Chapter 1986: Defeating the Puppet Army
The next moment, a large number of figures began to crawl out from the ground, and they were actually puppets!
These puppets are about two meters tall, with human-shaped lower bodies and wearing bright water-blue armor. Only the upper bodies and heads are slightly different in shape. They can be roughly divided into three categories.
One of them has a wolf head and a human body, with a slender body and a blue sword in each arm.
Another type has a human body with a tiger head, with strong arms and body, and one hand holding a huge mountain-splitting knife that shines with a cold glow.
The last type has a human body and a snake head. He is not wearing armor, but has a layer of fine scales on his body. He holds a snake-shaped bow and arrow with flashing blue light in both hands.
Regardless of whether it was a sword or a bow and arrow, they all emitted fluctuations of star power and were obviously powerful star weapons.
Han Li took a glance at them and his expression changed. The aura of these puppets was only at the Golden Immortal level, but their number was extremely large. In just a short while, thousands of them had appeared!
If they activated the star weapons in their hands and attacked the two of them simultaneously, Han Li could not guarantee that he could block them all.
If you get entangled, you may even be in danger of losing your life!
"Can't be surrounded!"
Han Li's eyes focused, and he immediately stepped on the void with both feet. Relying on the power of the Star-Moon Boots, he was able to walk in the air and headed in a direction away from the group of puppets.
However, his speed of walking in the air was far slower than that of flying, and now he was carrying Shi Chuankong with him. Although he had tried his best, he was still not much faster.
As soon as those puppets emerged from the ground, they seemed to be able to sense the holy key in Han Li's body. They all turned their heads and stared at Han Li, and each of them revealed an anthropomorphic light of hatred in their eyes.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, an unusually tall snake-headed puppet raised its head and let out a wild beast-like roar. The rest of the snake-headed puppets all moved their arms and began to draw their bows and shoot arrows at Han Li and the other two in the air.
"whoosh whoosh"
Long blue arrows flew out as fast as meteors, surrounding and shooting at the two of them from different directions. With such a density, Han Li and the others had no way to avoid them!
Han Li cried out inwardly, "Oh no!", and the starlight in his body's mysterious orifices became brighter, and he was about to condense into a layer of starlight crystal membrane to withstand the rain of arrows.
"Don't panic, Junior Brother. Just swing your sword and cut in a circle, and you'll be out of danger."
At this moment, Luo Hong's voice suddenly sounded in his soul.
Out of trust, Han Li almost immediately tightened his grip on the white scimitar in his hand and slashed with all his might!
What he didn't expect was that his slash actually produced a circle of bright silver light.
As soon as those blue arrows were shot to the nearby area, they would twist slightly and all be immersed in the silver light. Then they would reappear under Han Li's feet and shoot towards their original owners!
Shi Chuankong had just used his True Extreme Membrane and was about to use his scimitar to block the arrows, but when he saw this, he was immediately surprised and asked:
"Brother Li, why is your star weapon so powerful that it can even perform spatial magic in Daxu?"
"I found this sword in a side hall of the palace on the ground floor. I don't know where it came from."
Of course Han Li knew that it was Luo Hong who was helping him in secret, so he made up an excuse and continued to flee to the outside.
A wave of arrows rained back, destroying almost half of the snake-headed puppets. This greatly reduced the pressure on the two of them, and they soon escaped from the area where a large number of puppets crawled out.
But there is still a long way to go to completely get rid of these puppets.
The wolf-headed puppet and the tiger-headed puppet were extremely fast on the ground. Even if they had to cross mountains and rivers, they still bit Han Li who was running in the air.
Moreover, the number of puppets has reached tens of thousands at this moment. Looking from the air, it looks like a huge group of them are chasing them!
However, this puppet riot also forced out all the Xuancheng cultivators in this area. Han Li swept the air and found four people from Baiyan City, including Fang Chan.
"Junior Brother Han, go gather the four of them together. I took great pains to bring them to Daxu, and it's time for them to contribute."
Seeing this, Luo Hong immediately had an idea.
"it is good!"
Han Li responded and went straight towards Fang Chan, because the other three were also rushing towards him, obviously wanting to meet up together.
Half an hour later, Han Li brought Shi Chuankong to the sky above Fang Chan and shouted:
"Fellow Daoist Fang, Senior Brother Luo asked me to temporarily command you. We will meet at the top of the hill ahead!"
Fang Chan snorted coldly upon hearing this, obviously not believing it, but soon his expression changed, he looked around briefly, and replied:
"Since this is Master Luo's order, we are willing to obey!"
