The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 297: Chapter 293: Show Mercy

In the as yet undispersed dust and smoke, a sudden streak of yellow light flashed, revealing a strange flying sword with only a sword body but no handle, stabbing directly at Shen Luo’s face.

The sword body seemed to be made of stone, with a faint rock pattern visible on it, and a yellow paper charm attached to the tail. This was undoubtedly a talismanic instrument.

“Talismanic instrument…” Huo Kun saw it when startled, he whispered.

The look in his eyes towards Shen Luo couldn’t help but be filled with some sympathy. The moment Granny Long made her move, she started using a talismanic instrument. Clearly, she had no intention of letting Shen Luo off lightly, and she might even have murderous intentions.

But Shen Luo calmly sidestepped the sword edge and reached out to grab into the void at the end of the sword.

With a whoosh!

Immediately, a surge of water gushed out from the water jar, transforming into a large hand bathed in a blue glow. It stretched opened its five fingers and then closed them, gripping the strange-looking talisman sword in a single grab.

A hint of surprise flashed across Granny Long’s eyes, followed by her abruptly tugging her hand backward.

The strange talisman sword instantly quivered violently, a layer of yellow light shook on its surface, and with a “bang”, it smashed the water hand apart.

As soon as the sword body was freed, it painted an arc in the void and charged towards Shen Luo once again.

This time, the angle of the yellow light transformed by the flying sword was even trickier, slashing straight down from above towards the top of Shen Luo’s head, with a much faster speed.

“Watch out…” Nie Caizhu couldn’t help but scream.

The faces of Shen Yuange and the others also tightened.

Shen Luo was seen calmly raising a palm, pushing it upward towards the top of his head. Water gathered in front of his palm, forming a water shield glowing with a blue radiance.

The yellow light landed on the water shield, producing a resounding “ding”, being blocked

The yellow light dimmed slightly, revealing the body of the talisman sword. The tip of the sword was emitting yellow dazzling light, continuously striking the shield below, but it could not penetrate it.

“Defending against a talismanic instrument’s attack with just the water control technique…” Huo Kun’s face flashed with surprise, and he muttered to himself.

The others on the side could not yet see what was going on, but Huo Kun, who was also a practitioner, understood. This seemingly delicate and frail teenager in front of him is not simple.

At this moment, Shen Luo suddenly found the pressure on the talismanic instrument above his head easing. A flash of doubt flickered in his eyes as he quickly looked down.

He saw the cyan bricks beneath his feet instantly shatter as numerous vine-like purple branches suddenly shot out from the ground and fiercely pierced towards his heart.

Shen Luo’s eyes immediately narrowed. Three moon-like lights suddenly shone beneath him, and his body flashed with a residual image, skillfully avoiding the surprise attack from the branches and flickered to the side.

Only heard “bang, bang” sounds, the brass water jar was instantly pierced through by the purple branches, and the water inside poured out, wetting the ground.

At this moment, anyone could tell that Granny Long definitely intended to kill Shen Luo, or else her methods wouldn’t be so ruthless.

“Cousin, don’t fight anymore!” Nie Caizhu called out loudly, her eyes filled with worry.

Shen Luo furrowed his brows, said nothing, but his gaze shifted to the old woman, his eyes instantly cooling.

Seeing the change in Shen Luo’s expression, Granny Long felt an inexplicable fear rising in her heart for some reason.

However, she didn’t back down. She violently lifted the purple crutch in her hand, and the purple branches sprouting from the bottom of the crutch were immediately torn from the ground by her, ploughing a deep trench in the courtyard.

Bricks and stones on the ground broke and scattered, affecting the people far away.

Huo Kun moved forward, shielding Nie Renbei. Flying rocks hit him as if they were striking a towering wall.

Shen Yuange and a few others were a little distant from him and they couldn’t protect themselves. If they were hit by these bricks and stones, the consequences would be unthinkable.

At that moment, another series of blurred figures began to flash, moving back and forth in front of Shen Yuange and the others, blocking all the flying stones aimed at them with astonishing precision.

That person was naturally Shen Luo. After several battles and continuous cultivation, his Slanting Moon Steps had already made some progress.

“This time, you should be careful.” A flicker of anger crossed Shen Luo’s eyes and he shouted sternly.

Without holding back, he let the mana in his body circulate freely, and a strong aura was immediately released.

Seeing this, Granny Long’s expression changed drastically. She quickly retracted her walking stick. The vine branches extended from the tail of the stick immediately wove a purple net in mid-air, enveloping her entirely.

However, the water that had spilled all over the ground after the large jar shattered had unknowingly gathered at her feet. The water surged, infiltrated the spaces of the vine net, and transformed into ropes of water that wrapped around her body.

Granny Long sensed something was wrong. Her hands rapidly formed seals, and a layer of light lit up on her body, trying to repel the water ropes.

“Go!” Just then, a stern shout suddenly came from above her head.

Following that, three Yellow Paper Charms fell from the sky, each of them shining with a glow at three different directions.

“Boom Boom Boom…”

Accompanied by three thunderclaps, three white lightning bolted harshly, all of them shocked Granny Long’s body.

“Zizz…”

White lightning bolts rushed through the water ropes, instantly spreading all over Granny Long’s body. She let out a shriek of agony, but the sound abruptly ceased.

Everyone watched in astonishment, frozen in surprise.

The purple net Granny Long conjured slowly retreated, revealing her figure. Her body was charred, her eyes rolled back, she had clearly fainted.

Nie Renbei was greatly taken aback seeing this. He immediately ran to check on her, and Huo Kun also followed, helping him to prop her up.

“Don’t worry, she has merely fainted without any crucial injury.” Shen Luo glanced at her and spoke coldly.

“Thank you for showing mercy.” Huo Kun, although not powerful, could tell that Shen Luo had held back in his last attack. He promptly thanked him with a fist salute.

“The results are clear. If you wish to be a guest, our Shen Family will prepare a feast. If not, please leave at will. We won’t see you out.” Shen Luo stood with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently.

Nie Renbei grew even more upset hearing this, unable to anticipate such an outcome.

“If you had lost, it would be fine. However, you won and injured Granny Long. This won’t end well, and now both the Shen Family and the Nie Family are in trouble.” He sighed deeply, speaking sincerely.

“Granny Long unleashed her killing moves earlier, yet I didn’t see you intervene. If I were less skilled and was really killed by Granny Long, you’d probably just say, ‘What a pity for someone so young,’ right?” Shen Luo responded sarcastically, sounding somewhat amused.

Nie Renbei was stumped by his words and did not know how to refute.

Shen Luo didn’t say anything more. He returned to Shen Yuange and others’ side, displaying a faint smile.

Looking at his somewhat different son, Shen Yuange’s eyes were full of pride.
