Chapter 1277: Chapter 1274: Weak Water Chapter 1277: Chapter 1274: Weak Water Not far away, Demon Heart's expression darkened as his arm quivered, and a pitch-black Demon Spear suddenly appeared in his hand.

The surface of the Demon Spear was wrapped in black light, with mists swirling around it as if evil ghosts were lurking within.

Following a sweep of Demon Heart's arm, the Demon Spear flew from his hand, hurled in the direction of Master Yan.

The Demon Spear had only traveled a short distance when its black light flashed, causing it to vanish from the void, only to reappear in the blink of an eye in front of the Giant Ape Armor, stabbing viciously towards its abdomen.

However, at that moment, a Treasure Light-shining Golden Staff also shot out from the void beside the Armor, striking the black Demon Spear with the force of splitting mountains and parting seas.

A thunderous boom reverberated, as gold and black gleams burst forth, engulfing everything in the vicinity.

The moment they touched, they separated; the black Demon Spear was sent flying away, and the Golden Staff also flew back in retreat.

The shadow of a figure flashed with Golden Light, appearing out of nowhere to catch the Staff, and with a gentle sway of his body, he stood firm.

“Brother Shen, it's you!” Master Yan's voice, surprised and delighted, came from within the Giant Ape Armor, and the golden Ape opened its large mouth to swallow the old man surnamed Zhong.

Seeing this scene, Demon Heart was enraged and with a flip of his hand, a blood-colored blade shadow flashed across his palm.

Shen Luo's mind flashed with the image of the Blood Devil Saber previously drawn by this demon, and his heart chilled as he immediately shot towards the Black Water Ban.

Master Yan, having captured the old man surnamed Zhong, also immediately retreated in the direction of the Black Water.

Before they retreated far, a blood light flashed in front of them, and a blood-colored ribbon, several tens of feet long, thundered towards them.

The two felt an overwhelming stench of blood assault their senses, nauseating and unbearable, and the essence blood within their bodies was drawn to it, threatening to burst out and merge into the blood-colored ribbon.

Shen Luo was startled and held out his Profound Yellow Staff, which shone brightly with Golden Light as he struck forward. At the same time, a Thousand Cup Golden Goblet appeared above his head, bursting with Golden Light to protect his entire body.

The Giant Ape Armor where Master Yan was located also shone brightly, instantly forming a massive light shield in front of it, while two other blue armors flew out to shield in front of the Giant Ape Armor.

No sooner had they done this than the blood-colored ribbon surged forth, engulfing their bodies.

Two loud “bang” “bang” sounds were heard!

Shen Luo and the Giant Ape Armor were shot out from the sea of blood light, landing about ten feet away from the Black Water.

The Giant Ape Armor's arms were crossed in front of its body, yet they were severed at the elbows, and a deep gash that penetrated halfway into its chest was visible as it staggered backward.

Shen Luo seemed to be unharmed; he held the Profound Yellow Staff horizontally behind the Giant Ape, promptly halting its stumbling retreat.

They were close to the Black Water here, and the Mana within his body was once again restricted, causing the Spiritual Light on the Profound Yellow Staff to dissipate entirely.

The brilliance on the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet also vanished, reverting to its original form as a golden cup, which dropped to the ground with a “thud.”

The sheet of blood light surged forward as if wanting to pursue them, but after advancing only a few feet, it began to tremble, showing signs of collapse, and then came to a halt before rushing back like a whale sucking in water, returning to Demon Heart's hand and transforming into a Blood-colored Long Knife, the very Blood Devil Saber.

With the blood light dispersed, the two blue armors were revealed, now cut in half at the waist, their Spiritual Light utterly extinguished.

Demon Heart watched Shen Luo and the Giant Ape Armor, his eyes flashing with cold light, but he did not continue his attack.

Yuan Ming and the others were outmaneuvered by Master Yan, and there was nothing they could do about Shen Luo and Master Yan, who had retreated next to the Black Water.

“Are you alright?” Shen Luo looked at the Giant Ape Armor.

