"Want to run?"

Sha Xin sneered, her ten fingers moving rapidly.

The Golden Winged Owl spread its wings, transforming into a streak of golden light, chasing after E Kui and Madam Six Flowers with a series of afterimages. Its speed was astonishing, reaching behind the two in the blink of an eye. Its two giant claws descended upon them from above.

At that moment, Madam Six Flowers suddenly waved her sleeve in a backhand motion.

"Whoosh!"

A black light shot out from her sleeve, striking the oncoming Golden Winged Owl with lightning speed.

The black light was composed of countless tiny particles, emanating strange fluctuations.

"Taiyin Yuan Magnetic Aurora! Where did you get this!" Sha Xin exclaimed in surprise, grabbing with both hands in the void, then pulling sharply to the left.

The Golden Winged Owl's body immediately tilted to the left, attempting to avoid the black light.

However, the distance was too short, and the speed too fast. The Golden Winged Owl was struck in the abdomen by the black light before it could evade.

With a "bang," the black light exploded, transforming into wave-like black lights, firmly adhering to the Golden Winged Owl's body and rapidly spreading outwards.

The Golden Winged Owl's incredibly agile movements suddenly became stiff. Grating sounds echoed from within its body, as if the internal mechanisms were severely hindered. No matter how Sha Xin manipulated it, it remained unresponsive.

Taking advantage of the situation, Madam Six Flowers and E Kui slightly altered their direction, avoiding the Golden Winged Owl's impact path.

The Golden Winged Owl continued to fly forward at its original speed, like an arrow loosed from a crossbow, crashing heavily into the ground headfirst.

With a deafening "boom," the ground was smashed into a deep crater, sending dust and smoke flying everywhere.

Sha Xin did not manage to jump off in time and was also smashed into the pit.

Madam Six Flowers and E Kui continued to fly forward without pause.

Passing by a hidden location, E Kui's figure blurred, and he plunged into it.

A scream rang out, then abruptly ceased.

E Kui emerged from the hiding place, now holding someone in his hand.

Inside the blood formation, Han Li's gaze fell upon the person E Kui was holding, and his expression shifted slightly.

It was none other than Shi Chuan Kong.

Traces of blood were visible on his body, and his eyes were closed, but his aura remained. He seemed to have merely been knocked unconscious.

Han Li felt a slight sense of relief, but also a sense of puzzlement. In such a critical moment, when he himself was injured and not yet out of danger, why would E Kui bother capturing Shi Chuan Kong instead of escaping?

E Kui continued to fly forward at lightning speed, appearing before the cracked wall in a flash, without slowing down.

The white starlight on his fist intensified, albeit somewhat unstable. With a "chih" sound, it transformed into a white meteor, slamming into the wall.

With a resounding "boom!"

The entire building shook violently, and a hole taller than a person was blasted into the wall, allowing light from outside to flood in.

At that moment, a figure flew out from the distant pit, none other than Sha Xin.

"Don't even think about it!"

Seeing E Kui's actions, she revealed an anxious expression and charged towards the two like lightning, her speed surprisingly fast.

As she flew, Sha Xin waved her hands, and two silver spheres flew out from her sleeves once more.

With a "kaka" sound, the two silver spheres split open, transforming into two silver giant birds in the blink of an eye. With rapid flapping of their wings, they lunged at E Kui and the others like lightning.

At the same time, the silver giant bird puppets’ surfaces shimmered with silver light, and countless sharp silver darts burst forth from them in a dense rain, directly covering E Kui and the others.

Although Sha Xin's series of actions were fast, she was still some distance away from E Kui. Before the silver dart puppets could arrive, E Kui had already grabbed Madam Six Flowers and flashed out of the hole, disappearing without a trace.

Chih chih chih!

Countless silver darts struck the wall, immediately creating a dense array of tiny holes.

The silver giant bird puppets and the Golden Winged Owl puppet from before were similar in appearance, but their power was far inferior. The tiny holes were not very deep, far less than the Golden Winged Owl's golden wings.

However, the two silver giant birds were also extremely fast, not much slower than the Golden Winged Owl. They flew forward like lightning, but couldn't stop their momentum and crashed heavily into the hole in the wall.

Two loud "boom" sounds!

The entire building shook violently again, and the hole in the wall became several times larger, but it was still not large enough for the two puppets to pass through.

Cracking sounds rang out as the two silver puppets became stuck in the hole, struggling and writhing like living things, making them look quite comical.

A figure flashed, and Sha Xin's figure flew to the wall.

Her face was now ashen, and her hands moved like wheels in front of her chest, rapidly forming hand seals.

The surfaces of the two puppets shimmered with silver light, and their massive bodies rapidly shrunk, transforming back into two silver spheres in the blink of an eye, returning to her hands.

"Xiao Zi and Kun Yu, follow me to chase after E Kui. Zhuo Ge, I'll leave this place to you. I'll also let you temporarily control the Golden Winged Owl. Kill all the Profound City thieves here!" Sha Xin turned to look at Zhuo Ge and issued a cold command.

Fu Jian was still trapped inside the blood cocoon, remaining silent, and his aura was growing weaker, clearly close to death.

