Chapter 384: The Power of the Illusion Liquid!

Several people’s expressions changed as they looked towards the lake ahead.

At this moment, the lake was no longer calm as it had been before; it was even starting to surge with waves!

“What on earth is happening beneath the lake?!” Wu Neng said, his eyes filled with shock, staring blankly.

“Be on guard!” Zhi’er said seriously, her expression grave.

She sensed a powerful aura slowly approaching the surface from the depths of the lake.

“Bang!”

At that moment, the spirit mirror in front of Zhi’er suddenly shattered!

“The little spirit was killed by a force,” Zhi’er said, her eyes wide with horror.

Wu Neng felt a bit panicked inside.

As a three-star mage, his strength was only considered average within the Order organization.

Yet the scene before him was something he had never encountered before.

The person capable of causing such a commotion must possess terrifying power.

And the unconscious Ji Feng was a bloody example of that.

Even a four-star mage had been severely injured; he, as a three-star mage, was certainly no match.

“Should we request reinforcements?!” Wu Neng turned to Zhi’er, his face pale as he asked.

Zhi’er glanced at Wu Neng, her brows furrowed, and said, “You can request reinforcements, but I can tell you that the only Order members active near the Southern City are the two of us and Old Ji. It might already be too late to call for help.”

“Then what should we do? The enemy is about to come up; we definitely can’t handle them!” Wu Neng said, sweating and trembling.

“Don’t worry, with me, a four-star mage, here, I won’t let a three-star little pawn like you die first,” Zhi’er shot a glance at Wu Neng, speaking with irritation.

Wu Neng’s expression changed; he felt Zhi’er’s disdain and felt a bit ashamed, lowering his head and saying nothing more.

Beside them, Ye Shengxue looked at Zhi’er, surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

This girl, who looked only eleven or twelve, had an extraordinary mind.

Most people would have been scared stiff by the scene before them, just like Wu Neng.

But Zhi’er displayed remarkable calmness and composure, making one doubt whether her age truly matched her appearance.

“You should hurry and leave now; if possible, take Old Ji with you,” Zhi’er said, looking at Ye Shengxue.

Ye Shengxue nodded, bending down to help the unconscious Ji Feng and retreating.

Her abilities were not particularly combat-oriented, so staying in place wouldn’t help much.

After creating a safe distance, she could instead use the Ice Heart Technique to assist Zhi’er.

“Whoosh!”

As Ye Shengxue retreated with Ji Feng, a column of water erupted from the lake.

The water column was over ten meters high.

Zhi’er focused intently, her eyes sharp.

She had sensed a chilling aura within the water column!

“Bang!”

After the water column shot up, it quickly fell back into the lake.

No figure appeared before them.

“What’s going on?”

Zhi’er’s brows furrowed.

That chilling aura was clearly still approaching!

But she couldn’t see any figure!

Could it be that the enemy was invisible?

Thinking of this, Zhi’er felt alarm bells ringing in her heart, immediately raising her wand and shouting to the shocked Wu Neng beside her, “Quick, use the Protective Technique!”

As soon as Zhi’er finished speaking, the wand in her hand glowed with white light, forming a faint shield around her body.

Wu Neng, upon hearing Zhi’er’s words, trembled all over, snapped back to reality, and hurriedly began to chant the incantation.

Unlike Zhi’er, who was a prodigy, he needed several seconds to cast the Protective Technique!

Perhaps due to his nervousness, Wu Neng actually mispronounced the incantation!

He had to start over!

“Hurry up!” Zhi’er sensed that the chilling aura was already right in front of them.

She wanted to locate the source of this aura but couldn’t capture any information!

Wu Neng was already tense, and Zhi’er’s shout left his mind blank, standing there in a daze.

“There’s a drop of black liquid in the air; it’s moving quickly and is already in front of you! Be careful!”

At that moment, Ye Shengxue, who was dozens of meters away, shouted loudly, her eyes glowing with a faint blue light.

Zhi’er reacted, extending her wand to cast a Protective Technique for Wu Neng.

But at that moment, a tiny drop of black liquid had already landed on Wu Neng’s forehead.

