On the other side, the ugly woman in the black dress hurriedly made a hand sign in the face of the blue water man.
"Puchi!"
The black mace in her hand shone brightly, and a series of winding bloody lines appeared on the surface of the mace. A bloody flame rolled up from the mace.
The woman let out a low shout and waved her mace at the blue water man.
Suddenly, there was a series of explosions in the air. Then, a mountain-like huge mace shadow appeared again. Each mace shadow was entwined with a bloody flame.
Circles of distorted ripples visible to the naked eye appeared in the air as if it was boiling.
The two blue water figures collided with the bloody flame and the mace shadow almost at the same time. However, the blue light on the surface of their bodies flashed, and they directly passed through. The seemingly powerful bloody flame mace shadow couldn't affect them at all.
However, if one looked closely, they would find that the two blue water men were smaller than before. But then, they suddenly rushed in front of the bearded man and the ugly woman in the black dress.
The bearded man and the ugly woman were shocked. They were about to do something, but a dazzling blue light burst out from the two water men.
"Peng!" "Peng!"
The two of them exploded soundlessly, turning into a vast expanse of blue glacial currents. In an instant, the glacial currents came crashing down toward the burly man and his companion in an overwhelming manner.
A crisp sound was heard!
A layer of blue crystal ice appeared on the bodies of the two people, and it quickly spread. In the blink of an eye, it turned into two pieces of blue crystal ice that were dozens of feet high, and froze them inside.
This blue crystal ice was obviously unusual. The two people were frozen inside, and they couldn't move at all. Their faces still maintained a frightened expression. But almost in the next moment, the surface of the two people's bodies lit up. The crystal ice made a cracking sound, and cracks began to appear on the surface like a spider web.
At this time, Lu Kun's face was slightly pale. The blue light on the surface of his body was much dimmer than before. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy to cast this spell.
Seeing that the bearded man and the ugly woman were about to break out of the ice, a figure flashed, and Han Li appeared behind them like a ghost. A layer of golden scales appeared on his fists, and he punched out like a dragon coming out of its cave. With two whooshing sounds, his fists fell on the bodies of the two people.
Boom boom!
The blue crystal ice shattered, and the bodies of the sturdy man and the ugly woman in the black dress were also split into pieces.
Two Nascent Souls flew out of the shattered crystal ice. Their bodies were covered with a faint layer of bloody light. As their figures blurred, they appeared in front of the palace gate on the island below as if teleporting. The green silk that filled the surroundings couldn't affect their movements at all.
Han Li wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Crimson light flashed from the bodies of the two Nascent Souls, and they were about to fly into the palace.
However, right at this moment, the crimson cloud that had enshrouded the palace suddenly surged violently, following which a pair of massive crimson hands extended from within. The hands spread their fingers apart, and crimson light swirled within the palms, immobilizing the two Nascent Souls.
"Saint Lord, spare my life!"
The faces of the two Nascent Souls immediately turned pale and they began to beg bitterly.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort suddenly came from the palace in the center of the island. It was dry and unpleasant, like two pieces of iron rubbing against each other.
When Han Li and the other two heard the sound, their expressions changed slightly. Jiao Ba, who was still on the island, had a hint of surprise in his eyes. He immediately stopped making gestures and flew to the sky with his incarnation, landing beside Han Li and Jiao Ba.
The azure threads in the air dissipated, but the crimson skeletons and snake women didn't pursue him. Instead, their bodies seemed to have melted, transforming into streaks of viscous crimson light that fused into the crimson clouds around the palace from all directions.
Immediately afterward, a tall figure slowly walked out of the palace. His whole body was covered by a layer of bloody light, and only his facial features could be seen vaguely.
Behind this person, there were also two large bloody flames floating, making a crackling sound.
The bloody flames were a bit strange. The outermost layer was bloody red, but the middle was purple and white.
In the purple and white flames, two faces appeared faintly. It was the short man in purple robe and Chou Wu from before.
"Saint Lord, our bodies were destroyed because of carelessness. As long as we find a suitable body, we can continue to be loyal to the Saint Lord!"
"Saint Lord, please be merciful!"
When the large man and the ugly woman saw the bloody figure appear, they shouted again.
"You've worked hard all these years. I'll take care of the rest myself."
After Gongshu Hong said this, he raised his hand and the two bloody hands closed. Suddenly, two screams were heard, and two strange bloody flames flew out of the hands. They were blood-red on the outside, but in the center of the flames, one was green and one was black.
The twisted face of the muscular man could be vaguely seen in the green flames, and the ugly woman in the black dress appeared in the black flames, looking extremely evil.
The two bloody flames flashed and landed in front of Gongshu Hong.
The purple, white, green, and black bloody flames floated around him and slowly rotated. It looked very strange.
In mid-air, Han Li and the others couldn't help but glance at one another, and all of them could see a hint of astonishment in each other's eyes.
