Chapter 387: Fight to Form the Core

The Wind Skiff, propelled by Han Li's late Foundation Establishment cultivation, moved with astonishing speed. Like an arrow, it cut through the air with a distinct whistling sound, arriving swiftly at the nameless island.

As Han Li spotted the familiar reef not far off, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. He raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to look back when…

A chilling sensation suddenly erupted from behind him!

Startled, Han Li instinctively stomped one foot on the Divine Wind Skiff. Instantly, he and the artifact sharply veered to one side, and the Divine Wind Skiff moved about ten *zhang* from its original position.

Almost simultaneously, a deep yellow arc of light flashed through the spot where Han Li had just been. After flying another twenty to thirty *zhang*, the yellow light receded, revealing a person.

Han Li wiped away a clammy cold sweat, looked at the person, and gave a bitter smile.

The person before him, with disheveled hair falling over his shoulders, was none other than Elder Gu of the Six Union Palace!

At this moment, he stood on a circular, earthy-yellow magic treasure, staring at Han Li without a word. His gaze was utterly cold, as if Han Li were already a dead man in his eyes.

And below, about ten *zhang* behind this harbinger of death, was precisely where Han Li had set up his grand formation, which sent a chill through Han Li's heart.

However, Han Li knew clearly that any questioning or pleading now would be futile. He had no choice but to fight this Core Formation stage "senior" and see if he could use the power of the formation to trap him.

With this thought, Han Li steeled his resolve.

At his command, Qu Hun's figure flickered, positioning himself in front of Han Li. At the same time, wisps of bloody light emanated from his body, enveloping his entire being in a sanguine glow that carried a faint scent of blood.

Meanwhile, Han Li's hands flashed with light, and two magic artifacts appeared in them.

At this moment, Elder Gu, seeing Han Li and Qu Hun preparing to resist, had a cold glint flash in his eyes. The circular magic treasure beneath his feet immediately let out a long hum, and its yellow light intensified, enveloping him like a suit of armor.

Then Elder Gu suddenly spread his hands, which instantly transformed into palm-sized crescent light blades. These surged silently towards Han Li and Qu Hun.

Han Li was greatly alarmed, but also breathed a sigh of relief. This person's magic treasures were not speed-oriented like Lei Wanhe's, which gave Han Li a chance to survive.

Han Li forced himself to concentrate and raised both hands. From one hand, a tortoise shell magic artifact flew out and instantly enlarged. In the other hand, a shimmering small mirror suddenly appeared, from which a large swath of green light erupted, shooting directly towards the approaching swarm of light blades.

Continuous "thudding" sounds rang out. A small portion of the light blades in front, struck by the green light, immediately became sluggish and their speed greatly decreased. But as more crescent blades from behind surged into the green light, the green light was instantly shattered into fragments, transforming into points of starlight.

At the same time, the mirror in Han Li's hand also split into two halves with a "crack", utterly destroyed.

Tossing away the broken mirror, Han Li felt no regret whatsoever about the destruction of the "Azure Condensing Mirror". Instead, without even looking, he slapped his storage pouch with one hand. Two dark lights and five white lights flew out from it, one after another. After briefly circling overhead, they neatly flew forward to meet the attack.

But Han Li wasn't finished. Seven or eight more white lights flashed at his sides, and seven or eight puppet beast soldiers appeared simultaneously on both sides, all drawing their bows and nocking arrows, ready to fire at any moment.

By this time, the swarm of light blades had already struck the giant tortoise shell. Almost immediately upon impact, countless deep gashes appeared on the artifact's surface. It only held out for a brief moment, then let out a mournful hum and was sliced into countless pieces by the light blades.

Having gained this brief moment, Han Li's seven or eight top-tier magic artifacts, though launched later, arrived first in front of Qu Hun, continuously spinning and dancing to form an interwoven black and white blade curtain.

Naturally, these top-tier magic artifacts similarly couldn't withstand the light blade attacks, despite their diminished force. The Black Dragon Snatcher and the five white flying blades flickered a few times before dissolving into points of light.

Now unimpeded, the crescent light blades ruthlessly slashed directly towards Qu Hun, who had stood unmoving in front of Han Li since the start of the battle.

"Hmph!"

From Qu Hun's mouth, an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted. Following this, the bloody red light on his body actually detached and in the blink of an eye transformed into a gigantic crimson light dragon, which lunged forward, claws and fangs bared.

