The team from the Splendid Temple hadn't arrived yet when Nie Yan's figure dashed forward, launching an attack on the Black Magic Puppet.
Appearing behind the Black Magic Puppet, Nie Yan leapt up, kicking with a fierce gust of wind.
His speed was so fast that it left behind a trail of afterimages, his kick swift as lightning and brimming with undeniable power.
With a loud thud, Nie Yan's kick struck the Black Magic Puppet squarely on its back.
The Black Magic Puppet staggered several steps, letting out an enraged roar as it turned to search for him. Spotting Nie Yan, it swung its enormous fist down at him.
Just as the Black Magic Puppet seemed poised to land its punch, a flash of light erupted, and Nie Yan vanished into thin air. The Puppet's attack hit nothing but the ground, leaving it with a bewildered expression—how had Nie Yan disappeared so suddenly?
As soon as it paused, Nie Yan had already circled behind it, delivering a Spine Breaker to its back.
