Chapter 1533: Trapping the Enemy and Escaping

The two golden armored warriors were exactly the two shadow puppets Han Li summoned using the Armor-Origin Talisman. Both possessed about seventy to eighty percent of Han Li's strength and some of his divine abilities, but even so, they could not be underestimated.

In shock and anger, the blood puppet could not recklessly pursue Han Li. Otherwise, the moment it initiated its teleportation, it would be forcibly interrupted by an attack.

It shook both sleeves, and a blood-red, fishy wind surged out, sweeping the wind blades and the giant python away, and then it opened its mouth.

With two "puff" sounds, two blood-colored light pillars sprayed out, piercing through the bodies of the two warriors like lightning and thunder, easily opening a large hole in each of their chests.

But the blood puppet's pupils instantly shrank, and a look of surprise flashed in its eyes.

It saw the two golden armored warriors flickering with golden light, and the large holes in their bodies healed themselves as if nothing had happened.

Furthermore, one of them held a golden spear in his hand; as soon as a thunderous sound rang out, it shot out pale golden electric arcs, and with another movement, they transformed into over a dozen golden electric snakes, shooting over in a bizarre fashion.

The other one threw its twin blades into mid-air.

Instantly, as the twin blades swirled and danced, five faint skull shadows manifested in the golden light, and as they opened their mouths, a mass of five-colored cold flames rolled down.

"Eh?"

The blood puppet's eyes showed even greater surprise. But this level of divine ability, let alone only having seventy to eighty percent of Han Li's power, even if Han Li himself had cast it, it wouldn't have been taken to heart.

It cast a spell with both hands, and dots of blood light appeared around its body. Following this, the blood light shone brilliantly, and densely packed blood-colored light balls manifested nearby.

As the puppet urged them, these light balls shot out in all directions without a sound.

With a series of muffled "rumbling" sounds, the moment the light balls and electric arcs/flames touched, they transformed into masses of blood-colored flames.

Both the electric arcs and the cold flames dissipated and extinguished one after another. And as the blood flames rolled to both sides, they instantly engulfed the two warriors.

Even though the two shadow puppets fought desperately to wave their weapons in defense and released patches of gray glow to protect their bodies.

It only caused the blood flames to pause slightly before breaking through, and the blood flames landed on the two warriors.

An astonishing scene appeared.

In the raging flames, the two warriors' bodies rapidly dissolved and melted, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into two pools of blood and completely vanished within the blood flames.

The blood puppet did not stop at all; its body moved, transforming into a streak of blood light and shooting toward the entrance.

Although Han Li appeared to have run away long ago, the puppet didn't care in the least.

As long as Han Li hadn't run several hundred miles away in one breath, and with a sweep of its spiritual sense, it could still easily find Han Li's position and catch up.

When the blood light flew out from the ground, the palace was empty; there was not a trace of Han Li.

The puppet manifested from the escape light, scanned the nearby situation, and let out a series of cold laughs.

It closed its eyes, cast a spell with both hands, and released its spiritual sense to scan the surroundings from this spot.

After only a moment, the puppet opened its eyes, let out a long whistle, and with blood light rising, it transformed into a streak of blood rainbow and shot out.

The direction was exactly toward the blue passage exit. After a few flickers, the blood rainbow vanished from the palace without a trace.

Flying at full speed, the blood puppet's speed was truly astonishing!

After a few flickers, the blood-colored escape light appeared at the original entrance, and the blue passage was still intact.

In the blood puppet's spiritual sense, Han Li had already escaped over a hundred miles away, so it didn't hesitate in the least to drive its escape light and submerge into the blue passage.

After the blood rainbow flickered a few times and rushed out of the entrance, a strange roar suddenly rang out from the opposite side, followed by thunderous sounds.

The blood puppet was startled and hurriedly looked closely.

It saw a Nether-Thunder Beast several zhang tall crouching at the entrance, silver arcs flickering incessantly on its body.

With a roar, the beast immediately charged down toward it aggressively.

"Impossible!"

The blood puppet was greatly shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.

There were already two Nether-Thunder Beasts in the palace below; how could a third one suddenly pop up here!

But facing this fierce beast, the blood puppet was filled with shock and could no longer care about pursuing Han Li. Spiritual light flashed on its body, and a wooden tablet shot out.

As this treasure swirled, it sprayed out a mass of glow, protecting it tightly.

The blood puppet cast a spell with both hands, and masses of blood mist emerged from its body, submerging its figure in a flickering state.

Facing the terrifying existence of the Nether-Thunder Beast, which could rival the peak of the Body Integration stage, it adopted a defensive strategy as if facing a great enemy.

Only by doing this could it possibly block a round of the Nether-Thunder Beast's fierce attacks and then seek another way to escape.

But just as the blood puppet paused at the entrance, a humming sound rang out from the nearby void.

Silver talismans manifested eerily in the nearby void, and as spiritual light flashed, they shattered simultaneously.

Silver light shone brilliantly, and amidst the rolling of countless runes, a massive silver light array took shape.

This was exactly the Nine-Palace Heaven-Dry Talisman that Han Li had laid down here in advance!

It was unknown what secret technique he had used, but even though he was a hundred miles away, he could still trigger this ambush for the blood puppet.

The Nether-Thunder Beast had a strange expression flash on its face, its body condensed, and it actually stopped directly above the light array.

