109: Kill the second divine fetus

“Boom—!”

Lightning flashed, and behind Han Li, a terrifying Thunder God Avatar materialized. Silver electric light shimmered, and Han Li appeared like a Thunder God descending.

“Not good!”

The four Innate leaders were startled, reacting instantly. But in the next second, Han Li appeared directly in front of one of them.

He threw a punch, and lightning exploded.

Lightning Fist.

The terrifying Aura instantly made the Innate leader in front of him feel the Aura of death. Subconsciously, a layer of blood-colored light bloomed, enveloping his body.

“Pfft—!”

The lightning punch landed, and the blood-colored light instantly shattered. The leader of the Xiantian martial artist immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He lowered his head with difficulty; his chest had been directly pierced by a single punch.

His internal organs were instantly pulverized.

“You…!”

With a difficult word, the body of the Xiantian martial artist leader collapsed to the ground.

His life force was cut off.

Instant kill!

Blood Qi emerged, and the Demonic Seed was sealed.

“Old Xu!”

The three Innate leaders exclaimed, reacting quickly. The three Xiantian martial artists simultaneously unleashed their martial arts, blasting towards Han Li.

Defending on three fronts.

Terrifying waves of Qi rushed forward, and electric light permeated Han Li’s body.

As the three attacks approached, a Dragon Elephant phantom instantly materialized behind him.

The supreme ancient fierce might emanated.

“Boom—”

The attack landed, and golden light mixed with lightning emanated from Han Li’s body. Intense shockwaves spread, and the three Innate leaders were directly sent flying.

Smashing through the courtyard wall, one Xiantian martial artist leader immediately spat blood and fell to the ground. Outside the gate, Chen Ye, who was waiting, looked at the shattered courtyard wall, then at the Blood sucking Marauders leader spitting blood in front of him. He was instantly stunned.

Before he could react, a terrifying sword shadow rushed out from the courtyard, tearing through the air. A sword carrying astonishing Sword Qi descended.

“Boom!!!”

An explosion sounded. With one sword strike, the Blood sucking Marauders leader, who had fallen to the ground spitting blood, was directly killed, his head rolling to Chen Ye’s feet.

“Roar—!”

And at this moment, an earth-shattering Dragon roar came from the courtyard, instantly pulling Chen Ye’s thoughts back.

Immediately after, there was a violent rumbling sound, and the other courtyard walls were directly blown apart. A strong bloody smell permeated the air.

Chen Ye looked into the courtyard. On the ground lay three corpses, none other than the three Blood sucking Marauders leaders.

They were as dead as could be.

Four Xiantian martial artists were thus killed in an instant.

Han Li’s figure stepped out, and Chen Ye, who was beside him, also recovered.

“Han…”

“Take care of yourself, I’m going to support Commander Bai.” Before Chen Ye could finish speaking, Han Li’s voice echoed in his ears. By the time he recovered, Han Li had already disappeared.

“Instant kill! Is Commander Bai’s friend such a Prodigy?!”

Chen Ye was stunned… The intense sounds also quickly alerted all the Blood sucking Marauders.

And as Han Li made his move, in the northern part of Tai Gu Town, a courtyard also erupted with a violent explosion, and powerful shockwaves spread.

Bai Yi and Blood Devil Taoist had already engaged in battle.

At the same time, a few miles outside Tai Gu Town, on the desolate land, a large group of armored figures appeared.

Black armor, full of solemn majesty.

The Demon Suppression Army had arrived!

Xu Shaoqiu was among them.

“Commander Yuan, Commander Bai has already engaged in battle,” Xu Shaoqiu said to a purple-armored man on a large horse beside him.

“Advance at full speed, surround Tai Gu Town, leave no Blood sucking Marauders alive!”

Commander Yuan immediately gave the order. Instantly, over a thousand Demon Suppression Army soldiers rushed towards Tai Gu Town at full speed… In Tai Gu Town, a courtyard in the northern part exploded, and two figures clashed fiercely, their shockwaves directly destroying nearby buildings.

“Boom—!”

With one collision, the two figures separated.

A blood-robed middle-aged man looked at Bai Yi, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.

“You’re quite bold, daring to come with just this much strength. Today, your blood will be the final medicinal ingredient for my saint pill.” A cold voice sounded. In the next breath, the blood-robed middle-aged man waved his hand, and behind him, towering red light bloomed, transforming into a giant red beast, galloping and roaring, its cries shaking the air.

