Han Li was able to block the crystalline Sword Qi unscathed, but the others were having a hard time.
The ball-shaped barrier of light around the Lan siblings made a series of "chi la" sounds as cracks appeared on it.
The light barrier flashed with blue light and was on the verge of collapsing. Blood could be seen within it.
Their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly made hand seals. Blue light flashed wildly from their bodies, and a series of blue crystalline threads flew out, disappearing into the blue barrier.
The barrier immediately glowed with a brilliant watery light, and eight blue dragon projections appeared, rapidly flying around the spherical barrier while emitting bursts of dragon roars.
The blue light barrier stabilized and resisted the Sword Qi attack. At the same time, it retreated and flew out of the plaza.
Lan Yuanzi's arm was severed at the elbow and Lan Yan's shoulder had a deep sword wound. Her face was full of panic.
The power of the crystalline Sword Qi was far beyond their expectations. Fortunately, they had taken out their trump card, the Eight Dragon Water Pearl. Otherwise, they would have been killed on the spot.
The white light barrier in front of Hu San and Jiao San was in the same situation. The crystalline Sword Qi cut through it and it looked like it was about to shatter.
At this critical moment, Jiao San pressed his hands on the light barrier. Two dark red lights burst out from his palms and formed a dark red light barrier. The power of reincarnation laws surged within it.
Although the dark red light barrier didn't look thick, it was extremely tough. It firmly resisted the Sword Qi attack.
However, the two did not retreat. They stared in the direction of the golden altar.
On the other side, the golden light formation around Lei Yuce and the other two was struck by the sword Qi. Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong chanted incantations at the same time. Their hands danced in the air like wheels, casting various spells into the golden light formation.
A 300m tall golden sword image instantly appeared within the golden formation, and it buzzed and trembled without end. As soon as the crystalline sword qi that flew over entered the golden formation, they immediately lay dormant obediently, and they revolved around the golden sword image before fusing into it like rivers returning to the sea.
"Huh? Where's Xiong Shan?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and looked around.
Xiong Shan was the closest to the golden sword. He couldn't have been killed, right?
However, the next scene made Han Li slightly stunned.
At this moment, Xiong Shan's body was wrapped in a golden light. His entire body turned into a golden mist, exuding a cloud-like sword intent.
Streaks of Sword Qi slashed at his body, but they immediately passed through, seemingly not causing any harm to him.
"What kind of secret technique is this?"
Han Li couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Then, he discovered that the sword Qi did cause some damage to the golden mist that Xiong Shan had transformed into.
With every slash of the sword energy, the golden mist would subside a little.
However, to everyone's surprise, not only did Xiong Shan not retreat, but he continued to pounce toward the ancient golden sword. In the blink of an eye, he was only 100 feet away from the ancient golden sword.
The ball of golden flames beside the ancient sword seemed to have sensed something, and it abruptly swelled to a third of its original size before surging violently and emitting a hissing sound.
Streaks of golden flames shot out from the flames, fusing with the sword Qi from the ancient sword. The originally crystalline sword Qi was immediately covered in a faint layer of golden flames, turning into streaks of flaming sword Qi.
"Boom"!
The flaming sword Qi seemed to have eaten a big tonic, and it skyrocketed several times. Originally, it only enveloped a radius of 300 to 400 feet around the altar, but now, it had shrouded a radius of nearly 10,000 feet.
The golden mist that Xiong Shan had transformed into was suddenly enveloped by the flaming sword Qi. It tumbled violently and shrank rapidly. Bursts of screams came from it.
Hu San, Jiao San, and Lei Yuce were immediately submerged by the flaming sword Qi. Then, a burst of roars and exclamations came from it.
Han Li and the Lan siblings had already retreated to a safe place. At this moment, the sword Qi skyrocketed, and they were once again involved in it.
Streaks of fiery sword Qi struck the golden sword barrier around Han Li, and the golden sword barrier was instantly torn apart amid a string of resounding clangs. The 36 Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were sent flying like fallen leaves in a fierce gale.
The flaming sword Qi tore the golden sword array apart, and immediately slashed at his body.
Han Li's Real Polarity Film flashed wildly. Then, a hissing sound was heard. The Real Polarity Film was supposed to be able to resist the flaming sword Qi. But, a deep sword mark was left on it at this moment. In fact, more than half of it had been pierced through.
Shi Mu couldn't afford to hold back any longer. So, he quickly made an incantation gesture.
"Om" the Treasure Wheel of Truth emerged behind him. Then, countless dense ripples emerged, and shrouded the surrounding area of a thousand feet.
The flaming sword Qi was shrouded by the golden ripples, and suddenly became sluggish. But, it didn't stop, and continued to slash towards Han Li.
Han Li let out a cry of surprise. Then, he looked at the layer of golden flame on the sword Qi. He suddenly realized something, and changed the incantation gesture in his hands again.
