At the same time, tens of thousands of kilometers away in the sky, a huge black crane opened its beak and let out a sharp cry. Ripples that could be seen with the naked eye were released from its beak, and they surged toward a similarly huge silver firebird that was over 10,000 feet away.
Then, it turned its head and looked in the direction of the explosion of the crimson sun with lingering fear in its heart.
It was fortunate that it had been chased away by the silver firebird. Otherwise, if it had been affected by the explosion of the crimson sun, it would have most likely suffered the consequences.
In the face of the surging black flames, the silver firebird suddenly flapped its wings.
A loud explosion rang out!
Balls of silver light flew out from his wings and exploded one after another, turning into surging silver flames. In an instant, the black flames that were pouncing on him were stirred up and dispersed.
A hint of fear flashed in the depths of the black crane's eyes.
However, it said in a mocking tone, "Little guy, your master is already dead!"
The silver firebird was stunned for a moment when it heard this. Then, it let out a sharp cry, and the silver flames around its body surged. It turned into a huge fireball as it flew out. Wherever it passed, the ferocious black flames were unable to stop it in the slightest and were all absorbed into it.
The black crane had no intention of continuing to tangle with the silver firebird. Taking advantage of the fact that the firebird was obstructed by the black flames, it spread its wings and flew down.
However, halfway through its flight, it suddenly changed direction and flew in another direction.
In the air tens of thousands of feet away, a cloud of black smoke slowly condensed and took shape. The heavy luan's figure staggered out of it, and it just so happened to be caught by the descending black crane.
"Go!
Get out of here… "As soon as the heavy luan landed on the black crane's back, it immediately yelled anxiously.
The black crane didn't dare to hesitate. It immediately flapped its wings and abruptly rose higher into the air, wanting to fly into the distance.
However, at this moment, countless golden arcs of lightning appeared out of thin air over 10,000 feet in front of it. Then, a golden lightning formation that was several tens of feet in size appeared.
After a thunderclap, Han Li's figure flashed out. He held a green longsword in his hand that was surrounded by golden arcs of lightning, and he slashed it down toward the heavy luan.
"Han Li!" the heavy luan roared as it raised its head.
A trace of despair flashed in his eyes as he looked at the figure that appeared out of thin air. He didn't hesitate to detonate his Natal Magic Treasure, but he was actually unable to injure the other party at all.
He grabbed at his chest with one hand, and a blood-red round crystal shield immediately flew out with a bright light, blocking in front of him.
At the same time, all the remaining Baleful Blood Qi on his body surged out, forming a blood-red armor on the surface of his body.
Before the spirit patterns on the armor were completely condensed, the cyan longsword wrapped in golden lightning had already slashed down.
"Boom …"
A sky-shaking rumble resounded. Dozens of golden lightning bolts that were more than a thousand feet long burst out from the blood-red crystal shield, dancing wildly in the air like dozens of lightning whips.
"Sizzle …"
The sound of electric arcs continued to ring out, and the air began to fill with the pungent smell of burning.
Then, a cracking sound was heard.
The blood-red crystal shield in front of the heavy luan shattered, and the longsword in Han Li's hand slashed down.
A streak of azure light suddenly lit up in front of Zhong Luan's forehead. It was his bronze forehead protector, which had blocked Han Li's sword.
"Break!" Han Li roared.
The golden scales on his arms turned up, and he held the sword hilt tightly and pressed down with all his might. The rune on the cyan longsword shone brightly, and golden arcs of lightning surged out. The sword edge slashed down.
"No!"
The heavy luan let out an unwilling roar, and the bronze forehead protector broke with a crack.
Han Li's longsword was no longer hindered, and it directly cut the head into two halves. The black crane under him seemed to have suffered a huge blow and fell toward the sea.
When it approached the sea, it immediately flapped its wings, and its figure suddenly rose, flying away into the distance.
Without Han Li's command, the Essence Flame Firebird, which had already swallowed the black flames, had already spread its wings and chased after it.
Han Li grabbed the collar of the heavy luan's corpse to prevent it from falling into the sea. He scanned it with his Divine Sense and frowned slightly.
At this moment, the aftermath of the previous explosion of the blood-red blazing sun also spread over. Although the power had been reduced by more than a thousand times, it still turned into a gust of strong wind that whistled past, making him feel some lingering fear in his heart.
In fact, he also discovered the clues at the moment of the explosion of the blood-red saber. At that time, it was too late to use any defensive means. At the critical moment, he had to summon the time power of the Treasure Wheel of Truth again, causing a temporary delay in the impact of the explosion of the blood-red blazing sun.
He seized this fleeting opportunity to reverse the Treasure Wheel and escape. According to the location probed by his Divine Sense, he used the Divine Thunder of the Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword and cast the Thunder Array Escape Technique to chase after it.
At that moment, a streak of black light suddenly lit up from the right sleeve of the imperial chariot's corpse. A pitch-black Nascent Soul figure draped in a transparent cloak emerged from the sleeve. Its appearance was identical to the imperial chariot's, and black light flashed from its body before it disappeared in an instant.
