"If you're ready, let's go inside. Chenyang glanced up and down at the cyan stone gate in front of him and said.

"I can still deal with those puppets, if those runes appear again, I'm afraid it will take more effort from Daoyou. Sun Tu said with a smile at Han Li.

"City Lord Sun rest assured, Li will spare no effort. Han Li said.

Sun Tu nodded, and then glanced at Fang Cicada beside him.

Fang Chan didn't say a word, he took the first step, pushed open the door of the temple, and swept into it, and the rest of the people followed closely behind and entered it one after another.

After everyone entered it, Sun Tu's sleeve robe waved, and a strong rolling rush rushed through, closing the door of the temple again.

Han Li frowned slightly, glanced at the side of the temple gate, and then turned around and glanced towards the temple.

Just listen to the sound of "whew".

On the walls around the hall and in the dome above, a flame rose from the huge brazier that hung at the same time, burning and illuminating the entire hall.

Only the center of the main hall is low, and there is a peculiar-looking bronze ancient tree standing in the middle, and there are seventeen or eighteen branches on the main trunk, which are carved with star patterns.

What is strange is that on the branches of almost every ancient bronze tree, there is a statue completely covered with bronze armor, which at first glance looks like seventeen or eighteen hanged corpses, which is very strange.

Han Li's brows furrowed, and he looked up along the branches of the bronze ancient tree, and saw that on the top of the ancient tree, a white pillar of light lit up, and within the pillar of light there was a blood-colored red light, and what was placed inside was another blood-colored key.

Seeing this, Shi Chuankong couldn't help but look at Han Li.

Han Li glanced at him and shook his head secretly, signaling him to keep quiet.

But at this moment, the blood-colored key on the bronze ancient tree suddenly flashed, and the blood was magnificent.

A burning sensation also came from Han Li's chest, and he couldn't help but frown and snort when he was caught off guard.

Seeing this, Chenyang's eyes flashed with doubt, and he frowned and asked, "Li Daoyou, what's wrong with you?"

When the rest of the people heard this, they also looked over here.

"I was a little injured on the road before, but now I was suddenly involved, and my heart hurt a little, so I don't ...... it," Han Li waved his hand quietly and explained casually.

Fortunately, the burning sensation only lasted for a moment before it dissipated, and the key hidden in his bosom did not emit any strange brilliance, which did not attract more attention from others.

"It's safe for the time being, Li Daoyou should sit down and breathe well, if you let the injury go, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome later. Chenyang frowned and spoke.

"That's fine. Han Li nodded, and really came to a corner of the hall and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Shi Chuankong hesitated slightly, then sat down cross-legged with him and began to recuperate his injuries.

Seeing this, Chenyang's eyes changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at the blood-colored key on the top of the bronze tree, with a solemn expression.

"Haha...... Fellow Morning Daoist, it seems that the key you mentioned earlier is here. We were also a blessing in disguise, and we were sent here by the tide of puppets. Sun Tulang said with a smile.

"Sun Daoyou's words are good, we can be regarded as having worked hard, and we have finally paid off. Chenyang said with a smile.

"That'...... This key ......" Sun Tu said here, suddenly stopped, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Chenyang.

"As far as I know, there is more than one Scarlet Key, and it makes no sense to take one of them. Later, if we meet someone else who also has this key, it is better to cooperate with them and seek common benefits. Chenyang's expression remained unchanged and he smiled.

Han Li pretended to close his eyes and breathe, listening to the exchange of words between the two in his ears, and sneered in his heart.

Not to mention that Chenyang and Sun Tu didn't mention the blood-colored key to the two of them before, now Sun Tu faintly wanted to rely on his and Fang Cicada's cultivation and take the blood-colored key for himself first, but as soon as Chenyang's words were mentioned, he had to think about it.

"Two city lords, I think this bronze tree is so weird, and most of the 'hanged ghosts' on it are also puppets, I'm afraid that if you want to get that key, it's not so easy. At this time, Xuanyuan Xing suddenly spoke.

"What Xuanyuan Daoyou said is good, let's work together to take down this blood-colored key first. Sun Tu really said.

"Without further ado, let's do it. Chenyang nodded and said.

With that, he flew up and jumped towards the bronze tree.

Sun Tu frowned and gave Fang Chan a look, and the latter immediately moved and chased after him.

The figures of the two of them landed on the branches of the lowest layer of the bronze monster tree, one after the other.

At this fall, Chenyang noticed that something was wrong, a powerful attraction suddenly came out of his feet, and his body was firmly attached to the branches, he wanted to lift his legs to move, but he couldn't succeed after trying.

Fang Cicada on the other side was in almost the same situation, imprisoned by this bronze monster tree.

