Chapter 287: Two VS Three
The Heavy Water True Axis reached the giant ax in the blink of an eye, and a Water Dao Rune on the axis released a burst of water law powers amid a flash of blue light as it crashed into the ax with unfathomable power.
The spirit patterns engraved onto the ax instantly lit up, only to quickly break apart, immediately following which the entire ax itself also shattered into countless pieces.
A stunned look flashed through the burly man's eyes upon seeing this, and a burst of light instantly appeared on his chest, forming a yellow array projection that managed to keep the Heavy Water True Axis at bay.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this.
Through his spiritual connection with his Heavy Water True Axis, he could sense that it was as if the axis had fallen into a swamp, and all of its power was stripped away.
He immediately increased his immortal spiritual power output, and a resounding boom instantly rang out as the burly man felt a burst of mountainous pressure crashing into chest.
Even though the immortal talisman on his chest had nullified most of the power of the Heavy Water True Axis, it was still too much for him to bear, and he was sent flying back through the air with blood gushing out of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Qilin 9 was locked in a fierce battle against the other two True Immortal cultivators.
The voluptuous woman was wielding a purple whip with purple bars all over its surface. The whip was giving off a metallic gleam, and as she flicked her wrist through the air, the whip transformed into countless whip projections that lashed out at Qilin 9 from all directions.
Qilin 9 was wielding an antiquated golden sword that he was swinging through the air with tremendous power, unleashing countless streaks of golden swordlight that sliced the oncoming whip projections into shreds.
There were nine stars that were glowing brightly on the blade of the sword, forming a secure barrier of dazzling light around him.
Right at this moment, a burst of black light suddenly flashed past behind him, and a thin figure sprang out of thin air in a completely silent manner. The thin figure was wearing a set of sharp silver claws on each hand, and he plunged those claws straight into the light barrier around Qilin 9's body.
The runes on the silver claws lit up as the thin old man brought his hands apart in a forceful motion, tearing a gash into the light barrier.
A vicious look flashed through his eyes as he suddenly opened his mouth, and a burst of black light appeared inside his oral cavity before a dark green needle treasure shot out from within, piercing directly toward Qilin 9's heart from behind.
Qilin 9 had been trying to keep tabs on the thin old man this entire time while facing the voluptuous woman, but he was still unable to detect his assailant until it was too late.
"It's time for you to die!" the old man cackled with a cold gleam in his eyes.
However, right as his voice trailed off, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared behind Qilin 9, and a square-shaped antiquated golden mirror appeared.
A faint clang rang out as the flying needle struck the surface of the mirror and was instantly repelled.
Immediately thereafter, a thunderous roar rang out from within the mirror, and a sense of foreboding welled up in the thin old man's heart upon seeing this.
He immediately opened his mouth to recover his flying needle, then shot back in retreat.
All of a sudden, a burst of light flashed over the golden mirror, and a giant golden tiger with fiery red stripes all over its body pounced out of the mirror with its cavernous mouth wide open, biting down upon the thin old man.
In response, the old man flicked a wrist through the air, and the thin green string flew off from around his wrist before transforming into a massive azure python that pounced at the giant tiger before winding itself around the tiger's body.
Meanwhile, the old man retreated back to the voluptuous woman's side several thousand feet away as he complained, "This guy's a real pain to deal with. I should've chosen the guy with the cow mask."
As soon as his voice trailed off, he heard an agonized howl, and he hurriedly turned around to find the burly man having his chest stomped on by Han Li, sending him plummeting down toward the sea below like a rucksack.
Immediately thereafter, Han Li also swooped down toward the surface of the sea as a streak of azure light.
"Looks like neither of them are easy opponents. If we don't go all-out, not only will we not be able to plunder anything from the Holy Puppet Sect, we could easily lose our lives here," the thin old man said in a grim voice.
"We do indeed have to get serious. Please hold him off for me while I... get changed into something more comfortable," the voluptuous woman said with a seductive smile.
The thin old man couldn't help but shudder at the sight of her smile, and he swept a sleeve through the to summon a large yellow flag, which he grabbed onto with both hands before charging toward Qilin 9.
At the same time, a vicious look appeared in the voluptuous woman's eyes as she slid down the collar of her robes to reveal a shoulder, followed by a section of her arm, where a slender woman in a red dress was tattooed. The woman was holding a lute with a peculiar smile on her half-concealed face.
This tattoo wasn't just a cosmetic accessory. Instead, it was a powerful treasure that was crafted from human skin. She had been nurturing it with her own flesh and blood this entire time, and she was only willing to use it now as she had identified just how perilous this situation was.
