Chapter 176 There's no escape, and Ah Cong can't stop them.
Lu Bing thought that perhaps this place would also become the final resting place for his body of Fuxi, imprisoning the image of Taiyin, adding another mirage to the path of the secret realm.
After being trained by Chen Ying for several months, Lu Bing discovered that he, who used to be so fearful of gods and ghosts, was now completely unafraid in the face of these things.
How can someone who isn't afraid of death have any fears?
After all these days, it seems that only death can completely free him from Chen Ying and this body that has been ravaged like a snake's den.
Lu Bing watched as the mirage demon that pounced on him was cleaved apart by the Wangxiang, turning into wisps of grayish-white damp mist. A moment later, it returned with a vengeance, eyeing the living body of Fuxi with predatory intent.
Damp mist rose from the sea, spreading to the small boat and condensing into a withered claw that gripped Lu Bing's left shoulder from behind.
Chen Ying grabbed Lu Bing and stabbed him with her dagger. However, the damp mist drifted over the tip of her dagger, like wisps of smoke, and floated down Chen Ying's arm toward Lu Bing, revealing an ethereal ghost face in front of his face. It was almost pressed against Lu Bing's face, and with his breath, the mirage naturally seeped into his mouth and nose.
Chen Ying swung her hand back and abruptly covered Lu Bing's mouth and nose, shouting sharply, "Get out of here!"
In an instant, the surrounding mirages became incredibly ferocious amidst the sea mist, like twisted, malevolent ghosts, baring their fangs and claws as they swooped down.
The monstrous creature swung its longsword, but when it touched the thick, damp fog, it made a sizzling sound. The monstrous creature's thin human skin was instantly corroded by the damp fog. Before it could withdraw its hand, the dark blue-green corpse fluid inside leaked out, and its palm immediately deflated, unable to hold the sword.
Similarly, the back of Chen Ying's hand, which was covering Lu Bing's mouth and nose, was corroded by the mirage, like a large spoonful of boiling oil being poured on her. Her skin and flesh sizzled instantly, first turning red, then rapidly festering. The burning pain made her tremble uncontrollably.
Her hand was soon a bloody mess, with blood constantly flowing down. Chen Ying endured the excruciating pain and refused to let go, her red and tearful eyes fixed on Lu Bing.
Lu Bing smelled the scent of blood and flesh. He hadn't expected Chen Ying to be so patient. He hoped that the scoundrel would rot into a pool of blood, and that not even a bone fragment would be left.
He firmly believed that evil deeds would be punished, and that this wicked woman deserved her retribution long ago!
Perhaps Yin Sui finally granted his wish, allowing him to summon this group of mirages, so that they could all perish together.
However, at that moment, the small boat beneath them suddenly lurched and almost capsized, causing Chen Ying and Lu Bing to stumble and nearly fall into the sea.
When Ah Cong arrived, he grabbed the boat log with one hand and Chen Ying's bloody arm with the other. He glanced at it and saw that the flesh on the back of Chen Ying's hand was completely ulcerated and the bone was exposed.
"Ah Cong!" Chen Ying cried out in pain, but she had no time to cry out in pain or ask where Ah Cong had gone.
In just a moment, the mirage rushed toward Lu Bing. Chen Ying made a move to block it, but was pulled back forcefully by A Cong.
Chen Ying was extremely anxious: "Why are you pulling me? Protect him!"
A mirage that corroded flesh and blood swept in, but Ah Cong only cared about pressing the impatient Chen Ying to the bottom of the boat, not allowing her to make any rash moves.
Chen Ying's arm was in excruciating pain, and her face was covered in cold sweat. At that moment, she shouted and yelled, "Ah Cong!"
Ah Cong wouldn't listen at all. To it, Chen Ying's safety was more important than Lu Bing's. Over the years, it had become accustomed to protecting Chen Ying in critical moments.
Chen Ying was furious. She shoved Ah Cong aside and was hit by a wave of flying mirages. The mirage energy just touched her face, and her cheeks immediately felt unbearable pain.
"ah--"
A festering wound the size of a copper coin appeared on Chen Ying's right cheek.
The small boat rocked violently. As she was jostled by the sizzling, oil-like mirages, she lost her footing and tumbled into the sea. Large, festering wounds soaked into the salty water, the pain nearly causing Chen Ying to faint.
The mirage writhed and crashed through the sea fog, corroding several human skins, leaving the tattered shrouds floating on the surface of the sea.
Ah Cong grabbed Chen Ying and dodged, barely avoiding the mirage ghost that pounced on him.