“Demon Suppressing King Fist!”

Bai Yi clenched his fist, and a powerful Innate Protective Aura instantly erupted. A punch shot out, directly transforming into a substantial fist print.

“Boom—!!!”

A violent sonic boom sounded.

Rolling waves of Qi swept out.

With one collision, both figures retreated simultaneously.

Blood Devil Taoist’s face was grim, and his gaze became serious.

Just at this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed, appearing as if from thin air. A Dragon Elephant roar, eight white Dragons roared, transforming into a divine golden seal that directly attacked.

Blood Devil Taoist’s pupils instantly contracted. Without time to think, blood-colored light condensed, forming a giant blood-colored beast that roared and charged out.

“Boom—!”

Two powerful attacks collided, and visible waves of Qi rushed out, destroying the surrounding houses in an instant.

“Wah—”

Blood Devil Taoist’s face drastically changed. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his Aura fluctuating. His figure flickered, and he quickly disappeared from his original spot.

“Han Li!”

Looking at the shimmering golden figure, Bai Yi was startled.

Had he already dealt with those four leaders?

His thoughts raced, but now was not the time to ponder that question. He quickly collected himself.

At this moment, Han Li’s golden wings behind him moved, and he instantly vanished. In the next breath, he directly intercepted Blood Devil Taoist.

The Dragon Elephant Divine Fist erupted again. A punch like a Dragon, shattering the Void Realm, the surging power evolved into a golden seal that instantly slammed down.

“Heavenly Blood Saint Art!”

Blood Devil Taoist was startled and immediately activated his martial arts. Intense blood-colored light bloomed, and behind him, a blood-colored giant appeared, charging out.

“Boom!!”

The golden seal struck, and the blood-colored giant instantly collapsed. Powerful force surged, and Blood Devil Taoist’s body was instantly sent flying, smashing through the courtyard wall, raising dust.

Before Blood Devil Taoist could attack again, Han Li raised his hand, and the Zhan Ling Sword instantly appeared. True Qi was activated, and the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay instantly struck out.

A sword descended, piercing through the air, merging with two hundred sword shadows, plus the supreme sword strike of Taiqing Sword Intent, it instantly arrived.

Looking at the incoming sword, Blood Devil Taoist instantly felt the arrival of death.

He fully activated his True Qi, and a thick Innate Protective Aura guarded his body.

“Boom—!”

A sword descended, a divine sword strike, instantly shattering the defense of the Innate Protective Aura.

Dust flew, and with one sword, the ground cracked with visible fissures. Lingering Sword Qi pulverized everything.

“This is his strength!”

Not far away, watching this scene, Bai Yi’s pupils contracted.

Directly suppressing Blood Devil Taoist, Han Li’s strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Just at this moment, from within the thick dust and smoke, Blood Devil Taoist’s figure appeared.

His robes were torn, his body covered in blood, and his Aura was severely damaged.

This sword strike had completely injured him.

And at this moment, Blood Devil Taoist took out a blood-colored Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

In the next breath, a terrifying Aura instantly rose.

“Buzz—”

Blood-colored light bloomed. Blood Devil Taoist’s languid Aura instantly recovered to its Peak, and even progressed further.

“Very good, you’ve wasted this old man’s saint pill. Then I’ll use your blood to reforge this old man’s saint pill.”

A hoarse voice sounded, and dense blood-colored light shone forth. Within the blood-colored light, a large hand, cast like dark gold, quickly reached out and charged towards Han Li.

Its speed was like lightning, rushing forth.

Looking at the incoming attack, Han Li’s expression remained unchanged. Golden light bloomed, a Dragon Elephant phantom materialized, and he raised his hand, directly throwing a punch.

“Boom—!”

At this instant, a powerful shockwave spread out. The clash and collision of the two martial arts erupted with destructive power.

The dark gold hand directly collapsed. In terms of power, Han Li had the absolute upper hand.

“Whoosh—!”

His figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot. In the next breath, in the Void Realm, a peerless spear descended.

Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth!

The crimson long spear shattered everything. Blood Devil Taoist’s face drastically changed. He instantly activated his martial arts, and a thick Innate Protective Aura burst out, striking back.

And at this moment, Bai Yi finally made his move.

He attacked Blood Devil Taoist from another direction.

