Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

Chapter 73 Shadowy Assassination

"One for each of us, is that alright?"

Han Li said, looking at the two men charging towards him.

"it is good!"

After a moment of silence, the red-robed monk nodded.

He unleashed the fire-starting technique, his entire body enveloped in flames. With a flick of his wrist, a small, crimson seal spun rapidly, like a burning, heaven-turning seal, and slammed towards one of them.

At the same time, the man in the yellow robe made a hand seal and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, flying out with his dark purple longsword pointing directly at Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li remained unfazed. He reached for his waist and fired a dozen fireball talismans at the yellow-robed cultivator who was charging towards him.

"Little tricks!"

The man in the yellow robe snorted coldly, and his figure instantly became ethereal, turning into wisps of bloody light that swirled around before quickly converging.

This escape technique is somewhat similar to the Blood Shadow Escape, but its speed is far inferior, and its ghostly quality is incomparable to the Blood Shadow Escape. It can be said that the two have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Seeing this, Han Li remained calm. He released the Taiqing Dongxuan True Light to protect himself, while a small, hazy blue shield surrounded him.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely hot aura emanated, and the red mist, like a vast ocean, enveloped an area within a ten-meter radius, burning away all the bloody light.

A scream rang out, and the yellow-robed cultivator retreated from the range of the fiery clouds in a disheveled state, looking at Han Li with a face full of terror.

"Two magical artifacts!"

Seeing the two magical treasures surrounding Han Li, the yellow-robed cultivator's blood and qi surged. He immediately shouted and began chanting incantations while making hand seals.

The purple longsword trembled slightly, and streaks of dark purple light, like strands of hair, flew out and attacked Han Li fiercely.

Along with the dark purple beam of light came wisps of pure demonic energy. The moment Han Li came into contact with the demonic energy, he felt his internal magical power become sluggish.

With a wave of his hand, twenty-six golden flying swords flew out, raining down on the incoming purple beam of light like a storm.

To Han Li's surprise, the beam of light, upon touching the flying swords, seemed to bind all twenty-six swords firmly like tentacles, rendering them immobile no matter how he tried to control them.

"Hahaha, go to hell!"

Upon seeing this, the yellow-robed cultivator laughed loudly and waved his hand, causing his dark purple longsword to transform into ten sword shadows, which attacked Han Li from all directions.

Just as the flying sword was about to land on Han Li, the light shield formed by the Green Wood Shield covered his entire body. Then, Han Li used the Luo Yan Step, and as he retreated, his hands formed hand seals like wheels.

The blue light in Han Li's eyes had now turned red, and a faint fire lotus mark was visible in his pupils.

As the final hand seal was completed, several fireballs, burning like fiery lotuses, flew out and descended upon the yellow-robed cultivator. This technique was none other than the Divine Power of the Li Huo Sect, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire.

Red Lotus Karmic Flame is one of the signature divine abilities of Venerable Cang Kun of the Li Huo Sect. Its power is greater than that of the Fireball Technique. It can put the opponent into a burning state. Because of its ethereal and agile nature, it is extremely difficult to dodge. The higher the karma of the cultivator, the greater the damage it will cause!

However, using this method will also cause the user to be burned by the flames of karma, making it a ruthless move that kills a thousand enemies but also harms eight hundred of one's own.

Because of the Longevity Elixir and his own powerful physique, Han Li was not afraid of being burned by the karmic fire.

But the yellow-robed cultivator in front of him was not so comfortable. No matter how he attacked and dodged, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame was like a maggot clinging to his bone. Even when he used the Blood Light Escape Speed, he could not block it!

The scorching heat felt like being inside a volcanic furnace, and even the protective aura around me dimmed considerably.

"Break it for me!"

Upon seeing this, Han Li immediately shouted and unleashed his Sword Gathering Technique, transforming it into specks of starlight that merged into the Black Jade Heavy Sword. After absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, the Hidden Sword Qi was released and added to the Black Jade Heavy Sword.

At this moment, the Black Jade Heavy Sword shook violently, releasing a sharp sword aura that broke through the dark purple beam of light surrounding it and slashed straight at the yellow-robed cultivator.

Seeing Han Li's incredible abilities, the yellow-robed cultivator took out several pills and swallowed them to replenish his mana. He then endured the burning sensation of the Red Lotus Leaf Flame and transformed into wisps of blood mist, shooting away.

The Black Jade Heavy Sword missed its target and flew back under Han Li's control.

