His four Soul Skills were powerful, but his combat awareness was extraordinarily weak. He blindly relied on Soul Skills and Evil-Exorcising Divine Thunder to pile on damage, without considering how much his Soul Skills drained him. Had he never experienced a proper fight before? Had he never even participated in Soul Fighting?
As Lin Yuan thought this, Zhu Zhuyun had already been frightened out of her wits.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
The attendants with two or three rings from earlier were one thing.
But one of the Soul Emperor guards her father had assigned to her-it was unimaginable.
He had actually been killed so easily by a Soul Ancestor.
Killing an enemy across a gap of two Soul Rings and more than twenty Soul Power Levels-was this some kind of joke?
"All right, you have no further business here. If you don't want to die, get lost." Holding his sword in one hand, Han Li pointed it at Zhu Zhuyun from afar. "Get lost now. If you don't, I'll kill you."
He had no intention of killing Zhu Zhuyun. Otherwise, when Zhu Zhuqing eventually thought things through and realized that Zhu Zhuyun had never intended to kill her, but had instead been protecting her in a roundabout way,
there would inevitably be a knot in her heart when the two of them got together in the future.
"You..." Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful, alluring face flushed crimson with anger. Her chest trembled with her overwhelming fury and fear, tracing breathtaking curves through the air.
Finally, she glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who lay unconscious on the ground, and after hesitating for a moment, left.
There was no doubt that Zhu Zhuyun cherished her younger sister from the bottom of her heart and did not wish to kill her.
But if Zhu Zhuyun truly had to choose between her own life and her sister's, she would absolutely not sacrifice herself for Zhu Zhuqing.
Now, she could only hope that this killing star who had appeared out of nowhere had simply come to play the hero and save the beauty.
Otherwise... Zhu Zhuyun did not think about what would happen afterward, nor did she dare to.
Perhaps she was unwilling to see her younger sister suffer humiliation, or perhaps she feared Han Li would change his mind.
Zhu Zhuyun fled at an astonishing speed, disappearing into the depths of the forest in just a few flickers.
Watching Zhu Zhuyun move, Han Li did not rush to give the little kitty her "treatment." Instead, he suddenly called out, "Come out. You've watched for so long-are you still unwilling to show yourself?"
He noticed me? Lin Yuan frowned.
He was currently circulating both cultivation techniques within his body to conceal his presence. Never mind this Transmigrator with the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords Martial Soul-
even a Titled Douluo could not detect him without deliberately releasing their spiritual power to search for him.
Previously, while hiding in the bamboo grove on the mountain behind Holy Soul Village, he had used this very method to watch Old Poison and the others-a total of five Titled Douluo-pass overhead at different times without being discovered.
The man before him did not seem to have particularly strong spiritual power, so how had he discovered him?
Could he be bluffing?
With that thought, Lin Yuan did not rashly reveal himself. He merely continued observing in silence and raised his guard.
"You won't come out? Then I'll drive you out today."
His fourth and First Soul Rings lit up in succession. Empowered by the Giant Sword Technique, the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords in Han Li's hand instantly grew enormous, and he slashed.
A thick sword aura more than ten meters long tore through the air, sweeping over the bamboo grove where Lin Yuan stood.
Every bamboo stalk created by Lin Yuan's Martial Soul snapped wherever it passed.
Finally, it struck the cave entrance, cleaving the entire cave into collapse.
What terrifying power. Luckily, I've already refined the Black Jade Divine Bamboo. Otherwise, dealing with him in a moment really would take quite some effort.
At some point, Lin Yuan had appeared in the clearing below the cave, less than a hundred meters from Han Li.
Just moments earlier, as the sword aura was about to strike him,
at that hair's-breadth moment, Lin Yuan had used the Flash skill to evade the attack and swiftly reach the clearing, more than ten zhang from Han Li.
Still dressed in black with his face covered and a Veiled Hat on his head, he looked at Han Li and asked, "How did you discover me?"
"I imagine you must be someone the Star Luo Imperial Family secretly sent to monitor Zhu Zhuqing... What? Have you never heard of a domain? It doesn't matter if you haven't. After today, you'll be dead anyway. Dead at my hands."
At that moment, Han Li seemed possessed by Old Devil Han. With a sword in his right hand and golden arcs of lightning flickering around him, he bore some resemblance to Han Li just after killing Tian Ku in the animated adaptation of Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
Yet an amused expression appeared on Lin Yuan's face. If it was a domain, that explained it.
The Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were refined from Golden Lightning Bamboo. On the Douluo Continent, this thing would absolutely be the supreme king of all bamboo, and even of all plants.
Even the Blue Silver Emperor could assimilate plants within the Blue Silver Domain after reaching the Soul Sage realm and evolving the domain to its third stage. That went without saying for a domain connected to Golden Lightning Bamboo.
Three Soul Rings-yellow, purple, and purple-rose from beneath his feet. For the first time, he did not conceal his Soul Rings in front of someone else. Looking at Han Li, he said,
"Just now, to kill those lackeys on the ground and that Soul Emperor, you threw Soul Skills around without the slightest regard for your own expenditure. How much Soul Power could you possibly have left now?"
"A thousand-year Second Soul Ring. Could you also be..." Seeing Lin Yuan's Soul Ring Configuration, Han Li seemed to realize something. His pupils abruptly contracted, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
Lin Yuan wasted no more words on him. His First Soul Ring lit up, and a bamboo staff flickering with blue electrical arcs appeared in his hand.
The length of the Lone Bamboo Martial Soul's First Soul Skill, Lone Bamboo Throw, could be controlled, reaching a maximum of three meters.
The bamboo staff Lin Yuan created was not long, only about a meter, suitable for a surprise attack.
As he circulated the Heaven-and-Earth Technique and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula simultaneously, the electrical arcs flickering over the bamboo staff turned golden. At the same time, to be safe, Lin Yuan activated the Yellow Scale Armor for the first time, covering himself in a layer of golden scale armor resembling Old Devil Han's black Devouring Gold Insect armor.
With a fifty-percent boost to all attributes and the enhancement of two great divine techniques, Lin Yuan's speed was utterly extreme.
With just a flicker of his figure, he appeared behind Han Li and thrust his staff.
Han Li had already expended a great deal of Soul Power to look impressive earlier. Now, faced with Lin Yuan's near-Teleportation speed, he had no time to react at all and could only activate the Azure Essence Sword Shield to protect himself.
The two streams of golden lightning intertwined. The golden lightning produced by combining Lin Yuan's two cultivation techniques was actually no match whatsoever for the Evil-Exorcising Divine Thunder, and could only compensate for its disadvantage with quantity.
But that was only the lightning.
In every other respect, Lin Yuan far surpassed Han Li in his current state.
The bamboo staff wrapped in golden lightning was incomparably sharp. The instant it touched Han Li's Azure Essence Sword Shield, it knocked the shield flying.
Under the momentum of that tremendous force, the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew from Han Li's hand, and his body hurtled backward uncontrollably, finally slamming into a huge boulder. The Azure Essence Sword Shield shattered with a crash.
Suffering a backlash of Soul Power, Han Li abruptly spat out a great mouthful of blood.
