The Lord of Void and Real

Tian Tiesheng’s form became unstable and vision was obscured. He only realized when the talisman fork reached his chest, that it was too late to dodge.

In the urgency, his body was covered in a surge of green light. His chest area sprouted out green fur, which interwove in an instant, forming a hazy green barrier to cover his vital parts.

The surface of the talisman fork shone with a brilliant grey color. Runes flashed on its surface, and it enlarged three to four times in an instant.

With a “bang” sound, the green barrier formed from Tian Tiesheng’s green fur was punctured by the white talisman fork as if it were made of paper, directly striking Tian Tiesheng’s chest. The green glow was shattered and fragmented.

With a “spurt” sound, the talisman fork, stained with fresh blood, pierced through his back, leaving a bloody hole as large as a bowl.

Tian Tiesheng’s struggling body suddenly stopped, the light in his eyes quickly dimming. He was carried by the water ball, spinning ceaselessly.

Shen Luo knew about his powerful recovery ability and dared not let his guard down. With his hands forming a rotating sign, the white light on the talisman fork brightened, erupting a wave of extreme cold.

With a “crack” sound, the water ball enveloping Tian Tiesheng was instantly frozen, turning into a huge ice ball floating on the surface of the river.

Tian Tiesheng was frozen inside the ice ball in a twisted posture, motionless.

Little Gui had returned to its initial size, its head also peeking out, only its mouth was lined with blood and its eyelids drooped, looking a bit weak.

Shen Luo hastily soothed Little Gui through a telepathic link and put his palm on its shell, channeling mana into its body.

With the nourishment of mana, Little Gui’s spirits slightly picked up, as it affectionately rubbed its head against Shen Luo’s body, seemingly expressing gratitude.

“Little Gui, what was that ability you used just now to break his arms?” Shen Luo stroked Little Gui’s head and asked.

Little Gui proudly made a light sound and sent through a broken, telepathic message. It seemed to suggest that it was its innate ability. As long as the force doesn’t exceed its range, its shell can absorb and reflect it back with twice the power.

The divine power, however, drained substantial mana and it could not perform it on its own, so it needed collaboration with Shen Luo.

Hearing this, Shen Luo was overjoyed.

This shell reflection divine ability has both offensive and defensive qualities and catches enemies by surprise, making it much more valuable than its water arrow attack.

He estimated that Tian Tiesheng’s last attack had the power close to the Qi Refining Late Stage. Little Gui, at the early stage of Qi Refining, reflected this attack back and broke his arms. If Little Gui’s cultivation level could be increased, it might even withstand the attack of the Grain Avoidance Stage.

Shen Luo wanted to learn more about Little Gui’s innate ability, but as they weren’t far from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, this wasn’t the place to stay long. Encouraging Little Gui with a few words, he sent it away with a technique.

His gaze returned to the ice sphere floating not far away on the river. As he prepared to walk over, his mind suddenly spun and felt a wave of exhaustion.

The technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits consumes quite a lot of mana, and half of his mana was just drained by Little Gui. His own mana was now at rock-bottom.

Shen Luo took a deep breath, mustering all his energy, and approached the ice sphere. He planned to hurriedly tidy up the scene that could reveal traces of his divine power and then leave immediately.

Just at this moment, the sound of piercing the air resonated, and a red glow shot over from the distance, arriving in front of him in an instant.

“Could this be pursuers?”

Shen Luo gasped, hardly sparing a glance at the red light before he waved a rune in his hand, which glowed brightly, prepared to counterattack while desperately planning his escape.

However, the red light didn’t attack him, but flew to an ice ball not far away. Like a needle piercing rotten wood, it easily entered it and with a “puff”, it pierced Tian Tiesheng’s head.

Only after that did the red light disperse, revealing its true form, a small Bronze Money Sword.

“What is this…” Shen Luo was startled.

“Eeeaaahhh…”

A piercing scream suddenly flowed from the ice ball. It drilled into one’s ears like countless little needles, causing a hum in Shen Luo’s head. It was a black human-shaped shadow coming out of Tian Tiesheng, struggling violently while incessantly screaming.

This black shadow’s head was stabbed by the Bronze Money Sword, as if it were nailed there, regardless of how hard it struggled, it was unable to escape.

In pain, Shen Luo hastily retreated a few steps, his eyes full of amazement.

He didn’t expect that such a creature was lurking inside Tian Tiesheng.

“This monster is known as a Corpse Shadow Ghost. While its strength isn’t outstanding, it can stealthily cling to living humans, eroding their bodies and covertly turning them into zombies. Simply destroying the body it inhabits cannot completely kill it, it can easily switch hosts. If you had just moved two steps closer, this monster would have taken the chance to possess you. ” Bai Xiaotian, in a crisp voice, appeared in the distance. After a few leaps, he was standing nearby.

Bai Xiaotian was covered in blood, making it clear that he had recently been in a fierce battle. But given his bearable condition, one could not sure if the blood on him was his own or someone else’s.

Having seen Bai Xiaotian, Shen Luo remembered something and subconsciously took a few steps back, cautiously looking at Bai Xiaotian.

“Junior Brother Shen, are you okay?” Bai Xiaotian was taken aback by Shen Luo’s wariness.

“How can you prove your identity?” Shen Luo asked cautiously.

After seeing so many strange things today, both Gu Hualing and Tian Tiesheng had turned into enemies, and both had changed forms. He did not dare to trust anyone easily.

“Oh, Junior Brother Shen, are you worrying about me being an imposter? Well then, let me remind you of some past events. We joined the Sect around the same time, we first met at Lingguan Hall, the next day, we sneaked off to the back hill and finished off three big jars of wine. On the third day … ” Bai Xiaotian mentioned many past secrets between them.

Shen Luo listened to all these, his expression relaxed slightly, but the wariness in his eyes persisted, and he nonetheless gradually retreated.

“Even if you are Bai Xiaotian, how did you escape the grey light curtain enveloping Qinghua Mountain right now?” Shen Luo paused, and continued to question.

“Speaking of it, I need to thank you, Junior Brother Shen. I was fighting with a demon in the Sect Main Hall when I saw you and Senior Brother Tian descending the mountain from afar. I decided to follow you. Finally, with the help of the Pavilion Master, I managed to escape. Unfortunately, the Pavilion Master’s fate is unknown now!” Bai Xiaotian spoke somberly.

Shen Luo carefully examined Bai Xiaotian’s story and finding no inconsistencies, finally nodded in relief.

“We met many powerful demons today. Some of them can change their appearance, so I had to be careful. I hope Brother Bai does not mind.” Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.

“No matter, now that demons have invaded the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, these demonic beings are skilled with illusion. It’s only right to be cautious,” Bai Xiaotian shook his head, and then glared at the black shadow, killing intent emerging in his eyes. He pointed his Sword technique.

The Bronze Money Sword shone with a vibrant red light. Several red sword beams rose from the sword body, stabbed into the black shadow, and suddenly twisted.

The black shadow was immediately torn into several pieces and turned into wisps of black Qi, floating away. The piercing screams abruptly stopped.
