The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 495 – 495 491

Chapter 495: Chapter 491 – Battle Against a Horde of Ghosts Chapter 495: Chapter 491 – Battle Against a Horde of Ghosts Shen Luo did not change his expression, instead a cunning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The sword technique in his hand naturally changed, and the red light at his fingertips suddenly surged, pointing out into the void.

On the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, there was a “whoosh” sound, and a group of crimson flame appeared out of nowhere. It was the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Those black threads immediately broke down inch by inch when they were burnt by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, turning into black Qi and drifting away. The Sword Embryo was regaining its freedom, and the sword light shining from it was even brighter. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire was mixed in it and it slashed forward viciously.

A “sizzle” sound was heard!

The Spectral Ghost screamed, a huge wound of about several meters appeared on its back, and strands of Ghostly Qi leaked out from it.

Shen Luo waved one hand, and the green short axe in his hand split out, once again releasing a thick green lightning, hitting the body of the Spectral Ghost.

The green lightning exploded, tearing apart and swallowed half of the Spectral Ghost's body which turned into black Qi and drifted away.

But the Pure Yang Sword Embryo inside the Spectral Ghost's body did not fly out. In a flash of spiritual light, it made another fierce slash in another direction.

A larger sword wound appeared again on the Spectral Ghost.

The body of the Spectral Ghost exploded completely, turning into nothingness. A black round pearl emerged from the ghostly Qi that had not yet dissipated, emitting an astonishing Yin Qi.

“Quick! Give me that pearl!” The Qiankun Bag shook incessantly, and the General Ghost inside it shouted with excitement.

Shen Luo waved his hand to take the round pearl into his hand, and threw it into the Qiankun Bag. After that, without stopping, he continued to shoot toward the people on the shore.

Whiz! Whiz!

There were two more Ghosts standing in front of him. One was a Blood-Red Ghost of the size of a child, with horns growing on its head and a long tail behind its buttocks. The other was a two-meter-high green-faced fanged Zombie.

Both Ghosts possessed strong Ghostly Qi, reaching the Soul Condensation Stage. Although they were not as good as the previous Spectral Ghost, they were not far behind.

At the same time the two Ghosts blocked his path, they both launched attacks. The Blood-Red Ghost raised one of its claws, emitting a blood light and made a grab into the void.

A huge blood-colored Ghost Claw several meters in size shot out and pointed towards Shen Luo, giving off a strong smell of blood.

The green-faced Zombie, however, directly pounced. A sharp yellow light appeared on its giant fist and it struck out with a huge punch, facing an overwhelming force.

Shen Luo immediately urged the Golden Immortal Armor on top of his head, a bell-shaped protective cover emerged to meet the attacks of the two Ghosts.

With two “clang clang” sounds, the blood-red Ghost Claw broke apart at the sound, and the green-faced Zombie was also shaken, its body was sent flying.

However, because of the powerful strength of the two Ghosts, the bell-shaped protective cover was humming and vibrating. Shen Luo who was inside, his body also received a shock.

He sighed quietly. Although he had the Golden Immortal Armor, his talent was mediocre, and his Mana was inferior compared to those on the same level.

Just at this moment, a shadow flickered behind him, and a dark red skeleton appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.

The dark red skeleton was only the size of an ordinary person, its eyes flashed with two clusters of ghostly green light, and its body was even a bit torn and tattered, but the Gui Qi exuding from its body was extremely strong, far stronger than the Blood-Red Ghost and the green-faced Zombie, even compared to the previous Spectral Ghost, it was slightly superior, almost reaching the peak of the Soul Condensation Stage.

And the Gu Qi on its body was extremely violent, like gunpowder.

The skeleton's two bone hands were virtually spread in front of its chest, with a flash of crimson light, a crimson fireball the size of a millstone appeared between its palms, where a hideous skull head was looming.

From inside, there was an odd smell of burning heat, as if a coffin that had been buried deep in the ground for millions of years was burning, which was not only extremely hot but also carried an aura of resentment.

