Chapter 2513: Invisible Opponent

Ye Bufan and the others also noticed the commotion, but from a distance, their perception wasn't particularly deep.

Feng Wuhen and the other person were closest and saw everything clearly, which sent shivers down their spines.

Such a terrifying scene, even for a Void Tempering Stage expert, would inevitably evoke an uncontrollable fear in their hearts.

“Second Uncle, what exactly is that thing? Is it really a ghost?”

“Nonsense. Even if it were a ghost, what then? What kind of ghost could move a Void Tempering Peak expert?”

Feng Boli’s expression was grim. “There must be some Yao Beast we can't see, or some other terrifying existence.

Circulate your Protective True Qi and be more careful. I'll see what it is.”

As he spoke, he immediately swept out his Divine Sense, like mercury spilling, as a Great Ascension Stage expert. Upon reaching the sixth layer, a Cultivator’s Divine Sense was further suppressed. With his powerful Divine Sense, he could only perceive a range of at most a thousand meters.

He carefully looked several times, but everything around was quiet, and he found nothing.

Just as he was hesitating whether to continue forward, Feng Wuhen beside him let out a scream.

Something unknown had already grabbed his shoulder, completely tearing through his Protective True Qi, leaving one arm bloody.

However, the Protective True Qi from before still played a role, otherwise, he might have been completely crippled by that attack.

Feng Boli had also been in a state of tension. Hearing a commotion from his nephew, he swung his sword back and unleashed a strike.

Although he couldn't see anything, he followed the direction and directly struck the space around the shoulder.

This sword strike unleashed sharp Sword Qi and a sword aura over ten feet long, but it ultimately landed on empty space, hitting nothing.

But it still had an effect. Feng Wuhen, who had been lifted several meters, was released and fell to the ground with a thud.

“So terrifying!”

At this moment, his face turned pale. He had just felt himself being grabbed by a huge hand, yet he couldn't see anything at all.

Fortunately, Second Uncle acted in time, otherwise, he might have already ended up like that person before, turned into a pile of minced flesh.

Feng Boli was also startled, his expression extremely grim, because just now he was certain that thing clearly existed, but his Divine Sense couldn't detect it at all.

An enemy that couldn't be seen by the eyes, couldn't be detected by Divine Sense, yet had extremely powerful attack capabilities—how terrifying was such an existence?

This was even more terrifying than Yin Li of the Hidden Gate before. The opponent's stealth technique, after all, had a time limit, and it was easy to expose oneself when attacking.

But this thing in front of them was clearly different and even more powerful in comparison. No wonder the previous Void Tempering Peak Cultivator was so frightened, almost screaming frantically about ghosts. This indeed couldn't be explained by common sense.

And just then, Feng Wuhen let out another cry of alarm, “Second Uncle, this is bad! I’ve been poisoned! That thing has poison!”

It turned out that at this moment, his injured arm felt numb, and the toxin rapidly eroded the Meridians in his body along his blood. His current cultivation could not even exert half of what it was before.

Feng Boli quickly looked over, only to see that the injured shoulder was a bloody mess, and the flowing blood was black, which clearly indicated severe poisoning.

As he was observing, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and he quickly circulated his Protective True Qi with all his might.

At the same time, a 'thud' sound came from behind him. Something unknown had torn through his protective barrier.

Fortunately, as a Great Ascension Middle Stage expert, his Protective True Qi was much stronger than Feng Wuhen's, neutralizing most of the attack.

His injury was not severe in comparison; only a bloody scratch appeared on his back.

But then he also felt something was wrong. A poisonous Qi followed the wound upwards, rapidly spreading into his Bloodline.

“What potent poison!”

At this moment, Feng Boli was truly afraid. The opponent was formless and invisible, completely untraceable. In such a situation, besides passively taking hits, there was no solution whatsoever.

The most crucial thing was that the toxin in his body was constantly spreading, requiring him to divert half of his cultivation to resist it, which was barely enough to control it.

His cultivation was continuously decreasing, and there was an invisible enemy. In this situation, besides running away quickly, he truly couldn't think of any other method.

He grabbed the nearby Feng Wuhen, and both of them turned around and ran again, heading straight towards Ye Bufan and his group.

“My goodness, this guy is really a coward. He ran back again so quickly.”

Jiang Fangzhou gave Feng Wuhen a middle finger.

Although Ye Bufan and the others were some distance away, they saw the situation clearly.

At this moment, Lu Xueman was in no mood to mock the other party. She said nervously, “What exactly is that thing? Why can't we see it, yet it's so terrifying?”

In comparison, her mind was still very clear. For it to be able to make Feng Boli and the other person flee back so quickly, the opponent's formidable strength was imaginable.

Ye Bufan also had a grim expression: “If I'm not mistaken, this should be an 8th-Order Demon Beast, a Ghost Owl.”

Hearing the words “Ghost Owl,” Leng Qingqiu, who had been silent, changed her expression.

“It's actually that thing? Are you sure?”

Jiang Fangzhou looked astonished: “What is that? Is it very powerful?”

Leng Qingqiu said, “When I came out this time, Sect Master specifically warned me that there is a very powerful Yao Beast called a Ghost Owl in the Tongtian Tower.

This thing is extremely formidable. Firstly, it is formless and invisible; Divine Sense cannot detect it at all.

Secondly, its attack power is extremely strong; its two sharp claws can directly tear through one's Protective True Qi.

Thirdly, it carries potent poison; once injured by it, the poison cannot be removed.”

“That powerful? No wonder we can't see anything.”

Jiang Fangzhou was startled, then said, “But that's nothing. Isn't it just invisibility? Even Yin Li from the Hidden Gate was taught a lesson by Ye Dage, let alone a Demonic Beast.”

At this point, he looked at Ye Bufan, “Ye Dage, quickly take out your medicinal powder and give that guy a good show.”

“It's useless.”

Ye Bufan said, “The reason Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Powder worked back then was because Yin Li had no defenses, and the arena had a limited area.

But it's different now. You don't even know if it's coming or not, what's the point of spraying medicinal powder?

If we use it like that, let alone medicinal powder, even flour wouldn't be enough.

Moreover, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We can't just walk around scattering medicinal powder, can we?”

“This…”

Jiang Fangzhou also knew his method wouldn't work and said nervously, “Then what should we do?”

Facing an invisible enemy, he also had no solution.

“Don't worry yet, everyone, let's defend first.”

Ye Bufan said, “First, form a circle, with Qingqiu in the middle, defending above.

The rest of you defend the surroundings, constantly striking out with your weapons. Even if it's invisible, it can't withstand attacks.”

To his command, the others obeyed without question. Nalan Yujia, Lu Xueman, Hu Yaoyao, and Jiang Fangzhou immediately formed a circle.

Leng Qingqiu was in the center, her treasured sword emitting countless sword auras, continuously striking into the Void Realm.

The others also followed suit, constantly brandishing their longswords, defending the space in front of them.

With their defense, let alone being invisible, the opponent couldn't break through in any way.

After all this was done, Hu Yaoyao asked, “Xiao Age, what about you? Why aren't you coming in?”

“We can't always be on the defensive like this. I want to test that guy's strength and see how we can deal with it.”

After speaking, he took a step forward, the golden-glowing Dragon Tooth appearing in his palm, one person and one blade facing forward.
