Facing the arc of light, Sun Qiang had no way of resisting, with a flash of red light, it went straight through his nascent soul.
With a "pa da" sound, the Nascent Soul shattered into specks of red light and disappeared into the air.
This scene took a long time to describe, but actually happened in an instant. When Sun Qiang took out the Divinity Shield, he was scared out of his wits and disappeared in just a few breaths. However, because Sun Qiang fought to the death, it gave him the time to escape. Hu Chunli had already flown a thousand kilometers away, and upon sensing that Sun Qiang's aura had disappeared from heaven and earth, she staggered. If not for the fact that Han Yan was currently being suppressed by the Divinity Shield, she would have had her nascent soul out of her body and used her instantaneous technique, intending to frantically flee for her life.
However, once the Nascent Soul left the body, it would be exposed to the air for a long period of time, causing the cultivation level to drop. If the body could not be found and possessed within a set period of time, then as time passed, the Strength Of Yang in the body would become lesser and lesser, until death. For cultivators, possession wasn't hard, but the key was that it was very difficult to find a suitable body. If one were to randomly find one, their aptitude would be too low, and they wouldn't even have a chance to cry. Even if his talent was good, he would still need a period of time to fully adapt. After all, that wasn't his physical body. After possessing a body, he wouldn't be able to control it for a short period of time.
It was exactly like this that Hu Chunli had been hesitating about whether he should act in such a manner. If Han Yan could escape the attacks of the Divinity Shield, if she did not give up on her physical body, she would definitely die. If Han Yan could not escape the Divinity Shield's attacks, giving up on her physical body would lower her cultivation. As for the Nine-clawed dragon cat, Hu Chunli did not care about it at all. She did not believe that the Nine-clawed dragon cat would be able to kill her after unleashing so many divine abilities on her. Just now, when the Xiao Hui had unleashed her Shocking One Claw to kill Sun Qiang's Nascent Soul, Hu Chunli had already sensed it. The arc of light contained an attack that was much weaker than before, so even if the Nine-clawed dragon cat unleashed another Shocking One Claw, Hu Chunli was confident that she could block it.
Thinking up to here, Hu Chunli gave a deep glance at Han Yan who was being suppressed by the Divinity Shield, clenched his teeth, and flew towards the east. She knew that if she ambushed Han Yan now, she would definitely be able to kill him. If she ambushed him, the spell she cast would actually help Han Yan escape from his predicament. Other than this, there was another reason why Hu Chunli gave up on his sneak attack. After all, she didn't know much about Han Yan, nor about the double cultivators. Only the heavens knew if Han Yan had a chance to escape. If Han Yan had coincidentally escaped during the sneak attack, wouldn't that mean that he had entered the jaws of death?
In the sky, Hu Chunli's figure moved as fast as lightning, transforming into a streak of fear as he swiftly fled.
Not long after Hu Chunli's figure disappeared, a gray light flashed in the air and the Xiao Hui appeared there. It looked in the direction that Hu Chunli was fleeing in, and suddenly turned towards Han Yan. When it saw that the Divinity Shield was not more than three hundred meters from the ground, it roared in anger, and then, with a flash, it rushed towards Han Yan's direction.
It could not be denied that the Xiao Hui's speed was indeed very fast, and was not much slower than Han Yan's green small sword either. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the side of the Divinity Shield. Just as it was about to fly into the Divinity Shield, it was repelled by an enormous force, and bounced over thirty meters away. The Xiao Hui circled in the air once, and after adjusting the direction with difficulty, it flew down once again.
If one were to look carefully, this was no longer flying, but colliding with something.
The Xiao Hui seemed to not care about death, charging forward with all its might. The result was the same, and it was once again spread out. This time, the rebound was stronger, and it immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, its face full of pain. Even so, the Xiao Hui still did not give up. In the end, the Xiao Hui's body was covered in blood, and not a single part of its body was unharmed. It floated in the air and unwillingly looked at Han Yan. The expression in its eyes was extremely complicated, as if it was in pain, as if it was feeling helpless, as if it was angry …
If you only looked at it with your eyes, the Xiao Hui was no longer a Demonic Beast, but a real person.
Han Yan could see this scene clearly from underneath the Divinity Shield. When he saw the crazy actions of the Xiao Hui and the expression in its eyes, his heart couldn't help but tremble. At that moment, he had the feeling of being a brother that he could not part with. Of the two brothers, one of them would die, but the other would not.
Seeing that the Xiao Hui still wanted to charge over, Han Yan took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "No, let's go quickly."
Two streams of tears seemed to have flowed down from the eyes of the Xiao Hui as she said in a hoarse voice, "No, Boss, you can't die …"
Han Yan laughed, revealing the happiest smile he had ever had in all of these years, as memories of the past flashed past his mind one by one. Han Yan was already satisfied enough with being able to have such a companion in his life. At this moment, life and death was no longer important. He only wanted to experience the deep feelings of brotherly affection.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two of them was only thirty meters. Thirty meters was not far, but in their hearts, it was as if it was a long epoch. Time seemed to stop at that moment, and they could only see each other's reflections. Finally, the Divinity Shield landed on the dry ground, with a loud bang, dust filled the sky. The Divinity Shield continued to descend, and a huge pit appeared on the ground. Han Yan's aura had already disappeared, as if he had disappeared from the world.
