Chapter 763: Severing the Second Lightning Chain

As soon as Han Li entered the purple lightning pond, the purple lightning pond instantly converged toward him like sharks that had smelt blood, forming a corkscrew-shaped pillar of lightning around him.

Thick arcs of purple lightning sprang forth to strike his entire body amid a string of thunderous explosions, and his skin instantly turned bright red, while profusely bleeding gashes were inflicted all over his entire body.

Not only that, but as soon as the purple lightning struck his body, his glabella instantly turned pitch black, and fierce killing intent welled up in his heart, while his eyes also turned bright red.

Bursts of tremendous baleful qi fluctuations erupted out of his body, and the baleful decay that he had just forcibly suppressed was rearing its ugly head once again.

A hint of lingering fear flashed through Fox 3's eyes at the sight of Han Li's struggles, and he was very glad that he hadn't entered the purple lightning pond.

Meanwhile, Weeping Soul also cast a glance in Han Li's direction, and a hint of concern flashed through her eyes.

All of a sudden, a series of true spirit projections sprang out of Han Li's body again, and they were far clearer than before.

These lightning ponds contained both destructive power and the power of rebirth, so all of his true spirit bloodline had been strengthened somewhat from the time that he had spent in the azure lightning pond.

However, that wasn't necessarily a good thing for Han Li as the enhancements in these foreign bloodlines placed more of a strain on his body.

Han Li took a deep breath, and he remained calm and composed.

After what had just taken place in the azure lightning pond, he already had some experience when it came to dealing with these changes in his body.

After taking a moment to compose himself, he immediately channeled his Spirit Refinement Technique, using his immense spiritual sense to quell the killing intent in his mind. At the same time, he channeled his Great Universe Origin Arts to protect his internal organs, allowing the purple lightning to travel through the rest of his body.

As bursts of formidable lightning power began to infiltrate his body, more baleful qi was expelled, and plumes of black qi began to rise up from his body before instantly being eradicated by the purple lightning.

At this moment, all of his immortal acupoints had also been filled with purple lightning, forcing out the stubborn baleful qi lurking within.

As the baleful qi was cleansed, the killing intent in his mind gradually faded, and his eyes regained their former clarity as well.

This process was clearly more painful than what he had endured in the azure lightning pond, but he gritted his teeth tightly as he withstood the excruciating punishment.

Fifteen minutes passed by in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Han Li's entire body was already riddled with wounds, giving him the appearance of a torn rucksack.

However, his eyes were tightly shut, and there was a calm and placid look on his face, as if he couldn't feel any pain.

Large plumes of black baleful qi continued to surge out of his body, but all of a sudden, the outflow of baleful qi abruptly slowed down.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he opened his eyes, then immediately flew up into the air.

The surrounding purple lightning instantly followed along, forming a purple lightning net that attempted to ensnare him again.

Han Li harrumphed coldly as he channeled his Reversal True Axis ability, shooting up into the air as a golden shadow, but the purple lightning net was far more resilient than the one released by the azure lightning pond, and he was unable to break free right away.

The purple lightning net shuddered violently as an opening was instantly sliced into it, and Shi Chuankong flew out of the opening before landing on the edge of the lightning pond.

He was already in terrible physical condition, and he had exerted himself even further by unleashing that secret technique, causing him to throw up a mouthful of blood.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately summoned a vial, then tipped all of the pills inside straight into his own mouth before sitting down with his legs crossed.

A layer of dark purple light emerged over his body, and his wounds instantly began to rapidly heal.

Only after a long while did Shi Chuankong opened his eyes, following which he turned to Han Li and Fox 3 with a wry smile as he sighed, "I came within a hair's breadth of dying in there."

"It's very remarkable that you were able to survive two Baleful Cleansing Ponds in succession. I'm very thankful that I don't have to go through this. Are you alright now?" Fox 3 asked.

"I'm fine," Shi Chuankong replied.

"In that case, let's begin," Han Li said, then flew over to the silver lightning pond before sweeping a sleeve through the air, and Daoist Xie appeared beside him amid a flash of golden lightning.

"I need your help, Brother Xie," Han Li said, and Daoist Xie nodded in response.

Han Li took a deep breath as he grabbed tightly onto the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber with both hands, then injected his immortal spiritual power into it in a frenzy.

Red light flashed over the saber as all of the patterns on its surface lit up, and it began releasing a tremendous aura.

Fox 3, Shi Chuankong, and Daoist Xie thrust their palms toward Han Li in unison, injecting their immortal spiritual power into his body, following which all of their immortal spiritual power surged into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber.

The red light emanating from the saber brightened even further, and the aura that it was releasing was also climbing steadily.

Layers upon layers of crimson saber projections emerged, and Han Li swung the saber down with all his might as he called out internally, "Lend me your power, Senior Shi!"

A giant crimson fox projection suddenly emerged from the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber, then pounced forward and vanished into the saber in a flash.

The immortal spiritual power of Han Li and the others was gushing into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber like floodwaters through a broken dam, but none of them were all that alarmed, given their previous experience in severing the azure lightning chain.

All of the countless crimson saber projections vanished into the saber, causing it to swell to roughly twice its original size before striking the purple lightning chain, which instantly began to tremble violently, while the runes engraved upon it glowed as radiantly as the sun.

The purple lightning pond erupted into a frenzy, and all of the lightning inside rose up to form a ball of lightning that sped toward Liu Qi along the chain.

However, the ball of lightning was only able to make it halfway before the purple chain was snapped under the saber.

The ball of lightning instantly drew to an abrupt halt, then exploded to send arcs of lightning flying in all directions.

Han Li shuddered slightly as a layer of purple lightning appeared over his body, but it only appeared for an instant before fading away, as if nothing had ever happened.

A contemplative look appeared on his face, while the snapped purple chain plunged into the lightning pond.
