Chapter 239: Maniac

The cold pork displayed a look of shock and anger in its eyes, and its roars became more and more urgent.

Its natal cold energy was incredibly powerful, capable of infiltrating the enemy's body unnoticed, placing it in an invincible position from the start.

However, this human cultivator before it was completely unaffected by the cold energy.

At this moment, the Heavy Water True Wheel inside Han Li's body slowly rotated, and the cold energy that poured into his body was entirely absorbed by the True Wheel.

With a grab of his single hand, the four green flying lights instantly burst with sword light, swelling to nearly a hundred zhang in size, intersecting and rotating with each other.

Countless green sword shadows emerged, shattering all the incoming blue light.

Immediately afterward, Han Li guided with a sword incantation in his hand, and the four massive sword lights instantly merged into one, transforming into a thousand-zhang giant sword, with thick golden electric arcs suddenly appearing on its surface, slashing fiercely towards the cold pork.

The cold pork's body trembled, seemingly extremely fearful of the golden electric arcs, and it opened its mouth wide, emitting a sharp cry.

Visible ripples appeared in the surrounding void, and where the ripples reached, the void suddenly paused, as if it had been imprisoned by a strange power.

Han Li felt his body tighten, unable to move, and the golden thunder sword also abruptly stopped, suspended in mid-air.

The cold pork let out a low roar, and the bone spurs on its body suddenly lit up, and the surrounding black mist immediately shot out, transforming into a thick black python, pouncing towards Han Li.

A look of surprise first appeared on Han Li's face, but he immediately snorted coldly, and a large expanse of black water light suddenly emerged from his body, condensing into a huge round wheel phantom, which spun violently.

A terrifying force surged from the black round wheel phantom, easily crushing the surrounding force that bound the void.

The golden thunder sword immediately regained its freedom and slashed down fiercely, colliding with the black python.

"Chi chi" sounds rang out!

Golden electric arcs wrapped around the black python, creating a series of rumbling sounds!

The python let out a wail, and its massive body exploded with a "bang", turning into countless wisps of black smoke that dissipated.

Upon seeing this, the cold pork revealed a look of fear in its eyes, and the black and blue light on its body flared up as it turned to flee into the distance.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort appeared in the cold pork's ears, and immediately after, a sharp pain suddenly struck its mind, as if a red-hot awl had pierced it fiercely, causing it to let out a miserable cry, and its fleeing body immediately stopped.

In the next moment, a golden sword shadow flashed, entering its mouth and piercing out from its buttocks, and countless blue blood poured out from the two huge wounds, forming two blue fountains of blood.

The light in the cold pork's eyes quickly dimmed, becoming gray.

Its Nascent Soul had not even escaped before it was directly obliterated by the sword energy.

Han Li summoned with a single hand, and the golden thunder sword whistled back, transforming into four flying swords with another flash, and entering his body.

Then, he waved his other hand.

A blue light shot out, enveloping the cold pork's corpse.

With a crack!

A layer of blue ice immediately appeared on the surface of the huge cold pork corpse, and the blood immediately stopped flowing.

The mission was to retrieve this corpse without losing too much blood.

Han Li waved his hand and stored the cold pork's corpse away, and then, without stopping, his figure transformed into a green light, shooting towards the distance.

...

Gu Yun Continent, in a secret room of a residence located in a remote corner of a certain city.

A Confucian-robed middle-aged man who looked like a schoolteacher was sitting cross-legged in front of a completely crimson pill furnace, focusing intently, pinching his fingers to control the fire, seemingly refining pills.

The pill furnace suddenly trembled, and a somewhat muffled explosion sounded inside, followed by a burnt smell that permeated the area.

The Confucian-robed middle-aged man's expression darkened, and then he sighed.

Just at that moment, a green light suddenly shone on his body.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand and took out an object, a fox-like green mask, and put it on his head.

As the green light rose from it, it condensed into a huge light screen in front of him.

Then, after a flash of light in the center, a storage bag emerged.

"Oh, this mission was only posted a few years ago, and it's already completed so quickly!" The Confucian-robed man muttered to himself in surprise, and grabbed the storage bag in his hand with a single hand towards the void in front of him, and waved his sleeve with the other hand.

A huge cold pork corpse immediately appeared before his eyes.

"This method is truly clean and efficient, even I probably couldn't have killed this beast while keeping its corpse so intact... Jiao Fifteen, I haven't heard of this person before, it seems he's a formidable character," the Confucian-robed man said with a click of his tongue.

...

At the same time.

In the Red Glow Peak cave dwelling, Han Li, wearing the Faceless Alliance mask, saw a green light screen flash before him, and a storage bag emerged.

He took the storage bag and waved his hand with an incantation.

With a "whirr" sound on the ground, a pile of top-grade spirit stones appeared out of thin air.

Han Li lightly counted the amount, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. After waving his hand to put the spirit stones away again, he continued to search for missions.

...

Somewhere in the Thunderstorm Sea.

The sky was filled with dense black clouds, and thick lightning bolts darted through the clouds, occasionally striking down into the ocean.

Near a black island deep in the ocean, several massive light clusters intersected, emitting earth-shattering roars that drowned out the sound of the nearby thunderstorms.

From time to time, attacks flew out in all directions, turning the sea and sky upside down.

