Yun Leng and the others saw the black Dou Emperor Puppet charging at them like a ghost, and their expressions changed drastically. They immediately shouted, "Split up and run!"
Before Yun Leng and the others could react, the puppet's fist, carrying terrifying force, rapidly enlarged in their vision.
"Ke ke! Who would have thought a fallen Xiao Clan would actually possess a Dou Emperor Puppet? What a surprise!"
Just as they were about to be struck, an eerie laugh suddenly rang out above the Xiao Clan. A mass of black mist then appeared before Yun Leng and the others in an exceptionally strange manner.
"Clatter!"
A pitch-black iron chain gleaming with a deep, sinister luster suddenly shot out from the black mist. Its speed was terrifying, and it closed in on the black puppet in an instant.
The chain's tip was as sharp as a blade, piercing straight through the puppet's body in the blink of an eye.
"Explode!"
With that low shout, a surging torrent of energy instantly erupted from the black chain, completely engulfing the puppet!
Under the impact of that energy, the puppet's body creaked and cracked. A moment later, with a bang, its entire body exploded into countless fragments.
The moment the Dou Emperor Puppet was destroyed, both Xiao Zhan, who remained where he was, and Xiao Yao, who was rushing over, abruptly lost that faint connection with the puppet in their minds.
At that moment, Xiao Yao sensed that the Dou Emperor Puppet he had previously left with Xiao Zhan had been destroyed. Without hesitation, he immediately stopped moving forward.
When Xiao Yan, Qing Lin, and the others saw Xiao Yao stop, they hurriedly halted as well. Confusion and vigilance filled everyone's eyes.
