Wang Yu
Chapter 781: Encirclement and Interception
Half a quarter of an hour later, joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to grab.
A gray light flashed in Han Li's hand, and a piece of gray beast bone appeared.
The beast bone was a jade slip-like object, engraved with lines and patterns, and was a map of the Shi Huan Mountains.
At this moment, a purple-black light flew back from a distance, flashing into the figure of Shi Chuan Kong.
"Everything is resolved, no one was left alive. Moreover, I captured one person and searched their soul, and learned that these people are all subordinates of the Golden Rhino King, one of the Ten Calamities. The guy you just killed, Fellow Daoist Li, was called Tie Yu, and he was also an important confidant of the Golden Rhino King." A strange light flashed deep in his pupils, and he said lightly.
"I also have some gains here. I found a map of the Shi Huan Mountains from Tie Yu's storage magic tool. Take a look." Han Li said "Oh" and handed over the gray beast bone, not paying much attention.
"Great! Finally, we don't have to blindly wander around anymore." Shi Chuan Kong was also overjoyed when he heard this, and took the beast bone jade slip. He was about to investigate, but suddenly stopped.
"The Golden Rhino King is said to be tyrannical and vengeful. We killed his people, and I'm afraid pursuers will be coming soon. Let's leave first." Shi Chuan Kong said with a solemn expression.
"You're right." Han Li nodded.
The two figures swayed and turned into two streaks of light, shooting towards the distance, disappearing into the distant sky in a flash.
……
Golden Rhino King's cave.
In a magnificent golden palace, a plump man like a meatball kicked away a charming maid who was kneeling beside him massaging his legs, and stood up. The fat accumulated on his huge belly trembled up and down, and he waved his big hand violently, smashing the golden wine glass in his hand heavily.
The wine glass landed and shattered immediately, and the dark red wine inside flowed all over the ground.
Several maids around him fell to their knees, their entire bodies sticking to the ground, trembling all over, not daring to raise their heads, for fear that their king would get angry and kick them as well.
"Tie Yu, you trash, you can't even handle such a small matter. Someone, go find out if his head has been eaten by wild beasts. If not, bring it all back to me, wrap it in gold paint and put it under the steps in front of my palace to be trampled on every day." The Golden Rhino King roared, his somewhat ridiculous, high-pitched voice echoing in the hall, but no one dared to show a trace of a smile.
Immediately, more than a dozen subordinates with ferocious looks in the hall shouted "Understood" and retreated together.
After cursing for a while, the Golden Rhino King seemed to still be angry. He turned around and grabbed a golden silk inlaid glass wine pot and smashed it out heavily.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. This subordinate is willing to share your worries and will go and take Shi Chuan Kong's head." From the side of the hall, a burly man wearing golden crow chain armor took a step forward, bowed forward, and said.
This person had a leopard head and ringed eyes, a large waist, and was somewhat similar to the Golden Rhino. However, his muscles were bulging, looking very strong, and his face was nine points similar to a human, only retaining a black coal-like nose and sharp teeth exposed mouth.
Seeing this fierce general under his command take the initiative to ask for orders, the Golden Rhino King's expression softened slightly, and he showed a pensive look, his eyes glancing towards a man wearing a snow-white robe and carrying a sword, with a slender figure.
His figure was no different from that of the human race. There was no raised nasal bone on his entire head, only two small holes, almost maintaining the appearance of a snow-white snake head. The expression in his eyes was cold, and just standing there gave people the illusion of being an ice sculpture.
"Since Tie Yu could give him his head, it seems that the youngest son of the Holy Lord is not an easy person to deal with. Forget it... Since Shi Zhanfeng has promised such benefits, Tong Yu, Yin Yu, you two should make a trip together and try to capture him alive." The Golden Rhino King pondered silently for a moment, then said.
"Your Majesty, why bother so much? I alone am enough." The stout Tong Yu glanced at the snake-headed man and said.
"When has my order required you to question it?" The Golden Rhino King narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"I dare not." Tong Yu's body tensed, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said.
"Your Majesty, why capture him alive?" Yin Yu stepped forward expressionlessly and asked.
"With a living bargaining chip, it's easier to talk business with the Holy Lord's eldest prince. This time, even Tie Yu was lost, so the price can't be the same as before." The Golden Rhino King grabbed a snake-tailed woman, put his arms around her and rubbed her while saying.
"Understood, this subordinate will pay attention when taking action." Yin Yu nodded.
"Alright, you guys go." The Golden Rhino King ordered.
"Yes." The two of them took their orders and turned to leave.
……
Several days later.
In a dense forest shrouded in purple mist in the Shi Huan Mountains, a faint silver light cluster was lit up, only a hundred zhang in radius, with faint spatial fluctuations coming from it.
