Chapter 977: Shi Zhanfeng’s Revenge

As E Kuai came swooping down from above, a giant black sword that was over ten feet in length appeared in his grasp amid a flash of black light. The sword was slightly curved, resembling a black dragon, and it was giving off an incredibly formidable aura.

A series of white patterns were engraved onto the blade of the sword, forming a starry cloud design with over two hundred star acupoints flashing within it.

A grim look appeared on Sha Xin's face at the sight of the sword, and the four puppets instantly converged toward E Kuai at her behest.

Despite how massive the sword was, it appeared to be no heavier than a feather in E Kuai's hands, and he swung it through the air at the four oncoming puppets.

A fierce battle ensued, and a string of resounding booms rang out, causing the entire entire underground space to tremble violently.

E Kuai was revealing the full extent of his power here, and it was truly an incredible sight to behold.

Just as he predicted, the injuries sustained by Sha Xin hampered her puppet manipulation prowess significantly, and she was quickly forced onto the back foot, but she was still able to prevent E Kuai from reaching the holy remains for now.

Han Li was standing beside the holy remains at the center of the lake of blood, observing the battle between Sha Xin and E Kuai with a stunned look in his eyes.

Even though he had opened over two hundred profound acupoints in the Weeping Blood Array, there was still a massive gap between himself and the two city lords.

"Give the heart back to me, you human scum!"

Right at this moment, a furious roar rang out as Shi Zhanfeng came rushing at Han Li with a near deranged look in his eyes.

The hole in his chest had already healed, and a series of black patterns had appeared over his arms, giving off an extremely cold and violent aura.

On top of that, his speed had also been greatly enhanced, and he reached Han Li in the blink of an eye before throwing an almighty punch.

A vast expanse of black light erupted out of the palm of his hand, forming a black fist projection that was several dozen feet in size.

Han Li threw a punch of his own to oppose the black fist projection, and a resounding boom rang out as the fist projection exploded upon contact.

An unnatural flush appeared over Shi Zhanfeng's face, and he was sent flying back through the air, but Han Li was also sent stumbling back three steps in succession as a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

That black fist projection had been imbued with far greater power than what Shi Zhanfeng had demonstrated up to this point, and it had also released bursts of strange, invasive power that were surging into his body, completely bypassing his True Extreme Film.

Right at this moment, the two puppets under Xiao Zi's control appeared above Shi Zhanfeng, and the winged puppet flapped its wings to send a flurry of blades of white light raining down upon Shi Zhanfeng, while the feline puppet opened its mouth to release what appeared to be around a dozen silver branches, each of which released a bolt of silver lightning that also crashed down upon Shi Zhanfeng.

A disdainful sneer appeared on Shi Zhanfeng's face as a translucent black film appeared over his entire body, withstanding the blades of white light and bolts of silver lightning with ease.

At the same time, he abruptly lashed out with both hands, and two giant blades of black light erupted out of his arms, sweeping through the air toward the two puppets.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he suddenly fell forward, but his feet were still firmly rooted to the ground.

As a result, Shi Zhanfeng's saber flashed through the air above his head.

Shi Zhanfeng was clearly caught off guard by this, and he hurriedly tried to dart back in retreat, but right at this moment, Han Li's body sprang bolt upright again as he swung his right elbow at Shi Zhanfeng in a vicious strike.

The attack was too fast for Shi Zhanfeng to evade, so he could only raise an arm to defend himself. The black patterns on his arm lit up as it made contact with Han Li's elbow, and the clear sound of bones shattering rang out in his arm as he was sent flying back through the air with a stunned look in his eyes.

However, he then twisted around in mid-air before flying toward the pair of giant humanoid puppets.

At this point, the two puppets had already steadied themselves, and they paid no heed to the oncoming Shi Zhanfeng as they pounced at Han Li again while swinging their swords at him with formidable power.

Han Li was about to set off in pursuit of Shi Zhanfeng, but he was stopped in his tracks by the two puppets, and he lashed out with his fists in retaliation, unleashing a pair of huge, white fist projections that struck the oncoming golden swords with an explosive boom.

The two fist projections exploded upon contact, but the golden swords were also stopped cold in their tracks, while their puppet wielders were each forced back a step.

Right at this moment, a streak of golden light shot forth from between the two puppets, and it contained a golden spear that was aimed directly at Han Li's chest.

The wielder of the spear was none other than Xiao Zi, and at this moment, she was wearing a suit of tight-fitting golden armor that accentuated her gorgeous curves, and there was a design o fa majestic golden bird engraved onto the suit of armor.

The design was extremely lifelike, and every single line was radiating dazzling golden light, clearly indicating that this was no ordinary suit of armor.

Han Li joined his palms together to clamp the tip of the golden spear between them, instantly stopping the spear cold in its tracks.

A burst of radiant golden light instantly emerged over Xiao Zi's armor, and around fifty to sixty star acupoints appeared on its surface.

With her strength bolstered by the power transmitted into her body by the suit of golden armor, she tugged on her spear with all her might, but it remained firmly locked into place.

"Do you not recognize me, Fellow Daoist Xiao Zi?" Han Li asked through voice transmission as he looked directly into her eyes.

However, Xiao Zi was completely cold and responsive to his words, and a layer of crimson light appeared over her face beneath her veil, indicating that she was about to unleash some type of secret technique that granted her short-term power at the expense of severe long-term detrimental effects.

Han Li heaved an internal sigh upon seeing this, then thrust his palms forward, sending Xiao Zi and her spear flying.

Right at this moment, Shi Zhanfeng suddenly appeared behind Xiao Zi with a sinister grin on his face, and he swung his black saber down upon her head without any hesitation.

A black, beastly projection appeared over the blade of the saber, and its weight instantly increased by over tenfold as it swept through the air, leaving a long spatial rift in its wake.

Xiao Zi was still in the process of flying back through the air, so there was no way that she could evade the attack.
