"Who would have thought that I would encounter an illusion array phenomenon here…" Han Li said with a smile, showing little sign of alarm.

"Brother Li, you are certainly calm. This illusion array is not simple. I just tried to break it with my clan's divine sense secret technique, but failed. If you have a way to break it, you should act as soon as possible before the illusion array turns into a killing array," Shi Chuan Kong said, looking at Han Li with a wry smile.

Han Li nodded and said nothing more, silently activating the Refinement Art.

As the power of his divine sense increased, when he looked around again, he saw that those beautiful women with skin like solidified fat, who were dancing gracefully, had all turned into hideous, decaying, and gaunt skeletons, which were extremely terrifying.

"Hiss…" Han Li sucked in a breath of cold air in surprise.

"What, could it be that you can't break it either?" Shi Chuan Kong asked.

"This illusion array does have some tricks, but it shouldn't be difficult to break," Han Li said with a smile, quite confident.

As soon as he finished speaking, an unexpected change occurred.

Those women who had turned into decaying ghosts seemed to have discovered that Han Li was breaking the array. They all dropped the pipa in their hands and stretched out their sharp-fingered ghost claws, rushing towards him.

"Break!"

Han Li fully activated the fifth layer of the Refinement Art technique and roared.

The entire hall seemed to echo with a thunderclap. Even Shi Chuan Kong felt his heart jolt violently. The ghost women who had not yet rushed to the front of him exploded under this roar, turning into a cloud of dark red sparks and dissipating.

However, after the ghost women disappeared, the surrounding phenomena did not completely disappear. They were still in that magnificent palace.

"It seems that we can only completely exit the array by breaking the array hub… Brother Shi, you must stand firm," Han Li said after a moment of contemplation.

With that, he supported Shi Chuan Kong's shoulder and lifted one foot, stepping down heavily.

With a loud "boom", the entire palace floor collapsed, turning into a bottomless black hole. Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong fell straight into it.

After a dozen breaths, they felt the sensation of falling disappear and regained their footing. When they looked around again, they had returned to the temple.

However, the two of them were now standing in the center of the dried-up pool, and the stone arch bridge under them had broken, obviously shattered by Han Li's foot.

"It seems that the array hub of the illusion array is this stone arch bridge under our feet," Shi Chuan Kong said thoughtfully.

Han Li nodded upon hearing this and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to look behind the temple.

On the six halberd-wielding warrior statues kneeling on the stone platform, there was a faint "crackling" sound. Fine cracks appeared on their surfaces, like porcelain cracking, covering their entire bodies.

Immediately afterward, a red light flashed in their eyes, and the six identical heads seemed to come to life, turning to look at Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong.

"Here we go again…" Han Li shook his head.

The six halberd-wielding warriors made a loud "crackling" sound. Pieces of stone skin peeled off their surfaces, revealing the true puppet bodies inside, and slowly stood up.

They held black halberds in their hands, and some stone skin had not completely peeled off their faces, revealing some mottled traces.

After standing up, the six men moved their necks in a very human-like manner, and then, holding their respective halberds, jumped towards Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong.

The six men split into two teams in mid-air, with three rushing towards Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong respectively, separating them.

Han Li first took a step back, dodging the halberd thrust of one of the warriors. Then, he stomped on the ground, and the Starmoon Boots suddenly exerted force, his figure darting out like a ghost, almost instantly reaching the warrior.

With a flick of his wrist, he held the curved blade in reverse and swept it towards the warrior's neck.

However, before his blade could reach, the halberds of the other two halberd-wielding warriors on his left and right had already thrust over, one aimed at his throat and the other at his dantian.

Han Li was slightly surprised, but his footwork changed. He spun in place like a top, knocking away the halberd aimed at his throat with one blade, and kicking away the halberd aimed at his dantian.

At this moment, the sound of wind suddenly rose behind his ears. The halberd of the previous warrior had stabbed towards the back of his neck.

Han Li tilted his head sharply, dodging the dangerous attack, but was extremely surprised.

The coordination between the three puppets in front of him was simply more tacit than that of ordinary cultivators, and was completely different from those he had encountered along the way.

Fortunately, their speed was not too fast, otherwise, with such close coordination, Han Li could hardly guarantee that he would not be hit.

While Han Li was secretly surprised, his hands and feet were not slow at all. He grabbed the halberd that had stabbed from beside his ear and pressed it down sharply, using the strength of his shoulder to throw it out directly.

Before the halberd-wielding warrior could land, his Starmoon Boots exerted force again, and his figure flashed past, chasing him in mid-air. A white rainbow swept across, cutting him in half along with the halberd.

