The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 888 - 885
Chapter 888: 885
"Stabilize the winds," Shen Luo uttered softly.
The Water Blue Pearl suddenly gleamed intensely, dispersing an incomparably powerful prohibition force in an instant.
Zi Shu found that the sharp awl in his hand had stopped mere centimeters from Shen Luo’s heart, and his body was also immobilized in place, with only his eyes trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Luo stepped back, casually flicking Zi Shu’s awl aside, and the space that had been frozen around them once again came to life.
Zi Shu’s awl missed and stabbed the air beside him while the Golden Rope did not miss its mark. It tightly wrapped around Zi Shu’s body, binding him.
Without any hesitation, Shen Luo pushed the Huangting Technique within him to its limits, radiating waves of golden light from his body. The Dragon Elephant Phantoms flew out one after another, gradually transforming into solid rays of light before surging into the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod in his hand.
"Die," Shen Luo roared, swinging the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod that was now ablaze with light, smashing it down onto Zi Shu.
Zi Shu, sensing the astonishing power, couldn’t believe such strength could come from a True Immortal cultivator.
"Chen Long, save me, save me..." He called out frantically without a second thought.
As he cried out for help, Ma Xiuxiu had already disappeared from her original place, abruptly appearing behind Shen Luo.
Her hand shot forward, showing no signs of illusion or tricks. Her palm revealed the true form of a dragon claw, with sharp talon-like fingers, lunging straight at Shen Luo’s heart.
Shen Luo merely shifted slightly to the side. He didn’t choose to dodge completely and the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod in his hand didn’t pause at all. He stubbornly smashed it toward Zi Shu, almost as if he were willing to exchange his life for his.
This move not only stunned Zi Shu but also brought a flash of surprise to Ma Xiuxiu’s eyes. Xiao Yu and the other Jade Fox people couldn’t help but cry out.
"Big Brother Shen!"
With a desperate shriek, blood burst through Shen Luo’s right chest.
Ma Xiuxiu’s dragon-clawed arm pierced through Shen Luo’s back and out his chest, her fingers still clutching half a dripping, bloodied heart.
Almost at the same moment, an explosion sounded in front of Shen Luo.
The Sea Suppressing Iron Rod struck Zi Shu’s head without any reduction in force, exploding into a violent energy that tore both his body and soul into fragments.
Everyone present was stunned by the scene before them; no one had expected Shen Luo to actually trade lives with Zi Shu.
Ma Xiuxiu’s expression beneath her helmet was somewhat stiff. When Shen Luo had reappeared before her, she had imagined killing him more than once. Yet when the moment truly arrived, her mind suddenly went blank.
She withdrew her hand aimlessly, letting Shen Luo’s body slowly slide down in front of her arm before collapsing to the ground.
Just then, an enraged roar thundered from the high sky, shaking the skydome.
The Bull Demon King, having seen the scene of Shen Luo’s death below, descended from the sky like a meteorite.
Seeing his fierce momentum, Ma Xiuxiu did not dare to clash with him. Once he touched down, she had already escaped a hundred feet away, creating distance between them.
The moment the Bull Demon King landed, he drew the Banana Fan from his back and ferociously fanned it toward Ma Xiuxiu.
"Boom..."
The world instantly changed color, and the void began to tremble violently. Towering wind pillars sprouted from nowhere, yellow and rolling, surging towards Ma Xiuxiu.
A giant wall of sand and dust rose from the Earth, shattering the ground full of broken trees and branches, sweeping over everything in its path.
It seemed as if the very skin of Jilei Mountain was being peeled away, leaving chaos in its wake.
Ma Xiuxiu was caught by the fierce wind, and her form instantly became unstable. She was involuntarily whisked high into the sky, spinning several times before finally stabilizing somewhat, yet she still couldn’t avoid being blown far away.
The various demons lurking in the mountain forests were also affected by the tempest, with many frail skeletons being torn apart by the hurricane, turning directly into dust. Naturally, the other demons were also blown high into the sky without any means to resist.
Just as the numerous demons were being blown back by the fierce wind, another figure plummeted from the skies, standing immovably in front of the demons, blocking the howling gales.
The man was burly, clad in bone armor; it was none other than Ghost, who had previously battled with the Bull Demon King.
In his hand, he held a Purple Gold Gourd that radiated seven-colored rays. Suspended from the mouth of the gourd was a golden Elixir Pill, only the size of a longan, emitting waves of intense golden halo, rippling out like tides.
With every wave of the halo that swept around, the impact of the wild hurricane was diminished a bit.
As the layers of the halo continued to ripple out, the hurricane summoned by the Banana Fan was gradually quelled, until the surroundings were without a single ripple, restoring calm.
The Bull Demon King stared intently at the Purple Gold Gourd and the golden Elixir Pill in Ghost’s hand, his eyes burning with intensified rage.
"That would be the legendary Wind-fixing Bead, wouldn’t it?" A voice suddenly rose from behind him.
"Indeed..."
No sooner had the Bull Demon King spoken than he realized something was amiss. He swiftly turned around and, upon seeing who it was, exclaimed in great joy, "Brother Shen, you’re unharmed?"
"Almost had my heart pierced through, but luckily she was off by a fraction," Shen Luo patted his chest, saying with aftershock.
Of course, his words weren’t entirely true; Ma Xiuxiu’s strike had indeed penetrated his heart, although it hadn’t completely destroyed it. For an ordinary monk, this would have been a fatal blow, but Shen Luo survived by relying on the Great Deconstruction Technique to mend the deadly injury completely.
"Brother Shen, you’re quite lucky. If you can escape with your life today, there’s sure to be great fortune in your future," said the Bull Demon King, unable to help himself from commenting.
However, after saying this, his expression grew increasingly heavy.
"Why not use an Escape Technique to lead everyone out?" Shen Luo asked urgently with a frown, transmitting his voice telepathically.
"It’s not so simple. The demons came well-prepared this time. Not only has Ghost personally led the team, but they have also laid the Heaven-sealing Array around Jilei Mountain to seal it off before their assault," the Bull Demon King explained.
Shen Luo looked up into the skydome, only to realize that although it appeared normal at a glance, the clouds suspended in the sky seemed to be nailed in place, without a hint of motion.
"It’s impossible for so many to get out unscathed. Brother Shen, in a moment, I’ll try to break through the sky’s seal. I need you to lead Jade Face away from here. I already owe her one life; I cannot let her die again," the Bull Demon King conveyed through voice transmission.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
"Thank you," the Bull Demon King expressed his gratitude and then took a step forward.
He was suddenly engulfed in azure-black light, and his body shook fiercely as he rapidly grew in size, transforming into a hundred-feet-tall majestic giant within the blink of an eye.
In his hands, he wielded a massive Mixed Iron Staff, swinging it with a whoosh, ready to thrust at the sky above.
But just at that moment, a towering figure also shot up from the ground. Ghost had also transformed into a hundred-feet figure, holding a Soul-crushing Axe in his hand, viciously slashing towards the Mixed Iron Staff of the Bull Demon King.