She began to chant a peculiar incantation, and the tattoo of the woman on her arm suddenly became rather blurry, as if all of its colors were spreading and fading.
At the same time, the skin on her arm began to take on a red coloration, and what appeared to have been a rash quickly appeared before spreading over her entire body.
The woman let loose a pained groan as the black cloak that she was wearing gradually faded, and she transformed into the woman in red that was tattooed on her arm. In the wake of her transformation, her cultivation base had been elevated from the mid-True Immortal Stage to the late-True Immortal Stage.
With a flick of her wrist, a crimson oil paper umbrella flew out of the palm of her hand amid a flash of red light, then opened itself up in mid-air before flying toward Qilin 9.
The woman also drifted through the air behind the umbrella as she said in a cold voice, "We have to put an end to him as quickly as possible."
Right at this moment, a resounding boom rang out from the sea down below, and a massive wave erupted upward, following which a figure flew out of the water, rising several thousand feet up into the air before drawing to a halt.
It was none other than Han Li, and his Heavy Water True Axis was revolving in mid-air behind him.
Immediately thereafter, a golden figure also erupted out of the water, and it was none other than the burly man that Han Li had just sent plummeting into the sea. At this moment, it was as if a layer of golden paint had been applied to his entire body.
At this moment, golden blood was pouring out of all of his orifices, and he was sorely regretting his decision to challenge Han Li on his own.
He had been forced to devour the Golden Rot Pill that he had cherished for many years, and only then was he able to withstand Han Li's barrage of ferocious attacks.
He had no idea what that black wheel treasure of Han Li's was. It was clearly a water-attribute treasure, but it was incredibly heavy, as if it contained an entire ocean.
With a flick of his wrist, a white bone shard appeared on the palm of his hand. There were some peculiar crimson patterns engraved onto the surface of the bone shard, and they were giving off faint energy fluctuations.
A hesitant look appeared on the burly man's face as he looked down at the bone shard in his hand.
Meanwhile, Han Li was hovering in mid-air with his Heavy Water True Axis continuing to revolve incessantly behind him.
He took a glance at Qilin 9 to find that he was gradually being forced onto the back foot by the woman in red and the thin old man, and a slightly grim look appeared in his eye as he turned his gaze back to the burly man.
The burly man's heart immediately jolted slightly upon seeing this, and the hesitation in his eyes faded entirely as he brought his palms together, holding the bone shard in between them as he began to chant an incantation.
Wisps of smoke began to billow out from between the palms of his hands as the bone shard was set alight, transforming into an azure fire lotus flower that shot forth through the air.
This flame was known as the Phosphorus Bone Flame, and it was an extremely rare flame that could only arise under a set of extremely rigorous special conditions. Furthermore, it could only be stored in specially made bone shards of high-grade demon beasts. It was an extremely formidable flame, but it was also a disposable item that could only be used once, and that was why he had been so hesitant to unleash it.
The burly man thrust both palms forcefully through the air, and the fiery lotus flower drifted toward Han Li at a deceptively fast speed, reaching no more than 1,000 feet away from him in the blink of an eye.
All of a sudden, balls of azure flames erupted from the fiery lotus flower before hurtling toward Han Li in a frenzy.
Han Li naturally wasn't going to allow those flames to come into contact with his body, and the Heavy Water True Axis had already positioned itself in front of him at his behest.
He began to chant and incantation, and a burst of black light erupted out of the axis as it hovered in front of the fiery lotus flower like a huge black shield.
However, even after coming into contact with the Heavy Water True Axis, the Phosphorus Bone Flame wasn't snuffed out. Instead, it quickly enveloped the entire axis while releasing a scorching aura.
Han Li could feel a burst of extremely strange power surging through his Heavy Water True Axis, and it seemed to have been causing the heavy water to evaporate, reducing the weight of the axis as a result.
The weight reduction was virtually negligible, but Han Li's heart still jolted slightly upon detecting this. If he didn't clear away these azure flames as quickly as possible, he didn't know what other impact it was going to have on his Heavy Water True Axis.
With that in mind, he extended a hand forward, and a tiny fiery silver figure took shape on the palm of his hand. It turned around to give him a wide smile, then skipped down from his hand and transformed into a wave of silver fire that swooped onto the Heavy Water True Axis to intertwine itself with the Phosphorus Bone Flames.
The silver and azure flames intertwined on the surface of the axis, and to the Phosphorus Bone Flame's credit, it was able to temporarily hold its own against the Essence Fire Raven, with neither one able to devour the other.
