Not long after Han Li and his companion rose into the air, a strange "sha sha" sound came from the ruins below.

Han Li and Liu Ruyue looked down in the direction of the voice, and their expressions changed slightly.

As the soil on the surface of the ruins continued to shake, arms stretched out from it, followed by strange heads popping up one after another.

One figure after another crawled out of the ground. They were all puppets.

These puppets weren't very big, about twenty feet tall. Their lower bodies were humanoid, and they wore bright blue armor. However, their upper bodies and heads were slightly different. They could be roughly divided into three types.

One type had a wolf's head and a human's body. It had a slender body, and each of its arms was holding a long blue sword. The swords were curved.

Another type had a tiger's head and a human's body. Its arms and body were quite thick, and it held a huge saber that shone with a cold light.

The last type of puppet had a snake's head and a human's body. It didn't wear any armor, and its body was covered in a layer of fine scales. On its back was a snake-shaped bow that flickered with a blue light.

These sabers, swords, bows, and arrows all emitted traces of Star Power.

There were many puppets, and they weren't just near the two of them. As far as the eye could see, there were puppets crawling out from the ground in all directions.

Han Li's eyes swept around, and his face couldn't help but change.

Although these puppets didn't look like much, their strength was obviously not low. Their numbers were also enough to make one's hair stand on end. Even if he had the strength to fight a hundred of them alone, once he was entangled with them, he would most likely die.

His mind raced, and starlight shone from his mystic orifices. His feet stepped in the air, and he flew forward with all his strength.

However, although he could fly in the air with the help of the White Feather Soaring Art and the Starmoon Boots, his speed was still limited. Especially when he was carrying a rock, he couldn't go fast even if he used all his strength.

As soon as these puppets crawled out of the ground, they immediately looked at Han Li and his companion, and their eyes immediately flashed with human-like hatred.

"Roar!"

An unusually tall snake puppet raised its head and let out a beast-like roar.

The snake-headed puppets on the ground moved their arms and nocked arrows.

Soon after, blue arrows flew out one after another like shooting stars, and they emitted terrifying whistling sounds as they shot towards the two of them from all directions. They were concentrated like rain, and they were simply unavoidable.

Han Li cursed inwardly. The starlight in his body shone brightly and condensed into a layer of starlight crystal film that covered his body.

At the same time, he waved his empty arm, and a white scimitar appeared in his hand. The scimitar turned into streaks of white scimitar shadows that slashed at the incoming blue arrows.

Crystal light flashed on the surface of Shi Chuankong's body, and he cast the True Polarity Membrane. At the same time, he brandished the long rod in his hand at a rapid speed, and it transformed into several illusory shadows that protected his entire body.

A series of loud crackling sounds rang out!

The scimitar in Han Li's hand transformed into a saber halo that danced in the air, forming a dense white saber screen that shattered all the blue arrows.

However, the power contained in the arrow was not to be underestimated. It shook his arm until it was numb.

Shi Chuankong brandished the purple-black long rod in his hand, and blocked all the long arrows. However, his arm also trembled repeatedly.

Under such a concentrated attack, the figures of the two people who were rushing forward at high speed also came to a halt.

At this moment, dozens of wolf-headed puppets and tiger-headed puppets in the vicinity sprang up, and easily leaped several hundred feet into the air. They were extremely agile, and the swords in their hands transformed into blue shadows that slashed at the bodies of the two people.

The three kinds of puppets cooperated with each other seamlessly, and it seemed as if they had practiced it countless times.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong didn't even get a chance to catch their breath, and they had no choice but to attack again to block these attacks.

After a series of loud sounds of metal clashing, a large number of puppet corpses fell from the sky, and the dozens of puppets that flew out were almost completely dismembered.

Without waiting for Han Li and Shi Chuankong to take any other action, a sharp whistling sound resounded once again, and countless blue arrows flew towards them like rain.

