?Chapter 1045: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1041 Ambush Chapter 1045: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1041 Ambush Gui Ling, who had revealed her presence, glanced at Han Li after noticing the arrival of the Xu-surnamed youth, the Silver-winged Yaksha, and other people and demons nearby without much surprise, and then she mutteringly transmitted a few words with her lips.


    Han Li’s normally calm face suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.


    “What’s the matter?


    Did Daoist Gui discover something down there?” Lin Yinping, the Endless Sky Saintess, noticing Han Li’s expression, asked brightly with her shining eyes.


    “It’s nothing, just that the two daoists from the Immortal Transcendence Sect seem to be looking for a way out below as well,” Han Li said with his expression quickly returning to its usual calmness.


    “Oh, is that so!” The lady’s eyes danced, and a smile that was not quite a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.


    Clearly, she didn’t believe what Han Li had said.


    However, Han Li’s face remained expressionless, obviously not willing to say more.


    Although the others were equally filled with doubt and suspicion, they were about to work together, and naturally did not want to make an issue out of it.


    The group immediately discussed how they should proceed.


    They were all experienced in battle, and after a brief discussion within a soundproof barrier, they quickly came up with a specific plan.


    Suddenly, spiritual lights flashed on their bodies, and they all disappeared into the raging winds, gone without a trace, beginning their operation.


    Han Li nodded at Gui Ling, and she once again dived underground.


    As for Silvermoon, at his command, she transformed back into a little fox and flew into his sleeve.

    Han Li looked in the direction of the black transportation formation, stroked his chin, and with a single slap on his storage pouch, a figure shimmered in silver light and appeared before him.


    It was the humanoid puppet.


    With a gentle wave of his hand.


    The light around the puppet shifted, and in an instant, it transformed into an inconspicuous yellow light, then its eyes suddenly emitted a burst of purple light, and its figure vanished into thin air, as if it had never been there.


    This battle was no small matter; to be on the safe side, Han Li couldn’t afford to hold back any longer.


    With the puppet at his side to offer help, he could feel confident in going into battle.


    Moreover, given the puppet’s previously demonstrated outstanding stealth abilities, it was likely that even the ancient demons would not be able to detect it.


    As for the black-robed woman, Han Li had never dealt with a demon of Holy Ancestor Yuan Sha’s caliber, so he wasn’t very confident that he could deceive her spiritual perception.


    Holding the Three Flame Fan in one hand and forming a seal with the other, the Thunderstorm Wings emerged behind him.


    A flash of silver light, and Han Li also disappeared from his spot.


    In another corner of the space, suspended in the air above the black transportation formation, the Two-headed Ancient Demon was enveloped by a set of formation flags glowing with a grayish light.


    One head of the demon was staring at the palace with a grave expression, while the eyes of the other head were relentlessly scanning the surroundings, remaining vigilant.


    Each of its four demon claws was holding a pair of Purple Rings, a Green Long Halberd, and a brick-shaped object that was bright red.


    The evil wind brought about by the Black Wind Banner was fierce, but it seemed to have little effect on this demon, whose gaze remained fixed on the palace, unblinking.


    Suddenly, a strange light flickered in the demon’s eyes, a loud boom echoed from afar, and a golden blade energy shot up to the sky in the center of the space, parting the thick clouds with a momentum so great, even the sounds of the howling winds seemed to pause for a moment.


    The frowning eyebrows of the ancient demon’s head twitched slightly, a hint of hesitation crossing its face as if wanting to join the fray but also filled with considerable apprehension.


    But it soon relaxed.


    Because, after the astonishing blade light flickered away, an enormous rough wind pillar rolled out as well.


    Its diameter was more than ten zhang wide, like a black wind dragon, sweeping up the lightning in the sky and even distorting the surrounding air with its turbulent force, as if threatening to tear apart the realm itself.


    Seeing this, the ancient demon’s expression lightened, yet suddenly, without any warning, the eyes of the other head widened, and a giant hand swept forward abruptly.


    A beam of red light broke through the air, and in a flash, it turned into a giant brick several zhang in size, crashing down heavily.


    Before it even hit the ground, flames wrapped around it, and several fire pythons with bared teeth and claws emerged, exuding an aggressive aura.


    “Hmph!


    I didn’t expect you to be so wary!” A cold snort came from within the violent wind, and two figures appeared.


    One of them casually raised a hand and shot out a blue rainbow, which turned into a yard-wide Jade Umbrella that flew up into the sky.


    With a series of explosive “rumble” sounds, the Jade Umbrella, a Yin Ice ancient treasure, managed to withstand the falling fire brick amidst the bursting blue mist.


    The blue and red lights intensely clashed between the two treasures.


    Although the fire pythons were ferociously biting and tearing, their opposing attributes meant they were ultimately ineffective against the Jade Umbrella.


    The two figures stood still, coldly staring at the ancient devil in the air, indeed the surnamed Xu youth and Lin Yinping.


    The ancient devil moved its two huge heads, all four eyes simultaneously fixated on the male and female below.


    “I recognize you, you are cultivators from the Heaventide Prairies.


    So, you wish to leave this place now?


    Alas, it’s already too late!” One head sneered, thunderous laughter reverberating.


    Upon hearing this, the surnamed Xu youth’s face showed a surge of Evil Qi, but without a word, he reached back and slapped his spirit beast pouch.


    Instantly, a cry of a phoenix sounded, and amidst a flash of rainbow light, a Five-Colored Peacock shot out from within, unfolding its wings and hovering above the youth’s head.


