Wang Yu
Chapter 742 Jointly Repelling the Enemy
"Since we have no more concerns, the fastest way is to search the souls of those two Netherworld Clan children. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back," Shi Chuankong nodded and said.
Having said that, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Han Li and the others quickly came to the exit of the passage and looked towards the Burning Karma Lake.
The two children were still cultivating with their eyes closed, seemingly unaware of the spatial fluctuations behind them, without any reaction.
Shi Chuankong silently appeared behind them out of thin air, a smile on his lips, and reached out his arms to grab the back of their necks.
Han Li watched this scene from afar. Suddenly, a figure flashed before his eyes. It was Tihun who flashed past him and instantly arrived behind Shi Chuankong. A ball of scarlet light lit up on her raised palm, and she also slashed towards the back of his neck.
Everyone was shocked, and Hu San almost cried out.
There was a muffled "bang"!
Shi Chuankong felt a huge force coming from behind, causing him to crash heavily to the ground. He rolled continuously and hit the distant mountain wall. Before he could turn over, his expression suddenly changed.
Han Li and the others then saw clearly that a gray shadow was lying on his back. It was that shadow that Tihun had attacked.
Shi Chuankong reacted extremely quickly. After realizing something was wrong, crackling sounds immediately rang out from his body. A powerful, invisible energy burst out from his pores, turning into a huge force that struck in all directions.
The gray shadow clung tightly to his body. When it was hit by this force, it floated outward like a kite, but quickly stuck back on again.
Tihun's expression was grave. With a wave of her hand, a scarlet chain immediately shot out with a "clang," stabbing towards Shi Chuankong's back like a spirit snake.
The gray shadow seemed quite afraid of this, and took the initiative to fly away from Shi Chuankong's body, drifting to the side.
The two Netherworld Clan children were stunned by this, but they did not show much panic. They all swept towards the gray shadow's back.
"Youluo, how dare you help outsiders abduct members of my Netherworld Clan?" The gray shadow gradually solidified, revealing a Netherworld Clan figure with a pale face and a hooked nose. He shouted sharply in a shrill voice.
"Yinxiao," Tihun frowned and uttered two words.
At the same time, she also transmitted a voice message to Han Li and the others: "This person cultivates the Law of Illusion, and is at the peak of the Grand Yi realm. The law he controls is quite strange, and he is very good at concealment, sneak attacks, and assassinations. Be careful."
"We can't delay too long. Let's attack together and make it quick," Han Li frowned slightly and said.
"Elder Yinxiao, I'm sorry," Tihun's face turned cold, and with a sudden shake of her hands, more than a dozen scarlet chains shot out from her sleeves, crisscrossing and covering Yinxiao.
The latter sneered, and instead of retreating, he directly crashed into the chains.
The moment all the chains pierced his body, his body rippled like the surface of water. The chains seemed to hit the surface of the water, and they all passed through without any obstruction. With a series of clanging sounds, they were all nailed to the ground.
Yinxiao passed through the chains in this way, with astonishing speed. He raised a palm and slapped down towards the top of Tihun's head. A spiral of gray light flickered in his palm, emitting bursts of tearing force like a gray vortex.
A trace of panic flashed in Tihun's eyes. She pulled the scarlet chains with both hands, trying to pull them back to her body, but found that the chains seemed to be locked on the ground, and could not move at all.
Seeing that the gray light palm was about to shatter her skull, a sly smile flashed in Tihun's eyes.
She raised a finger and划 across her own brow, and a dark red bloodstain immediately appeared on her brow. The skin and flesh turned to both sides, revealing a dark red demonic eye.
When Yinxiao saw this third demonic eye, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he was about to fly backwards.
However, the demonic eye in Tihun's brow had already lit up, and a dark red light gushed out from it, covering his face.
In an instant, Yinxiao's soul seemed to be struck by lightning, violently vibrating. His body swayed from side to side, as if he could not control himself and was about to fall.
At the same time, Han Li's figure suddenly flashed behind him. The golden electric filaments on the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords flickered violently, stabbing straight towards the back of his head.
Just at this moment, an unforeseen event occurred!
Yinxiao, who seemed to be swaying from side to side and unable to control himself, suddenly tilted his neck to the left, narrowly avoiding Han Li's sword. A blurry light flashed at the back of his head, revealing a pale cheek, which was actually Yinxiao.
"Hehe, I knew it wasn't just the two of you..."
His head suddenly pierced forward, as if splitting into two figures, peeling away from his original body and shooting towards Han Li. He also held a black dagger in his hand, stabbing straight at Han Li's throat.
Han Li seemed to have been prepared for this. The golden light behind him suddenly flashed, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel roared out, spinning rapidly and emitting bursts of golden light.
The moment Yinxiao's arm stabbed out, it fell into the golden light, and immediately seemed to be frozen. The speed slowed down in an instant.
Han Li did not need to dodge at all. He reached out a palm to clamp his neck, and with the other hand, he raised the long sword and directly stabbed it into his head.
