Chapter 779: Slaying the Enemies

Han Li wore a solemn expression as he made a rapid string of hand seals, and the eighteen Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords split up into two batches, with six of them circling around him, while the remaining twelve shot forth through the air.

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand azure sword projections appeared, forming a vast sea of sword qi that was several acres in size before sweeping toward the oncoming enemies.

Tie Yu raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, but he didn't appear concerned at all. The sword array appeared to be quite formidable, but it didn't contain much law powers, so it didn't pose any threat in his eyes.

His subordinates clearly also thought the same thing, and the fiery green cloud, the crimson tiger head projections, and the barrage of golden feathers lit up even further before striking the azure sword array with tremendous power, immediately followed by the attacks from all of the other Golden Immortals and True Immortals.

A string of resounding booms rang out, and the azure sword array shuddered violently as close to half of the azure sword qi within it was eradicated in the blink of an eye.

However, instead of displaying any concern, a faint smile appeared on Han Li's face, and he abruptly switched to a different hand seal.

The streaks of azure sword qi instantly transformed into even thicker streaks of golden sword qi, all of which had arcs of golden lightning dancing over them, giving off formidable lightning law power fluctuations.

The entire sea of sword qi was instantly restored to its former state, while a peculiar dragon design appeared deep within it.

Incredibly formidable sword qi fluctuations erupted out of the sea of golden sword qi, and they were several times more powerful than the energy fluctuations released by the azure sword qi.

All of the attacks that had plunged into the sea of golden sword qi were instantly destroyed. Not only was the sword array itself extremely formidable, the arcs of golden lightning within it were particularly potent when it came to eradicating baleful qi, so it was able to destroy all of the oncoming attacks with ease.

The sword array continued to descend right before the astonished eyes of the High Zenith Stage trio, and they immediately began to retreat, but it was already too late.

The sea of golden sword qi crashed down upon the trio, completely encompassing them before they were able to get away, and Tie Yu immediately began rushing into the fray upon seeing this.

The three High Zenith cultivators were all precious subordinates of the Golden Rhinoceros King, and if they were to be slain here, even if he could capture the heads of Han Li and Shi Chuankong, it would be far too heavy a loss to incur.

As Tie Yu flew through the air, a giant green bow appeared above his head amid a flash of green light. There were nine Divine Poison Arrows nocked on the bowstring, and all of them were let loose at once.

The nine arrows hurtled directly toward the sea of golden sword qi, leaving nine long, black trails in their wake.

The nine arrows were extremely fast, and they reached the sea of golden sword qi in an instant, but right at this moment, six golden flying swords appeared in their path, radiating dazzling golden light as they quickly crossed over one another to form a giant sword lotus flower.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as a series of spatial rifts appeared in the nearby area, and the golden sword lotus flower exploded as the six flying swords were sent flying in all directions, but the nine Divine Poison Arrows were also stopped in their tracks.

Right at this moment, the space in front of Tie Yu suddenly began to tremble violently, and countless silver runes surged forth before converging toward him from all directions.

All of a sudden, Tie Yu felt as if there were an invisible hand closing around him from all directions, forcing him to stop.

Shi Chuankong was standing in mid-air not far away from him, holding a silver lute as he observed Tie Yu with a cold smile.

Right at this moment, the sea of golden sword qi began to descend upon the devilish beings trapped within it, and the horned man's expression changed drastically as he swept a sleeve through the air to release a pair of large azure flags, both of which were burning with azure flames that were giving off formidable glacial fire law power fluctuations.

The two flags unfurled at his behest, forming a thick azure fire barrier around his entire body.

At the same time, the red-haired elderly man opened his mouth to release a crimson pagoda, and as it revolved on the spot in mid-air, rays of crimson light cascaded down from the pagoda to envelop his entire body.

As for the golden-haired young woman, a suit of heavy golden armor quickly appeared over her body amid an eruption of radiant golden light, and countless golden runes were dancing over the suit of armor, giving off bursts of law power fluctuations and an indestructible appearance.

The three of them were very quick to react, immediately summoning their devilish treasures, but the other devilish beings were not so fortunate, and a chorus of blood-curdling howls instantly rang out as most of them were torn to shreds in the blink of an eye.

