Han Li observed the strange situation before him, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his pupils as he clearly saw two figures in the distance, primarily surrounded by a dozen or so silver demonic beasts.

They were a large demonic man, built like an iron tower, and an elderly demonic man with blue demonic patterns tattooed on his cheek.

Both were cultivators at the late Void Refinement stage!

The large demonic man was currently enveloped in surging demonic energy, wielding a colossal black staff with both hands, from which sounds of wind and thunder faintly emanated.

As the staff blurred into motion, roaring black energy violently surged forth, blocking out most of the silver beasts.

The other demonic elder, who possessed a pair of triangular green eyes, held a dark black alms bowl. From it, monstrous bird phantoms, each about a foot in size, continuously darted out.

Upon contact with the silver beasts that lunged forward, these phantoms immediately exploded into bursts of gray light, forcing the beasts to retreat…

However, whether it was the black energy generated by the staff or the exploding bird phantoms, they clearly could only barely hold back the silver demonic beasts and could not inflict much damage upon them.

These demonic beasts were incredibly tough, seemingly no less resilient than ordinary magical treasures. After being repelled, they would immediately lunge forward again without a care.

If this continued, when the demonic energy within these two demonic cultivators was exhausted, it would naturally be their end.

The corpse of the demonic beast with five-colored strange horns on its head, lying nearby, judging by the lingering powerful aura, should be the Beast King he was searching for.

It had actually been killed! Could it have been done by those two demonic cultivators? Even if their magical power was strong, how did they manage it?

Even with his keen mind, Han Li was still somewhat perplexed by what he saw.

However, the Beast King was no longer there, and these demonic beasts had not completely dispersed, which was unexpected.

As Han Li's thoughts turned, he pondered how to proceed next.

The green demonic beasts in front seemed to know that Han Li was not to be trifled with; they merely blocked his path and did not rush forward without fear like some ordinary demonic beasts.

A stalemate was temporarily maintained between them and Han Li.

Just as Han Li was still hesitating, the large demonic man, who was being besieged in the distance, suddenly shouted to his companion:

"Old Wu, we can't wait any longer. The effects of the Beast-Driving Incense are fading. We must leave this place immediately. I'll risk losing vital energy to hold back these beasts; you quickly cast the spell to send us away."

No sooner had he spoken than the large demonic man let out an enraged roar. His aura instantly became incredibly violent, and the rolling staff shadows in his hands intensified by more than twofold compared to before, even blocking the silver beasts that were rushing towards the demonic elder.

"Good, Fellow Daoist Tie, please be very careful."

Hearing this, the demonic elder agreed without hesitation. With a flick of his hand, the alms bowl vanished without a trace. In its place, a crystalline dark black stone appeared. He then abruptly tossed it forward, chanting incantations.

A strange scene unfolded.

As the stone spun, it suddenly spewed countless black light threads, which interwoven and flashed, forming a black magic array about ten feet wide, a dozen yards away.

With a loud rumble!

The black magic array slowly rotated in the air, seemingly activating itself.

"It's ready, quickly, let's go!"

The demonic elder urgently called out to the large man. His figure flickered, and he unhesitatingly dashed towards the magic array.

Seeing this, the large demonic man on the other side furiously swung his giant staff several times, forcefully pushing back the nearby silver beasts. He then transformed into a streak of black energy and shot towards the magic array.

Clearly, the two intended to use the power of this magic array to escape from the encirclement of beasts.

But just as the two demonic cultivators were about to succeed as planned, an unexpected event occurred!

A ripple appeared in the sky above the magic array, and another silver beast bizarrely materialized. It lowered its head, opened its mouth, and a misty silver light beam flashed, striking the center of the magic array.

A heaven-shattering, earth-shattering roar!

The black magic array's light fluctuated wildly, then suddenly exploded, and a violent surge of energy swept in all directions.

This scene instantly caused the two demonic cultivators, who had already lunged nearby, to freeze in their tracks, their hearts chilling as if plunging into an ice cave.

However, the silver beasts showed no hesitation. On the contrary, they swarmed forward without the slightest delay, surrounding the two once again.

Almost at the same time, the faint green smoke that had formed a giant circle around them dissipated with a soft sound, flickering and vanishing.

The other demonic beasts that had been standing outside immediately let out countless roars and surged towards the two demonic cultivators like a tide.

In an instant, the startled and enraged cries of the two demonic cultivators echoed from within the beast horde, followed by loud explosions and roars.

Clearly, facing utter despair, the two demonic cultivators had resolved to fight to the death, no longer holding back their magical power and vital energy…

Han Li, observing all of this from afar, his eyes flickering slightly, suddenly formed a hand seal. Golden light illuminated his body, and layers of black scales appeared on his skin. At the same time, a powerful demonic energy erupted from his body, transforming into an incredibly terrifying pressure that bore down directly on the formidable beast aura opposite him.