At this moment, the clusters of star-patterned patterns on the bronze body lit up one after another, turning into wisps of white light marks, scattered along the body of the tree.

Han Li was attracted by the movement here, and when he opened his eyes and looked over, he saw that the "Hanged Ghosts" hanging from the bronze monster tree had actually begun to sway in the air one after the other.

After a while, like ripe fruits, one by one the melons ripened and fell from the branches.

The moment they landed, the eyes of the seventeen or eighteen puppets lit up with red light at the same time, and they all pulled out a standard war knife from behind their waists, although there were no stars on it, they were all engraved with star patterns, and the blade was as shiny as new, and it was shrouded in a layer of white starlight.

I saw that its figure was scattered in all directions, except for two of them who jumped back onto the two branches at the lowest part of the strange tree, the remaining dozen or so people all rushed towards Han Li and the others with swords.

Seeing this, Han Li sighed and stood up from the ground again.

The crowd then fought with the puppet.

The two puppets rushed up with knives, the speed was not slow at all, and the long knives in their hands slashed horizontally and vertically, turning into two snow-bright knife arcs, attacking from the left and right sides.

Han Li took the white scimitar from his waist, and the light of the Star Moon Boot flashed under his feet, and the speed was even faster to the extreme, and it instantly passed under the puppet knife that had slashed horizontally, and swept towards its legs with a single sword.

A sharp sound of "bang"!

A large string of dazzling white sparks splashed from the puppet's body, and the armor that looked like bronze, but didn't know what the real material was, fell a striking white mark under the slash of Han Li's scimitar, but it was not damaged in the slightest.

"What a powerful armor!" Han Li was slightly surprised in his heart.

As soon as his body turned, he kicked the ground violently under his feet, secretly activated the powerful vajra technique, the mysteries on his arms were bright, and he clenched the scimitar and slashed down at the puppet that was chasing after him.

The star aperture on the white scimitar also lit up, and the blade seemed to be coated with a layer of starlight film, and the cold light was even more intense.

Seeing this, the puppet had already gathered its horizontal sword over his head and blocked it towards Han Li's scimitar.

Just listen to the crisp sound of "click"!

The long knife in the puppet's hand snapped, and the white scimitar slashed down and landed on the puppet's left shoulder.

It's a pity that cutting off the long knife has already consumed most of the power of the scimitar, and when it really falls on the puppet's shoulder, it will only cut through the armor by an inch, and it can't hurt the puppet at all.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly, and he jerked the blade of his sword, trying to pull the white scimitar back.

As a result, it turned out that the armor on the puppet's body had an extremely powerful suction, causing his sword to get stuck on it and unable to pull it out smoothly.

At the same time, another puppet had already dodged in, slashing out again and slashing at Han Li's lower abdomen.

Han Li had no choice but to abandon his sword and retreat, dodging.

On the bronze monster tree on the other side, Chenyang and Fang Cicada were unable to move, so they could only stand in place and fight with the puppets that killed them, and they were still able to play with ease at first, but when two more puppets jumped over, they were a little powerless to parry.

Especially on Fang Cicada's side, he has been flanked left and right by two puppets, and he has been hit by more than a dozen knives in a row, and he is covered in blood.

However, there didn't seem to be the slightest pain on his face, but there was a growing mad battle intent flowing in his eyes.

"Whew......"

Seeing a long knife in the hand of a puppet stabbing Fang Cicada in the heart extremely viciously, the pig-faced young man finally broke out, and let out a sharp howl like a beast's roar.

With this scream, a stream of translucent sound waves visible to the naked eye from his mouth directly crushed the void in front of the young man and rushed towards the puppet.

The long knife in the puppet's hand pierced into the sound wave, and immediately seemed to sink into the mud, blocked by a powerful force, and it was impossible to pierce it immediately, and the speed became extremely slow.

At the same time, the branches under his feet also shook violently, and his and Chenyang's bodies also regained their freedom.

I saw Fang Cicada step out, one hand passed through the sound wave aftermath of his roar, and grabbed the puppet's neck, let out a loud cry from his mouth, and pinched it down.

There was a strange "bang".

The puppet's neck burst open, and its head fell to the ground, rolling to its side.

Chenyang also took advantage of his freedom to move, and with a turn of his body, a delicate and slender white bone awl shot out of his hand, sticking to the gap in the puppet's armor and burrowing into it.

Immediately after, there was a bang, and the entire puppet exploded from within.

Then, the results of the Xuancheng people became more and more, and it took more than an hour to finally defeat all the puppets.

Among them, except for Fang Chan, who suffered more than ten minor injuries on his body, only Xuanyuan Xing's abdomen was pierced by a puppet with a war knife, and the rest were almost unharmed.

After Sun Tu briefly treated Fang Chan's wounds, he stood up and said to Chenyang, "Who will take this key?"
