He didn't look back, but instead drew his saber and slashed forward.
Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled. She was clearly behind him, so why was he slashing forward?
Suddenly, a dark shadow gate appeared before the demon commander. In an instant, the demon commander raised his saber and leaped into the shadow gate, his figure disappearing.
At the same time, behind Fang Xiaoyu, a shadow gate appeared. The demon commander emerged from it, his saber precisely descending.
Fang Xiaoyu had not expected an enemy to suddenly appear behind her. Caught off guard, she was struck on the back by a saber, spitting blood and lunging forward.
The heavily injured demon commander did not pursue, but instead focused on healing, as he clearly sensed that where Fang Xiaoyu lunged, there was one of his companions.
Fang Xiaoyu had just stabilized herself in the storm when a large hand suddenly appeared to her right, reaching out to grab her.
Fang Xiaoyu was greatly alarmed and immediately transformed into a hurricane. Using the storm's rotation, she narrowly dodged the attack.
Fang Xiaoyu dared not reveal her form easily, transforming into a hurricane for almost the entire duration, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Wan Lei was not faring well. Shortly after the battle began, he was surrounded by the demon commanders. Initially, only three demon commanders had found him, but immediately other demon commanders flew over.
Although Fang Xiaoyu also revealed her form, this time the demon commanders' target was to kill Wan Lei!
More than a dozen demon commanders surrounded Wan Lei, constantly unleashing divine abilities. Even with Wan Lei's enhanced physique through fire and lightning, he could not withstand the group attack from so many demon commanders.
The last to arrive were Qiong Ku and Qiong Xin.
Their participation made the already struggling Wan Lei's situation even worse.
Fang Xiaoyu, in the storm, saw this and gnashed her teeth in distress.
She took out three cluster bombs and hurled them forward without hesitation.
The three cluster bombs, amidst the howling wind, flew towards the demon commanders surrounding Wan Lei from three directions.
Two of them exploded within the group of demon commanders, the cluster blast pulling them together. The third was blocked by Qiong Ku and Qiong Xin.
Wan Lei, taking advantage of the chaos in the enemy formation, unleashed his lightning escape and immediately broke out of the encirclement.
Following that, Wan Lei, like Fang Xiaoyu, transformed into lightning and moved within the storm.
They had thought that by not revealing their forms, they could contend with the enemy, as long as an hour and a half passed. However, Qiong Ku's strength still exceeded their expectations.
Qiong Ku saw that both of them were invisible, and the storm was intensifying, making them uncomfortable under its suppression. He walked alone into the eye of the storm. Then, his hands moved rapidly, and streams of light appeared from his hands.
Moments later, Qiong Ku let out a roar and slapped the ground. The streams of light instantly formed a complex rune on the ground, and then, a more intense shockwave erupted from the eye of the storm.
BOOM!!!
The shockwave spread rapidly in all directions, impacting the storm.
This terrifying storm could not withstand the even more terrifying shockwave and was immediately blown apart like a rotten tree.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were also blown out by the shockwave, falling heavily to the ground.
"We really can't win, let's run!"
Wan Lei said quickly to Fang Xiaoyu.
The enemy's combat power was too terrifying, and they knew all their methods. With the enemy knowing them inside out and having a crushing advantage in combat power, no matter how exceptional Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were, they had no chance of winning.
This battle, which had only started for more than ten minutes, had already ended in their complete defeat.
Information asymmetry and a vast disparity in combat power left them with no choice but to flee.
Of course, the two of them did not flee hand in hand, but each fled in their own direction.
Fang Xiaoyu transformed into a hurricane and flew rapidly forward, while Wan Lei transformed into lightning and went underground, his escape direction the same as Fang Xiaoyu's.
The storm in the sky dissipated, and dust swirled everywhere, but the enemy was nowhere to be seen. However, the demon commanders were not worried at all.
"You can't escape. To kill you this time, this commander has used all his hidden tricks!"
Qiong Ku sneered, his demonic energy surging within him. As he closed his eyes and chanted, the demonic energy transformed into specter-like fierce ghosts, swiftly pursuing the direction where Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu had fled.
The demon commanders followed closely behind.
After transforming into hurricanes and lightning, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's speed was somewhat faster than before, but no matter how fast, they were only cultivators at the Mahayana stage. They could never compare to the peak demon commanders like Qiong Ku and Qiong Xin.
The many fierce ghosts shrieked as they chased. This escape and pursuit continued as time ticked by.
The Ghost Immortal Secret Realm seemed to have no end. No matter how far they flew, they couldn't reach the end. The scenery around them was monotonous and tedious. In a daze, they didn't even know if they were moving.
Just as Fang Xiaoyu, transformed into a hurricane, was moving rapidly, a shadow gate suddenly appeared before her.
The demon commander emerged from it with a cold smile, then unleashed a palm strike.
The powerful demonic energy directly blasted Fang Xiaoyu out of her hurricane form, and the demon commander behind her immediately swarmed forward, encircling and attacking Fang Xiaoyu.
Wan Lei, who had been closely monitoring Fang Xiaoyu's situation, saw this and immediately broke out of the ground, directly attacking from below into the center of the battlefield.
However, his speed was still a step too slow.
Fang Xiaoyu was very strong, but her defense was definitely not as strong as Wan Lei's. She only had her wind body and protection from an unknown armor from the immortal realm. She lacked the various rune enhancements and lightning protection that Wan Lei possessed.
The demon commanders launched fierce attacks at Fang Xiaoyu, especially Qiong Ku, whose surrounding demonic energy specters immediately submerged Fang Xiaoyu.
All sorts of divine abilities were unreservedly unleashed towards the girl in the center. In just this moment, Fang Xiaoyu had suffered an attack volume that could kill a tribulation-transcending expert ten times over.
Wan Lei rushed to the center of the battlefield, lightning erupting and repelling the demon commanders. He pulled Fang Xiaoyu from the group of specters and ascended into the sky.
Fang Xiaoyu had already been severely injured by the demons. If Wan Lei had been a moment later, she might have died.
Wan Lei, while channeling wood lightning into Fang Xiaoyu to heal her, simultaneously used wind-calling and blood demon techniques to resist the demon commanders behind them.
However, both of these were consumption-based divine abilities and could not inflict effective damage on the demon commanders in a short period.
Wan Lei pulled Fang Xiaoyu, continuing their escape.
But if both of them, while transformed into hurricanes and lightning, could be caught up to, how could one of them, who was now severely injured, not be?
Not long after, they were pursued by the enemy again.
This time, the enemy's torrential divine ability attacks arrived first.