Immediately afterwards, with a flick of his finger, he shot out seven or eight balls of crimson lotus karmic fire, which burned towards the scattered blood mist.

With a scream, the yellow-robed cultivator was forced to reveal himself.

Han Li did not hesitate upon seeing this, and his Black Jade Heavy Sword split into countless parts, stabbing towards the yellow-robed cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, let's talk this out... Ah!!"

Seeing that he was no match for the other, the yellow-robed cultivator immediately backed down, hoping to buy time.

But Han Li didn't give him that chance, and directly turned him into a hornet's nest.

With the death of the yellow-robed cultivator, most of the items in the storage bag were also burned.

Seeing Han Li end the battle so swiftly, the black-clad cultivator was terrified. He took the full force of the red-robed cultivator's attack head-on and fled as a streak of bloody light.

Seeing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

The supernatural power used by the opponent was none other than Blood Shadow Escape.

The speed at which a peak Qi Refining cultivator could escape by burning his essence blood was far beyond what the previous person could match; his speed was even three points faster than flying on a sword.

If Han Li were to use the Blood Shadow Escape technique, this person would naturally not be able to escape his grasp. However, with outsiders present, how could he possibly use demonic techniques? He could only watch helplessly as the other party slipped away right under his nose.

Thinking of this, Han Li let out a long breath, calmed his mind, and then his gaze fell on the red-robed cultivator.

"Is Fellow Daoist Jiao alright?"

Looking at the somewhat disheveled figure in front of him, Han Li asked.

"Which sect of cultivators are you from, and how do you know Grandmaster Cang Kun's Crimson Lotus Divine Power?" Jiao Fei paused before asking.

"My name is Han Li, and I am a cultivator who recently joined the Li Huo Sect."

Han Li smiled, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said.

"Having just joined the Li Huo Sect, you already possess such supernatural abilities. Fellow Daoist, you must be Hao Le, the champion of the Ascension Tournament!" Jiao Fei said expressionlessly.

Han Li remained silent, looking neither agreeable nor disagreeable.

"I was investigating the disappearance of villagers, and these demonic cultivators should be the instigators of this case. It's just a pity that one of them escaped," Han Li sighed and said.

"It's no big deal that this one escaped. One day, I will wipe out all these demonic cultivators in one fell swoop."

Jiao Fei's eyes flashed, and a strong killing intent emanated from his body.

Although he didn't know why this fellow Daoist Jiao hated the demonic path so much, Han Li felt that this matter might not be so simple.

Even if someone cultivates demonic arts, it wouldn't warrant capturing so many mortals.

Now that we've alerted them, they probably won't act as recklessly as before.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao, do you know the specific origins of these demonic cultivators, and what their purpose is?"

On the way back, Han Li inquired about the origins of these demonic cultivators.

"The demonic cultivators who appeared near Tianxing City do not seem to belong to the three major demonic sects. Instead, they seem to be cultivators who practice ancient demonic arts."

"The other party seems to be carrying out a planned and organized robbery. There must be a master behind them, possibly a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Jiao Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Han Li remained silent.

A Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator possesses formidable strength, far beyond what a Qi Refining stage cultivator like him could possibly provoke.

"Of course, this is just my guess, and I hope I'm overthinking it. But after this attack, the other party shouldn't make any more moves in the short term. Fellow Daoist Han only needs to show the seized storage bag, and this mission will naturally be considered complete."

Jiao Fei said calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao, I met a talented young girl in Qingniu Town. Her name is Lan Xuan'er, and she has dual fire and wood spiritual roots. She is a beggar. If you are going to stay here any longer, please take care of her for me. I would be extremely grateful!"

"The dual spiritual roots of fire and wood are indeed very suitable for the cultivation techniques of my Li Huo Sect. Alright, I agree to this matter."

Jiao Fei nodded and said.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist."

Han Li originally intended to take the little girl back to the sect, but considering the harsh environment of the Li Huo Sect, which was difficult even for Qi Refining stage cultivators to endure, let alone mortals, he had no choice but to give up on the matter.

However, with Fellow Daoist Jiao looking after him, Han Li wasn't too worried.

Moreover, before leaving, Han Li secretly added a life-saving talisman to the other party. If they were in mortal danger, the talisman would activate on its own and could be used three times, which should be enough.

Thinking of this, Han Li clasped his hands in a fist salute and transformed into a streak of azure light, shooting away.
