53 Burning With Devil Fire

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment he finished speaking, Han Li's figure blurred and he disappeared from his spot.

"Look out…"

The turtle-looking elder's expression morphed into shock as he cried out loudly.

In the end, before he could finish speaking, he merely saw a blurry figure flashing in front of him and he felt like he had been hit with a giant mountain. He flew back rapidly like he was a broken hessian sack and fell against one of the mountain peaks outside of the field. He was thrown straight against the mountain walls and whether he was still alive or dead was unknown.

Two soft bangs sounded!

The white-haired elder and tanned man had just watched the turtle-looking elder fly out and before they could understand what was going on, they felt their vision turn dark. With that, their bodies instantly flew in two different directions like they were only a speck of dust, before they collided into a mountain.

The entire field was instantly silenced.

Liu Le'er glanced at the black robed disciples surrounding the field, and the various magical treasures. Her mouth was wide open, unable to close.

Although she knew that her Brother Stone was very capable, what she just witnessed was still beyond her imagination and she felt like she was still in a dream.

The girl was still a little dazed when Han Li appeared beside her and asked with concern.

"Le'er, how are your injuries?"

"Thanks to the treasures Brother gave me, I'm fine. Qi Xuan is extremely greedy. Not only did he want Brother's spirit flames, he wanted to use me to lure Brother here as well. However, apart from imprisoning me, he didn't do anything to me." Liu Le'er shook her head, saying with some fear still in her.

Han Li nodded, as he started to sit down with his legs crossed. He took out a white spirit pill and ate it.

In the past, with his current magic, he would be able to defeat these types of attacks on the consciousness even if he consciously reduced his strength.

"Brother, shouldn't we take the chance to leave now?" Liu Le'er was a little confused. She looked around them and said with slight worry.

With the large commotion Han Li had caused at the field, it had naturally alerted the entire Sky Ghost Sect. Rays and rays of light flew out from everywhere all converging in the field.

"Since we're already here, why should we leave in a rush?" Han Li said carelessly with a small smile.

After some time, there was a loud crack and several large rays of lights flew over. With a flash, six shadows appeared, the aura they exuded not weaker than the three elders before.

Seeing the current situation, they all looked towards Han Li with shocked expressions.

Although they were all slightly surprised, they each checked the man out with their consciousness, then glanced at each other and pulled some distance between them simultaneously. It was only then that they finally showed their magical treasures.

Sharp sounds pierced through the skies and six lights from various magical treasures shone down from above. They attacked Han Li at the same time, their combined strength extremely shocking.

Han Li did not get up, as he remained seated. His body twirled about on the spot, the sight of his arm blurred as he gave a punch to each of the six directions at the same time.

Several rumbles sounded!

The air around him rippled and rings of runes surfaced, spreading outwards.

An alarming cry rang out and all of the magical treasures' attacks seemed to have met with an invisible wall and they broke into six giant spiritual energy balls. The force was extremely strong, as if the entire space started to ring together with it.

The glow slowly dissipated yet Han Li who was originally sat on the ground had disappeared from their view.

The six men in the air froze instantly. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of one of the middle-aged men with small eyes. Han Li appeared, lifted his arm and punched out without a word.

A loud bang sounded!

He did not have any time to react, so he instantly flew back from the crazy force.

While he was still flying backwards, he heard five loud bangs follow after him consecutively. Then, he bumped into something hard, his vision turning black as he lost consciousness.

After Han Li punched the remaining five Spatial Tempering cultivators one after another, he returned to Liu Le'er's side, standing still with his hands behind him.

Right then, the remaining Sky Ghost Sect disciples who had rushed over from all sorts of directions happened to see what just happened. They all stopped in their paths in shock and glanced at each other while some felt extremely helpless.

All of these Spatial Tempering elders that were above everyone else were casually being punched away by an ordinary-looking Nascent Soul cultivator, like they were flies he was swatting away. Some landed somewhere on the field and dug out large holes upon impact while some directly landed on the sanctuaries nearby and caused the sanctuaries to collapse straight away.

The sight of the countless unconscious disciples lying around the field, as well as the floor filled with magical treasures only added to the shock they felt.

Right at this moment, a white ray shot out from afar and stopped, suspended right above the Sky Ghost Sanctuary that was already half-destroyed. A devilish-looking man wearing a nice brocade appeared from within.

The person looked like he was in his thirties. His facial features gave him a righteous feeling, while he had a ring of short purple beard growing under his chin. He exuded an extremely strong and firm aura.

"Great-grand Elder…"

"Elder Lu is here! This is great…"

Cries filled the field as everyone recognized the new arrival. When they saw this person appear, happiness appeared on their faces and they started to cheer as if they had found their saviour.

The person's eyes immediately landed on Han Li and even though his expression was extremely stern, he quickly moved his hands and gave Han Li no time to explain.

"Fusion realm cultivator…"

Han Li glanced at that person and pouted a little as he turned his wrist, a mini mountain appeared in his palm with a black flash.

He stretched his arms wide and waved with his greatest strength.

That black mini mountain flew out with a whoosh.

The black mini mountain flashed with a black glow halfway through its flight, before it grew to at least ten feet wide and flew straight towards the purple-bearded man.

Before the mountain could reach him, he could already feel an alarming aura coming from the mountain. The man looked as calm as usual and his hands moved in an incredibly fast speed as he made hand seals.

