The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172: Chapter 169 Both Sides Suffer Chapter 1172: Chapter 169 Both Sides Suffer The Nine-Headed Insect was now covered in dense blood light, mixed with a thick demonic Qi. Its face twisted into a bloodthirsty grimace, both eyes turned completely blood-red, seemingly having lost all rationale.

Shen Luo's heart sank; the Nine-Headed Insect in this state was very much like when he had a burst of demonic Qi himself.

“Die…” the Nine-Headed Insect growled unintelligibly, reaching out with one hand.

A bloody giant claw the size of a house appeared above the three of them and struck down like lightning.

Before the giant claw could touch them, an overwhelming evil aura caged them, instantly sweeping over everyone nearby.

The terrifying evil aura directly invaded Shen Luo's mind, causing his divine soul to shudder involuntarily.

However, he had the Coiling Dragon Wall to protect his body, which could even withstand the evil aura burst from himself. Hence, he was not significantly affected by the Nine-Headed Insect's aura.

Although the Little White Dragon was seriously injured, his cultivation level was still profound, so he could withstand the Nine-Headed Insect's evil aura.

Wu Man'er, however, being the weakest in terms of strength and having suffered substantial injury to her divine soul previously, was not yet recovered. The impact of the evil aura caused her to tremble all over, utterly unable to move.

Shen Luo shouted loudly, his feet bursting with Moonlight Glamour and the remaining Pure Yang Sword's light surging, carrying the three of them swiftly to the side, narrowly avoiding the capture of the bloody giant claw.

But the Pure Yang Sword was grazed by the giant claw, its crimson sword aura dimming fiercely.

“The Nine-Headed Insect has been corrupted by demonic Qi. You're no match for him, leave me and go quickly!” the Little White Dragon urged anxiously.

“If we go, we go together!” Shen Luo shook his head firmly, maneuvering the Pure Yang Sword with a hand gesture.

With a “whoosh,” countless Red Lotus Karmic Fire spewed from within the sword body, and in the blink of an eye, it spread over an area of twenty or thirty feet around, forming a Sea of Flames that enveloped the Nine-Headed Insect.

The Nine-Headed Insect missed its hit and was just about to attack again when a redness flashed before its eyes, and its body was covered in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire, being a Heavenly Fire that burns the divine soul, made the Nine-Headed Insect tremble despite its cultivation level being far superior to Shen Luo's. The protective demonic Qi managed to guard against the fire, but the soul still trembled, slowing its actions for an instant.

Shen Luo had no expectation for the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to kill the Nine-Headed Insect instantly; he needed just that moment of delay. He exerted his full power to operate the Yimu Xian Escape Divine Technique, his body lighting up with bright green.

The Nine-Headed Insect's blood-red eyes suddenly intensified, breaking free from the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, flinging both hands swiftly to the sides.

Two chunky beams of blood light shot forward, easily ripping through the surrounding sea of red lotus flames. Its figure became a bloody phantom, lunging furiously, even faster than before.

Shen Luo was taken aback, just about to figure out a countermeasure when the Little White Dragon preemptively acted, flicking his intact left hand wielding the Golden Dragon Spear. Seven or eight spear shadows shot out, striking the Nine-Headed Insect.

With several muffled bangs, the spear shadows disappointingly failed to penetrate the blood light on the Nine-Headed Insect's body, shattering instead. However, they managed to shake the Nine-Headed Insect's lunging figure momentarily.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Luo flipped out an Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman, channeling his mana to activate it.

Loud thunderbolts appeared out of thin air, striking the Nine-Headed Insect. Caught off guard by the Little White Dragon's repelling force and unable to dodge, it was hit by more than a dozen massive thunderbolts.

A series of booming thunders sounded, and the Nine-Headed Insect's blood light seemed to fear the thunder, getting torn in several places. The creature also got shaken back a few steps.

Shen Luo didn't continue attacking, his body's green light flared, and they vanished into the void in a flash, disappearing from sight.