"Don't worry about me, go save Lu Bing! These mirage ghosts want to seize Yin Sui and Fu Xi's body!" Chen Ying was extremely anxious. She even choked on salt water when she spoke. Several mirage ghosts circled around the small boat, and wisps of mirage energy kept pouring into Lu Bing's mouth and nose. Half of the mirage shadow had already attached itself to Lu Bing's body.
Chen Ying's expression changed drastically; if she didn't stop it now, it would be too late.
She swam towards the small boat without hesitation.
The celestial being moved extremely fast in the water. In the blink of an eye, Acong arrived in front of the boat, and the mirages hovering above it swarmed towards it like bees.
Just then, a fierce wind swept in, no less powerful than the storm that stirred up the giant waves.
The storm howled, whipping up spray and stirring up the damp mist, scattering all the mirages on the sea surface, crushing them into wisps of smoke that mingled with the wind, slowly forming a giant windmill all around.
The Gu Master and Wang Xiang in the water suddenly realized something.
Chen Ying saw a ship sailing into the storm, with two figures, one in green and one in white, standing on the high deck.
The ship sailed extremely smoothly, perhaps because this sea area was protected by the Zhenlan Stone. Despite the raging storm, the sea remained calm.
"As expected, that blind man still caught up with us." Actually, Chen Ying wasn't surprised at all. She rushed to Donghai in a hurry because she was afraid of wasting time and things might change if she was late. However, Zhou Yaren still managed to catch up with her.
Fearing it might jeopardize the plan, Chen Ying looked up at the sky. The sun was already mostly obscured, and the eclipse was just a matter of time before the moon completely eclipsed the sun...
The sea creatures saw the blue-clad figure standing at the bow of the ship, and at that moment they all gathered together, united in their hatred of the enemy.
Chen Ying heard a faint gurgling sound, like boiling water bubbling. This was the monstrous creatures communicating with each other, which other species could not understand at all.
Ah Cong then made a few hand gestures to her, and Chen Ying immediately climbed onto the boat, only to be quickly pushed away by the swarming boat in the water.
She knew there was no way to avoid it, so Chen Ying turned around and said, "Be careful."
After saying that, all the elephants dived into the seabed, without even a ripple on the surface.
Silently, they moved with ease in the sea, surrounding the ship that was safely navigating the waves from all directions.
Chen Ying had experienced the power of the blind master in Shanzhou, but this place was located in the vast ocean, where the blind were almost invincible, so she was not too worried. However, Lu Bing's condition made her more anxious.
Because she had witnessed the mirage enter Lu Bing's body, and the situation was unclear, Chen Ying knelt beside the unconscious Lu Bing, patting his face with trembling hands.
"Lu Bing, Lu Bing."
Her hands were covered in blood, which dripped onto Lu Bing's face. Chen Ying gritted her teeth and endured the burning pain in her arms and the backs of her hands as she shakily wiped the blood from Lu Bing's face: "Wake up, Lu Bing."
Lu Bing's health was deteriorating, and she was afraid that if something happened to him because of the mirage ghost's antics, everything would be in vain.
Furthermore, what would happen if the mirage spirits possessed Fuxi's body? What would occur? What would these mirage spirits do with Fuxi's body?
Could it be, as Lu Bingfang just guessed, that the mirage is trying to find a way out?
She was supposed to open the secret realm and send Acong and the others back, so she couldn't let these mirages interfere halfway through at this crucial moment.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying immediately took out the Yin Sui from Lu Binghuai and carefully put it away.
But Lu Bing's body has been possessed by the mirage ghost. Will it ruin her plans?
Chen Ying was extremely anxious. She couldn't wake up the unconscious Lu Bing. Turning around, she saw that the stable boat had been violently lifted by Wang Xiang and capsized to one side.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Not again!!"
Before the ship full of people who were dizzy and half-dead had recovered, and things had just calmed down, another upheaval occurred.
From the captain and helmsman to the boatmen, everyone was seasick to the point of questioning their existence.
The Taoist priest and the mirror polisher, who were on their first time sailing out to sea, were so distressed that they just wanted to die on the spot.
Clap clap clap!
Clap clap clap!
The bottom of the ship was pierced and broken open by several long knives, and the wooden planks broke one after another, allowing seawater to seep into the cabin immediately!
"A knife! A knife! There's a knife!"
"There are people under the boat!" someone shouted in fear. "The bottom of the boat is breached."
In the chaos, the large ship suddenly tilted, and the people on board, unable to hold on in time, fell flat on their backs, their heads bleeding.
The ship was already struck by the towering waves, and then damaged by external forces, which was like cutting off its lifeline; it would have either capsized or sunk.
Bai Yuan's expression was cold and stern, and a chilling aura emanated from her body. Ice spread from her feet and quickly froze the seawater that had seeped into the cabin along the ship's timbers.
