The moment Han Li finished speaking, the space around them changed.

As a yellowish dust storm blew in the void, boulders appeared out of nowhere. There were about thirty of them and they were the size of millstones, arranged closely together as they surrounded the flying boat completely.

Gu Yunyue’s heart skipped a beat. Before she could think properly about it, the surface of those boulders sparkled before they started to turn hurriedly and, with a howling pierce, they pounded at the flying boat.

The woman was shocked and reacted instinctively with a sword art. A black sword beam tore through the skies, immediately burgeoning in size to become more than a hundred feet long.

The giant sword twirled about and exuded a huge swath of black light as the light morphed into the vague shape of a dragon. Using its long tail, it smashed the nearest boulder.

There was a loud boom!

The boulder was barely smashed into pieces by the giant sword. However, the black sword was also damaged significantly as it spun and recoiled from the force as the glow on its surface diminished a little.

Gu Yunyue’s body trembled violently and she took a few steps back in order to properly stabilize herself. Shock filled her eyes.

The force of one boulder took almost everything from a Nascent Soul cultivator. Noting the dozens of boulders that were falling towards them rapidly, her heart could not help but turn cold!

However, right at this moment, Han Li’s calm voice rang out beside her.

“Protect the girls properly. Leave it to me.”

Gu Yunyue only saw a figure flash past her, and Han Li had already jumped up from the flying boat. His hands sparkled with a golden light and his body turned around as he sent punches out to the void around him.

Bang, bang! Loud bangs trailed from all around and all of the boulders appeared to be simultaneously hit by a crazily strong force as all of the stones broke apart like an egg.

“Humph, you are indeed a strength cultivator!”

A man’s cold voice trailed from the sky. His voice sounded hazy and made it hard for others to determine where he was.

Hearing the voice, Gu Yunyue finally regained her senses from the ambush. She kept looking around aimlessly, wanting to find the owner of the voice.

Hearing this, a scoff appeared on Han Li’s lips. He turned around immediately, snapped his fingers and a green sword beam appeared out of nowhere as it pierced a corner of the yellowish sparkling world, causing it to explode.

Boom!

A strong explosion occurred in the void and a man dressed in a black outfit appeared with a stagger. The person’s figure was on the buff and muscular side, and he had a squarish face and a short beard with surprise written all over his face.

“I didn’t think that you’re a sword cultivator too. With your Nascent Soul cultivation base, I’m sure you’re not a nobody since you’re able to see through my illusion. What is your name? Who is your master?” the man asked slowly, the shock on the man’s expression easing away very quickly.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. Dead people don’t have to know too much.” Han Li sneered.

“What a joke! I was only showing a little of my power, yet you’re so full of yourself already. I’ll vanquish you with my next move!” The man was deeply angered. He made a hand seal and yellow runes appeared on his body. His figure turned into a blur as he disappeared once more.

Seeing this, surprise flashed in Han Li’s eyes.

The array formation the mysterious man made was extremely weird. He had probably sunken into a deeper part of the array formation and his consciousness was undetectable too.

However, Han Li harumphed and a golden hue covered his entire body. He planned to use brute force to break through the array formation and stop the other party from hiding anymore.

However, right at this moment, there was a sudden change.

The entire sky darkened and five giant figures covered with a black aura appeared, surrounding the flying boat.

Han Li’s pupils constricted slightly as the blue glow in his eyes sparkled a little.

Under the black aura, there were five giant ghosts about forty feet tall. If one ignored the pair of curved antlers on their heads, they would look like enlarged apes. They had short, black fur growing all over their hides, their faces green with sharp fangs while their eyes were bloodshot. They looked extremely hideous, but their expressions were rather simple.

In every giant ghost’s hands, they held onto a black mini mountain.

Compared to the five giant ghosts, Han Li and the rest appeared as small as ants.

Gu Yunyue’s expression changed immediately!

The auras of each of the five giant ghosts was above that of her own and a layer of cold sweat immediately washed over her forehead.

As for Liu Le’er and Yu Menghan, under the strong and scary combined auras of the five giant ghosts, they were actually unable to take it and fainted immediately.

Growl, growl, growl!

