Mortal: Transmigrated into Han Li, becoming a person with five spiritual roots

"Next group!"

The voice of the Core Formation Island Master echoed throughout the Demon Suppression Platform.

Han Li was already seated in the audience.

The stands were carved from gray-white boulders, and their surface appears rough.

In reality.

It is indeed very rough.

Han Li sat in the audience stand, looking around, but did not see any of the Qian family members.

A sense of doubt crept into my mind.

Perhaps something important has delayed you?

Han Li didn't pay much attention.

But for some reason, the words of the effeminate man in the restaurant yesterday suddenly echoed in my mind.

Han Li carefully examined the Demon-Suppressing Platform and the high platform not far away.

However, they found nothing unusual.

Let's wait and see. If things don't go well, then we can leave.

Han Li subconsciously reached for the storage bag at his waist, thinking to himself.

The seventh group of cultivators entered the arena, and the surrounding audience cheered loudly, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere, with no apparent problems.

"The seventh demon-suppressing battle is about to begin!"

"Close the gate, release the monster!"

On the high platform, another Core Formation Island Master with a sallow complexion spoke loudly.

Kui Xing Island has two island owners, one surnamed Gu and the other surnamed Wan with a mustache.

They are all in the early stage of Core Formation.

As the old island lord finished speaking...

boom!

The towering stone gate suddenly opened with a roar.

A white mist enveloped the black cave.

Immediately afterwards, a strange and piercing baby cry rang out, followed by a burst of crying and then laughter.

The people on the Demon-Suppressing Platform looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

Suddenly, one of the cultivators seemed to realize something, and his face instantly turned to extreme terror.

His figure quickly darted backward, shouting at the same time:

"Run! It's a Baby Carp Beast!"

Before the words were even fully uttered, a ghostly blue shadow flashed by.

A blue steel fork suddenly appeared.

puff!

It pierced through the cultivator's chest in an instant.

"what!"

Before the cultivator could even scream, he was swallowed whole by the demon beast.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at the monster's figure.

However, it was only three zhang long, much smaller than the previous Bone-Eating Python.

Its entire body was covered in dark blue scales, which flashed with a cold light.

What is most terrifying is its upper body, which resembles a giant infant that has not yet fully grown up, with fangs covering its mouth. When it opens its huge mouth, a piercing scream mixed with the cry of an infant comes out, bringing with it a strong, fishy stench.

They do look like a descendant of humans and carp!

"It's a fifth-tier demonic beast!"

"Infant Carp Beast!"

At this moment, everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Platform reacted and exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's not just fifth rank, it's already approaching sixth rank."

A middle-aged man in the late Foundation Establishment stage frowned as he looked at the strange infant carp beast.

"How can there be a demonic beast approaching the sixth rank?!"

A Qi Refining cultivator, his eyes wide with terror, trembled as he backed away.

The next instant, a flash of blue light, and the steel fork pierced through his chest.

The Qi Refining cultivator instantly turned into a skewer of flesh.

This drew cheers from the monks in the audience.

With a leap, the infant carp beast covered a distance of dozens of feet and arrived in front of the Qi Refining cultivator, where it drew its steel fork.

Then, his eyes shifted strangely, staring at the people in mid-air.

"Attack together, or we'll all die here!"

The two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators present exchanged a glance and shouted in unison.

......

On the stands, Han Li quietly watched everything unfold before him.

His brow furrowed slightly.

He felt increasingly uneasy about what was going on.

It has been a long time since we've seen a fifth-tier demon beast during the Demon Suppression Ceremony.

Without special methods, Foundation Establishment cultivators would simply be slaughtering fifth-tier demonic beasts equivalent to Core Formation cultivators.

It makes absolutely no sense.

Let alone a demonic beast that is nearly at the sixth rank?!

Could this be the reason why the man said he wanted to leave as soon as possible yesterday?

Han Li pondered, then hesitated.

With his record of killing fourth-tier demonic beasts, he has a high chance of getting into the top two.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you should at least obtain Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid.

Dust-reducing pills might not be a bad option.