The Nine-Headed Insect saw Shen Luo and the two others fleeing and let out an angry roar from all nine heads, with the eagle head's eyes emitting a terrifying crystalline light. It looked around the void, its mouth flickering with blood-colored lightning, ready to spew forth.

But just at that moment, its body began to tremble violently, the dreadful aura surrounding it quickly dissipated, and it fell like a rock, hitting the ground with a “bang”.

The Nine-Headed Insect wasn't hurt from the fall, but its large body curled up, twitching non-stop as if enduring some sort of pain.

Wansheng Princess, having been pierced through by both the Little White Dragon's Dragon Spear and the Nine-Headed Insect's Moon Soul Hook, struggled to get up. After all, being of the Dragon Clan with a considerable cultivation level, she hadn't perished and attempted to check on the Nine-Headed Insect.

At this moment, three black escape lights shot from the distance and landed on the ground, materializing into three demons of the Demon Race.

One of them was Gui Cang, who had previously accompanied Wansheng Princess. Beside him stood a demon with the body of a man and Lian Shan, whose skin was covered with purplish-red scales, resembling a Flood Dragon. The last demon was a woman, clad in blue robes, her facial features no different from an ordinary young woman except for a significantly larger mouth, which looked somewhat bizarre.

Lian Shan was powerful, his cultivation level on par with Gui Cang's, both reaching the Great Mahayana Stage. The blue-robed female demon was even a major demon at the True Immortal Stage.

“Master, Madam!” Upon seeing the state of the Nine-Headed Insect and Wansheng Princess, the three demons were shocked and hurriedly rushed over.

“Never mind me, take the Great King back first!” Wansheng Princess urged in desperation.

Startled, the blue-robed female demon quickly checked on the Nine-Headed Insect, her expression turning solemn. She said to the other two demons, “Gui Cang, Lian Shan, take our Master back to the Blood Pool for healing.”

Hearing this, Gui Cang and Lian Shan did not dare to delay and, lifting the Nine-Headed Insect, rushed back.

The blue-robed female demon approached Wansheng Princess, chanting spells, and a great expanse of blue light rolled out, merging into Wansheng Princess's body.

The wounds on Wansheng Princess's body healed rapidly, vanishing within a few breaths, and she was barely able to stand up.

“Madam, I can still sense the fluctuations of their escape technique's Mana. Should I go after them to kill? If we wait any longer, all traces will vanish,” the blue-robed demon said to Wansheng Princess, stopping her actions after helping her stand, and speaking in a grave tone.

“No need. The enemy is formidable, and you are no match for them. Let's head back for now. We will wait for the Great King to recover before taking further action,” Wansheng Princess said, with a hint of complexity in her expression.

“Understood,” the blue-robed demon, though somewhat puzzled, did not question further and took Wansheng Princess in the direction they had come from.

Several green lights flashed across the void above an unnamed lake within Yunmeng Marsh, then abruptly intensified. Wrapped in the three green lights, the figures of Shen Luo, Wu Man'er, and Little White Dragon appeared.

The Little White Dragon was either too severely injured or it was due to some other reason, but he had already lost consciousness.

Shen Luo's Divine Sense spread out, sensing that for tens of miles around, there were no demons present, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“It looks like we've managed to leave that Ginkgo Divine Tree far behind, and we're temporarily safe. Let's set Senior Ao Lie down quickly so I can apply a Secret Method to help him recover from his injuries,” Wu Man'er said urgently.

“Although I've used the Yimu Xian Escape technique to flee a considerable distance, the Nine-Headed Insect has been entrenched in Yunmeng Marsh for many years, and it's uncertain how many demons are under its command. It's better to be safe and continue to flee further before we treat Senior Ao Lie's injuries,” Shen Luo suggested.

Wu Man'er found his words quite reasonable and therefore did not object.

Shen Luo, with green light shining from his body, continued to use the Yimu Xian Escape technique, carrying the three of them toward the distance.

After escaping continuously for more than a dozen times and nearly reaching the edge of Yunmeng Marsh, Shen Luo finally stopped in a range of low mountains.
