The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Chapter 390: No Need to Struggle Chapter 394: Chapter 390: No Need to Struggle Before, the green-robed man from Mount Putuo stood beside Ye Zhong, a flash of coldness passing through his gaze as he looked at Shen Luo.

“You were following me! How could that be possible?” Xie Yuxin's eyes widened, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

“Our Bishui Sect's methods are not something that mere freelance cultivators like you can fathom.” A somewhat bald, blue-robed big man snorted coldly, speaking in a tone of mockery.

This man had a small, emerald-green bag hanging around his waist, which occasionally bulged and squirmed, as if something alive was contained within.

Shen Luo's gaze drifted over, briefly lingering on the small bag at the man's waist, a thoughtful expression flashing across his face.

“Young man, you run fast. The people I arranged couldn't keep up with you. If it hadn't been for the fact that we discovered you and this little lass entering the market together, you really would have escaped.” Ye Zhong ignored Xie Yuxin, his eyes only on Shen Luo.

“What do you want?” Shen Luo stood still, speaking calmly.

“Brother Wu, this person offended you. How would you like to deal with him?” Ye Zhong looked at the green-robed man nearby, his tone laced with flattery.

“Brother Ye is too courteous. I came here just to retrieve the two materials for junior Sister Li. As for how to deal with these two, it's naturally up to you, Brother Ye. However, these two disregarded our sect's rules and caused a commotion in the market. If we don't punish them severely, I'm afraid we won't be able to deter others.” The green-robed man smiled slightly, speaking in this manner.

“Brother Wu speaks truly. Come, arrest them both.” Ye Zhong nodded, directing his order with a simple command.

The disciples of the Bishui Sect around them complied in unison, taking action together. Over a dozen beams of light shot out, transforming into flying swords, daggers, and various talismanic instruments, all aimed aggressively at Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin.

Among them, a slightly curved blue flying sword that resembled a snake body emitted the brightest aura, surpassing the others. Obviously, it was of magical instrument level, and the bald big man was the one who released it.

Shen Luo's gaze turned cold. This was no mere arrest; these people were clearly planning to kill them in one strike.

“Retreat!” He pulled Xie Yuxin back, retreating rapidly while simultaneously waving his hand.

Two clumps of ash flew out from his hand, attaching themselves to their feet.

As early as when these people had appeared, Shen Luo had quietly activated two Divine Armor Horse Talismans.

With a swish, the two turned into shadows, retreating at an incredible speed, easily avoiding the attacks from the talismanic instruments.

Boom!

The talismanic sword lights landed where the two had been standing, instantly creating a large crater in the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing the dust, Shen Luo moved his left hand to his back and made a gesture with his right hand.

A “whoosh” sound resounded, and a long stream of water shot out from the nearby lake, swirling into a water wave several meters high that swept towards the dozen or so Bishui Sect disciples who were chasing them.

Almost at the same time, a small stream of water came out from the ground behind them, wrapping around his left hand and forming a water ball about the size of a human head that was spinning rapidly.

Flashes of black light appeared in the water ball, and a blackwater tunnel emerged within it.

Shen Luo slapped his left hand on the ground, and both the water ball and the blackwater tunnel disappeared completely into the ground.

His series of actions was extremely discreet, with the giant wave blocking the front. None of the people from the Bishui Sect noticed it, only Xie Yuxin who was next to him did.

A look of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she chose not to ask any further questions.

“Trying to use a water-control technique in front of us, disciples of the Bishui Sect, is like selling water by the river!” Seeing the giant wave sweeping over, the bald big man burst into laughter, his hands quickly forming a series of seals.

With a flash of blue from his hands, two water-wave-like beams of blue light shot out, resisting the huge water waves and attempting to divert them to the side.

However, the mana within the water waves was continuous and intricately merged with the waves themselves. The bald man's water-diverting technique was as ineffective as an ant trying to shake a tree; it simply couldn't move them.

The enormous water waves came rushing forward, crashing into the bald man's body.

The man's body convulsed. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a grunt but did not retreat. Instead, he roared and poured all his mana into the water-diverting technique.

The blue light swirling around his hands suddenly brightened tenfold, and he exerted all his strength to divert the water once more.

A faint layer of blue light appeared on the massive water waves, barely shifting their direction to avoid the people of the Bishui Sect and hitting nearby large trees instead.

With a loud crash, several trees were ripped apart in an instant, and the waves carved a deep trench in the ground.

Ye Zhong, watching from a distance, flashed a look of fury at the scene.

A light chuckle came from the green-robed man standing nearby, causing a flush of irritation to rise in Ye Zhong's eyes, despite the man's seemingly innocent intent.

“A bunch of incompetents, what the hell are you all doing?” Ye Zhong roared furiously.

At his words, the disciples of the Bishui Sect gave a start and hastily energized their talismanic instruments, continuing their attack on Shen Luo and his companion.

Although these people were only at the Qi Refining Stage, the combined forces of more than ten people still proved to be formidable.

“There's no need to confront them head-on,” Shen Luo said quietly to Xie Yuxin, his feet flashing with moonlight as he dashed sideways, covering several yards in an instant.

Having practiced relentlessly over this period, paired with his dream entry experience, his Slanting Moon Steps had reached near completion. A single step covered nearly ten yards, as if space itself had been compressed.

Xie Yuxin was about to retaliate when she heard Shen Luo's words. Thinking back to his unusual actions just now, she stopped and dodged in another direction instead.

“You all deal with that woman; leave this brat to me!” The bald man, repressing his internal injuries, called out. He pursued with his snake-shaped flying sword.

Upon hearing his words, the disciples of the Bishui Sect responded in unison, urging their talismanic instruments toward Xie Yuxin.

The bald man gave a grim smile to Shen Luo, flicked his sleeve, and the snake-shaped flying sword bloomed with intense light. It shot out a sword light several yards long and lunged at Shen Luo with lightning speed, even faster than the talismanic instruments.

Shen Luo swiftly retreated, and a flash of black light in his palm revealed the Ghost Wailing Ring. He made a false strike into the void.

The Ghost Wailing Ring lit up with black light, and a grim ghost head appeared, opening its mouth wide to release a piercing wail.

Sharp and tangible, the black sound waves took the form of a black light pillar, several yards long and as thick as a water pipe, and struck the snake-shaped flying sword.

But the snake-shaped flying sword was indeed a magical instrument, seemingly even more superior than his Dragon Pattern Gold Knife. As the sword Qi roared in and out, it cut through the sound waves with a sizzle easily.

However, the Ghost Wailing Ring was a half magical equipment after all, and was quite powerful when energized by Shen Luo's cultivation level. Although the snake-shaped sword broke through the sound waves, its speed was significantly reduced.

Moonlight flashed under Shen Luo's feet, and he seized the opportunity to dash sideways once more.

The bald man watched this scene and peered at Shen Luo with a crafty gleam in his eyes upon which, he pointed and quickly made a hand seal.

With a cracking sound, two blue lights, each a foot long, separated from the snake-shaped flying swords, revealing two tiny swords that lashed out at Shen Luo with incredible speed.

The speed of these two miniature swords surpassed even the snake-shaped flying sword. With a single flash, they were already above Shen Luo's head, slashing down together.
