Chapter 1975: Interception

**Volume 10: Battle in the Demon Realm**

The blood-red shadow was clearly a young man with a handsome, pale face!

“Don’t get too excited too soon! Don’t forget the conditions Yuan Sha initially proposed to us.” Another blood-red shadow, whose face was identical, said calmly.

“Hmph, since Yuan Sha’s target is the same as ours, the initial conditions must naturally change. We can give her the person, but we never agreed to hand over the treasures on him to Yuan Sha,” the young man in the middle sneered, replying without hesitation.

“If we do that, Yuan Sha might not give up. We can give her some of the treasures, but we must retrieve the Demon Suppressing Lock and the Purple Flame Cauldron first,” the second blood-red shadow said, shaking his head.

“Give her half! This human boy clearly possesses great treasures, and you’re willing to part with them?” the middle young man said with a curl of his lip.

“We can’t help it even if we’re unwilling. Don’t forget that Yuan Sha has the Six Extremes backing her. Now is not a good time to provoke them!” the blood-red shadow said with a cold laugh.

“Indeed, the Six Extremes are a big problem!” The young man’s expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of apprehension.

“Alright! Stop just thinking about good things! We don’t even know if we can successfully capture this person this time. He seems to have discovered our presence. Trying to ambush him is probably impossible,” the last blood-red shadow said, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.

“Discovered us? That’s impossible. We’ve completely concealed everything with the Qiankun Plate. Unless he has Mahayana cultivation, he couldn’t truly sense anything. At most, he might have a slight suspicion! Yuan Sha is still hot on his heels, so he absolutely wouldn’t truly linger in the original spot,” the middle young man said, his face sinking, disbelievingly looking at the image in the crystal wall.

“Is that so? I think…” “Oh no, what is he doing?” The last blood-red shadow, C, shook his head, wanting to say more, but then he suddenly gasped in alarm.

When the other two clearly saw Han Li’s actions in the crystal wall image, their expressions also changed drastically!

Han Li, in his Kunpeng form, suddenly opened his mouth, spitting out a golden thunderball that instantly grew to about ten feet in size.

The giant Kunpeng seemed to grin towards their direction, and the thunderball immediately transformed into dazzling golden arcs that shot towards them.

A thunderous crack!

The crystal wall was filled with swirling golden arcs. With a crisp sound, it shattered inch by inch, turning into a cloud of crystal dust that vanished into thin air.

“He really did discover the Qiankun Plate. Since we can’t lure him over, let’s forcibly intercept him!” the middle young man shouted.

The other two had no differing opinions and began to chant spells with their hands.

Obscure incantations immediately echoed through the space!

At the same time, the thunderball transformed into a huge net that spread forward. Amidst the flashing lightning, a misty white object appeared in the sky!

This object was over a hundred feet large, crystal clear and sparkling, circular in shape, resembling a giant jade plate suspended in the void.

Under the milky white light cast by the circular plate, a magical array about a *li* in size silently emerged.

Had Han Li not stopped his escape light earlier, he would have most likely plunged headfirst into this restriction.

Even Han Li, who was usually calm, was startled by this sight!

At that moment, the giant jade plate spun, and a thick layer of white light curtain surged out from it. After a few flashes, it transformed into a seemingly boundless light wall, completely blocking the path ahead.

However, Han Li, in his Kunpeng form, suddenly rolled on the ground.

A dazzling glow flashed, and the silver giant Kunpeng disappeared, replaced by an unfamiliar giant bird with a phoenix crown on its head and long feathers covering its body.

It looked somewhat similar to the legendary True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix!

This was precisely the Heavenly Phoenix avatar that Han Li had transformed into by activating the Awaken Sting Art.

As soon as the bird appeared, it let out a clear cry and flapped its wings.

Immediately, the void in front of it rippled, and a misty white裂缝 appeared.

The giant bird moved its body, instantly flashing and disappearing into the rift.

The next moment, behind the white light curtain, a similar rift flashed open, and the giant bird shot out like a ghost, rolling again.

Silver lightning arcs intertwined and flashed!

Han Li had once again transformed into the silver giant Kunpeng.

The giant Kunpeng merely flapped its four wings slightly, and then suddenly, with a bursting sound, it vanished from its original spot without a trace.

Hundreds of feet away, six thunderous cracks erupted, and the blue-silver lightning arcs paused for a moment. The giant Kunpeng reappeared, and with a movement of its body, it transformed into a strand of blue-white light and continued to shoot away.

From the moment the giant jade plate released the light curtain to Han Li transforming into a Heavenly Phoenix and escaping by directly tearing through space, it all seemed dazzling, but it was actually completed in an instant.

The three avatars of the Bloodlight Saint Ancestor within the jade plate were dumbfounded by this sight.

“Impossible! Under the restriction of the Qiankun Plate, how could he teleport away so easily? Something must be wrong! Does he have a treasure that can counteract the Qiankun Plate?” one of the blood-red shadows said, exasperated, after regaining his composure.

