"Boom!"
With an ear-splitting crash, the puppet beneath Bai Chan was sent hurtling backward by Xu Taiping and the bull Blightbone's combined strike.
This puppet, however.
Was clearly of a higher rank than the one Xu Taiping had just cleaved apart.
Because Xu Taiping discovered.
That his slash, backed by blade force concentrating the might of four thousand slashes, had actually failed to cut it in half.
It had only left a deep blade mark across its chest.
"Boom!!!"
Just then, another Blightbone demonic beast attracted by the scent of blood suddenly lunged out from beside Xu Taiping.
This Blightbone had a wolf's skeleton, but it was dozens of times larger than an ordinary wolf, and it ran so fast that it tore through the air with a whistle.
"Boom!"
After charging up to the puppet, the giant wolf Blightbone suddenly leaped, then extended its claws and swiped viciously at Bai Chan and her puppet.
"Whoosh!"
Amid a piercing whistle through the air, the giant wolf's claw shadow, bearing storm-like gang qi, shattered the puppet's head in a single swipe.
Even Bai Chan, seated on the puppet's shoulder, was injured by the gang qi carried by that claw strike. Her freshly recovered body was immediately scored with bloody gashes.
"Boom! Boom!"

So he did not continue his pursuit, but examined those Blightbones instead.
Judging by their appearance, the two Blightbones that had just charged toward Bai Chan
