Chapter 494: Chapter 488: Has the Demoness Gone Mad?

Lul Xiao seemed to transform into lightning in an instant, closing the distance with Ye Zhen to thirty meters in a moment. Almost simultaneously, vast waves of green flames surged out of Lul Xiao’s palm like roaring tsunami waves, rushing towards Ye Zhen.

"Be careful, that’s the Green Flame Wave, extremely venomous..."

As the cry of alarm sounded, or rather, in the moment Lul Xiao seized to launch his attack, Deviless Luo Yingzi also made her move.

The moment the green flames burst forth, Luo Yingzi’s voice resonated in Ye Zhen’s mind.

As the green flames emerged, Ye Zhen’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Without needing Luo Yingzi’s explanation, Ye Zhen could already sense the terror of these green flames.

These green flames, while referred to as such, had no trace of temperature, yet they were terrifyingly lethal. Ordinary flowers and grass within a radius of ten yards instantly withered and turned scorched, as if they could strip away all life.

What was most fatal was that the green flames surged towards Ye Zhen from the front, left, and right, virtually sealing all of his paths for evasion, leaving him no choice but to face it head-on.

Of course, he could also retreat, but behind him, five Spirit Arrows from Soul Chasing Arrow Valley Bufan were tightly locking onto Ye Zhen.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The distinctive shrill of the Spirit Arrows tearing through the air suddenly erupted, the sounds of air being torn apart melding into a wave of noise, so tremendous it seemed it could split one’s eardrums.

Five green tornadoes, divided into top, middle, and bottom trajectories, attacked Ye Zhen. The most dangerous part was that during their flight, the five green tornadoes slightly adjusted their directions, clearly containing powerful Divine Soul Attacks!

Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned exceedingly grave.

The joint attack of Lul Xiao and Soul Chasing Arrow Valley Bufan was indeed terrifying!

Under this pincer move, even if Ye Zhen was to use the Demon Soul Hall and Mirage Dragon Pearl at the same time, he would still be absolutely unable to withstand it. Of course, that was also because Ye Zhen was still not very familiar with the Demon Soul Hall; if he were, the Demon Soul Hall, this fortress of war, would certainly not be in vain.

But the most crucial thing was the present situation.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhen was undoubtedly doomed under the attack of these two.

Dodging was impossible; he could only take it head-on!

Previously, Ye Zhen had already faced head-on one of Bufan’s Soul Chasing Arrows, which superficially took three arrows, but in reality, taking even one arrow had shattered Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spirit Armor.

Now facing five arrows, and with the terrifying Green Flame Wave bearing down like a blanket from the front, Ye Zhen was almost in a situation with no escape to heaven and no door to hell.

However, this was only under normal circumstances; the current situation differed from before.

Previously, Bufan’s attack was nearly a sneak attack, giving Ye Zhen hardly any time to react. Now, Ye Zhen was already in battle, always on guard against Bufan. Even though the time was brief, Ye Zhen had time to react.

Currently, both dodging and facing it head-on were dead ends under normal circumstances, but Ye Zhen should never be viewed with ordinary eyes!

Right when Lul Xiao’s Green Flame Wave attacked and Soul Chasing Arrow Valley Bufan launched a pincer attack on him, Ye Zhen had already thought of a counter-strategy.

Almost at the instant when the five Soul Chasing Spirit Arrows tore through the air, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense plunged into the Silver Line Demon Eagle King Soul Pearl within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Woosh!

A pair of enormous Spiritual Power Wings instantly materialized behind Ye Zhen, vibrating at high speed.

Silver Line Flash!

This was Ye Zhen’s only lifeline in such a situation.

Ordinary Martial Skills were useless, but Silver Line Flash, a talent inherently belonging to demon beasts and akin to Divine Power Martial Skills, capable of crossing kilometers in a blink, was effective!

That was also why Ye Zhen was alarmed yet not flustered!

At that moment, Ye Zhen could already sense the merciless, essence-burning horror within the Green Flame Wave, while behind him, the five Soul Chasing Spirit Arrows locked onto him felt increasingly like thorns on his back — and they were getting fiercer!

Whew!

The moment the enormous Spiritual Power Wings appeared, they turned into a silver line, making Ye Zhen’s body also seem to turn into a vanishing silver line.

Just in that instant, Ye Zhen saw a blood-red object flash past him from the side, and as his large Spirit Wings behind him transformed into a silver line, it fiercely smashed onto Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spirit Armor!

Whoosh!

As the blood-red object suddenly exploded, Ye Zhen’s form also turned into a silver line and abruptly vanished!

Bang!

The moment his form vanished with Silver Line Flash, Ye Zhen felt an intense pain explode in his forehead, as if he had slammed into some sort of metallic barrier, causing his entire body’s Red Jade Spirit Armor to suddenly disintegrate.

Ye Zhen felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the world was spinning.

"How could this be?"

Ye Zhen was greatly alarmed; when he activated Silver Line Flash, he had already chosen a clear path, and he would not have crashed into any mountain rock or the like. Moreover, no mountain, no matter how strong, could possibly stop him, let alone shatter his Red Jade Spirit Armor upon impact.

Touching his forehead, Ye Zhen desperately activated his Divine Soul Power, trying to quickly escape this dizzying sensation. At such a critical moment, how could he afford to feel disoriented?

With a rumbling sound, Ye Zhen finally regained his senses enough to see the situation around and outside him clearly.

He seemed to be surrounded by something.

Engulfed in a thick blood color, reminiscent of cotton candy, it didn’t obstruct his view, allowing him to clearly see outside.

