Yaen Yue dealt with the puppet's attack while also keeping a constant eye on the Male Cultivator in Black Robes' every move with his Divine Sense. Upon seeing the dark light in the opponent's hand, he immediately knew he was in danger.
Disregarding the puppet's attack, he waved his longsword, unleashing countless sword beams that formed a protective barrier around him.