Han Li frowned, and he waved the scimitar in his hand to fend off those arrows. At the same time, he took a few steps forward, and his figure rose once again, and he soared into the sky.

At this moment, the sky was also filled with thick yellow clouds, and there was a faint white light in them. The two people were originally in mid-air, and they continued to fly up at this moment. In the blink of an eye, they arrived near those yellow clouds.

Although they had increased their altitude, they still hadn't escaped the range of the arrows shot by the puppets.

Han Li glanced at the yellow clouds above his head, and hesitated for a moment. He was about to fly up again.

"Don't go to the sky, you can't touch those yellow clouds. I'll block these attacks, Fellow Daoist Li, you just need to hurry up!" Shi Chuankong looked anxious, and he stopped Han Li's actions.

Just as he finished speaking, the Star Aperture on the purplish-black long rod in his hand shone brightly. He quickly waved the long rod, and a purplish-black tornado suddenly appeared, engulfing the incoming blue arrows and easily crushing them.

Han Li was puzzled when he heard this, but when he saw that Shi Chuankong's expression was solemn, and he was using all his strength to resist the enemies, he didn't ask any questions. The profound acupoints on his legs lit up, and he took several steps forward, and flew forward.

When the puppets on the ground saw this, they let out a series of angry roars, and the puppets with wolf and tiger heads leaped up again, and pounced towards the two people. The puppets in other places also surrounded them.

Shi Chuankong shouted, and the long rod in his hand danced, and the approaching puppets were blocked again.

However, these puppets with wolf and tiger heads were huge, and they weren't easy to deal with like the rain of arrows. Although Shi Chuankong blocked their attacks, his face turned pale, and he let out a muffled groan.

Before he could catch his breath, sharp whistling sounds came again, and Shi Chuankong hurriedly focused his attention to deal with them.

As Han Li flew, he glanced at Shi Chuankong's pale face, and his heart tightened.

Shi Chuankong's previous injuries hadn't healed, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

At this moment, the puppets on the ground below launched attacks, and they chased after the two people, as if they wouldn't stop until they were killed on the spot.

Han Li's brows wrinkled, and he had no choice but to block the puppets while moving forward.

In the blink of an eye, the two people suffered dozens of waves of attacks from the puppets below, and all of them were blocked by Shi Chuankong. Apart from occasionally helping, Han Li put all his energy into rushing forward.

However, numerous puppets were still ceaselessly crawling out from beneath the ground from all directions and joining the encirclement. Everywhere the eye could see, it was densely packed like an ocean formed from puppets.

Accompanied by a low roar, nearly a hundred puppets with wolf and tiger heads leaped up again, and the weapons in their hands interweaved to form a death net, which covered the heads of the two people.

At this moment, Shi Chuankong's face was as pale as paper, and he waved his hands, and the purple-black long rod in his hand once again turned into a purple-black tornado, which swept towards these puppets.

"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of loud sounds rang out!

The puppets that pounced on him were all sent flying, but Shi Chuankong also let out a cry, and spouted a big mouthful of blood.

The True Polar Membrane on the surface of his body flickered repeatedly, and it immediately became a lot dimmer, and he almost couldn't hold the purple-black long rod in his hand, and it fell to the ground.

"Sect Fellow Shi, you can't go on like this," Han Li's complexion slightly changed.

"It's just a relapse of my injuries, I won't die yet," Shi Chuankong said with difficulty.

"Xiu Xiu" sounds suddenly resounded!

A new round of arrows rained down like lightning, and the number of arrows was much higher than the previous round.

"You try to recover a little, and leave the rest to me," Han Li moved his left arm, and clamped Shi Chuankong under his ribs, and said.

Shi Chuankong waved his right arm while speaking, and the curved blade in his hand once again transformed into a blade-light, and parried the blue arrows from the left, right, and front directions. But, he didn't pay any attention to the arrows that were shot from the rear.

Bang, bang, bang!