But the scene today, though seemingly ordinary, appears to be rife with undercurrents.

Han Li glanced at the spectators not far away, some of whom were behaving somewhat strangely.

He began to ponder.

......

Fifteen minutes later.

Led by two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and with the cooperation of a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Finally, by using the formation, they managed to injure the Infant Carp Beast.

It left a rather deep wound on his body.

Roar!

The baby carp beast was furious.

Accompanied by a beast's roar and a piercing baby's cry, several black orbs of light, swirling with black mist and lightning, suddenly shot towards the Foundation Establishment cultivator on the Demon Suppression Platform.

"It's Water-based Demonic Lightning! Run!"

"what!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators used all their skills to desperately resist.

But this time it was far from as easy as before.

"what!"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the Water-based Demonic Lightning.

Before the scream could even fully escape, it turned into specks of blue ash, which drifted into the air.

The appearance of the Water-based Demonic Lightning completely changed the course of the battle.

Like a devastating blow, it instantly annihilated most of the cultivators.

A moment later, the last Foundation Establishment cultivator fought back with all his might, but he still could not escape defeat.

"well!"

The monks in the stands cheered.

Some of the monks even stood up.

It's crazier than ever before.

But the next moment, their smiles vanished.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several black water-based lightning bolts struck the defensive formations surrounding the Demon-Suppressing Platform.

Click!

After a crisp sound, the pale blue defensive array shattered instantly.

The infant carp beast bent its legs, attempting to escape from the formation.

"Run!"

The audience gasped in surprise.

"Don't be afraid, everyone!"

"This formation is connected to the protective formation of Kui Xing Island, and it cannot be easily broken."

At this moment, the island lord with the eight-character mustache flew into the air, and an array plate appeared in his hand.

As spiritual energy was injected, a blue light flashed, and the blue array barrier was instantly repaired.

"Gentlemen, follow me and slay this beast!"

Island Master Wan shouted, and a pale blue round bead emerged from his dantian, its surface covered with intricate patterns and countless engravings.

It was a magical artifact!

"go!"

Island Master Wan gave a soft shout, and the pale blue pearl spun in the air, emitting bursts of light, before shooting towards the infant carp beast.

But, at that very moment...

The back of the island lord.

A dark light suddenly shot out.

Island Master Wan sensed it quickly, but it was too late.

As soon as he turned around, a dark light pierced his chest cavity.

A cracking sound seemed to be heard.

"Old ghost, you..."

Island Master Wan's face showed an expression of disbelief.

His beard trembled incessantly.

He and the ancient island lord have served as the island lords of Kui Xing Island for over a hundred years.

Although the two came from different backgrounds, more than a hundred years had made them close friends.

At least, that's what he thinks.

But now.

This ancient ghost actually tried to assassinate me!

"Old ghost, why did you do this...?"

With his last ounce of strength, the island lord asked this question. His golden core had been shattered, and there was no chance of survival.

But he wanted an answer.

After all, we've known each other for a century!

"Old Wan, don't blame me. What cultivators seek is nothing more than immortality."

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for blocking my path..."

The island lord looked coldly at his old friend, expressionless, and drew the dark short sword that he had used to stab his best friend. This was a magical artifact that he had obtained by chance, and he never expected to use it on this day.

"I....."

Island Master Wan wanted to say something more, but his mouth was already full of blood, and he could no longer make a sound. Soon, the last glimmer of light disappeared from his eyes, and his cold body fell from the sky.

boom!

A muffled thud followed, raising clouds of dust.

A dignified Core Formation cultivator, with a lifespan of five hundred years, turned to dust in an instant!

......

Oh no, we have to get out of here right now!

Seeing this, Han Li no longer hesitated.

With a wave of his hand, the Azure Mirror appeared in front of him.

A faint blue light enveloped him instantly, and then with a flash of light, Han Li's figure disappeared from the spot.

call out!

A moment later, Han Li had already arrived at the edge of the Demon Suppression Platform.

But, at that very moment...

A slightly hoarse voice rang out.

"Everyone, sit down."

"Let's see who dares to leave!"

......