Instantly, the crimson light and the now somewhat weakened light blades clashed and interwove. The light attacks from the puppet soldiers on Han Li's sides joined the red dragon's assault, surprisingly creating a stalemate for a moment.

This sight greatly pleased Han Li, while Elder Gu, standing opposite, paused slightly, a look of surprise on his face.

But then, this Core Formation cultivator, who had been pursuing them, let out a disdainful snort. After a tremor, his body flared with yellow light, and he raised both hands again.

Seeing this situation, Han Li's heart went cold! To block this wave of attack, he had already used all his magic treasures. If the opponent were to launch another such sharp attack, he would surely die without a burial place.

Just as Han Li was trembling with fear, as if heaven had intervened! The sneering Core Formation cultivator's face suddenly changed; an unnatural flush rose to his cheeks, which then turned unusually pale.

Next, the yellow light on his body immediately dimmed, and his body painfully hunched over in a tremor.

Elder Gu was instantly shocked and enraged! He knew clearly that this was due to his previous severe injury, lack of timely rest and recovery, and his reckless use of true essence. However, if he was given a moment, he could suppress his injuries again, and it would still be as easy as flipping his hand to kill Han Li.

But at this moment, Han Li was overjoyed! Seizing this opportune moment, he instinctively pulled Qu Hun, no longer caring about the seven or eight puppets or the stalemated red dragon, and flew like lightning towards the nameless island below. He flew diagonally downwards, directly past his hunched opponent.

Elder Gu was now filled with shame and rage! If Han Li were to successfully escape from him, it would be a huge joke.

In his frustration, he no longer cared if his injuries would worsen later. Gritting his teeth, he abruptly mobilized all his spiritual power, forcefully suppressing his discomfort. Then, without the slightest hesitation, his body turned, and a dazzling yellow arc shot out in pursuit of Han Li.

For Han Li, who was controlling his artifact with all his might, a distance of several *zhang* was covered in an instant. But almost as soon as he stepped into the formation's range, the yellow arc caught up to him right behind, both disappearing into the formation almost simultaneously.

Elder Gu was secretly pleased, thinking he could eliminate them both with one blow, when suddenly his vision blurred, and the scenery drastically changed. This was no longer an island, but endless azure waves stretching in all directions. A huge pressure simultaneously bore down on him.

"A formation?" Elder Gu's expression became serious. However, though he was somewhat surprised why a formation would appear here, he wasn't overly alarmed. After all, from the nearby formation fluctuations, it didn't seem to be an extraordinary grand formation. He was confident he could break it with ease.

Thinking of this, Elder Gu's face grew cold, and the yellow light on his body became dazzling.

The "Azure Water Green Armor Formation" that Han Li himself had set up naturally had a completely different effect on him than on the Core Formation stage "senior" behind him. After flashing his artifact a few times, he easily exited the grand formation.

At this moment, he, who had originally intended to escape far away, turned his head, and his expression darkened. He saw Elder Gu, transformed into a shocking yellow arc of lightning within the formation, frantically attacking the formation's restrictions with the force of thunder and lightning, looking as if he could break free at any moment. This made Han Li's expression fluctuate.

From the looks of it, if he were to just fly away with his artifact now, he would definitely be caught again by this malevolent star once he broke free. After all, the flying speeds of magic treasures and magic artifacts were vastly different.

As Han Li hesitated slightly, several more layers of the formation's restrictions were broken by the opponent.

A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. Driven to desperation, Han Li no longer hesitated and gestured to Qu Hun. The two, using the cover of the restrictions, silently infiltrated, slowly approaching Elder Gu.

However, before Han Li and Qu Hun could truly get close to him, Elder Gu, who had been wantonly destroying the formation's restrictions, seemed to sense something. He suddenly stopped his actions and looked around with extreme vigilance, an austere expression on his face.

Han Li frowned. But with a flip of his hand and a flash of light, a set of small green flags appeared in his grasp. These were the main formation flags controlling this array. A few low incantations faintly emanated from Han Li's mouth. Then he tossed the flags in his hand, which transformed into a streak of green light and merged into the grand formation.

Next, the scene before Elder Gu's eyes changed. The surrounding seawater surged with turbulent waves, and the pressure, already weighing over a thousand catties, suddenly increased by several points, causing his movements to become sluggish for a moment.
