The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 380

Chapter 380: Chapter 376: Joint effort (Second update) Chapter 380: Chapter 376: Joint effort (Second update) Elsewhere, Feng Shui had already grasped a water-blue longsword, its blade traced with patterns resembling flowing water, and swung it directly at Xie Yuxin.

Among all of them, Xie Yuxin was somewhat slow in her reaction. Only under Shen Luo's reminder did she instinctively withdraw her figure backwards.

“Boom” an explosion resounded!

The thunderfall talisman, first thrown out by Shen Luo, blasted open, unleashing a robust bolt of lightning that struck directly onto Tong Guan's palm covered by black light. Yet it was grasped directly into his hand with a close of his fingers.

The snowy white thunder light was crushed by his fingers, turning into irregular electric arcs that erupted from between his fingers, casting a dazzling flurry of electric light.

Following that, the “War” symbol on the Fractured Talisman, flashing with a hazy purple light, lit up first. Then the whole charm pattern shone brightly, and a splendid golden light emerged, transforming into a golden illusion like a spear, shot straight at Tong Guan.

Tong Guan met the thunderfall talisman with his palm. Even though he forcefully crushed the lightning, the power of this talisman still exceeded his expectations, making his entire arm numb. And when he felt the strong suppressing killing intent coming from the second talisman, fear welled up in his heart. He dared not risk receiving it directly again.

“He clutched the flagpole as a black halo lit up on his hand. The originally calm flag face suddenly made a “whoosh” sound, and the flag body swept fiercely, directly caging the Fractured Talisman inside.

This unexpected scene was beyond Shen Luo's anticipation.

Since he had used two high-order runes simultaneously, the excessive consumption of his mana made it difficult for him to sustain. He wanted to intervene, but he was completely incapable. He could only watch helplessly as the Fractured Talisman was swallowed by the black flag.

In the next instant, the light emanating from the Fractured Talisman was devoured by the black flag.

“Good kid, I almost fell for your trap,” Tong Guan said, holding the flagpole and retreating, with lingering fear.

Shen Luo also took a step back using Slanting Moon Steps, creating some distance between them.

His gaze shifted slightly, glancing at the forest on the right. Xie Yuxin was fighting against Feng Shui. For the time being, they were evenly matched.

“Yu Xin, you wretched woman, how dare you kill my brother and betray the holy altar. I vow to make you wish you were dead!” Feng Shui's eyes were red, staring fiercely at Xie Yuxin, he said viciously.

Xie Yuxin, on the other hand, didn't utter a word, continuing to fight, wielding the Red Rhombus.

Shen Luo dared not divert too much attention. He refocused entirely on Tong Guan. Facing a cautious mid-stage Soul Condensation cultivator, he was without a doubt, devoid of any chance at victory.

But at this moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Swoosh”

A near-inaudible sound of fabric tearing suddenly rang out.

Tong Guan's face changed dramatically, he abruptly turned to look at the black flag in his hand and was taken aback.

The surface of the flag was crisscrossed with fine lines resembling shattered porcelain. Fine threads of white light emanated from the cracks, expanding incessantly.

In the next instant, a clear and resounding dragon chant emanated from the flag surface.

“Roar…”

A golden light suddenly surged, and a giant dragon head struggled to rush out from the widening white fissure. It appeared as though it had climbed out of the chasm of a deep abyss, freeing itself from the restraints of the flag's body and charging into the sky.

The black flag, too, was torn into countless pieces within the splitting white light.

“No…” Tong Guan's eyes filled with regret, he yelled angrily.

His eyes shifted, looking at Shen Luo, the one responsible for destroying his precious magical tool, his eyes were practically spitting fire.

With a quick movement of his hand, a golden small knife, about a foot long, slid down from his sleeve, and with a flash of golden light, it transformed into a three-foot-long golden long knife.

Tong Guan rushed forward, surrounded by black wind under his feet, moving extremely fast, heading straight for Shen Luo. With a swing of his arm, he aimed his blade to strike at Shen Luo's head.

Shen Luo, fully prepared, dared not clash head-on. His foot stepped and a flash of moonlight appeared, activating the Slanting Moon Steps. His figure blurred and darted sideways; he avoided the blow neatly.

The golden knife edge barely brushed past his nose, producing an extended ten-meter-long golden knife glow which crashed down to the ground with a clamor.

With a “Bang!”

Smoke and dust billowed on the ground while several towering ancient trees affected by the knife glow exploded one after another.

A gigantic trench then appeared on the ground, making it appear bottomless.

“Elder Brother Xie, don't linger, let's go!” Shen Luo wasn't about to delay any further. He shouted immediately and started to run towards the edge of the Heavenly Pit using the Slanting Moon Steps. In his sleeve, his hand was already clutching a Flying Talisman.

Just then, he felt a chilly sensation under his feet–a sensation he somewhat recognized.

When Shen Luo looked down, he could see a tendril of white fog flowing on the ground. A layer of frost formed instantly, freezing his leg on the spot.

When he turned to look at Xie Yuxin, half of her body had also been frozen inside white ice crystals. Not far from her was Feng Shui, tapering his fingers into a magical formation and holding a round compass, a whiff of cold steam emitting from it.

“Die for me.”

Tong Guan's hostility towards Shen Luo deepened. At that moment, fully intent on killing Shen Luo, he charged forward with his golden knife.

The golden light on the knife in his hand brightened and he aimed another vertical chop at Shen Luo.

Just as the bright light of the knife was about to descend and split Shen Luo in half, a massive shadow plummeted from the sky. A huge golden dragon claw swooped at Tong Guan's head.

The golden glow on the dragon claw was sharp, carrying a relentless momentum that could slice through metal and jade. It descended at an extreme speed.

Tong Guan startled, immediately turned his wrist and switched from a vertical chop to a diagonal swipe upwards, aiming at the golden dragon claw.

A “clang” from his blade rang out.

The swing of his blade altered, reducing its force. The golden knife glow brushed past the dragon claw, sparking countless golden sparks and then smashing onto the golden dragon that Ao Hong had transformed into.

Even though there was no blood, many golden scales fell off where the blade passed.

Even so, Ao Hong wasn't pushed back by the blow. The dragon claw continued to press down, blocking the edge of the golden blade and suppressing Tong Guan underneath.

Seizing this opportunity, Shen Luo used his Water Control Technique. With a hinting gesture, the ice crystals that had frozen his legs began to melt bit by bit.

“Hmph, it's said that among all the creatures in the world, a dragon possesses the maximum water strength and an elephant the highest terrestrial strength, thus creating a term 'Dragon Elephant Power.' But today, I see it is not much.” Tong Guan was suppressed under Ao Hong's claw and chuckled derisively.

With that, he raised the empty palm of his other hand and slapped the ridge of his blade.

A massive golden light crescent suddenly spread from his palm, transforming into an overwhelming torrential force, clashing upwards like a mountain and sea, causing a severe tremor.

With a “boom,” there was a muffled explosive sound!

Bloodlight flashed on Ao Hong's dragon claw and his massive body was blown away.