Seeing that the black mountain had already grown to a thousand feet tall and was about to hit him, the man suddenly stopped moving.

Suddenly, a ring of dark purple light started to glow under his feet. A secret array formation made of runes suddenly appeared and instantly covered him.

That mountain hit nothing and instead smashed towards the broken walls below it.

At the same time, the same array formation appeared under Han Li and Liu Le'er. With a purple glow, the both of them were instantly swallowed by it.

Fengyin Mountains, in a hidden mountain valley.

This place was narrow and had bad lighting. Thick, black mist boiled within the area, while there were stone rocks as tall as a thousand feet on both sides. There were some weird emblems carved at their top, as well as some hard-to-understand ghostly runes.

Four tall stone pillars stood in each of the valley's corners and every pillar was carved with intricate emblems making them look extremely ancient and unique.

Right at that moment, there was a purple sparkle on the black floor and both Han Li and Liu Le'er materialized onto the empty space in the valley.

Liu Le'er was still being protected by the flame net the silver firebird morphed into. Having been transported here so suddenly, all she felt was dizziness and her body swayed unsteadily.

The moment Han Li managed to stand properly, he looked up and scanned the area around him.

The purple-bearded man had unknowingly appeared on one of the green stone pillars, while there were two male cultivators and a female cultivator sitting on top of the other three stone pillars with their legs crossed, as if they were meditating.

The woman was wearing a red tutu, her figure voluminous while she looked pretty and attractive. She did not look too old, but there was a type of maturity exuding from her.

The other two were a one-eyed muscular hunk and a hunched elder.

The auras of the three cultivators were not weaker than the purple-bearded man and they too were Integration level cultivators.

The three of them felt the change in the valley and opened their eyes simultaneously. They stared at Han Li and Liu Le'er with shock, before they glanced towards the purple-bearded man.

"Elder Lu, didn't you go settle the trouble at the Sky Ghost field? Why did you come back so quickly and even brought two outsiders into our restricted area?" The beautiful woman asked chidingly with furrowed eyebrows.

"I don't have the time to explain too much. This person is a top Integration level strength cultivator. Quick, activate the Earth Devil's Soul Shocking Array!" The purple-bearded man said hurriedly with a dark expression.

Hearing this, the three of them were surprised and although their expressions changed a little, none of them hesitated as they each hurriedly took out a black token.

Including the purple-bearded man, the four of them cried out simultaneously and waved their wrists before they threw the tokens out.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang."

Four clangs of metal hitting each other rang out. Those tokens flew straight down and landed around Han Li, before they burrowed into the ground.

Whoosh.

A loud cry rang out in the valley.

Han Li only felt the ground under him tremble as a low humming similar to unending thunder came from the ground.

A thousand feet around him, the soil started to shake as the ground erupted and four weird-looking archways broke out of the soil and trapped both Liu Le'er and Han Li.

These arches were formed with four pillars each, all of which were about sixty yards tall. The pillars were covered with the bones of humans and animals, while the corners of the eaves had a bloody red skull hanging from it and like a red wind chime, the skulls swayed nonstop.

In the center of each of the archways there was a giant evil ghost's head. One of them had an eye that was like a copper bell, while some had blood flowing out of the corners of its mouth. None of them looked the same.

Seeing this, Han Li wanted to do something when the giant ghosts on the four archways suddenly came alive. Eight large eyeballs turned eerily towards him.

Loud pops rang!

All of the eyeballs shot out a large ray of bloody red glow simultaneously. As they flashed and met each other, they morphed into a sea of bloody red shadow and pressed downwards as they surrounded a thousand foot radius around Han Li and Liu Le'er.

Immersed in the bloody red sea, Han Li only felt the strength equivalent to a thousand jun1 pressing down onto his shoulders. His clothes clung tightly to him, as even his actions became a little more delayed.

Blue light flashed in his eyes slightly, before firecracker-like booms sounded from within him. His body merely shook a little, before it stood stably once more, while his expression remained unchanged.

Under such a strong pressure, the silver net covering Liu Le'er became a little distorted and the top of it even sunk down greatly. However, with a few hand seals from Han Li that then went into the net, it ultimately managed to remain standing. The teenage girl under it was shocked at first, before she relaxed upon seeing Han Li's actions.

The beautiful woman glanced below her, at both Han Li and Liu Le'er who were completely fine against their combined assault and asked in a disbelieving tone.

"How can this be?"

"It appears we have still underestimated him. This array can only trap him temporarily at most. However, now that we're at the Devil Flame Valley, we can use the power of the Nine Skies Devil Flames our Bone Flames Ancestor left in the valley and directly artifice him." The purple-bearded man said softly with a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Attack!"

The one-eyed muscular hunk and the hunched elder glanced at each other, before they said simultaneously.

The four of them immediately called out hand seals quickly, while they also started to mutter under their breaths with a crazy speed.

Suddenly, ringing started to be heard and the echoes grew in the valley, causing the entire valley to shake together.

From the cliffs on both sides of the valley, small stones started to fall while the ghostly runes carved on them started to shine brightly.

Those runes that originally could not be seen suddenly seemed to come to life as they each distorted and struggled free before morphing into black fire lotuses.

The fire lily petals shook as they spun around crazily and black fire lotuses shot out from the cliffs one after another and flew into the valley nonstop. Within moments, they formed a sea of flames and instantly rushed towards Han Li and Liu Le'er.
