The giant beast’s third silver eye on each of its four heads shot out silver threads, unleashing a relentless storm of attacks. Under this barrage, Liu Shui’er, desperately dodging, clearly resorted to her most powerful abilities and treasures.
Aside from her set of silver shuttle weapons, she summoned a set of misty white banners and a small golden drum. The white banners transformed into swirling clouds of white mist, filled with shifting, unpredictable runes. Meanwhile, the golden drum spun rapidly, sending forth waves of golden energy that surged toward the beast like a raging tide.
As for Liu Shui’er herself, in addition to the thousand-armed Dharma Form behind her, she spat out blue lotus flowers from her mouth, each one crystalline and dazzlingly beautiful.
The power of these ice lotuses was extraordinary.
Any silver threads that broke through her other defenses and reached her were intercepted by the spinning lotuses, causing both to explode and dissipate upon contact.
However, summoning these lotuses clearly took a heavy toll. With each lotus she spat out, her face grew noticeably paler. In just a short time, she had already expelled over a hundred, and her body, enveloped in radiant light, began to sway unsteadily.
It was only because she saw Han Li arriving that she forced herself to endure. Otherwise, she would have fled the moment the four-headed beast first merged.
Now that Han Li and Shi Kun had arrived in time, her face brightened with relief, and she urgently called out, “Fellow Daoists, this beast is incredibly powerful. Quickly, use the joint attack technique!”
Han Li, who had been about to strike the beast below, paused briefly before nodding. His dark hands formed a seal, and a vast gray radiance erupted from his back, forming a massive curtain of light.
Shi Kun hesitated for a moment before letting out a low shout. His body’s spiritual light turned pitch-black, and countless gray threads shot from his outstretched fingers.
Meanwhile, Liu Shui’er changed her hand seals, causing her Dharma Form to dissipate. In its place, a gray halo slowly emerged behind her.
The halo blurred briefly before spinning rapidly, spewing forth countless runes that shattered and reformed in an instant. Soon, an enormous, unknown rune took shape at its center.
Liu Shui’er lowered her gaze and began chanting an arcane and cryptic incantation.
The four-headed beast seemed to sense impending danger and roared furiously. The silver eyes on each of its heads shot out beams of silver light far thicker than usual, merging into a single massive pillar as thick as a bowl, hurtling straight toward Liu Shui’er.
At the same time, the dozen or so shadowy clones split into two groups, viciously charging at Han Li and Shi Kun in midair.
Before they even got close, they unleashed beams of dark energy, their forms shifting into enormous black nets that descended upon the two cultivators.
However, these were merely the transformed clones of the Silver-Eyed Dark Beast, hardly worth Han Li’s concern.
With a cold laugh, Han Li didn’t even move. A ball of silver flame erupted from his body, swelling to the size of a zhang before exploding into countless silver sparks.
The black energy beams aimed at him were deflected by a crystalline shield that appeared in front of him, while the black nets were instantly engulfed in silver flames, reduced to wisps of smoke.
Shi Kun, though not as effortlessly dismissive as Han Li, opened his mouth and spat out a crimson bronze mirror. The mirror trembled, releasing three-colored flames that not only dissolved the black beams but also held the descending nets at bay.
Faced with the massive silver pillar, Liu Shui’er’s expression flickered, but she calmly formed a strange seal with one hand and pointed a delicate finger at the incoming attack.
The gray halo behind her hummed before detaching and flying forward to meet the silver pillar.
The pillar struck the rune at the halo’s center, causing it to spin wildly until it became a blur.
Then, something bizarre happened—the silver pillar vanished into the rune as if swallowed by the void.
A moment later, a zhang-wide rune appeared before the beast, and an identical silver pillar shot out from it, reversing the attack back at its source.
Liu Shui’er had somehow redirected the attack through space itself.
However, the technique clearly drained her. Her already pale face flushed unnaturally red, though she remained steady on her feet.
The four-headed beast, stunned to see its own attack turned against it, roared in fury but could only counter with four more silver beams.
A deafening explosion erupted as the two forces collided, sending shockwaves that distorted the surrounding space.
Seizing the moment, Liu Shui’er flicked her fingers, sending multicolored incantations into the halo.
“Go!” she commanded, pointing at the gray halo once more.
The halo trembled, and the rune at its center transformed into a gray beam that shot forth.
Han Li and Shi Kun, expressionless, also activated their techniques. Gray radiance and threads converged above the beast, merging into a colossal ten-zhang-wide sphere covered in glowing runes.
With a muffled boom, the sphere shattered, unleashing a torrent of runes that rained down like a storm of destruction.
The beast, sensing the danger, roared and merged its four heads into one, forming a monstrous visage with two antler-like horns, massive fangs, and four silver eyes.
As the runes descended, the beast’s silver eyes flashed, conjuring countless silver orbs that shot upward to intercept them.
Simultaneously, the beast inhaled deeply before exhaling a pitch-black sphere that expanded into a thick, shifting barrier around its body.
Han Li, watching from above, narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing briefly.
Just as the silver beams and runes collided midair, creating a chaotic storm of energy, Han Li vanished in a streak of blue-white lightning.
He reappeared beside the black barrier, where the beast was undergoing a terrifying transformation—its body sprouting black scales, twin whiskers, and a thick tail, resembling a monstrous qilin.
From its maw, a dreadful black energy pulsed ominously.
Han Li remained expressionless, though a flicker of tension crossed his lips. With a flash of golden light, a three-headed, six-armed phantom emerged from his body.
One of its arms raised a golden blade and slashed at the black barrier.
…
Far away, beyond countless miles, a golden beast leading a pack of three-eyed dark beasts suddenly halted mid-leap, turning back with a look of alarm in its pitch-black eyes.
