Han Li looked around, and apart from the circular platform with a diameter of five meters beneath his feet, the surroundings were directly the Abyssal Depths.
Only a slender path, less than half a foot wide, barely wide enough for two feet to stand side by side, led into the unknown darkness, and this was the only path leading to the outside world from the platform they were on.
Looking back at the others who were still recuperating, Han Li moved to the edge of the platform and looked down into the abyss.
His right eye emitted a faint red light, piercing through the darkness below, and the scene at the bottom of the abyss came into his view. At the very bottom, blood-red pools of water churned, as if possessing life, emitting a rich, energetic glow.
I really want to jump down and give it a try. If I could drain the energy here, I wonder how many Titled Douluos I could create.
Han Li's heart stirred slightly, but he suppressed the thought.
Not to mention the danger below, if he were to jump down, the Slaughter King would definitely jump out and fight him to the death, even if Qian Daoliu was there, it wouldn't matter.
What a pity, Han Li sighed slightly.
When he had the strength in the future, he would definitely come and take a walk here. So many years of accumulation, it would be such a waste to leave it untouched.
Burying his thoughts in his heart, Han Li walked back to the others.
Although the Hell Road had the effect of amplifying murderous intent, with the existence of the Blood Fiend Art, coupled with more than a year of time, the Spiritual Power of the others had also increased a lot.
Soon, not long after Dugu Bo returned to normal, the three women also opened their eyes one after another. At this time, the murderous intent could no longer affect them.
"If you need to take action later, try not to mobilize your murderous intent."
Han Li carefully checked the condition of the three women and instructed them.
The three women exchanged glances and obediently nodded. The feeling of murderous intent being out of control just now was really uncomfortable. No wonder the people in Slaughter City were all like that.
"Is this the only way?"
While Han Li was checking on the others, Dugu Bo also roughly surveyed the surroundings, his brows furrowed.
"It should be right."
Han Li shrugged, indicating that it was indeed the case.
"Then let's go, I'll go first."
Dugu Bo glanced at the others and volunteered to lead the way.
"Don't rush, let me test the rules here first."
Han Li stopped him, and azure wings unfolded from his back. After thinking about it, flames erupted from the soles of his feet in sync, directly lifting him into the air.
Just as he stepped out of the round platform, he summoned the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow. Under his control, the Soul Power arrow transformed into a thin line, one end held in his hand, and the other sent into Dugu Bo's hand.
Having made all the preparations, he was relieved to step out of the round platform.
One step, two steps, steadily standing in mid-air.
Then, Han Li's wings behind him shook, and he quickly disappeared from the others' sight, plunging into the darkness ahead.
After a few more breaths, Han Li flew back to the round platform, and the Soul Power thread transformed from the arrow dissipated directly.
"Let's go, this place doesn't prohibit Soul Bones and inherent flying abilities. I'll go first, Grandfather, you bring up the rear, Xiu'er, follow behind me, keep an eye on her, I'll take care of the danger."
Han Li said directly in an orderly manner.
"Alright."
Dugu Bo didn't insist. Since flying wasn't prohibited, then he had nothing to worry about.
With that said, the others directly activated their Martial Soul Avatar and walked towards the narrow path.
After walking for about three minutes, changes finally appeared ahead. In Han Li's Spiritual Power scan, a large group of lifeforms suddenly broke in.
The other four also noticed that Han Li's pace had slowed down a bit, and Dugu Bo also probed forward with his Spiritual Power.
"Do you need my help?"
He shouted across the three people.
"No need, continue, I can handle it."
Han Li smiled and responded, and as soon as he finished speaking, the Dualistic Domain rotated and spread around him as the center.
The buzzing sound grew closer, and the others saw a large group of blood-red bats rapidly approaching them.
Although Han Li said he could handle it himself, the others still moved forward, while also diverting some of their attention to the incoming bats, ready to provide support at any time.
It's somewhat similar to the Slaughter King, but I wonder if they are its descendants. Speaking of which, what about the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King? Is it also a descendant, or is it its mate?
I must ask next time. I wonder if that old bat has reached the level of a ferocious beast. Han Li even had the mind to daydream.
It couldn't be blamed on him, mainly because these bats were weak, too weak. They were simply all show and no substance. Apart from their numbers being somewhat decent, everything else was not worth mentioning.
Whether it was their blood-sucking ability, their ultrasonic waves, or the storms caused by their group flapping their wings, they always had a limited range of attack.
But after Han Li unfolded the Dualistic Domain, it almost directly covered most of the area, although this also caused the damage ability to be less concentrated.
But don't forget, his ice and fire element intensity is almost the highest in the world. In this situation, these little things, which were probably only hundred-year or thousand-year soul beasts, were being wiped out in large numbers under the alternating impact of two opposing high-intensity elemental energies.
Those with good luck could be frozen the moment they were ignited, and although they fell downwards, they could at least have a complete corpse.