The blood puppet felt a chill in its heart, knowing something was wrong. But after glancing at the Nether-Thunder Beast above, it hesitated slightly before its body plummeted toward the ground.

But just as its body plummeted a few zhang, a pleasant, clear cry rang out from below, silver light flashed, and a silver firebird manifested eerily in the void.

This bird was only a foot tall. As it opened its mouth, over a dozen somewhat familiar cyan round beads were sprayed out, shooting toward the blood puppet like lightning.

The blood puppet was shocked!

It had just witnessed the power of these round beads with its own eyes; how could it dare to take them head-on.

Dodge to the side? At such a close distance, with over a dozen round beads transforming into cyan light masses and shooting over simultaneously, it was a bit too late.

Helpless, it could only have its body retreat violently, wanting to temporarily open up distance and avoid these thunder beads first.

But what the blood puppet didn't expect was that when its body submerged into the silver runes again, the power of the light array formed by the Nine-Palace Heaven-Dry Talisman erupted.

It only felt silver light flash before its eyes, the surrounding scenery blurred, and it was suddenly in a mass of hazy white mist.

The blood puppet hurriedly scanned the surroundings. In the distance, high walls, palaces, and pavilions were vaguely visible, and it was unknown how vast it was. Above, silver light covered the entire sky tightly.

The purple-blooded puppet was stunned.

With its knowledge, it naturally saw at a glance that the surrounding restrictions were extraordinary, and it was likely impossible to break out in a short time.

At the same time, outside the light array.

The moment the dozen or so cyan light masses were about to submerge into the light array, they suddenly trembled and hung motionless, manifesting their original round bead forms.

After the cyan light flickering on the surface of these thunder beads extinguished, they suddenly shot back, were sucked into the belly of the silver firebird as it opened its mouth, and were taken away calmly.

As it spread its wings, the silver firebird let out a few clear cries, appearing exceptionally happy.

The Nether-Thunder Beast in the sky let out a few strange ape cries, the silver electric arcs on its body dissipated and vanished, and then black light flashed, its body shrank rapidly, and it actually transformed into a black monkey half a foot tall.

It was exactly Han Li's Soul-Crying Beast.

Seeing that the magic array had truly trapped the blood puppet, the beast didn't say a word, turned its head, and immediately transformed into a streak of black light, shooting away into the distance.

And after the silver firebird circled a few times in mid-air, its body flickered, and it transformed into dots of silver flames and dissipated.

A hundred miles away, Han Li was driving his escape light wildly, engulfing the two women with glow.

Suddenly, his expression moved, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He cast a spell with one hand and grabbed toward the void.

With a soft "bang," a mass of silver flames manifested out of thin air, swirled, and transformed into the silver firebird.

The moment this firebird manifested, it immediately opened its mouth and sprayed out the dozen or so thunder beads once again.

Han Li shook his sleeve, and as the cyan glow swept over, the thunder beads vanished. Following this, the firebird shot toward Han Li's body, submerging into it and vanishing without a trace.

Strange light flashed in Han Li's eyes, followed by a thoughtful look, and he slowed his escape light slightly.

After only a moment, the sound of breaking air came from the sky behind, and a streak of black light descended from the sky. As the light converged, the small monkey transformed from the Soul-Crying Beast landed on Han Li's shoulder with a somersault.

Han Li smiled and reached out to stroke the small monkey a few times.

He knew clearly about the cooperative actions of the Soul-Crying Beast and the Spirit-Devouring Firebird just now from a trace of his split consciousness hidden within the firebird. Being able to trap that terrifying blood puppet so easily was also somewhat beyond his expectations.

He shook his sleeve, and the small monkey also transformed into a streak of black light, shooting into it and being collected into the spirit beast ring hidden in his sleeve.

Below, Han Li no longer held anything back. His wings flapped wildly, and amidst the flashing of five-colored spiritual light and cyan glow, he transformed into a crystal thread and broke through the air.

After only a few flickers, the crystal thread vanished at the edge of the sky, leaving no trace behind.

At the same time, in the underground palace, Mu Qing was still trapped in the thunder clouds. But under the woman's continuous attacks, the thunder clouds were finally tottering, appearing as if their power was about to be exhausted.

And above the green pool, the white-haired matron, the blood-robed person, and the purple-blooded puppet were still bitterly resisting the attacks of the Five-Dragon Guillotine.

In all directions around them, giant blades stood tall.

Countless chilling lights swept out from these giant blades, and their sharpness was such that even with the three of them joining forces, they had already damaged over a dozen treasures one after another, and could only bitterly use their own true essence to urge their life-bound divine abilities, barely maintaining themselves to keep these chilling lights from getting close.

The black light array in the sky was already less than ten zhang above them, appearing as if it could completely descend at any moment.

As for the white-haired matron's hundred-plus ghost soldiers, they were engaged in a melee with the high-tier ghost creature on the golden-armored puppet's side. Under the ghost soldiers' joint coordination, they actually held the upper hand, trapping this ghost creature in their midst.

And the golden-armored puppet cast spells with both hands, its eyes flickering with uncertainty, appearing as if it wanted to do something but was hesitant.

Just in this chaotic situation, the golden light array sealing the green pool let out a boom, cracking inch by inch, once again revealing the rolling white spiritual mist.

A long whistle rang out from the pool, black light flashed, and a tall human figure flew out from within.
