Chapter 969: Anomaly Within the Formation

Sun Tu and Duan Tong faced the gaping maw of the White Wolf Puppet and hurriedly leaped back to dodge.

Unexpectedly, despite its massive size, the white giant wolf moved with surprising agility and speed. Darkness fell before Duan Tong's eyes as a front paw the size of a millstone appeared out of nowhere, descending with a savage swipe.

Duan Tong's expression changed drastically, but trapped in mid-air, he couldn't evade. He had no choice but to thrust out his thick right arm, upon which the Mysterious Apertures shone brightly, coalescing into a dazzling white pillar of light that clashed head-on with the descending paw.

A sharp "crack" resounded!

Duan Tong's previously invincible thick right arm twisted and snapped directly. He was flung away like a straw doll, crashing heavily to the ground, spewing blood from his mouth.

The White Wolf Puppet's massive body swayed, staggering backward a step, but it quickly regained its footing. Once again, it opened its mouth wide and spat fiercely at Duan Tong.

A white light flashed in the giant wolf puppet's mouth, and its entire head twitched violently, instantly emitting a deep rumbling sound.

A burst of white light erupted from its mouth, revealing countless white needles, screaming like ghosts, striking Duan Tong's body and the ground within a few dozen feet with tremendous force.

The ground within a few dozen feet directly caved in, such was the power contained within these needles.

Duan Tong's entire body sank into the ground, riddled with countless holes from the needles, and he died without even a scream.

Sun Tu, witnessing this scene, revealed a look of fear and turned to flee.

At that moment, darkness suddenly descended above his head as the bald man steered another Silver Leopard Puppet, pouncing from above, its two massive leopard claws slashing down fiercely.

Having just witnessed the power of the other Giant Wolf Puppet easily killing Duan Tong, Sun Tu didn't dare resist. White light flared around his legs as he dodged quickly to the side, barely avoiding the Silver Leopard Puppet's pounce.

Just then, a piercing whistling sound rang out as the Giant Wolf Puppet in the distance opened its mouth towards Sun Tu, a white light flashing as countless white needles sprayed out, raining down.

Sun Tu let out a low growl, a black light flashing in his hand, and a slender black bone sword appeared out of thin air. He slashed the sword through the air towards the rain of needles.

A black haze abruptly rose from the black sword, swirling into a mountain cat-like black monster phantom, which faced the rain of needles and opened its mouth to suck.

A black light flew out like a whirlwind, engulfing the needles.

A flash of white, and all the needles disappeared without a trace.

The black beast phantom also flashed and retreated into the black sword, vanishing without a trace, and the sword's black light dimmed considerably.

However, Sun Tu flipped his palm, and a white crystal particle appeared, which he pressed into a groove on the black sword's hilt.

The crystal particle flashed with white light and disappeared instantly, and the light on the black sword's blade immediately returned to its original brilliance.

"Oh!"

Zhuo Ge let out a soft exclamation at the sight, but his hand movements didn't slow down as his fingers danced.

The Giant Wolf Puppet moved its four hooves, its massive body transforming into a white blur as it pounced, instantly appearing before Sun Tu, its speed more than twice as fast as the Silver Leopard Puppet, its two front paws slashing down with a force that seemed to cleave everything.

Sun Tu didn't panic. White light shone brightly from the Mysterious Apertures on his legs as he dodged again.

But the Giant Wolf Puppet missed its pounce, landing on all fours and stomping hard, its massive body continuing to ram into Sun Tu like a small mountain, with almost no interval between attacks.

Sun Tu's body swayed violently, narrowly dodging.

The Giant Wolf Puppet missed two consecutive strikes, its body surface flashing with white light as it turned its head lightning-fast and bit down on Sun Tu, streaks of afterimages trailing between its teeth, its speed even faster than before.

Sun Tu staggered his steps, his movements changing, dodging again.

As the City Lord of White Rock City, even if he was seriously injured, his strength far exceeded Duan Tong and the others, and the Giant Wolf Puppet couldn't do anything to him for a while.

The Giant Wolf Puppet roared wildly and attacked again, pouncing, biting, tearing, grabbing - all kinds of attacks rained down like a storm. Every part of its body was a weapon, even more agile than a real living creature, but the needle attacks were never used, as if it had run out of them.

Although it lacked the killing weapon of the needles, making it difficult to defeat the enemy with one blow, the white light on the Giant Wolf Puppet's body rapidly brightened, and its speed also became faster and faster, its body turning into a white blur, gradually catching up with Sun Tu.

The other bald man simply steered the Silver Leopard Puppet to stand in the distance and watch, not offering assistance.

Zhuo Ge's "Gusting Phantom Wolf" was an extremely exquisite puppet within Puppet City. Dealing with an injured City Lord of Mysterious City was not a problem, and moreover, his intervention would only get in the way, so he didn't take action.

Seeing the White Wolf Puppet's attack speed increasing, it suddenly swiped a claw horizontally.

Sun Tu flashed to dodge, but the White Wolf Puppet's claw had a tricky angle and was too fast, and he was about to be hit.

He shouted loudly, and the black sword in his hand slashed through the air again, the blade suddenly erupting with a large amount of black light, transforming into the phantom of that raccoon monster again, biting the White Wolf's front paw and sucking fiercely.

A flash of white, and the White Wolf Puppet's front paw seemed to melt away, disappearing into thin air.