On the other side, two warrior puppets attacked from the left and right, forcing Shi Chuan Kong into a corner of the pool.

Their two halberds were thrust out in a crisscross pattern, blocked by Shi Chuan Kong's arms in front of his chest. The halberd shafts pressed down in a cross shape, trapping him in the corner.

The remaining warrior puppet leaped from the broken stone arch bridge, holding the halberd tightly in both hands and stabbing towards Shi Chuan Kong's chest.

Shi Chuan Kong was still recovering from his injuries, and his strength and physique were not as good as before. He could not break free from the suppression and resist. He was about to be pierced through the chest by the halberd.

Han Li roared, his Mysterious Apertures lit up, and he stepped on the void, his figure suddenly twisting. The curved blade in his hand flew out, drawing a white arc in the air, hitting the puppet.

Sensing the curved blade coming from behind, the warrior puppet suddenly retracted the halberd it had thrust out and blocked it backward, just blocking the white curved blade.

However, in just this moment, Han Li had already flashed over.

He suddenly raised a fist, and the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill activated. A series of Mysterious Apertures lit up on his arm, and his fist fell down.

The halberd-wielding puppet only had time to turn half of its cheek before being punched in the head by Han Li. The entire head then shattered like a ripe watermelon.

"Be careful!" At this moment, Shi Chuan Kong suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing this, Han Li knew something was wrong. He instinctively lowered his body and felt a gust of wind sweep past the back of his head.

Before he could leave the spot, his shoulder suddenly sank, struck by a heavy force like a mountain. He was slammed into the ground, making a violent bang.

The temple pool instantly cracked, and Han Li was hammered into the ground like a nail.

Without even seeing what had attacked him, Han Li immediately took advantage of the force to dive down, using a kind of earth escape technique, and disappeared into the ground.

But then, the ground on the other side of the temple suddenly bulged, breaking open a hole, and Han Li's figure reappeared.

He frowned and glanced at the previous position, but it was empty. There was no one there. Only the statue of the Demon Race man holding a long staff on the stone platform was gone.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and he fully activated the Starmoon Boots, his figure immediately shooting forward.

The next moment, a purplish-black staff as thick as a child's arm slammed into the ground close to his back.

The earth shattered, and sparks and rocks flew everywhere.

Han Li turned around abruptly and saw the statue man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, holding the purplish-black staff in his hand, suspended in mid-air. A pair of black wings behind him were flapping up and down.

The Thundergod puppet seemed to have some intelligence. Seeing Han Li dodge the previous attack, a hint of anger appeared on his face.

With a flap of his wings, a whirlwind that was difficult to see with the naked eye surrounded him, and his figure flashed over instantly. His speed was even faster than Han Li's when he used the Starmoon Boots at full power.

Han Li raised an eyebrow. This time, he did not choose to dodge, but instead raised the curved blade in one hand and slashed at him.

Seeing this, the Thundergod puppet's eyes flashed with a human-like joy. He held the long staff in both hands, and a layer of hazy white light shrouded the staff. It seemed to be a Star Treasure as well.

He flashed over instantly, and the long staff in his hand was swung around and struck down violently, colliding with the snow-white curved blade.

"Clang!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, an overwhelming force crushed down.

Han Li's arm shook violently, and the curved blade was instantly suppressed. The hand holding the blade also trembled violently.

He had to quickly raise his other arm to support the blade with both hands to resist the blow.

Han Li's legs had broken through the floor and sunk half a foot into the ground. He was shocked. He did not expect the Thundergod puppet to be so fast and so powerful.

Before he could launch a counterattack, another unexpected event occurred.

Clusters of Star Apertures lit up on the purplish-black staff one after another. With a "crackling" sound, a thick white lightning bolt shot out from it, striking Han Li's forehead.

Han Li felt a burning sensation on his forehead, and his sea of consciousness shook violently. His divine soul seemed to be shaking and uneasy. His body swayed, and his hands lost their strength. The purplish-black staff knocked down the curved blade and slammed heavily on his shoulder.

His legs bent suddenly, unable to support himself, and his body leaned back and fell down.

Seeing this, the Thundergod puppet stepped forward, a cold expression flashing in his eyes. He turned the long staff in his hand and was about to smash it down on Han Li's forehead.

Han Li had activated the Refinement Art the moment he was hit. The divine light in his eyes condensed, and he regained consciousness.

At this critical moment, he quickly took out a small white shield from his chest and immediately blocked it in front of him, constantly pouring the power of stars into it.

The white starlight on the surface of the small shield surged out, supporting a three-foot-square white light curtain, barely protecting his body.
