Chapter 98: Trapped

"Let us retreat? An ascender from the lower realm is being too arrogant!"

Hearing Han Li's words, Han Qiu's face darkened slightly. A flash of white light emanated from his body, and he pointed a finger forward, causing a cloud of white mist to appear out of nowhere in front of him.

With a slight surge, the mist intertwined and wrapped around itself in the middle.

As a piercing sound rang out, a white ice锥, several zhang long, condensed into existence. White light flashed across its surface, and with a blur, it divided into two, then four, then eight...

In the blink of an eye, countless white ice cones appeared densely packed, almost obscuring half of the sky, heading straight for Han Li like a storm.

An extremely cold aura emanated from the sky full of ice cones, and the surrounding temperature plummeted to the extreme. Even ice crystals condensed in the void, glistening and shimmering, as if to freeze this entire world.

Almost at the same time as Han Qiu made his move, Ancestor Lu Kun and Madam Gu Gu also launched their attacks.

Ancestor Lu Kun was enveloped in a layer of blue light. He stretched out his five fingers of one hand, and specks of crystalline blue light appeared in his palm, which shot into the sea below with several swooshing sounds.

Rumble!

The sea surface suddenly churned, revealing a huge vortex, which continued to expand, emitting a deafening roar like ten thousand horses galloping. Vaguely, flashes of blue light could be seen within.

Madam Gu Gu closed her eyes slightly, formed a hand seal, and black light flickered on her body surface. A wisp of black mist rose from her body surface and disappeared into a cloud above.

In an instant, the white cloud turned pitch-black like ink, and rolled incessantly. An inexplicable fluctuation spread from it, attracting the rich water vapor within a thousand miles to converge towards it, causing it to expand rapidly.

At this moment, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Han Li had already soared into the sky with a swirling azure light, rushing towards Han Qiu and the other two amidst the sky full of ice cones.

A flash of精光 appeared in his eyes, and seven starlight dots emerged on his chest and abdomen. His body cracked and creaked, suddenly growing by a third. He punched out into the void.

A terrifying force surged out, causing the entire void to tremble violently, then suddenly explode.

Countless visible white ripples appeared layer upon layer, spreading outward from his fist as the center.

The sky full of flying blue ice cones collided with the white ripples, immediately erupting in a series of crackling explosions, all shattered into countless tiny ice crystals, splashing in all directions.

Seeing this, Han Qiu's expression remained unchanged, and his hands quickly formed hand seals, consecutively launching several magic seals.

With a "bang", the tiny ice crystals exploded again, turning into countless white cold mists, which rolled and spread, instantly enveloping the area hundreds of zhang around Han Li, and a strong wave of law emanated from it, rippling outward in circles.

Han Li only felt that everything around him was a blur of white. He waved his sleeve fiercely, and a gust of wind swept out, rolling towards the surroundings.

However, apart from rolling around for a while, these white cold mists showed no sign of dissipating.

Han Li ignored these mists and plunged directly into the white mist without stopping.

The surrounding mist seemed to be alive, immediately wrapping around his body, but for him, this level of extreme cold was not to be feared.

With a "swoosh", Han Li flew out of the range of the white mist in the blink of an eye. His body glowed with azure light, and he raised his arm, about to deliver a thunderous blow to Han Qiu and the other two.

But then his expression changed, because the front was empty. The figures of Han Qiu and the other two seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

His figure swayed and stabilized. He looked around, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw Han Qiu and the other two standing there unharmed, hundreds of zhang away.

Han Li glanced around, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

It was not that Han Qiu and the other two had suddenly moved, but that when he passed through the white mist, his five senses had been unconsciously disrupted, thus changing his direction of advance, and he had flown out from the other side of the white mist.

Immediately afterward, he frowned slightly and looked down, seeing that his legs, abdomen, and other parts were entangled by strands of white mist as thin as hair. A strange chill was seeping into his body through these mists, making him feel gradually numb all over, as if he were truly freezing.

Almost without thinking, Han Li let out a low shout, and the seven-star patterns on his chest and abdomen suddenly lit up. His body surface was suddenly covered with a layer of translucent film, immediately isolating the strange white mist, preventing it from getting any closer.

All of this took a long time to describe, but it actually happened in an instant.

However, before he could make any other moves, with a "splash", a behemoth shot out from the vortex in the sea below.

It was a blue giant that was dozens of zhang tall, seemingly composed of seawater. It looked quite ugly, with a large head and a small body, and hands and feet of uneven thickness and length, as if someone had casually pinched it out of dough.

The blue water giant rose into the air, its huge figure blocking Han Li's path. A blue palm the size of a house slammed towards Han Li.

Before the giant hand arrived, a raging hurricane howled, blurring and distorting the air wherever it passed. The momentum was enormous, and even Han Li's body was swayed by it.

