon banners. As these banners unfurled against the wind, each was astonishingly inscribed with the image of a half-naked woman stepping on withered bones. Every one was as beautiful as a flower, lifelike, and appeared exceptionally enchanting and sinister!