"No …" The Xiao Hui saw that the pit was getting deeper and deeper, and was no longer able to control its tears.
At this moment, with blood dripping from his eyes, the Xiao Hui's body shook and fell from the sky. At this moment, it was completely able to cast spells, allowing its body to once again float in the air. However, it did not do that. Han Yan was its master, so he had signed a soul contract with it. Once Han Yan died, its soul would slowly dissipate as well. Although he would not die instantly, this feeling of slowly dying was a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than being killed …
Therefore, when the Xiao Hui fell from the sky, it gave up resisting. Rather than dying in pain, it would be better to fall from the sky! The Xiao Hui's body fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the ground, and the moment it landed, a trace of light suddenly appeared in the pair of gloomy and despairing eyes. It then spun in the air, floated again, and then steadily landed on the ground.
At this time, the expression in the Xiao Hui's eyes was completely different from before. The despair disappeared from her eyes and it became suspicious. If Han Yan died, its soul should have slowly disappeared, but after such a long time, its soul was still in good shape. This only meant one thing, Han Yan was not dead.
However, the Xiao Hui had another reason to doubt. Its connection with Han Yan had already been severed, and not only that, it was unable to sense Han Yan's existence. If Han Yan wasn't dead, why did his soul sense disappear? The Xiao Hui could not understand even after thinking about it. In the end, it gave up on committing suicide and sat beside the pit, letting its consciousness out to sense what was happening in the pit. It did not go down, because there was a huge amount of energy rising rapidly from the pit. If it went down, there would only be one result. Not only would it die without a complete corpse, it would also cause its soul to shatter.
The Xiao Hui's consciousness descended into the deep pit, and then drilled into the strand of energy, wanting to see what actually happened under it. But not too long after entering, his divine sense quickly dispersed. The Xiao Hui's face changed and spat out a mouthful of blood. It did not give up. It continued to emit its divine intent to contend against the huge amount of energy. Even if the consumption of its divine intent was enormous, it would not hesitate to do so.
The Xiao Hui's divine intent penetrated through the energy with great difficulty. It was shockingly slow, and could only travel a distance of less than thirty meters in one breath. If this speed continued, it was unknown just how long it would take to find a Divinity Shield. Not only that, but its divine sense was being consumed at an alarming rate. Perhaps before long, its brain would be affected because of the massive consumption of divine sense. At that time, even though it was still alive, its three souls and seven souls had all withered and lost their consciousness, turning it into a walking beast. Only by slowly regaining the soul could he think of the past and think of the past.
In the deep pit, the huge amount of energy was rising rapidly. Just as the Xiao Hui was about to be exhausted, the huge amount of energy rushed out. At this moment, with the deep pit as the center, a large amount of energy scattered in all directions. The Xiao Hui's body, under this energy, had no power to resist at all, and like a kite with its string cut, it quickly flew backwards. As soon as he landed, the Xiao Hui felt dizzy and fainted.
In the instant he fainted, the Xiao Hui saw a gigantic pillar of fire soaring up into the sky from the deep pit, straight into the nine heavens and the clouds.
If one looked closely, that pillar of fire was not made of flames, but burning magma. Although it looked like a red flame on the surface, the temperature contained within was thousands of times higher than the red flame. The moment the fire pillar soared into the sky, the ground began to shake violently and the area within five kilometers began to shake violently. As the fire pillar rose into the sky, the ground began to shake violently and the area within five kilometers began to shake faster and faster.
The lava soared into the sky, bringing with it a large amount of dust. Thick smoke and dust covered up the rays of light, and the sky instantly turned dark. A moment later, the lava fell to the ground. A portion of it flowed down through the ravine to the ground, but most of the lava quickly collected and cooled down. A mountain peak that was thousands of feet tall suddenly appeared on the originally flat ground. When the light shined on the rocks, they emitted a bit of golden light. These golden light were the few ores that were rare within the Taoism — — Golden Stone.
Unfortunately, there were no sects within thousands of miles of the Red Stone Desert. Although the shock from earlier had shocked many cultivators, the moment many cultivators left the sect and flew over, they saw a Old Monster of Elemental Infant Stage flying frantically towards the east. It seemed that he was in a hurry, as if he would be killed if he was even a little bit slower.
For a moment, the cultivators hesitated. If a treasure really did appear at the edge of the Red Stone Desert, could the Old Monster of Elemental Infant Stage fly in the opposite direction? And it looked like he was running for his life? Everyone thought for a while and finally came to the conclusion that the tremor just now was not because of the treasure, but because the experts were fighting. There was definitely more than one expert fighting, and the ones with the lowest cultivation were all at the Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, it would be impossible to force the Expert of Elemental Infant Stage to such a state.
What Han Yan did not know was that Hu Chunli's berserk escape had created a chance for him to survive. Otherwise, if a large number of cultivators came, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to survive. Think about it, what would happen if these cultivators came and found out that there were still heavily injured cultivators here? But there was only one, he would definitely kill Han Yan.
Aside from that, Han Yan also couldn't imagine that the eruption of lava this time would completely change the situation on the continent.
