Chapter 113 The First Battle
Han Wei dodged, and a beam of red light pierced through the boulder behind her, shattering it instantly.
She looked into the distance and saw a gaunt old man with pointed ears, holding a cane and stepping on a giant moth, rapidly approaching her. The old man was covered in poison, and every time the giant moth under his feet flapped its wings, it released a large cloud of purple mist, which was also highly poisonous.
Han Wei and the old man started fighting without exchanging a single word.
There's no need for nonsense; we've come to this secret realm to seize opportunities.
The pointed-eared old man was at the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, and his spirit beast was also at the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, while Han Wei was at the early stage of the Integration Realm.
He hadn't taken Han Wei seriously, thinking he'd win her over quickly. But after a few rounds, he found himself at a disadvantage; his prized poison skills had no effect on Han Wei whatsoever.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Each time the old man with pointed ears waved his cane, thousands of magic arrays would unfold in the air, followed by streaks of red light shooting out from the arrays.
With a light tap of her finger, Han Wei sent countless petals swirling around her, each petal transforming into a cherry blossom shield that blocked all the red light.
Whoosh!
A giant moth appeared behind Han Wei, opening its enormous mouth and spitting out highly venomous sap. Taking advantage of the moment, the old man with pointed ears launched a vicious attack. His cane emitted a blinding red light and then transformed into a red longsword. The longsword shone brightly and burned with red flames.
The sword energy transformed into a terrifying hurricane, causing the surrounding peaks to collapse with a deafening roar.
Despite being attacked from both sides, Han Wei's expression remained unchanged. Her dress fluttered, and a giant ice lotus appeared beneath her feet. The lotus petals were pure white, with changing colors along their edges. Nine colors shifted in an instant, and as the lotus spun, it released an icy blue light.
The extreme cold instantly froze the moth and its slickness. The old man was shocked; this was…
Nine-Turn Ice Heart Lotus!!
I've seen the Nine-Turn Ice Heart Lotus before, but this is the first time I've seen someone refine it into a magic weapon. This lotus can absorb extreme cold energy. Ever since Han Wei obtained it, she has continuously allowed it to absorb cold energy, and now its power is like that of a top-tier spiritual treasure.
In the instant the old man was shocked, the sword energy he released, along with himself, was frozen by frost.
Han Wei flicked her wrist, and a crimson light shot out from her hand.
It was a nail.
It was the Blood Nail that Han Wei obtained from Chen Luoyan.
Before the old man could break free from the frost, Han Wei used the nail to pin down his primordial spirit. Then, the lotus flower beneath her feet vanished, and a Nine-Turn Ice Heart Lotus appeared in her hand. Han Wei threw the lotus, which struck the pointed-eared old man, who screamed in agony as his primordial spirit was frozen solid.
Then, with a loud bang, his body shattered into ice and snow.
The old man with pointed ears was killed by Han Wei. With a wave of her hand, a storage bracelet and a red longsword flew out from a pile of ice and snow. Han Wei took the bracelet, then looked at the longsword; it was a mid-grade spiritual treasure. Han Wei held it in her hand, removed the restriction, and put it away. Then she looked at the frozen moth.
The moth wasn't dead yet, so Han Wei raised her hand and killed it.
The wind dragon ring on her hand emitted a blue light, and the storm crushed the moth into pieces. This moth had been nourished by the old man with his life essence, and was connected to him in spirit. With its master dead, it wouldn't live much longer either, so Han Wei simply gave it a quick death.
After doing all that, Han Wei picked the Earth Flame Mushroom and ate it piece by piece. After finishing, she sat cross-legged in the void, her entire body enveloped in red light. Within her Wood Spirit Cave Heaven, a giant Earth Flame Mushroom grew.
The Earth Flame Mushroom was surrounded by various fire-attribute natural treasures, and these fire-attribute spiritual herbs together released a rich spiritual energy.
Han Wei's Wood Spirit Cave Heaven currently contains hundreds of thousands of different kinds of rare and precious materials, and her Wood Spirit Body is evolving into a Wood King Body. Once she evolves from a Wood Spirit Body to a Wood King Body, her regenerative abilities will be stronger, and her cultivation speed of the "Myriad Manifestations Technique" will be even faster.
In the distance, a dangerous aura is rapidly approaching.
Han Wei looked around and released her divine sense. She saw a sandstorm approaching from the horizon. Ahead of the sandstorm were more than a dozen cultivators fleeing. The cultivators all looked terrified. Behind them, in the storm, was a huge black shadow.
The dark figure was clearly a ferocious beast with four wings, a long tail, and two heads, emanating a terrifying aura of a late-stage Mahayana cultivator. This beast was called the Ghost Sand Sparrow, a primordial beast capable of stirring up terrifying sandstorms. It moved extremely fast and was inherently ferocious, hunting down any living creature that entered its territory.
Han Wei's eyes turned emerald green, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
You bastard!
Why are you running this way?!
The dozen or so cultivators who were fleeing in panic were all at the Integration Stage, and they were heading towards Han Wei.
While Han Wei was cursing, eight cultivators were swallowed whole by the ghostly sand sparrow. After finishing, the creature's divine sense locked onto four other fleeing cultivators, and even Han Wei was targeted. The moment its divine sense swept over Han Wei, her hair stood on end.
Without hesitation, Han Wei summoned the Thunder Chariot. Blue lightning crackled around her, and her five-colored celestial robes transformed into the Thunder King Armor. Wearing the Thunder King Armor and piloting the Thunder Chariot, she transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled into the distance, instantly escaping over a thousand miles away.
Although Han Wei was far away, the divine sense of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators covered a great distance, and all four Nascent Soul stage cultivators saw Han Wei fleeing. They were quite surprised to see her escape so quickly.
But there was no time to be surprised at this moment, as the enormous body of the Ghost Sand Sparrow descended from above, and two screams rang out from the sandstorm.
Only two cultivators escaped the sandstorm.
The two cultivators were a woman dressed in yellow, riding a spirit boat, and a brown-haired man wearing golden armor.
These two are fellow disciples.
Seeing that the ghostly sparrow was about to catch up, the woman in yellow hardened her heart and, glancing at the brown-haired man in front of her, struck him in the back with her palm. A huge golden handprint emerged from the woman in yellow's hand and struck the brown-haired man.
This attack did not seriously injure the brown-haired man, but it slowed him down. The woman in yellow, standing on the spirit boat, quickly overtook the brown-haired man.
The brown-haired man stared in disbelief at his junior sister, while the Ghost Sand Sparrow had already approached him. With a single breath, the brown-haired man was pulled by an attraction. He struggled desperately, but in the end, he could not escape the fate of being swallowed by the Ghost Sand Sparrow.
The woman in yellow had a ruthless glint in her eyes. "Senior brother, don't blame me!"
