Chapter 934: Brother Against Brother
Feng Wuchen had only fled to less than two hundred feet away when a blurry white shadow caught up to him like lightning, reaching him in a flash.
An arm that was riddled with radiant profound acupoints then came swinging at him from behind with its fist clenched, and large sections of the nearby space became twisted and warped in the face of the fist\'s tremendous power.
Feng Wuchen felt bursts of immense spatial pressure converging toward him from all directions, causing him to slow down drastically.
He knew that he wouldn\'t be able to get away, and a desperate look appeared in his eyes as he let loose a wild roar and swung around to face Han Li, then crossed his two swords above his head before injecting all of his power into them.
Radiant starlight erupted out of the pair of swords as close to twenty star acupoints emerged on their blades, forming a pair of massive starry swords that were each several dozen feet in size to oppose Han Li\'s almighty punch.
Han Li\'s fist struck the pair of swords, and a loud crack rang out as the giant strry swords instantly shattered into countless specks of starlight, while the two swords themselves were also destroyed.
Feng Wuchen\'s body was like a wooden pillar that was smashed into the ground by Han Li\'s fist, instantly burying him up to his knees.
Han Li\'s fist then continued onward without pause en route to Feng Wuchen\'s head, and with the lower half of his legs embedded into the ground, it was impossible for him to take any evasive measures.Hence, he could only look on helplessly as a wave of dazzling white light washed over his body from Han Li\'s fist, tearing him to pieces just like his two shattered swords.
Only after Feng Wuchen\'s body had been completely obliterated did Han Li withdraw his fist with a calm expression.
Even if Feng Wuchen had stumbled upon some type of opportunity in the Great Ruins, there was no way that he could\'ve enhanced his powers to a sufficient degree to pose a threat in such a short time. He had no intention of killing Feng Wuchen, but the latter insisted on being killed, so he had no one else to blame.
Han Li was just about to depart when an intrigued look suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he turned to the spot where Feng Wuchen had been standing just a moment ago, then extended his hand into the hole in the ground before pulling out a pair of white boots.
The boots seemed to have been made from some type of special beast hide that was soft, yet extremely resilient, and there were a series of star runes and a crescent moon design etched onto each of the boots.
It was clear that these were no ordinary boots, and Han Li immediately took off his own shoes before putting them on, then took a step forward.
As soon as he did so, he immediately vanished from the spot, only to reappear over a thousand feet away.
Han Li faltered slightly upon seeing this, and he looked down to discover that a total of sixty-four star acupoints had appeared on the boots, glowing just as radiantly as his profound acupoints.
An ecstatic look appeared on his face, and he began whizzing around the hall in a wraith-like fashion, filling the entire hall with his afterimages.
In the next instant, all of the afterimages abruptly disappeared, leaving Han Li to stand alone at the center of the hall with an elated look on his face.
These boots were a star artifact that could both enhance his physical prowess and his speed. Speed was his forte to begin with, and with the assistance of these boots, his speed was elevated by over 50%.
On top of that, this was before he had even begun refining the boots. Once he completed the refinement process, their enhancement effect would only improve even further.
These boots were definitely a star artifact of a superior caliber to his Star Shield, and it was no wonder that Feng Wuchen had been so confident after obtaining them. Unfortunately for him, even these boots weren\'t enough to bridge the power gap between him and Han Li.
The more Han Li looked at the boots, the fonder of them he became.
He took a glance at the crescent moon insignias on the boots, then murmured to himself, "I\'ll call you Star Moon Boots."
After putting on the Star Moon Boots, Han Li\'s speed was greatly enhanced even without channeling his Wingform Ascension Arts, and even though they didn\'t allow him to fly, they were certainly taking him from one place to another far faster than before.
Han Li continued deeper into the altar through a passageway at the back of the hall, and the path ahead suddenly began to slope downward.
He continued down the passageway, and after traveling for around fifteen minutes, he was greeted by the sight of an even larger white exit. After passing through the exit, he arrived in front of a massive underground plaza that was riddled with buildings, stretching as far as the eyes could see.
It was quite a surprise to Han Li that there was such a massive area beneath the altar, and he took a moment to compose himself, then began to make his way through the clusters of buildings.
After traveling for some time, the buildings on the plaza gradually became denser and denser, and there was no lack of intricately constructed palaces among them.
Han Li checked through these buildings one by one, but didn\'t find any star artifacts or treasures inside. However, he did encounter some puppets that were still intact, and he was attacked by such puppets on several occasions, but he was able to deal with them easily.
