Joining Forces Against the Enemy

When the young prince saw that his sneak attack had failed, a look of despair appeared in his eyes. He couldn't muster the slightest thought of taking the opportunity to escape, after all, there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators here.

If his sneak attack had succeeded, he might have had a chance to escape while the opponent was distracted, but now...

Han Li moved the shield aside, a green light shone in his hand, and he raised his hand to tap the young prince's body several times, imprisoning the spiritual power within the prince's body.

Then he picked up the two men, one in each hand, and flew back to the Four Friends of Mengshan. He casually tossed them to the ground and said indifferently.

"Stop the bleeding and keep an eye on them."

The second of the Four Friends of Mengshan, along with the other two, immediately stepped forward to stop the bleeding for Steward Wang, while also taking positions to guard the young prince and his companion.

"Senior's cultivation technique is profound, truly an eye-opener for us juniors!" the dark-faced old man said with a respectful expression.

At this moment, after witnessing Han Li's battle, the Four Friends of Mengshan no longer showed only superficial respect, but were filled with genuine awe.

"It's nothing, just some trivial skills."

Seeing the unconscious awe on their faces, Han Li felt a little smug, but on the surface he still acted as if he was nothing, making them feel that this senior was even more unfathomable.

"Clang...clang...clang..."

Just then, a series of loud noises suddenly rang out from the crimson light, causing Han Li's expression to change slightly.

The Four Friends of Mengshan looked in the direction of the voice, and when they saw clearly, a look of panic appeared on their faces. The middle-aged woman among them pointed and spoke to Han Li.

"Senior, your magical artifact!"

Han Li turned around and saw that the Heaven-Covering Bell he had used to trap the bald giant was undergoing an incredible transformation.

With each ring of the giant bell, a large bulge would appear on the surface of the Heaven-Covering Bell. After more than a dozen loud rings, the bell was completely unrecognizable, bearing no resemblance to its original form.

Furthermore, the yellow light on the Heaven-Covering Bell had dimmed considerably, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Han Li was somewhat shocked. He had personally witnessed the sturdiness of the Heaven-Covering Bell; even the White Jade Spider could not break through it. Yet now, the bald, burly man's attack had completely destroyed it, demonstrating the strength of the opponent's attack.

Knowing that the Heaven-Covering Bell could no longer trap the opponent, Han Li immediately put away the magic weapon hovering above his head, and then waved his hand to throw out seven or eight beast-shaped puppets to block in front of himself and the Four Friends of Mengshan.

Li Yunfan also noticed this, so he used his divine sense to control six daggers to surround his body. At the same time, he flipped his hand and a red longsword appeared out of thin air. He looked warily at the location of the Heaven-Covering Bell.

Just as the two finished doing all this, the Heaven-Covering Bell exploded with a "boom," and a monster that was neither human nor inhuman flew out of it.

Upon seeing the monster's appearance, the Four Friends of Mengshan turned pale and showed expressions of disbelief.

Han Li and Li Yunfan also showed expressions of unspeakable surprise.

At this moment, the bald giant had completely transformed into a demon, standing two zhang tall with fangs, two jet-black curved horns on his head, and a tail covered in scales trailing behind him. His entire body was covered with black and red demonic patterns, which covered most of his naked body, exuding an indescribable murderous aura.

However, one can still vaguely discern the bald man's original appearance from his face.

The burly man's eyes gleamed with a fierce, emerald-green light, radiating an aura of bloodlust and slaughter. He looked as if he had long since lost his human form. He glanced coldly at Li Yunfan and the others, then suddenly crouched down and shot forward like an arrow.

Upon seeing this, the Four Friends of Mengshan were terrified and didn't know what to do when they suddenly heard Han Li's voice.

"A ritual implement!"

As Han Li's voice fell, the seven or eight puppet beasts in front of them opened their mouths at the same time, and several beams of light as thick as an arm shot out in a flash, directly hitting the demonized giant and knocking him to the ground.

The Four Friends of Mengshan were overjoyed at the sight and unleashed their magical weapons, attacking the giant man with fervor, hoping to defeat the monster in one fell swoop.

However, the next moment, a murderous aura suddenly surged from the big man's body. He then roared to the sky and swung his arms wildly like windmills. The magical artifacts surrounding him were instantly cut to pieces by his sharp fingers, turning into fragments of ordinary iron.

Li Yunfan looked at the demon, his eyes narrowed slightly, and pointed at it with his palm. The six daggers surrounding him instantly transformed into six black beams that shot towards the big man like lightning.

The demon that the burly man had transformed into didn't even try to dodge. Instead, it crossed its arms in front of him, and six clear "ding-ding" sounds rang out. Li Yunfan's magic weapon was actually blocked by it.

Li Yunfan's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that the opponent's demonized body would be so tough, even able to withstand his magical weapon attacks.

Although the burly man blocked the attack without being injured, the stinging sensation on his skin made him extremely agitated. His eyes blazed with a bright green light, and he charged towards Li Yunfan in a flash.

However, Han Li would not let him succeed so easily. He controlled the puppet with his mind and fired several beams of light, which instantly attacked him and hit him solidly.

However, this time the demonized giant was clearly prepared and was not knocked to the ground. He was simply pushed back more than ten feet by the powerful impact.

"Senior brother, this monster's body is extremely tough, no less than a top-tier magic weapon. I'm afraid ordinary attacks won't be able to harm it!" Han Li said quickly with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan did not answer Han Li. Instead, he raised the Crimson Fire Sword, flicked his palm upwards, and a purple flame immediately surged up from the sword.

Then he tossed the Crimson Fire Sword upwards, and with a hand seal, the Crimson Fire Sword blurred and disappeared instantly. When it reappeared, it was already above the head of the demonized giant. As soon as it appeared, it slashed fiercely down at the demonized giant.

Upon seeing this, the burly man roared, his hands glowing with a dark red light as he lunged at the sword. However, the next moment, he let out a painful howl, and with a forceful pull, flung the Crimson Fire Sword away.

A cold smile appeared on Liu Yunfan's lips. Just as he had expected, the other party wanted to rely on his powerful body to withstand his magic weapon.

"Junior brother, keep attacking! Don't give him a chance to breathe!"

Upon hearing Li Yunfan's words, Han Li once again controlled the puppet to unleash several beams of light, while he himself waved his hand and released two dark rays of light, controlling them to attack the demonized giant.

At this moment, after being injured by the Purple Nether Heart Flame, the big man's eyes actually showed a hint of clarity. He was startled to see that there were two Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators here.

Before he could think it through, Han Li's attack was already in front of him. In a panic, the big man could only cross his arms in front of his chest again to block the attack.