Of the other three city lords, Qin Yuan died from lightning strikes, and Chen Yang had already betrayed to the Puppet City.

On the Profound City side, only Han Li, Sun Tu, Duan Tong, Zhu Ziyuan, and Zhu Ziqing remained.

Hearing this, Duan Tong, Zhu Ziyuan, and Zhu Ziqing of Profound City's expressions changed drastically. They wanted to escape, but they didn't dare to act rashly due to Sha Xin's power.

Sun Tu's body shimmered with black light. He stood up, having used some secret technique. His expression also sank upon hearing this.

"Xiao Zi..." Han Li muttered.

"Yes! Rest assured, City Lord," Zhuo Ge said expressionlessly, cupping his fist.

The woman in the black dress and the burly man agreed, stepping forward from the crowd and landing behind Sha Xin, one on the left and one on the right.

"Her name is Xiao Zi!" Han Li's eyes flashed, and he stared intently at the woman in the black dress.

Sha Xin was about to leave when she suddenly sensed something and looked back at Han Li inside the blood formation.

Han Li's heart tightened, and he quickly gathered his thoughts, concentrating on pretending to be foolish.

Sha Xin frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but she didn't linger. She quickly withdrew her gaze and flew out of the hole.

The woman in the black dress and the burly man followed closely behind Sha Xin, also flying out of the hole and disappearing into the distance.

Without a word, Zhuo Ge waved his hand, and Wu Yun, the two bald men, Chen Yang, Xuan Yuanxing, and the other six surrounded Sun Tu and the other four.

The four had ugly expressions. Although they had just been fighting each other, they now subconsciously stood back-to-back.

Inside the blood formation, Han Li ignored Zhuo Ge and the others, looking in the direction the woman in the black dress had gone, gritting his teeth in secret.

Then, the expression on his face returned to calm, and he continued to activate the blood formation, frantically absorbing the massive blood energy from underground.

Now that Sha Xin and E Kui had both left, he no longer needed to worry about anything. He simply intercepted nearly half of the blood energy from the blood formation, integrating it into his body and circulating the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Technique to refine it.

His body suddenly glowed with bright blood, and he began to assault the profound apertures once more.

The blood formation had incredible blood energy; Han Li's body flashed with white light, and with a series of muffled "bang" sounds, one profound aperture after another opened in succession.

The entire Blood Offering Formation also suddenly brightened, and countless blood lights circulated rapidly within it, faintly forming a vortex.

The sudden change in the blood formation immediately attracted the attention of Zhuo Ge and the others.

In that instant when Zhuo Ge and the others were distracted, two figures shot out from the Puppet City encirclement: Sun Tu and Duan Tong.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing also transformed into two afterimages, flying out of the encirclement and escaping in another direction.

Zhuo Ge cursed himself for being careless. He immediately chased after Sun Tu and the other, with one of the bald men, while shouting, "Wu Yun, you and Hei Er go after the other two. Chen Yang, Xuan Yuanxing, leave the two in the blood formation to you."

Wu Yun and another bald man agreed, chasing after Zhu Ziyuan and his sister.

Chen Yang and Xuan Yuanxing flashed to the side of the blood formation, looking into the formation.

At that moment, a cold snort suddenly rang in their ears, and their bodies shook abruptly, showing a look of pain.

Their souls seemed to have been stabbed by a red-hot knife. Just as they were about to cry out in agony, two beams of crystalline light shot out from the blood formation, faintly revealing a few chains within them. They flashed and disappeared into their heads.

Chen Yang and Xuan Yuanxing's bodies froze completely, their eyes staring blankly into space.

The series of changes was as fast as lightning. Zhuo Ge and the others did not notice. From a distance, Chen Yang and the others stood there, seemingly observing the blood formation.

"For the sake of our past acquaintance, I will not take your lives, but do not disturb me," Han Li murmured inside the blood formation, a wisp of crystalline light slowly dissipating from his brow.

As soon as his voice fell, he continued to fully activate the blood formation, attacking the profound apertures.

Sun Tu and Duan Tong escaped the encirclement and immediately ran towards the hole that E Kui had created.

However, both of them were injured, limiting their speed. They were intercepted by Zhuo Ge and the bald man midway.

Accompanied by two loud "boom" sounds, a white giant wolf and a silver giant leopard descended from the sky, landing heavily in front of the two, blocking their path.

Both puppets were about a dozen meters tall, and their massive bodies cast large shadows, enveloping the two.

Zhuo Ge and the bald man each stood on a giant beast.

Sun Tu and Duan Tong stopped, their faces extremely ugly, and a hint of despair was faintly revealed in the depths of their eyes.

"Although I have no grudges with you two, the City Lord has just ordered me to take your lives, so I'll have to offend you," Zhuo Ge said indifferently.

As soon as his voice fell, his ten fingers moved slightly, and faint crystal threads flickered at his fingertips.

"Roar!"

The white wolf puppet opened its bloody mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth, devouring Sun Tu and the others.

Before the mouth arrived, a gust of wind had already swept over, shaking Sun Tu and Duan Tong, and they felt unstable.