One side of the battle was five True Immortal cultivators wearing masks, all of whom were wearing Faceless Alliance masks. Two of them wore green masks, and the other three wore blue masks.

The other side was a group of thunderbolt bats, numbering nearly a hundred. Each one was tens of zhang long, surrounded by purple lightning. The aura emitted by any single one was no weaker than a Grand Ascension cultivator. They spat out thick lightning bolts, battling with the five Faceless Alliance cultivators.

Although the thunderbolt bats were numerous, the five Faceless Alliance cultivators were also formidable, wielding powerful magical treasures. Instead, they had the upper hand, and thunderbolt bats were constantly being shot down.

With a flash of black light, a black spear pierced into the body of a thunderbolt bat. Silver electric arcs danced on the spear, surging into the thunderbolt bat's body along the wound.

With a "bang"!

The thunderbolt bat's body exploded, and a crystal-clear purple orb emerged.

A green-robed man arrived like lightning, grabbed it with a wave of his hand, and put it away.

This man wore a green bull-head mask with the small words "Jiao Fifteen" written on it.

He didn't stop moving, and after a slight shake, he plunged back into the nearby thunderbolt bat swarm, his arm shaking.

The black spear emitted a bright thunderous light, and thrust out angrily, instantly piercing another thunderbolt bat's body.

Squeak squeak squeak!

The nearby thunderbolt bats were furious, emitting angry roars.

Thick purple lightning bolts shot down from all directions, striking the green-robed man relentlessly, leaving him no place to dodge.

The man's expression didn't change. He waved his hand and collected the thunder crystal from the thunderbolt bat's body. Silver lightning flared on his body, forming a silver shield that withstood the surrounding lightning strikes.

The silver shield trembled constantly, but it was unknown what kind of divine power it was, as it showed no signs of shattering.

The green-robed man swayed and rushed towards the next thunderbolt bat, the black spear in his hand transforming into countless spear shadows.

He was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, and within a few breaths, he had killed four or five more thunderbolt bats.

The other four people were amazed at the green-robed man's bravery.

The single attacks of these thunderbolt bats weren't strong to them, and even being hit by four or five attacks at the same time wasn't a big deal, but it was different if there were more. After all, the power of these thunderbolts shouldn't be underestimated once they gathered together.

However, the green-robed man's fearless rush disrupted the thunderbolt bat swarm.

The four people quickly took action, taking the opportunity to hunt down some isolated thunderbolt bats.

Half an hour later, a black spear shadow flashed and pierced the last thunderbolt bat.

With a "bang," the thunderbolt bat's body exploded, revealing a purple orb, which the green-robed man collected.

At this point, the five had killed nearly a hundred thunderbolt bats.

However, almost half of the thunderbolt bats were killed by this green-robed man.

The green-robed man breathed a sigh of relief, didn't look at the others, a flash of silver thunder on his body, and shot away towards the distance.

The other four looked at each other and left without a word.

A silver electric light flashed somewhere in the Thunderstorm Sea, and the figure of the green-robed man emerged, the green light on his face mask flared, condensing into a green light screen.

This person waved his hand and cast a magic formula, and a green light shot out from the light screen, condensing into a blurred phantom.

"Forty-seven thunderbolt bat crystal orbs." Han Li waved his hand, and a small pile of purple thunder orbs emerged.

"Good, according to the mission rules, that's forty-seven Immortal Essence Stones." The blurred phantom nodded.

A trace of joy appeared in Han Li's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a small pile of thunderbolt bat crystal orbs flew into the magic formation in the center of the light screen and disappeared with a flash.

A moment later, a flash of light appeared in the magic formation, and a small pile of Immortal Essence Stones emerged.

Han Li waved his hand and put away the Immortal Essence Stones, and once again looked at the mission on the green light screen.

...

Three years later, Red Glow Peak.

A green light shot from a distance, and after a few breaths, it quietly landed on the top of the peak. The green light converged and revealed Han Li's figure, his face slightly pale.

Without alarming anyone, he went directly into the cave dwelling.

Sitting cross-legged in the secret room, he took out the Faceless Alliance mask, and the green light screen emerged.

Han Li then took out three black tokens, each engraved with a black ghost pattern.

This was the harvest from his Faceless Alliance mission this time.

He waved his hand and cast a magic formula, and then sent out the three tokens.

A moment later, thirty-odd Immortal Essence Stones were sent over.

After Han Li swept over them with his divine sense, he put away the Immortal Essence Stones, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The mission this time was to kill a group of heretical cultivators entrenched in the borderlands of Gu Yun Continent. This group was good at using formations and secret techniques, making them quite difficult to deal with. Therefore, six people from the alliance joined forces, mostly high-level members with green masks.

During the mission, he observed and accidentally discovered a situation.

Most of these people were from the Candle Dragon Dao, especially the team leader for this mission, who had used a set of superb flying sword techniques to easily kill a True Immortal middle-stage heretical cultivator leader.

Han Li vaguely felt a sense of familiarity with this team leader, especially the other party's flying sword techniques, which reminded him of the Vice Dao Lord Xiong Shan.

Although the other party concealed his aura with the Faceless Alliance mask, he still had this premonition.

But Han Li only pondered for a moment before dismissing the thought and didn't think about it further.

Whether that person was Xiong Shan or not, it had nothing to do with him.
