Chapter 1240: Corpse Severance Talisman
"There should no chance that he was able to survive my Cardinal Heavenly Lightning," Han Li said as he struggled to his feet, but as soon as he did so, he was overcome by a rush of feebleness, and his legs gave out from under him as he fell back into a seated position.
Lan Yan hurriedly rushed over to Han Li's side to lend him her support, but he waved her off and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm just a little overexerted, I'll be fine after some rest."
With that, he sat back down again with his legs crossed to rest and recuperate.
Lan Yan heaved an internal sigh of relief upon seeing this, and she remained by Han Li's side as she looked up at the already completely collapsed ceiling of the underground space. A ray of sunlight was spilling down from above, shining directly down upon her, casting a long shadow that stretched all the way to Han Li's side.
Meanwhile, Weeping Soul had just devoured the final bit of ghostly qi in the air before giving a pleased burp as she reverted back to her human form.
She then made her way over to the thick book for a closer examination, leaving Han Li to rest on his own.
Lan Yan was just about to approach her, but she had only just raised a foot when her body abruptly stiffened, and an incredulous look flashed through her eyes.
Somehow, she was moving, but her shadow remained rooted to the spot.
All of a sudden, a burst of black light erupted out of her stagnant shadow, and a figure sprang out from within, holding a sharp dagger that it was plunging directly toward Han Li's chest.
The figure was none other than Gui Lingzi, and this was such an abrupt turn of events that before either Lan Yan or Weeping Soul had a chance to react, the tip of the dagger was already no more than several inches away from Han Li's chest.
All the while, Han Li's eyes remained closed in a seemingly oblivious manner.
