Chapter 1278: Suspicious Retreat
"I should be the one to ask you that! Don't think that I can't tell that you're cultivators of the True Immortal Realm just because you've cleansed your yang energy using Three Lifetimes Water! Go back to where you came from, you're not welcome in the underworld!" the black-robed man replied in a cold voice.
"So this is the underworld," Han Li mused, pretending that this was news to him. "The two of us only came to this place by chance. Could it be that you're an underworld envoy that's been stationed here?"
"Looks like you insist on overstaying your welcome. In that case, you can both die here! Get into formation!" the black-robed man ordered as he pulled his spear off his back before pointing it forward.
As soon as his voice trailed off, the ghostly army behind him instantly arranged themselves into a pair of triangular formations. The auras of the ghostly beings within the formations were instantly connected together, and it was as if they had become a single unit.
The two triangular formations then transformed into a pair of enormous arrow projections that hurtled directly toward Han Li and Weeping Soul at an astonishing speed, reaching them in the blink of an eye while releasing tremendous wind pressure and ghostly qi fluctuations.
Weeping Soul was caught off guard and sent flying back by the fierce wind, while Han Li was able to remain completely unmoved.
His aura began to swell rapidly, and a golden lightning sword appeared in his grasp before releasing several hundred streaks of golden sword qi, forming a swirling pillar of golden light around him to keep the pair of giant arrow projections at bay.
A resounding boom rang out as the two ghostly formations were stopped cold in their tracks before being repelled back, but they managed to hold themselves intact.
As for Han Li, he was knocked back a couple of steps by the force of the impact before managing to steady himself.
Right at this moment, a black spear projection appeared behind him without any warning, piering toward his heart from behind like a spitting viper.
Another golden lightning sword instantly appeared behind Han Li, as if it had been waiting there all along, parrying the oncoming spear projections with another loud boom.
