Chapter 21 Crimes
"Mu Chunfeng, prepare to die!"
Wang Chan roared, her hands blazing with spiritual light, her body surging with crimson spiritual power. Countless chilling and piercing evil energies condensed into several Yin Fiends, which pounced on Han Li, each carrying a deadly killing intent.
Han Li was prepared. A flash of light appeared at his waist, and the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade was already in his hand.
With a flick of his wrist, eight smaller blades shot out from the mother blade with a sharp whooshing sound, heading straight for the Yin Sha.
But just as the blades collided with the Yin energy, Han Li's heart sank—these Yin energy, though seemingly illusory, actually contained extremely dense demonic energy. The eight blades struck them, but instead of being blocked in the slightest, they were all shaken off by the demonic energy and were powerless to resist.
The Yin energy showed no signs of abating and continued to pounce on Han Li, about to engulf him completely.
Han Li dared not be negligent. He quickly took out several Fire Cloud Talismans from his storage bag, tapped them with his fingertips, and the talismans instantly erupted. The raging flames transformed into a thick wall of fire in front of him, temporarily blocking the Yin Sha's attack.
At the same time, he took out a flying talisman and slapped it hard on his body. His body instantly became light, and he leaped backward, widening the distance between himself and Yin Sha.
Seeing Han Li trying to escape, Wang Chan's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and she sneered, "Trying to run? Stay here!"
He raised his hand and took out several black array flags from his storage bag. He infused them with spiritual power, and the array flags instantly transformed into several black shadows that shot into the sky and hovered steadily in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, a huge blood-red full moon slowly rose from the center of the array flag, and a thick bloody smell spread outwards—it was the Blood Spirit Array of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Although Han Li was empowered by the Flying Talisman and was quite fast, he was still struggling to deal with the Yin Sha that was relentlessly pursuing him. In addition, the Blood Spirit Array in the air kept dropping bolts of blood-red lightning, forcing him to dodge back and forth, which reduced his speed considerably.
He knew that if things continued like this, Wang Chan would catch up sooner or later. So he stopped hesitating, changed direction, and flew halfway around towards the exit of the passage where he had just left the city—that was the closest to Mu Chunfeng and the most convenient place for the two of them to cooperate and carry out a sneak attack.
Seeing that Han Li was not fleeing but instead flying towards her, Wang Chan burst into a wild laugh: "Hahaha, you've run out of tricks and are desperate? Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, then let you taste the power of my Blood Spirit Array!"
As he rapidly formed hand seals, the Blood Spirit Array instantly and completely closed, trapping Han Li firmly within it.
Wang Chan also leaped into the air, confronting Han Li in mid-air, her eyes filled with mockery and killing intent.
Immediately afterwards, he formed hand seals again, exerting all his power to control the Blood Spirit Array. Within the array, a huge black shadow slowly rose from the ground, several feet tall, with a ferocious face, its body covered in blood-red patterns, holding a huge blood fork in its hand, and exuding a chilling aura—it was the Heavenly Ghost formed by the Blood Spirit Array.
As soon as the Heavenly Demon appeared, it let out a deafening roar, brandishing its giant blood fork and slashing fiercely at Han Li with a world-destroying aura.
Han Li was agile, dodging left and right, using his magic weapon to block and dodge the Heavenly Ghost's fierce attacks. He narrowly escaped death several times, and his robes were torn by the energy from the blood fork, leaving several shallow cuts.
After a brief struggle, Han Li gradually felt his strength waning, his breathing became somewhat disordered, and his speed involuntarily slowed down.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon's eyes flashed with ferocity. Seizing this fleeting opening, he gripped the blood fork tightly with both hands and stabbed fiercely at Han Li with lightning speed, leaving no room for evasion.
At this critical moment, a flash of light appeared at Han Li's waist, and the Azure Condensation Mirror instantly appeared in his hand.
Without hesitation, he activated the magic weapon with all his might, and a dazzling azure light shot out from the mirror, accurately locking onto the incoming blood fork and the entire Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon froze, his body enveloped in azure light, instantly unable to move, his eyes filled with resentment and rage.
But how could Wang Chan give Han Li a chance to catch his breath? He let out a low shout, and the crimson spiritual power within the formation surged out, continuously pouring into the Heavenly Ghost's body.
The demonic aura on Tian Gui surged instantly, and it broke free from the qingmang's restraints. With a wave of its hand, it shattered the qingmang completely. Then, it swung its blood fork again and pounced on Han Li.
Han Li was exhausted and had no choice but to retreat again. Tian Gui followed closely behind, pressing forward step by step, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
Suspended in mid-air, Wang Chan watched Han Li being chased and fleeing in a disheveled state by the Heavenly Demons, and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Mu Chunfeng! Die with your secret!"
