The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 164: Chapter 163: Urgent

Just now, he had been stealthily attacked by the strange purple snake. Fortunately, he had maintained his water-repelling shield, but even so, his injuries were not light.

To save Protector just now, he had forcefully used his mana, which worsened his wounds.

Upon seeing this, Chen Guanbao’s face, which had just relaxed a little, immediately grew worried again.

Shen Luo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled at Chen Guanbao, and shook his head, indicating that he was not in a critical condition.

“The monster won’t dare to come in temporarily. I need to quickly heal my wounds, or else when it recovers and realizes that it has been fooled, we will be in real danger.” Shen Luo used his blood-stained finger to write this on the wall.

After seeing this message, Chen Guanbao nodded sensibly.

Protector had finally recovered from his daze and picked up his hammer. He began to guard near the entrance of the cave.

Shen Luo didn’t dare to delay, he immediately sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate.

As a water-blue glow arose around him, his mana immediately surged from his dantian, following his meridians to circulate around his body, irrigating his acupoints like opening a water reservoir to pacify his internal injuries.

After starting to cultivate, Shen Luo himself was somewhat surprised, after obtaining twenty meridians, not only had his cultivation efficiency increased significantly, but even his body’s recovery ability had also improved by a lot.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, his injuries had basically stabilized.

The strange purple snake outside seemed truly scared, and it didn’t dare to come in all this while. Shen Luo then took out the half-moon ring from his sleeve.

This magical instrument had only been refined to have one layer of prohibition, but it had demonstrated power beyond his expectations in the previous battle. If he could refine it to have two or three layers of prohibition, dealing with the peak Grain Avoidance Stage purple snake wouldn’t be a problem.

So, he clasped his hands in front of him, controlling his mana; the half-moon ring hung leisurely between his hands.

Shen Luo began to silently recite the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique that Granny Ma had taught him, following the instructions to gradually attack the second layer of prohibition on the half-moon ring.

About half a moment later, a faint tremor sounded from the half-moon ring hanging in front of Shen Luo. As the charm patterns flashed, a large amount of silver moonlight was projected out, illuminating the whole cave like daylight.

He then clapped his hands together, and the dispersed silver light immediately flew back into the half-moon ring. The second layer of prohibition was successfully refined.

Chen Guanbao watched this scene with admiration in his eyes, mixed with a hint of longing.

Shen Luo slightly concentrated his mind, then continued to silently recite the Wealth Technique.

Given his understanding and familiarity of the Wealth Technique, it would only take him half a moment to refine the third layer of prohibition.

However, at this moment, Shen Luo’s expression subtly changed, then the Shrimp Soldier Protector standing guard at the mouth of the passageway shouted:

“Beware, the snake demon is back!”

“What’s meant to come will always find a way.” Shen Luo sighed and stood up.

Chen Guanbao immediately ran towards the back and hid behind a stone wall inside the cave, watching the passageway nervously with his wide, black eyes.

“Shameless humans, you really were deceiving me, the dignified Mirage Snake. Get out here!” A harsh voice filled with anger from a man echoed from the passageway.

Immediately after, a foul wind began to howl from the passageway, mixed with the bones and rocks from the passage flying out. The noise was as loud as thunder and echoed throughout the cave.

Unfazed, Shen Luo raised his hand and with a gesture, the glowing half-moon ring started to tremble violently, emitting a resonant “clang” sound. After a quick rotation, it shot towards the passageway.

The passageway was instantly filled with dancing silver shadows. Numerous silver moonlight figures crisscrossed, slashing out sharp traces in the void, shattering the foul wind and wave.

After breaking through the waves, the half-moon ring did not stop but continued to pursue in the direction of the cave’s entrance.

A moment later, a loud collision sound echoed from the passageway.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo beckoned, and the half-moon ring flew back with a “clang” and circled around his palm for a while before gradually calming down.

“What a pity, if I had half a moment more to complete the third prohibition’s refinement, I would definitely have caught it.” Shen Luo looked at the half-moon ring in his palm and said somewhat regretfully.

“The cave’s passageway is narrow and given the suspicious nature of the snake demon, it wouldn’t dare to rashly enter. If it only attacks from afar, I can cover for you for half a moment.” Zhui Tou suddenly said in a lowered voice.

“In that case, I’ll leave it to you, Daoist Zhui Tou.” Hearing this, Shen Luo’s eyes brightened.

Zhui Tou nodded, held his copper hammer horizontally, and blocked the entrance of the passageway. @@novelbin@@

After instructing Chen Guanbao not to approach the entrance, Shen Luo sat down with his legs crossed again, immersing himself in refining the third prohibition.

Indeed, after being pushed back by Shen Luo’s attack just now, the mirage snake did not dare to hastily come in again. It continued to wield its demon power, using flying sands and rolling stones as distant attacks towards the interior of the cave.

Zhui Tou stood at the entrance, fending off attacks left and right with his copper hammer. Though somewhat overwhelmed, he managed to block most of them.

At first, Shen Luo could hear the collision sounds and could not fully concentrate on the refinement. But seeing Zhui Tou handling the situation with ease, he gradually relaxed and focused on his refinement.

As time trickled away, the patience of the mirage snake seemed to be rapidly wearing thin, its attacks becoming fiercer. Zhui Tou was forced to retreat time and again, suffering some injuries, but resolutely returned to the entrance each time.

His mana was also constantly depleting, and his endurance was almost at its limit.

But just then, a deafening rumble echoed from the passageway, and a sound wave far exceeding the previous ones rolled in. Hearing this, Zhui Tou knew that something was wrong. He glanced back at Shen Luo, who was still immersed in his refinement, and clenched his teeth to face the onslaught once more.

Listening to the thunderous roars, Chen Guanbao covered his ears in fear, but he still couldn’t help looking towards the entrance.

An enormous water wave filled the entire passageway, carrying an overwhelming force and surged in crazily.

Seeing that its continuous attacks weren’t successful, the snake demon actually tried to fill the cave with lake water, sealing Shen Luo and the rest inside.

Upon seeing this, Zhui Tou gave a shout and swung his copper hammer with both hands towards the entrance. A layer of aqua glow immediately lit up on the surface of the copper hammer, forming an invisible light curtain and barely blocking the entrance.

The water wave violently struck the light curtain, forcing Zhui Tou to step back. Water immediately started to gush in from the passageway, washing over Zhui Tou.

Even though the wave force was immense, Zhui Tou didn’t want to give up. He tightly held the copper hammer and step by step, forced the water wave back to the passageway, sealing it once again.

Seeing this, Chen Guanbao’s eyes showed a trace of joy, and looking at the fierce mirage snake, he no longer felt that frightened.

However, before they could stabilize, another unexpected change occurred!