The five giant ghosts growled loudly as their bloodshot eyes gleamed with murderous intent. They moved their ape-arms, before they threw the five mini mountains in their hands.

The black glow around the mini mountains enlarged and the mountains started to grow the moment they left the hands of the ghosts and stabilized at about a thousand feet wide. The ghosts growled as they threw the mountains towards Han Li and the rest of the group.

Before the giant mountains hit them, there was already a scary and alarming pressure that washed over them. The area around the flying boat started to ring loudly as the wind blew past rapidly.

Gu Yunyue almost wanted to exclaim out loud. With her remaining bit of rationality, she frantically took out all of her magic treasures and talismans and used them to create protective shields of all colors and sizes over herself and the two fainted girls.

However, Han Li only furrowed his eyebrows as his golden hands sparkled before he casually waved them towards the howling peaks.

There were five consecutive earth-shattering booms!

The extremely strong pressure spread out wave after wave. The entire yellow space rang loudly, the crazy distortion growing stronger and stronger.

Finally, the yellow space could not take it anymore. With a loud bang, the space shattered and they returned to the desert as countless yellow specks of sand blew around them crazily.

Han Li’s strength caused a strong disturbance in the sandstorm within a hundred-foot perimeter of them and further reduced their surrounding vision.

Although the yellow space had been shattered and had now disappeared, the space was only formed via an illusion. The ground under them still glowed yellow as the array formation from before was still present.

The five giant ghosts were also still standing in the middle of the air, although their expressions were blank once more.

From out of the void, that man dressed in black appeared once more with a cold smirk on his lips. This secret skill of Five Ghosts Moving Mountains was hard to go against even for late-stage Deity Transformation cultivators, especially if they did not have any good magical treasures.

However, in the next moment, his smile froze and his eyes widened as he glanced below him in disbelief.

He watched as the five giant mountain peaks were stacked on top of each other like playing blocks and under the five mountains, Han Li was standing calmly in the void, looking extremely at ease as he carried the five mountains with one hand.

As for the flying boat under Han Li and the three women including Gu Yunyue, they were all safe.

Before he could react, Han Li opened his mouth indifferently and a ray of white stream poured out of his mouth.

The five mountains were blown away by the white stream, as if they were as light as feathers.

The surface of the mountains sparkled darkly, before they shrunk quickly and returned to their original sizes.

With one hand, Han Li flicked his fingers like he was flicking marbles.

Loud cracks rang out!

The five mini mountains were thrown back at the man one after another, the speed at which they traveled was incredible as they arrived in front of the man in a flash.

The man’s expression changed immediately. The black glow around him growing as he hurriedly moved downwards and barely avoided the five mini mountains.

With a tremble, Han Li appeared in front of the five mini mountains like a devil. With another wave, the five mini mountains immediately stopped moving.

He turned his body and stomped twice on two of the mini mountains.

The two mountains immediately morphed into two blurry shadows, falling like shooting stars. The speed they traveled at now was at least twice of the one they had when they soared into the skies earlier.

The two mini mountains dazzled darkly, their size growing once more as they became two giant mountains in the blink of an eye. The sharp howling that came with it also became a scary ringing noise.

One of the mountains pounded downwards, while the other flew towards the man dressed in black.

There was a loud bang!

The former crashed on the yellow array formation mark.

The array formation immediately glowed dazzlingly bright as it tried to resist the force, but it was shattered by the giant and alarming pressure. With the array formation broken, the flying boat immediately regained its freedom. A strong gust of wind suddenly blew from behind them and the flying boat blasted forward.

As the other mountain flew towards the man, the man realized that he was being chased even before he touched the ground.

The man was immediately alarmed as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was covered with a bloody red glow and with a twist of his body, he turned into the shape of a snake before he flew out, his speed increasing exponentially.

Boom!

The black giant mountain landed on the ground and caused a mini dust storm.

The moment the giant mountain landed, that snake-shaped glow flew away as it moved against the ground before reappearing about a thousand feet away. The man’s figure returned, his face already covered in cold sweat.

Before he could sigh in relief, a howl rang past his ears.

A shadow appeared over the man’s head and another giant mountain was falling rapidly. The moment he looked up, the giant mountain was already barely inches above him. It was too late to avoid it.
