The Lord of Void and Real

91  Chapter 90: Fighting Demons

Seeing that it had stopped moving completely, Shen Luo finally let out a breath of relief, leaning against the pillar and raising his hand to check. Only to find that his palm was entirely black, and the runes that had been drawn on it had disappeared.

He turned his head to look at the other side, seeing the Rat Monster under the black net, it had been hacked into a heap of meat sauce by the guards.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sinister voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"A few mere mortals, plus a novice cultivator, dare to run wild on my territory and even killed my trusted subordinate. You will all die."

The last word "die" was dragged out extremely long, as if filled with extreme resentment.

Shen Luo's expression tightened and he quickly looked in that direction.

A pale figure stepped over the threshold, holding a bloody human head in his hand. Judging by the appearance, it was the head of the Chamber of Commerce Manager who had fled the hall earlier.

The break at the root of the neck was uneven, unlike a cut from a weapon, but rather like it had been forcibly ripped off by someone.

This brutally terrifying scene truly frightened the guards in the hall, causing them to involuntarily back away.

The pale figure had two pointed ears on top of his head. Looking at his face, one could vaguely discern the likeness of a young man, but most of his face was covered by messy hanging yellow hair, making it difficult to see clearly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With a casual toss, the severed head fell to the ground, rolling right to Shen Luo's feet.

"That Immortal Master, if we work together, maybe there's still a chance." Unlike before when facing the Rat Monster, the dark-faced youth seemed a bit scared, speaking with a trembling voice.

"That Immortal Master, if we work together, maybe there's still a chance." Unlike before when facing the Rat Monster, the dark-faced youth seemed a bit scared, speaking with a trembling voice.

Shen Luo didn't answer. He just stared at the silhouette in front of him, bringing his hands together inside his sleeves.

"Foolishly hoping for a last-ditch effort? What a delusion!" The demon with the appearance of a young man spoke indifferently.

When he opened his mouth, one could vaguely see a full set of sharp, white teeth. Yet, his voice had regained its calmness, impossible to ascertain any emotional changes.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the light inside the hall suddenly dimmed. The previously desolate scene instantly transformed. The pillars and walls of the hall disappeared, replaced by rugged, protruding boulders, turning into a gloomy cave.

Shen Luo looked down and was startled to find that beneath his feet, where broken bricks and dry grass once lied, was now covered in a layer of white human and animal bones. The wooden palace door had also turned into a monstrous black iron gate.

The iron gate was covered in sharp spikes, with horrifyingly twisted corpses skewered on them, their faces of death were tragic.

Inside the cave, only the strange-looking three-headed statue remained in its original form.

"What kind of power is this?" Seeing this, Shen Luo felt a chill.

To deal with the zombie just now, he had expended five or six Small Thunder Talismans in one breath, using up more than half of his already limited mana. The demon in front of him, whose details were still unknown, was definitely far stronger than the previous Rat Monster and zombie.

"Come forth and pay with your lives!" The young demon shouted lowly, casually swinging his arm.

Shen Luo's heart beat ferociously.

He faintly heard some subtle sounds in the void, but his eyes couldn't see anything.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded!

The several guards that were a little far from him had no defense at all. Their heads fell off like ripe fruits on a tree, all cleanly cut off by something unseen.

Only the dark-faced youth who was leading had a charm suddenly light up with a white light on his arm-guard, transforming into a slightly blurred small shield shadow that blocked front of him.

However, in an instant, the small shield shadow broke into two pieces and dispersed. The dark-faced youth barely escaped with his life.

In his panic, Shen Luo hurriedly began to draw the Exorcism Talisman within his sleeve, but before he could finish, he heard a faint wind sound suddenly approaching. He didn't even have a chance to dodge!

At the critical moment, a thin water rope condensed out from the side, wrapped around Shen Luo's waist and abruptly pulled him to the side. The rugged stone pillar behind him made a loud noise, and a deep crack directly appeared on its surface.

Shen Luo looked at the water rope around his waist, which was only as thick as his little finger, and sighed in relief.

Just now, in his panic, an idea flashed through his mind. Unconsciously, he used the Water Control Technique, hurriedly extracting the water from the accumulated puddle in the corner of the great hall and condensing it into a water rope which saved his life.

But the young monster's method was so strange that he didn't have time to draw another exorcism charm. With a sudden shake of both sleeves, the water rope immediately shot up, and he scattered it with one palm, splashing it in all directions.

Countless tiny water droplets immediately scattered in all directions. Not all fell to the ground, but many hung in the air, some even formed a line, suspended as if about to drip.

Shen Luo looked intently and finally saw that those water droplets were strung together by surprisingly long hairs that shot out from the young monster. It turned out that the culprit responsible for killing all the guards was this very thing.

The hair was extremely thin and almost transparent. Without the water droplets hanging on it, it would be very hard to discern with the naked eye.

All the emitted hairs immediately retracted and converged together in the air, turning into two pale yellow giant blades, each slashing down towards Shen Luo and the dark-faced youth.

Shen Luo didn't have any weapons at hand, so he could only swiftly bring both hands together in front of him, controlling with all his might the scattered water droplets to form a round water shield two feet in radius, and struck towards the falling giant blade.

There was a dull "peng" sound.

The water shield exploded directly, splattering countless water droplets, but it could not stop the giant blade at all.

Shen Luo could only roll away to the side. But in his heart, he felt somewhat desperate. Given the monster's terrifying ability, even if he could resurrect again, there's no chance of survival.

The dark-faced youth on the other side, although he had a longsword in his hand, he had no intention to confront the giant blade. He was only desperately dodging while shouting:

"Commander Wu, save me!"

"Useless..." A sighed sound came from nowhere.

Fire instantly appeared!

Two three-foot-long short spears wrapped in flames suddenly shot out from the nearby void. "Dang"! They hit and knocked off the giant blade, drew an arc in mid-air, and fell back to the side of the dark-faced youth.

From the void near his body, ripples like the surface of water came, and a tall-armored soldier emerged. The two short spears just fell steadily into the quiver on his back, side by side with the other five short spears, like a peacock spreading its tail.

Shen Luo retreated to a corner and looked over, he saw the man's armor was dark black, the short spears on his back shone brightly, he had a square face with thick, drooping eyebrows, short whiskers and large ears, and a wide mouth. Despite this, he wore an expression of immense worry.
