Chapter 183 Blending Spirit Talisman
Han Li felt a bit bitter in his mouth. Despite his caution, he had been ambushed by others, and in the worst scenario possible: outnumbered!
Currently, he was in a place known as the "One-Line Heaven," an extremely dangerous area where, without flying artifacts, there was only one narrow path leading to the central area.
The sides of the path were steep cliffs, too perilous even for someone with Han Li's worldly martial arts and exceptional lightness skill to attempt to climb!
Flying directly over from above was even more out of the question; it would be suicide, a blatant invitation to be attacked.
No one would dare attempt such foolishness, as previous tragic experiences had taught them that flying artifacts were strictly prohibited within the forbidden area.
Otherwise, they would end up as corpses.
Han Li hesitated for a long time before deciding not to fly over from the mountain peaks, so he could only walk along the path slowly.
Of course, given the dangers here, Han Li was extremely cautious, keeping his guard up every step of the way. However, despite his vigilance, as soon as he emerged from a crossroads, he was unexpectedly blocked from both the front and the back.
Seeing the fierce expression on the stubbled man's face, Han Li knew that there was no point in trying to talk his way out of this situation.
He immediately released a defensive water shield around himself and summoned the Flying Shield artifact in his hand, along with the "Golden Beetle Maternal Blade" and a few intermediate high-grade talismans, including the "Earth Prison Technique. "
The stubbled man and the person behind him watched Han Li's every move without attempting to stop him or launch an attack. They appeared confident, seemingly convinced that they had Han Li squarely under control, which is why they seemed so relaxed.
This was hardly surprising. The person behind them was already at the twelfth level, and the stubbled man seemed to have mastered the thirteenth level. Facing Han Li, who was only at the eleventh level, they naturally felt confident of their superiority and considered it a trivial matter!
Seeing this, Han Li smirked inwardly. Since the other party was so overconfident, he naturally had to take full advantage of it.
Unobtrusively, Han Li shifted his position to one side, putting himself in a flanking position with respect to the two men, so as not to leave himself exposed. Sure enough, the two men did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack.
Facing the strongest opponents he had encountered since entering the world of cultivation, Han Li was not particularly afraid.
Although he tried to avoid direct conflicts with others as much as possible, it did not mean he lacked confidence in himself. Although his cultivation base was much weaker, his top-grade magical tools and talismans were enough to make up for the difference.
And if all else failed, he could summon the "Thunderstorm Child" to eliminate one of them, which wouldn't be a difficult task.
However, he was reluctant to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
But Han Li also had some doubts. Why were the stubbled man and the person from the Skyrealm Sect not fighting each other but instead joining forces? It was normal for fellow disciples of the same sect to cooperate, but these two men were obviously not from the same sect!
"Kid, you've got some nerve! When we were outside the forbidden area, you dared to mock me and flirt with that wench. Now it's time for you to pay for it with your life!" the stubbled man said ferociously.
Then he turned to the person from the Skyrealm Sect and said, "Brother Yan, this kid has a grudge against me.
Let me deal with him alone. I'll entertain him properly.
I want him to know that the world of cultivation isn't so easy to get by in!
Before offending someone in the future, he'd better think twice! "
The person from the Skyrealm Sect shrugged indifferently. "Do as you wish. I'll be here to assist. But don't mess up like you did last time. Otherwise, you'll owe me another favor!"
"Haha, that was definitely an accident! Now, dealing with this rookie with half my strength will be more than enough!" The stubbled man blushed at first, but then sneered contemptuously.
"Cough, do as you please! I just hope I don't have to hear any bad news from you one day because of this.
After all, it's not easy to find someone with whom I can get along so well after so many years of drinking and eating together!
" The person from the Skyrealm Sect shook his head, seemingly worried about the stubbled man's arrogance.
But he didn't think that the opponent in front of him would pose any threat to his old friend.
Besides, he was watching from the sidelines!
Han Li listened to their conversation without any concealment, understanding some of the intricacies and clarifying
his doubts.
These two were actually friends, and they seemed to get along quite well.
This complicated matters! These two must be more coordinated in their joint attacks than ordinary people who temporarily join forces. From the way they spoke, it seemed that they had cooperated more than once!
Han Li couldn't help but feel frustrated!
"It seems I'll have to use thunderous means first, focus on dealing with one of them, and then it will be much easier to deal with the other!
But this is really ridiculous! Originally, it was random teleportation for disciples from various sects, but they managed to end up together in the same place.
It's unbelievable!" Han Li thought bitterly, feeling both doubtful and resentful at their luck.
Han Li didn't know that the person from the Skyrealm Sect was also feeling quite pleased with himself. Upon seeing the stubbled man approach Han Li, he couldn't help but think of the greatest contributor to being able to gather with his good friends: the "Blending Spirit Talisman."
"The high-grade Blending Spirit Talisman is really useful.
As long as both friends use this talisman simultaneously before entering the forbidden area, their spiritual energy will temporarily be linked together, and they will be transported to the same location.
Although the success rate is said to be only fifty-fifty, and the price is surprisingly high, much higher than ordinary intermediate high-grade talismans, they succeeded nonetheless.
They have ambushed several disciples from various sects who passed through here and made a big profit! "
"Moreover, Yan is not stupid! Spending a lot of money to take risks coming to this forbidden area is not for the few spiritual herbs that everyone is eyeing, but simply to kill people and take treasures openly and aboveboard.
There won't be any consequences. I believe that as long as the two of them work together and avoid confronting those seemingly powerful experts, they should be able to easily achieve their goal.
Then, when the time is right, they will retreat to a hiding place and wait until it's time to leave safely!
This is really a perfect plan, something only I could come up with!
" The person from the Skyrealm Sect indulged in his daydreams of a bright future after leaving here, completely ignoring the impending battle.
At this moment, the stubbled man took out a green pouch and approached Han Li with a sinister smile, as if he were about to attack.
However, whether it was the reminder from his good friend or not, he used a talisman halfway through, creating a green light shield around himself to strengthen his defense.
Seeing this scene, Han Li furrowed his brows, feeling a headache coming on!
Originally, he was wary of the methods of the Beastmaster Mountain, planning to take advantage of this person's carelessness to deal with him first. But now that the opponent had cast a defensive spell, it wouldn't be so easy to do it in a short time.
Of course, if he summoned the "Thunderstorm Child," no matter how many tricks the opponent had, it would be useless. But that was a consumable item. Han Li didn't plan to use it unless it was a matter of life and death!
Since this person was not an option, Han Li naturally turned his attention to the disciple of the Skyrealm Sect on the other side.
Seeing that the man was standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, apparently lost in thought and completely unaware of what was happening here, Han Li felt a surge of joy, knowing that there was an opportunity to exploit!
Without hesitation, he flung the "Earth Prison Technique" talisman in his hand directly at the stubbled man.
As a result, the talisman turned into a yellow light in mid-air and shot towards the man, forming a larger yellow shield outside the stubbled man's defensive spell, trapping him firmly inside, unable to move forward in the slightest.
