Chapter 1144: Only Chance
Han Li paid no heed to Immortal Lord Miao Fa as he continued to examine the six mirrors while channeling his cultivation arts to ward off the glacial qi in the surrounding area.
All of a sudden, a thought occurred to him, and he raised a hand to summon the Essence Fire Raven.
He then cast his gaze toward the surrounding mirrors to discover that sure enough, they only contained reflections of him, but not of the Essence Fire Raven.
Looks like these mirrors that are formed by ice law powers are unable to manifest fire-attribute entities! Han Li thought to himself as he raised a finger and pointed it at one of the mirrors.
The Essence Fire Raven transformed into a layer of flame that wrapped itself around his arm before shooting out of his fingertip, burrowing deep into the mirror like a fiery drill.
The mirror of ice immediately began to melt, and its surface began to ripple like that of a disturbed lake.
"That Essence Fire Raven is very impressive, but it won't be enough to free you!" Immortal Lord Miao Fa harrumphed coldly as she prepared to descend upon Han Li from above, but right at this moment, the surrounding space abruptly shuddered as a slightly warm breeze blew over from the southeast.
Immortal Lord Miao Fa immediately stopped what she was doing as she cast her gaze into the distant sky, where a fiery red figure was approaching from the southeast atop a fiery cloud.
All of the clouds in her wake had taken on a bright red hue, as if they had been set alight, and the entire freezing air temperatures were beginning to rapidly rise again.
A hint of clear resentment and disdain surfaced in Immortal Lord Miao Fa's eyes at the sight of the approaching figure, which drew to a halt around ten thousand feet away.
"Ah, I wasn't expecting to run into you here, Immortal Lord Miao Fa! I'm pursuing a wanted fugitive on the Immortal Slaying List. Would you happen to have seen him?" Chi Meng asked as she feigned a surprised expression.
"There's only a wanted fugitive of our Nine Origins Temple here, and he's already been detained. If you're searching for a wanted fugitive of the Heavenly Court, then I suggest you go elsewhere," Immortal Lord Miao Fa replied in a cold manner.
"Well, it just so happens to be the case that the two fugitives are one and the same. Now that you've captured him, you can hand him over to me, and I'll inform the Heavenly Court of your contribution to request a reward for your Nine Origins Temple," Chi Meng said with a wide smile.
"I am the one who captured him, so it's only right that I take him back to our Nine Origins Temple for interrogation, and I'll hand him over to you once we've completed our interrogation," Immortal Lord Miao Fa countered in an unyielding manner.
"You're saying you've captured him? Are you sure about that?" Chi Meng asked with a sly grin.
Immortal Lord Miao Fa's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, and she noticed that a colony of red fire ants had suddenly burrowed their way out of the ground behind the wall of ice, and they were crawling over the six silver mirrors around Han Li.
The ants left behind trails of scorching heat in their wake that burned deep troughs into the mirrors of ice, and thus, a clash between fire and ice ensued.
Chi Meng's eyes instantly lit up with elation as she exclaimed, "That's an Essence Fire Raven that's devoured Rainbow Fire Pill Sand! I knew I made the right decision to come here!"
She immediately darted closer to Han Li as she spoke, and Han Li instantly felt as if his entire body had been plunged into a giant pot of bubbling oil, while his blood also began to churn violently through his veins as if it had been set alight.
His skin turned bright red, while his eyes turned completely bloodshot, and all of his sudden, his previously stagnant immortal spiritual power began circulating so quickly that he was barely able to contain it.
"A young man like you should be reckless and hot-blooded. Come, let me warm you up even more!" Chi Meng said with a wide smile as she made a hand seal, and Han Li instantly felt the surrounding air temperature rise by tenfold.
At the same time, a ball of radiant, white light emerged from under him, and it contained a projection of a Three-Legged Golden Crow with its wings spread wide and scorching flames surging out of its body.
Embroiled within the flames, Han Li was like a pill in a cauldron, unable to struggle free no matter how vigorously he struggled.
Thankfully, the Essence Fire Raven had formed a fiery, silver outer garment around his entire body. Otherwise, he would've already been close to ashes at this point.
Even so, he was still in a state of excruciating pain from the unbearable heat.
Right at this moment, a clear cry suddenly rang out, and a giant ice phoenix appeared out of thin air before flying toward him, sweeping up gusts of glacial wind as it flapped its wings to propel itself through the air.
The ball of fiery, white light beneath Han Li immediately lashed out in retaliation, releasing a fiery tornado to clash against the ice phoenix.
All of a sudden, a vast cloud of vapor appeared throughout the entire area in a radius of thousands of kilometers, severely impacting visibility while also drastically dropping the nearby air temperature.
"It looks like your Nine Origins Temple insists on opposing our Heavenly Court, Immortal Lord Miao Fa," Chi Meng remarked in a cold voice.
"I had already captured him, yet you broke the rules, so don't blame me for retaliating," Immortal Lord Miao Fa replied in an expressionless manner.
"Fine. In that case, how about we have a battle right here, and the winner gets to take him, while the loser goes back empty-handed. What do you say?" Chi Meng proposed with a smile.
"I was about to propose the exact same thing," Immortal Lord Miao Fa replied.
As the two of them were conversing with each other, the unrest in Han Li's body began to settle down, and much of the scorching heat in the air had abated thanks to the ice phoenix's timely arrival.
Despite this, Han Li didn't dare to relax even for a single instant, and he knew that this was going to be his only chance to escape.