Under the pressure from both sides, Blood Devil Taoist’s pressure instantly doubled.

Three figures intertwined, and intense shockwaves spread all around.

Blood Devil Taoist, having consumed the “saint pill,” was three points stronger than his previous Peak.

But facing the siege of two experts, Han Li and Bai Yi, even with the recovery from the saint pill, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Auras clashed, and the battle between the three was as swift as lightning.

The powerful fluctuations made it impossible for the other Blood sucking Marauders to approach.

And at this moment, outside Tai Gu Town, a rumbling sound echoed. Immediately after, a large number of black-armored soldiers appeared at the entrance and around Tai Gu Town.

Heaven-piercing Killing Intent emanated.

The entire Tai Gu Town instantly fell into fear and panic. The faces of the Blood sucking Marauders drastically changed.

“Kill!”

Earth-shattering battle cries sounded, and Demon Suppression Army soldiers charged into Tai Gu Town one by one.

Large-scale combat instantly erupted.

The Blood sucking Marauders cultivated Demonic Technique and were powerful, but they faced the Wu Dynasty’s top Demon Suppression Army.

Unrivaled in attack!

Coupled with their leader being besieged and severely wounded, the battle instantly turned into a rout.

A bloody Aura enveloped the entire Tai Gu Town.

Even the air seemed to drift with a bloody haze.

The Demon Suppression Army’s cooperation was very close, and their combined combat methods completely suppressed the group of Blood sucking Marauders.

Tai Gu Town was in chaos.

Everyone wanted to rush out of Tai Gu Town, but outside, there were also Demon Suppression Army soldiers stationed, killing anyone who came out… “Long—!”

A Dragon roar echoed, a white Dragon materialized, and brilliant divine light shone forth. In the next breath, a divine golden seal materialized, directly hitting Blood Devil Taoist.

“Boom—!!”

The ground shook, and the earth cracked.

Struck head-on by the Sky Dragon Suppressing Prison, Blood Devil Taoist was completely on his last breath.

“Whoosh—!”

A fiery red long spear pierced through the air, descending with a speed that surpassed everything, instantly piercing through Blood Devil Taoist’s head.

“Pfft—”

With one spear piercing through, Blood Devil Taoist’s last trace of Aura was completely cut off.

A dense blood Qi emerged, flowing into his body, and Han Li instantly sealed the blood Qi.

Han Li also unceremoniously took Blood Devil Taoist’s cosmos ring into his possession.

“Brother Bai, I’m going to support the others and deal with the remaining Blood sucking Marauders!”

Han Li’s voice came. By the time Bai Yi recovered, Han Li had already vanished without a trace.

“Is this guy… truly human? How can he be so abnormal?!”

Looking in the direction Han Li disappeared, Bai Yi’s heart surged with stormy waves.

After killing Blood Devil Taoist, Han Li was still full of vigor.

It seemed he hadn't expended much energy.

His own True Qi was already seventy to eighty percent depleted. In comparison, this guy was completely superhuman… “Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!”

Streaks of sword shadows split and shot out, accurately piercing through the bodies of every Blood sucking Marauders,Piercing the body，Took away life，Blood and energy from all directions rushed into the body，Han LiInstantly seal blood and qi.

With his cooperation, the remaining Blood sucking Marauders did not escape; all were annihilated.

Over a hundred Blood sucking Marauders died by his hand alone.

Vein Opening Realm and Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists could not withstand his Divine Ability sword shadows.

All were annihilated, not one left alive.

The smell of blood enveloped the entire Tai Gu Town.

Han Li's rampage also made many Demon Suppression Army soldiers look sideways.

This burly young man was exceptionally fierce.

Fortunately, he was on their side.

Otherwise, such a formidable foe would be a headache.

—

Tai Gu Town, central, in a courtyard.

Han Li, Bai Yi, and a few others appeared here.

Also present was the Commander of this Demon Suppression Army unit, named Yang Lin, who was also an Innate expert.

The group rested in the courtyard, and Bai Yi gave a brief introduction.

When Yang Lin learned that Han Li was not from the Demon Suppression Division, he was surprised.

“Is Brother Han truly not from the Demon Suppression Division?” Yang Lin looked at Bai Yi with a surprised expression.

“Yes, he’s my friend, here to help me,” Bai Yi nodded.