“No, it’s because of his transformation just now. Don’t you remember, even though the Qiankun Plate is incredibly profound in restricting flight, it cannot restrict phoenix-type spirit birds that possess innate spatial tearing abilities. What that boy used just now was clearly some kind of Heavenly Phoenix transformation art,” the middle young man analyzed calmly.

“Even so, this boy’s transformation arts are a bit too many. Even if we join forces with Yuan Sha, capturing him might not be an easy task,” the last blood-red avatar said, his face exceptionally grim.

Just then, a white light flashed in the sky behind them, and a seemingly majestic stone hall appeared amidst the flickering spiritual light, aggressively pursuing them.

“Go, let’s chase him first!” the middle young man’s pupils slightly constricted as he said without hesitation.

“Indeed, we cannot let this boy escape, otherwise, we might not be able to block him next time. Let’s go!” The other two avatars also nodded in agreement.

Then, blood-red light flashed on their bodies, instantly merging into one, and they furiously poured their magic power into the giant jade plate.

With a hum, the jade plate’s surface runes flickered, turning into a ball of white light that quickly gave chase.

A dozen *li* away, Yuan Sha sat on her stone chair, watching everything from a distance, her beautiful face extremely grim!

“What trash! The three avatars joined forces, yet they still couldn’t stop the boy surnamed Han even with an ambush! It seems I’ll have to personally intervene,” the woman muttered in annoyance. With a command, she immediately urged the stone hall to chase after him.

Han Li, who was flying rapidly ahead, was secretly cursing his bad luck.

Although the enemies in that strange jade plate had not yet revealed themselves, the faint blood-red light emanating from the treasure they had just activated allowed him to easily recognize the opponents he had recently fought.

With two major demon realm adversaries, old and new, simultaneously appearing, Han Li naturally gave up all thoughts of engaging them in combat. He focused solely on activating his Kunpeng transformation and speeding away into the distance.

Two days later, the silver giant Kunpeng was surrounded by dozens of mid-level demon tribesmen.

These demons, clad in various armored suits, breathed out demonic energy and wielded their weapons, relentlessly attacking the giant Kunpeng as if they had no regard for their lives.

But the next moment, after a sharp cry from the giant Kunpeng, a layer of golden electrical arcs shot out from its body.

Wherever the thunderous sound passed, all the demons were annihilated in a single strike, turning into ashes and vanishing into the void.

The giant Kunpeng dared not delay, flapping its four wings again and speeding away.

A short while later, the jade plate and the stone hall roared as they passed over the area, also not pausing for a moment and continuing their urgent pursuit.

Five days later, over a hundred demons, driving thousands of low-level demonic beasts, blocked the path of the silver giant Kunpeng.

This time, the giant Kunpeng plunged into the beast horde without a word. A green light flashed on its body, and dense, green sword qi erupted!

Both the low-level demonic beasts and the demons were instantly shredded by the sword qi.

The giant Kunpeng flashed, piercing directly through the clouds of blood mist and continued on its way.

At this point, the jade plate and the stone hall were already over a thousand *li* away.

Ten days later, above a misty mountain range, a hundred-foot-tall golden-furred giant ape, bare-handed, charged into an intercepting army composed of hundreds of elite demons and over a dozen super demonic beasts.

With the giant ape’s two massive hands wildly grasping, whether demons or super demonic beasts, they were almost instantly annihilated by golden light, with no one able to withstand even a single round.

Strangely, these demons seemed to be under strict orders; even after only a small fraction of their numbers remained a short while later, they stubbornly clung to the giant ape, showing no regard for their lives.

In another direction, a buzzing sound resonated in the air, and two clusters of white light appeared almost simultaneously, shooting towards the battle.

The golden-furred giant ape roared, opening its mouth to spray out waves of faint golden sound, causing the nearby void to twist and blur.

In an instant, all the participating demons and demonic beasts were swept by the golden sound waves and self-detonated.

The golden-furred giant ape then stomped its foot violently, transforming into a ball of golden light that ascended into the sky. But mid-air, with a clap of thunder, it turned into a four-winged silver Kunpeng and flapped its wings, flying away.

Half a month later, Han Li, having returned to his human form, floated at the bottom of an unknown lake, glaring fiercely at two strangely shaped demon venerables before him.

One had a black head and black brain, webbed hands, and several thick tentacles growing under one armpit, waving erratically. The other had eyes like lamps, held a steel fork, and was covered in a layer of shimmering green scales.

After taking a deep breath, Han Li grasped at the empty air with both hands. With two rumbling sounds, a green and a black mountain peak appeared out of thin air. With a wave, they directly charged towards the two demons.

Over ten thousand *li* away, at low altitude above the lake, the jade plate and the stone hall, one after the other, silently sped towards Han Li’s location.

Two months later, above a bizarre swamp emitting rising steam, the silver giant Kunpeng was bitterly entangled by a dozen misty, blood-red demons.

No matter how the giant Kunpeng ceaselessly unleashed silver electrical arcs or directly tore them apart with its claws, these blood-red shadows would instantly recover as if immortal, then let out sinister laughs and entangle him again!

A thousand *li* away in the high sky, the jade plate and the stone hall flashed and reappeared!
