"Shut your mouth!"
Feng Wuchen flared up with rage as he grabbed onto the hilt of his willow leaf sword with both hands, and the sword split up into two, one in each hand. Immediately thereafter, his arms began to sway gently along with the two swords like willow branches in a light breeze.
At the same time, countless radiant white sub-branches were emerging from the pair of longswords, and it was as if the two swords really had become a pair of willow branches.
Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this, but he didn't make any rash moves.
Right at this moment, Feng Wuchen suddenly swung his swords through the air, and hundreds of willow branches formed by starpower swept toward Han Li in an almighty wave.
Han Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, and he immediately darted back in retreat, but as soon as he sprang into motion, the air currents that he stirred up with his body caused all of the sword projections to veer off their original trajectories to continue pursuing him, and they had also become several times faster.
To Feng Wuchen's surprise, Han Li didn't appear to be all that concerned in the face of the formidable storm of sword projections.
He slowly extended his right hand out of his sleeve, and a small, white shield flew out from within, hovering around three feet in front of him.
The shield was trembling incessantly as the eighteen star designs on its surface glowed radiantly,as if it were struggling to contain some type of pent-up power.
In the instant that the storm of sword projections descended upon Han Li, a faint draconic roar rang out, and a burst of radiant white light erupted out of the white shield, forming an ethereal starry light barrier around Han Li.A string of loud booms rang out in rapid succession as the storm of sword projections ravaged the starry light barrier from all directions, causing the nearby space to ripple and warp violently.
The starry light barrier immediately began to tremble, and it was being rapidly stripped away. As a result, the light barrier was also shrinking around Han Li, and before long, it had shrunk down to no more than three feet away from Han Li.
A cold sneer appeared on Feng Wuchen's face upon seeing this, but Han Li remained as calm and collected as ever.
In fact, he was so composed that he had his left hand clasped behind his back, and he extended his right hand forward as he let loose a loud roar.
Immediately thereafter, profound acupoints that he had never revealed before began to light up over his body one after another in rapid succession.
The number of profound acupoints on Han Li's body increased all the way to 138, and at that point, a projection of a dragon suddenly flew out of the eighteen star designs on the surface of the Star Shield.
Another draconic roar rang out as the dragon projection abruptly swelled to over a hundred times its original size, and it circled around Han Li momentarily before rising up into the heavens.
The dragon projection stirred up extremely formidable spatial fluctuations that erupted forth in all directions, causing all of the oncoming willow leaf sword projections to shatter into specks of starlight before dissipating into nothingness, and Feng Wuchen's triumphant smile immediately stiffened upon seeing this.
"138!" Yao Li exclaimed as she clapped a hand over her own mouth.
Toxic Dragon's eyes were also wide with astonishment, while Yi Liya's hands had balled up into tight fists, and a conflicted look had appeared on his face.
In contrast, Gu Qianxun was watching the battle from the lobby with a faint smile on her face.
On the elevated platform, Chen Yang was finally able to heave an internal sigh of relief.
He had always known that Han Li had never revealed his true power, but he had no idea exactly how powerful Han Li was.
At this point, he was beginning to think that as long as Han Li wished for it to be so, he could keep displaying more and more profound acupoints indefinitely.
"This Li Feiyu is quite proficient at concealing his powers, isn't he?" E Kuai remarked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed, he and Fellow Daoist Gu Qianxun are the pillars of our Green Goat City," Chen Yang replied with a smile.
"Are we sure he's not a spy sent by Puppet City? It seems a little suspicious that he's hiding so much," Qin Yuan remarked in a skeptical manner.
"Don't go spouting such nonsensical accusations if you don't have any proof, City Lord Chen! Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!" Chen Yang snapped in a cold voice.
"What consequences will I have to bear? Do you want to fight me right here? If so, I'd be more than happy to oblige," Qin Yuan countered in a cold voice, while Fu Jian and Sun Tu remained silent, eager to watch a conflict erupt between the two.
Right at this moment, E Kuai scolded in a cold voice, "Settle down!"
Even though no profound acupoints had lit up over his body, he was suddenly giving off a tremendous aura, one that was filled with unmatched power and regal authority.
Chen Yang and Qin Yuan immediately reined in their own auras upon seeing this, following which both of them cupped their fists in an apologetic salute.
