"Humph, as the saying goes, reincarnation!
You seized my sword essence and destroyed my sword array. Let's see what happens today!
All of this is still mine after all, haha, haha … "Xiong Shan's eyes widened, and he suddenly burst into laughter. His voice was like rolling thunder.
Back then, he had painstakingly worked for many years and did not hesitate to offend many forces to gather thousands of spiritual swords. But, everything was in vain.
Because of this, he was laughed at by his fellow disciples in the Candle Dragon Path countless times!
Today, he finally got his revenge. How could he not laugh heartily?
"Fellow Xiong Shan, if you didn't want to refine my natal flying sword, why would I seize your sword essence?
You and I are both from the Candle Dragon Path, and we also work together in the Anicca Alliance. We have many interactions in the past. Why don't we bury the hatchet and let me take away the natal flying sword? "Han Li stood up straight and said.
His voice was not loud, but it penetrated layers of barriers like a sharp sword and entered Xiong Shan's ears.
"What a joke!
I can only blame myself for being blind in the past. I couldn't see your true face and was always played by you like a fool.
Although I noticed it later, the time was not ripe, so I let you continue to be free.
Today, since you have delivered yourself to me, I will naturally refine you together with your natal flying sword into my supreme immortal sword, "Xiong Shan snorted coldly and said.
"Since you don't want to settle this matter peacefully, then don't blame Han for being ruthless," Han Li said coldly with a cold face.
"You still dare to talk nonsense when you are about to die. You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Although Xiong Shan said so, he did not know why his heart trembled after hearing Han Li's words.
Han Li suddenly let out a roar. The muscles on his body quickly bulged, and his body instantly grew to a hundred meters tall. Thick golden hair grew on the surface of his body, and he turned into a giant golden ape.
He stomped his feet on the ground, and his huge body rose from the ground under the heavy pressure of the heavy sword qi and rushed into the sky.
Flying close to the area where the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were, the golden-furred giant ape suddenly raised one of its thick arms, which were covered with golden scales, and smashed it toward the Sword Dragon.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out!
The entire body of the "sword dragon" suddenly bent outward and let out a chaotic and sharp cry.
In an instant, more than a thousand flying swords of various colors collided with each other and fell out of the range of the sword formation. The seventy-two Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were also mixed in.
With a flash of light, the giant golden ape reverted to his human form. A pair of translucent wings suddenly grew on his back, and with a fierce flap, he changed direction in midair and went straight for his flying sword.
However, before he could get close to the flying swords, an invisible force swept across the entire sword formation. It gathered all the flying swords that he had just shot out and pulled them back into the sword formation.
"This time, don't even think about it!" Xiong Shan looked down at the scene below and said coldly.
With that, he made a series of hand seals in front of him and pointed at the Ten Thousand Swords Metal Coupon that was floating in the air.
There was a light "click" sound.
A drop of golden essence blood flew out of Xiong Shan's fingertip and landed on the iron coupon.
The golden patterns on the surface of the iron coupon trembled, and a faint red mist rose from it and flew into the golden light curtain in the sky.
"Boom!" A loud sound was heard!
The golden light curtain in the sky shook violently and collapsed. All the illusory shadows that appeared on it did not disappear. Instead, they fell down like a golden rain and flew into the sword formation.
As each of the projections flew in, a flying sword separated from the sword dragon and flew toward Han Li in the hands of the golden projection.
Han Li was about to use another method to forcibly seize the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords from the sword dragon, but he only felt a shadow covering the sky. The thunderstorm wings on his back flapped fiercely, and his whole body was suppressed by the sword qi in the sky.
"Whoosh!"
A huge iron sword that was as wide as a door slashed down close to the clothes in front of him, causing the airflow to rush down and make a whistling sound.
Han Li's eyes narrowed. He raised his hand and punched the wide sword.
A huge green fist shadow suddenly exploded on the sword, and the huge sword trembled violently like a broken door being hit by a rainstorm.
The golden giant holding the sword was shaken by this huge force. Its figure also trembled along with the sword and dissipated.
However, as soon as the sword stopped, another sword came!
Before Han Li could withdraw his fist, another warrior holding a long single-edged sword rushed toward him.
Behind the warrior, amidst the golden shadows that filled the sky, there was a graceful woman, a golden-armored strongman, a long-bearded old man, a young child … The densely packed golden figures overlapped each other, each holding a flying sword in their hands, surging towards him like a tidal wave.
Han Li's expression did not change. He stepped out of the void, and a golden light suddenly appeared behind him.
A golden wheel emerged. As it slowly rotated, it rippled with layers of golden ripples.
But the shadows and flying swords that entered the rippling range of the Mantra Treasure Wheel instantly slowed down and almost fell into a state of stagnation.
So, a surprising scene appeared!
