The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1213

Chapter 1213: Chapter 1210: Pawn Chapter 1213: Chapter 1210: Pawn “I really still think you're too old-fashioned and rigid, ultimately just too stupid. All right, I'll send you on your way right here, and consider it a decent place for your soul to rest,” Xiong Ran shook his head, speaking slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted his wrist and took out a Flame Long Spear, stepping towards Fu Donglai.

Just then, Xiong Ran suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.

Without turning his head, he thrust out with both hands on the Long Spear, the spear technique reversing directly, and with a twist of his waist, he executed a Backwards Spear Thrust.

Shen Luo's figure launched a surprise attack from behind, keeping his Breath hidden to avoid detection, only to realize that his killing intent was still perceived at the close.

The Flame Long Spear moved with incredible speed, and as it thrust out, a surge of Crimson Flames turned into a Flame Lion charging straight at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo's inner Huang Ting Jing Skills revved up, and he threw a punch.

A golden light flickered on his arm, a golden dragon shadow following his limb and clashing with the Flame Lion.

A loud “boom” resounded!

The golden light and the flames exploded simultaneously, sparks flying everywhere.

The Flame Lion's form dissipated, and the golden dragon shadow also ceased to exist.

However, where the flames and golden light mingled, a Spiral Vortex formed, and the tip of the Flame Long Spear stabbed out from it, aiming straight for Shen Luo's forehead.

Just as the spear tip was about to pierce his brow, a flash of Crimson Light suddenly shot up from below, striking the spear tip with a force that could reach the heavens.

The impact was so strong that it completely broke the momentum of the Flame Long Spear, skewing it diagonally into the sky.

Shen Luo watched unblinkingly as the tip of the Flame Spear swept over his forehead, nearly grazing his scalp as it whooshed into the air above. Far from stepping back, he instead stepped forward.

His inner Dragon Elephant Power erupted once more, and with a crushing punch from his waist, he struck directly at Xiong Ran's chest.

A layer of golden scale armor had just appeared on Xiong Ran when he was firmly hit by this punch.

A stream of fresh blood spurted from his mouth as his body flew backward like a broken sack, the chest guard, though not pierced, denting inwards from the impact.

His scale armor shattered and flew apart, leaving it in tatters.

Xiong Ran's body slammed heavily against the mountain wall and then slowly slid down, leaving a long trail of blood.

“You actually have help…” Xiong Ran struggled to stand, his eyes filled with surprise.

He found it hard to believe that within the Eight Hundred Li of Lion Camel Ridge, there would be a human cultivator coming to Fu Donglai's rescue?

If he had known this earlier, even if Fu Donglai was hit by Soul-scattering Nails, he wouldn't have pursued so recklessly.

Fu Donglai, with the little demon in tow, came to Shen Luo's side.

“Can you honestly tell us now, what exactly are you scheming?” Fu Donglai asked.

“Heh, want to know? You're just a small pawn, what can you do with the knowledge?” Xiong Ran laughed mockingly, hand covering his chest.

“Saying Brother Fu is a small pawn, aren't you one as well?” Shen Luo retorted.

On hearing this, Xiong Ran paused for a moment, then laughed again, “Indeed, I am just a pawn right now, a slightly more important one at that. But soon, I will be more than that. And you… will remain a dead piece.”

With that, he fixed his gaze intently on Fu Donglai.

Shen Luo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, realizing that there was no point in asking this cautious guy anything further.

“Since you won't say anything, then die,” Shen Luo commanded in a low shout.

Accompanying his voice, the Pure Yang Flying Sword that had earlier sent Xiong Ran's Flame Long Spear tipping, suddenly stabbed straight down from above, aiming for the very top of his head.

Xiong Ran sensed the danger and let out a roar like a mighty lion. His body suddenly swelled, transforming directly into his true form, a three-headed fire lion.

Its whole body was enveloped in flames, with bursts of crimson fire shooting up into the sky, and a layer of invisible force field suddenly expanded outward.

The Pure Yang Flying Sword seemed to have stabbed into an invisible wall of air, actually coming to a stop mid-attack, as its nosediving momentum slowed down.

“Just now, you ambushed me, that's why I took that punch, and now you still want to…”

Before the three-headed fire lion could finish speaking, it saw a golden giant elephant, as large as a mountain, charging towards it.

With a “boom,” there was a loud noise.

The three-headed fire lion was hit by a massive force, its body shifting sideways and crashing heavily against the mountain wall.

The air wall that had been surrounding it also dispersed, leaving the Pure Yang Flying Sword unobstructed, piercing downwards.

“Hiss”

A streak of blood light burst forth, the three-headed fire lion couldn't help but howl to the sky, shaking the mountain forest tremendously.

However, as its blood burst forth, it caught fire under the flame burns, “whooshing” into flames.

Large swaths of red fire spread, and the temperature rose sharply, threatening to engulf Shen Luo.

Shen Luo quickly summoned back his flying sword while retreating.

In the next instant, the crimson fire engulfed the sky, covering a hundred-feet radius.

Shen Luo and Fu Donglai, along with the little demon, quickly backed away, but during their escape, they discovered that other demons had already started to gather in their direction.

“Brother Shen, don't linger in battle, let's withdraw,” Fu Donglai, holding the little demon, called out loudly.

Shen Luo nodded, and both of them turned into escape lights, flying away.

Xiong Ran, with his not so light injuries, naturally did not dare to pursue further.

Shen Luo and Fu Donglai, with the little demon in tow, returned to the Underground Cave.

“What's going on here?” Shen Luo pointed to the little demon and asked.

“His name is Little Whirlwind, he's the child of a great demon that originally guarded the Xuan Yang Cave. His father and all the demons guarding the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle have been killed for their negligence. Only he luckily survived by hiding in the cave,” Fu Donglai explained.

“Are they killing to silence people?” Shen Luo frowned.

“Yes, but they missed Little Whirlwind, and he saw Xiong Ran taking away the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle,” said Fu Donglai.

“It indeed was a setup,” Shen Luo said with a cold laugh.

“Now, with Little Whirlwind as a witness, I can clear my name of these false accusations,” said Fu Donglai somewhat relieved.

Hearing this, Shen Luo frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he did not speak, Fu Donglai asked curiously, “What's wrong, is there something amiss?”

“This matter is probably not that simple. I felt something was off earlier; even if Xiong Ran stole the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle and framed you, how did the treasure enter your Storage Ring?” Shen Luo pondered.

“That… I also do not know. My Storage Ring had never been lost before that,” Fu Donglai shook his head.

Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, “Elder Brother Fu, who was it that inspected your Storage Ring that day?”

“The Second King, the Six-tusked Elephant King,” Fu Donglai recalled and answered.

“I think I know what happened,” Shen Luo said with a smile.
