At that moment, behind Tie Dan, erupted a thunderous bang as the huge stone statue toppled over. The ground even shook a bit, much like an earthquake. The statue's head broke off and rolled towards Ye Wudao like a giant sphere.
Ye Wudao flung the Spider Silk Needle behind him, leading Tie Dan and the tribal child to safety, but it was too late for himself. All he could do was draw his energy into his Dantian and muster the full force of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. His arm muscles bulged as he pushed against the stone head.
With a loud crash, Ye Wudao pushed the stone head away, but the force of the collision hurled him backward. He flew through the air like a cannonball and landed heavily on the arm of another large statue, striking his waist, causing him to groan and spit out a mouthful of blood upon landing.
