Chapter 965: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasure Chapter 962 Battle with the Flood Dragon Chapter 965: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasure Chapter 962 Battle with the Flood Dragon They were now searching a vast sea area west of Qiong Ying Island, tens of thousands of miles away from the island itself.
A few days ago, a group of cultivators had been sneak-attacked by a grade eight blue flood dragon in this very location.
Although they felt it unlikely that such a cunning beast would linger nearby to be exterminated, the Southern Sea Sect still sent their group to conduct another search, hoping for an unexpected find.
In the presence of so many, Han Li naturally did not fully extend his spiritual sense to avoid arousing the suspicion of the leading Nascent Soul cultivator.
He merely used his spiritual sense to cover every detail within ten miles of the sea’s surface.
This range was sufficient for him to detect any evil flood dragon’s movements well in advance and guard against surprise attacks.
More than a dozen cultivators advanced swiftly, flying through the sea area.
Although the region was vast, it only took them half a day to search most of the area as planned.
Yet, as expected, the group came up empty-handed.
“What’s that?” a cultivator flying in front exclaimed in surprise.
As Han Li was carefully scouring the sea for any signs, he heard the exclamation and looked up.
He saw a large expanse of monstrous clouds rolling at the edge of the sky ahead, spanning several acres, and slowly drifting in their direction.
“This is great.
There’s definitely a high-grade demon beast inside, don’t let her get away,” a wave of commotion instantly stirred among the crowd as a cultivator shouted excitedly.

“Something’s not right.
Those evil flood dragons usually flee as soon as they see us, so why would they approach us now?
There must be some trick,” Another cultivator, more cautious by nature, hesitated and said.
The Nascent Soul cultivator leading the team, a middle-aged man clad in golden-yellow robes, furrowed his brows upon hearing both remarks.
His gaze instinctively swept over the surroundings, and his expression changed dramatically as he hurriedly bellowed:
“Be careful, demon beasts are approaching us from other directions as well!”
At these words, the cultivators were shocked and thrown into disarray.
They each spat out their Daoist paper talismans, assuming defensive postures while looking around.
However, the distant horizon was clear, with not a shadow of any demon beasts.
Some cultivators exchanged glances, wanting to question the large man out of confusion, when simultaneously, piercing roars of flood dragons filled the sky.
Shapes of demon clouds in different colors emerged from afar, churning unsettly with the vague outlines of flood dragon bodies covered in fierce scales, rapidly closing in on their position.
What was most alarming, from the east and the west, were two clouds distinctly larger than the others and in striking blue and red, immensely vibrant.
“How could this be, two grade eight demon beasts?” At such a close distance, with the spiritual sense of the cultivators present, they could immediately sense the might of the demon beasts within the clouds.
One of them couldn’t help but scream, his face losing all color.
The other cultivators too, turned pale, eyes filled with panic.
Clearly, these evil flood dragons had somehow called forth another grade eight of their kind.
No longer satisfied with sneak attacks one by one, they were now seemingly intent on annihilating the entire group of cultivators.
Roles had suddenly been reversed!
“Don’t panic, send out Sound Transmission Talismans for help immediately, and prepare to face the enemies separately.
If these evil flood dragons gather together, their power will only be mightier.
Don’t think of fleeing alone; with the water escape techniques of these evil flood dragons, we will only be picked off one by one,” the mid Nascent Soul stage large man managed to keep his composure and commanded loudly after a stern shout.
Upon hearing these words, the hearts of the Core Formation experts on the scene steadied slightly, and immediately several sent out Sound Transmission Talismans into the high sky.
“I will take on one of the grade eight evil flood dragons; two of the more agile friends here, please go and engage the other for a moment.
You don’t need to go head-to-head with this demon beast, just delay it for some time.
The rest of you take on the seventh grade ones,” the large man then continued in a deep voice.
However, this time, the cultivators began to look at each other with hesitation.
Handling the seventh grade evil flood dragons was manageable; although most cultivators present were no match on their own, they still had some confidence in self-preservation.
But to ask two of them to team up against another grade eight evil flood dragon?
That was no joking matter!
Even in combat, how long could ordinary cultivators hold off against a grade eight demon beast?
“If two can’t manage, then three!” The Nascent Soul stage large man, seeing the situation, added impatiently, with some urgency.
No sooner had he spoken these words than a sudden swooshing sound rang out, surprising everyone.
A cultivator of unremarkable appearance suddenly emitted a soaring aura and transformed into a dazzling cyan streak, shooting straight toward the fiery cloud to one side.
“A Nascent Soul cultivator, and a mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator at that!” The crowd erupted into chaos, a mix of shock and elation.
The Nascent Soul stage large man was taken aback but quickly overjoyed.
Could it be that the Southern Sea Sect sensed something and had deliberately placed another Nascent Soul cultivator in their group?
Gripped by such speculations, with the demon cloud about to encircle him, the large man had no time for more thoughts.
After swiftly twirling his body, he too transformed into a streak of blue light, rushing toward the other side of the blue demon cloud.
Seeing a Nascent Soul cultivator fend off two grade eight demon beasts, the other cultivators gained confidence, turning into various-colored streaks of light and flying toward the remaining directions, intercepting the demon clouds along the way.
Before long, bright spiritual light exploded in all directions accompanied by continuous rumbling sounds.