Inside the silver light cluster, Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong stood opposite each other. In the middle of them lay a scorched black corpse that was dozens of zhang long. It was shaped like an octopus, with hundreds of root-like tentacles growing under its body, but half of them had been broken.
"Just a mere Hundred Tentacle Beast in the True Immortal Realm is quite difficult to deal with, and it took us so long." Shi Chuan Kong kicked the scorched corpse's tentacles and said.
"This guy's natal Divine Ability is too special. After the tentacles touch the ground, the main body can move around. If it weren't for your spatial domain, we might still be taken around in circles by it." Han Li shook his head and said.
"Alright, now that the demon core has been taken, let's continue on our way. We killed one of his capable officers, and the Golden Rhino King won't let it go." Shi Chuan Kong breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"This time, let's ride my flying chariot. Let's fly higher to avoid being disturbed by the demons below." Han Li nodded.
With that said, he flicked his wrist, and a jade flying chariot emerged.
Shi Chuan Kong nodded, put away his spatial domain, jumped onto the flying chariot, and together with Han Li, turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky, speeding away.
However, after the flying chariot had traveled more than a hundred miles, the light suddenly stopped and came to a halt.
In the void ahead, stood a burly man in golden armor and a cold-faced man in white robes.
"The visitors are unkind! It seems that these two guys didn't even bring miscellaneous soldiers this time in order to catch up with us." Shi Chuan Kong glanced at the two people in front of him, frowned slightly, and said.
Han Li looked them up and down and found that the golden-armored man was a Late-Stage Grand Unity cultivator, and the white-robed man was a Peak Grand Unity cultivator, and from the aura, they were much stronger than the Tie Yu they had encountered before.
"Who killed Tie Yu?" The golden-armored man named Tong Yu spoke first.
"What, do you want to avenge him?" Han Li asked with a sneer.
"I just want to know, in whose hands did that trash die?" Tong Yu chuckled and said.
"You want to know who he died in the hands of? Isn't that simple? After you die in a while, catch up with him in the underworld and ask him, and you'll know." Shi Chuan Kong said with a smile.
"This kid can't be killed, only captured. Yin Yu, I hit hard and can't control the heat, so I'll leave it to you. As for the other one, I'll take care of killing him, but not burying him." Tong Yu's gaze swept over Shi Chuan Kong and finally fell on Han Li, and he said with a smile.
Yin Yu, dressed in white robes, slowly drew out his long sword from behind, neither nodding in agreement nor shaking his head in refusal.
Tong Yu was used to this, raised his foot and stepped heavily in the void, and a loud bang resounded in the high sky. An invisible ripple spread out, and his figure had disappeared.
"So fast."
Han Li cried out inwardly, and the jade flying chariot was instantly put away, and his figure shot out.
Thirty zhang away, a green light and a black light suddenly collided, and a deafening roar sounded.
Han Li only felt a mountain-like pressure hit him head-on, and the ripple fluctuations caused by the layers of impact did not spread out, but instead, one layer after another, they were crushing towards him.
At first, he could still resist head-on with his own strength, but after several layers of power were superimposed, the ebb and flow, Han Li felt a little sore in his arms and found it difficult to maintain.
At the moment when the seventh layer of ripples shrank back, Han Li finally couldn't hold on and was knocked backwards.
Shi Chuan Kong was about to move when he heard a clear cry, and a snow-white sword light suddenly lit up, cutting down towards his head.
He turned sideways, trying to avoid it, but when the sword light fell, the sword energy rolled violently, as if a snowslide was tearing apart the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, rolling bigger and bigger, wrapping more and more, and even pulling the surrounding space to slightly deform.
Shi Chuan Kong only felt an extremely powerful attraction coming from it, and he quickly pinched the magic formula with both hands, condensing a space barrier beside him to block the connection between himself and it, and then jumped up and escaped.
The space barrier was rolled into by the sword energy and instantly shattered into countless pieces.
After Shi Chuan Kong stabilized his figure, he immediately twisted his wrist, and a silver spear appeared in his palm, looking towards Yin Yu.
The latter's vertical pupils were also staring at him, as if staring at prey, without blinking for a moment.
On the other side, explosions continued in the void, and Tong Yu and Han Li were constantly colliding in mid-air. The strength was greater each time, and the situation was exactly the same as the first time. The longer the two confronted each other, the greater the strength Tong Yu superimposed.
Although Han Li could feel the bursts of Law fluctuations released from his body, he couldn't figure out what Law it was.
However, he also found a way to deal with it, which was not to fight Tong Yu head-on for a long time, but to separate after the first collision, and then look for opportunities to launch the next attack.
However, this Tong Yu seemed reckless, but he was actually very good at close combat, and he couldn't find any flaws at all. In addition, his speed was very fast, which made Han Li unable to keep up.
