Chapter 1165: A Second Scale
Qing Dian seemed to have finally identified Liu Le'er upon seeing the Featherform Scale in her hand, but his expression only became even more hostile as he turned his gaze back to Han Li.
"This is a friend of mine, so please let bygones be bygones and allow them to enter the city with me," Liu Le'er said as she stowed the token away.
A mocking sneer appeared on Qing Dian's face upon hearing this.
"I've always heard that your Heavenly Fox Tribe likes to entangle itself with humans, it appears that those rumors are not unfounded. This man has clearly come to our primordial land with some sinister motives, yet you insist on protecting him. Could it be that your Heavenly Fox Tribe intends to betray the primordial land?"
Liu Le'er's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but she remained calm and composed as she replied, "That's a completely unreasonable and unfounded accusation, Fellow Daoist."
She was well aware of how much all of the primordial tribes detested humans, so Qing Dian was clearly trying to turn everyone against Han Li by exposing his status as a human.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Sure enough, all of the bystanders' expressions instantly changed drastically upon hearing this, and some of them began observing Han Li through suspicious eyes, while some others were already glowering at him with open animosity.
Even Sang Tu and Yun Bao were looking at him with mixed emotions in their eyes.
They had been suspicious of Han Li's status in the past, but they had always been reluctant to acknowledge these suspicions. Not only was Han Li far too powerful for them to contend with, they also had no choice but to rely on him if they wanted to enter Primordial Garrison City.
On top of that, Han Li had just saved their lives not long ago, so they harbored a combination of fear, veneration, and gratitude toward him.
"Your name is Qing Dian, right? I suggest you keep your mouth shut if all you can spout are nonsensical accusations! How can you claim that I'm a human in spite of the true spirit bloodline in my body?" Han Li asked with a cold smile.
"Bloodlines don't necessarily have to be inherited. Humans often steal demon beast and even true spirit bloodlines for their cultivation, so just because you possess a true spirit bloodline doesn't prove anything. Also, you didn't display any reaction when she displayed her Featherform Scale, so it's clear that you have no respect for the True Spirit King, and that proves you're definitely not a primordial being!" Qing Dian sneered.
"I'll admit that your analysis is somewhat sound, but if I really were a human spy, then would I be in possession of this?" Han Li countered with a smile as he flipped a hand over to produce his own Featherform Scale.
"Another one!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"It's not a fake one, is it?"
"Could it be that he's also a trusted subordinate of the True Spirit King?"
Everyone was very much taken aback by what they had seen, including even Liu Le'er.
However, on this occasion, only a small number of bystanders extended respectful bows, while the rest looked on with suspicious expressions.
Qing Dian was also momentarily dumbstruck, following which he yelled, "That's clearly a counterfeit! There are only seven True Spirit King tokens in existence, how could two possibly just so happen to appear in the same place at once?"
"You really thought you could challenge me in strength? What a joke!" Qing Dian sneered as he withdrew his fists, and Han Li was unable to hold onto them, so he could only allow them to slip out of his grasp.
A hint of surprise flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this. Out of his Twelve Awakening Transformations, his Lightning Bird form was outmatched in strength by his Giant Mountain Ape form, but it certainly wasn't weak, yet Qing Dian had established a clear advantage in this regard.
Before he had a chance to ponder this matter any further, Qing Dian was already swinging a fist at his head.
A burst of silver lightning flashed over Han Li's body, and he abruptly vanished from beneath Qing Dian's fist, then reappeared behind him an instant later.
At the same time, an Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword appeared in his grasp, and he plunged it forcefully at the back of Qing Dian's neck.
The attack had come too fast for Qing Dian to turn around in time, but he let loose a thunderous roar, and the skin on the back of his neck suddenly turned a translucent red color.
A resounding boom rang out as countless arcs of golden lightning erupted in all directions, and a crimson halo suddenly surged out of the golden lightning before racing toward Han Li at an astonishing speed.
Han Li reflexively channeled his Reversal True Axis ability to evade the attack, and the crimson halo just barely glanced past him before striking the city wall behind him, causing it to shudder violently once again.
Han Li felt a sense of scorching pain from his shoulder, and he turned to discover that his robe there had been completely torn away, while the exposed section of his shoulder had turned a crimson color.
It was as if a layer of crimson lava were clinging to his shoulder, and it was slowly spreading to his forearm, having already burned through the True Extreme Film over his skin.
He then turned to discover that a hole had also been blasted into the city wall behind him, and bright, red lava was flowing down its surface.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as a layer of silver flames appeared over his hand, and he used it as a blade to shave away the crimson lava-like substance from his own shoulder bit by bit.
However, even after the substance had been removed, Han Li could still feel a type of peculiar power lingering in his wound there, slowing down his healing to a crawl.
"Don't try to best him in strength, Brother Rock! Let me help you!" Liu Le'er called out from afar, but Han Li shook his head at her, indicating that he was fine and telling her not to get involved.
Meanwhile, there was a hunch-backed elderly man standing on the city wall, looking down at Han Li with his hands clasped behind his back.
A formidable physical constitution and time law powers... Looks like this won't be easy for Dian'er...
The elderly man had a dark complexion, but a rather pale face, presenting a rather strange contrast. On top of that, his aura was extremely self-contained, making it seem as if he were just an ordinary, elderly mortal man.
Right at this moment, the space at the foot of the city wall suddenly became a little warped, and it appeared as if a layer of faint, red mist were permeating through the air.
Oh? If he's using even that ability, then it looks like this battle is as good as over, the elderly man thought to himself as a faint smile appeared on his face.
