Volume Four: Winds Rise Overseas, Volume Five: Gaining Renown in All Directions
The snow sculpture's body shattered into countless pieces along with the ice shards.
The green-clad woman, who had just materialized from the gentle breeze and was pursuing him, froze at the sight. She then sneered a few times, her jade-like foot stepping on the white lotus beneath her. Immediately, strong winds erupted from the lotus, completely dispersing the surrounding thick fog.
Han Li narrowed his eyes, staring at her unfriendly yet delicate face, and calmly asked:
"Aren't you worried about your treasure being destroyed? Or do you believe my actions couldn't possibly destroy this treasure?" After speaking, Han Li casually glanced twice at the blue ice shards scattered in the air, which strangely did not fall.
"What do you think?" the green-clad woman replied indifferently, then pointed a finger towards Han Li's side.
Immediately, the shattered ice next to Han Li simultaneously flashed with light, and countless white specks of light emerged from these ice shards.
Han Li was startled, but he immediately raised a hand, and a streak of green light shot out, sweeping towards these specks of light.
A series of soft popping sounds erupted. As soon as the white specks of light detached from the blue ice, they transformed into milky-white spiritual light and surged collectively towards the woman.
The green light swept past, but yielded nothing.
Seeing that his attack was unsuccessful, Han Li's expression darkened, and he ceased his futile efforts. He simply watched the woman opposite him with cold eyes.
The spiritual light surged before the woman, immediately gathering and, in a flash, solidifying into a head-sized white orb of light.
The green-clad woman's expression was indifferent. She cast a spell onto the orb.
A blinding white light flashed. The cry of an eagle immediately emanated from the light orb. Then the orb transformed and elongated, and the snow-colored giant eagle was resurrected before Han Li's eyes.
Upon seeing this, Han Li frowned, but then noticed that the eagle's aura was not as vibrant as before. Instead, it seemed somewhat listless.
At this point, Han Li showed a thoughtful expression...
It seemed that his previous act of destroying this artifact spirit was not without effect. This eagle was not immortal; he believed that destroying it a few more times would be enough to make it vanish entirely.
The maiden saw the white eagle looking somewhat weak and, without a word, waved her hand.
Immediately, the snow eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky. After a roll in the air, it transformed into the white ribbon and drifted gently downwards.
It landed precisely on the woman, disappearing from sight.
"You suddenly stopped running and tried to shatter my magic treasure's spirit to provoke me. It seems you must have a backup plan here." The woman, holding a lamp in one hand and brushing a strand of hair from her shoulder with the other, asked coldly.
Han Li was a little surprised to hear this, but after a moment of silence, he spoke, his eyes gleaming:
"Since you know and still chose to pursue me, it seems you are very confident in the treasure you hold. May I ask about the origin of this lamp? An ancient treasure of the lamp variety, I have truly never heard of such a thing before."
After saying this, Han Li stared unblinkingly at the woman's delicate face.
"No. You'd best go on your way as a confused ghost!" The woman's delicate face darkened as she spoke without ceremony.
Then her cherry lips parted, and a ball of infant flame shot out from her mouth, spraying onto the bronze lamp she held in one hand.
A faint green light slowly lit up on the lamp.
Han Li sighed and calmly flipped both hands.
A green formation flag and a red and green formation plate, which he had already prepared, simultaneously appeared in his hands.
He gave the woman opposite him a meaningful look. Han Li first tossed the small flag high into the air, quickly conjured a spell, striking it, and a low chanting sound immediately followed.
After the formation flag flashed with light, it instantly burst open. A mass of green mist appeared out of thin air, spreading across dozens of feet in the sky.
A whirlwind swept through, and the mist suddenly transformed into a green mist dragon, over ten feet long, swooping fiercely towards the woman.
Meanwhile, the formation plate in Han Li's other hand also emitted red and green light. He threw it at his feet, and it immediately transformed into a cloud of white mist, disappearing into the ground beneath him.
Immediately, the surrounding mist sea churned and surged, from which countless red and green threads of light suddenly shot out, sweeping densely towards the green-clad woman.
Han Li, for his part, flicked his large sleeve. A small silver bell expanded wildly in the wind, transforming into a giant bell and emitting a loud humming sound. As it released silver sound waves and was urged by Han Li, it flew towards the green-clad woman's head.
Since he couldn't get close to the woman, he would use the silver bell's chimes for invisible attacks. This, perhaps, might still be effective.
Of course, Han Li's true trump card was not these attacks, considering the green-clad woman's unfathomable white lotus and the unknown bronze lamp ancient treasure in her hand.
Instead, it was Silvermoon, who had already quietly hidden underground using the Earth Evasion Technique.
At this moment, Silvermoon had quietly unfurled the Violet-Gold Scabbard, arranging it beneath the woman's feet, with her as the center.
Waiting only for the woman to show a slight lapse to deliver a fatal blow.
Although the green-clad woman did not know that someone was lying in ambush beneath her feet, she disregarded all the restrictions and attacks Han Li had already launched. She simply lowered her head, looking at the faintly green shimmering lamp-flame in her hand, a strange cold smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
She unhurriedly raised her delicate hand, and with two jade-like fingers, deftly pinched the green lamp-flame. A pea-sized lamp-flame appeared between her fingers, which she skillfully plucked.
