Qu Lin took a sword to the shoulder, and blood splattered faintly from the wound. He knelt down on one knee.

He grunted, and the golden light around him suddenly flared up. He actually stood up again under the pressure of the giant sword, and the wound on his shoulder began to heal.

Controlling the giant sword was a short man in a black robe. Seeing this, he snorted coldly and pinched a sword gesture in his hand, pulling it down hard. The golden giant sword followed and plunged down.

Qu Lin's body trembled under the pressure, but he did not kneel down again, remaining firmly in place.

"Haha, is this all you've got?" he said with a loud laugh, mocking them.

"I've long heard that the Devouring Gold Immortal's physique is indestructible. Seeing it today... it's nothing more than this," Chi Meng said with a sneer.

With that, he waved his hand, and a large swarm of fire ants climbed onto Qu Lin's body.

Wherever they passed, they left traces of burning sulfur, leaving black marks on Qu Lin's skin.

Qu Lin glanced at them, then looked away. With a shake of his arms, the golden light around him blazed, and layers of strange ripples radiated from within.

All the fire ants were shaken off, and the giant sword on his shoulder also trembled violently, forced back by the golden light.

He lifted his foot and stomped hard on the ground, and a circle of golden ripples spread out beneath him. He shot up like an arrow, ready to escape from this place.

However, just as he flew into the air, the sky above suddenly darkened, and a giant ghost formed from black mist suddenly emerged from the clouds, opening its mouth to swallow him.

As soon as he entered the giant ghost's mouth, Qu Lin felt a dizzy spell in his sea of consciousness. Before he could react, chains of gray, semi-transparent chains shot from all directions, piercing through his body.

The chains were shrouded in gray mist. Entering Qu Lin's body, he felt cold all over, and his immortal spiritual power seemed to be frozen, making it impossible for him to break free for a while.

The attacks of the others followed closely, and flames, cyan light, sword light, and fist shadows fell one after another, all aimed at Qu Lin's body.

Although Qu Lin's expression changed, he took all these attacks, still appearing unharmed.

"This worm's physique is indeed strong. Let's see if I can destroy his divine consciousness. Even if he becomes demented, it's the same if we take him back," said the tall man who cultivated the Silver Yin Soul Law, his voice hoarse.

With that, he twisted his wrist and took out a black flute, placing it to his lips.

Han Li saw this scene from afar and thought to himself that something was wrong.

The next moment, a rapid flute sound rang out from a distance.

Runes lit up on the flute, and circles of strange sound waves, barely visible to the naked eye, rippled out from it, sweeping in all directions.

Qu Lin's originally calm expression changed abruptly the moment the sound waves rang out. His brow furrowed, and his face became contorted.

He felt as if an invisible saw had suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, pulling back and forth rapidly, trying to cut his soul and sea of consciousness in half.

Qu Lin thought that he had cultivated for many years, and the strength of his soul was considered top-notch among Great Luo cultivators, but he didn't expect it to be so vulnerable under the sound of this flute.

As the tall man's tone changed, the pitch of the sound waves suddenly became sharper. The previous saw disappeared, replaced by countless sharp drills, drilling into his soul.

"Ah..." A heart-wrenching roar rang out.

Although Han Li had been prepared, the three of them were also attacked when the flute sound came.

Among them, Ti Hun cultivated the same Dao Law and had the strongest ability to resist it. Han Li had the Refining Divine Art and an extraordinary soul, so he could naturally resist it to some extent.

Only Xiao Bai had inherited the power of the Mo Eye Pi Xiu for a short time and could not resist it. Although he held back from making a sound, his body was already trembling.

Seeing this, Ti Hun's brow flashed with a red light, splitting open.

A vertical eye appeared in the middle, emitting two dark red rays of light, which struck Han Li and Xiao Bai's brows respectively.

Han Li's divine consciousness immediately regained clarity, and Xiao Bai also felt less uncomfortable than before.

"Hehe, I've searched high and low to no avail, but it came without any effort. Han Li, I've been looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come to my door today." At this moment, Chi Meng's voice suddenly rang out.

His figure had already flown over and hovered above the three of them.

Seeing that his figure could no longer be concealed, Han Li appeared with Xiao Bai and Ti Hun, hovering in mid-air.

Ti Hun had already released a layer of dark red spirit domain, enveloping the three of them.

"In that case, I've troubled Immortal Chi Meng..." Han Li smiled casually, not afraid at all.

"Fellow Daoist Han..." Lan Yan, who had not participated in the battle, looked at this side from afar, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Chi Meng looked Han Li up and down, noticing the change in his aura, and was slightly startled.

How much time had passed since she failed to hunt down Han Li? This guy had actually reached the Great Luo Realm?

However, she quickly regained her composure.

"So what if you're in the Great Luo Realm? You're just a chick who hasn't cut off the three corpses yet. This time, I will definitely not let you slip away from my hands again," Chi Meng said with a chuckle.

