"I didn't expect to encounter an Illusory Array here …" Han Li didn't panic. Instead, he said with a smile.
"Brother Li, you're really brave.
This Illusory Array isn't simple. I just tried to break it with my clan's Divine Sense Secret Technique, but I failed.
If you have a way to break it, you'd better act as soon as possible before the Illusory Array turns into a Killing Array, "Shi Chuankong looked at Han Li and said with a wry smile.
Han Li nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he silently operated the Spirit Cultivation Technique.
As the power of his Divine Perception grew stronger, when he looked around again, he saw that the beautiful women with supple skin had all turned into evil spirits with withered cheeks. It was an extremely horrifying sight.
"Gasp..." Han Li sucked in a breath of cold air in astonishment.
"What's wrong? Can't you break it?" Shi Chuankong asked.
"This Illusory Array does have some tricks, but it shouldn't be difficult to break it," Han Li smiled and said confidently.
As soon as his voice fell, a strange change occurred.
The women who had turned into evil ghosts seemed to have discovered that Han Li was breaking the array. They dropped the pipa in their hands and stretched out their five finger-thin ghost claws. Then, they pounced towards him.
"Break!"
Han Li activated the fifth layer of the Spirit Refinement Technique to its fullest extent as he let loose a thunderous roar.
It was as if a clap of thunder had resounded in the entire hall. Even Shi Chuankong felt his heart tremble violently. The bodies of the ghoul women who had yet to reach him exploded one after another under this explosive shout. They turned into dark red sparks and dissipated.
However, after the evil ghost women dissipated, the surrounding Illusory Array didn't disappear completely. They were still in the gorgeous palace.
"It seems that we can only get out of the array if we break the array pivot … Brother Shi, you have to stand firm," Han Li said after pondering for a while.
After saying that, he held Shi Chuankong's shoulder and lifted his foot to stomp on him.
"Boom!" A loud sound echoed!
The ground of the entire palace suddenly collapsed and turned into a bottomless black hole. Han Li and the woman fell into it just like that.
Only after half a minute or so did the feeling of falling disappear. They stabilized themselves, and when they looked around again, they had already returned to the divine hall.
However, at this moment, the two of them were standing in the middle of the dried up pond. The stone arch bridge beneath them had already broken. It was clearly caused by Han Li's stomp just now.
"It seems that the array pivot of the illusory array is this stone arch bridge beneath our feet," Shi Chuankong muttered.
Hearing this, Han Li nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at the back of the temple.
The six halberd wielding statues that were half-kneeling on the stone platform suddenly emitted a series of light "ka ka" sounds. The surface of the statues was like porcelain that had been cracked open, and tiny cracks appeared all over their bodies.
Then, a red light flashed in their eyes, and the six heads that looked exactly the same seemed to have come to life. They turned their heads in unison, and looked at Han Li and Shi Chuankong.
"It's happening again …" Han Li shook his head.
"Ka ka" sounds were heard from the bodies of the six halberd wielding strongmen. Then, pieces of the stone skin peeled off from the surface, revealing the real puppet bodies underneath. They slowly stood up.
They held a black halberd in their hands, and some of the stone skin on their faces hadn't been completely peeled off, revealing some mottled traces.
After the six of them stood up, they moved their necks in a very human-like manner. Then, they held their respective halberds in their hands, and leaped towards Han Li and Shi Chuankong.
The six of them divided into two groups in mid-air, and each group of three rushed towards Han Li and Shi Chuankong, separating them from each other.
Han Li first took a step back, and dodged the sudden thrust of one of the strongmen's halberd. Then, he stamped his feet on the ground, and the Star Moon Boots suddenly exerted force on his feet. His figure floated out like a ghost, and almost instantly rushed to the front of the strongman.
With a twist of his wrist, he grasped his curved blade in a reverse grip, and swept it towards the strongman's neck.
However, before his blade could reach him, the halberds of the other two strongmen — one on his left and one on his right — were already thrusting towards him. One was aiming for his throat, and the other was aiming for his Dantian.
Han Li was slightly surprised, but his footwork changed. He spun on the spot like a spinning top, and used his blade to deflect the halberd that was aimed at his throat. At the same time, he kicked away the halberd that was aimed at his Dantian.
At this moment, the sound of wind suddenly sounded behind his ears. The halberd of the strongman from before was already aimed at the back of his neck.
Han Li suddenly tilted his head, and dodged this thrilling attack. However, he was extremely surprised in his heart.
The coordination between the three puppets in front of him was simply better than that of an ordinary cultivator. It was simply a world of difference compared to the puppets he had encountered along the way.
However, it was fortunate that their speed wasn't too fast. Otherwise, with such close coordination, it would be difficult for Han Li not to be stabbed.
Han Li was secretly surprised, but his movements weren't slow at all. He grabbed the halberd that was thrusting towards his ear with one hand, and fiercely pressed it down. Then, he used the force from his shoulder to directly fling it away.
Without waiting for the strongman to land on the ground, the Star Moon Boots under his feet exerted force once again. His figure flashed, and he chased after the strongman in mid-air. Then, a white rainbow swept out, and the strongman was cut into two at the waist along with the halberd.