Those with bad luck were directly turned into dust under the impact of the two extreme energies, and even the proof of their existence was erased.
They came aggressively and left in a hurry, which probably describes these bats.
In less than five minutes, Han Li annihilated the incoming little things while chatting and moving forward, without even needing to finish them off midway.
"Are we going down? What's below? Magma?"
Feeling the surrounding temperature getting higher and higher, Dugu Bo asked casually.
"Blood Pool, the accumulation of the Slaughter City for thousands of years. As for the temperature, perhaps it's due to the energy."
Han Li casually replied, then raised his left hand, signaling the others behind him to stop.
"Something ahead?"
Dugu Bo suspiciously used his Spiritual Power to probe forward.
"There's a big guy below, but don't use Spiritual Power to detect it, it's very sensitive to that."
Han Li turned his head and pointed to the lower side.
Dugu Bo then realized that Han Li had already activated all his Soul Bones at some point. It had to be said that sometimes, his Soul Bone effects were more useful than Spiritual Power.
"A big bat?"
Dugu Bo poked his head out and looked in the direction Han Li pointed, but saw nothing.
"Yes, the kind with three heads. Let's just deal with it here, to save trouble later."
As he spoke, Han Li had already drawn the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow.
Unlike before, Han Li this time actively covered the arrow with his Domain, hiding the Soul Power fluctuations on it.
Not only that, but in the surprised eyes of the others, the arrow became thicker and thicker, until finally, it was almost half the width of the bow.
"So troublesome? Or should I go down and deal with it first?"
Dugu Bo said, seeing him looking so imposing.
"It's not that strong, but that guy has three heads, not to mention its strong self-healing ability, it can also split. I'm just preparing in advance."
"Oh, the Slaughter King gave me the information."
Han Li added out of thin air.
Whoever believes him is a fool. The four of them rolled their eyes at him and said nothing.
After a few years of getting along, they no longer investigated Han Li's occasional prescience, just took it as it was.
"Alright, hurry up and do it, can you even call that an arrow?"
Dugu Bo glared at him unhappily.
"Single shot, it's just a bit thick, why isn't it an arrow?"
Han Li retorted stubbornly, then released his right hand, muttering in his mouth: "Eat my Magic Light Piercing Kill Cannon."
The three women in the middle couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle. Although they didn't know what a cannon was, it was obvious that Han Li himself didn't think his attack was called an arrow.
What arrived even before Han Li's arrow attack was his mental attack. The mental attack, accompanied by ice elements, simultaneously impacted the three heads of the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King before it could even react.
The Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King, which had just prepared to shift its position after sensing the mental fluctuations, suffered heavy blows to all three heads at the same time, and its thinking suddenly slowed down.
Enemy... where...? Its thought had just ended, and its thinking ability had not yet returned when a huge pillar of energy light descended directly from the sky, instantly enveloping all of its heads. After passing through its heads, it exploded instantly, and ice and fire elements swept through its body.
"Done, let's move on."
Perhaps because they were about to leave, Han Li became much more lively. He handsomely stowed away the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow and gestured to the four of them.
Looking at the two-colored fireworks that lit up in the darkness below, the mood of the others also improved a lot, and they followed Han Li in front with smiles.
After detouring for a long time, they finally reached the location where the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King had been.
Han Li searched for a while, but there was really nothing left. He had to regretfully carry Xiu'er and fly over the road broken by his attack, and continued to move forward.
The air became hotter and hotter. Gradually, even the people behind him could vaguely see the dark red flowing under the abyss on both sides.
The increasingly hot air made it very uncomfortable to breathe, as if their lungs were burning.
"This Blood River is not much different from lava. Without the Blood Fiend Art and the power of purification, I'm afraid that just walking here would cause many people who brave the Hell Road to lose control."
"No wonder you didn't just fly down with them, but walked along the road to let them gradually adapt."
Dugu Bo licked his lips; this suffocating feeling was not pleasant.
"Well, after all, in the past thousand years, only ten people have left here on their own. It's not that easy to obtain a Domain. After all, we took a shortcut. Walking through it once and feeling it more can give us some gains."
Han Li glanced at the three girls and, after confirming that their condition was still good, slowed down a bit.
In terms of combat power, the three of them are definitely much stronger than Hu Liena, who came out of Slaughter City in the original work, but similarly, their willpower is still a bit worse than Hu Liena, who would die if she couldn't get out.
However, Han Li felt that this was enough.
He himself is not a person with extremely strong willpower, and he doesn't like to sing praises of suffering. No one knows what willpower will be like until they are in a desperate situation. He prefers to simply crush with strength.
"Get ready. The battle later will be handled by you. Grandfather and I will cover you. Don't worry about the destruction of the road. We should be near the end."
Han Li said to the three girls behind him as he walked forward.
"Okay, no problem."
The three girls were eager to try, looking forward to what kind of enemy was waiting for them ahead.
