Han Li and the woman had long since set up the Great Geng Sword Formation and an unnamed array of banners around them.
At this moment, as they activated the formations, the purpose of the banner array remained unclear. However, the Great Geng Sword Formation alone was enough to immediately trap the two Changnu within it.
One of the Changnu paused in surprise, but then a fierce glint flashed in its eyes. With a flicker of its limbs, it transformed into a faint blood shadow and vanished, attempting to forcefully break out of the sword formation.
Clearly, given the cunning nature of the Changnu, it knew that lingering here would be disastrous.
The Great Geng Sword Formation was incredibly profound. Despite the Changnu’s astonishing speed, hundreds of golden threads suddenly appeared at the edge of the formation, rolling forward like a tide.
With a series of “puff” sounds, countless chunks of flesh exploded from the void, only to reassemble into the Changnu’s form moments later.
But before the creature could escape again, golden light flashed around it, and dense golden threads reappeared, swiftly converging upon it.
A golden flash later, the Changnu was once again sliced into countless fragments.
With loud “bang” sounds, all the fragments exploded on their own, transforming into a bloody mist that surged outward, completely ignoring the relentless golden threads.
Han Li, watching from outside, narrowed his eyes coldly.
His Emerald Swarm Sword was not limited to such simple techniques. He immediately activated the sword’s hidden power with a mental command.
The golden threads trembled and turned crystalline white, releasing waves of bone-chilling cold.
Even though the bloody mist was formless, the extreme cold of the threads quickly coated it in layers of ice. With a crisp “crack,” the mist froze solid, unable to move.
Thunderous roars erupted as countless fine arcs of lightning shot from the threads, reducing the frozen mist to sparkling powder under a golden electrical storm.
Han Li’s lips curled into a faint smile.
But the next moment, his smile froze.
The sparkling powder suddenly glowed with a bloody light, dissolving into crimson droplets that shot backward before the threads could strike again.
A bloody flash later, the Changnu reformed at the center of the sword formation.
Though its bloody aura had dimmed slightly, the damage was negligible.
The Great Geng Sword Formation had forced the creature back but failed to inflict real harm.
Han Li’s wariness deepened.
Without a word, he channeled his full power into the formation, summoning thousands of golden threads that surged toward the center in layers, their speed doubling.
Seizing the moment, Han Li glanced at the woman outside the formation. She had closed her eyes, holding a ritual disk while chanting incantations. The thirty-six banner flags trembled amidst swirling silver runes—all of them Silver Kho Script!
Just then, the second Changnu struck.
Unlike the first, this one remained motionless at the center, but dozens of blood-red tendrils shot from its body, each several zhang long and razor-thin.
Before Han Li could react, the tendrils lashed out like a storm, forming a blurry whip-shadow that encased the creature in a crimson sphere, expanding rapidly.
The sphere collided with the golden threads, producing ear-piercing screeches as the sword formation’s power was forcibly halted.
Han Li’s pupils contracted. He formed a seal, and the threads unleashed waves of freezing energy, but the tendrils repelled the cold effortlessly.
More tendrils sprouted, and the sphere roared, pushing the golden threads back relentlessly.
Meanwhile, the first Changnu, inspired, transformed into a blurry blood shadow and charged into the threads, spinning rapidly with countless blood threads on its surface.
The golden threads were forced back again.
Han Li inhaled sharply—the Great Geng Sword Formation was ineffective against these creatures.
He discreetly palmed a dozen gold-silver orbs, watching the battle with a grim expression.
Suddenly, the woman’s chanting ceased.
Han Li turned to see her ritual disk glowing brilliantly, surrounded by silver runes. The sky had darkened, and a chilling wind arose, stirring the very essence of heaven and earth.
The disk now pulsed with terrifying power, reminiscent of the unfathomable aura of the two Yaksha Kings.
Han Li activated his Spirit Eyes and gasped—the disk bore Golden Seal Script!
The woman smiled at him and raised the disk high.
A golden orb formed at its center, and a colossal pressure erupted.
The thirty-six banners roared, summoning countless motes of light that converged upon them.
With a deafening thunderclap, a massive hundred-zhang-wide array emerged from the clouds, aligning perfectly with the disk. A golden thread shot down, merging with the orb, which then soared into the array.
The array expanded, its power dwarfing even the Great Geng Sword Formation.
The woman, drenched in sweat and pale, seemed on the verge of collapse.
As the orb fused with the array, its pressure grew unbearable, forcing Han Li back several steps.
Miles away, the two Yaksha Kings exchanged startled glances and vanished.
The Changnu broke free and lunged at Han Li and the woman.
Before Han Li could act, two milky-white beams shot from the array, vaporizing the Changnu instantly.
“Teleportation Array!” Han Li realized the creatures had been banished, not slain.
The woman grinned triumphantly but suddenly paled further, darting toward the array.
Han Li followed without hesitation.
Just then, two colossal figures with massive wings emerged from the void, roaring as one hurled a punch and the other slashed with a bloody blade.