On the other side, the two strongman puppets attacked from both sides, and had already forced Shi Chuankong into a corner of the pool.
The two halberds stabbed out in a crisscrossed manner, but were blocked by Shi Chuankong's arms in front of his chest. The halberd's shaft pressed forward in a cross-shape, and firmly trapped the latter in the corner.
The remaining strongman puppet leaped from the broken stone arch bridge into the air. It tightly grasped the halberd with both hands, and stabbed towards Shi Chuankong's chest.
Shi Chuankong had yet to recover from his serious injuries. Regardless of whether it was his strength or physique, they were far inferior to before. At this moment, he wanted to break free from the suppression, but he couldn't do so. At this moment, his chest was about to be pierced by the halberd.
Han Li let out a loud shout, and the profound acupoints under his feet lit up. He stepped in the air, and his figure suddenly twisted. The machete in his hand was thrown out, and it drew a white arc in mid-air, and hit that puppet.
The strongman puppet sensed the attack of the machete behind it, and suddenly retracted its thrusting halberd. Then, it backhandedly blocked the white machete.
However, in the blink of an eye, Han Li had already arrived in front of him.
He suddenly raised his fist, and circulated the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Technique. The profound acupoints on his arm lit up in succession, and he clenched his fist tightly, and smashed it down.
The halberd-wielding puppet only had time to turn half of its face, and its head was smashed by Han Li's fist. Then, its entire head immediately burst open like a ripe watermelon.
"Be careful!" At this moment, Shi Chuankong suddenly cried out in alarm.
When Han Li heard this, he knew that the situation was far from good. He subconsciously lowered his body, and felt a gust of wind sweep past the back of his head.
He didn't have time to move away from his original position, when his shoulder suddenly sank, and he was hit by a huge force that was as heavy as a mountain. His entire body fiercely smashed into the ground, and made a violent roar.
The pool of the shrine instantly burst open, and Han Li's entire body was like an iron nail, and he was smashed into the ground.
Han Li didn't have time to clearly see what had attacked him, and immediately used the force to jump down, as if he had used an Earth Burrowing Technique, and submerged into the ground without a trace.
But immediately after, the ground on the other side of the shrine suddenly bulged, and a hole opened up, and Han Li's figure appeared again.
He frowned and glanced at the previous position, but saw that it was empty, and there wasn't even a shadow of a person. Only the statue of the male devil holding the long stick on the stone platform had disappeared.
Han Li's eyes flashed, and the Star-Moon Boots under his feet were fully activated, and his figure immediately burst forward.
In the next instant, a purplish-black long stick as thick as a child's arm smashed into the ground behind him.
The ground shattered with a loud bang, and sparks and stones flew everywhere.
Han Li suddenly turned to look, and saw that the Thunder God statue with a protruding mouth and ape-like chin was hovering in the air, holding the purplish-black long stick in his hand, and a pair of black wings were flapping up and down behind him.
The Thunder God Puppet seemed to be quite intelligent. Seeing that Han Li had dodged the attack just now, a little annoyed appeared on its face.
Its wings suddenly flapped, and there seemed to be a whirlwind that was difficult to be seen by the naked eye revolving around its body. Its figure flew up in an instant, and its speed was unexpectedly faster than Han Li's Star-Moon Boots at full strength.
Han Li raised his eyebrows, and this time, he didn't choose to dodge. Instead, he raised the scimitar with one hand, and slashed at the puppet head-on.
Seeing this, a trace of joy flashed in the Thunder God Puppet's eyes like a human. It raised the long stick with both hands, and a layer of hazy white light shrouded the body of the stick. It seemed to be a Star Weapon.
But in an instant, the long stick in its hand swung down in a circle, and collided with the snow-white scimitar.
"Clang"
Accompanied by a loud noise, a violent force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas came crashing down.
Han Li's arm shook violently, and the scimitar was instantly suppressed. The hand that held the scimitar also trembled violently.
He had to quickly raise his other arm, and use both hands to support the body of the scimitar to resist this blow.
Han Li's feet had already broken through the floor, and he was even more shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that the Thunder God Puppet was not only extremely fast, but also so powerful.
But before he could counterattack, something strange happened again.
The Star Apertures on the purple-black long stick lit up one after another, and with a sizzling sound, a thick white lightning burst out from the stick, and suddenly hit the center of Han Li's eyebrows.
Han Li only felt a burning sensation on his forehead, and his sea of consciousness also trembled violently. His Spirit seemed to be a little shaken, and his body swayed. His hands also lost strength, and the purple-black long stick hit the scimitar heavily on his shoulder.
His legs suddenly bent, and he couldn't support himself anymore. His body leaned back, and he fell.
Seeing this, the Thunder God Puppet walked forward, and a cold look flashed in its eyes. The long stick in its hand turned, and it was about to hit Han Li's forehead.
The moment Han Li was hit, he had already used the Spirit Cultivation Art. His eyes narrowed, and he regained his consciousness.
At this critical moment, he hurriedly took out a small white shield from his bosom, and immediately put it in front of him to block the attack. He continued to pour the Star Force in his body into it.
The white starlight on the surface of the small shield suddenly surged out and formed a white light screen that was three feet in radius, protecting his body.
