Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Chapter 425: Ghost General Chapter 429: Chapter 425: Ghost General With a slight hesitation, Shen Luo still chased after it.

But before he could catch up, a black whirlwind in the sky crashed down, followed by a loud rumble. Lu Huaming's figure flew backward from the forest and fell in front of Shen Luo.

He quickly stepped forward to help him up.

“Brother Jia Cheng, where's that old guy?” Lu Huaming wiped the blood from his mouth and asked.

“He was injured by the seal and has already died.” Shen Luo explained.

“What about the seal, was it destroyed?” Lu Huaming hastily asked.

Shen Luo glanced in the direction of the pool and replied, “It doesn't look like it.”

“That's good, that's good.” Lu Huaming heaved a sigh of relief.

Just as he finished speaking, two towering ancient trees in the forest ahead broke at the waist and slammed towards the two of them.

The two of them immediately retreated to avoid it.

“There's one more troublesome ghost to deal with. This is a thousand-year-old Treasure Heart Pill, it can help you quickly heal and restore some of your mana. We will need your cooperation for what comes next.” Lu Huaming took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo hesitated slightly, accepted it, uncorked the bottle, and out came the last green Elixir Pill.

He took a gentle sniff, a rich aroma of plants filled his nostrils. He then tossed the Elixir Pill into his mouth and swallowed.

As the Elixir entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a warm current that spread through his meridians. Shen Luo felt a strange itching and numbness at his wound, as if it was healing bit by bit.

Mana also began to accumulate in his Dantian, and the previous sense of emptiness was relieved considerably.

“Thank you.” Shen Luo expressed his gratitude to Lu Huaming with a small bow.

“Don't thank me yet, this fellow sucked up quite a lot of evil aura just now, and his power is about to reach the Peak of the Soul Condensation Stage. His spiritual wisdom also seems to have improved considerably, let's see if we can take him down first. You can thank me properly when we make it out alive.” Lu Huaming stared ahead, his voice grave.

“Okay.” Shen Luo promptly agreed, turning his palm over to grasp the Mother-Child Sword in preparation.

Just then, a roar came from ahead, and the Ghost General in bronze armor suddenly charged out from the forest. Unexpectedly, he now had a pitch black cloak trailing behind him.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Luo realized that the cloak was covered in blurry and ferocious ghost faces, densely packed and struggling as if they were trying to break free from the cloak.

The Ghost General, with his bronze sword in hand, pointed in their direction. Immediately, a troop of hundreds of ghost soldiers and zombies charged out from the forest behind him.

Seeing this, Shen Luo shook his longsword in his hand, adjusting his magic spell. With two crisp sounds, two small and nimble flying swords shot out from the sword body and plunged into the group of ghost soldiers.

Wherever they passed, constant sizzling sounds could be heard as the ghost soldiers were pierced through the head and fell to the ground.

Then, Shen Luo charged forward, his sleeve flicked, and more than a dozen yellow Talisman Papers simultaneously shot out. The charm patterns on them lit up one after another, turning into more than a dozen white lightning bolts that crashed down.

For a moment, the troop of ghost soldiers was engulfed in repeated thunderous crashes and flashes of electricity, causing many of them to fall to the ground.

“Well done.” Upon seeing this, Lu Huaming raised his thumb in approval.

Having said that, he held up the longsword, his single hand forming a magic spell. The charm patterns on the sword body flickered, immediately shrouding it in indistinct green light before it darted out with a “whoosh” sound.

“Scatter.”

With just a light shout, the green light on his sword body immediately dispersed, forming dozens of identical green sword shadows, with a series of clear sword cries. They penetrated into the ghost soldiers.

In a moment, the ghost soldiers were caused fatal injuries.

The real body of the ancient sword passed through the ghost soldiers and went directly towards the ghost general.

The latter raised the bronze long sword in his hand, swept it horizontally in front of him, and a rich deadly air gushed out from the sword body. After a clash with Lu Huaming's long sword, it was driven back.

“This guy's deadly aura is quite tricky. We can't get too close for too long. It's easy to get invaded by the deadly aura and it's not a good feeling.” Lu Huaming said as he took back the longsword thrown back towards him.

“Has it got any vulnerabilities?” Shen Luo nodded and asked.

“This ghost general is not weak in combat and the copper armor on his body is extraordinary. If we are to say there's a flaw, the limited spiritual wisdom can barely count as one, but unfortunately, it's not significant. To slay it, we must destroy the deadly pill hidden in its Dantian. Otherwise, even decapitation is useless. Once it gets a breather, it will gather ghosts and reborn. But the armor at its Dantian is the most robust. Even if I try my best, I can't break it in one hit.” Lu Huaming sighed.

“If I can break its armor first, do you have confidence in killing it with one blow?” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo's eyes brightened and he asked.

“You have a way to break the armor at its Dantian?” Lu Huaming asked with some surprise.

Shen Luo did not speak, only nodded.

“Well! Rest assured, as long as you can break its armor, I will never waste the opportunity create by you.” Lu Huaming said with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Shen Luo wanted to say something more, but his face suddenly changed, and he quickly dodged aside.

A pitch-black sword light split across, pushing him and Lu Huaming back. The ghost general's figure came rushing over, he raised his hand and grabbed towards Shen Luo in the void, and also took a sword swing at Lu Huaming.

In the rush, Lu Huaming parried with his sword and was thrust out a few tens of feet by the pitch-black sword light.

But Shen Luo felt a sense of oppression from the surrounding void, without any hesitation, he immediately performed a Water Repelling Technique. Immediately, a blue light screen appeared around him, protecting him.

As soon as the blue light screen emerged, depression marks appeared all over, and strands of deadly aura, barely perceptible to the naked eye, gathered under the control of the ghost general towards Shen Luo, like an invisible cage confining him.

Shen Luo raised the longsword in his hand, trying to break free, but his body was suddenly pulled by an invisible force that sprung up from nowhere, directed towards the ghost general.

His heart tightened, he quickly grabbed the Mother Sword and slashed it towards the void in front of him. A water-blue sword light burst out, transforming into a half-moon arc light in mid-air, slashing towards the ghost general.

The ghost general saw the sword light flying, he simply waved his hand, with a casual swing of the bronze sword in his hand, it dissipated the arc light, and the other hand violently yanked back.

Shen Luo heard a whistling sound by his ear, his body approached the ghost general even more rapidly. The distance between the two was less than ten feet in no time, and it seemed he was about to fall into the grasp of the ghost general.

However, the closer he got, the calmer Shen Luo's expression became.
