"Ah!!!"
Faced with this sudden "danger," the Golden Man Battle Puppet let out a roar filled with shock and fury.
Dragging his broken body, he struggled madly, his dark-golden fist attempting to smash into the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.
But suppressed by the slaying formation, his movements appeared so sluggish and powerless.
Meanwhile, Li Qingjue activated Nine Secrets: Xing. From the very beginning, her objective had been clear: while evading the pursuit of the three ancient Celestial Venerable phantoms,