    It was indeed inconceivable!


    Wherever the rainbow light from the peacock shone, all malevolent winds ceased, immediately calming the storm.


    This entire scene was witnessed by the ancient devil.


    “Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock!


    You actually possess such an Ancient Spiritual Bird.


    Pity, your prowess is too shallow.


    If it were fully grown, this Venerable might actually fear it a bit.” The ancient devil seemed a tad surprised.


    “Oh, is that so?


    Then taste the power of the rainbow light first,” The surnamed Xu youth was entirely unmoved by the devil’s words, and with a clear cry, the peacock above his head echoed, then with a fierce flap of its wings.


    Rainbow light blossomed in all directions, with the Five-Colored Peacock’s aura swirling forth.


    The ancient devil snorted coldly, clenching a Purple Ring in each great hand, and as the two rings lightly touched, they emitted a piercing buzz, causing agitation and dizziness in one’s Divine Sense.


    Immediately, the rings were thrown, multiplying into numerous purple shadows, overshadowing the nearby skies with an awe-inspiring display.


    Yet, the devil was not yet satisfied.


    With a gesture of his hands, layers of Black Demonic Qi radiated from its body, seemingly preparing to cast magic tools to bolster its treasure’s attack.


    Across from them, the surnamed Xu youth and the Endless Sky Saintess each took out a treasure, one tossing a cluster of green light directly, and the other with the Silver Silkworm Brocade Handkerchief shining brightly, countless silver threads shooting forth.


    Just then, in midair, a faint purple and green smoke emerged out of the breeze and stealthily ascended to above the ancient devil’s head, moving so silently and smoothly, that the skill of concealment was evident.


    The Purple Mirage collided with the Five-Colored Rainbow Light, causing sprays of Profound Heaven Immortal Vine flowers, while the Demonic Qi on the devil’s body transformed into black pythons, viciously lunging.


    The faint purple and green smokes abruptly burst with dazzling light, and two silhouettes darted out, two sharp claws and a puff of grey fog suddenly enveloping from above, reaching the devil’s head in an instant.


    At this critical moment, the treasures released by the surnamed Xu youth and the others also conveniently arrived in front of the devil, the timing executed seamlessly.


    The proximity of someone sneaking and launching a sudden attack naturally startled the ancient devil, but it did not truly panic and instead, with a move of its spiritual sense, the nearby Demonic Qi-formed pythons spiraled, immediately turning from offense to defense to block the cluster of green light and the dense silver threads.


    Meanwhile, both heads of the devil reared, one spewing out murky black flames while the other flickered with a dark flash.


    But then, unexpectedly, as the devil was completely distracted by the overhead sneak attack, at the edge of the grey formation flags setting the barrier below, a golden light flashed and a immense sword, with a thunderous roar, shot straight from the ground to strike upwards.


    With incredible swiftness, the giant sword reached proximity almost at the same moment the devil noticed, the purple flames and golden arcs on the sword fully visible to the stunned devil.


    “It’s you!” In an instant, the ancient devil recognized the owner of the giant sword, yelling in a mix of alarm and anger.


    The sword approached too fast, and as the other attacks already consumed its attention, the devil could only frantically swing down its four arms.


    With a “Swish!” sounds of air-tearing emerged, dozens of crystal-clear claw beams formed a large net, reaching for the sword.


    Such a hastily constructed blockade was naturally unable to stop the immense sword.


    In an instant, the sword pierced through the net and then flashed towards the devil.


    However, just as it hesitated, almost the very moment the sword was about to strike, a layer of pitch-black shield emerged around the devil, and with a loud boom, a massive light orb suddenly appeared, its dazzling light too intense for anyone to make out its details.


    On the ground, a silver arc flashed, and Han Li, using Thunderstorm Wings, surfaced from below, looking up with a frown.


    He had clearly felt a moment ago, that while the giant sword had struck the devil, it did not really land a solid blow and seemed to have slipped past as if meeting resistance.


    While he pondered in surprise, something stirred in the dazzling orb above, and with a “Puchi”, a dark figure shot out like an arrow released from a taut bow, and in a blink, it vanished.


    In the next moment, it reappeared above Han Li’s head.


    “Die,” the enormous figure bellowed like thunder, a pitch-black giant blade humming with fury as it cleaved down towards Han Li, as fast as lightning.


    Although startled, Han Li was prepared.


    As the blade swung down, his Thunderstorm Wings flashed first, and with a surge of electric arcs, he vanished from the spot, the black blade barely missing by a whisker.


    A muffled roar resonated, leaving a several feet deep, giant slash mark on the ground.


    Some twenty-plus yards away, accompanied by rumblings of thunder, Han Li’s figure reemerged, gazing back to where he had been.


    The enormous figure was indeed the ancient devil.


    But now it appeared extremely haggard, with only three of its four demonic arms undamaged; the remaining one having been chopped by nearly half, with a fist-sized hole suddenly appearing on one shoulder, while several large gouges crisscrossed its chest, almost splitting the devil open.


    It seemed that despite the devil’s attempt to defend itself, Han Li and the others’ joint attacks had dealt it a significant blow.


    Seeing Han Li escape from its presence, the ancient devil glared at him fiercely with all four eyes, and in a sudden movement of its hands,


    With a flash of black light, the humming giant blade astonishingly divided into two slightly smaller blades, still emitting a piercing shriek.
