Chapter 522: Chapter 518, Enemies on a Narrow Path Chapter 522: Chapter 518, Enemies on a Narrow Path “Hehe, what a small world, bumping into this brat here. After he slipped away last time, this time I must rip his head off,” Qian Tong sneered.

He had been manipulated by Shen Luo last time and had nearly died under the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. On the surface, he didn't show anything, but deep down, he held a grudge against Shen Luo and immediately wanted to take revenge.

“We are on a mission now, all matters should prioritize it, don't stir up trouble,” Daoist Master Cangmu extended his hand to stop Qian Tong and coldly said.

Hearing this, Qian Tong reluctantly stopped, his fists clenched, and anger surged in his eyes.

Of the three, Daoist Master Cangmu had the highest cultivation level, and this mission was also led by him. The hierarchy within the Refining Body Altar was strictly enforced, the leader's orders had to be absolutely obeyed, and no one was allowed to violate them.

“But Daoist friend Cangmu, this man appears to be the leading cultivation monk sent by the Great Tang Dynasty Government to guard here. If we don't remove him, our plan may not proceed smoothly,” Nu Chuan frowned.

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flickered in Qian Tong's eyes.

“If that's the case, let's get rid of this man first,” Daoist Master Cangmu pondered for a moment and nodded.

“Good, I'll take the lead this time,” Qian Tong volunteered enthusiastically.

“No, Daoist friend Qian, your methods are too ostentatious. This man is not weak and is sure to perceive in advance. It's still better for Nu Chuan to make the first move. With her 'Ghostly Shadow Illusion', she should be able to easily get close to him,” Daoist Master Cangmu said solemnly.

“Getting close to him is not difficult for me, but as you know, my offensive methods may not be able to severely wound him,” Nu Chuan frowned.

“No matter, I can lend you my Returning Dragon Soul-Collecting Dart. This needle is specialized in breaking all kinds of protective spiritual lights, and it contains a deadly poison. As long as it pierces a bit of skin, that man will be immobilized with ease for us to slaughter,” Daoist Master Cangmu took out a three-inch long black thin needle and handed it over.

On the black thin needle, one could vaguely see countless tiny scale-like patterns, and a touch of gloom flickered at the needle tip. Just looking at it made one feel palpitations.

“Thank you, Daoist friend Cangmu.” Nu Chuan had long heard that Daoist Master Cangmu had this magical instrument and was overjoyed to receive it.

The three quickly disappeared from here.

Shen Luo galloped non-stop around Guang De district. By the time Zhou Meng and the others arrived, he had already relieved seven or eight critical defense points with swift measures, significantly easing the pressure on the Guang De district army.

Such efficient actions left Zhou Meng and others awe-struck, and they admired Shen Luo even more.

There were zombie attacks in almost every street of Guang De district. Shen Luo distributed Zhou Meng and the others, teamed up with the soldiers in the district, to guard one or several streets each, while he himself returned to the main street he had been on before, commanding in the center and immediately going to support wherever the battle situation was intense.

The Imperial Forest Army also arrived here, joining the lower frontier guard troops.

After a fierce battle, everyone barely stabilized the situation in Guang De district.

“Thank you, Immortal Master, for your timely assistance. If it weren't for your appearance, our city defense would have indeed been breached. If that happened, this general would have been unable to atone for his death,” a middle-aged general with sword-like eyebrows and heroic spirit stepped forward to thank him, seemingly the leader of the local guard.

“I, Shen Luo, am also here on orders. General, there is no need for such courtesies. But where did these zombie ghosts come from? You have been guarding here all the time, have you found any clues?” Shen Luo waved his hand and asked about the most concerning matter.

“I don't know either. Somehow, these animals just appeared out of thin air, and there are very few other ghosts,” the middle-aged general shook his head.

“Is that so…” Shen Luo responded. Just as he was about to inquire about other matters, another wave of zombies surged up from the deeper parts of the street ahead, rushing toward them.

To his surprise, there were two black zombies among the large wave of zombies. They were much taller than ordinary zombies and moved more nimbly, almost sprinting towards them.

“Go!”

Shen Luo urged his Pure Yang Sword Embryo with a twist of his sword technique, and it flew into the sky with a whoosh, dragon-like. Then, it trembled and turned into countless crimson sword shadows, like a sky full of sword rain, masking down.

The sword Qi cut through the air, making countless sharp whistling sounds, drowning all the rushing zombies in it.

Sounds of body parts breaking echoed as the zombies fell like wheat in a wheat field, nearly annihilated.

Ever since he started practicing the Pure Yang Sword Technique, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo had grown more powerful.

The soldiers behind him, seeing this, let out exclamations of awe.

“Huh!”

Shen Luo's gaze narrowed. Two zombies were still standing there, the same two black zombies as before.

There were many sword wounds on their bodies, but they didn't fall, and even their limbs remained intact as they continued to rush towards here.

“What a sturdy body!” Shen Luo exclaimed to himself, waving his sleeve.

The sky-full sword shadows merged into one, turning into a red sword rainbow. It blinked and appeared in front of the two zombies, slashing across their necks.

The heads of the two zombies flew up into the sky, and their headless bodies rushed forward a few steps before falling to the ground.

Shen Luo gestured to recall the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, intending to fly over to Zhou Meng and the others to see if they also encountered these black zombies. Zhou Meng and the others might not be able to cope with them.

Just then, there was a fluctuation in the void behind him, and a vague dark figure emerged ghostly, it was Nu Chuan, bending her finger and swiftly flicking towards Shen Luo.

A black thin needle shot out from her fingertip, targeting Shen Luo's back at an extreme speed, leaving a streak of afterimages.

Only at this moment did Shen Luo feel the odd situation behind him, and he was shocked.

His Divine Sense had been released ever since he set foot in Guang De district, but surprisingly, he could not sense the presence of this dark figure.

Shen Luo was surprised, but his movements were not slowed down in the slightest. The Moonlight Glamour shone beneath his feet and he sprung forward.

However, the black thin needle was extremely fast, like a lightning strike. His Slanting Moon Steps were just casting, and he was much slower in terms of speed. The distance between them quickly narrowed, and the black thin needle was about to pierce him.

But at this moment, a streak of emerald light flashed by.

With a “clink” sound of metal clashing, the black thin needle was bounced off. A jade ruyi several feet long appeared behind Shen Luo, blocking the strike of the black thin needle.

“How could this be!” Nu Chuan was shocked.

Her Ghostly Shadow Illusion could not only enhance her speed but also wipe out her breath, making her undetectable by Divine Sense. Shen Luo's initial reaction was the same, how could he possibly produce a magical instrument in time to block the Returning Dragon Soul-Collecting Dart?