Outside, Lul Xiao’s face was a picture of shock, his eyes filled with disbelief. At that moment, Lul Xiao’s Green Flame Wave was crashing onto Ye Zhen like waves, one after another — or rather, crashing upon the layer of blood-colored cotton candy that enveloped Ye Zhen’s body.

No matter how terrifying Lul Xiao’s Green Flame Wave was, it was utterly ineffective against the blood-colored cotton candy. The cotton candy merely rippled once, and the Green Flame Wave completely vanished.

At the same time, the five exceptionally powerful Soul Chasing Spirit Arrows from Guz Bufan also struck the blood-colored cotton candy, which could have shattered Ye Zhen’s Protective Spirit Force with a single strike. But upon hitting the cotton candy, the arrows simply disappeared without a trace, causing only a small ripple.

A few meters to Ye Zhen’s left, Deviless Luo Yingzi stood there with a look of relief.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen understood what this blood-colored cotton candy was!

"Boom, quickly use your Heavenly Thunder to strike them! Use Divine Sense to activate it. The Protective Cloud Light formed by the Demon Cloud Fruit blocks only the outside, not the inside!" Luo Yingzi’s Divine Soul Telecommunication resounded in Ye Zhen’s mind.

Boom!

Without hesitation, Divine Sense surged forth. The previously refined-steel-like blood-colored cotton candy seemed transparent, and a spine-chilling Heavenly Thunder, dragging a long tail, thundered towards Lul Xiao.

Almost at the same time, Deviless Luo Yingzi, her graceful body bending like a willow, moved toward Lul Xiao, and a surge of Profound Yin Spiritual Power gushed out like black jade.

A strangely structured Green Flame Shield was swiftly raised by Lul Xiao, barely blocking Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright like a dam.

At the same moment, the twang of a bowstring echoed, and the whistling of Guz Bufan’s Soul Chasing Spirit Arrows was heard again. This time, however, Luo Yingzi was the target.

Ye Zhen moved instantly, confronting Guz Bufan’s Soul Chasing Spirit Arrows with the Protective Demon Cloud, and with a flick of his hand, another Heavenly Thunder of Fright thundered down on Lul Xiao.

As she dodged the Soul Chasing Spirit Arrow, Luo Yingzi, unexpectedly glancing at Ye Zhen, shouted sharply. Profound Yin Spiritual Power condensed into eight black jade silk ribbon-like Spirit Snakes, entwining towards Lul Xiao, joining Ye Zhen in an assault!

"Retreat!"

"This demoness has gone mad! Retreat quickly!"

Lul Xiao yelped, his previous Cloud Wing technique reappearing, shooting towards Guz Bufan’s direction like a cannonball. Fleeing, he supported himself with his palms, summoning two Green Flame Shields, desperately fending off Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright.

Clearly, Lul Xiao was extremely wary of Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright, even at the cost of enduring an attack from Luo Yingzi.

Between the quick rise and feint, Lul Xiao flashed to the position previously occupied by Guz Bufan, while Guz Bufan had already retreated more than a hundred meters away.

"Yi Shan, hurry!"

During the retreat, Lul Xiao roared at his junior brother. After Yi Shan had been rescued by Guz Bufan, he had been tightly entangled by Ye Zhen’s Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

However, Lul Xiao merely roared out loud, not daring to make a move to rescue Yi Shan or wait for Yi Shan to retreat; he retreated like lightning.

While retreating, he unleashed wave after wave of Green Flame Waves, blocking Ye Zhen and Luo Yingzi’s pursuit.

Most shockingly, the distance between Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan of the Soul Chasing Arrow Valley always maintained around a hundred meters, and the giant bow was loaded with three huge Spirit Arrows, ready but unreleased. It was clear to everyone that anyone pursuing them would certainly provoke a joint attack from Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan.

It was evident that Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan were experts in joint strikes; both were incredibly powerful at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm and excelled in coordinating their attacks. It was normal for even a great Vein Forging Realm powerhouse to be at a disadvantage facing them.

Yi Shan, who had been tightly bound by the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, was dumbfounded.

Before he could react, eight black jade-like silk ribbons tightly wound around Yi Shan, the Profound Yin Force Field exploded forth, and Yi Shan was directly crushed by the Profound Yin Force Field!

"Junior brother Yi Shan!"

"Demoness, Ye, just you wait. When you leave the Secret Realm, that will be your demise!"

After a stern shout, Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan’s figures completely disappeared at the end of the passageway!

After the two fled, Ye Zhen stared at Luo Yingzi, somewhat dazed.

The Demon Cloud Fruit truly lived up to its reputation as a martial artist’s second life. Although Ye Zhen could have dodged Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan’s combined assault on his own, it definitely wouldn’t have been as effortless as with the Protective Demon Cloud from the Demon Cloud Fruit.

Moreover, the hasty retreat of Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan was also due to the effect of the Demon Cloud Fruit, which could last for half an hour.

In other words, for half an hour, Ye Zhen was almost invincible in their presence!

However, what Ye Zhen was perplexed about wasn’t this issue. He was astonished that the Deviless Luo Yingzi would actually sacrifice the Demon Cloud Fruit in that critical moment to save his life.

After all, from the time Ye Zhen met Luo Yingzi to actually getting to know her, it hadn’t even been half an hour.

The Demon Cloud Fruit was extremely precious, and according to Luo Yingzi, this strong defensive ability named the martial artist’s second life wasn’t even the most valuable aspect of the Demon Cloud Fruit.

Even Lul Xiao had just exclaimed, "The demoness is crazy!"

It showed how incredibly valuable it was that Luo Yingzi could act this way, making Ye Zhen feel an unusual sensation and greatly changing his perception of the Demoness Luo Yingzi.

Seeing Ye Zhen’s dazed gaze, Luo Yingzi’s pretty eyes suddenly blinked! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), or give a monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