Although the other three Xuan cultivators from Baiyan City were surprised, Fang Chan was much stronger than them, so they did not object at the moment.
After a stick of incense, the two sides gathered at the top of a mountain about 500 feet high.
"Friend Li, those puppets will chase us in less than an incense stick of time. What are your orders?"
Fang Chan glanced down the mountain and immediately asked Han Li.
"Senior Brother Luo has ordered us to subdue as many of these puppets as possible. We will wait here for them to come up."
While Han Li was conveying Luo Hong's order, he shouted in his heart:
"Brother, we can't handle so many puppets. Your order is to send them to their deaths!"
"Haha, Junior Brother, don't panic, just look at your own palms."
Luo Hong smiled easily.
Han Li immediately raised his palms, looked down, and saw two black lightning seals appearing in his palms.
"This is."
“This is the Mahakala Thunder Seal. You only need to spar with them to pass this seal to them. Then, use the power of the stars to activate it, and each of your punches will generate Mahakala Thunder.
Once those star puppets are hit, their puppet hearts will be sealed immediately and they will lose their combat power!"
Luo Hong explained slowly.
"I see. If we can seal a group of puppets with every punch, we won't be afraid of being surrounded and killed!"
Han Li knew very well that everyone's strength was above the early Taiyi stage, and as long as they were not surrounded by too many puppets, there would be no danger.
"Reach your hand quickly!"
After feeling calm, Han Li immediately looked at Fang Chan, passed the Mahakala Thunder Seal to him, and explained its use.
"Brother Luo, you left this good thing for me, come and give me one!"
Shi Chuankong had seen Luo Hong use the Great Black Sky Thunder to deal with the halberd-wielding warriors, so he naturally believed in it very much and rushed to get a pair.
When everyone had obtained the Thunder Seal, the puppet army had already arrived near the top of the mountain. The first to launch the attack were the wolf-headed puppets.
They could easily jump dozens of feet high, and the long swords in their hands flashed blue light and slashed towards everyone.
Han Li and his six companions did not dodge or evade upon seeing this. Instead, they charged forward and threw a punch, which immediately caused a large amount of black lightning to explode.
Not only did these lightning bolts penetrate into the bodies of the puppets around the six people, they also kept bouncing backwards, spreading out for dozens of feet!
Any puppet that is struck by lightning will immediately become stiff and then collapse to the ground.
"Haha, kill, kill, kill!"
"You were asked to hunt us down before, now you all must die!"
Seeing that they had cleared out a large number of puppets with one strike, the last bit of tension in everyone's hearts instantly dissipated, and they rushed into the puppet group even more ferociously.
In an instant, offense and defense changed!
Afterwards, the puppet army seemed to be commanded by someone and changed several tactics, trying to strangle Han Li and the other six.
However, due to the absolute gap in combat power, all these attempts were smashed to pieces by the six people.
Even though a giant ape puppet with significantly stronger strength, wearing blue armor and holding a mace, appeared later, it still failed to reverse the decline of the puppet army.
After just one hour, more than half of the puppet army had suffered casualties.
At this moment, a strange roar came from deep within the army, causing the puppets that were originally fighting for their lives to retreat regardless of everything.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Can puppets be afraid?"
"It's probably because they don't want to suffer unnecessary losses. It's a good thing. Activating this pair of black lightning seals consumes quite a lot of star power!"
Looking at the puppets retreating down the mountain and heading back the way they came, everyone lost their desire to chase and kill them.
After all, although they killed their enemies with great force, they also consumed a lot of resources.
If the puppet army is determined to fight to the last man, some of them might die of exhaustion!
"Okay, gather all these paralyzed puppets to the top of the mountain, and then we'll get out of here!"
After saying that, Han Li glanced at Shi Chuankong, who was coughing up some blood, and said to him:
"Brother Shi, your injuries are not healed yet, so try not to attack from now on."
Shi Chuankong swallowed another pill, did not argue after hearing this, and nodded obediently.
Half a day later, everyone gathered the scattered puppets together. Luo Hong immediately helped Han Li open the Huazhi Cave and collected them all in.
"So many puppets! What happened to you?"
Zi Ling was also in the Huazhi Cave and couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this.
"We have arrived at Daxu. These puppets have not yet been completely subdued by Senior Brother Luo. Zi Ling, just classify them and don't fiddle with them too much."
