Under the watchful eyes of Chu Yu and Lin Yang.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the Bone Porcelain Puppet slowly looked over.

The empty gaze sent a chill down their spines.

"Stop standing there like idiots, attack, and then try to stall until the next person comes!" Lin Yang suddenly roared.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu's gaze hardened once more.

She nodded seriously, "I understand!"

The gravel and rays began to shoot rapidly toward the Bone Porcelain Puppet.

This time, even the Bone Porcelain Puppet seemed to have lost interest in playing with them.

Bone spurs continuously formed from its shoulders and neck, shooting out again and again to defend against attack after attack.

At the same time, the enormous bone claws swept rapidly back and forth across the ground, using the dust to conceal their form.

Unable to see the movements of the Bone Porcelain Puppet clearly, Chu Yu and Lin Yang temporarily suspended their attacks.

Just as they were frowning, they heard a "biubiu" sound next to their ears.

Several bone spikes shot out from the smoke and dust, heading straight for the two of them.

Chu Yu stared at the incoming attack, quickly determined the direction of the bone spikes in her mind, and then raised her hand and flicked it.

The rubble immediately flew towards the bone spike.

Amidst the clanging sounds, Chu Yu's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

A huge black shadow suddenly leaped out of the dust, its target...

"Bang!"

Chu Yu quickly stomped on the ground while simultaneously raising her wrist.

The suddenly appearing rubble around her quickly floated up and converged towards her.

The Bone Porcelain Puppet seemed to realize what she was about to do, and the cracks on its Bone Face opened up again.

The next moment.

"Kia..."

A sonic attack is coming.

Because I've already experienced it once, and I've taken corresponding precautions.

This time, Chu Yu didn't experience a sudden blurring of vision like before; her brain simply tilted back slightly as if struck by something.

Although the speed at which the stone walls converged was slightly affected, it was still gathering at an extremely fast pace.

Just as the stone walls were about to close in.

"Boom!"

A massive bony arm suddenly pierced through and became embedded in the partially closed stone wall.

Because of the obstruction of the stone wall, the bone arm could not continue its advance and injured Chu Yu.

However, due to the skeletal structure, the stone walls could not be completely closed.

The next moment, Chu Yu suddenly realized that a tremendous force was coming from the stone cone that had never closed.

Almost instinctively, without hesitation, Chu Yu increased the output of his Origin Power to maintain the stability of the surrounding stone walls.

Under no circumstances should the Bone Porcelain Puppet be allowed to suddenly appear in front of her.

Otherwise, with only a B-Class ability, she wouldn't have much resistance against a Bone Porcelain Puppet whose physical attributes were clearly Near-S-Class.

A dull sound traveled through the stone wall from the outside.

Meanwhile, Lin Yang took the opportunity to relentlessly attack the Bone Porcelain Puppet.

only...

This doesn't seem to work because...

The stone wall trembled slightly, and cracks spread wildly from the embedded bone arm as its center.

Chu Yu's arm trembled uncontrollably from the excessive force.

She tried to repair the cracks and close the stone wall again.

However, an absolute difference in power cannot be bridged by willpower or Origin Power.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the barrier, painstakingly formed from rubble, was torn apart and blown away from the outside!

Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

With the cover gone, Chu Yu was completely exposed.

What came into her view was the grotesque Bone Face of the Bone Porcelain Puppet, the bone spikes that kept flying out from behind it, and the flashing firelight.

It opened its mouth and laughed.

"Press the stabbed person..."

For some inexplicable reason, Chu Yu felt as if she understood what the Bone Porcelain Puppet was saying—"Got you!"

"Bang!"

The bone claws struck Chu Yu squarely.

A sharp pain swept through her body, and she instantly lost all strength, her figure flying out like a cannonball.

In the distance, Lin Yang looked at the Bone Porcelain Puppet with its numerous wounds, large and small, on its back, and a chill ran down his spine.

Before he could react, the Bone Porcelain Puppet slowly turned around, its empty eyes staring straight at him.

The tall figure lowered slightly, and in the next moment, only a blur remained in place.

"Boom! Bang! Biu!..."

All sorts of sounds rang out on the street.

Rays of light radiated from the street.

It might hit the walls of tall buildings, the pavement along the street, or even vehicles in the distance.

Explosions, flames, smoke...

Ten minutes later, the radiation stopped abruptly.

On the street, a tall figure stood quietly.

Its right claw was raised high, gripping Lin Yang's body tightly, lifting him off the ground like a bird with broken wings, suspending him in mid-air.

Click!

The sickening cracking sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

Lin Yang coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He didn't struggle or resist; he just stared listlessly at the night sky.

Super speed, super strong defense, and irresistible power...

He really didn't know how to handle all of this, and...

If even Near-S-Class beings are like this, what about the S-Class beings?

The Bone Porcelain Puppet slowly raised its arm.

It lifted the creature in front of it above itself, preparing to open its mouth and devour it to replenish its injuries and losses in the battle.

"Boom!"

A violent burst of air pressure suddenly exploded from the side!

A Greatsword, carrying immense force, slashed fiercely at the joint of the Bone Porcelain Puppet's arm that was gripping Lin Yang's arm!

Clang!

A deafening clang rang out, sparks flying everywhere!

The Bone Porcelain Puppet's arm trembled suddenly, and in pain, its bone claws instinctively loosened their grip slightly.

It was that moment of loosening!

Gu Lingxuan's figure flashed past like a ghost, grabbing Lin Yang's shoulder. The air pressure beneath her feet exploded again, forcefully pulling him out of the bone claws and forcing him to retreat rapidly!

After landing, she casually tossed Lin Yang to a relatively safe area behind her.

Before she could even tidy herself up, the Bone Porcelain Puppet had already caught up with her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Bone Porcelain Puppet transformed into a pale, blurry shadow, launching a furious, storm-like attack. Bone claws, bone spikes, and even its hard head became deadly weapons.

Gu Lingxuan struggled to block and dodge.

Each collision aggravated her injuries, making her feel as if her internal organs were about to be shattered.

She was like the last small boat in a storm, on the verge of capsizing at any moment, yet miraculously managing to hold on from devastating attacks time and time again.

But she was ultimately at her limit.

The speed slowed down for a moment.

A gap has appeared in the defense.

A bone claw pierced through the sword shadows and landed precisely on her abdomen.

"Ugh--!"

Gu Lingxuan's pupils suddenly dilated, her body bent into a painful arc, and all the power she had gathered completely dissipated at this moment.

Her figure flew out and only came to a slow stop more than a hundred meters away.
