Chapter 1169: Chapter 1166: Heavenly Spirit Soldiers Chapter 1169: Chapter 1166: Heavenly Spirit Soldiers Before Shen Luo could steady himself, a shadowy figure flashed through the void next to him. The Nine-Headed Insect appeared like a ghostly specter, and a silver lightning bolt, which was the Crescent Moon Treasure, slashed towards Shen Luo's neck.

Although Shen Luo was unsteady, his reaction was remarkably quick. With his left hand, he embraced Wu Man'er, and with his right hand, he took out the Slayer's Broken Sword and struck out rapidly. He managed to block the Crescent Moon Treasure's strike without appearing too rushed.

The Nine-Headed Insect's face showed a look of astonishment. With a twist of his wrist, the Crescent Moon Treasure conjured seven phantoms, each aiming at different parts of Shen Luo's body.

Shen Luo's right hand swung out, and the sword radiance of the Slayer's Broken Sword surged, swirling around his body.

Clang, clang, clang…

After seven consecutive loud noises, Shen Luo had blocked all of the Nine-Headed Insect's seven attacks.

Shen Luo felt both shocked and delighted. In his burst of Demonic Qi, his strength was astonishingly strong. The Nine-Headed Insect in front of him was at least a Late-Stage True Immortal being, yet he was able to fight almost evenly matched!

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Insect was also a mix of shock and rage. The blood light on his body soared, and the Crescent Moon Treasure in his hand shone brightly, unleashing a violent storm of attacks.

Shen Luo coolly responded to the enemy, as the two figures battled against each other.

The more the Nine-Headed Insect fought, the more alarmed he became. The malevolent aura emanating from the human youth in front of him was truly frightening. Although he managed to suppress his mind and not be affected by the malevolent aura, he could only exert six to seven tenths of his strength. Added to the fact that he had been seriously injured earlier and hadn't yet recovered, he was unable to take down Shen Luo for the time being.

As for Shen Luo, he was becoming more and more adept at controlling the Demonic Qi. The Slayer's Broken Sword had also been tainted by evil magic before, and it was not averse to Demonic Qi. His sword qi surged powerfully, not only resisting all of the Nine-Headed Insect's attacks but also showing a tendency to overpower him.

“Ghost Carriage Blood Rain!” the Nine-Headed Insect roared furiously, biting the tip of his tongue and spraying a mouthful of thick blood.

This blood was no ordinary blood. It was black with hints of red, extremely viscous, and gave off a strong Demonic Qi.

Swish, swish, swish!

The black and red blood spread rapidly, turning into a vast expanse of black-red clouds in the blink of an eye, covering the mid-air densely.

Then, with a whoosh, a torrential black rain fell from the dark clouds, showering down like arrows and enveloping a radius of over ten miles.

Shen Luo's expression changed drastically. Moonlight Glamour radiated powerfully from his feet as he shot backwards at an incredibly rapid speed.

The Nine-Headed Insect did not try to stop him, instead, he stretched out his hands to either side, creating a black-and-red umbrellshaped light curtain above his head.

Although Shen Luo's Slanting Moon Steps were as quick as lightning, he was now right in the center of the blood rain's range, with no chance of escape. Just as he retreated several hundred feet, countless droplets of black rain poured down on him.

With no other options left, he spat out three blue glowing round pearls.

These three round pearls, obtained from Zen Master Baoxiang's Storage Magical Tool, were of high quality and part of a set of magical treasures with considerable defensive power.

The three pearls intertwined with each other and, with a swift rotation, a thick Blue Light Screen formed above his head.

The Bloodthirsty Flag also flew out and spread out beneath the Blue Light Screen, adding another layer of defense.

No sooner had Shen Luo finished these actions than the black rain descended upon him, with hundreds of raindrops striking the light curtain.

A hissing sound erupted as the Blue Light Screen was enveloped in green smoke and eroded away in the blink of an eye, while the three blue pearls were also drenched by the black rain and dissolved on the spot.

Shen Luo was greatly alarmed, as Mana and Demonic Qi surged out wildly, infusing into the Bloodthirsty Flag.

The blood light on the Bloodthirsty Flag intensified, but as it was hit by countless droplets of black rain, the blood light quickly faded away.

More torrential black rain pelted down, engulfing everything.

