Chapter 554: Chapter 550: Punishing Rebellion (Part 1) Chapter 554: Chapter 550: Punishing Rebellion (Part 1) “No!”

“Ah!”

Two shrill screams sounded almost simultaneously in his mind.

Then, shadows rolled out from Shen Luo's body, loosely forming two incomplete black figures. They flailed their arms, trying to escape, but strands of red flames shot out from Shen Luo's Dantian, like ropes, entangling the two figures, making it impossible for them to escape.

“Since you're here, stay for me.” Shen Luo murmured something indistinctly.

At the next moment, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo in his Dantian brightened again, and a red lotus-shaped flame blossomed from his Dantian, enveloping the two shadows, with a slight rotation.

The two shadows let out a deathly scream, their bodies swiftly disintegrated, turning into a flash of black light. The Red Lotus Fire vortex swallowed them, and they disappeared into Shen Luo's body.

With the disappearance of these two shadows, the Mana in Shen Luo's meridians was completely restored.

Not only that, he could feel streams of pure Soul Power surging from all over his body, pouring into his mind and melding into his soul.

Shen Luo's Soul Power increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it had become thirty percent stronger.

He was overjoyed, quickly realizing that this pure Soul Power was the spiritual essence left by the two Refining Body Platform Soul Cultivators after they were slain by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. He had reaped the benefits.

“So Soul Cultivators are such excellent soul supplements for me. It seems that in the future, whenever I encounter Soul Cultivators from the Refining Body Platform, I should take them seriously and not casually smite them with the Thunderfall Talisman!” He licked his lips and thought.

Soul Power is not like Mana, which can be enhanced by absorbing Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, or by taking Elixirs. Soul Power is intangible and shapeless. Even if there are methods to strengthen the soul, they must be practiced methodically. Every small increase is extremely difficult.

This abrupt increase of his Soul Power by thirty percent naturally stirred his emotions.

“How can this be!” Dan Yangzi stared in disbelief as the two shadows, which had initially held the upper hand, were swiftly slain by Shen Luo in a matter of seconds. His eyes bulged with shock.

However, he quickly calmed down and pointed at something.

The black fire dragon, which had been previously repulsed, once again charged fiercely toward Shen Luo, snapping at him with wide jaws.

Shen Luo's face chilled, and he made a gesture with his right hand. A bright blue light radiated between his fingers as he activated his Water Control Technique.

The nearby Styx River instantly surged, producing a gigantic wave that blotted out the sky.

“Go!” He waved his hand forward, a huge wave, reaching a hundred feet high, crashed onto the shore like a giant hand, slapping at Dan Yangzi.

Dan Yangzi frowned, quickly waving his hands while muttering an incantation.

The attacking black fire dragon immediately halted and in a flash, recoiled back in front of Dan Yangzi. The dragon-shaped black flames expanded with a whoosh, forming a black fire wall in front of him.

When the waves crashed into the fire wall, a sizzling noise erupted. Large patches of Styx River Water evaporated into white vapor upon contact with the black fire wall.

However, there was simply too much Styx River Water. The fire wall couldn't burn it all, causing both the black fire wall and Dan Yangzi to be pushed back.

“You somehow think that mere black flames can make you invincible!” Shen Luo declared. Turning his hand over, he conjured the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, pouring his internal Mana into it.

A dragon chant-like sword cry rang out; the Pure Yang Sword Embryo trembled violently. Meanwhile, the crimson sword light on it intensified, instantly transforming into a hundred-feet-long crimson giant sword. Wild Sword Qi swept through everything, and red flames in the shape of a lotus sprouted from the sword body.

“Slice!” He shouted sternly, while swinging his fingers forward.

Following his command, the crimson giant sword fiercely swung down at the black fire wall and Dan Yangzi hidden behind it. The enormous sword momentum spread out, making it seem as though the sky dome could be split open with a single swipe of the sword.

Dan Yangzi, though surprised by this situation, remained calm. He formed a seal with both hands and pointed towards the black flame wall.

Following his movement, the black flame wall bent and formed into an arc-shaped shield, enclosing his body within.

Next, he brought out a yellow banner and infused it with his pure Mana with a spit.

Nine prohibitions lit up on the banner, emitting a brilliant yellow light. With a puff, the large banner melted into a substantial yellow cloud, shielding above his head.

Before Dan Yangzi could do anything else, the red giant sword swooshed down, striking the black flame shield.

With a sizzle, the black flame shield shattered under the red giant sword, fragile as paper.

The red giant sword, enveloped in Red Lotus Karmic Fire, remained unaffected.

“Impossible…” Seeing this, Dan Yangzi roared in disbelief.

The black flame that the little devils attached to his soul expelled was called Black Essence Devil Fire, created from a difficult process involving collecting large amounts of Yin Sha Qi and sacrificing living humans to fuse with it.

This fire could burn anything and had a significant corrosive effect on magical instruments. While it wasn't classified as an Earth Fire, it was far more potent than any ordinary Spirit Fire, hence why Dan Yangzi, a celebrated alchemist, practiced Five Ghosts Attaching Souls, a nefarious art.

Since perfecting this devil fire, Dan Yangzi had defeated countless formidable foes with it. But it had no effect against Shen Luo's red giant sword.

The red giant sword, after shattering the black flame shield, continued to swoosh down without hesitation onto the yellow cloud formed by the large banner.

An explosive sound echoed as the yellow cloud brutally whirled, shining a strong yellow light. But it was severed by the red giant sword, revealing the terrified face of Dan Yangzi.

Before he could react, the red giant sword continued its descent, striking him directly.

With a bang, half of Dan Yangzi's head and chest exploded into a blood mist.

At this moment, the red giant sword abruptly stopped, not continuing its descent.

Half of Dan Yangzi's body wobbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Red Hands Master's eyes flashed with confusion. He quickly grabbed the fiery red feather fan and waved it at Ge Tianqing.

A five-colored flame pillar shot out, violently attacking Ge Tianqing. The flame pillar emitted a horrifying heat, making the surroundings resemble a volcanic sea of flames.

Ge Tianqing dodged with a faint change in his expression.

Red Hands Master seized the opportunity to put away the fire fan. His body shimmered, and a flame-like red light rose from his body. The next moment, he transformed into a fiery long rainbow and flew away at a shocking speed.

Ge Tianqing wanted to give chase, but knowing his speed was inferior, he reluctantly gave up.

“I'll chase him. Elder Brother Ge, I'll trouble you to use this pill to help Elder Brother Xie.” Shen Luo took out an Injury Healing Rejuvenating Pill again and tossed it to Ge Tianqing.

Before Ge Tianqing could respond, he formed a sword technique with his hand. The red giant sword flew down from mid-air, landed at his feet, and lifted Shen Luo, White Star, and the Ghost General.

“Rise!”

Shen Luo changed his sword technique, and the red giant sword emitted a vibrant sword light. Suddenly, he did a roll and enclosed the three of them inside. Blurring into a sword rainbow, it shotly forward like a thunderbolt. It was faster than Red Hands Master's fire escape light.

The speed of both was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, one after the other disappeared into the skyline.