A golden light flashed beside the Treasure Wheel of Truth, and the Broken Time Torch emerged. Then, a layer of flame-shaped golden light spread out from the Broken Time Torch, and formed a golden domain. It was the Broken Time Flame Mirror.
The number of time crystal threads on the Broken Time Torch increased dramatically. So, the power of the Broken Time Flame Mirror also soared. Everything in its path came to a complete standstill. In fact, it wasn't inferior to Qi Mo Zi's Broken Time Flame Mirror.
The flaming sword Qi was shrouded by the Broken Time Flame Mirror and finally stopped.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the side. It came from Lan Yuanzi and Qi Mo Zi.
Before the loud noise had faded, a blue sun several thousand feet in size emerged, and a vast expanse of blue light shot out in all directions.
Eight blue dragons shot out from the blazing sun, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at the flaming sword qi, blocking the overwhelming flaming sword qi for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, two figures shot out from the blue sun like lightning, and instantly landed in the distance. They were Lan Yuanzi and Qi Mo Zi.
Their faces were pale at this moment, and the wounds on their bodies had multiplied by several times. They were dripping with blood, and looked extremely miserable. They hurriedly took out pills to heal their wounds.
Han Li glanced at the two, and then immediately withdrew his gaze. He looked at the ancient sword and golden flame at the top of the altar, and there was a strange light in his eyes.
The ancient golden sword was an immortal artifact with the laws of metal, and the golden flame contained the laws of time. The two laws could be used together, and their power had increased by so much.
Before his Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were born with the Law of Thunder, they could be used together with the Law of Time. However, after the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were born with the Law of Thunder and completely transformed into an Immortal Artifact, they were incompatible with his Law of Time, and he could no longer use them together.
If his Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords could also be combined with the laws of time, their power would definitely be extraordinary.
With this thought, Han Li's heart thumped, and he waved his hand.
The Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords that had been sent flying earlier flew back and disappeared into his sleeve.
Then, his figure moved, and he flew toward the altar with the Wheel of Truth and the Broken Time Flame Mirror.
But at this moment, the black wind that gushed out of the crack on the altar suddenly swelled, and a large swath of black wind instantly swept through the entire cave. Even the dense flaming sword Qi around the altar could not stop it.
Mournful black winds roared, and the entire cave was instantly filled with sand and stones, and there was a loud rumble everywhere.
Han Li's expression changed slightly, and his flying figure suddenly stopped.
At this moment, the ancient sword and golden flames on the altar lit up again, and the golden formation on the altar also began to flash violently. The streaks of fiery sword Qi that were hurtling through the air abruptly withdrew, and they hurtled toward the rift instead of attacking Han Li and the others.
"It's too late to think of dealing with us now!" A sinister laugh came from the black crack, and then the crack shone with black light.
A thick black lightning burst out of the crack, and it pierced through the flaming sword Qi in front of it, creating a big hole, and fiercely struck the golden flame.
Just at the moment when the black lightning shot out, the dense flaming sword Qi next to it flashed with golden light, and a sharp sword essence erupted from it, creating a crack in the dense sword Qi that was like rain.
A thin golden mist shot out of the crack, flashed into the big hole created by the black lightning, and then immediately shot forward along the big hole. The timing was very precise.
However, all this happened in a split second, and the golden mist was not conspicuous, so no one noticed it.
Han Li and the others only saw a dazzling black lightning flash, penetrating the sword Qi in front of it, and striking the golden flame at the top of the altar.
Only a loud "Bang" sound was heard!
Black and golden light abruptly exploded, causing the nearby space to distort and buzz incessantly.
The golden flame trembled violently a few times, and then with a soft "Kacha" sound, the connection with the Tai Chi pattern below was broken, and it was sent flying.
The direction of the flame's flight was very coincidental, and it happened to shoot towards Han Li.
Han Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly made a gesture. Several time law crystal threads flew out from the broken time torch, entangled the golden flame, and then pulled it back.
To his surprise, the golden flame did not struggle or obstruct him at all. It was easily pulled to his side.
At this moment, the thin golden mist also flew to the top of the altar, and flashed into a human figure; it was Xiong Shan.
In the distance, Han Li saw this scene, and couldn't help but exclaim softly in surprise.
Xiong Shan's appearance was rather miserable and miserable. His body was densely covered with countless scars. His legs and left arm had already disappeared, leaving only a right arm that was covered in scars.
But strangely, these wounds on his body did not shed a drop of blood.
The golden ancient sword was still blooming dazzling sword Qi at this moment. Xiong Shan's body was instantly pierced with countless holes, and his body almost collapsed.
But he didn't blink, as if he didn't see the miserable condition of his body. He just looked at the golden ancient sword with enthusiasm. He stretched out his remaining right arm, grabbed the hilt of the ancient sword, and then pulled it up.
Han Li couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene.
The power of the black lightning just now was so strong, but it barely hit the golden flame from the top of the altar. Xiong Shan looked terrible at this moment, and it was unlikely for him to pull out the golden ancient sword.
Then, a scene beyond Han Li and everyone's expectations appeared!