The trees, plants, and even the soil on the ground below, upon contact with the black rain, immediately started to emit a pungent green smoke, wilting and melting away.

In the blink of an eye, the black demonic rain had riddled the ground within a radius of more than a dozen miles with holes, turning it into a sticky black swamp and melting the ground by three feet, a sight too horrendous to endure.

A streak of crimson escape light burst out from the black rain, revealing the figure of Shen Luo.

His Jiuli Devil Armor was unscathed, but his exposed arms and calves were horrifically corroded with several large holes, exposing white, ghastly bones that made one's heart tremble with fear.

Furthermore, whether because of serious injuries or not, the Demonic Qi around him was rapidly receding.

The Bloodthirsty Flag floated beside him, enveloping Wu Man'er within. The face of the flag was covered with corroded black spots, its light dim, evidently suffering a significant loss of spiritual power.

Shen Luo took deep breaths, but before he could catch his breath, the figure of the Nine-Headed Insect ghostly appeared behind him, and the Crescent Moon Treasure slashed down towards him, its dazzling silver light shooting straight into the sky.

Shen Luo hastily executed the Pure Yang Sword Technique, pouring all of the remaining Mana and Demonic Qi inside him into the Slayer's Broken Sword and slashing horizontally behind, barely blocking the attack from the Crescent Moon Treasure.

But he was seriously injured and had acted in haste, lacking in strength; the Slayer's Broken Sword was knocked out of his grasp and flew away, and he himself was sent flying by the strike.

“Die!” A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Headed Insect, as the Crescent Moon Treasure flew from his hand, appearing beside Shen Luo's neck and swiftly cut towards his throat with incomparable speed.

Although Shen Luo was sent flying, he did not lose his ability to react; he pointed with his hand, forming a sword technique, and the Pure Yang Sword in the shape of a flood dragon burst forth from beneath him, “clang,” blocking the strike from the Crescent Moon Treasure.

The Nine-Headed Insect was not surprised but instead showed a sneering expression. He motioned with a hand behind his back, forming a technique.

Turbulence in the space on the other side of Shen Luo heralded a cold light materializing out of nowhere; it was another Crescent Moon Treasure, rolling towards his neck like a ghostly specter.

Shen Luo had not expected a second Crescent Moon Treasure, and it was too late to dodge; decapitation seemed imminent.

But suddenly, a golden light shot out from the void next to him – it was a Golden War Spear, moving faster than the eyes of all onlookers, accurately and precisely striking the Crescent Moon Treasure.

“Clang,” a loud metallic clang sounded, as the Crescent Moon Treasure was sent flying.

“Who's there!” The Nine-Headed Insect showed a shocked expression, unable to believe that someone had been lurking unnoticed by his side.

Having narrowly escaped death, Shen Luo retreated a distance with the gleam of moonlight beneath his feet and stopped, then turned to look towards the golden spear.

A figure slowly emerged from behind the gold spear – it was a young man in white, his posture erect and noble, exuding an elegant charm. He radiated a noble presence, seemingly neither demonic nor divine.

“It's you!” When the Nine-Headed Insect saw the newcomer, his eyes shot forth two beams filled with extreme hatred.

The young man in white, however, remained very calm, paying no heed to the Nine-Headed Insect's hateful gaze, instead turning his head to look at Shen Luo and Wu Man'er with concern, asking, “Are you both alright?”

“I am fine. Although friend Wu has fainted, she is also not in grave danger. Thank you, elder, for the life-saving grace,” Shen Luo quickly said, bowing deeply in gratitude.

Although the young man in white looked young, the powerful aura he exuded was by no means inferior to the Nine-Headed Insect or the Jieyin Daoist, so Shen Luo did not dare to be negligent and addressed him as an elder.

The young man in white's gaze fell on Wu Man'er and with a flick of his sleeve,

a surge of water-like white light shot out from his hand, bursting with vigorous vitality and disappearing into Wu Man'er's body in a flash.

A white crystalline glow appeared on the surface of Wu Man'er's body, her furrowed brows relaxing, but she still did not wake up.

Shen Luo sensed the mana signature emitted by the young man in white during the spell casting and was slightly startled, finding it somewhat familiar.

A sudden flash of insight struck him, and he remembered the enormous figure that had previously broken them out of the illusion fog.
