The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1157 – 1157 1154 The White

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1154: The White-Clothed Man Chapter 1157: Chapter 1154: The White-Clothed Man The thin man was puzzled when suddenly a streak of green light flashed before his eyes.

Immediately after, his right eye sprayed blood as a verdant wooden fiber had pierced his eyeball.

“Ah…”

With a terrible scream, the thin man released his grip on the Leaf Sprite.

Yuanyuan's figure appeared in the void, grabbing her fellow sprite's arm. With a flash of light, they were about to flee and escape.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning crackled in the void.

Immediately after, a net of electricity intercepted from mid air, caging both Leaf Sprites who had yet to hide their forms.

“Haha, some even deliver themselves into the net,” the Bow-Back Camel exclaimed in delight upon seeing this.

Everyone was also taken aback; at such a time, there were actually those who weren't afraid to die and deliver themselves to the door, surrounding them quickly.

Attendant Yuan walked up with interest and upon seeing Yuanyuan, couldn't help frowning.

“Young master, doesn't this Leaf Sprite look familiar…” he immediately turned back and called out.

The young man, upon hearing this, also came over to take a look and instantly said, “Isn't this the charm spirit on that woman's shoulder?”

The Bald Big Man and the thin man also quickly recalled the memory.

All of them looked around alertly, but after moments of waiting without anyone appearing, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Perhaps the charm spirit escaped from those two,” Attendant Yuan said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The scruffy man leaning against the tree suddenly rolled to his feet, shouting, “What's there to fear? If they really dare to come, today we must envelop the heavens and carpet the earth to fulfill the young master's dream.”

In the midst of speaking, he bent down and reached through the electric net towards Yuanyuan.

Just as his palm was about to touch Yuanyuan, a tiny, inconspicuous black insect the size of a grain of rice slowly landed on the back of his hand.

The scruffy man paid it no mind, slapping it with the back of his hand, smashing the insect into a red dot.

He pulled open the electric net, grasped Yuanyuan in his hand, and lifted her to show everyone.

“Hmph, just a small charm spirit, and we should be afraid?”

The scruffy man boasted while increasing the strength in his hand, actually entertaining the thought of crushing her to death.

However, at that moment, an odd expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but scratch the spot where he had just killed the insect.

After this scratch, the scruffy man couldn't stop anymore, only then realizing that the tiny red dot on the back of his hand had turned into a patch of irregularly shaped red welts.

As he scratched, the red welts began to spread wildly. Starting from his hand, they quickly extended along his forearm toward his shoulder and chest.

“It's so itchy, so itchy…” the scruffy man shouted in panic; as he released Yuanyuan, the frequency of his scratching increased, and the red welts spread more insanely.

In no time, his neck and face were also covered in red welts, swelling his entire figure.

Where his nails had scratched, the flesh and blood were a blur, yet he could not stop, still crying out non-stop, “It's so itchy, so itchy…”

“What's happened to him?” as Bow-Back Camel just extended his hand, wanting to check.

From behind came a voice tinged with mockery, “If you want to end up like him, you might as well reach out and try.”

Upon hearing this, Bow-Back Camel hurriedly withdrew his hand and stepped back.

Everyone also turned to look behind them, only to realize that the speaker was the white-clothed man who had been sitting under the tree from the beginning.

Before their group had come here to ambush the charm spirits, this man had already arrived. After the lesson from the unfortunate encounter with Shen Luo, the young man had held back a bit, restraining his subordinates from provoking the man.

But now, this person suddenly spoke up, and there was even a hint of well-meaning caution in his words, which somewhat surprised them.

“This… Daoist friend, what happened to him?” Attendant Yuan considered his words carefully before asking.

“Can't you see? He's been struck by a Blood Gu,” the white-clothed man said with a smile, standing up.

Upon hearing this, the young man and Attendant Yuan immediately understood.

“Those two elders, we truly didn't mean to provoke. It was the Leaf Sprite itself that barged in here. It has nothing to do with us,” the once-bitten Attendant Yuan quickly dissociated themselves from the incident.

“Ah yes, it really wasn't our fault this time,” the young man also hurriedly protested.

They seemed to have completely forgotten that just now, they had openly discussed Shen Luo and another person without any reservations.

At this moment, Wu Man'er's figure slowly emerged from the miasma rain mist and came to a stop not far from these people.

“Let them go,” she said with a cold tone.

“This…”

The young man sneaked a glance at her, then quickly averted his gaze, looking beyond her into the curtain of rain.

After a long while, seeing no sign of Shen Luo appearing, his eyes shifted slightly.

“Girl, this… doesn't seem right,” he hesitated slightly, but steeled himself to speak up.

Wu Man'er didn't bother with him and lightly flicked her wrist.

A breeze wafted through the void and the young man's heart skipped a beat, prompting him to focus and carefully scan his surroundings.

Sure enough, in the dust of the air, several inconspicuous tiny white insects floated around, moving closer to his eyes.

By the time he thought to take action to block them, it was already too late.

However, a mysterious red flash suddenly darted before his eyes and retreated just as quickly.

The tiny white insects had already vanished.

Wu Man'er caught sight of this scene, her eyes narrowing slightly, and with a shake of her fair arm, she stirred the air.

The sound of “bells” rang out, but the Gu insects showed no response whatsoever.

“Are you with them?” she asked, her gaze falling on the white-clothed man, her voice cold.

Seeing this, the white-clothed man quickly raised both hands and shook his head, saying, “No, no, girl, please don't misunderstand. I'm not with this trash.”

“What did you say?” the Bow-Back Camel and the others immediately became furious.

Attendant Yuan also frowned.

“You trash, because of your lack of attention, the girl misunderstood and thought I'm one of you guys, damn it,” the white-clothed man scolded, appearing annoyed.

The next instant, a red light shot out, extending and bending several times in the void, piercing through the heads of everyone except the scruffy man, creating holes.

These people had no time to react and could only watch in horror as their own heads and those of others burst open like overripe watermelons.

In a tree not far away, Shen Luo clearly saw that it was not any magical treasures, but a scarlet long tongue that had pierced through the heads of those people, extending from the mouth of the white-clothed man.

The white-clothed man retracted his long tongue, somewhat savoring the taste as he licked his lips, with a trace of blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.

He quickly took out a white handkerchief from his chest and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth clean, then looked at Wu Man'er with a smile.

“It's clear that your aura is quite different from that trash. If I take you back, you should be able to replenish a great deal of mana for the Great King. Of course, if we include the one in the tree, that would be even better,” the white-clothed man said, glancing at Shen Luo, who was hidden in the tree's shadow.