However, the moment the tip of the sword pierced in, Han Li's heart trembled, realizing that something was wrong. He quickly withdrew his hand, and his figure fell downwards.
But immediately afterwards, a sharp pain came from his abdomen.
When Han Li looked down, he saw that another "Yinxiao" had emerged from the abdomen of Yinxiao, who was being held by him. He was holding a black dagger in his hand, stabbing above his dantian.
The Yinxiao who stabbed Han Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly slashed upwards with the dagger in his hand.
A thick blade formed by baleful qi suddenly erupted, directly cutting Han Li in half. Internal organs and intestines were broken all over the ground, and a large amount of fresh blood splattered out.
Yinxiao retracted his dagger and licked it with his tongue, just about to laugh smugly when he suddenly heard Han Li's voice: "Fellow Daoist Shi, are you ready?"
"I'm ready," Shi Chuankong responded.
"Mirror Flower, Water Moon, Disperse." Han Li let out a light shout, and the divine ability of Law of Heaven and Earth was immediately withdrawn.
Yinxiao only felt a daze, and when he looked again, he found that there was no trace of Han Li in front of him. Only he was holding a dagger, maintaining the posture of licking blood. The two Netherworld Clan children were being held by Hu San, one in each hand, and had already fainted.
"No..."
Yinxiao cried out in alarm and was about to step forward, but found that the space around him was a little distorted and deformed. His whole person seemed to be tightly squeezed by invisible spatial forces, unable to move at all, and even unable to materialize his body.
Not far behind him, Shi Chuankong was pinching a strange magic seal with one hand, and clutching the strings of a silver pipa tightly. His face was pale, his ten fingers were soaked in blood, but he did not relax in the slightest.
"Fellow Daoist Li, quickly attack, I can't hold on anymore..." Shi Chuankong shouted loudly.
As soon as his voice fell, a bolt of lightning had already burst out, piercing through Yinxiao's chest the moment Shi Chuankong released the spatial suppression.
Almost at the same time, a pitch-black giant candle dragon claw also stretched down from above, grabbing Yinxiao's head and preparing to crush his head and soul together.
"Hold on," Han Li shouted quickly.
At the same time as he spoke, his palms flipped repeatedly, and Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords were taken out with a flip of his hand. Evil-averting divine lightning flickered on them, and they were inserted into Yinxiao's vital acupoints one after another.
Yinxiao was ravaged by thunder and lightning, and screamed in agony.
Shi Chuankong's face was still a little unsightly, but he let out a long breath.
Just now, Tihun first used divine abilities to shake Yinxiao's soul, and Han Li took the opportunity to use Law of Heaven and Earth, buying him time to use secret techniques to activate the silver pipa. Only then was he able to capture Yinxiao, who was at the peak of the Grand Yi realm, while minimizing the commotion of the battle as much as possible.
However, his previous injuries had not yet healed, and this time he forcibly activated the silver pipa, so he suffered a considerable backlash.
After imprisoning Yinxiao, Baili Yan did not relax and still held his head tightly.
"Master, you consumed too much energy in the Burning Karma passage just now. Let me handle the soul search. You can rest for a while," Tihun said when she saw Han Li was about to step forward.
"Alright," Han Li nodded.
Tihun then walked forward, raised her palm and pointed her finger at her brow. A dark red bloodstain emerged from her brow, and the skin and flesh turned to both sides, revealing a dark red demonic eye again.
A dark red light gushed out from the demonic eye, sweeping over Yinxiao and the two children at the same time.
Searching the souls of three people at the same time was something that Han Li, despite his powerful divine sense, could not do.
The two children in a comatose state suddenly opened their eyes at the same time. However, their bodies swayed and sat up, and there was no trace of brilliance in their gray eyes. They were as wooden as puppets.
Yinxiao instinctively resisted, and the divine light in his eyes also dissipated.
A moment later, the red light in Tihun's demonic eye suddenly retracted, and the two children closed their eyes again, and fainted again.
"How is it?" Han Li asked.
"The Purifying Pool is their clan's holy land. These two children have not yet been soul-purified by the Burning Karma, so they are not considered true Netherworld Clan members, so they have not really been there yet. Yinxiao's divine sense is not weak, and even if he is imprisoned, he can still resist my soul search, but I have managed to figure out the general terrain of the soul-purification area," Tihun said quickly.
"That's good," Han Li nodded.
"In that case, this guy is useless, right?" Baili Yan said.
Before anyone could answer, he suddenly grabbed with his palm, and the pitch-black giant candle dragon claw instantly closed. With a "bang," he crushed Yinxiao's head.
"Don't..." Tihun exclaimed in shock, but it was too late.
"Fellow Daoist Tihun, you..." Baili Yan looked at Tihun, somewhat puzzled.
Han Li glanced at Tihun, but understood in his heart that Tihun was willing to help him, but it did not mean that she was really willing to betray the Netherworld Domain Lord. After all, the other party had been very kind to her, and she was unwilling to kill or injure Netherworld Clan members.
