Chapter 1280: Stone Statue on the Bridge
With another sweep of his sleeve, the other thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords emerged as well, and they hovered in the air in a row in front of Han Li's trio.
The flying swords began to circle through the air at his behest, forming a lightning sword barrier that was close to ten thousand feet tall.
At the same time, Jin Tong had adopted her Gold Devouring Immortal form, while Weeping Soul had summoned her Infernal Ghost Claw and Soul Scattering Ghost Flute.
Before long, the horde of ghosty creatures was already upon them, and they came in all types of forms and sizes, and some of them didn't even possess any visible forms.
Their auras also varied drastically, with the vast majority of them at the True Immortal Stage, but there were also some Golden Immortal and even High Zenith Stage ghostly beings among them.
Due to their vast numbers, their collective aura was extremely fearsome, and they unleashed a collective barrage of attacks to rain down upon the lightning sword barrier.
The sword barrier instantly began to tremble incessantly, but Han Li remained completely unfazed as he made a rapid string of hand seals, and countless streaks of lightning sword qi shot out of the sword barrier to pierce into the ghostly beings' ranks.
Given the immense destructive power of Cardinal Heavenly Lightning and its extra potency against ghostly entities, none of the ghostly creatures charging at the forefront stood a chance, and they were torn to shreds amid a cacophony of agonized, ghostly shrieks.
However, the rest of them continued to charge onward without pause.
These ghostly beings seemed to have been quite wary of the black river, so they only dared to attack Han Li's trio from the front and the sides, and as a result, they didn't have to watch their backs.
With that in mind, Han Li was tempted to retreat over the river in order to shake off the ghostly army, but he wasn't sure if doing so would only place them in even more peril than they were already in, so he decided to adopt the safe approach and continue to ward off the ghostly army with his sword barrier.
