The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 166: Chapter 164: Moon Ring Slaying Demon

Inside the entrance of the passage, a yellow light suddenly lit up, and a slender figure suddenly leaped out from the water waves, slapping a palm on the Copper Hammer Light Curtain.

Zhui Tou felt a numbness in his hands, and the light curtain on the copper hammer burst with a bang. The surging water waves swept across and reversed against the hammer, heavily hitting his chest.

After a muffled sound of “bang”, Zhui Tou’s figure flew backward and landed heavily on the ground.

A large amount of lake water rushed in instantly, flooding half of the cave, and Chen Guanbao was also rushed to the corner by the water waves, hitting, and fainting.

Only to see the Mirage Snake suddenly swam from the water, its body suddenly raised high from the water. As its mouth opened, a bloody crack immediately appeared on the corners of its mouth, and its lower jaw and upper jaw opened to an extremely exaggerated extent.

There were four sharp venomous fangs in the bloody mouth, shining with a luminous green light, and a trembling snake letter among them, bitten down towards Shen Luo’s head.

However, at this moment, Shen Luo’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the moon ring held by both hands suddenly flashed, shooting diagonally upward.

The Mirage Snake’s pupils shrank, and it saw a piece of silver moonlight blossom before its eyes.

Realizing something was wrong, its boneless upper body immediately retracted, and a purple snake tail swept across instantly, like a steel knife slashing horizontally, tearing the silver moonlight apart.

“Huh…” The Mirage Snake uttered a surprised sound.

The moonlight that just appeared was actually a phantom, it did not hit a real object, yet it still felt a burst of chill on its snake tail, and frost had actually frozen on it.

Just as it was about to shake off the frost, its vision suddenly blurred. It saw a figure rushing towards it with a single hand behind its back and the other slapping towards its chest.

The Mirage Snake had no time to think about anything else. It sucked in its chest and opened its mouth to spit forward.

From its throat, a strong burst of a foul-smelling dark purple liquid gushed out and poured onto Shen Luo’s head.

Shen Luo was too close to avoid it, he immediately retracted his palm, performed a Water Repelling Technique, and a blue light immediately shone from his body, wrapping him entirely.

The foul-smelling liquid fell on the light curtain condensed by the Water Repelling Technique, causing a hissing noise, and immediately emitted plumes of white smoke.

Shen Luo retreated, a wave rippled on the surface of the light curtain on his body, and the liquid was scattered.

As the Mirage Snake fell back into the water, it was about to retreat again when there was a strange noise in the accumulated water below. A big copper hammer suddenly broke the water’s surface and hit right at its back.

Its expression suddenly changed, its body twisted unbelievably backward, and two beams of purple light shot out from its bizarre eyes, hitting the copper hammer.

In an instant, the original metallic gloss of the copper hammer disappeared, and as the purple light spread, its color turned to grayish-white, and it had shockingly turned into stone.

Zhui Tou was startled, he quickly dropped the copper hammer and retreated rapidly.

The Mirage Snake, however, did not intend to let him go. It swam forward to catch up, and its eyes lit up with purple light again.

At this moment, Shen Luo uttered a soft cry, “It’s done”. The palm that had been hidden behind his back lit up brightly, as if a full moon had risen, illuminating the entire cave instantly.

He channeled his mana and swung forward suddenly. The Half Moon Wheel, which had just been refined with three prohibitions, whizzed out, turning into hundreds of silver moonlight shadows, shooting towards the Mirage Snake.

The Mirage Snake knew something was wrong, it had already turned back, and the purple light in its eyes also lit up brightly.

However, compared to the silver moonlight, the strange light in its pupils was as weak as the glow of fireflies, and it was swallowed by the silver light shadow at the instant it shot out.

The next moment, a soft sound of “puff” came.

A terrible scream came from the mouth of the Mirage Snake and the silver light shining in the cave gradually dimmed.

Zhui Tou looked tense, silently gazing at the Mirage Snake, and to his surprise, he discovered that its body was encased in a layer of shallow blue ice crystals with obvious bulging eyes, indicating death.

Atop its forehead, there was a half-moon silver ring, deeply embedded into its skull.

Shen Luo beckoned, and the half-moon ring immediately spun out, returning to his hand, whereas the body of the Mirage Snake shattered with a “crack”, splitting into dozens of pieces.

After Shen Luo stored away the half-moon ring, he did not look at the monster’s snake again. Instead, he turned and walked to a corner, picking up Chen Guanbao who was bobbing on the water surface.

He raised his palm to gently pat his back, and a stream of Yang Gang Qi was slowly channeled into his body.

Chen Guanbao let out a retching sound, spewing a large amount of lake water from his mouth, before slowly regaining consciousness.

“Daoist friend Zhui Tou, this time thanks to your help, even though we lost a weapon, I hope the inner Dans of these two monster snakes might be of use to you. Please take them.” Shen Luo, holding Chen Guanbao horizontally in his arms, said.

Upon hearing this, Zhui Tou was slightly surprised, but a trace of happiness quickly flashed in his eyes, as he responded, “Hehe, then I won’t be polite. This time, it seems I wasn’t used in vain by you.”

After Shen Luo used his magic to send Zhui Tou away, he carried the somewhat sick Chen Guanbao out of the cave, and went straight to Longevity Village.

…

At this moment, in Evening, dozens of villagers had gathered inside the gate of Longevity Village. Some were whispering, some were sighing, and some were looking fretful.

There were a few women clustered around an old woman with white hair, all of whom had remorseful expressions on their faces.@@novelbin@@

“Granny Ma, asking the Immortal Master to save a life might be a bit selfish…” a dark-skinned woman couldn’t help but remark.

“If the Immortal Master dies, who will be able to save us when the monster comes again?” another person sighed with sorrow.

“It’s over, completely over…”

Sounds of mourning rose from all over the village, and the heavy atmosphere of despair that had just started to improve now loomed once again.

Granny Ma was encircled in the center, listening to these accusatory words. Her face was calm as still water, not showing any emotion or refuting anyone. She only stared straight ahead towards the direction outside the village.

Ying Luo watched this scene from the side, her brows furrowed in helplessness despite her beauty.

Just then, someone on the village wall suddenly cried out, “The Immortal Master is back!”

At first, the villagers were silent, but then a cheer erupted.

“How many people?” Granny Ma, whose face had been tense all along, showed a trace of change in her expression and asked.

Ying Luo couldn’t resist stomping her foot, as she leaped onto the village wall.

She caught sight of Shen Luo’s figure at once, along with Chen Guanbao, who he was carrying on his back. Her heart inexplicably warmed.

“Two people, it’s two people. He brought Chen Guanbao back…” Ying Luo turned around and loudly declared.

After hearing this, Granny Ma exhaled a long breath of relief.

Shen Luo rested in the village for several days, then called over Ying Luo and handed her several sheets of paper full of text.

“What is this?” Ying Luo asked, puzzled after giving it a cursory glance.

“This is Small Transformation Yang Skill, a basic body refining technique that does not require exceptional aptitude. You take it and try, if there are villagers willing to cultivate it, then teach them. At least, it will enhance their physique somewhat.” Shen Luo answered.