Unlike in the other directions, Han Li remained motionless in the midst of the demon cloud, his body enveloped in a layer of faint violet flame.
He was surrounded by a sea of fire akin to purgatory, sizzling nosily.
These sounds, compared to the earth-shattering noises from the other directions, were naturally nothing much.
Meanwhile, a few dozen feet away, a half-human half-flood dragon demon beast coldly stared at him from within a column of flames.
Although the demon’s form closely resembled a man, its body was covered with fist-sized crimson scales that shimmered brightly, spewing jets of red flames of varying thickness.
“Indeed, it’s a Crimson Flood Dragon.
It seems my trip was well worth it.
A grade eight Inferno Flood Dragon, this is much stronger than the seventh grade I was told of before.
I suppose the scales on your body are also more effective, right?” Han Li suddenly broke into a smile.
“You’ve come specifically for me,” said the half-human Inferno Flood Dragon, initially stunned, then a flash of green light appeared in its eyes as it spoke with a slightly open mouth, revealing rows of snow-white sharp teeth that sent shivers down one’s spine.
Simultaneously, the surrounding columns of flame surged up by three feet, with its frightening momentum growing even more astonishing.
Despite its ferocious appearance, the flood dragon’s heart was filled with unease.
This human cultivator who had barged in was not only a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, but his Ice-Attributed Violet Flame was also profoundly unfathomable and completely unaffected by its Demon Fire, which had been cultivated over many years.
This had rendered most of its Divine Skills ineffective.
Moreover, for some reason, the sight of Han Li’s calm demeanor sent chills down its spine, giving it a premonition of impending disaster.
This intensified the creature’s anxiety.
“When I came, I heard that this place only had a seventh grade Eccentric Scarletflame.
Now that you’re here, that little guy naturally won’t interest me anymore.
But since you have already transformed into a humanoid form, I’m not particularly interested in killing.
How about this?
If you willingly part with a few Life Origin Scales from your neck and lead your group away, I’ll let you off,” Han Li said with a ‘Hehe’ smile, though his tone remained casual.
“Give you my Life Origin Scales?
You sure talk big.
A mere mid-Nascent Soul cultivator dares to be so insolent.
I’ll turn you to ash, and you can keep dreaming underground,” the Inferno Flood Dragon snarled in rage upon hearing Han Li’s words, as though its reverse scale had been touched, roaring thunderously.
Life Origin Scales were something the flood dragons carried from birth, varying in number.
But as the years passed, they infused a considerable amount of their base essence and Mana into these scales, making them second only to their Demon Core.
Losing them would cause their cultivation to plummet by more than half, naturally enraging the creature.
Fueled by its rage, the flood dragon rolled within the column of flames, and with a slight “puff” sound, the column scattered, revealing a seven to eight zhang long and few feet thick Crimson Flood Dragon amidst the flames.
It had cast aside its previous concerns and only wanted to rip Han Li to shreds and turn him to nothing with its Demon Fire.
As soon as the flood dragon revealed its true beast form, it opened its maw and spewed a stream of molten lava-like crimson liquid, shooting straight at Han Li.
At the sight, Han Li’s brows slightly lifted,
“Fire Transformation Fluid, it’s impressive that you could cultivate your Demon Fire to such a degree.
But it seems I’ll have to take care of this personally.”
As he spoke, Han Li did not dare to be careless.
He slapped the back of his head and a white crystal bead spewed out from his mouth, the Yin Ice Spiritual Treasure Snow Crystal Bead that he had refined.
The bead swooped out of his mouth, swelled in the wind, and turned into a bead the size of a fist, shooting straight at the flood dragon.
At the same time, Han Li let out a low shout, pointed his finger from a distance, and suddenly a melodious sound emanated.
A large amount of violet flame burst out from the bead, instantly forming a zhang-long Purple Fire Flood Dragon, with the massive Snow Crystal Bead held in its mouth.
As soon as the Purple Flood Dragon materialized, it darted forward without hesitation, head-on colliding with the Crimson Fire Liquid.
There was a great “hiss” as a mass of white vapor rapidly rose, engulfing them both.
Through the mist, it was faintly visible that the Purple Flood Dragon was using the bead in its mouth to spew out a current of violet flame, forcing the stream of fire liquid back.
Witnessing this, the Inferno Flood Dragon’s eyes revealed a hint of fear, but then ferocity flickered in its gaze, and its body shone with a bright red glow.
It let out a piercing howl,
The sea of fire around Han Li roiled with the howl, and a massive wave of flame, more than ten zhang high, formed on either side, pressing down on Han Li with furious intensity.
Seeing this, Han Li snorted coldly, rubbed his hands together, and gently spread them to both sides.
With a flash of violet light in his eyes and a clear, piercing sound, two Crystal Ice Peaks, twenty to thirty zhang high, emerged from the ground.
Icy violet light flickered nonstop on them, firmly blocking the fiery waves on both sides.
Just then, the distant flood dragon suddenly flickered, shrinking in size by several times, becoming only about a zhang long.
Then, it ceased spewing fire liquid and, with a “whoosh,” turned into a streak of red light shooting straight at Han Li with incredible speed, crossing a distance of more than twenty zhang in the blink of an eye, getting close to Han Li while raising its claws in an attacking stance.
It seemed the flood dragon, finding its Demon Fire ineffective, planned to rely on its strong demonic body to get close to Han Li and surprise him with a deadly claw strike.
