Danzun War God

Chapter 188 Infiltrating the General's Mansion

At this moment, Han Qi no longer had any intention of escaping. He was determined to take Hei Hongkuang's life. He immediately turned his Xuan Qi out of his body, and his skin was faintly glowing with golden light, exuding a murderous aura.

Seeing Han Qi's murderous aura, Hei Hongkuang laughed instead of getting angry and said, "Hey, not bad, I've discovered that you're a treasure trove of knowledge, kid. What a fine set of profound veins, these are mine too!"

At this moment, a full moon peeked out from the horizon, and the surrounding darkness began to brighten.

Holding the Heavenly Wrath Divine Weapon, Han Qi felt the weapon buzzing loudly under the influence of his powerful Xuan Qi. Just then, Han Qi had a flash of inspiration and instantly sensed a set of sword techniques, which was the fifth move of the Nine Forms of Heavenly Wrath, the sword like a tidal wave.

Seeing that the Tide-like Flow and the Water-Born Curse were exactly the same, except that the scattered tides were replaced with sword energy, Han Qi immediately had an idea: what kind of effect would it achieve to use these two martial arts techniques simultaneously?

Han Qilian unleashed the Wind Chasing Step. With a single step, his figure transformed into a phantom, rushing towards Hei Hongkuang. Suddenly, countless sword shadows enveloped Han Qilian, and sword energy surged outwards like a tidal wave. Hei Hongkuang dared not be careless and retreated.

Suddenly, a stream of clear water appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a sweeping sword aura. The force was deafening. Hei Hongkuang once again used his Xuan Qi to protect himself and retreated, but he was ultimately slower than Han Qi's surging sword aura. His clothes were instantly torn to shreds. If it weren't for his Xuan Qi protecting him, his body would probably be riddled with holes.

Hei Hongkuang was immediately filled with fear. He pushed out both palms, and a powerful wave of light struck the water wall. He was also forced to retreat by the force of the attack. His eyes were filled with ferocity, and his face was extremely ugly. He had actually been beaten so badly by a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. If word got out, people would probably laugh their heads off.

But Hei Hongkuang immediately comforted himself. This young man in front of him had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm but possessed the martial arts skills of sacred artifacts and divine artifacts. In addition, he was a Skywalker. It seemed that it was understandable that he had been beaten like this. But at this moment, he had no fighting spirit and was afraid that Han Qi would take out some magic weapon to kill him.

Hei Hongkuang silently unleashed the "Clear Dream Without Trace" technique, and a large group of people marched over from the direction of Dingbo Lake.

Han Qi looked up and saw that it was Qing Meng Wuhen again. He assumed that Yan Potian had returned after setting up the formation, and he felt a little reluctant to leave.

Seeing the change in Han Qi's eyes, Hei Hongkuang was overjoyed. While Han Qi was still in a daze, Hei Hongkuang slowly slipped away and ran quickly towards the imperial city. As Hei Hongkuang left, the scene in front of Han Qi once again turned into fragments.

Upon seeing this, Han Qi immediately guessed that he had fallen into Hei Hongkuang's dream again, but when he looked for Hei Hongkuang, he had already disappeared.

Han Qi then sheathed the Heavenly Wrath Divine Weapon. The city gate was still deserted, and Han Qi finally felt relieved. Han Qi was unaware that the people in the imperial city had been terrified by the demon god, to the point that even the jujube wood was frozen solid. At the slightest disturbance, they would shut their doors and windows, and even at night they wouldn't turn on their lights.

Han Qi then composed himself and headed towards the mountains by Dingbo Lake. This time, he wanted to investigate the formation they had built by moving mountains.

However, Han Qi didn't take the original route. Instead, he took a long detour, entering the mountains from the side. There were indeed many demonic sentries, both overt and covert, around the mountains. Han Qi maximized his divine sense detection along the way, advancing slowly. He was afraid that if he were exposed, he would be surrounded, and if that attracted Yan Potian or other experts, he would be in serious trouble.

After nearly an hour of travel, Han Qi finally arrived at the mountain peak where the formation was set up. There were more guards here, and their skills were much better than those of the sentries he had encountered on the way there.

Han Qi shielded all his aura and released his soul to probe and sense the atmosphere here. Soon, Han Qi discovered that the airflow here was turbulent, and it seemed that the airflow emanating from the great formation on this mountaintop was echoing the other peaks around it.

Han Qi evaded the surrounding guards and reached the mountaintop. The air currents at the summit were significantly stronger than those below, making it impossible for anyone to stand. Even Han Qi felt as if he were about to be swept away by the air currents. With such powerful air currents, it was no wonder that the low-level thugs below were suffocating.

Han Qi stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, making a crackling sound. He closed his eyes and clearly sensed the flow of two streams of energy. Han Qi deduced that there must be two more formations like the one on this mountain peak.

Han Qi turned around and looked at the formation beneath his feet. He saw crystals scattered all over the ground, with golden runes flashing on them. Han Qi could clearly feel the moonlight flowing into the formation like water. Could this formation be able to absorb the power of the sun, moon, and stars? Absorbing the power of stars was not impossible, but the fact that the formation in front of him could absorb water was too abnormal.

In fact, Han Qi was not wrong. This formation relies on crystals to absorb the power of stars to provide energy for the entire formation. But with such powerful energy, what is the Demon Realm trying to do?

Han Qi looked into the distance and discovered that there were eight such tall peaks in the middle of the mountains, each located in a different direction.

Han Qi walked down the mountain with a furrowed brow when he suddenly heard someone talking.

"What exactly is the purpose of this grand formation?"

"I heard it's for teleporting troops. It was designed by the Demon Lord, but the Venerable One made some modifications. I estimate this formation will take a long time to complete."

"Sigh, so we brothers will have no choice but to live in this desolate wilderness. Just who is this Lord?"

"I heard from General Zhong Zimin that this Lord is a formidable character. I haven't heard about his background yet, but even Lord Face Demon Lord has to give him some leeway."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Han Qi had a sudden inspiration and immediately made a plan. His next step was to find Zhong Zimin and inquire about the Lord's whereabouts from him.

Next, Han Qi returned to the imperial city by the same route. Soon, Han Qi found the Right General's Mansion on the right side of the palace. At this time, the mansion was brightly lit, but it was not lively. Han Qi directly used his soul detection to confirm that there was no one inside, and then jumped in.

The general's mansion was very large. The place Han Qi jumped into was the back garden of the general's mansion. At this time, the garden was empty. Han Qi crouched down and slowly felt his way towards the front hall.

As soon as he reached the exit of the back garden, he encountered someone. Han Qi had been using his soul to detect the person, but he couldn't detect their presence. It seemed that the person was intentionally concealing their aura.

Under the moonlight, the man appeared imposing and masculine, suggesting he was of high status. Han Qi looked up at him and saw that he was also looking at Han Qi with curiosity.