Some of them were able to adopt some protective measures, but they were still sliced into ribbons, nonetheless, and in the blink of an eye, all that remained in the sword array were the three early-High Zenith cultivators and four or five Golden Immortals.

All of them were gathered in a circle with their backs facing each other, and devilish treasures were flying all around them, forming a colorful protective barrier to keep the surrounding sword qi at bay.

Han Li harrumphed coldly as he switched to a different hand seal, and the dragon design at the center of the sword array instantly began to glow radiantly.

An earth-shattering draconic roar rang out as twelve giant golden dragons flew out of the center of the sword array at once, and every single one of them was several thousand feet in length, while their bodies were formed entirely by golden lightning and streaks of sword qi.

In the next instant, the twelve golden dragons pounced onto the colorful protective barrier, wrapping themselves around the barrier before constricting with all their might.

The protective barrier was instantly destroyed, and at the same time, countless streaks of sword qi erupted out of the bodies of the twelve golden dragons to inundate the horned man and the others.

A few of them had their bodies torn to shreds before they even had a chance to cry out, and before Tie Yu had a chance to intervene, everyone in the sword array had already perished.

Tie Yu was furious to see this, while all of the other devilish beings on the dark cloud in the distance were looking on with astonished expressions.

Even Shi Chuankong was staring at Han Li with a stunned look in his eyes.

Han Li exhaled as he made a hand seal, and the golden sword array instantly began to shrink down before vanishing altogether, reverting back into twelve Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

However, the lightning runes on the swords had become far dimmer than before, while the lightning law powers emanating from them had also become quite feeble, as if the lightning law powers inside them had been exhausted.

The twelve flying swords flew back into Han Li's dantian at his behest, and having just had so much of their lightning law powers exhausted, it was going to take a nurturing period for them to recover.

The sword array that he had just unleashed was the Horned Dragon Sword Array that he had learned from Jin Hai, and it was a secret sword array of the Boundless Sword Sect, one that was rather similar to his Azure Coil Sword Array.

However, in contrast with the Azure Coil Sword Array, which required seventy-two flying swords to unleash, the Horned Dragon Sword Array only required twelve flying swords, but it was extremely taxing on the swords used and could only be unleashed using flying swords of an extremely high caliber.

Even the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords most likely wouldn't have been able to withstand the strain if it wasn't for their recent evolution in the golden lightning pond.

Flames of fury were burning in Tie Yu's eyes at the sight of the shredded remains of his subordinates, but in the next instant, he took a deep breath, and his enraged expression quickly faded.

His subordinates were already dead, so there was nothing that he could do. On the bright side, without those people getting in the way, he would be able to fight without any qualms.

"Impressive! It appears I underestimated you. You've earned the right for me to personally put an end to your life!" Tie Yu declared as fierce killing intent rose up from his entire body alongside a tremendous and violent aura that instantly filled the entire area.

Everyone standing atop the dark cloud was instantly swept away like falling leaves in a gust of wind in the face of his aura, and Shi Chuankong was also forced to stagger back over a thousand feet before just barely managing to steady himself with a stunned look on his face.

He turned to take a glance at Han Li, then flew back even further, exiting the battlefield altogether.

Out of everyone present, Han Li was the only one who was able to remain completely unmoved, but his brows also furrowed slightly as he raised a hand to make a beckoning motion, summoning the six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords from before back to himself.

However, at this moment, there were many streaks of mist-like green light wrapped around the six flying swords, and they were burrowing into the swords like living creatures while giving off vicious law power fluctuations.

The golden light emanating from the six flying swords was quickly fading, as if they had been corroded somehow, and green spots appeared on their surfaces before quickly spreading.

Han Li's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and arcs of golden lightning instantly erupted out of the six flying swords at his behest, attempting to eradicate the streaks of green light around them.

However, the green light continued to cling firmly to the flying swords, refusing to be dispelled.

"Nothing can escape from my Green Cloud Miasma!" Tie Yu chortled as he reached out to make a grabbing motion, and nine arrows appeared above his head amid a flash of green light.

All nine arrows were nocked on the bowstring of the green bow, which had been drawn back in full.

The nine arrows were then fired and reached Han Li in the blink of an eye, traveling over twice as fast as before!