Han Li knew that Zi Ling had already embarked on the path of puppetry, and immediately sent a voice message to remind her.
After finishing the matter here, the six people continued to move towards the depths of Daxu.
A few days later, a stretch of fiery red sand appeared in front of them. They saw streams of hot air coming out from the ground, causing the air above the sand to fluctuate slightly.
After entering the desert, the scenery around you is the same and it is difficult to tell the direction.
Fortunately, the closer we get to the depths of the ruins, the greater the spatial pressure will be, so everyone will not get lost.
However, what no one expected was that they walked for two months without any sign of getting out of the fiery red sand, and there was neither danger nor any treasure found along the way.
There is nothing but red sand everywhere.
This made everyone feel inexplicably irritated, and the communication between them increased significantly.
"Brother Shi, when I was flying in the air earlier, you didn't let me fly too high, but what dangers are there in those yellow clouds?"
Han Li was also chatting to kill time. At this moment, he suddenly thought of this matter and asked directly.
The sky of Daxu was completely covered with a layer of yellow clouds, and it was not very high from the ground, so spiritual consciousness could not penetrate into it at all.
"I don't know the details, I just know there is a powerful restriction in the cloud, anyone who touches it will be attacked."
As he spoke, Shi Chuankong casually took out a short knife.
The dagger was snow-white all over, and engraved with numerous star runes. It was also a star weapon taken from the puppet.
After weighing it slightly, Shi Chuankong waved his hand and threw it out, turning it into a white light that shot up into the sky and soon disappeared into the yellow clouds.
Suddenly, the yellow cloud seemed to be stimulated and rolled violently. Then the white light in the cloud gathered towards the dagger, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a thick white lightning and struck over!
After a loud "bang", the snow-white dagger exploded instantly and turned into ashes.
Without the foreign object, Huang Yun quickly calmed down and returned to his previous harmless appearance.
"What a strong restraining force, Brother Luo, have you seen anything?"
Han Li was shocked and immediately sent a message to Luo Hong.
"If I am not mistaken, this should be the Yellow Heaven Great Forbidden Rule, one of the Ten Great Forbidden Rulers of the Demon Realm, which originated from the ancient Demon Lord Huan Tian!"
Luo Hong said with a serious look, he had access to much more information than Han Li in Heaven, including a rough introduction to the Ten Forbidden Things in the Demon Realm.
"Brother, you actually know this prohibition. What kind of magical power does this prohibition have? Is there any way to deal with it?"
Han Li was slightly surprised and asked again.
“Demon Lord Huantian is actually the Space Dao Ancestor of a certain generation in the past, and the ancestor of Shi Chuankong. The Great Yellow Sky Prohibition is a forbidden method he created with the help of the Great Space Dao. When it was used that year, it directly expanded the territory of the Demon Realm by ten times!
However, this Demon Lord also angered the Heavenly Court because of this, and was defeated by many Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Court.
The real Yellow Sky Great Forbidden Technique can only be performed by the Taoist Ancestor of Space. The yellow cloud here should be arranged only with the help of the special environment of Jilin Sky Realm.
In my opinion, the purpose of the Lord of Daxu in setting up this Yellow Sky Forbidden Zone was not to ban the sky, but to continuously expand the scope of Daxu, so as to swallow up the entire Jilin Sky Realm.
This is probably the way to enlightenment.”
Luo Hong actually had guessed this a long time ago, and since Han Lao Mo asked, he didn't mind explaining it.
"Swallowing the entire Jilin Sky Realm, this ambition is too big!
However, this yellow cloud has existed for countless years, but it still hasn't covered the entire Jilin Sky Realm. I guess he must have failed."
Han Li exclaimed in admiration but soon lost interest and started chatting with Shi Chuankong about other topics.
Luo Hong secretly frowned, because he knew that the reason why the Lord of Daxu failed was that the Yellow Sky Great Forbidden Zone could not cross the Black Abyss, and it was very likely that it was eroded in the reverse direction.
"The guy who tried to come out of the Black Abyss had a pair of crab claws, and the Lord of the Great Ruins was reborn as a Crab Taoist after he was put to death. I hope this is just a coincidence."
"what!"
Suddenly, Han Li let out a light exclamation and stopped abruptly.
"Brother Li, have you found anything?"
Shi Chuankong, who was chatting with him, was the first to notice his abnormality and asked immediately.
"Come with me!"
Han Li did not explain, but changed direction slightly and ran away.
Soon, a huge river suddenly appeared in front of the people who followed him!