Everyone shivered with immense fear. Before anyone could react, the surrounding temperature had plummeted to freezing. The capsized ship suddenly sank into the solid ice and remained motionless!
Everyone looked up, their faces pale, staring blankly at the white, chilling ice ship, completely dumbfounded.
The white grievance actually froze the seawater beneath the ship, creating an island the size of a reef.
The freezing occurred in an instant, and the wrecked creatures lying on the bottom of the water, seeing the situation was not right, scattered in all directions like arrows.
The incident happened so suddenly that Master Fang, who almost vomited his intestines, was dizzy and disoriented. He didn't even know what had just happened. He crawled out of the window like a shrimp with weak legs. His beard and eyebrows were covered with ice, and his breath turned into mist from the cold. The world in front of him seemed to be turned upside down. He could hardly tell what was going on. Then he saw Bai Yuan and Ting Fengzhi, who were covered in frost, leap off the bow of the boat.
Zhou Yaren lifted her fan, and a fierce wind swept across the calm sea for dozens of feet. The huge wind wheel, like an expanding and widening high wall, firmly confined this area of sea, and the Gu Master's small boat could not find a gap to slip out.
Although Master Fang felt dizzy, it didn't stop him from having doubts: How strange, with such a big commotion, why is there not a single wave on the sea?
The calm sea surface quickly turned into ice beneath Bai Yuan's feet, freezing and expanding like land, leaving Master Fang dumbfounded.
The mirror grinder stumbled out, landing on a frost-covered wooden plank. He rolled twice on the ice, his body becoming as limp as a mushy noodle.
Three to five crew members crawled out of the large ship on all fours. They were all obviously dizzy and their steps were unsteady. In addition, the ice surface was slippery, and they slipped and fell on the ice.
As Bai Yuan took her first step, a long, icy path appeared beneath her feet, leading directly towards the small boat.
"It's slippery on the ice," Bai Yuan said, offering a word of warning.
"Hmm." Zhou Yaren walked very steadily.
Just now, Bai Yuan saw it very clearly: "There was a mirage ghost possessing Lu Bing."
"I'll have to trouble you to peel that mirage off."
"I will be careful and try not to hurt him."
As the two spoke, the icy path beneath their feet seemed to stretch endlessly outwards.
Several monstrous creatures suddenly rose from the sea, raising their long swords from the left and right, and fiercely slashed at the two men.
The splashing water condensed into countless ice beads in front of Bai Yuan, and the cold air suddenly dissipated, freezing the elephant and the man into an ice elephant.
However, a shroud formed from corpse fluid, though possessing sentience and self-awareness, is no different from any handful of seawater in the ocean; it will freeze into ice when it encounters extreme cold.
Zhou Yaren waved her fan, and the swirling wind blades directly cleaved the attacking Wangxiang in half at the waist. The turbid corpse fluid wrapped in human skin fell onto the ice surface and quickly froze into a road surface.
Any creature that tries to approach will be frozen on this icy road, becoming a stepping stone for Bai Yuan.
Chen Ying clearly felt the chill emanating from the air. She turned around in a panic and saw the two people walking towards her with almost no hindrance.
Ah Cong couldn't stop them.
Chen Ying looked up; it was almost completely dark.
A massive, raging wall of wind blocked her path, its churning force so great it could almost tear everything apart. Chen Ying knew perfectly well that the blind man would never let her go.
The strange thing is that she kidnapped Lu Bing, and Lu Bing was the only one who lived up to her expectations, becoming the body of Fuxi that she wanted. However, he was also close friends with this blind man, and then he relentlessly pursued them.
Chen Ying wasn't unperturbed. She hastily tore off a piece of her skirt and wrapped it hastily around her rotting, exposed arm to prevent the endless bleeding.
Wang Xiang pushed the small boat toward the dilapidated and rotten ship. Chen Ying embraced Lu Bing and handed him over to Wang Xiang, then slowly sank to the bottom of the water.
Just as she flipped over and jumped into the water, a fierce wind blade struck from behind, suddenly splitting the small boat apart.
Chen Ying jumped quickly and narrowly avoided the attack; otherwise, she might have been cleaved in two by the blind man. Chen Ying grabbed Wang Xiang and swiftly circled to the other side of the ship.
A moment later, Zhou Yaren heard the sound of water splashing and dripping onto the wooden planks. Zhou Yaren pinpointed the location precisely: "That boat."
At the same time, the ice followed Chen Ying and Wang Xiang, freezing them beneath the large ship and forming a huge ice dam around it, slowly rising three to five inches above the sea surface.
As the two pursuers leaped onto the deck together, Chen Ying knew that she could not escape no matter what.
She and Wang Xiang are like this tranquil sea, unable to cause any waves.
