The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1734 - 1730: No Retreat Left

At this moment, You Sufin was busy fully concentrating on absorbing the Fox Ancestor’s power from Tu Shanxue’s body, leaving no time to control the Fox Spirit Evil Ghosts within the great formation to attack. The task of killing Shen Luo was completely entrusted to the three grey-clothed men.

The three men simultaneously formed magic seals with their hands, pointed distantly into the void, and each began activating their respective Crystal Skulls.

Blood-red light surged intensely from the skulls, while black vortexes swirled within their eye sockets, seemingly ignited with black demon fire inside.

Shen Luo paid no heed to the actions of the three grey-clothed men. A flash of light appeared before him, revealing the destructive Mingwang Yan Armor. Its Eyes of World Destruction glowed purple, condensing into tangible purple lightning bolts that burst forth and blasted directly toward the array barrier.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion rang out!

The colossal lightning struck the inner walls of the array barrier, obliterating numerous fox spirits along the way. However, the restraining array merely trembled violently and showed no signs of breaking.

Shen Luo’s heart tightened. His right hand, gripping the Pure Yang Sword, moved again. Eight flying swords shot out, merging with the Pure Yang Sword in his hand. Crimson sword light immediately burst forth and intensified several times in radiance.

In his other hand, a green shadow flickered as he retrieved the Hongming Saber, intending to launch slashing strikes while simultaneously having the Destructive Mingwang attack again, hoping to breach the array’s barrier.

But just then, the black vortexes within the eye sockets of the three Crystal Skulls erupted with billowing black flames, which penetrated through two layers of the merging formation in an instant, surging toward them.

Within the flames, Shen Luo smelled a familiar Chiyou aura and was alarmed, realizing that this demon fire was extraordinary.

The demon fire surged forth, encountering the Fox Spirit Evil Ghosts within the formation. Instead of burning through them, it clung to their bodies, adorning them with a layer of demon fire armor.

In an instant, all the fox spirits within the great formation were clad in black demon flames. They no longer feared the Pure Yang Sword and swarmed toward Shen Luo.

Seeing this, Shen Luo swung his longsword in a horizontal slash. The sword light extended tens of yards, striking the demon flame-clad fox spirits.

Yet where the sword edge landed, only the foremost fox spirits were shattered by the sword light, while the ones in the rear were merely pushed back without completely dissipating.

At the same time, behind him, a horde of demon flame-clad fox spirits surged toward Nie Caizhu.

Nie Caizhu’s Kunlun Mirror flashed repeatedly with black light, unleashing wave after wave of black energy that repelled many fox spirits.

However, the fox spirits clad in demon flames possessed far superior speed and responsiveness compared to before. Despite the surging black energy waves, many dodged past and closed in on Nie Caizhu, their eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty hunger.

"Strike!"

Nie Caizhu shouted delicately. The long silk in her other hand unfurled, stirring up immortal energy and transforming into layers of colorful radiance that extended a hundredfold, entangling and throwing the Fox Spirit Evil Ghosts aside.

She flicked her wrist to retract the Nine Heavens Immortal Silk, only to find that it bore multiple scorch marks. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of distress.

This treasure was a gift from her master and had always been cherished. Unexpectedly, just a brief contact with the black demon flames had severely damaged the magical treasure, diminishing the spiritual aura radiating from its surface.

As she fumed inwardly, Shen Luo suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"

A menacing spirit with the aura of a True Immortal Peak, bearing a fox head and human body, burst out from within the black waves of light. Its body was clad in demon flame armor, wielding a long spear forged from demon flames, which pierced through two fox spirits’ chests as it lunged toward Nie Caizhu’s heart.

Nie Caizhu used her Immortal Silk for protection, which rose instantly into the air and formed a net to block the demon flame spear.

However, the spear’s thrust was not only swift but also cunningly angled, piercing through the silk’s defense as it aimed directly for Nie Caizhu’s chest.

Just then, a gilded cup appeared out of thin air in front of Nie Caizhu’s chest. Its surface glimmered, and it immediately radiated dazzling golden light that enveloped Nie Caizhu entirely.

The spear struck the golden sphere formed by the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, producing a sharp screech but failing to penetrate.

The fox-headed spirit stepped forward and forcefully drove its spear again, attempting to pierce through this defense.

At that moment, a shadow flashed behind it, accompanied by the resonant hum of a blade.

The Hongming Saber emanated green radiance, fluid like emerald waters, slicing across the spirit’s back in an instant.

A faint "pfft" sound followed.

The blade severed the fox spirit’s body, splitting it into two halves. The spirit let out a mournful cry as its bifurcated body was engulfed by the green blade’s aura, swallowed entirely. The saber’s presence grew increasingly menacing.

"Are you okay?" Shen Luo hastily stepped in front of Nie Caizhu, his Pure Yang Sword and Hongming Saber unleashing myriad sword shadows and blade lights that slaughtered the surrounding fox spirits, clearing a large area.

"I’m fine, but this black flame is truly unusual. It carries a potent force of corruption and contamination. Just a brief contact has significantly eroded both my Nine Heavens Immortal Silk and your Thousand Cup Golden Goblet." Nie Caizhu frowned.

Shen Luo retrieved the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet for inspection and found a section blackened.

The weapons in his hands, however, remained unaffected. The Pure Yang Sword contained True Solar Fire that restrained demonic qi, and the Hongming Saber could directly devour the demon flame fox spirits.

"These fox spirits are not ordinary, and the demon flames on them bear Chiyou’s aura. They are highly dangerous—do not touch them!" Shen Luo warned gravely.

"We need to escape quickly. If we remain trapped here until that old fox completes the inheritance, none of us will be able to leave." Nie Caizhu said anxiously.

"This Wanhu Extinguishing Formation is vastly different from what we encountered before. I tried using the Eyes of World Destruction from the Destructive Mingwang Armor but failed to break through. Even the Shrinking Earth Ruler couldn’t help us escape—the chances of breaking free easily seem slim." Shen Luo replied.

As his words fell, hordes of fox spirits clad in demon flames surged toward them again. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

This time, unlike their previous assault, the fox spirits advanced as a united wave, attacking like a tidal flood aiming to drown out the two with sheer numbers.

The pair quickly unleashed their full power. Sword light and blade auras flashed furiously; black waves of energy surged like tides.

No matter how fiercely they defended, the overwhelming assault began to overtake them. Their relentless efforts could only stave off the attack momentarily as the surrounding fox spirits pushed their encirclement tighter, leaving them with no room for escape.

Nie Caizhu narrowed her eyes. The white butterfly wings on her back began to glow as she prepared to unleash her Time Divine Ability to shift the tides of the battle.

"Not yet, Cai Zhu!" Shen Luo hastily stopped her and summoned the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet once more.

The golden shine from the goblet expanded into a spherical curtain of light that enveloped the two, while radiating outward to repel the demon flame fox spirits.

The Hongming Saber and Pure Yang Sword danced wildly, crimson flames sparking along the sword’s body—the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that restrained all ghostly entities.

Sword qi and blade light spread out like the opening fan of a peacock, slashing at the fox spirits nearby.

Meanwhile, yellow light and dark shadows flickered as Sky Fiend Corpse King and Zhao Feiji appeared, attacking relentlessly. The corpse king spewed corpse flames from its mouth, while Zhao Feiji emitted sound waves through his flute to eliminate the fox spirits nearby.

The black demon flames were blocked by the golden sphere from the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, while Shen Luo and the summoned entities attacked freely, slaughtering vast numbers of fox spirits and ghostly creatures in an instant.
