Chapter 612
The Frozen Poison Swamp, the Ghost Lord's Thoughts of Retreat
Xue Ling wasn't idle either. With her small mouth slightly open, she exhaled a white, extremely cold aura, instantly turning the rapidly approaching demons or puppet bone soldiers into ice sculptures.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
The ice sculpture shattered, sending fragments flying everywhere. With Xue Ling and Xiao Yao working together, the demon soldiers who wanted to surround Jiang Han and his companions couldn't get close at all. At this moment, Long Da and Long Er launched another attack on You Du Gui Jun.
The sharp bone claws swung down fiercely, and if the Ghost Lord of the Nether Poison hadn't dove into the swamp below in time, he might have been cut into several pieces by the swooping dragon.
A moment later, the Ghostly Demon Lord emerged from the swamp again, spewing eerie green poisonous gas toward Long Da, who had risen into the air once more. Shockingly, this eerie green poisonous gas was able to corrode Long Da's bones, which were harder than steel.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!"
wisps of white smoke rose continuously from the jade-like bones, followed by the appearance of tiny holes appearing on the bones. Then, a pair of withered white claws reached down from below and tore off Long Da's corroded tailbone.
It should be noted that Long Da's bones were tempered by the evil energy within his body, making them so sturdy that even a monarch-level demon of the same level could not break through them. Yet now, the Nether Poison Ghost Lord tore a piece of bone off Long Da's tail with just his venom and claws. This shows just how terrifying the Nether Poison Ghost Lord's strength is. No wonder even the super-level experts of the Hunter Alliance dare not easily set foot in this lake valley.
A cry of "Ugh~" suddenly rang out, followed by violent spatial fluctuations from beside the Ghost Lord of the Dark Poison.
"Pfft!!"
Countless spatial blades instantly shot towards the Ghost Lord of the Netherworld, piercing through the blue skin on his body in a flash, followed by gurgling blue blood flowing from the wounds.
"Roar!!" The Poisonous Ghost Lord roared angrily, glaring at Xiao Yao who had attacked it. It wanted to tear this damned insect to pieces.
Before the Ghost Lord of the Netherworld could make a move, the Bone-Body Shadow Lord hidden on his body launched the first attack, its figure merging into the darkness and heading straight for Xiao Yao, who was preparing to return to the spatial rift.
"Shadow Strike!"
Xue Ling had already noticed the Bone Shadow Lord, so the moment it merged into the shadows, Xue Ling was on high alert, ready to defend against an attack.
A dark figure suddenly darted out from the shadows not far from Xiao Yao, moving so fast that even Jiang Han, who was watching closely, couldn't see it clearly. Although Jiang Han couldn't see the figure's appearance, he could guess that it was the Bone-Body Shadow Lord that was attached to the Nether Poison Ghost Lord.
Before Jiang Han could remind her, Xue Ling's body was covered with countless ice spikes, and wisps of white mist spread out from the ice spikes, aiming directly at the Bone-Body Shadow Lord who had just emerged from the shadows.
"Hehe, I caught you!" Xue Ling smiled and raised her fair fingers, waving at Fu Gu Ying Jun who was pouncing on Xiao Yao.
“Swish swish!!”
The ice spikes whistled as they shot toward the Bone-Body Shadow Lord in mid-air, and Xiao Yao, sensing the danger, instantly fled into the spatial rift that had been created.
The Bone-Body Shadow Lord, suspended in mid-air, was unable to dodge the ice spikes shot at it. But would the Bone-Body Shadow Lord, which parasitizes the Nether Poison Ghost Lord, be so simple?
It may not have the same physical defense as the Nether Poisonous Ghost Lord, but its ability to hide and evade is far superior to that of other demons of the same level. It opened its mouth and spewed out black mist to envelop itself, and then its figure disappeared into the black mist.
Seeing that the ice spikes piercing through the black mist had not caused any harm to the Bone Shadow Lord, Xue Ling did not show much emotional fluctuation.
He simply opened his mouth and exhaled a cloud of white mist, which grew larger and larger, quickly enveloping most of the lake valley. Immediately, the temperature in the lake valley dropped to freezing point under the white mist.
The swamp turned into frozen soil at this moment, which made things difficult for Mo Fan and his group who had retreated to the mouth of the lake valley. As for Jiang Han, he opened up a spatial barrier to isolate the cold air the moment the white mist spread.
"Hiss~, is it that cold?" Mo Fan gasped and rubbed his arms.
"Luckily, Jiang Han blocked the cold air in time, otherwise we might have been frozen into ice sculptures too." Zhao Manyan nodded in agreement. He almost thought he was going to freeze to death just now, but luckily Jiang Han created a spatial barrier in time.
"Is this what battles between monarch-level beings look like?" Mu Ningxue looked at the dragons, including Long Da, Long Er, and Youdu Guijun, who were locked in combat.
This was the first time she had witnessed a battle between monarch-level creatures, which made her realize more clearly the gap between herself and Jiang Han.
From Bo City to the capital, she never slacked off in her cultivation, but she suddenly realized that the gap between the two of them seemed to be widening.
The Winged Wolves during the Bo City disaster were so terrifying, but now Jiang Han, a demon of this level, can summon dozens of them at any time. How can I close the gap between him and me?
Mu Ningxue looked at the man she didn't know how to face with a complicated expression.
The scene of Long Da and Long Er besieging and killing You Du Gui Jun was extremely tragic. Ordinary demons or undead creatures could not even get within a hundred meters of them.
There are several large pits in the frozen lake and swamp, containing either dark blue flesh and blood or fragments of bone that look like white jade. Overall, dark blue flesh and blood are the most common.
"Roar~" The Ghost Lord of the Netherworld, whose body was covered with hideous wounds, let out a unwilling roar.
It had fought against Long Da and Long Er several times, but each time it ended up being injured. The loss of blood caused its combat power to decline continuously. If this continued, it would die. Youdu Ghost Lord had already smelled the scent of death.
As for the situation on the side of the Bone Shadow Lord, it wasn't much better; in fact, they were being beaten the whole time.
No matter where it appears, it will be met with a head-on attack from Xue Ling or Xiao Yao. If Xue Ling and Xiao Yao didn't want to lose such a good 'toy', the Bone Shadow Lord might already be a corpse by now.
Escape! We must escape!!
As long as it lives, the Poisonous Miasma Valley can be rebuilt; as for the demons under its command, they are dead and that's that—they are not even within the scope of the Poisonous Demon Lord's consideration.
Thinking of this, the Poisonous Demon Lord no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of dark blue poisonous mist, attempting to obscure the vision of Long Da and Xue Ling, and take the opportunity to escape.
"Xiao Yao, stop playing, that bloodsucking worm is about to escape."
Xue Ling, who was originally teasing the Bone-Body Shadow Lord, was the first to discover the Poisonous Ghost Lord's intentions.
"Woo woo~" Xiao Yao let out a low moan.
The tiny, silvery-white horn on Xiao Yao's head suddenly lit up.
"Snap, snap!!!"
A sound like shattering glass came from the shadows of the trees in the distance, and then a shadowy mass in the shadows began to writhe violently.
Soon after, streaks of jet-black blood began to flow from the shadows, and eventually the shadows returned to complete stillness.
"Woo woo woo~~~~" Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Yao immediately let out an excited cry, and then swam to Xue Ling's front like a child seeking praise from its parents.
"Mmm (*╰╯`), you're amazing!" Xue Ling reached out her fair little hand and gently patted Xiao Yao's head.