After searching for a while, he lost interest and began to accelerate onward.
Upon arriving above a circular, black stone palace, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, then gently descended onto the palace.
Immediately thereafter, he descended onto the ground and began rushing along the stone slab path toward a seven-story stone pagoda.
The doors of the pagoda had already been destroyed, and Han Li entered the building without any hesitation. From there, he quickly made his way onto the top floor before casting his gaze into the distance through a window to his left.
At this moment, there were four figures flashing back and forth on a white stone plaza over ten thousand feet away, and they seemed to be locked in a battle.
They were all moving quite quickly, so Han Li initially wasn\'t able to catch a clear glimpse of them from afar. All he could tell was that three of them were dressed in Puppet City attire, while the final figure was clad in a suit of white bone armor and looked slightly familiar.
A resounding boom rang out as the armorclad man was sent flying by a collective blow from the three Puppet City cultivators, and he crashed violently into a black wall that was over a hundred feet tall.
The wall immediately exploded into pieces, sending loose rocks flying in all directions, while the armorclad man fell to the ground. Now that he had come to a rest, Han Li was finally able to catch a clear glimpse of his features, and he was stunned to discover that it was none other than Shi Chuankong!
Right as he was planning to set off for the white stone plaza himself, one of the three Puppet City cultivators opened their mouth to speak.
"I never thought I\'d run into you in the Scalptia Spatial Domain, Chuankong. You delivered yourself right to my doorstep, so you can\'t blame me..."
The figure removed the black veil over their face as they spoke, revealing themselves to be Shi Zhanfeng.
This was certainly very much an unexpected sight of Han Li, and only then did he recall that he had previously spotted three figures among the Puppet City cultivators that he had felt to be a little strange.
However, he didn\'t know why Shi Zhanfeng had appeared in the Scalptia Spatial Domain. Judging from what he had just said, he didn\'t seem to have come here specifically to hunt down Shi Chuankong, so what exactly was his objective?
"Cut the chit-chat! If you want to kill me, then come and get me!" Shi Chuankong said in a cold voice as he rose to his feet.
At this point, his suit of armor was already broken in many places, indicating that the battle had clearly already been unfolding for a while prior to Han Li\'s arrival, and it was clear that he was being outmatched by his three opponents.
"Still as cocky as ever, eh?" Shi Zhanfeng chuckled coldly, then swept a sleeve through the air, and other two figures with him also removed their Puppet City attire to reveal their true appearance.
One of them was a tall and broad man clad in a suit of black devilish armor, and it was none other than Du Yuan.
Du Yuan was the one that Shi Zhanfeng had entrusted to investigate the Scalptia Spatial Domain, and the fact that he was still by Shi Zhanfeng\'s side clearly indicated that he was a very trusted subordinate.
The other figure was a petite and extremely beautiful woman whose looks weren\'t inferior in the slightest compared with the twin sisters that had been sent to kill Shi Chuankong in the past, and she was clearly also one of Shi Zhanfeng\'s close subordinates.
The two of them rushed forward in unison with starpower surging out of their bodies, and each of them had exactly 156 profound acupoints.
The woman was small, but extremely fast, and even though she and Du Yuan had sprung into action at the same time, she was able to reach Shi Chuankong several seconds ahead of him, following which a bone whip shot out of her sleeve before pouncing at Shi Chuankong\'s glabella like a spirit snake.
Shi Chuankong let loose a loud roar as he retaliated with his bone saber, and dozens of star acupoints lit up over its blade, forming a radiant, white saber projection that swept through the air with tremendous power.
The bone whip was longer and slightly faster than his bone saber, so it should\'ve been able to reach him before his blade could strike the woman, but thanks to the additional length contributed by the saber projection, the blade of the saber was able to reach the woman\'s chest before her whip could strike him.
The woman\'s brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and with a flick of her wrist, the bone whip in her hand swung back to wrap itself around the blade of Shi Chuankong\'s saber, locking it into place.
At the same time, Du Yuan also arrived on the scene, and he threw a punch at Shi Chuankong\'s ribs from the right.
Shi Chuankong tugged back violently on his saber upon seeing this, using the bottom of its hilt to meet Du Yuan\'s fist.
A resounding boom rang out as Du Yuan\'s fist struck the hilt of the saber, sending violent shockwaves erupting in all directions, and the saber was almost wrenched out of Shi Chuankong\'s grasp.
He immediately let loose a loud roar, and over 160 profound acupoints lit up over his body, and he was releasing an aura superior to that of his two assailants.