Wu Neng felt a chill on his forehead, as if raindrops were falling, and was about to reach up to wipe it away.

But the next second, Wu Neng’s whole body jolted, and his eyes turned white!

“Wu Neng!” Zhi’er’s face changed dramatically as she screamed.

Wu Neng stood rigidly in place, his eyes slowly turning black until his eye sockets were completely dark!

Zhi’er’s face turned pale as she staggered back.

She knew it was already too late.

Wu Neng’s neck stiffly twisted.

As he twisted, his movements gradually became fluid.

He stood there, looking around, his face showing a look of horror.

What he had just encountered underground had nearly obliterated him!

He had condensed a massive energy ball and slammed it into Fang Yu’s chest!

But Fang Yu’s body radiated a brilliant golden light, actually withstanding his strongest attack!

Then, the flames ignited in Fang Yu’s hand burned away most of his body, leaving only a tiny drop that managed to escape!

Now, he had to run!

The flames Fang Yu used completely countered him!

If he didn’t leave, the consequences would be unimaginable!

That damned human!

“Illusion Liquid, the King commands you to retreat immediately! The teleportation array will take about half a minute; within that time, we will teleport you back!”

At that moment, Yan Yao’s voice echoed in the Illusion Liquid’s mind.

“Understood,” the Illusion Liquid replied.

After saying that, it coldly glanced at Zhi’er before turning to leave.

“Stop!”

At that moment, Zhi’er waved her wand.

Two glowing ropes suddenly appeared beneath the Illusion Liquid’s feet, tightly binding it.

The Illusion Liquid erupted with killing intent, turning around and striking out a palm at Zhi’er.

Once it possessed a human body, the Illusion Liquid could use its own energy.

“Boom!”

A powerful energy surged towards Zhi’er.

Zhi’er’s expression changed slightly as she drew a circle in front of her with her wand.

A pentagram seal appeared in the air, instantly shattering under the impact.

However, this energy did not dissipate; the residual force struck Zhi’er directly.

Zhi’er let out a muffled groan, falling to the ground with blood spilling from her mouth.

The Illusion Liquid coldly glanced at Zhi’er, forcefully pulling its feet.

“Crack!”

The ropes conjured by Zhi’er’s magic were instantly broken.

Then, the Illusion Liquid turned to leave.

Zhi’er gritted her teeth, enduring the pain to raise her wand again.

In the distance, Ye Shengxue’s face changed dramatically upon seeing this.

The enemy was clearly about to leave, yet Zhi’er was trying to forcefully keep them here; this would only provoke them!

Why was Zhi’er doing this?

But Ye Shengxue had no time to stop her; the top of Zhi’er’s wand glowed with light.

A light barrier appeared in front of the Illusion Liquid, blocking its path.

The Illusion Liquid halted, its killing intent reaching its peak.

Being burned by Fang Yu’s flames and losing a significant part of its body was already extremely frustrating for it.

Zhi’er blocking its path completely ignited its rage.

“Insignificant human, you have successfully angered me.”

The Illusion Liquid turned to Zhi’er, raising a hand.

Zhi’er, pale-faced, said, “You must leave Wu Neng’s body immediately!”

The Illusion Liquid grinned cruelly, extending its index finger.

A black light glimmered on its fingertip.

A suffocating energy radiated from it.

Zhi’er extended her wand, the gem at the top glowing with dazzling light.

She knew she was unlikely to withstand the Illusion Liquid’s attack.

But she had no other choice.

She couldn’t just watch Wu Neng be taken away!

Especially since she had just promised not to let Wu Neng die first!

In the distance, Ye Shengxue was anxiously pacing.

She regretted not notifying her family to send reinforcements earlier.

The current situation had exceeded her expectations.

Fang Yu had jumped into the lake and hadn’t resurfaced; she had no idea what was happening.

“What should we do? What should we do?”

Even with the Ice Heart Technique activated, Ye Shengxue’s mind couldn’t remain calm.

“Overestimating oneself.”

The Illusion Liquid coldly laughed, and the black light on its fingertip shot out, heading straight for Zhi’er’s chest.