“I'm fine, thank you Brother Yan for coming to the rescue.” The Giant Ape Armor's abdomen made a “clack” sound, and a hole split open from which Yan Wushi and the Zhong surnamed elder fell out.

The body of the Zhong surnamed elder was still bound by numerous Golden Ropes, his mana was also restricted, and he couldn't struggle free.

That Giant Ape Armor then collapsed on the ground with a thunderous sound and stopped moving completely.

“It's a small matter, the real trouble is yet to come. Do you know where this place is, Brother Yan? Do you know the source of the restraining power?” Shen Luo waved his hand dismissively and asked telepathically.

Here, the prohibition didn't affect Divine Sense; transmitting messages through Divine Sense was still possible.

“I'm not sure either, but I suspect it has something to do with this pitch-black Water Area.” Yan Wushi replied telepathically.

He knew things were difficult, which is why he had taken the risk of capturing the Zhong surnamed elder as a hostage just now.

“I think so too, this black water is indeed strange, possessing powerful corrosive forces, and there are also huge Ferocious Beasts living in the water. I arrived here a bit earlier than Brother Yan and almost got dragged down by an octopus-like ferocious beast,” Shen Luo cautioned.

Yan Wushi, hearing these words, looked back at the black water with a slightly shocked expression and nodded seriously.

“How did you end up here, Brother Yan? And what about Elder Mei and the other Daoist friends from Tianji City?” Shen Luo then asked.

“Elder Mei and I were scattered by those Yin Beasts. I wandered around the Mystical Cave by myself and somehow ended up here. I have no idea how the other fellow disciples are faring,” Yan Wushi said with a worried expression.

Shen Luo let out an 'oh' and looked at Demon Heart and the others, asking no further questions.

“Elder, what do we do now?” On the other side, Yuan Ming approached Demon Heart and cautiously telepathically asked.

“A bunch of useless trash, four against one disciple of Tianji City, and they still let that old man Zhong get captured!” Demon Heart replied with telepathic criticism.

Yuan Ming and the others knew they had botched the job and kept their heads down, not daring to speak.

Demon Heart reprimanded the three of them and no longer paid them any attention, instead rapidly considering his options as he looked towards Shen Luo and Yan Wushi.

“Both of you have impressive powers, much stronger than these three good-for-nothings behind me. The black-robed Daoist friend is a disciple of Tianji City, but from which sect does Your Excellency hail? To emerge unscathed from a strike of my Blood Devil Saber, you must also be of a renowned lineage, right?” After some contemplation, Demon Heart suddenly sheathed the Blood Devil Saber, stepped forward, and gave Shen Luo a salute from afar with a smile, asking.

Yuan Ming and the others widened their eyes at this scene.

“I am Shen Luo, a monk from the Great Tang, from a small sect, not worth mentioning. I wonder, Elder Demon Heart, why did you attack Brother Yan?” Shen Luo, sensing Demon Heart's sudden change of attitude, was unsure of his intent and retorted with a question.

“So you're a monk from the Eastern Great Tang, truly a distinguished person unlike any other. As for why I captured this Daoist friend from Tianji City, I meant no harm. You two also came here for that great treasure inside the Black Abyss Mystery Cave, didn't you? Alas, without crossing this Weak Water Sea, all is in vain,” spoke Demon Heart casually.

Shen Luo, upon hearing this, remained composed, but his heart was full of tumult.

So, this black water behind him was Weak Water. He cultivated the Nameless Cultivation Technique, which expounded on the way of all waters; naturally, he knew what Weak Water was–the darkest and most poisonous among all waters, rumored to be hidden in the deepest parts of the Nine Nether Palace, capable of eroding everything, even the Divine Soul. He hadn't expected to find it here.

And beyond this Weak Water was the great treasure of the Black Abyss Mystery Cave. From what Demon Heart implied, he seemed to have a way to cross these black waters, which both alarmed and excited Shen Luo!

Upon hearing all this, Yan Wushi was also greatly shocked.