At this moment, the mist dragon in the sky, the red and green light threads from all directions, and waves of silver light almost simultaneously attacked her vicinity.
Yet the woman showed no trace of concern. She simply lightly tapped the white lotus beneath her with her jade-like foot. Immediately, the white lotus flashed with white light and began to spin and dance rapidly. Its white lotus petals gradually contracted, instantly shielding the woman impermeably within them.
The green mist dragon formed by the restriction was the first to lunge at the light barrier. It unceremoniously opened its mouth, and a rolling column of green mist shot out, striking the white light barrier.
However, it was gently swept by a lotus petal within the light barrier and was instantly dissipated.
The red and green light threads attacked next, but were also repelled. Only the sound waves seemed unhindered by the white lotus petals, directly penetrating the barrier, though their effect could not be determined.
Seeing this situation, Han Li unhesitatingly formed a hand seal.
The red and green light threads immediately stopped attacking. Instead, they intertwined to form large nets, enveloping the white lotus and instantly wrapping it layer after layer. The mist dragon also rolled in mid-air, transforming into a vast expanse of green mist that submerged both the white lotus and the light threads.
As for the silver bell, it flew above the white lotus. Under Han Li's full activation, its silver waves suddenly increased in intensity by a third, passing through the restriction wave after wave, directly attacking the green-clad woman inside.
For a time, it seemed as if the green-clad woman in the white lotus was suppressed by the restriction.
But seeing this, Han Li showed no joy on his face; instead, his brows furrowed tightly.
As if to confirm Han Li's concerns were not groundless, the white lotus, which had been tightly closed and contracted to only about a zhang in size, bloomed open again without the slightest warning.
Each white lotus petal was like a sharp blade. With just a few gentle turns, they shredded the green mist and light threads outside into fragments.
Seeing this, Han Li's face clouded over.
The green-clad woman stood gracefully in the center of the white lotus, with no joy or sorrow on her face. One hand held the bronze lamp, while the other cradled the seemingly ordinary green lamp-flame. She coldly glanced at Han Li, then her gaze suddenly fell on the continuously humming silver giant bell directly above her head. Its released silver waves were exactly covering her.
A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes. She suddenly raised a hand, bringing the green lamp-flame to her small mouth, and gently blew on it.
With a soft popping sound, the lamp-flame trembled slightly, then instantly vanished from the woman's palm.
The next moment, the silver giant bell in the air was mysteriously enveloped by a green light orb that appeared out of nowhere.
The woman saw this and chanted an incantation. The surface of the silver bell then ignited with an unknown green demonic flame.
The silver bell let out a mournful cry and burst forth with dazzling silver light, trying to resist for a moment. But in an instant, the silver bell melted and deformed in the green flame, turning into silver liquid.
The green light shield then shattered on its own, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this scene of his ancient treasure being destroyed, Han Li's face turned somewhat pale.
At this moment, the green-clad woman extended her delicate hand and skillfully plucked another green lamp-flame from the bronze lamp. Then she gave Han Li a malevolent look.
Han Li inwardly cried "not good." Without thinking, he unfurled the Wind-Thunder Wings on his back. A thunderous sound erupted, and in a flash, he vanished from his original spot.
The woman was utterly unfazed by this. She still brought the green lamp-flame to her mouth, and just as her cherry lips parted, about to exhale spiritual energy...
Just then, purple light flashed beneath the woman's feet, and a large purple net, over ten feet in size, suddenly emerged from the ground, rising upwards.
Just as the woman was momentarily stunned, amidst a light chuckle, the purple net swiftly enveloped her with lightning speed.
"Since you enjoy playing with fire so much, why not taste the true Jade Yang fire of my Violet-Gold Scabbard?" a beautiful young woman said with a chuckle. She emerged from the nearby ground after a flash of yellow light, following the purple net closely. Without hesitation, she raised her slender hand and cast a spell onto the purple net.
A flash of light and flame appeared on the purple net. A layer of strange green and white flames spread across the entire net, and several green and white fire snakes also suddenly appeared within it, fiercely lunging at the woman in the white lotus.
The green and white flames immediately submerged the white lotus within the net.
At this time, Han Li also appeared over ten zhang away from the green-clad woman. Seeing this situation, his face showed great joy.
He immediately flicked both sleeves, and seventy-two Green Bamboo Cloud-Swarm Swords simultaneously soared into the sky from his body, followed by several spell seals.
After the flying swords emitted a dragon's roar in the high sky, they converged in the center and transformed into a giant sword, six or seven zhang long, amidst green light.
With a thought from Han Li, a loud thunderous sound erupted, and thick golden electric arcs shot out from the sword's surface. The golden arcs intertwined, forming a thunder-roaring sword.
But Han Li was not finished. He suddenly took a deep breath and exhaled, a wisp of Azure Ice Flame shooting out from his mouth and striking the giant sword.
Immediately, besides the seemingly astonishing electric arcs on the giant sword's surface, a layer of faint, ethereal light-blue flame also appeared.
A cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he pointed a finger at the sword.
The giant sword trembled and transformed into a green rainbow, streaking directly towards the white lotus within the purple net.
Just then, the green-clad woman, enveloped by the Violet-Gold Scabbard, finally regained her senses.
Extremely enraged, she suddenly tossed the green lamp-flame in her hand overhead.
