Chapter 691: Star Official

Han Li swept his gaze around the hall, then immediately flew toward Fox 3, who was locked in battle against Su Liu.

Immortal Lord Hot Flame wasn't all that powerful, but his golden mirror was able to slow down all attacks, providing immense defensive value, and with his assistance, Bi She should be able to hold her own against Chi Rong for now.

In contrast, Fox 3's situation was a little more dire, and at this point, all he could do was passively defend against Su Liu's lightning attacks.

Upon spotting the approaching Han Li, Su Liu opened his mouth to release a ball of five-colored light, which transformed into an antiquated five-colored cauldron.

A plume of five-colored lightning threads then erupted out of the top of the cauldron, and it transformed into a five-colored lightning net that descended upon Han Li.

However, right at this moment, a burst of golden lightning abruptly erupted out of Han Li's body, and he instantly vanished from the spot, causing the five-colored lightning net to completely miss its target.

In the next instant, a burst of golden lightning appeared behind Chi Rong, and Han Li emerged out of thin air without any warning before sweeping a sleeve through the air, releasing nie Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords that hurtled directly toward Chi Rong.

Chi Rong was very much taken aback by this turn of events, and a burst of crimson light erupted out of his body alongside countless crimson runes, which revolved above his head in a frenzy.

In the blink of an eye, a giant crimson shield took shape, and the nine swords came crashing down upon it with a resounding boom.

The crimson shield trembled violently amid an eruption of crimson and azure light, and it was able to temporarily keep the nine swords at bay.

However, this crimson shield was something that he had conjured up on very short notice, and it was already beginning to crack, indicating that it wouldn't be able to last much longer.

Chi Rong immediately attempted to flee the scene, but right at this moment, a large golden net suddenly appeared before him.

It was the same net that was formed by Han Li's interwoven time law threads, and it immediately ensnared him while releasing formidable time law power fluctuations that immobilized him in mid-air.

A cold gleam flashed through Han Li's eyes as he thrust a palm forward, and a giant golden palm projection instantly appeared above Chi Rong's head before crashing down with tremendous power.

A dull thump rang out as Chi Rong's body exploded, but not into flesh and blood. Instead, it had exploded into balls of crimson flames that scattered in all directions.

Immediately thereafter, an ancient incantation rang out, and the balls of crimson flames converged in the distance to reform Chi Rong's body, except he was looking much paler than before.

Immortal Lord Hot Flame and Bi She had been completely dumbstruck by this abrupt turn of events, and only now did they snap back to their senses before rushing over to Han Li's side.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

"I don't think I've ever met a Golden Immortal like you. You're the first opponent that I've been excited to fight for the past ten thousand years," Chi Rong said with intense killing intent in his eyes.

Han Li paid no heed to this as he made a hand seal, and his nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords instantly transformed into nine enormous azure swords with arcs of golden lightning dancing over them.

A rumbling thunderclap rang out as nine giant swords hurtled directly toward Chi Rong, while the net formed by time law threads vanished into Han Li's time spirit domain, seemingly having concealed itself again.

Immortal Lord Hot Flame and Bi She exchanged a glance with each other upon seeing this, then immediately sprang into action as well.

The former chanted an incantation before sweeping his crimson fan through the air, and a resounding boom rang out as another fiery phoenix flew out of the fan before swooping down upon Chi Rong.

Han Li faltered slightly upon hearing this, and both he and Bi She refrained from attacking Chi Rong for now.

Right at this moment, an urgent voice rang out from afar.

"Oi, if you're not going to fight, then can I get some help over here?"

Han Li turned in that direction to find that Fox 3 was in a rather dire situation, having almost been backed into a corner by Su Liu.

He immediately made a hand seal, and a large golden net appeared above Su Liu before descending upon him.

Even before the net had fully descended, it was already releasing a burst of formidable time law powers.

Even though Su Liu had been fighting against Fox 3 this entire time, he had constantly been keeping a close eye on the other battle as well, so he was already aware of just how powerful the golden net was.

In response, he quickly made a hand seal, and the five-colored cauldron beside him instantly rose up into the air, following which a plume of five-colored lightning threads erupted forth from within, forming a net of lightning.

The two nets clashed, and the lightning net and the five-colored cauldron were instantly immobilized, but the golden net was also kept at bay for an instant.

Taking advantage of this brief window of opportunity, Su Liu shot forth to the side as an arc of five-colored lightning, appearing several hundred feet away just an instant later.

Fox 3 hurriedly flew back in retreat to open up some distance between them, while Chi Rong said, "Hold on a second, Fellow Daoist Su Liu, I have some things that I want to ask them."

Su Liu took a glance at the golden net, and a hint of wariness flashed through his eyes as he obliged with Chi Rong's request.

"Master once told me that I had a senior martial brother. The fact that you're able to tame Master's Fire Age Fireflies means that you must be Senior Martial Brother Huo Zhuozi!" Chi Rong said as he stared intently at Immortal Lord Hot Flame.

"Who is this master that you're referring to?" Immortal Lord Hot Flame asked in a skeptical manner.

"My master's name is Qi Mozi," Chi Rong replied in a reverent voice.

Immortal Lord Hot Flame immediately shuddered upon hearing this, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Master is still alive?"

Thinking back to everything that he had seen in the ruins, Han Li already guessed that Qi Mozi was most likely still alive, and he turned to Immortal Lord Hot Flame with a peculiar look in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that, Senior Martial Brother? With our master's unfathomable powers, what could've possibly led to his demise?" Chi Rong asked as his brows furrowed slightly.

"This is... This is fantastic news!" Immortal Lord Hot Flame murmured to himself as tears welled up in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Su Liu was looking on with his brows tightly furrowed in contemplation.

Immortal Lord Hot Flame suppressed the joy in his heart as he said, "Our master must've been extremely fortunate to have survived the fall of our sect all those years ago. May I ask where he is right now?"

A peculiar look appeared on Chi Rong's face upon hearing this, and only after a long silence did he reply, "Our master is currently serving as a star official at the Heavenly Court."