In the sky, Han Li walked freely among the golden shadows and flying swords, as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
The flying swords that were originally aimed at him had now become his stepping stones. He stepped on them one step at a time as he walked towards the floating altar high up in the sky.
At this moment, he already knew that if he did not defeat Xiong Shan, Xiong Shan would continue to use the power of the sword formation to prevent him from retrieving the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword. As time dragged on, his natal flying sword could not escape the fate of being refined into molten iron.
On the altar, Xiong Shan saw this scene and was shocked. He murmured, "This is the law of time … You, you have actually cultivated the Mantra Reincarnation Scripture to such a level?"
Han Li ignored him. He just walked up while pushing away the flying swords that obstructed his advance. Soon, he was less than 300 meters away from the altar.
Xiong Shan suppressed the emotions in his heart, clenched his teeth, and walked back to the center of the altar. His hands moved quickly, and he launched a series of symbols towards the hollow area in the center.
Then, he opened his five fingers, and a light flashed in his palm. Five longan-sized golden beads fell from the hollow area at the same time and fell into the crimson sea of fire.
Only a "whoosh" sound was heard.
In the blazing sea of fire, there seemed to be a storm rolling up. The flames began to sway violently and spread to the surroundings.
Han Li felt something in his heart and looked into the flames. He saw five balls of golden light shining in it, attracting the surrounding crimson flames to condense and transform into five huge ferocious dragon heads, probing towards him.
As soon as the dragon head took shape, two thin bursts of flames erupted from its nostrils, and golden light flashed from its eyes as it cast its gaze toward Han Li, making it appear as if it were a living creature that possessed an extremely high level of intelligence.
In the next instant, an indistinct bestial roar rang out from within the sea of flames. Five flaming dragons that were as thick as water tanks shot forth, twisting and turning in mid-air before pouncing toward Han Li with their claws spread wide.
The surrounding air instantly froze as surging waves of heat charged over, and it burned the entire expanse of space to the point it was slightly deformed. Even the golden ripples emitted by the Wheel of Truth had warped in space, and the area it affected had shrunk greatly.
As the fire dragon approached, Han Li raised his palm and fiercely waved it in front of him.
A black light burst out, and the Heavy Water True Wheel flew out from it. It turned into the size of a millstone and floated in front of Han Li. It spun violently and made a whistling sound.
The water dao pattern on it shone brightly, and a stream of black heavy water gushed out from it. It turned into a huge heavy water vortex in the sky and greeted the five Red Flame Fire Dragons.
The five Red Flame Fire Dragons opened their huge mouths, and the magma inside was tumbling. Black smoke billowed out, as if there was a volcano that was about to erupt.
Immediately afterward, there were five muffled thunder-like sounds. The Red Flame Fire Dragons' mouths were blazing with fire. Countless magma firestones gushed out like a meteor shower, smashing down on the Heavy Water True Wheel.
Rumble!
A series of earth-shaking sounds came, and the whole sky was almost illuminated by the fire.
The sky full of fire smashed into the Heavy Water Vortex, stirring up a black wave nearly a hundred feet high. Although it failed to smash through, it shook the Heavy Water True Wheel below.
Han Li raised his arms high, and his body was trembling. Obviously, he couldn't bear this majestic force.
"Fire Spirit Pearl?
You're really willing to spend your capital … "Han Li whispered to himself.
After that, his eyes suddenly focused, and his hands changed the gesture. Instead of retreating, he moved forward and slapped on the Heavy Water True Wheel with his palm.
"Buzz …"
The Heavy Water True Wheel trembled, and the black waves that gushed out from it suddenly surged and pounced towards the Red Flame Fire Dragons.
The five Red Flame Fire Dragons also swooped down. One black and one red, one water and one fire. Under the violent collision, they blended together, and bursts of white mist rose.
"Black Water Covering the Sky!" At this moment, Han Li suddenly shouted.
In the sky above the suspended altar, there was a loud roar that shook the heaven and earth!
A snow-white lightning flashed, and a black hole that crossed the sky was immediately torn open. A huge amount of heavy water surged out from it, turning into a huge black waterfall hanging in the sky.
Xiong Shan looked up at the sky and looked at the flood. His eyes were wide open, and he was so angry that his eyeballs almost popped out.
He didn't dare to believe that this was a method that a Perfected Immortal could use.
However, things had already come to this point. Even if he wanted to stop and make peace, it was too late.
He gritted his teeth and waved his hands in the void. Rays of magic light flew out and landed on the Ten Thousand Swords Iron Ticket.
The iron ticket flashed with golden light, and golden characters flew out from it and landed on the eight Coiling Dragon Golden Pillars around the big array.
The golden pillar lit up, and the eight golden dragons raised their heads slightly. Two beams of crimson light shot out from their eyes at the same time, converging directly above the altar to form a crimson light screen with dragon patterns all over it, enveloping the entire light screen.