The moment the crimson fireball was condensed, the dark red skeleton's two hands immediately pushed it out. The enormous crimson fireball shot out like a meteor, giving Shen Luo no time to react at all. It hit the bell-shaped protective cover fiercely.

“Boom!” With a sound that could shake the heavens and the earth!

A black and red mushroom-shaped fire cloud rose into the sky, completely engulfing the bell-shaped protective shield!

The ground near the wooden bridge trembled like an earthquake, a hot wave swept across, scraping off a layer of the nearby surface, countless fragments of stones shot out like crossbow arrows, flying in all directions.

Deep within the black and red fire cloud, the bell-shaped shield trembled violently. It quickly became thin with a cracking sound, revealing several cracks.

Shen Luo's cheeks shook pale. His hands formed dizzying hand-seals, tightly pressing them on the shield, and pouring his mana into it regardless of the consumption.

The yellow light of the bell-shaped shield surged and stopped thinning. The cracks also quickly healed.

However, before the cracks healed, a wisp of crimson flame managed to fly in, fell on Shen Luo's calf, and instantly burned through his clothes, melting into his calf.

Shen Luo, who was wholly concentrating on maintaining the Golden Immortal Armor, noticed this wisp of flame only when it had already melted into his body.

With a “puff” sound, a clump of crimson flame appeared on his leg. The surrounding flesh quickly blackened and hissed like bug chirping, or like a poisonous snake hissing.

The crimson flame seemed capable of devouring flesh and vital energy, quickly grew, and spread around.

“Damn it!” Shen Luo's heart missed a beat, he hurriedly mobilized his mana to block the erosion of the crimson flame.

But these flames, though seemingly ordinary, were stuck to his flesh like maggots on a bone. His mana couldn't stop their spread.

“What kind of flame is this, it's so powerful! Right, the use the Great Unsealing Technique!” Shen Luo's face turned grim, he quickly thought of a countermeasure, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind, he activated the yet unfinished Great Unsealing Technique.

A white soft light appeared around the wound on his calf, enclosing it. The crimson flame was immediately blocked and no longer spread.

He took a breath, and immediately mobilized all his mana towards his calf. A dazzling blue light emerged on his leg, wrapping the crimson flame layer by layer and rushing fiercely.

Amidst the “sizzling” sound, the crimson flame was suddenly extinguished.

Shen Luo exhaled in relief, operating the Great Unsealing Technique to heal his damaged body, his expression suddenly became stiff.

His Great Unsealing Technique had reached the three stages of skinning, slicing, and bone carving. Therefore, flesh and bone injuries weren't much of an issue. As soon as he activated the Great Unsealing Technique, those injuries started to heal immediately.

But a force from the flame had already invaded the Foot Shao Yin Kidney Meridian in his calf, which quickly shriveled up.

Anxious, Shen Luo didn't care that he hadn't yet mastered the part about harnessing meridians in the Great Unsealing Technique, he mobilized the power of the Great Unsealing Technique fully, and compulsively poured it into the meridian.

Severe pain arose from within the meridians, as if thousands of needles were piercing through. Even with his tenacious mentality, he couldn't help but groan.

Just when this pain struck, his mind suddenly cleared up, all the content of the Great Unsealing Technique flashed in his mind, churning like a breached river.

In a split second, it seemed as if he had broken through a certain bottleneck, his understanding of the Great Unsealing Technique instantly reached a new level.

The power of the Great Unsealing Technique successfully entered the Foot Shao Yin Kidney Meridian. A layer of white light appeared on the originally shrunk meridian, and it quickly recovered to its original state.

A huge mana immediately poured in, wiping out the force of the flame in the meridian.

Shen Luo's heart was overjoyed. He had unexpectedly broken through the bottleneck of the Great Unsealing Technique during the battle, reaching the level of harnessing meridians. Now, he could cultivate the Xuan Yin Opening Vein Method.

But before that, he needed to finish the battle in hand first.