Under this immense pressure, the green beasts blocking his path let out low hisses, instinctively retreating one after another, but their gaze towards Han Li grew increasingly fierce.

"May I ask which senior is present? We are the protectors of Blood Raven City. We hope senior will lend us a hand. We will surely repay your great kindness afterward."

"This junior is the only son of the Elder of the幽鸦族 (Ghost Crow Clan). If senior is willing to save us, our clan will also not forget senior's kindness."

As soon as Han Li activated his Demonic Pearl, creating such a spectacle, the two demonic cultivators immediately noticed his presence and frantically cried out as if grasping at their last straw of hope.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled faintly. After scanning the green beasts blocking his path, he suddenly took a step forward.

With a blur, a figure flashed and appeared above the green beasts.

Seeing this, the green beasts no longer had any intention of retreating. Instead, with a long roar, the stiff hairs on the backs of all the demonic beasts stood up, transforming into dense green rays that shot wildly towards the figure in the air.

"This is interesting!"

Han Li chuckled. He clenched both fists, and a layer of black light immediately appeared on his back, subsequently transforming into countless black fist shadows that violently struck downwards.

Even though the green rays were astonishing in number, how could they be a match for the attacks formed by the divine ability of the Brahma Saint True Devil Arts?

Under the terrifying power of those fist shadows, they all exploded directly in mid-air.

Following that, hundreds of green beasts were instantly smashed into meat paste by the black fist shadows, while Han Li himself, with a flicker of his shoulder, vanished again in the air.

After employing his elusive evasion technique, Han Li, with just a few flashes, appeared directly above the large demonic man and the elder. He coolly crossed his arms and swept his gaze downwards.

At this moment, the two demonic cultivators were back-to-back, desperately unleashing their demonic arts and several treasures to resist the continuous onslaught of numerous demonic beasts.

The ordinary demonic beasts were fine, posing no significant threat, but the green beasts and the original dozen silver beasts left the two with no spare energy to defend themselves. It seemed they could be completely overwhelmed by the beast horde at any moment.

"I can save you, but you must do something for me afterward," Han Li said calmly, without haste.

"Yes, as long as you are willing to save us. Our lives will be yours, senior," the large demonic man immediately shouted in such a dire situation, without any hesitation.

And in that brief moment, a silver beast had already broken through his demonic art defense, leaving several deep claw marks on his shoulder, almost exposing bone.

The demonic elder naturally agreed repeatedly as well.

After hearing their words, Han Li chuckled. With a thunderous sound from behind him, crystalline blue-white feathered wings appeared. With a slight flap, countless blue-white lightning balls densely materialized.

However, Han Li himself formed a hand seal, and both he and the lightning balls simultaneously vanished again in the void.

The two demonic cultivators below only heard earth-shattering roars all around, and countless silver arcs interweaved and flashed from the void, instantly congealing into a colossal heavenly lightning net, about a mile wide, which then slammed downwards.

In an instant, streaks of lightning arcs bounced and leaped among the demonic beasts, then exploded inch by inch, forming clusters of lightning flowers that immediately bloomed and raged…

The void below instantly became like a sea of lightning.

But incredibly, the large demonic man and the elder remained unharmed amidst such astonishing lightning. Not only did no lightning arcs injure them, but a dense lightning curtain formed close to them, protecting them tightly.

As for the other demonic beasts, under such a tremendous lightning onslaught, most of them instantly turned to ashes. When the lightning eventually receded and disappeared, some high-level demonic beasts still survived, but they were charred all over, with only one or two out of ten remaining.

These surviving demonic beasts, after such a lightning strike, could no longer muster the courage to cause trouble. They whimpered and turned to flee outwards.

"Senior, quickly eliminate those silver-necked beasts! As long as these high-level demonic beasts are completely wiped out, the current beast tide will immediately collapse, and no Beast King will be born in the beast horde for over a hundred years," the large demonic man exclaimed, naturally filled with both surprise and joy at this sight. But he immediately remembered something and urgently shouted respectfully to Han Li.

"Silver-necked beasts?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's eyes narrowed, and his divine sense swept towards the dozen or so silver beasts, already battered and scarred, that had fled over a hundred yards away.

The demonic beasts mentioned by the large demonic man were naturally these conspicuous high-level demonic beasts.

Each of these silver beasts had a strength equivalent to the early Void Refinement stage, and they had all survived the previous lightning strike. To eliminate them all would indeed require another action.

With just a slight shift in his thoughts, Han Li formed a hand seal and attacked again.

With a soft "pffft" sound, golden light flashed behind him, and a golden Dharma Idol with three heads and six arms emerged.

As soon as this Dharma Idol appeared, it shook its shoulders, rapidly growing several times in size against the wind, becoming over ten feet tall. Then, its six golden eyes simultaneously opened.