The black monster flashed again and shrank back into the black sword's blade.

But at that moment, the White Wolf Puppet's body rolled over, and its other front paw also swung out like lightning, as if it had calculated when the raccoon monster phantom would appear. Both the timing and the angle were perfect. In the instant the raccoon monster phantom shrank back and disappeared, the front paw slashed across, grabbing Sun Tu's chest.

Blood splattered!

Sun Tu was also sent flying. Several long and deep wounds were torn across his chest, and blood spurted out wildly. He crashed straight to the ground with a "bang."

Before he could get up, a sharp whistling sound passed as a short halberd shot through the air, piercing through Sun Tu's lower abdomen and Dantian, pinning his body to the ground.

Sun Tu struggled twice, but soon stopped moving completely.

"Hall Master Zhuo's puppet manipulation skills have improved a lot! It seems that in Puppet City, no one remembers you except the City Lord. Admirable." The bald man urged the Silver Leopard Puppet to come over and said with a smile.

"Brother Hei is too kind. When it comes to puppet manipulation, not to mention Hall Master Wu Yun, Hall Master Kunyu is no less skilled than Zhuo. The newly arrived Little Zi is even more amazingly talented, and even the City Lord praises her and has been personally guiding her these years. Now her puppet manipulation skills probably have received the City Lord's true teachings. How dare I claim to be the best." Zhuo Ge smiled faintly and said.

As he spoke, he leaped down and landed next to Sun Tu, retrieving the short halberd with a single grab.

His gaze then turned to the black bone sword that had fallen to the side. He waved his hand to retrieve it, flipped it over a few times, and his eyes lit up slightly, a hint of a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Zhuo Ge put away the bone sword, then reached into Sun Tu's arms and groped for a while, taking out some things and putting them away, and soon leaped back onto the White Wolf Puppet.

Hei Da didn't say anything when he saw Zhuo Ge's actions.

Since Sun Tu was killed by Zhuo Ge, the things on his body naturally belonged to Zhuo Ge.

The two then turned their heads to look towards Wu Yun and Chen Yang, where Wu Yun and Zhu Ziyuan, Zhu Ziqing were fighting intensely.

The Zhu Ziyuan siblings were unharmed and had strong strength. Although Wu Yun and the others tried their best, they couldn't take them down for a while, but Wu Yun and the others had already gained the upper hand at this moment, and it was only a matter of time before they won.

But Chen Yang and Xuan Yuanxing were standing near the Blood Formation, looking into the formation without moving, obviously not having taken action since the beginning.

Zhuo Ge's expression sank, and he urged the White Wolf Puppet to gallop over, arriving near Chen Yang and the others in the blink of an eye.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Yang, why aren't you taking action!" Zhuo Ge asked in a deep voice.

"Huh, what's wrong with them?" Hei Da also followed over and suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing this, Zhuo Ge scanned their empty, dull eyes, and his expression couldn't help but change. He floated down from the puppet.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhuo Ge touched their bodies, but Chen Yang and Xuan Yuanxing remained unresponsive.

"Looking at this, it seems that their souls have been imprisoned and controlled." Hei Da examined their expressions and said.

"I think so too, but who did it? Could it be related to this Blood Formation?" Zhuo Ge muttered to himself, then suddenly looked at Han Li and Fu Jian in the Blood Formation.

The blood cocoons around Han Li and the others were getting thicker and thicker, and the situation inside could no longer be seen from the outside. Only bursts of rumbling sounds could be heard.

"Regardless of whether it was done by the people inside, this Blood Formation cannot be allowed to continue operating." A cold light flashed in Zhuo Ge's eyes, and he leaped onto the back of the White Wolf Puppet, his fingers pinching.

A dazzling white light emerged from all over the White Wolf Puppet's body, and as he cast the spell, it converged towards its only front paw.

"Open!" Zhuo Ge's expression was solemn, and his fingers danced.

The White Wolf Puppet's massive body leaped up, and its front paw waved through the air.

With a "chi la" sound, five crescent-shaped white rays appeared out of thin air and quickly grew larger.

In the blink of an eye, each of the five light blades grew to dozens of feet in size, emitting dazzling white light that was impossible to look at directly.

The light blades emitted a horrifying sizzling sound as they cut through the void, exuding a sharp intent to cut through everything.

Wu Yun, Zhu Ziyuan, and the others who were fighting fiercely in the distance sensed the situation at the Blood Formation and slowed their movements, turning their heads to look over.

The five white light blades seemed slow but were actually fast, appearing before the Blood-colored Barrier in a flash and slashing down fiercely.

At that moment, countless blood-colored runes suddenly appeared on the Blood-colored Barrier. A burst of blood-colored crystal light flowed, and the barrier suddenly became more than twice as thick, emitting a soaring blood light that greeted the five light blades.

A deafening roar of "boom!"

Red and white lights erupted into the sky, and the entire hall shook violently. Countless large and small gravel fell like rain, and the cracks on the surrounding walls deepened a lot.

The shaking of the hall quickly subsided, and the red and white light also quickly dissipated, revealing the Blood-colored Barrier, which remained in its original state, showing no signs of damage.

Zhuo Ge's expression sank immediately at the sight.

"It seems that what happened to Chen Yang and the others was done by the two people inside the Blood Formation. Hall Master Zhuo, let me lend you a hand and break this restriction together!" Hei Da shouted from the side.
