Chapter 188 Infamy
Sealing Yue's ugly face was extremely unpleasant. He never expected the other party to dare to mock him, which instantly ignited his anger.
Although he hadn't reached Foundation Establishment stage back then, relying on a few decent magical treasures and his vicious methods, he had gained a notorious reputation among the low-level disciples of various sects!
It's worth mentioning that, due to grudges, he once locked other cultivators in a dark room, torturing them for three days and three nights until their continuous cries stopped, ultimately killing them.
Ordinary disciples, not to mention seeing him in person, even hearing his name would pale in fear and immediately flee.
Such a notorious reputation should have been eliminated by those Foundation Establishment cultivators who disliked him long ago.
But he was quite cunning. Although he was extremely vicious towards low-level cultivators, he would immediately flee upon encountering someone whose strength far surpassed his own, seeking refuge back at Heaven's Gap Fortress.
The people of Heaven's Gap Fortress, for the sake of their own reputation, naturally wouldn't hand him over.
As a result, those who pursued him could only stare helplessly as he roamed freely.
And once the pursuit died down, Sealing Yue would swagger out of the fortress again, continuing to harm other cultivators.
After a few rounds of this, those higher-level cultivators had to reluctantly accept the situation and couldn't be bothered anymore.
After all, Sealing Yue also knew what he could and couldn't do.
He wouldn't harm the loved ones of those with powerful backgrounds.
As a result, Sealing Yue's ferocity and infamy spread far and wide among the seven major sects!
This made him even more unrestrained, gradually developing a domineering attitude of doing whatever he pleased!
Except for a few disciples from other sects whose reputations surpassed his own, he didn't even bother to acknowledge other low-level cultivators!
But now, Han Li, a mere eleventh-layer rookie, dared to say that he wanted to kill him. How could the already arrogant Sealing Yue not be furious!
"You're seeking death!"
Enraged, Sealing Yue was determined not to let Han Li live another second.
With a flick of his finger, a small knife in front of him turned into a yellow rainbow, flying straight towards Han Li's head, intending to decapitate him in one strike.
He was confident that although Han Li had a blue water attribute shield, under his talisman's attack, it would definitely be shattered, resulting in death.
However, Han Li wouldn't let things go as Sealing Yue wished. Without changing his expression, he raised a black shield from his hand, which grew larger as it flew out, firmly blocking the yellow light two yards away.
When the yellow light of the small knife touched the black light on the shield, it made a "squeak" friction sound. Although the yellow light immediately gained the upper hand, pushing the black light back, the shield also stubbornly emitted black light, resisting fiercely.
As a result, the yellow light was unable to break through the shield for the time being.
Seeing this scene, Sealing Yue was surprised, while Han Li sighed in relief.
Sealing Yue hadn't expected Han Li to possess such a rare top-tier defensive magical treasure, while Han Li was relieved that his speculation had been correct.
He had taken a considerable risk using this flying shield to resist the opponent's talisman, and if the opponent's talisman's power exceeded his expectations, he would have been beheaded long ago.
During the confrontation with "Senior Brother Lu" the other day, he had been able to confront him with the top-tier magical treasure, the Azure Dragon Flag, for half a day. Although Sealing Yue's small knife was more powerful, his flying shield should still be able to withstand it for a while.
Considering this, Han Li dared to take the risk.
Seeing that he was temporarily safe, Han Li immediately grasped the "Golden Light Brick" magical treasure in his hand, ready to use it to kill the opponent in one fell swoop!
But before he could mobilize his spiritual power and start casting spells, Sealing Yue on the other side suddenly shouted, "Bastard! Where do you think you're going?"
Then, with a flash of his figure, he appeared on the edge of another dense forest, blocking someone there.
The person who was sneaking into the dense forest turned out to be the woman in yellow.
It turned out that this woman, seeing that she had no chance of winning here, and fearing Sealing Yue's infamy, took the opportunity of the confrontation between Han Li and Sealing Yue to escape.
Han Li had seen through this woman's intentions early on, feeling somewhat annoyed but couldn't be bothered to stop her.
Since the other party was of no help here, whether she wanted to leave or not was up to her!