Unlike other realms, after the early stage of Great Luo, each time a corpse is cut off, one can advance a level. After all three corpses are cut off, one can cross that insurmountable gap and achieve the Dao Ancestor Realm.

And each time a corpse is cut off, it is extremely dangerous. Once successful, the improvement in strength is very significant. The difference between each small realm is equivalent to a large realm before.

In addition, with their large numbers, Chi Meng naturally had full confidence in taking down Han Li. The only thing she needed to be wary of was his strange secret technique that allowed him to escape suddenly before.

She let out a loud shout, and with a wave of her hand, a piece of crimson light lit up, turning into a huge spherical light curtain that expanded, quickly enveloping a range of hundreds of miles.

Han Li and the others felt the surrounding air suddenly become scorching hot, and they had already been enveloped in Chi Meng's spirit domain.

All around, flames soared into the sky, and eight fiery waterfalls hung down from the surrounding firmament. The ground also turned into a lava lake.

The surrounding air was like boiling. Within a thousand miles, all the surface lakes and water systems were evaporated, and ravines stretching for thousands of miles appeared on the ground, with cracks everywhere.

Xiao Bai felt his mouth and tongue dry, as if the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy had been scorched away by the scorching power of this spirit domain.

"This woman doesn't seem to be a kind person," Xiao Bai couldn't help but say.

"It seems she didn't use her full strength in the last fight," Han Li said with a frown.

"Elder Xi Tang, leave the Devouring Gold Immortal to you and Elder Jian Qiu. The rest of you, join me in taking down this person," Chi Meng ordered.

The tall man who cultivated the Yin Soul Law and the short man who controlled the golden sword both responded.

The other two black-robed men flashed and came to Chi Meng's side.

"Ti Hun, go and rescue Qu Lin first," Han Li turned to Ti Hun and instructed.

"Okay," Ti Hun nodded and was about to leave.

"In my spirit domain, how can you come and go as you please?" Chi Meng raised her eyebrows and said angrily.

With that, she waved her hand, and the lava lake below suddenly churned violently. A fire giant more than a hundred feet tall slowly rose from it, holding a huge fire sword in its hand, blocking Ti Hun's path.

Seeing this, Ti Hun snorted coldly.

With a thought, a black ghost claw appeared out of thin air in her palm, and she used her divine power to wave it forward fiercely.

Several dark claw prints appeared out of thin air, directly tearing the void, and cutting the fire giant into several pieces.

She looked at the Nether Ghost Claw, which she had just obtained not long ago, and nodded in satisfaction.

As for the severed fire giants, they turned back into lava and flowed into the lava lake.

"I have as many fire spirits like this as I want in my spirit domain," Chi Meng said with a sneer.

Before she could finish speaking, the lava lake below churned even more violently. One fire giant after another stood up from it, wielding fire giant swords and slashing at Han Li and the others.

Han Li gently turned his palm, and a layer of golden light immediately opened up, turning into a light golden spirit domain that overlapped with Chi Meng's fire spirit domain.

Within the spirit domain, the flow of time instantly changed, and the speed at which several fire giants swung their swords slowed down.

Ti Hun flew out and waved the Nether Ghost Claw again, dozens of black claw prints appeared out of thin air, and once again cut off all the fire giants.

She passed through them and was about to go to Qu Lin's side.

However, at this moment, in a lava waterfall hanging from the sky, the slurry suddenly churned, and a lava dragon flew out of it, opening its bloody mouth and biting down on Ti Hun's head.

Ti Hun was not afraid. The Nether Ghost Claw once again displayed its power, tearing the lava dragon apart as well.

However, this lava dragon did not melt away directly like the previous fire giants. The torn opening instantly merged in a piece of red light, and continued to bite at Ti Hun.

"You don't have to worry about it, just go forward," At this moment, Han Li's voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

Hearing this, Ti Hun stopped attacking and rushed straight forward.

Just as her figure was about to be swallowed by the dragon's giant mouth, a splash of water suddenly sounded. A golden river suddenly surged out from the ground, directly pouring into the lava dragon's mouth.

The lava dragon's body immediately solidified in place, emitting bursts of white smoke.

Ti Hun took advantage of this wave of water and rushed straight through, passing through the dragon's body and flying directly out, arriving in front of Qu Lin.

Qu Lin looked at Ti Hun who came to rescue him, and Han Li in the distance, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Elder Xi Tang played the flute again. The sound waves emitted from it were condensed and did not disperse. Instead of spreading around, they gathered together and went straight to Ti Hun.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ti Hun's mouth. Not only was she not afraid, but she was also calculating how much progress she could make in her strength if she ate this guy in front of her.

Seeing the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a row of white teeth, Elder Xi Tang felt inexplicably palpitation for some reason.
