Chapter 977: Shi Zhanfeng’s Revenge
A grim look appeared on Sha Xin\'s face at the sight of the sword, and the four puppets instantly converged toward E Kuai at her behest.
Despite how massive the sword was, it appeared to be no heavier than a feather in E Kuai\'s hands, and he swung it through the air at the four oncoming puppets.
A fierce battle ensued, and a string of resounding booms rang out, causing the entire entire underground space to tremble violently.
E Kuai was revealing the full extent of his power here, and it was truly an incredible sight to behold.
Just as he predicted, the injuries sustained by Sha Xin hampered her puppet manipulation prowess significantly, and she was quickly forced onto the back foot, but she was still able to prevent E Kuai from reaching the holy remains for now.
Han Li was standing beside the holy remains at the center of the lake of blood, observing the battle between Sha Xin and E Kuai with a stunned look in his eyes.
Even though he had opened over two hundred profound acupoints in the Weeping Blood Array, there was still a massive gap between himself and the two city lords.
"Give the heart back to me, you human scum!"
Right at this moment, a furious roar rang out as Shi Zhanfeng came rushing at Han Li with a near deranged look in his eyes.
The hole in his chest had already healed, and a series of black patterns had appeared over his arms, giving off an extremely cold and violent aura.
On top of that, his speed had also been greatly enhanced, and he reached Han Li in the blink of an eye before throwing an almighty punch.
A vast expanse of black light erupted out of the palm of his hand, forming a black fist projection that was several dozen feet in size.
Han Li threw a punch of his own to oppose the black fist projection, and a resounding boom rang out as the fist projection exploded upon contact.
An unnatural flush appeared over Shi Zhanfeng\'s face, and he was sent flying back through the air, but Han Li was also sent stumbling back three steps in succession as a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.
That black fist projection had been imbued with far greater power than what Shi Zhanfeng had demonstrated up to this point, and it had also released bursts of strange, invasive power that were surging into his body, completely bypassing his True Extreme Film.
Right at this moment, the two puppets under Xiao Zi\'s control appeared above Shi Zhanfeng, and the winged puppet flapped its wings to send a flurry of blades of white light raining down upon Shi Zhanfeng, while the feline puppet opened its mouth to release what appeared to be around a dozen silver branches, each of which released a bolt of silver lightning that also crashed down upon Shi Zhanfeng.
A disdainful sneer appeared on Shi Zhanfeng\'s face as a translucent black film appeared over his entire body, withstanding the blades of white light and bolts of silver lightning with ease.
At the same time, he abruptly lashed out with both hands, and two giant blades of black light erupted out of his arms, sweeping through the air toward the two puppets.
An alarmed look appeared on Xiao Zi\'s face upon seeing this, but before she had a chance to do anything, the blades of black light had already struck her puppets.
In the face of the blades of black light, the two puppets were each sliced into two as easily as a hot knife gliding through butter.
Xiao Zi was astonished to see this, and Han Li was also rather taken aback.
Even though Sha Xin was still locked in battle against E Kuai, she had also been keeping an eye on the heart this entire time, and she called out in an urgent voice, "Xiao Zi, don\'t worry about Shi Zhanfeng, prioritize seizing the heart! Don\'t let it fall into the hands of that human!"
Xiao Zi turned to Han Li in a hesitant manner upon hearing this, but didn\'t immediately act.
A displeased look appeared in Sha Xin\'s eyes upon seeing this, and she quickly made a hand seal, upon which a series of golden patterns appeared over Xiao Zi\'s glabella.
A cold and emotionless look instantly appeared on her face as she swept her sleeves through the air, releasing a pair of golden balls that transformed into a pair of giant, golden humanoid puppets in the blink of an eye.
The puppets were clad in full suits of golden armor, and each of them was wielding a golden shield in one hand and a large golden sword in the other.
At the same time, they were giving off tremendous auras that weren\'t inferior by much even compared with Sha Xin\'s four symbol puppets.
"Please stop, Fellow Daoist Xiao Zi! I have no intention of claiming this heart for myself, nor do I wish to fight you!" Han Li hurriedly said.
However, his words fell upon deaf ears, and the two giant golden puppets launched themselves at him at Xiao Zi\'s behest, then swung their swords down upon his head with incredible power and speed.
