The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204: Chapter 1201 Critical Moment Chapter 1204: Chapter 1201 Critical Moment “The enemy is hidden, and we are exposed; the situation is unfavorable to us, let's retreat for now,” the Ghost General whispered, ready to move backward.

But behind him, a ripple traveled through the void, and an extremely faint gray figure appeared out of nowhere, raising its hand to deliver a strike.

A burst of yellow ripples shot out from its hand, swiftly striking the Ghost General and Wu Man'er before disappearing as quickly as it had appeared.

The Ghost General, as if prepared for this, suddenly emitted a several zhang high black glow, enveloping both himself and Wu Man'er within it. Their bodies submerged into the black light, flying backwards.

The yellow ripples roared into the black light, seemingly disappearing without a trace, without unleashing any of their might.

The gray figure paused, visibly taken aback by this.

Although the Ghost General had used the Ghost Path's Voidization Divine Power to reduce most of the damage, he still felt as if his body had been struck by countless giant stones; there was not a single part that had escaped unscathed. His inner ghostly qi was also largely scattered, and he involuntarily flew backward from the shock.

Wu Man'er, however, was protected behind him and was not hit by the yellow ripples.

At this moment, Wansheng Princess and the others pounced, showing no mercy as they launched attacks. All kinds of magical treasures fell like rain upon the Ghost General and Wu Man'er, who were wrapped in the black light.

“Madam, be careful of their trickery!” The gray figure was still somewhat dazed, standing there as if he hadn't fully recovered his senses. Seeing Wansheng Princess and the others hastily attacking, and considering the Ghost General and Wu Man'er's strange actions, he quickly warned.

But it was already too late. The ground suddenly cracked open, and countless green trees and vines surged out. In an instant, they formed a dense forest that entangled Wansheng Princess's group and their magical treasures.

Wansheng Princess and her group were greatly alarmed.

Before they could struggle, the Ghost General turned around like lightning, his black light suddenly intensifying several folds, and the sobbing sound of ghostly wails echoed from within, pouring into the ears of Wansheng Princess and her group.

The lesser demons with shallow cultivation levels immediately wore expressions that were a mix between crying and laughing, and started to dance and flail about.

The gray figure was also within the range of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Sound and his expression drastically changed; with a flicker, he disappeared.

“Thorns Dance!” Malice flickered in Wu Man'er's eyes as she formed hand seals.

The trees and vines wrapped around the group of monsters suddenly became as sharp as blades, viciously tightening their grip.

Blood light burst forth. Dozens of weaker demons were sliced into pieces, meeting a violent death, while many others were also injured. Only Wansheng Princess, Lian Shan, Gui Cang, and a few others with profound cultivation quickly protected themselves and were not harmed.

Wansheng Princess and the others were both shocked and furious, shouting in anger. Colossal magical treasures with immense power bombarded the surrounding forest, and amid the snapping and cracking sounds, the dense trees and vines were largely obliterated.

Wu Man'er sighed upon seeing this. Without the Spiritual Power of the Ginkgo Divine Tree, the strength of her Falling Leaves Rustling was clearly insufficient on its own.

She flashed backward, transforming into a streak of green light fleeing into the distance, her Divine Sense constantly sweeping the surroundings, on guard against another stealth attack by the peculiar gray shadow.

The Ghost General also transformed into a black shadow, fleeing alongside Wu Man'er. Waves of ghostly qi constantly surged from him, expanding into ripples that spread around, seemingly some kind of Ghost Path probing technique.

“Thieves, stop!”

The group of monsters, despite having an overwhelming advantage in strength, had been caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Fury filled their hearts, and they immediately pursued Wu Man'er and the Ghost General upon breaking free.

Only Wansheng Princess and a few other demons maintained their composure, wanting to call for a stop, but the group had already gone after the targets. Wansheng Princess and the others had no choice but to follow, releasing various magical treasures at Wu Man'er and the Ghost General, hoping to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Wu Man'er and the Ghost General saw that they had lured the group of monsters over and felt a surge of secret joy in their hearts. They fled forward with all their might while desperately blocking the attacks of the Magical Treasures from behind.

Even as Wu Man'er and the Ghost General tried their best to evade, the sheer number of demons behind them, including the Wansheng Princess, Lian Shan, Gui Cang, and several other beings at the Great Mahayana Stage, meant that after only moments, they were hit several times, each sustaining significant injuries.

The Wansheng Princess's brows furrowed slightly, and she flipped her hand to pull out a Blue Banner. With a single point of her magic spell, the banner emitted a burst of Blue Light, and countless streams of Blue Mist surged out, rapidly rolling towards the two escapees with extraordinary speed.

This Blue Banner was clearly a Water Attribute Treasure, as the Void nearby became rich with water vapor.

“Split up!” Seeing the Blue Mist quickly approaching, Wu Man'er hastily separated from the Ghost General and shot off in different directions.

But at that moment, a flash of ash crossed in front of them, and that gray shadow appeared once again like a ghostly specter, raising its hand and sending a wave of yellow ripples onto their bodies.

The two of them were completely unprepared this time and were solidly struck by the yellow ripples, shaking backward like two falling leaves.

Joy appeared on the Wansheng Princess's face. She changed her hand magic spell, and the Blue Mist's speed increased manifold, immediately engulfing Wu Man'er and the Ghost General.

Wu Man'er and Ghost General felt their bodies sink, as if they had plummeted into the deepest part of the Ocean Eye, and even the Ghost General, being of ghostly nature, found it extremely difficult to lift an arm.

The demons from behind cheered with joy, raining down their Magical Treasures like a deluge.

The gray shadow in front too took the opportunity to launch a vicious attack, shooting out a serpent-like white light from its sleeve, swiftly aiming for Wu Man'er's neck.

But in that critical moment, an unexpected scene occurred!

Beside the Blue Mist, a ripple shook the Void, and a hand emerged out of nowhere, pressing down on the Blue Mist.

A flash of Blue Light flickered on the surface of the hand, and an intense chillness suddenly erupted, enveloping the surrounding hundred feet in an instant.

The Blue Mist, which was formed from the rich and pure spiritual power of water, turned into a giant Blue Ice Crystal in a blink. The Wansheng Princess and about a dozen demons beside her were frozen within the Ice Crystal.

This chillness was extraordinarily terrifying, as icicles formed in midair and it seemed as if the entire Void had been frozen. Many of the demons caught outside the Blue Mist were also affected by the extreme cold and turned into ice sculptures, whereas only a few who stood far away, or managed to summon their Magical Treasures in time, narrowly escaped disaster.

The gray shadow, being right beside Wu Man'er and the Ghost General, couldn't escape and “cracked” into an ice sculpture, revealing its true form–a Gray Fox Demon.

Wu Man'er and the Ghost General, though at the very center of the Blue Ice Crystal, weren't frozen. There was about half a foot gap between them and the surrounding crystal, showing the extraordinary control of the person who cast the freezing spell.

The group of monsters was nearly annihilated in an instant; those who survived showed a terrified expression on their faces and fled like avoiding a plague, escaping into the distance.

The blue palm retracted, and at the same time a ripple moved through the Void from behind, revealing a figure that appeared–it was Shen Luo.

“Brother Shen!”

“Master!”

Wu Man'er and the Ghost General called out in great joy, while the Wansheng Princess, Lian Shan, Gui Cang, and other demons showed expressions of horror on their faces, frantically trying to stimulate their Demon Power in an attempt to shatter the ice on their bodies.

But the chillness was so incredibly powerful that the demons' Demon Power was frozen solid, making it extremely difficult to circulate, let alone shatter the ice.