Hearing this, Yang Lin looked at Han Li, excitedly saying, “Brother Han, are you interested in joining the Demon Suppression Army? I can recommend you to the Marshal. With Brother Han's strength, becoming a Commander wouldn't be a problem.”

“...”

As soon as Yang Lin spoke, the others were instantly stunned.

Bai Yi and Xu Shaoqiu looked at him, their eyes wide.

Good heavens, aren't you a bit too eager?

Hearing this, Han Li was also startled for a moment, then said, “Thank you for your kind offer, Commander Yang, but I don’t know how to lead troops in battle. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be a good fit for the Demon Suppression Army.”

However, hearing this, Yang Lin smiled and said, “Warfare is learned, no one is born knowing it. This can be trained. Brother Han’s strength is so profound; if you serve the court, you will surely reach a higher level and shine.”

“I’m afraid my School wouldn’t agree,” Han Li shook his head, politely refusing.

“May I ask which School Brother Han comes from?” Yang Lin asked curiously.

“Qingyuan Sect,” Han Li replied.

“Qingyuan Sect, that’s perfect! Our Demon Suppression Army’s Marshal and Qingyuan Sect’s Sect Master, Ye Tianqing, know each other. We can talk about it,” Yang Lin said.

Han Li: “...”

“I say, Commander Yang, do you have to make him say it explicitly?” At this moment, Bai Yi interjected.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Lin looked at Bai Yi.

“He doesn’t want to, why are you forcing him?” Bai Yi said indifferently.

“...Alright then, I was presumptuous,” Yang Lin sighed.

Looking at Han Li, he spoke again, “Brother Han, if you are willing to join the Demon Suppression Army, you can contact me anytime using the sound transmission bell. I guarantee that you will definitely become a Commander. Come, let’s exchange marks first.”

“...”

Han Li did not refuse and left his sound transmission mark.

Bai Yi didn't say anything either.

After exchanging sound transmission marks, Yang Lin immediately led the Demon Suppression Army to retreat.

“Brother Han, don’t forget, if you have time, you can come to my station for a drink.”

...Certainly.

Han Li nodded, watching Yang Lin and the large contingent of Demon Suppression Army leave, and he exhaled a breath.

This Commander of the Demon Suppression Army was very enthusiastic.

Those in the military are mostly straightforward individuals.

Han Li could understand that.

However, he had no interest in joining the Demon Suppression Army.

In the past, he might have been willing, but now, he didn't want any more restrictions.

It was better to be free and unfettered.

Although he was a member of the Qingyuan Sect, there were no real restrictions.

But becoming part of the Demon Suppression Army would be different.

Sects allowed for a more 'free-range' approach, while the army was centralized with strict regulations... As he watched the Demon Suppression Army leave, Bai Yi, who was beside him, looked at Han Li.

“Brother Han, I truly must thank you this time,” Bai Yi said with a bright smile.

“You're welcome. Exterminating demons and devils is our Martial Artist’s inescapable duty.”

Han Li smiled.

This battle brought immense gains in vital Qi; even cultivating the second Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo wouldn't be a problem.

“Brother Han has such a forthright personality. I’ve decided you’re my friend,” Bai Yi laughed heartily.

“Brother Bai, what are your plans next?” Han Li asked.

“Now that the Blood sucking Marauders issue is resolved, I must return to the capital to report,” Bai Yi replied.

“Brother Han, what about you?” Bai Yi asked, looking at Han Li.

“I’m planning a trip to Dark City,” Han Li said.

“Dark City!”

Bai Yi's gaze sharpened.

Looking at Han Li, his expression was solemn.

“Brother Han, it’s not that I’m being nosy, but Dark City is an extremely chaotic place, one of the most chaotic in Youzhou, if not the most.”

Han Li nodded: “I understand. I’m just going there to gain some experience.”

“Alright then, just be careful,” Bai Yi nodded.

“It's getting late, Brother Bai, let us part ways here,” Han Li said.

Bai Yi nodded, then took out a token and handed it to Han Li.

Han Li's gaze fell upon the token before him.

It was black, with a sheen.

It was cast from dark gold, with a dragon pattern carved on the front, and two characters: Demon Suppression!

“Junior Brother, this is a Demon Suppression Token. If necessary, you can use this token to mobilize local official forces to assist you. It can be used anywhere within the Wu Dynasty, across all nine prefectures,” Bai Yi explained.

“This... Brother Bai, this token is too valuable,” Han Li shook his head.

