The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1248 Exposed Chapter 1251: Chapter 1248 Exposed Zhou Ming watched, dumbfounded, while the gray-clothed man, although also surprised, furrowed his eyebrows tightly, seeming more perplexed than shocked.

A black and a red streak of light flashed across the sky above Tianji City, belonging to Shen Luo and that shadow. In the blink of an eye, they had flown twenty or thirty miles, with the shadow moving at an unbelievably fast speed. Shen Luo was already pushing his sword to its limits but still couldn't catch up.

Moreover, the shadow was surrounded by flickering light and emitted an extremely cold breath, which blocked Shen Luo's Divine Sense. He still hadn't figured out who or what the shadow was.

The two soon reached a somewhat desolate mountain range. Not far ahead was Tianji City's prohibition, but the shadow showed no sign of stopping.

Shen Luo saw that they had left the bustling area of Tianji City, and the Wind Thunder Spirit Light on his arms suddenly intensified, shooting out two massive pillars of gold and azure light behind him. His speed instantly increased manifold, and in a blink, he caught up with the shadow.

He let out an angry shout and reached out to grab at the void with his right hand.

Five thick golden electric arcs shot out from his hand, transforming into five golden lightning snakes that entwined around the shadow before explosively bursting apart.

Bolts of golden lightning struck the shadow harshly, unleashing a great thunderous destructive force that immediately tore through the outer layer of black light on the shadow.

The golden electric arcs crackled and continued to fiercely pounce toward the inside of the black light.

But before Shen Luo could rejoice, a hissing sound of breaking air came from within the shadow, and several streaks of black light shot out, effortlessly shattering those golden electric arcs. They flew like arrows toward Shen Luo's chest; they were several black feathers.

Shen Luo frowned, swiftly dodging to the side while flicking his fingers repeatedly, launching over a dozen red Sword Qi that collided with the black feathers.

Bang, bang, bang!

The red Sword Qi and the black feathers burst upon contact, utterly failing to hinder the black feathers even slightly. The feathers vanished in a flash, and in an instant, they were right in front of Shen Luo.

Shen Luo's expression darkened. A golden light flashed in his hands, and the Profound Yellow Staff appeared, sweeping across.

A golden rod shadow collided with the black feathers, emitting a loud “clang” as the feathers were scattered all around. They broke apart with a “snap” sound.

However, Shen Luo also staggered slightly before regaining his stance, his face showing a surprised look.

Those black feathers were only the length of a finger and seemed insignificant, yet they contained such incredible power.

Taking advantage of Shen Luo being repelled, the shadow leaped toward a small mountain below and in a blink of an eye, gained some distance from Shen Luo.

But Shen Luo immediately steadied himself and chased after the shadow like lightning once again.

The shadow swiftly flew into the small mountain and surprisingly stopped at the mountain top.

Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyes flickered, and he did not approach immediately. Instead, he halted the Escape Light about ten yards away in midair.

“Your Excellency, who exactly are you? Why are you stealing my Nine-turn Steel Chain? This is Tianji City, where robbery and murder are strictly forbidden. All I need to do is shout once, and there is no need for me to take action myself; the people of Tianji City will surely not stand by,” he said in a deep voice.

“Oh, then why don't you try shouting a couple of times and see?” the shadow let out a hoarse voice, and the surface black light gradually dissipated, revealing its true form.

Shen Luo stood there stunned. The shadow in front of him was not a person, but a black wooden bird, about a zhang tall, clad in armor, opening and closing its beak as it spoke human words.

This wooden bird armor was as lifelike as any real bird, its eyes flickering with red spiritual light as it mockingly observed Shen Luo. Its pitch-black wings were tightly clasped to its spine, covered with black feathers, identical to those of the Black Feather that had attacked earlier.

“Armor! Are you from Tianji City? How dare you publicly steal my treasure; you're quite bold!” Shen Luo quickly recovered his wits and questioned.

“Bold? I think Your Excellency is the truly audacious one, daring to bewitch and deceive the disciples of our city with soul-enthralling tricks to extract confidential information. It has been many years since anyone has had the courage to do that,” the black wooden bird let out a faint cold laugh, uttering several sentences that thoroughly alarmed Shen Luo.

“You…” Shen Luo's eyes widened in disbelief. When he had enchanted Zhou Ming, his methods were extremely covert; not even fellow monks in close proximity should have been able to notice, yet the person behind this wooden bird armor saw through him.

“Just who are you? I kindly ask you to reveal yourself,” he inhaled deeply to regain his composure and bowed slightly towards the black wooden bird.

“Oh, managing to stay calm in such a situation? Quite impressive resolve. As for who I am, a man about to die as you have no need to know,” a cold light flashed in the eyes of the black wooden bird as it flapped its wings and swooped towards him.

Shen Luo had not anticipated the enemy would attack so suddenly. His feet shone with the Moonlight Glamour, retreating swiftly backwards. His arms also glowed with the light of wind and thunder as he formed green wind blades and golden lightning, ready to launch them at the black wooden bird.

But with a flash of black light across its wings, the black wooden bird suddenly flapped them with great speed, causing the surrounding space to ripple. In an instant, the bird transformed into a black thread and vanished mid-flight.

Shen Luo exclaimed in shock, his eyes immediately emitting a bright green light as his Divine Sense expanded in search of the adversary. Then his expression changed drastically. His feet materialized the phantom image of a full moon, spinning rapidly.

His body transformed into a phantom with a “whoosh” and darted to the left, suddenly reappearing a dozen yards away.

Almost simultaneously, a slender black line appeared in the spot where he previously stood, zipping past in the blink of an eye.

The top of a small mountain below was sliced by the black line. Half of the mountain peak was quietly cleaved off, leaving an incredibly smooth cut surface, as if it were a mirror.

Seeing this, Shen Luo felt a chill in his heart. His green pupils rapidly darted left and right as if searching for something.

“To dodge the first of the Gale Nine Flashes is quite a feat. Let's see you try to dodge the second,” the voice of the black wooden bird echoed from the void nearby, its location indiscernible.

No sooner had the voice faded than two bizarre black lines materialized out of thin air on either side of Shen Luo. Like two intersecting black bolts of lightning, they cut swiftly through the air, faster than the previous line.

Shen Luo's pupils shrank. He had pushed his Ghost Eye of the Netherworld and Divine Sense to their limits but still couldn't discern how the black lines appeared.

But there was no time for him to ponder. His feet shone with the Moonlight Glamour and brilliant starlight appeared on his legs. He simultaneously executed Slanting Moon Steps and Body Shifting and Shadow Changing, shooting backwards and narrowly slipping through the gap between the black lines.

“Watch out for the third!” the voice of the black wooden bird rang out again as fully five black lines appeared out of nowhere behind Shen Luo, slashing down from all directions.

The two black lines from before flew back, blocking his path forward.

Shen Luo had barely regained his footing when he found himself in dire straits. With a shout, he waved the Profound Yellow Staff in his hand, producing a flurry of rod shadows that met the incoming black lines head-on.

“Clang, clang, clang!” A series of loud clangs reverberated!

Shen Luo's arms vibrated violently, with the Profound Yellow Staff nearly being shaken out of his hands, but it created an opening among the black lines.

Starlight and Moonlight shone brilliantly on his legs. His arms glowed even more brightly with the Wind Thunder Spirit Light, firing forward as he shot back at incredible speed, passing through the opening.

However, several deep notches had been gouged out of his Profound Yellow Staff, and though it hadn't broken, its surface light was now much dimmer, suggesting it had suffered considerable damage.
