Chapter 969: One-Sided Battle

Sun Tu and Duan Tong hurriedly sprang back in retreat upon seeing this, but to their surprise, despite the wolf puppet's enormous stature, it was extremely fast and agile.

Before Duan Tong had a chance to react, a millstone-sized front paw had already appeared before him in the blink of an eye, sweeping toward him with tremendous power.

Duan Tong's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he could only retaliate against the wolf puppet's formidable paw with his thick right arm.

A gruesome crack rang out as Duan Tong's arm was instantly snapped in several places upon impact, and he was sent flying like a cannonball before crashing heavily onto the ground with blood gushing out of his mouth.

The wolf puppet shuddered as it took a step back, but it was immediately able to steady itself before opening its mouth to release a burst of white light.

The white light contained countless white flying needles that were screeching through the air, and they rained down upon Duan Tong in the blink of an eye.

The needles were imbued with tremendous power, punching countless holes into Duan Tong's body and the ground around him, granting him a swift and painless death.

A fearful look appeared on Sun Tu's face upon seeing this, and he immediately turned to flee.

However, right at this moment, the bald man descended upon him atop his silver panther puppet, which was swinging its two massive front paws through the air in unison.

Having just witnessed how easily the giant wolf puppet had overwhelmed Duan Tong, Sun Tu didn't dare to directly withstand the puppet's attack, and he frantically dodged to the side, only just barely evading the puppet's sweeping paws.

Right at this moment, a sharp screeching sound rang out, and the giant wolf puppet released another torrential barrage of white needles that rained down upon Sun Tu.

Sun Tu let loose a low roar as a thin, black bone sword appeared in his hand amid a flash of black light, and he slashed his sword at the oncoming barrage of flying needles.

A burst of black light erupted out of the sword, then transformed into a projection of a black feline creature that opened its mouth to release a black whirlwind, which swept up all of the flying needles.

In the blink of an eye, all of the flying needles vanished without a trace, while the feline projection also faded away, but the black light emanating from the sword had dimmed significantly, indicating that it had just expended a great deal of its power.

However, Sun Tu then flipped a hand over to produce a white crystal, while he pressed into a slot on the hilt of the sword, and the crystal instantly vanished, while the black light radiating from the sword was restored to its former brightness.

A hint of surprise flashed through Zhuo Fa's eyes upon seeing this, but he continued to keep up the pressure, and the giant wolf puppet pounced on Sun Tu in the blink of an eye, displaying far superior speed to the silver panther puppet.

Sun Tu remained calm and composed as he once again evaded the puppet's sweeping front paws, but after failing to strike Sun Tu with its initial attack, the wolf puppet immediately pushed off against the ground with its hindlegs to send itself crashing toward Sun Tu like a small mountain.

Yet again, Sun Tu was just barely able to evade the attack.

Both Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing were carrying some injuries that hampered their combat prowess, and as result, Wu Yun and Hei Er had already gained the upper hand. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before they emerged victorious.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing were still standing in front of the Weeping Blood Array, making no attempt to enter it.

Zhuo Fa's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and he rushed over to the two of them atop his giant wolf puppet before asking in a cold voice, "What are you still waiting for, Fellow Daoist Chen Yang?"

Hei Da also arrived on the scene behind Zhuo Fa, and he suddenly interjected, "Hold on, something's not quite right here."

Only then did Zhuo Fa notice the dazed looks on Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing's face, and he drifted down from his puppet before giving Chen Yang a nudge as he asked, "What's going on here?"

However, Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing remained completely still and unresponsive.

"It looks to me like restrictions have been placed on their souls," Hei Da remarked.

"That does appear to be the case, but who could've done this? Does it have something to do with this array?" Zhuo Fa mused as he cast his gaze toward Han Li and Fu Jian inside the array.

At this point, the crimson cocoons around them had already become so thick that it was impossible to see the two of them from outside the array.

"In any case, we can't allow this array to keep operating any longer," Zhuo Fa said as a cold gleam flashed through his eyes, and he leaped back onto his giant wolf puppet.

A burst of radiant white light emerged over the puppet's body at his behest, all of which converged toward its only remaining front paw.

Immediately thereafter, the puppet sprang up into the air before swiping its front paw at the Weeping Blood Array, unleashing five crescent-shaped claw projections that were each several hundred feet in length.

The claw projections were giving off an extremely formidable aura, and Zhu Ziyuan and the others all turned to see what was happening from afar.

The five claw projections descended upon the crimson light barrier in the blink of an eye, and right at this moment, countless crimson runes suddenly appeared over the light barrier.

As a result, the light barrier was significantly bolstered, and an earth-shattering boom rang out as blinding red and white light erupted in all directions, causing the entire hall to tremble violently.

The tremors quickly subsided, while the white and red light also faded away to reveal the crimson light barrier, which remained completely unscathed.

Zhuo Fa's expression immediately darkened slightly upon seeing this.

"It looks like the two people in the array must be responsible for what happened to Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing. Palace Master Zhuo, let's combine our powers to break this light barrier together!" Hei Da urged.