However, since the other party had betrayed their alliance first, he wouldn't hinder her escape, but he also wouldn't lend any further assistance, letting her fend for herself!
Han Li coldly wanted to ignore this woman, but Sealing Yue, who was already burning with anger, was not so easily fooled.
He had already harbored resentment towards the yellow-clad woman because of Han Li's words just now. Seeing her attempt to flee, he naturally wouldn't let her succeed! So he flew forward to block the yellow-clad woman's path.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's senior sister was so frightened that she turned and ran like an ordinary person, forgetting to use any spells.
Upon seeing this, after Sealing Yue's ugly face twitched a few times, his figure spun around, appearing once again in front of the yellow-clad woman, and without hesitation, he raised his hand, piercing a large hand emitting yellow light directly through her chest, then out from the back, turning into a blood-soaked hand.
The yellow-clad woman's lifeless body collapsed on the ground, her eyes wide open but devoid of vitality. Perhaps she regretted her rash decision to flee from Han Li's side before dying, but there was no regret medicine to take in this world!
Taking advantage of knowing that the opponent no longer had magical treasures and powerful talismans, Sealing Yue, who had killed the yellow-clad woman in close combat, withdrew his hand, deliberately licked the blood droplets still dripping from his fingers, and then grinned at Han Li triumphantly.
Only seeing Han Li hiding inside the shield, his face turned pale, lips tightly sealed, although he didn't shout loudly, he was undoubtedly terrified. Sealing Yue smugly thought to himself.
His previous easy victories over opponents were largely due to his infamous reputation.
Anyone who dared to fight against him, as long as they thought about the dire consequences of falling into his hands, would be frightened before the battle even began, naturally reducing their fighting spirit, making defeat inevitable.
Now that Sealing Yue saw that although Han Li's cultivation techniques weren't profound, the magical treasures on his body were indeed not weak, he planned to continue using this tactic to intimidate him, making it impossible for him to fully concentrate on fighting, allowing him to gain the upper hand.
Now, seeing the expression on Han Li's face, it seemed that his methods had worked. Delighted in his heart, Sealing Yue swayed his feet a bit arrogantly before returning to his original position, facing Han Li again.
Han Li's complexion was indeed unsightly, and he felt a strange sensation in his heart. However, it wasn't because of the opponent's bloody methods but because he was greatly troubled by his opponent's lightning-fast agility.
After using the "Golden Light Brick" magical treasure once before, Han Li had already discovered that this seemingly powerful item, which far exceeded flying sword magical treasures, had significant flaws when facing real opponents.
Its destructive power was indeed astonishing.
Basically, once it hit, low-level cultivators had no way out.
Even if they had many magical treasures and shields, it wouldn't change much.
However, the weakness of this magical treasure was also equally obvious.
It not only required a large amount of the user's spiritual power to manipulate but also its speed and flexibility were truly speechless.
If the opponent could be entangled or trapped beforehand, this magical treasure would naturally be very effective, becoming the best weapon to kill the enemy.
However, relying solely on the Golden Light Brick itself to kill the enemy was wishful thinking.
Unless the opponent's spiritual power was exhausted, casually applying a few enhancing spells could easily evade the attacks of this treasure.
So, this "Golden Light Brick" magical treasure was not like the entangling-type treasures similar to flying sword magical treasures or Sealing Yue's small knife magical treasure.
Instead, it was a purely powerful weapon pursued for its great power, similar to the seal magical treasures of the Foundation Establishment experts of Heaven's Gap Fortress.
Since Han Li had no magical treasures or talismans to entangle his opponents, he had originally planned to use several golden blades to entangle the enemy first and then use the Golden Brick to launch a surprise attack.
According to Han Li's thoughts, although this couldn't guarantee success, there should at least be a fifty percent chance!
But now, after seeing Sealing Yue's agility, Han Li knew that this was simply wishful thinking. With the speed displayed by the opponent, not inferior to the Flowing Smoke Step, it would be effortless for the opponent to temporarily break free from the entanglement of magical treasures.
Han Li felt extremely annoyed but also puzzled. Could it be that Sealing Yue, like himself, was also not from a martial arts background?
