Although Han Li was greatly puzzled and filled with doubts about Feng Yue’s astonishing speed, now was not the time to delve into the matter. Reluctantly, he first put away the “Golden Light Brick” talisman treasure he had taken out. Then, with a swing of the mother blade of the “Golden Silkworm Blade,” he released all the sub-blades in a swarm. They transformed into eight dazzling golden arcs, fiercely shooting toward Feng Yue. Han Li hoped to rely on the sheer number of blades to seize victory in the chaos.
If Feng Yue were to recall the yellow light to defend himself, that would be even better—at the very least, it would maintain a stalemate. However, Han Li had little confidence in this outcome. Given Feng Yue’s formidable reputation, his strength was surely not limited to this. This attack was also meant to test the waters.
Sure enough, when Feng Yue saw Han Li’s golden blades flying toward him, he showed no sign of panic. Instead, he let out a few cold laughs and revealed an object he had just retrieved—a yellow, umbrella-shaped magical instrument.
Feng Yue did not release the umbrella but calmly waited until the eight golden arcs were about to strike him before unfurling it. Instantly, a spherical yellow barrier enveloped him completely. When the golden blades collided with the barrier, they emitted a series of strange crackling sounds and were effortlessly deflected.
This was also a top-tier defensive magical instrument, and its power far surpassed that of Han Li’s Soaring Sky Shield.
Han Li’s face turned pale with shock, while Feng Yue burst into wild laughter, his expression brimming with arrogance.
This was hardly surprising. Since obtaining this “Yellow Luo Umbrella,” Feng Yue had never been injured by a low-level cultivator. Seeing Han Li’s alarmed expression naturally filled him with immense satisfaction.
Feng Yue valued this umbrella far more than the dagger talisman treasure. After all, talisman treasures had limited uses—once their power was exhausted, they became worthless scraps. But this “Yellow Luo Umbrella” had saved him countless times!
With a sigh, Han Li formed a hand seal and pointed, recalling all the golden blades. They returned to his hand, reverting to their original form.
Uncertain of Han Li’s intentions but confident in his defense, Feng Yue focused entirely on controlling the yellow light, launching a fierce and relentless assault. He manipulated the dagger like a bolt of lightning, weaving around Han Li in an attempt to bypass the shield and strike him directly.
However, what Feng Yue did not know was that while the Soaring Sky Shield might be inferior to his Yellow Luo Umbrella in terms of defensive power and range, its agility far exceeded that of ordinary defensive instruments.
No matter how fiercely or cunningly Feng Yue directed the yellow light, the shield steadfastly blocked every attack. Only then did he realize that unless he completely destroyed the shield, he would never get close to Han Li.
Frustrated, he reluctantly returned to the tedious task of gradually wearing down the iron shield’s defense with the yellow light. Although most of the black light on the shield’s surface had already dissipated, what remained was still enough to hold him off for a while.
At this point, seeing no path to victory, Han Li gritted his teeth and made a painful decision.
He stored the golden blades in his storage pouch and retrieved a small, bluish-black gourd. Raising it high, he released seven or eight black spheres that drifted lightly toward Feng Yue.
Feng Yue naturally noticed Han Li’s actions and was momentarily puzzled. The gourd instrument was exceedingly common—almost every low-level cultivator knew of this cheap and practical tool, and many had used similar items.
Regardless of whether the container was a gourd, bottle, or pot, the spheres it released were famously known as “Primordial Chaos Beads.” However, their power was relatively weak compared to top-tier instruments, barely ranking as mid-grade.
This very fact made Feng Yue suspicious.
Before the spheres could get close, he reached out and retrieved an “Ice Spear Technique” talisman. With a flick, the talisman transformed into a crystalline white ice spear that shot fiercely toward the spheres.
With a crisp *bang*, the ice spear shattered after colliding with three or four of the spheres. Glittering ice fragments scattered through the air like a shower of hail, creating a strangely beautiful scene.
Reassured by this, Feng Yue turned his attention back to Han Li. By now, Han Li was holding a large cyan banner, on which a ferocious green flood dragon writhed and clawed, looking as though it might leap out at any moment.
With his extensive experience, Feng Yue immediately recognized this as a top-tier instrument of exceptional quality, its power not to be underestimated!
Han Li waved the banner, causing cyan spiritual light to gather slowly on its surface, dazzlingly bright and imposing.
Although Feng Yue had full confidence in his Yellow Luo Umbrella, his cunning and cautious nature made him keep his eyes fixed on the banner, wary of any unexpected abilities that might breach his defense.
As for the Primordial Chaos Beads, he had already dismissed them as mere distractions. Given their pitiful power, even if they circled his umbrella all day, they would never shake its defense.
However, Feng Yue grew increasingly wary and perplexed as Han Li continued to produce one top-tier instrument after another.
He suspected that Han Li, like the Treasure-Bearing Woman, was a descendant of some powerful figure. This made him even more determined to kill Han Li, fearing that if Han Li escaped alive, he would face endless repercussions. Moreover, Han Li had witnessed his murder and plundering, and if the Treasure-Bearing Woman’s elders were to seek revenge, he would be in serious trouble.
Just as Feng Yue was captivated by the Green Flood Dragon Banner and his killing intent grew stronger, the Primordial Chaos Beads finally reached him, colliding with the Yellow Luo Umbrella’s barrier. After a few crisp impacts, the first few beads were easily deflected.
Hearing the sounds, Feng Yue instinctively glanced down.
“With these Primordial Chaos Beads, you think you can attack me? How overconfident! Not just these, even if—”
“Huh? Why is this one so small? And blue…”
Just as Feng Yue was sneering, he noticed that after one of the beads was deflected, a smaller blue pearl, no larger than a pill and far smaller than ordinary Primordial Chaos Beads, was revealed behind it.
Before Feng Yue could process this, the blue pearl touched the spherical barrier.
“White light—a dazzling, brilliant, blinding white light!”
This was the last color Feng Yue saw in this world. Then, a warmth spread through his body, and he knew nothing more.
From Han Li’s perspective, the moment the blue pearl touched the yellow light, it erupted into a silvery-white sphere about ten feet in diameter, silently enveloping most of Feng Yue’s body. Moments later, the light vanished without a trace, revealing Feng Yue’s stunned expression, as though he were unharmed.
Han Li’s heart sank, but before he could react, a gentle breeze blew. Feng Yue’s body crumbled like sand, turning to ash.
All that remained were two severed calves and a pair of boots, standing eerily alone on the ground.
Seeing this, Han Li felt no fear. Instead, he collapsed to the ground, heaving a deep sigh of relief as his heart finally settled back into place.
After deploying his ultimate trump card, the “Sky Thunderbolt,” and executing a series of feints and deceptions, he had finally eradicated Feng Yue from this world.
Yet Han Li’s face showed no joy, only self-mockery and a bitter smile.
This was hardly surprising. It was only the second day of his expedition into the forbidden land, and he had already exhausted all his magical instruments, even using his final trump card. How could he possibly feel happy?
The thought of encountering countless formidable opponents like Feng Yue in the next three days weighed heavily on his newly eased heart.
However, if he hadn’t used the Sky Thunderbolt, he would surely have met his end—the Soaring Sky Shield was on the verge of collapse. Moreover, after killing Feng Yue and acquiring his top-tier instruments, along with those from the Treasure-Bearing Woman, he had not only avoided loss but had also gained a substantial profit!
With this thought, Han Li’s spirits lifted, and he quickly turned to look ahead. But what he saw made his jaw drop, leaving him speechless for a long time.
