Having spoken, E Kui’s joints issued a series of “crackling” sounds, his figure suddenly rose several feet, and a palm protruded from his sleeve. Like Han Li before, his palm directly pressed against the blood-colored light curtain, causing it to cave inward as he struck the statue.

The moment his palm touched the statue, his five fingers immediately bent sharply, piercing the blood-colored light curtain and pressing onto the scaled beast statue.

Accompanied by rapid chanting, his five fingers twisted fiercely, causing the exotic beast statue to tremble violently, and the scarlet light illuminating it dimmed considerably.

With a soft “pop,” the blood cocoon surrounding Qin Yuan suddenly shattered.

E Kui performed a hand seal with one hand and stirred the blood array in the air with the other, immediately entangling a blood-colored glow, which condensed into a gigantic blood-colored hand, reaching out and grabbing toward Qin Yuan.

Seeing this, Han Li was about to intervene when he suddenly felt a palpitation and looked up at the high sky.

At the same time as Han Li noticed the anomaly, E Kui immediately reacted and looked up as well.

Above, where many large holes had been broken in the roof, no trace of the yellow sea of clouds could be seen. Instead, there was a dazzling silver radiance, cascading down like a waterfall.

"Zizzzz..."

As if a celestial thunder pool had suddenly overturned in the high sky, all the silver lightning plasma poured out, cascading straight down into the hall.

"Rumble"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, all the lightning plasma suddenly solidified, transforming into an incomparably thick lightning pillar that slammed down, striking E Kui’s head directly without deviation.

The lightning pillar was entwined with electric nets, and thick electric arcs constantly shot out, accompanied by sounds like dragon roars, displaying its power without reservation.

Seeing this, Han Li hurriedly controlled the formation, shifting his body and retreating a dozen feet.

A flash of surprise flickered in E Kui’s eyes. Without hesitation, he grabbed Qin Yuan, who he had just caught, and threw him upwards, directly colliding with the lightning pillar.

With a booming sound,

Qin Yuan didn't even have time to utter a scream before his body was directly reduced to ashes in a sea of silver light and electricity, not even his nascent soul could escape.

Large swathes of silver electric light exploded, transforming into a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire hall. Almost everyone couldn't help but step back and cover their eyes.

No one noticed that Chen Yang, who had been lying motionless on the ground, struggled to take out a palm-sized black round mirror from his bosom. His blood-stained hand slid across it a few times, and his lips slightly parted.

As if in response, a ring of white light appeared on E Kui's body.

The scattered electric light suddenly condensed again, transforming back into a lightning pillar, its power seemingly undiminished as it struck E Kui once more.

E Kui’s expression was ashen. He could no longer bother with Han Li and hurriedly retreated a dozen feet.

Seeing that the lightning missed and was about to fall to the ground, it suddenly turned sharply and chased after E Kui again.

E Kui frowned and flashed away again.

However, the lightning seemed to be guided, changing direction again and continuing to chase him.

E Kui's eyes darted around, inadvertently catching sight of the half of a black round mirror under Chen Yang's body. A flash of anger crossed his eyes. As he dodged in the air, he reached into his bosom and took out a palm-sized round mirror.

Except for the completely different color, the shape of the small mirror was no different from Chen Yang's black mirror.

"Good kid, you've been plotting against me for over a hundred years! Here, have it back." E Kui roared, raised his hand, and threw the white round mirror toward Chen Yang, who was lying on the ground.

The round mirror landed on the ground with a "smack" and rolled three times, coming to Chen Yang's side.

A flash of white light appeared on the mirror's surface, reflecting a white arc of light that struck E Kui like a maggot attached to a bone, no matter how he dodged, he couldn't shake it off.

"Hmph, you've worn it for so many years, the Yin-Yang Lightning Drawing Mirror is already saturated with your aura. You can't escape..." Chen Yang struggled to lift his head and looked over, saying with a sneer.

Hearing this, E Kui's anger flared even more, but he had no time to deal with him. The lightning was chasing too closely.

Zhu Ziyuan and the others didn't know where this inexplicable lightning came from, that it could force E Kui into such a sorry state.

Shi Chuan Kong and the others silently chanted, "Faster, faster..."

After repeated dodging, seeing that the lightning’s speed and power showed no signs of diminishing, a look of determination flashed in E Kui’s eyes.

He flew to the three stone arch bridges in front of the main hall and suddenly stopped. The white light on his body was dazzling, and more than a thousand mysterious acupoints lit up.

A visible protective energy seemed to emanate from his body, enveloping his entire body like a blazing white flame.

"Come!"

He roared and suddenly turned around, raising a fist and smashing it toward the oncoming lightning.

"Boom!"

A silver electric light suddenly exploded, transforming into a ball lightning that engulfed E Kui’s figure.

In the surrounding void, silver currents surged wildly, causing the space to fluctuate violently and unstably. Visible spatial rifts constantly appeared and then healed.

