Chapter 970: Holding the Fort
Hei Da raised both hands up into the air as he spoke, and a series of flashing silver patterns appeared over the body of the silver panther puppet.
"This light barrier is too resilient for our puppets to break through on their own," Zhuo Fa said as he raised a hand to stop Hei Da.
"What do we do then?" Hei Da asked with tightly furrowed brows.
"Don't worry, our puppets may not be able to break this restriction, but we have another trump card up our sleeves. This must be why City Lord Sha left the Gold-Winged Falcon puppet behind for us," Zhuo Fa said as he turned to the Gold-Winged Falcon.
Right at this moment, a cold harrumph suddenly rang out beside his ears, and he let loose an involuntary cry of pain as he reflexively threw his hands over his own head.
At the same time, several translucent chains shot out of the array, reaching Zhuo Fa in the blink of an eye, yet right as they were about to vanish into his head, dozens of near-transparent thin threads abruptly shot out of his glabella before wrapping themselves around the oncoming translucent chains.
The translucent chains were instantly stopped cold in their tracks, but the chains were far thicker and more powerful than the translucent threads, so they were able to continue inching forward through the resistance.
However, this brief window of respite was all that was required for Zhuo Fa to recover from the effects of Han Li's Spirit Stun Thorn, and he leaped up from his giant wolf puppet before rushing away into the distance as he sneered, "Looks like you must not have much experience in facing us Puppet City cultivators in battle. Otherwise, you'd know that a spiritual attack of this caliber wouldn't pose any threat to us."
Hei Da also immediately retreated into the distance with Zhuo Fa, while Han Li made a hand seal from within the Weeping Blood Array, and his spiritual sense chains struggled free from the translucent threads before flying back to him.
After that, Han Li took a deep breath and continued to focus on channeling his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts.
During this brief period of time, he had opened close to thirty more profound acupoints.
