Chapter 1057: Chapter 1054: Oblivious to Death Chapter 1057: Chapter 1054: Oblivious to Death “Go to die!”

The black-faced elder's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty as he pointed with his finger.

“Roar”

A black specter roared as it pounced over, catching up to Qin Ming in a blink of an eye and fiercely biting down with its hideous mouth.

“Master!”

The round-faced youth had not run far when he turned his head and saw this scene, immediately turning back and rushing over, with his black battle knife transforming into a slash of black light aimed viciously at the black specter.

Unfortunately, he was too far from Qin Ming to rescue him in time.

Just as Qin Ming was about to lose his life, a slender red light appeared from nowhere, streaked through the void, and the black specter that was about to swallow him split in two, exploding with a “bang.”

Immediately afterwards, the other specter heads also stopped in mid-air and then exploded into black Qi that dissipated.

“Who dares to mess up Daoist's plans? Hiding and sneaking around, is that what a hero does? If you've got the guts, show yourself!” The black-faced elder shouted angrily around him, paying no attention to Qin Ming and the other youth.

The other two black-robed monks did the same, looking around with faces full of anger.

As for Qin Ming and the round-faced youth, they were stunned by this sudden turn of events, having just seen one of them desperately pounce, and the other blown away by a mouthful of blood, not quite understanding what had happened.

At that moment, a flash of blue light appeared next to them, revealing the figure of a man in a green robe – it was Shen Luo.

Qin Ming and the round-faced youth were startled, but seeing Shen Luo's friendly expression and sensing no malice, they relaxed a bit.

The black-faced elder and the two black-robed monks, upon seeing Shen Luo who had appeared silently, were all taken aback and exchanged glances, hesitant to act rashly for the moment.

“The two of you have worked hard; here are two healing pills, take them first,” Shen Luo, with his back facing the three of the black-faced elder, smiled and took out two elixirs, handing them to Qin Ming and the round-faced youth.

He had arrived nearby quite some time ago, but he wanted to see if Qin Ming and his companion truly intended to revitalize the Spring and Autumn Pavilion; that's why he only intervened at the last moment.

The two elixirs emitted a refreshing medicinal strength. Just by smelling the incense of the medicine, Qin Ming felt his severe injuries lessen slightly, and his eyes immediately turned fervent.

These two elixirs were better than any others he had ever seen, but he did not accept them right away.

“Thank you, Excellency, for your assistance just now, but these elixirs are too precious, and I am too ashamed to accept them,” Qin Ming said respectfully.

Shen Luo smiled, as it was clear that Qin Ming did not recognize him, and without explaining, he flicked his finger and the two elixirs flew out and entered the mouths of Qin Ming and the round-faced youth.

The elixirs melted upon entering their mouths, turning into two streams of warmth that coursed through their bodies. Their injuries were immediately healed, and their cultivation levels greatly improved.

Qin Ming felt a surge of mana inside him, advancing to the mid-term peak of Qi Refining, while the round-faced youth's cultivation also shot up to the early peak of Qi Refining.

Qin Ming felt the changes within his body and was about to thank Shen Luo with a face full of ecstasy when his eyes suddenly widened.

“Elder, watch out at your feet!” he shouted in alarm.

Before his voice had fallen, a yellow shadow passed under the dirt by Shen Luo's feet, and a small earth-yellow scorpion shot out. Its tail turned into a yellow phantom and stabbed into Shen Luo's ankle, burying itself into his flesh.

“Haha! No matter who you are, once stung by a scorpion demon, just wait for death!” The black-faced elder ahead saw this scene and immediately burst into a wild laugh.

He had just realized that Shen Luo was not to be trifilled with, so, while Shen Luo was talking to Qin Ming, he secretly commanded the poisonous scorpion to sneak past, and, as expected, struck true in one hit.

The spot where Shen Luo's ankle was pricked instantly turned greenish-black and began to swell rapidly.

But his expression did not change, and he raised his hand, summoning a layer of blue light that seeped out from the skin under his ankle, enveloping the scorpion.

An intense chill erupted, and with a “crack” sound, the scorpion was frozen into a lump of ice.

Shen Luo pulled out a pale purple pearl, which was none other than the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead, and touched it to the wound on his ankle.

At once, strands of purple-black poison flowed out from the flesh, absorbed by the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead. The green-black skin quickly turned white, and the swelling rapidly subsided, returning to normal in just a few breaths.

“As expected of the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead, it can not only dispel poison mist, but also directly extract toxins from wounds!” Shen Luo's eyes brightened as he murmured to himself.

How could he have been unaware of the scorpion underground? He just wanted to test the effectiveness of the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead, so he deliberately let himself get stung; after all, this level of poison was like a mere itch to him and posed no threat whatsoever.

“Impossible! My scorpion demon was cultivated with thirteen kinds of deadly toxins, even a Grain Avoidance Cultivator bitten by it can't escape death, how can you be unharmed!” The black-faced elder was panic-stricken and shouted in disbelief.

“Shut up!” Shen Luo stood up, his face expressionless as he flicked his fingers, a streak of crimson light flashed.

The black-faced elder's head burst with a “bang”, his brains and blood splattering everywhere. His headless body wobbled, then stiffly fell like a dried-up wooden stake.

Meanwhile, the other two in black clothes were terrified and immediately split off in different directions, each taking out a black talisman and slapping it on themselves. After a flash of black light, a black protective cover formed around their bodies.

Han Li casually flicked his hand, sending out two extremely thin rays of crimson sword light that shot from his fingertips, instantaneously appearing behind the two men and effortlessly piercing through them.

The black protective covers shattered on impact, the heart meridians of the two men were shredded by the sword Qi without a single drop of blood on their skins. They fell to the ground, bereft of all breath.

Qin Ming and the round-faced youth, seeing Shen Luo effortlessly kill the three from the black-faced elder's group with a simple gesture, turned pale once more, their eyes filled with deeper reverence when looking at Shen Luo.

“Elder not only saved the lives of my disciple and me but also killed those three, avenging the disciples of our Spring and Autumn Pavilion who perished. I thank you here, but may I dare ask for your illustrious name so that I can remember it day and night?” Qin Ming stepped forward and bowed deeply.

“It seems Brother Qin has completely forgotten about me. I am Shen Luo. These years, you have borne the weight of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion on your own, and have suffered greatly.” Shen Luo lifted Qin Ming back to his feet as he spoke.

“Shen Luo… you… you're that Shen Luo who relied on his wealthy family and was taken in by the Spring and Autumn Pavilion?” Upon hearing Shen Luo's words, Qin Ming's mouth dropped open in shock, and he started stammering.

The round-faced youth nearby looked on at Qin Ming and Shen Luo with a confused expression, obviously unfamiliar with the name Shen Luo.

“It seems my reputation for relying on my family's status to enter our sect those years ago has widely spread. Yes, I am that Shen Luo. I was lucky to escape when our Spring and Autumn Pavilion was destroyed.” Shen Luo said with a light smile.

“I was just speaking thoughtlessly just now, please don't take it to heart, Junior Brother Shen.” It was only now that Qin Ming realized the bluntness of his earlier words and hastened to apologize.

“Hehe, those are just trifles from our youth, Brother Qin need not worry about it. Those three just now, who were they? Why did they want to kill you?” Shen Luo obviously did not mind the matter and deftly changed the subject.
