Chapter 425: Chapter 421: Encounter Lu Huaming Again Chapter 425: Chapter 421: Encounter Lu Huaming Again Seeing Hu Yong catching up closer and closer, Shen Luo turned his wrist, throwing a Thunderfall Talisman in front of him. He maneuvered the Slanting Moon Steps rapidly, swiftly passing by the talisman and quickly flashed away to the opposite direction.

Hu Yong had just caught up when a “thunderous” explosion sounded!

A snowy white thunder light as thick as an arm fell from the sky, going straight for his head.

Hu Yong's gaze suddenly became intense, and a flash of green thunder appeared under his feet. He narrowly managed to avoid it.

However, the Thunderfall Talisman, despite not directly hitting his body, the explosion caused a shockwave of smoke and dust that inevitably hindered him, causing his pursuit speed to slow down.

Shen Luo took advantage of this fleeting opportunity, quickened his pace, widened the distance with him, and rushed towards the dense forest.

However, just as he was about to step out of the bare land area, a young man in a round-necked long robe, standing on a sword, broke through the dense branches in the forest and collided head-on.

Caught off guard, Shen Luo could only fall back to the ground.

He cursed his ill luck silently and looking up, his eyes flashed with astonishment.

At the same time, the person on the sword was also looking down at him. The two gazed at each other from afar and simultaneously exclaimed, “Why is it you?”

The person was none other than Lu Huaming, a government official he had met before!

That year, although Shen Luo had only seen Lu Huaming once in the dead of night at the river channel of Song Fan County, it was the first time he had seen someone perform a sword flight, which he admired immensely, thus, leaving a deep impression on him.

Before Shen Luo could comprehend, he heard Lu Huaming shouting loudly, “Brother Jia Cheng, be careful, dodge quickly.”

“Who is Jia Cheng? Who is that?”

Shen Luo was initially puzzled, then suddenly remembered, when he heard the name “Lu Huaming” that day, thinking it was a “pseudonym” he had made up, he casually made up a “false name” for himself, “Shen Jiacheng”.

Realizing that Lu Huaming was warning him, Shen Luo immediately disappeared and moved to another side.

As soon as he dodged aside, there was an explosive sound in the dense forest, a wave of black Yin wind rolled out, breaking seven or eight ancient trees and rushed out.

Shen Luo turned to look back, seeing the Yin wind rolling to the edge of the pond, the black mist suddenly dispersed, revealing a shriveled man in bronze armor, wielding a bronze long sword.

His face was almost as dried out as Lu He's, his skin was green and black, and his mouth was full of black gums and white teeth, his sunken eye sockets were shining with two green lights.

The Ghost General just revealed his figure. He instinctively wanted to continue hunting down Lu Huaming, but as soon as he moved, he stopped immediately, turned his head, and looked at the wine gourd hanging by the pond.

The Ghost General hesitated for a moment, seemingly attracted by the vital force gathered in the gourd. He left Lu Huaming behind and lunged towards the pond.

Hu Yong initially planned to kill Shen Luo when the opportunity arises. However, he was shocked to see this scene.

“Evil Beast, what do you think you're doing?”

After saying that, he shouted, a green electric light flashed under his feet, he shifted sideways, blocking the wine gourd, and slapped the Ghost General.

The Ghost General let out a vague grunt, thrust his sword towards Hu Yong.

A cluster of black light the size of a peanut condensed at the tip of the bronze sword, colliding fiercely with Hu Yong's palm.

Suddenly, a green talisman in his palm lit up. Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, several green thunders clustered out, colliding with that black light group.

There was a loud “boom!”

The green lightning mixed with black speckles exploded simultaneously, shooting in all directions, triggering constant thunderclaps in the void. Both the Ghost General and Hu Yong were pushed back by this force.

Hu Yong swiftly retrieved his wine gourd floating in mid-air, landing on the other side of the pond. He glanced doubtfully at the Ghost General and Shen Luo. A task, that was originally no trouble for him, had become increasingly complicated, causing his face to darken progressively.

After a brief hesitation, he turned over his hand, took out a green talisman, and attached it to the wine gourd.

The talisman paper shone brightly. The rich wave of blood energy overflowing from the gourd was quickly suppressed.

The Ghost General seemed to lack spiritual wisdom. Sensing the absence of the blood energy, it stopped momentarily. Its head jerked mechanically side to side, observing Shen Luo and his party, seemingly unsure of who to attack first.

Shen Luo surveyed the scene, estimating the cultivation levels of the others. It appeared that both Hu Yong and the Ghost General had reached the Soul Condensation Later Stage, while Lu Huaming was at the Mid-stage Soul-condensing Cultivation.

Even if he could join forces with Lu Huaming, they most likely wouldn't match either Hu Yong or the Ghost General. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly, creating an unusually quiet atmosphere for the moment.

However, the brief peace didn't last long. The Ghost General pivoted and dashed towards Lu Huaming at an impressive speed.

Simultaneously, Hu Yong's eyes turned cold as he attacked Shen Luo.

“Brother Jia Cheng, what is this about?” Lu Huaming asked as he dodged the Ghost General's attacks.

“That bastard wants to use living humans as sacrifices to break the seal here and release the vengeful ghost of the Jing River Dragon King locked beneath,” Unable to telepathically communicate, Shen Luo pointed at Hu Yong and cried out loudly.

Hearing these words, Lu Huaming's expression changed drastically. He stopped dodging the Ghost General's attacks, gripping his antique longsword with a single hand and drawing a wipe across the sword body with a finger.

A layer of green sword radiance lit up at the edge of the sword.

With a crisp “clang”!

Lu Huaming slashed out with his sword, causing the ancient sword to burst forth with a solid sword light that stretched out several feet long, tearing through the void and aiming straight for the Ghost General's cranium.

The Ghost General's eyes flickered with ghost fire. Holding the bronze long sword with both hands, it cut down without any frivolous movements.

Instantly on the bronze longsword surfaced a layer of black evil qi that surged out like a solid substance, colliding with the sword light. The two exploded simultaneously, transforming into a powerful cyclone that swept in all directions.

As Lu Huaming retreated with a sway of his figure, he suddenly transformed into a green afterimage, disappearing from the location in an instant.

“He's gone…” Shen Luo, seeing this, couldn't help but feel surprised.

“Good kid, still daring to be distracted?” Just then, a mocking voice from Hu Yong suddenly sounded out from behind Shen Luo.

Shen Luo immediately felt a gust of wind hitting from behind. By the time he wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

Unbeknownst to him, Hu Yong's hand had grabbed hold of a green short axe. The body of the axe was wrapped with green electric threads, making crackling sounds as it swung towards the back of Shen Luo's head.

In his haste, Shen Luo could only make a swift turn, tightly holding the handle of the golden blade with one hand, and using the other hand on the blade's back. He raised his Qi to hold the long knife over his head, blocking the incoming attack.

With a crisp “clang”, a spark flashed on the golden long knife, and it broke upon impact.