Before his laughter could subside, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly shot through his mind, as if countless steel needles were stabbing him relentlessly. The pain caused his body to convulse violently, and he clutched his head tightly with both hands, falling from the sky and crashing heavily to the ground, letting out a painful howl.
Just then, several talismans flew out from the shadows, carrying a faint blue light, and landed precisely on Wang Chan's body—these were the immobilization talismans that Mu Chunfeng had thrown out during his sneak attack.
The immobilization talisman took effect instantly, and Wang Chan's body suddenly stiffened, pinning her to the ground and unable to move, her eyes filled with pain and resentment.
Han Li also instantly noticed the commotion and was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Azure Origin Sword Escape with all his might.
A flash of spiritual light appeared around him, and six illusory yet real spiritual energy clones instantly dispersed, flying off in different directions.
The Heavenly Demon lost its target and became enraged, roaring as it lunged at one of its clones, smashing it to pieces with a powerful fork.
Taking advantage of this gap, Han Li silently circled behind Tian Gui, rapidly forming hand seals, his spiritual energy surging wildly and continuously gathering between his palms.
A massive cyan sword shadow gradually materialized in the air, radiating an incomparably sharp sword aura—it was the Greatsword Technique.
"go!"
Han Li let out a low shout and pushed his palms forward fiercely. The huge cyan sword shadow, carrying a world-destroying aura, pierced through the back of the Heavenly Ghost.
The Heavenly Demon let out a mournful roar, its body instantly disintegrating into countless streams of blood-red spiritual energy, which vanished in the blink of an eye.
Han Li let out a long sigh of relief. His spiritual energy was quite depleted, and he swayed slightly. He quickly steadied himself and flew to Wang Chan's side on his sword.
Mu Chunfeng was already standing there, arms crossed, a smug smile on his face.
Just as Han Li was about to ask a question, he suddenly received a telepathic message from Mu Chunfeng: "Don't speak, let's see what good stuff is in this kid's storage bag first."
Han Li understood immediately, shut his mouth, and stood silently to the side, watching Mu Chunfeng's actions.
Mu Chunfeng bent down and stripped Wang Chan naked again. Without any politeness, he untied the storage bag from Wang Chan's waist, opened it, and found that apart from the magic artifacts he had seen before, there wasn't a single spirit stone added.
The smile on Mu Chunfeng's face vanished instantly, and she slightly pursed her lips, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Afterwards, Mu Chunfeng put away the storage bag, intending to throw it away after flying further away. If it weren't for the fact that this high-grade storage bag was difficult to destroy, he would have destroyed it right now.
Without further delay, the two boarded the Divine Wind Boat together, activated their spiritual power, and the Divine Wind Boat instantly transformed into a beam of light, flying swiftly into the distance.
Wang Chan was left lying naked on the ground, gradually being buried by the wind and sand, letting out unwilling sobs, but she was completely powerless.
Not long after the Divine Wind Boat flew away, Han Li finally couldn't contain his doubts and turned to Mu Chunfeng, asking, "Senior Brother Mu, was the person who attacked him last night, as that person mentioned, you?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Mu Chunfeng's face. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "Hey, junior brother, don't wrong me. I didn't ambush him. He just looked down on me and took a few immobilization talismans from me with his back."
Seeing his insincere expression, Han Li felt helpless and could only ask again, "Then why didn't you just kill him to prevent future trouble? Keeping him around will only bring us trouble sooner or later."
Mu Chunfeng's smile gradually faded, his expression turning solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Do you think I don't want to kill him? But this man is the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, with an extremely high status. If we kill him, it will inevitably provoke a furious retaliation from the entire Ghost Spirit Sect. With their methods, they will surely be able to find everyone involved in the Yan Family Fort incident. At that time, they would rather kill the innocent than let one go. Moreover, the Ghost Spirit Sect also has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, whose strength is unfathomable. The two of us are only Foundation Establishment cultivators now, and we are no match for them at all. We must not take his life lightly unless absolutely necessary."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Han Li slowly nodded. Although his doubts were resolved, his unease only intensified.
He was well aware of the weight of a sect's young master, not to mention that the Ghost Spirit Sect had a deep foundation and a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. If they were truly angered, Huangfeng Valley would probably hand them over without hesitation.
But what Han Li finds most unacceptable now is that he has become the scapegoat.
This left him feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears.
He had been using Mu Chunfeng's name the whole time. If that person wanted to retaliate later, wouldn't they use the pretext of hunting down Han Li? In that case, he would be the one who would suffer, having done nothing wrong but being falsely accused.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as Han Li had imagined.
At this moment, Wang Chan lay naked in the desert, the sand already burying half of his body.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was flushed; he was clearly furious.
Wang Chan roared inwardly, "Han Li! I will definitely kill you!!!"