Gongshu Hong raised his head to look at the three people in the sky and slowly said, "I'm very satisfied with the four offerings from before. With the addition of you, my Origin Returning Blood Flame will be able to take another step forward. When that time comes, I won't be trapped on this Red Moon Island."
As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal. The purple, white, green, and black bloody flames around him disappeared into the bloody light on the surface of his body. His aura continued to rise.
Han Li's body flashed with a layer of crystal light as he said, "This Gongshu Hong's strength is likely to break through to the late stage soon. If that's the case, it'll be troublesome."
"Now that things have come to this, we can only fight with our backs against the wall."
As Lu Kun spoke, he flipped his hand and a purple jade bottle appeared in his hand. He poured out a purple pill the size of a thumb and swallowed it without hesitation.
At the same time, the Earth Devi beside him raised its hand and a large amount of water light flew out. It turned into a water light barrier that covered Lu Kun's body.
Jiao Ba didn't stay idle either. He took out several shining treasures to protect his body.
"Okay, it's your turn."
The bloody light on Gongshu Hong's body gradually calmed down. He let out a long breath and slowly raised his arms. Two dazzling bloody lights appeared in his palms.
However, just as he was about to attack, something strange happened!
However, the void behind him fluctuated, and a palm shrouded in flames appeared out of thin air, piercing into his body from behind, and protruding from his chest with a "poof" sound.
In the air, Han Li and the other two were happy when they saw this.
From the aura that emerged from this palm, it was Jiao San who had disappeared for a long time.
The bloody light on Gongshu Hong's body trembled and exploded with a bang. It turned into seven or eight bloody lights that shot out.
A strange scene appeared!
The bloody lights gathered in the void a hundred feet away and condensed into a human shape again. However, the light on the surface of the body was a bit dimmer.
The flaming palm flashed and Jiao San's body appeared. At this moment, his whole body was wrapped in orange flames.
With a sway of his figure, he turned into a brilliant fiery light and flew toward Gongshu Hong.
Rumble!
The flames around Jiao San's body suddenly flourished and a thick flame appeared. In a flash, it turned into a bright fiery dragon. It opened its mouth and swallowed the bloody figure.
A tyrannical fluctuation of Laws spread out from the fiery flood dragon, and wherever it passed, the faint blood mist in the surroundings would evaporate and disappear.
"Hmph, the law of fire!" The bloody figure snorted and put his two palms together in front of him.
With a whoosh, a flaming python came out of the bloody light and went toward the fiery dragon.
There was a loud bang!
The two of them tumbled and bit each other, exploding and turning into balls of dazzling flames.
Jiao San's body blurred and appeared above Gongshu Hong's head. A large crimson sword appeared in his hand. There was a dragon-shaped pattern engraved on the surface and it emitted a terrifying spiritual pressure. It was a Mysterious Heavenly Treasure.
Jiao San's arm trembled and the crimson sword suddenly slashed down.
More than a dozen flaming sword lights flew out and instantly gathered in one spot. They turned into a huge flaming sword light that was hundreds of feet long and slashed toward Gongshu Hong's head.
Gongshu Hong's hands flashed with crimson light and two crimson flying claws appeared out of thin air.
With a "chi chi" sound, ten crescent-shaped crimson claw lights flew out and collided with the huge sword light, creating an earth-shattering sound.
The sword light and the claw lights shattered at the same time!
Jiao San, who had been missing for a long time, appeared and began fighting with Gongshu Hong.
For a moment, all kinds of lights intertwined and collided with each other, creating a series of loud explosions. The nearby space shook violently and the entire underground cave shook.
Lu Kun looked at the sky and said with a bitter smile, "I'm afraid that Jiao San planned to use us as bait to lure Gongshu Hong out from the beginning."
"The Anicca Alliance has always been this realistic. If you want to get what others can't get, you must be prepared to sacrifice yourself at any time." Jiao Ba's voice was also a little sad.
"Fellow Daoists, there is no point in saying this now. We can only help Jiao San finish off Gongshu Hong as soon as possible. Only then will we have a chance of survival." Han Li looked at the two of them and said.
Lu Kun and Jiao Ba heard this and nodded silently.
After the three of them decided on a plan, they rushed toward Jiao San and Gongshu Hong together with the two Earthly God clones.
"Hmph, mere ants dare to be so rash!" Gongshu Hong did not even look at them. He just waved his hand at them.
"Whoosh …"
A powerful gust of foul wind swept toward them, and a vast expanse of crimson mist suddenly surged forth from the crimson clouds above the palace, instantly transforming the entire space above into a vast expanse of crimson mist that inundated Han Li's trio, as well as the two earthly god clones.
Han Li felt the stench of blood around him and felt dizzy. However, a cool feeling flashed in his head and he immediately regained his consciousness.
Blue light flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to retreat from the blood mist, he heard a scream from not far away.
He quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Kun's Earthly God clones fiercely falling to the ground. There was a shadow chasing after it.
The shadow was not Lu Kun, but a naked, blood-colored monster.