The blood-colored light curtain trembled violently, almost being torn apart. Fortunately, the great array absorbed the power of blood and flesh to replenish itself, preventing it from collapsing.

Han Li was shocked. He looked up at the high sky again, but saw the yellow sea of clouds reappearing, with a dark hole still swirling within, making it impossible to tell if any more lightning would fall.

His gaze sharpened, and he immediately urged the great array with all his might, doubling the absorption of blood and flesh from the Crying Blood Array, while keeping his mind on high alert, ready to retreat and escape at any moment.

A dozen breaths later, the giant ball lightning finally dissipated.

All the silver electric filaments gradually faded away, and E Kui’s figure, which had been enveloped within, reappeared.

He remained standing, his mysterious acupoints flickering like stars in the night sky. Only his right arm, which had made direct contact with the lightning pillar, had turned into black charcoal, with black embers constantly falling from it.

"Huff..."

E Kui exhaled a long breath, and a wisp of white smoke poured out of his mouth.

His right shoulder jolted violently, and his entire arm turned into a pile of black ashes, scattering away.

But soon, a burst of white light gushed out from where his arm had broken, covering the entire wound. Flesh and bones grew inch by inch, restoring his arm to its original state in just a few breaths.

……

E Kui’s cheeks were flushed, and the dazzling light from his mysterious acupoints disappeared, revealing his body.

His body was also blood red, with bulging blue veins protruding like countless blue pythons coiled around his body, making him look extremely terrifying.

"Ouroboros Armor Technique!" Within the blood array, Han Li's expression shifted.

In the next moment, the blood color on E Kui’s body instantly faded, and his face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and his steps became unsteady.

Not only that, but all the mysterious acupoints on his body emitted strands of blood with a "chi" sound, quickly dimming, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Although he had used the Ouroboros Armor Technique in time to withstand the lightning, the power of that earth-shattering lightning was too terrifying, injuring all the mysterious acupoints in his body.

"City Lord!" Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing rushed over, supporting E Kui on either side, with worried expressions on their faces.

E Kui ignored the two and looked up at the top of his head.

"Fellow Daoist E, long time no see, are you well?"

Just at this moment, accompanied by a series of giggling laughs, seven figures jumped down from the hole in the roof. The first one, wearing a white dress, was graceful, and it was Sha Xin.

The black-skirted woman with the black veil was also there, closely following Sha Xin.

The other five were Zhuo Ge, Wu Yun, a burly man, and two bald men in black armor.

E Kui narrowed his eyes, seemingly not surprised by the appearance of Sha Xin and the others. He pushed away Zhu Ziyuan and the two others, and steadied his body.

Sun Tu and the others were shocked to see the people of Puppet City appear.

Within the blood array, Han Li’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the people of Puppet City. His gaze lingered on the black-skirted woman for a moment, then immediately moved away. He still appeared to be in great pain, while secretly urging the little green bottle within his body to absorb the blood and flesh power surging from below.

The Puppet City people landed on the ground and saw the situation in the hall, especially the huge blood array and Han Li inside, and their expressions also changed.

The black-skirted woman’s beautiful eyes reflected the miserable Han Li in the blood array, and her delicate body suddenly trembled. A strange light appeared in her eyes, and her sandalwood mouth under the black veil slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something.

At this moment, several golden lines suddenly appeared on her brow, her eyes became dazed, but then quickly returned to normal, but the strange color in her eyes had disappeared without a trace, and she was completely calm.

The black-skirted woman’s change was only for a moment. No one present noticed it, but Han Li, who had been secretly paying attention to the black-skirted woman, saw it clearly, and was immediately stunned.

Just then, two figures flashed and掠 to Sha Xin and the others, it was Chen Yang and Xuan Yuanhang.

Chen Yang's face was covered with a layer of bright blood, as if he had taken some kind of pill, and he had regained his ability to move, but his movements were still a little unstable.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, years of planning have finally succeeded today. You deserve the first credit!" Zhuo Ge laughed loudly, his face full of excitement.

"It was a lucky success. Thanks to City Lord Sha Xin's ingenious arrangement, she sent this Yin Thunder Mirror to E Kui as a tribute when I first became the city lord of Qingyang City. The Yin Thunder power contained in this mirror has a body tempering effect, which is of great help to his cultivation. E Kui will definitely wear it close to his body, and everything will go as the city lord expected!" Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Xuan Yuanhang, you have been lurking in Xuancheng for many years, and you have worked hard. There will be a heavy reward later." Zhuo Ge said to Xuan Yuanhang again.

"It is my honor to share the worries of the city lord. I dare not ask for a reward!" Xuan Yuanhang said respectfully.

"Good, good, good! So you guys have been colluding for a long time and started planning from then on. You are really wise and far-sighted!" E Kui heard the conversation between Chen Yang and the others, his face was extremely ugly, and he said in a cold voice.
