The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 507

Chapter 507: Chapter 503: Chasing Ghost Chapter 507: Chapter 503: Chasing Ghost Shen Luo's expression didn't change as he raised his hand. In front of him, a crimson light emerged, emitting a crisp sword hum from the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, which then blasted out a sword light several feet long, darting out like a horse in full gallop.

The path of the sword light left surges of red light ripples. The approaching ghosts were hit by the light, and they immediately shrieked and howled as if they were being scorched by a raging fire. They all tried to dodge in different directions.

However, the alley was too narrow, leaving them very little room to dodge. They huddled together in a chaotic mess, unable to retreat in time.

The crimson sword light pierced through everything, going straight into the alley. As soon as it entered the alley, it immediately twisted and turned, darting back and forth like threading a needle. Within a few breaths of time, it dispersed all the ghosts, leaving behind only a series of muddy traces.

Shen Luo swiftly moved, and the Moonlight scattered under his feet. He passed through the alley in an instant, heading straight for the deer-headed ghost. Upon getting closer, he swiftly threw the Thunderfall Talisman from his hand, aiming for the back of its neck.

The deer-headed ghost's eyes flashed with a blood-colored light, its hands forming a Dharma seal in front of it. Suddenly, a blood light expanded around it, forming a spherical light curtain that shielded it.

The Thunderfall Talisman hit the blood-colored light curtain, causing an explosive sound!

A silver lightning bolt as thick as an arm lit up the night sky, and the white electric light met the blood-colored light curtain, causing an explosion of electric sparks. Countless thin sparks shot wildly in all directions.

The blood-colored light curtain only shook violently for a moment but showed no signs of breaking.

The deer-headed ghost swiped its hand, and a blood-colored long knife slid down from its sleeve and slashed horizontally towards Shen Luo.

Shen Luo's gaze was locked in place, and he immediately formed a spell.

Accompanied by a humming sound, a dazzling yellow light appeared above his head. A yellow giant bell appeared overhead, its surface producing substantial halos, forming a huge Yellow Bell Barrier that enveloped him.

At this moment, the deer-headed ghost's blood-colored long knife also landed on the protective cover of the Golden Immortal Armor, causing a loud “clang!”

The yellow giant bell shuddered while the light on the surface rapidly shrank, only to produce a deafening bell sound in the next instant.

Accompanying this huge sound, observable ripples of yellow mana vibrated from the yellow bell barrier, propagating like waves, pushing the deer-headed ghost – knife included – backwards.

The other ghosts that had rushed up were thrown off balance by this huge energy wave, tumbling and falling all over the place.

“Go.”

With a thought from Shen Luo, a sharp whistling sound rang in the void. The crimson light transformed by the Pure Yang Sword Embryo darted out, pursuing and aiming straight for the deer-headed ghost's skull.

The ghost had just steadied itself from its retreat, and when it saw the incoming sword light, it immediately raised its blood-colored long knife, making a vertical cut to the front.

With a “clang” sound, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo cut through the blood-colored long knife without any resistance, its momentum unchanged as it cut across the ghost's neck.

A spray of black blood mist burst out, staining half of the alley wall red. The ghost's skull was thrown high into the air, then “thud” as it fell to the side.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo retracted the Golden Immortal Armor above his head, retracing the Pure Yang Sword Embryo back into his hand with a wave.

With a casual pat on his Qiankun Bag, he prepared to collect the Yin Sha Qi from the deer-headed ghost.

However, a flash of light illuminated the Qiankun Bag, but no Yin Sha Qi emanated from the deer-headed ghost.

Shen Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and as he took a closer look, he saw the headless ghost clumsily climbing back to its feet, groping around on the ground until it found the deer's head with its long horns, and stood up again.

It placed its severed head back onto its neck, and worm-like strands of red laces immediately extended from the severed neck, quickly sewing the deer's head back on.

However, in its haste, the head was stitched on backward, facing its back.

Just as Shen Luo was about to move forward, the other water ghosts around him began to charge towards him. The deer-headed ghost, on the other hand, began to flee along the riverbank.

“Trying to escape?”

Shen Luo scoffed, his wrist turning as he was about to bring forth the Pure Yang Sword Embryo again.

However, after a moment's consideration, he withdrew his hand, patted his Qiankun Bag on his waist, and a stream of black smoke flowed out from it, revealing the Ghost General.

“I'm leaving these ghosts to you. Kill them and absorb their Yin Sha Qi, then return to our alley. If you encounter any more ghosts, deal with them too, but don't overexert yourself. If you come across human cultivators, steer clear. Wait for me back at the small courtyard,” Shen Luo instructed.

“Understood,” the Ghost General immediately responded with a salute.

Without saying anything more, Shen Luo immediately leapt into the air, soaring above the water ghosts' heads and chasing after the deer-headed ghost.

In seeing Shen Luo leave, the Ghost General seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the ghosts before him, his eyes glowing with a faint light, as if he was looking at food. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Shen Luo quickly caught up to the fleeing deer-headed ghost. However, he didn't immediately slay the Specter. Instead, he chose to follow it from a distance, wanting to see where it would flee to.

The ghost ran for a while before abruptly holding onto its head and twisting it back into place with a “crack”. It then began to pick up speed and run in a certain direction.

Shen Luo became even more convinced of his suspicion. That guy was indeed fleeing towards its lair.

He saw it leap over walls and roofs, crossing two streets directly after leaving Chang Le Alley, and entered Yongxingfang territory.

Yongxingfang was home to merchants and travelers from all over the place who visited Chang'an. Among them were many foreigners. It was a place where people were constantly coming and going, and home to a complicated mix of residents.

As Shen Luo followed the ghost into Yongxingfang, he discovered that the place had also been attacked by a large number of ghosts. Flames could be seen flickering wherever he looked, accompanied by sporadic shouts.

Not far away from a mansion, he saw several ghosts attacking a group of foreign people with high eyebrows and deep-set eyes. Shen Luo's steps faltered and he hesitated.

If he went to save them, there was a good chance he would lose track of the deer-headed ghost. But if he didn't go to save them, he would feel guilty.

Just as he was torn, the sound of colliding armor and rhythmic marching came from outside the wall. A large troop of city guard soldiers, led by two monks in black robes, rushed into the alley and made for the house.

“It seems that the government has already taken action.” Shen Luo felt slightly reassured and immediately resumed the chase.

By that time, the deer-headed ghost had almost made it out of Yongxingfang and arrived at the edge, near the shore of Qinghua Lake. Just across the lake was Xuanhua Fang.

Just as Shen Luo caught up and was about a hundred feet away, he saw the deer-headed ghost leap into the lake and disappear.

His expression slightly changed and he quickly caught up, formed the Water Repelling Technique with his hands, and dived into the lake water.