E Kuai's aura also slowly faded away as his expression eased slightly, and he said, "Fellow Daoist was only making a joke just now, so don't get so worked up, Fellow Daoist Chen. It's a blessing for our Profound City that you've managed to unearth such a bright talent."
"Indeed, City Lord E," Sun Tu and the others hurriedly chimed in in a flattering fashion.
Meanwhile, Mistress Liu Hua remained completely uninterested in what was happening around him, and his gaze was fixed firmly on Han Li and Feng Wuchen's platform.
The majority of the spectators present also had their attention focused on this battle. After all, the battle between Zhu Ziyuan and Jin Gong was hardly worth watching at all.
"So what if you have 138 profound acupoints?" Feng Wuchen sneered before abruptly vanishing from the spot, circling rapidly around Han Li while waiting for an opportunity to strike.
At the same time, he continued swinging his swords through the air, unleashing flurries of willow leaf sword projections that were even more powerful than before, but Han Li's defenses remained as watertight as ever.
As the stalemate wore on, Feng Wuchen's expression darkened further and further.
Right at this moment, he drew to an abrupt halt, and over 150 profound acupoints lit up over his body, while countless starry runes emerged on the willow leaf swords in his hands.
Immediately thereafter, a radiant wave of white light erupted out of the two swords, and rays of white starlight began to shine down from the heavens before converging toward the two swords, producing a faint buzzing sound.
Han Li was immediately able to identify this attack as the one that had severely wounded Yi Liya, and a serious look finally appeared on his face.
"Go!" Feng Wuchen yelled as he swept his left hand through the air, and his willow leaf sword instantly flew out of his grasp before hurtling directly toward Han Li as a radiant blade of white light.
The space in the wake of the blade of light rumbled and collapsed violently, and in response, Han Li thrust both of his palms forward as the eighteen profound acupoints of the Titan Vajra Arts lit up over his arms.
The starlight radiating from the Star Shield instantly swelled outward to oppose the oncoming blade of light, and a resounding boom rang out as the two clashed.
The surrounding space began to fracture as brilliant white light that was as radiant as the sun erupted from the point where the blade of the light and the Star Shield were in contact with one another,
All of a sudden, a faint crack rang out, and Han immediately noticed that a hair-thin crack had appeared on the surface of the Star Shield.
As a result, the starry light barrier released by the Star Shield instantly began to tremble in an unsteady fashion, and holes of different sizes were beginning to appear on its surface.
An elated look flashed through Feng Wuchen's eyes upon seeing this, and he began swinging the willow leaf sword in his right hand like a willow branch once again.
Countless willow leaf sword projections erupted out of the sword, culminating in a violent storm that cascaded down upon Han Li.
The starry light barrier wasn't able to protect him any longer, and over a hundred sword projections instantly fell upon him, tearing countless gashes into his robes.
Through the gashes in his clothes, it could be seen that a True Extreme Film had emerged over his body, and it was easily able to keep out the sword projections descending upon him.
A cold sneer appeared on Feng Wuchen's face as he grabbed onto the hilt of his sword with both hands, and over 160 profound acupoints lit up over his body, while a series of bright specks of light also began to emerge along the blade of his sword.
Those are star acupoints!
Only after learning about star artifacts from Chen Yang did Han Li become aware of the concept of star acupoints.
Just like the number of profound acupoints on a cultivator's body, the number of star acupoints on a star artifact was a direct indication of its caliber. The more star acupoints a star artifact possessed, the more powerful it was, but at the same time, it would also be more difficult to refine.
Once a star artifact was refined to a certain extent, it would begin to feel like an extension of one's body, and at that point, the star acupoints on the star artifact would also become pillars of strength for the wielder, just like the profound acupoints on their body.
The Star Shield had a total of eighteen star acupoints, but with only seven days to refine it, Han Li was currently only able to draw upon the power of eight of its eighteen star acupoints, while Feng Wuchen had already completely refined his willow leaf swords long ago.
At this moment, there were twenty-one star acupoints glowing radiantly on his willow leaf sword, and his aura had swelled to unprecedented heights.
All of a sudden, he appeared directly in front of Han Li in the blink of an eye, then thrust his longsword diagonally upward, aiming at Han Li's lower abdomen, which was currently exposed by one of the holes in the starry light barrier released by the Star Shield.