Han Li stabilized his figure with a sway, clenched his fist with five fingers of one hand, and punched out without dodging or avoiding.

An invisible force shot out, causing the void to emit ear-piercing bursts and twist constantly.

Countless white ripples reappeared, then condensed into a white, hazy giant fist shadow, which struck the blue water giant first.

A scene that surprised Han Li appeared!

The area of the giant's body that was struck rippled in circles, forming a vortex.

The white fist shadow flashed and disappeared into the vortex, and the next moment it shot out from the other side of its body, continuing to fly forward, striking the void, causing a muffled "crackling" explosion.

And the vortex on its body healed as before in the blink of an eye, seemingly unharmed.

At this time, the blue giant palm had also swung to Han Li's presence.

"Bang!"

Han Li wanted to dodge but it was too late. His body felt like it had been hit hard by a meteorite, and he was sent flying out, tumbling a long way.

But he straightened his body and stabilized his figure. Although his face looked a little pale, he had not suffered any damage.

However, the blue water giant rushed towards him again.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Kun, I didn't expect that after a mere two thousand years, you have become even more adept at using the Law of Soft Water to condense this featureless Water Ghost, which just so happens to be the nemesis of this Xuan Immortal's brute force." In mid-air, Han Qiu said with a chuckle.

"Fellow Daoist Han Qiu, you flatter me. Your Law of Ice is not bad either. It seems that you have touched the threshold of some void domains." Ancestor Lu Kun said modestly, but he couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face.

"Hehe, just a little bit of the surface, it's far from the void domain. Next, we'll have to see Fellow Daoist Gu Gu show off her divine power." Han Qiu looked up at the mid-air and grinned.

Just as Han Li was entangled by the two, the dark cloud in mid-air had swelled to tens of miles in size, and streaks of silver snake-like lightning were darting within the cloud.

At this moment, Madam Gu Gu waved her hand solemnly and launched a magic seal. Lightning flashed in the dark cloud, and the entire cloud mass rolled violently!

Whirly!

Countless dense raindrops fell from the sky, pouring down like a torrential rain.

The raindrops were extremely dense, and they were also strangely connected to each other, forming strands of rain, falling from the sky.

Han Li had just dodged a punch from the blue water giant, and took the opportunity to look towards mid-air, frowning.

Strands of rain fell from the sky, and as soon as they touched his body, they wrapped around it like thin ropes.

In the blink of an eye, his body was entangled by hundreds of rain strands.

Han Li waved his arms vigorously, and the surface of the True Devil Body flickered with silver light, breaking the rain strands on his body, making low, almost inaudible muffled sounds.

These rain strands were extremely supple. Tens of them, hundreds of them, were nothing to him, but if he were trapped by thousands, tens of thousands of rain strands, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Han Li's expression instantly became extremely ugly. His whole body shone with azure light, and he flew towards the outside of the dark cloud's range.

A flash of blue light, and the blue water giant blocked Han Li's path, its two large hands slammed down.

Han Li punched out into the void with both fists.

Two booms!

Two invisible forces drew two white marks in the void, striking the giant's palms.

Blue light flashed on the giant's palms, and the two forces passed through, failing to cause any damage.

Whoosh whoosh!

The two giant palms continued to slam down without stopping.

"Damn it!"

Han Li roared angrily, and his body swayed to the side.

In just a few breaths, his body was once again entangled by hundreds of rain strands, making his movements much slower, but he still barely dodged the giant palm strike.

The blue water giant opened its mouth wide, and a dozen millstone-sized blue water balls shot out, dazzling blue light shining inside, emitting violent power fluctuations, heading straight for Han Li.

At the same time, its body turned and pounced again like lightning.

Han Li was tightly entangled by this indestructible water giant, and had no time to break the rain strands on his body. More and more strands wrapped around his body, making it increasingly difficult to move.

But if you look closely at this time, the light on Han Qiu and the other three was much dimmer than at the beginning, especially Madam Gu Gu and Lu Kun.

After a few breaths, a crystalline blue cocoon appeared in mid-air, vaguely revealing Han Li's figure inside, almost unable to move.

The blue water giant also stopped attacking at this moment, simply floating motionless beside the blue cocoon.

"Fellow Daoists, thank you for your hard work. Next, it's up to Han to do it!"

A look of joy flashed in Han Qiu's eyes, and he let out a low roar. Countless white runes emerged from the white light on his body, emitting an extremely strong law fluctuation, merging into the white mist.

At the same time, the white light on his body was rapidly dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The white mist immediately surged, rolling and rushing towards Han Li in the distance, submerging Han Li together with the surrounding cocoon, forming a huge white smoke ball.

A strong law fluctuation filled with extreme coldness flashed inside.

Crack!

The white mist dissipated, revealing a white ice ball dozens of zhang in diameter, with Han Li's body completely frozen inside.
