To Ye Feng's horror, an irresistible, terrifying force locked both of them firmly within the void.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Feng fully unleashed the power of his ghost hand!
"Abyssal Ghost!!"
Boom!
In an instant, black smoke enveloped Ye Feng's face, transforming him into something resembling a malevolent fiend.
Terrifying heavenly flame surged across the void, erupting with the searing might inherent to its nature. The scorching fire burned the void until it warped relentlessly, causing the surrounding space to loosen ever so slightly.
Yet, his body rigid, Ye Feng knew all too well...
If this was all he had, they would never escape!
He could even feel the disdain and contempt rolling off the black-robed figure.
Ye Feng's entire right arm turned pitch-black, warped ghostly qi billowing wildly, yet he still could not shatter the spatial lock encasing them.
Beside him, Meng Wanshu's eyes flickered slightly. A frightful frost power froze the void for a hundred zhang around them, yet even with their combined strength, the surrounding space did not budge in the slightest.
Both understood that their opponent was definitely not someone who had merely just stepped into the Body Integration Realm. This was an old monster who had lived for heaven knew how many years!
The power binding the space came entirely from that Body Integration Realm figure in black robes.
Yet the moment space loosened under Ye Feng's desperate effort, a sharp glint flashed through the young woman's eyes!
Buzz!
Suddenly, an incomparable, overwhelming pressure erupted from Meng Wanshu's body, and the surrounding ice primal energy ran completely berserk!
Ye Feng felt his heart jolt at the sight, instantly realizing what she was about to do.
Yet in the face of mortal peril, he did not say a word to stop her.
Riiip!
The locked space beside Meng Wanshu was torn open from within by an external force, ripped into a long fissure!
A woman who looked ninety percent identical to Meng Wanshu stepped out from the rift!
Ye Feng's pupils shrank at the sight, and he could not help but marvel inwardly, *Is this Sister-in-law's void avatar? What astonishing pressure!!*
The moment Meng Wanshu's void avatar appeared, the giant finger descending overhead accelerated noticeably!
A cold snort escaped the black-robed figure. Clearly, the emergence of Meng Wanshu's void avatar made even her sense a hint of danger.
Meng Wanshu was already formidable in the Void Refining Realm. If she seized this moment to break through to the Body Integration Realm...
Though the robed figure did not believe the young woman could survive the perils of a Body Integration heavenly tribulation right now, she was, after all, the daughter of the Shenbao Domain Lord. She was bound to carry life-saving treasures.
If she actually succeeded in her breakthrough, the robed figure herself might be plunged into danger.
Within a breath, the colossal finger was right before their eyes!
The suffocating pressure left Ye Feng scarcely able to breathe; even the fires of his Yinming Profound Flame were forcibly snuffed out, and the power of the Abyssal Ghost was heavily suppressed!
Just as Meng Wanshu gritted her teeth, preparing to force a breakthrough, a man's furious roar suddenly rang out!
"Don't you dare harm my daughter!!"
The black-robed figure was shocked!
Ye Feng noticed that her shock was genuinely profound...
Her body trembled slightly, and she whipped her head toward the distant void beside her.
A majestic, condensed sword beam flashed through the air, traversing ten thousand zhang of emptiness in a single blink to manifest directly between the two sides.
It was so fast that Ye Feng could only make out a faint blur of sword light.
Boom!
The power locking the space vanished instantly as a terrifying explosion erupted.
Ye Feng felt an immense force sweep over him. The shockwave slammed into his chest like a frenzied primeval beast.
Pfft!
His body shot backward uncontrollably, smashing straight through every building and peak in his path.
Meng Wanshu and her void avatar were sent flying as well, yet a shimmering layer of fluorescent light shielded them, absorbing all the shockwaves to ensure she did not suffer the slightest harm.
Catching this from the corner of his eye, Ye Feng felt terribly aggrieved.
Old Meng was playing favorites far too blatantly...
Thud!
Ye Feng's body crashed to the earth, smashing a deep crater into the ground.
Seven or eight of his ribs snapped. Had he not done everything in his power to protect his heart, meridians, and internal organs, the broken bones would have pierced straight through his heart and lungs.
He looked up to see Meng Jiangchu clad in white robes, his garments snapping in the wind.
With a wave of his hand, several magic treasures shot into the sky. In an instant, dazzling golden patterns covered the void!
A terrifying, diamond-shaped barrier formed in a flash, trapping only Meng Jiangchu and the black-robed figure within.
The black-robed figure spoke, her voice clear, cold, and arrogant—it was a woman!
"Until we meet again."
As her words fell, the woman's mask melted into a puddle of bloody water, and her figure warped, preparing to depart.
Meng Jiangchu's expression changed abruptly, realizing her method could completely bypass the sealing barrier he had laid down!
Witnessing the tragic devastation of the Xiao clan, fury burned hot within Meng Jiangchu. He roared, clutching at the empty void with one hand.
The woman's distorted silhouette paused slightly!
Taking three steps, Meng Jiangchu closed in right before her. The woman raised her hand, conjuring a surge of black waves that slapped toward him!
A flash of light gleamed from the storage ring on Meng Jiangchu's finger, and an ornate, golden-inlaid jade flask manifested!
"Devour!"
Snap!
The lid opened, and the bizarre black waves were sucked entirely into the jade flask.
At the same time, Meng Jiangchu's sword shifted through successive trajectories, vanishing into thin air before the woman's eyes.
When he reappeared, he was barely three feet in front of her, his sword beam flashing across her crimson mask.
Slash!
Crack!
A slit opened across the woman's mask, and the lower half shattered into pieces!
Beneath it lay fair skin and crimson lips.
Her facial contours were exceptionally beautiful, and the slender neck beneath her jaw was remarkably smooth.
Her lips curled down slightly, and she thrust a palm toward Meng Jiangchu's chest, bizarre black primal energy squirming frantically.
Meng Jiangchu's heart tightened. This strike filled him with an alarming sense of impending doom!
Bang! The ring on his left index finger exploded.
With that sound, Meng Jiangchu's figure shot back a hundred zhang through thin air.
The woman's palm missed its mark, its terrifying ten-zhang imprint slamming violently into the barrier instead.
The golden barrier trembled wildly before emitting a strained crack.
And just like that, the woman vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes.
Meng Jiangchu frowned deeply, closing his eyes to sense the spatial ripples in the surroundings, but found not a single trace.
Helpless, he could only stow his longsword, turn around, and walk to Meng Wanshu's side, asking with deep concern, "Wanshu, how are you? Are you hurt?"
"Silly girl! Use the things I gave you when you need them! If something happened to you, what would I do?"
"How would I face your mother?"
"Trying to merge with your void avatar so rashly—were you even prepared?! Foolish! Reckless!"
Lying in the crater, Ye Feng grimaced in pain, feeling even more bitter as he listened to the man's scolding.
From the looks of it, Old Meng wasn't just henpecked—he was completely wrapped around his daughter's finger too...
