Chapter 522: Joyful Reunion

Chapter 522: Joyful Reunion

The giant ape didn't panic in the slightest upon seeing this, and it harrumphed coldly, "Are you really expecting to fool me with such a weak illusion?"

It then slashed its giant green sword horizontally through the air, instantly unleashing a burst of tremendous force that swept outward in all directions.

The surrounding illusion was unable to put up any resistance as it was instantly eradicated, and the original setting re-emerged.

However, at this point, a pair of yellow puppets had appeared on either side of the golden ape, and they were no more than 100 feet away. Both of the puppets were glowing with radiant yellow light that was interspersed with bursts of formidable law power fluctuations.

The two puppets swung their arms through the air, and two balls of yellow light flew out of their bodies, transforming into a pair of yellow dragons that were thousands of feet in length.

The two yellow dragons wrapped themselves around the golden ape's arms in the blink of an eye, binding them into place like a pair of chains.

Right at this moment, the masked elderly man reappeared in front of the golden ape, while another white-robed masked figure emerged behind it.

As soon as the masked elderly man appeared, he immediately made a hand seal, and the nine golden flying swords shot forth once again, fusing as one mid-flight to form an enormous golden sword that was over 1,000 feet in length.

The huge white sword swept through the air in an arc, forming an enormous white sword wheel as it hurtled toward the golden ape while giving off a burst of law power fluctuations that were even more formidable than those of the white sword dragon from before.

At the same time, a burst of dark azure light flew out of his body before transforming into a massive hammer.

Balls of dark azure flames emerged over the hammer, and they were giving off a glacial aura as the hammer swept toward the golden ape.

Meanwhile, the white-robed man swept a sleeve through the air to release an inky-black wooden ruler, which swelled to over 1,000 feet in length in the blink of an eye before crashing down toward the golden ape with tremendous force.

A cloud of black mist was swirling around the giant black ruler, and it came crashing down like an enormous mountain, causing the nearby space to warp and buzz incessantly.

At the same time, the man opened his mouth to release a string of around a dozen purple beads, all of which were giving off an astonishingly fearsome lightning aura.

The golden ape was completely unfazed by all of this, and bright purplish-golden light erupted out of its body as a layer of purplish-golden scales emerged over its fur. At the same time, a pair of heads and two pairs arms appeared on its shoulders and beneath its ribs, respectively, instantly transforming it into a purplish-golden devilish deity with three heads and six arms.

The devilish deity grabbed onto the pair of yellow dragons that were wrapped around its arm with its four free hands, then made a violent wrenching motion.

A burst of indescribably tremendous power erupted out of its body, causing the nearby space to ripple and compress to an extreme degree.

A resounding boom rang out as the pair of yellow dragons were torn apart as if they were made of tofu, then disintegrated into a vast cloud of yellow mist.

Immediately thereafter, all of the spirit patterns on the devilish deity's body lit up, and the immortal spiritual power in its body surged into the giant green sword in its hand like a turbulent sea, causing the silver runes on the surface of the sword to glow several times brighter than before.

As the sword was swung through the air, it released a burst of mountainous interspersed with law power fluctuations in all directions, threatening to tear the very space apart.

A string of thunderous booms rang out as the two puppets, the white sword wheel, the dark azure hammer, and the giant black ruler were all sent flying like weightless feathers as soon as they came into contact with the almighty green sword.

As for the purple lightning beads, all of them exploded into vast balls of purple light upon contact with the giant green sword, and they were giving off bursts of formidable lightning law fluctuations.

All of the surrounding golden ripples faded away in a flash, and Han Li took a glance at Wave View City before quickly withdrawing his gaze.

Right as he was about to depart, the sound of applause suddenly rang out.

"As expected of one of the paramount laws. That was truly a formidable display!"

"Who's there?"

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he cast his gaze toward a certain spot, and a pair of figures immediately appeared there.

Much to Han Li's elation, they were none other than Daoist Hu Yan and Yun Ni, and he made his way over to them as he said, "I'm glad to see you're both safe and well, fellow daoists!"

"I can see that you're also doing just fine, Fellow Daoist Li," Daoist Hu Yan chuckled.

"When did you two get here?" Han Li asked.

"We only just got here, and we arrived just in time to see that impressive display! The five Golden Immortal Stage palace masters of the Five Extreme Vast Flow Palaces are all vastly renowned figures in the Northern Glacial Immortal Palace, yet they couldn't even put up any resistance against you!" Daoist Hu Yan praised.

"You're far too kind, Fellow Daoist Hu Yan. They were simply oblivious to my identity and caught off guard. If they had known who I was from the beginning, then it wouldn't have been so easy for me to defeat them," Han Li replied in a modest manner.

"Sorry for leaving you behind on your own to face Gongshu Jiu and Mo Yu," Daoist Hu Yan said with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Yun Ni didn't say anything, but she also extended an apologetic curtsey toward Han Li with a guilty look on her face.

"Don't worry about it. The situation at the time demanded for such measures to be taken. We're all alive and well now, so there's no need to apologize for such trivial things. You've always been a really straightforward man, since when were you the type to get hung up over these things, Fellow Daoist Hu Yan?" Han Li jibed.

"Well, you've certainly become a lot more carefree than before!" Daoist Hu Yan chuckled, while a smile also appeared on Yun Ni's face, and with that, they were once again just a trio of old friends enjoying each other's company.

"We almost died on quite a few occasions back in the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor, and the fact that we've survived is very much worthy of celebration. Let's have a drink! Yun Ni doesn't like drinking much, and it's been really boring drinking on my own," Daoist Hu Yan said as he swept a sleeve through the air to summon a table and some chairs in mid-air.

"So you're saying that you don't enjoy my company?" Yun Ni asked as her expression darkened slightly.

"Of course not!" Daoist Hu Yan hurriedly replied. "What I'm saying is that I don't enjoy drinking on my own. Of course I love having you around!"

Yun Ni gave a displeased harrumph and turned away to ignore Daoist Hu Yan.

An amused smile appeared on Han Li's face at the sight of their lovers' quarrel, and he sat down onto one of the chairs as he declared, "I agree that a celebration is in order. Let's all have a drink!"

"Fantastic! No matter what happens from here, whether that be the entire immortal region being swept up into turmoil, or the Vast Flow Palace reigning supreme as the only dominant force, none of that matters here and now. Today, all we're going to focus on is drinking to our hearts' content!" Daoist Hu Yan agreed as he also eagerly sat down.

"Seeing as Fellow Daoist Li is with us, I'll let you off the hook for now. Otherwise..."

Yun Ni's voice trailed off as she gave Daoist Hu Yan a cold glare, following which she also sat down.

"You really saved my skin there, Brother. I owe you one!" Daoist Hu Yan said to Han Li in a grateful voice through voice transmission, while Han Li merely smiled in response.New novel chapters are published on
