390: Freeze the black fog

Before the words fell, the foremost vengeful spirit Puppet had already transformed into a black shadow and shot towards them.

Bi Yao turned sideways, shielding Su Han behind her. Her dagger sliced out a golden half-arc, colliding with the rusty battle axe in the Puppet's hand.

Amidst the deafening roar, dark gold patterns intensely clashed with the eerie blue evil light. The sparks that flew landed on the ground, corroding it into charred pits.

Su Han seized the opportunity to swing his dagger, carving several ice marks around the Puppet's body.

However, as soon as these ice marks appeared, they were quickly melted away by the black mist emanating from the Puppet.

More vengeful spirit Puppets surrounded them. Their movements were uniform, each attack perfectly coordinated as if practiced countless times.

Bi Yao felt the dark gold patterns on her arm beginning to heat up. For every Puppet she repelled, more black figures filled the gap.

Her stamina was rapidly depleting, and her breathing became hurried.

The Armored Man stood behind the barrier, a mocking smile on his face. From time to time, he would wave the star chart fragment in his hand, controlling the rhythm of the vengeful spirit Puppets' attacks.

"This won't do!" Su Han shouted loudly, "They seem to have no weakness!"

Bi Yao clenched her teeth, her gaze sweeping towards the Armored Man.

She suddenly realized that whenever the Armored Man waved the star chart fragment, the vengeful spirit Puppets' movements would become more swift and fierce.

"The star chart fragment!" she cried out, "Attack the star chart fragment in his hand!"

Su Han immediately understood. Enduring his weakened state, he gathered the last bit of strength within his body onto the dagger.

With a loud shout, the ice crystals on the dagger instantly burst forth with dazzling light. An ice-blue light blade flew towards the Armored Man.

The Armored Man snorted coldly. A layer of black mist appeared around the star chart fragment in his hand, easily blocking the light blade.

At the same time Su Han launched his attack, Bi Yao also charged towards the densest area of vengeful spirit Puppets.

Her dagger danced impenetrably. Wherever the dark gold light reached, the black mist of the vengeful spirit Puppets was significantly dispersed.

But the Puppets seemed oblivious to pain. Even when their bodies were cleaved, they would quickly reassemble and continue their attack.

The chanting sound from the depths of the cave grew louder and louder, the low voice seemingly echoing in everyone's heart.

Bi Yao could feel the ground beneath her feet vibrating slightly, and the sinking speed of the distant giant sword was also accelerating.

She knew they didn't have much time left.

"Su Han, use your ice power to freeze this black mist!" Bi Yao shouted, "I'll look for an opportunity to attack the star chart fragment!"

Su Han nodded, formed hand seals, and muttered incantations.

A chill emanated from his body, and the surrounding black mist began to condense into ice.

The movements of the vengeful spirit Puppets also became sluggish as a result.

Bi Yao seized this chance, moving like lightning, and charged towards the Armored Man.

The Armored Man was slightly taken aback, not expecting Bi Yao to suddenly attack.

But he quickly reacted. The star chart fragment in his hand erupted with intense light, and a black barrier appeared before him.

Bi Yao's dagger stabbed the barrier, producing a harsh sound, but it could not penetrate even a fraction.

After a brief delay, the vengeful spirit Puppets regained their mobility.

They surrounded Bi Yao and Su Han once again, their attacks fiercer than before.

Su Han's ice power was continuously being consumed. His face grew paler and paler, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Bi Yao looked at Su Han's appearance, her heart aching.

She knew that if this continued, they would eventually be worn down by the vengeful spirit Puppets.

She closed her eyes, concentrating, trying to mobilize the mysterious dark gold power within her body.

The dark gold patterns surged wildly across her body, the light growing brighter and brighter, dyeing the entire cave golden.

Suddenly, Bi Yao felt a slight change in the power within her body.

She opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them. (End of Chapter)