However, almost instantly after, a burst of sound suddenly sounded.
In the void thousands of meters away, there was a violent fluctuation, and the small Yuanying Stage figure stumbled out. He looked back in horror, and was surprised to find that Han Li was looking at him expressionlessly. His eyebrows split open, revealing a dark eyeball.
"Law Eye of Destruction …" The heavy luan's Yuanying Stage figure was disheartened.
Before the light on his body lit up again, Han Li had already waved his sword and slashed down.
A green sword light swept past, and under the violent sword qi, it immediately swept up the Yuanying Stage figure and the transparent cloak that covered it, tearing them into pieces.
Seeing that the black light completely disappeared, Han Li did not feel relieved. Instead, his eyes flashed with blue light, and he carefully explored the surrounding void.
After carefully exploring again, he confirmed that there was no trace of the heavy luan's aura in the surrounding void. Only then did he retract the Bright Light Spirit Eyes, put away the storage bracelet and other things on the heavy luan, and chased after the black crane.
The Silver Flame Firebird had already stopped it, and it turned into a huge silver ring of fire, surrounding it in the center.
No matter how the black crane rushed left and right, it could not escape, and it could not stop neighing.
In any case, it could not imagine that its master would be defeated by this ordinary-looking Young Man in front of it. However, the iron-clad fact was now in front of it, and it could not help but believe it.
"Senior, please spare my life. I am a wild bird, and I have a natural understanding of the law of fire. If senior is willing to spare my life, I am willing to serve you as my master!
By the way, I also know a lot of secrets of the heavy luan! "Seeing Han Li approaching, the black crane shouted hurriedly.
Han Li seemed to have not heard what the black crane said. He made a sword gesture with one hand, and the green long sword in his hand immediately drew an arc in the air, and the tip of the sword fell straight down.
Chi la!
A huge sword shadow of more than a thousand meters reflected from the sword, and it pierced the head of the black crane.
The black crane let out a shrill crane cry, and it plunged into the sea.
Han Li followed closely behind and flew down. His palm glowed with green light, and he took out the Yuanying Stage figure.
A miniature shadow of a small black crane was caught in Han Li's hand. It flapped its wings and struggled violently, and its eyes were filled with fear.
The Essence Flame Bird flew down and turned into a small child of silver flames that landed on Han Li's shoulder. It stared at the shadow of the black crane, and there was obvious desire in its eyes.
"What's the hurry?" Han Li glanced at the small person of silver flames and said with a smile.
With that, he clasped the shadow with his five fingers and closed his eyes. His palm lit up, and it enveloped the shadow.
After a while, Han Li slowly opened his eyes, and his emotions became somewhat complicated.
There was not much information about Fang Pan in the memories of the black crane's consciousness.
However, from this small amount of information, it could be seen that what the heavy luan had said to him earlier was not a lie. He really did not know who had ordered Fang Pan to deal with him.
In Hei He's memories, Han Li could see the yellow palace that was situated in the middle of the vast desert, as well as the black chains that covered the entire floor of the palace. He almost reflexively thought of the "Essence Isolation Chains".
In the center of the hall, he saw the pitch-black chair and the figure in a snow-white cloak. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not see the person's face clearly.
It seemed that in the depths of the black crane's memories, it was extremely afraid of this person, so much so that it never dared to look at him directly.
After a moment of silence, Han Li threw the black crane's Yuanying to the silver-flame child, and he flew onto the black crane's back. He put away the storage bracelet and other items that the heavy luan had left behind.
The silver-flame child happily received the black crane's Yuanying, and it opened its mouth and swallowed it whole.
There were bursts of light on its round belly, and there seemed to be a raging flame rising inside.
After Han Li cut open the Demon Core in the black crane's body and took it out, he turned back to look at the Refined Flame Firebird, and realized that after it swallowed the black crane's Yuanying, its body was swaying a little, as though it was drunk.
However, he was connected to the firebird's Divine Soul, and after realizing that it was fine, he was relieved.
He walked forward and picked it up. With a flash of light in his hand, he kept it back into his body.
After doing all that, Han Li took out an elixir and swallowed it. He turned back to look in the direction of the Sacred Puppet Sect, and his mind started spinning.
Based on what he had seen previously, the Sacred Puppet Sect was probably done for. If he were to return now, it would be futile, and he would be in danger instead.
After all, he was hired by the Sacred Puppet Sect as a member of the Anicca Alliance, and he was only there to help defend against the enemy. He would definitely not risk his life for the Sacred Puppet Sect.
Moreover, Zhong Luan had snuck into the Sacred Puppet Sect's forbidden area previously, and although his motive was unknown, he was killed by him. If he were to return now, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
As for the reward for this mission, he did not need it. After all, he had killed a few Perfected Immortals, and the treasures alone were enough to make up for it, not to mention the treasures in the storage magical equipment.