A dozen or so blue arrows fiercely shot at Han Li's back, but they were blocked by his True Polar Membrane.

His True Polar Membrane trembled violently, but it soon stabilized. Han Li's speed increased sharply with the help of the force of the arrows, and he flew forward for a long distance.

Shi Chuankong secretly admired Han Li's courage and remarkable ability when he saw this scene. He took out an elixir, and swallowed it. Then, he hastily closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

After the rain of arrows passed, hundreds of puppets leaped up once again, and pounced towards the two of them in a manner that blotted out the sky. The swords and sabers in their hands slashed at the same time, and the shadows of the swords and sabers made people unable to see anything for a moment.

A white light flashed on Han Li's legs, and his figure pounced forward. He plunged into the group of puppets, and slashed horizontally with the curved blade in his hand.

A snow-white blade-light flashed, and dozens of puppets in front of him were chopped in half at the waist.

At the same time, he kicked high up in the air, and transformed into a series of leg shadows. These shadows struck the puppets that were approaching from the left and right directions, and sent them flying.

At this moment, the swords and sabers in the hands of the puppets in the rear fell, and hacked at Han Li's back.

Shi Chuankong followed the same pattern, and didn't dodge. Instead, he used the True Polar Membrane that covered the surface of his body to block the attack.

Amidst a series of loud "bang" sounds, Han Li's whole body was sent flying forward. But, the True Polar Membrane on his back trembled violently, and his complexion turned slightly pale.

Han Li let out a muffled groan, and silently operated the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Technique. His figure didn't stop at all, and he flew forward like a bolt of lightning, and knocked away dozens of puppets in one breath. Finally, he managed to break out of the encirclement.

But, he had only flown a distance of a few thousand feet, when countless arrows were once again shot at him, accompanied by a burst of ear-piercing whistling sounds.

Shi Chuankong moved his arm, and countless blade-lights appeared again, and swept towards those flying arrows.

In the blink of an eye, almost half a day had passed.

Han Li didn't know how many attacks he had received from the puppets below. But, even with his formidable strength, he gradually felt strenuous at this moment. His complexion turned pale, and the True Polar Membrane on the surface of his body also became much dimmer and thinner.

Shi Chuankong's previous injuries had broken out. Although he had taken some medicinal pills and recovered some of his strength, he still couldn't fight back. So, he could only watch helplessly.

Moreover, the area of the ruins below was so large that it was beyond his imagination. But, there was still no sign of the end of the ruins. Tens of thousands of puppets blotted out the sky, and swarmed towards the two of them.

At this time, there weren't only those three kinds of puppets anymore. In fact, there was also a kind of giant ape puppet that held a wolf-tooth club in its hand. Although there weren't many of them, they were extraordinarily strong, and their movements were incomparably agile. In fact, it seemed as if they had their own consciousness. Therefore, they were far more difficult to deal with than the other three kinds of puppets.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless blue arrows attacked from below. And, the rain of arrows was surprisingly mixed with pieces of black stones. They were issuing dreadful whistling sounds. These were the stones that those giant ape puppets had thrown at them.

Han Li shouted in a low voice. Then, he waved the curved blade in his hand once again, and chopped the rain of arrows and stones into pieces. Meanwhile, his figure evaded the attacks again and again.

The True Polar Membrane on the surface of his body had become much weaker at this moment. So, he didn't dare to use it to receive the attacks of the puppets below. Therefore, his advancing speed had also been greatly reduced.

Suddenly, a "whiz" sound was heard. Then, a huge blue shadow pounced over from below. It was a giant ape that was clad in a blue armor. It was twice the size of the other puppets. It was none other than that giant ape puppet.

This giant ape puppet didn't seem to care about the rain of arrows around it. Instead, it waved its sturdy arm while Han Li was dodging. Then, the wolf-tooth club in its hand turned into a blue shadow, and pounded towards the center of Han Li's back with a "whooshing" sound.
