The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 197: Chapter 195: Surrounding the Village

Two greenish hurricanes burst forth, forming two green whirlwinds several dozen feet high. They came at Shen Luo from the left and right. Anywhere they passed, the air churned and winds howled wildly, bringing large trunks and leaves with them, increasing their momentum.

Shen Luo’s expression darkened slightly, he raised his hands against the incoming whirlwinds.

A golden light flashed in his hands as two palms of golden light, each a dozen feet in size, appeared out of thin air and slapped onto the whirlwinds.

With two muffled “booms,” the menacing whirlwinds collapsed on contact!@@novelbin@@

The Blue Eagle was greatly surprised, its eyes were full of disbelief.

Before it could react, Shen Luo casually raised his hand and pressed against the void again. The two palms of golden light suddenly combined, transforming into a house-sized palm of golden light that moved to slap the Blue Eagle.

Even before the palm arrived, an overwhelming force fell on the Blue Eagle, causing its feathers to stand on end and nearly unbalancing its mid-air posture.

Fear apparent on the face of the Blue Eagle, it unleashed a burst of blue light from its body. Flapping with extreme speed nine times, it transformed into a blue shadow and shot forward over a dozen feet. Just barely, it managed to escape before the palm of golden light fully descended.

But before it could catch its breath, it felt a sudden squeeze on one of its claws. It was held tight by a tremendous force — Shen Luo had leaped upward at some point and had appeared below it, gripping one of its claws with his right hand.

“Get down!” Shen Luo commanded with a low yell, pulling and sweeping it downward.

Unable to resist the formidable force, The Blue Eagle’s huge body plunged downwards like a small sparrow from mid-air, crash landing fiercely on several large trees below.

With several “booms,” the Blue Eagle snapped several large trees with its body and fell heavily onto the ground, its bones almost shattered from the impact.

But being a monster of the Soul Condensation Stage, it promptly mustered the strength and attempted to stand.

“Don’t move if you do not wish to die!”

As the command was yelled, Shen Luo descended from the sky as swiftly as a meteor, his foot landing on the back of the Blue Eagle with a “bang,” pressing its form flat onto the ground once again. The bird’s bones creaked under the pressure.

“Please spare me, kind sir! I have offended you due to my ignorance, please show mercy!” the Blue Eagle pleaded in terror.

“Tell me, who sent you to capture me? If you dare to lie even a bit, I’ll crush your wings, and you’ll never fly again!” Shen Luo asked in a deep voice.

“It wasn’t my idea! It was the Great King Heaven Devouring Tiger who sent me. I’m just following orders!” The Azure Giant Eagle had no room for retorts and hastily replied.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo arched an eyebrow but expressed no surprise.

Ever since leaving the Oblique Moon and Three Stars Cave, he had guessed that the Heaven Devouring Tiger would not let him off easily, which is why he immediately began the process of refining the Thunderfall Rune and other talismans for defense. He didn’t expect the enemy to come so quickly.

“Who else has that Heaven Devouring Tiger sent apart from you? Is he coming as well?” Shen Luo asked.

“He… he also sent the Frog Spirit, and Goat-Headed Monster to look for you in Longevity Village. I was only told to guard the back of the village and prevent any secret escapes. He himself would be following shortly,” the Blue Eagle quickly replied, taking no chances at a time of life and death.

No sooner than it finished speaking did a distant beast’s roar come from the direction of the village. The village was so far away that the sound was barely audible by the time it reached them.

“Since you’ve saved me once before, I’ll spare your life today. But if I spot you at the base of the mountain again, I won’t hesitate to kill you.” Shen Luo looked at the Blue Eagle beneath him, his voice icy cold.

“Alright, alright! As long as you spare me, I promise I’ll get far, far away from here; I’ll never descend the mountain again!” The Blue Eagle might not have remembered when he had met Shen Luo, but he brightened up at the words, promising eagerly.

“Though I spare you from death, you must atone for your actions.” Shen Luo’s words took a cold turn. With a swift movement, his hand descended.

A beam of golden light struck the Azure Giant Eagle’s head viciously, causing it to shriek and faint.

Shen Luo left the unconscious Azure Giant Eagle where it was, transforming into a shadow that sped toward the village.

Outside Longevity Village, the sand was swirling and the wind was howling. A black whirlwind raced from the distance, sweeping up every tree and stone in its path, shredding them apart.

Giant roars and the sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground echoed from within the whirlwind, indicating a massive creature rampaging inside, causing the earth itself to tremble.

The young men of Longevity Village, the village’s protectors, watched the scene unfold, their faces turning ashen as they tightened their grip on their axes and other weapons.

Despite frequent monster attacks, they had never witnessed a creature of such magnitude.

“Quick! Get Master Ying and Master Shen!” From his vantage point at the entrance of the village, Qing Niu watched the approaching storm, and realizing the gravity of the situation, he urgently barked orders at those around him.

The person next to Qing Niu nodded quickly, and immediately ran into the village.

“Use the giant logs to reinforce the fences! Everyone, take up the large shields for protection!” Qing Niu bellowed.

The young men around him snapped to attention, hurriedly carrying massive logs and giant stones from the nearby stone houses to reinforce the fences.

Around twenty individuals fetched shields as tall as humans from the houses, forming a shield wall at the village’s entrance.

Before they could fully prepare, the black whirlwind had already reached within thirty meters of the village outskirts.

Amidst the shrill whistling, suddenly, blue water pellets shot out from the whirlwind, striking the fences violently.

Each pellet was the size of a human head, radiating dazzling watery light. As they hit the fences, they exploded violently.

The fences that the village’s ancestors had put so much effort into fortifying, were as fragile as paper, splintering instantly with loud booms, sending wood fragments and chunks of stone flying in all directions. The large wooden doors covered with sheets of iron were blown off their hinges.

A sudden torrential sound filled the air, as the shield wall formed by the young men quivered under the onslaught, on the brink of breaking apart. Many were thrown by the force of the explosions. Two men nearby had their shields shattered instantly. Before they could even scream, they were smashed by flying rocks, spilling guts and blood all over the ground.

The pained cries filled the air as bodies littered the ground at the entrance of the village. Only around a dozen, including Qing Niu, narrowly escaped calamity.

“Green Clam, what are you doing? The Great King has already warned us not to massacre the innocent at the foot of the mountain!” The black whirlwind halted abruptly at about thirty feet outside the village, a voice rang out from within.

With a thunderous noise, the black whirlwind dispersed, revealing nearly a hundred demon figures. In front of the horde, two powerful monsters, one tall, one short, were taking the lead.