Han Li\'s brows furrowed slightly as he darted over a hundred feet away to the side, and the two puppets immediately turned and sped after him without any hesitation before lashing out with their swords once again.
At the same time, they were also using their shields as weapons, blocking all paths of escape and retreat.
To compound Han Li\'s woes even further, Shi Zhanfeng was also pouncing at him from another direction.
A burst of dense black light erupted out of the palm of his hand, forming a beastly black claw that was over a hundred feet in size, restricting Han Li\'s options even further.
A cold look appeared on Han Li\'s face as he tucked the heart down the front of his robe, then lashed out with his fists in all directions to unleash a wave of white fist projections.
The fist projections fanned out like the canopy of a peacock, and a string of resounding booms rang out as each puppet was struck by dozens of fist projections in an instant, sending them flying back through the air.
The black claw projection crashing down from above was also shattered by Han Li\'s fist projections, but Han Li\'s body also shuddered violently, and his complexion paled slightly as he took an involuntary step back.
Right at this moment, Shi Zhanfeng appeared behind him without any warning, displaying far superior speed to before.
At this moment, his entire body was enshrouded in a layer of black light, and he was wielding a black saber that he swung down at the back of Han Li\'s neck.
Han Li\'s brows furrowed slightly as he suddenly fell forward, but his feet were still firmly rooted to the ground.
As a result, Shi Zhanfeng\'s saber flashed through the air above his head.
Shi Zhanfeng was clearly caught off guard by this, and he hurriedly tried to dart back in retreat, but right at this moment, Han Li\'s body sprang bolt upright again as he swung his right elbow at Shi Zhanfeng in a vicious strike.
The attack was too fast for Shi Zhanfeng to evade, so he could only raise an arm to defend himself. The black patterns on his arm lit up as it made contact with Han Li\'s elbow, and the clear sound of bones shattering rang out in his arm as he was sent flying back through the air with a stunned look in his eyes.
However, he then twisted around in mid-air before flying toward the pair of giant humanoid puppets.
At this point, the two puppets had already steadied themselves, and they paid no heed to the oncoming Shi Zhanfeng as they pounced at Han Li again while swinging their swords at him with formidable power.
Han Li was about to set off in pursuit of Shi Zhanfeng, but he was stopped in his tracks by the two puppets, and he lashed out with his fists in retaliation, unleashing a pair of huge, white fist projections that struck the oncoming golden swords with an explosive boom.
The two fist projections exploded upon contact, but the golden swords were also stopped cold in their tracks, while their puppet wielders were each forced back a step.
Right at this moment, a streak of golden light shot forth from between the two puppets, and it contained a golden spear that was aimed directly at Han Li\'s chest.
The wielder of the spear was none other than Xiao Zi, and at this moment, she was wearing a suit of tight-fitting golden armor that accentuated her gorgeous curves, and there was a design o fa majestic golden bird engraved onto the suit of armor.
The design was extremely lifelike, and every single line was radiating dazzling golden light, clearly indicating that this was no ordinary suit of armor.
Han Li joined his palms together to clamp the tip of the golden spear between them, instantly stopping the spear cold in its tracks.
A burst of radiant golden light instantly emerged over Xiao Zi\'s armor, and around fifty to sixty star acupoints appeared on its surface.
With her strength bolstered by the power transmitted into her body by the suit of golden armor, she tugged on her spear with all her might, but it remained firmly locked into place.
"Do you not recognize me, Fellow Daoist Xiao Zi?" Han Li asked through voice transmission as he looked directly into her eyes.
However, Xiao Zi was completely cold and responsive to his words, and a layer of crimson light appeared over her face beneath her veil, indicating that she was about to unleash some type of secret technique that granted her short-term power at the expense of severe long-term detrimental effects.
Han Li heaved an internal sigh upon seeing this, then thrust his palms forward, sending Xiao Zi and her spear flying.
Right at this moment, Shi Zhanfeng suddenly appeared behind Xiao Zi with a sinister grin on his face, and he swung his black saber down upon her head without any hesitation.
A black, beastly projection appeared over the blade of the saber, and its weight instantly increased by over tenfold as it swept through the air, leaving a long spatial rift in its wake.
Xiao Zi was still in the process of flying back through the air, so there was no way that she could evade the attack.