Bai Yi smiled and said, “If I give it to you, just take it. I don’t take back things I’ve given away. Keep it; perhaps it will be useful in the future. Your assistance this time made it much easier to deal with the Blood sucking Marauders, so consider this my token of gratitude to you.”

...Thank you, Brother Bai. Then I will accept it without further politeness.

Being able to mobilize the official forces across the nine prefectures, this token indeed had great utility.

Seeing this, Xu Shaoqiu, who was standing by, widened his eyes but did not interject.

Bai Yi's decision was not something he could interfere with.

“It's getting late, Brother Bai, I’ll take my leave now,” Han Li said.

Bai Yi nodded: “Alright, remember to come to Wu Capital in the future. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied then.”

“Farewell!”

Han Li clasped his fists, then his figure moved, instantly soaring into the sky, flying into the Void Realm, and soon disappeared from their sight.

“Commander, giving him the Demon Suppression Token directly, wasn’t that a bit too valuable?” Xu Shaoqiu said after Han Li left.

“Do you have an opinion?” Bai Yi looked at Xu Shaoqiu beside him.

“...This subordinate did not mean that,” Xu Shaoqiu lowered his head.

“What do you think of him?”

Bai Yi said indifferently.

Xu Shaoqiu looked up in the direction Han Li had disappeared, pondered for a moment, and said, “Han Li is incredibly strong, and he’s a very good person. His potential is limitless; in the future, he might become a true powerhouse.”

“You are right.”

Bai Yi nodded.

“Moreover, this person is also my cousin’s Junior Brother. By giving him the Demon Suppression Token, I can deepen our relationship,” Bai Yi said.

“But... Commander, this Demon Suppression Token of yours was a gift from the Supervisor. This... won't there be any issues?” Xu Shaoqiu looked at Bai Yi.

“My things, I can give them to whoever I want,” Bai Yi said indifferently.

...This subordinate spoke too much.

“Alright, stop talking nonsense. Let’s return to the capital to report,” Bai Yi said.

Immediately, he revealed a flying boat. The three of them stepped onto the flying boat, then soared into the sky, disappearing from sight... Night fell, and the bright moon ascended.

Youzhou, Bei You County, a desolate area. Outside a ruined mountain god temple in the wilderness, a figure approached from afar.

It was Han Li.

Perceiving his surroundings, Han Li then entered the abandoned mountain god temple, lit a bonfire, and sat cross-legged before the fire.

He brought out the Silver Armor Puppet to stand guard, then Han Li took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

An incense stick later, having refined the Medicinal Pill, Han Li's Aura returned to its Peak state.

“That’s about right... This surge of vital Qi should allow me to cultivate the second Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo.”

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, Han Li immediately activated the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art. With a thought, he instantly released the sealed vital Qi.

“Boom—!”

Vast vital Qi surged forth, and within his flesh and blood, sounds of Dragon Elephant roars echoed. Behind Han Li, a phantom image of a Dragon Elephant instantly appeared.

Concentrating the vital Qi and pouring it into the second Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo, sounds like war drums beating emanated from Han Li's body.

“Dong!”

“Dong!”

“Dong!”

His heartbeats vibrated like muffled thunder, and a visible light wave appeared around Han Li's body.

A large amount of vital Qi was absorbed by the second Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo, and the Dragon Elephant phantom image behind him became even clearer.

Within the golden, purple light bloomed.

Inside his body, the Dragon Elephant roars grew more intense, and a vast and majestic Aura permeated the mountain god temple... An incense stick's time passed, and a Dragon Elephant roar sounded.

A visible wave of Qi rushed out of the mountain god temple.

The bonfire flames in front of him flickered, suppressed by an invisible force.

The next moment, Han Li, who had his eyes closed, instantly opened them.

His eyes shone brightly.

His essence, Qi, and spirit broke through their limits at this moment.

Taking a breath, Han Li reined in his Aura and looked inward at the depths of his flesh and blood.

The vital Qi from four Innate First Realm Martial Artists, one Xiantian Second Realm Martial Artist, and over a hundred Blood sucking Marauders successfully allowed him to cultivate the second Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo.

Within his bones, the glazed color had reached three percent.

His internal organs, flesh, sinews, and bones all received an enhancement the moment he broke through.

His Physical Body strength greatly increased.

With the cultivation of the second Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo, Han Li's own strength also broke through to forty thousand jun of power.
