Chapter 555: Chapter 551: Punishing the Betrayal (Part 2) Chapter 555: Chapter 551: Punishing the Betrayal (Part 2) Ge Tianqing watched Shen Luo's figure swiftly recede, a complex look appearing on his face.

Among those assigned on this mission, his cultivation level was the highest. When Senior Yellow Wood nominated Lu Huaming as the leader, he said nothing outwardly, but inwardly, he was quite unsettled.

But at this moment, whether it be Lu Huaming or Shen Luo, the strength they displayed far surpassed his own, which left Ge Tianqing, who was always proud, somewhat disheartened.

However, he quickly shook his head, no longer dwelling on this matter, and flew towards Xie Yuxin.

Using the power of the Cloud Array, Shen Luo invoked the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and executed the Sword Controlling Technique. A light leap forward propelled him miles away, with his surroundings swiftly changing. This was much faster than when he used the Sword Controlling Technique himself, almost on par with the speed of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

The Sword Controlling technique is a sophisticated flight method, and can only be achieved with a deep connection between the user and the sword. Otherwise, even though he had obtained the Mother-Child Sword years ago, he couldn't cultivate the Sword Controlling Technique until the Pure Yang Sword Embryo was refined.

Applying the Sword Controlling Technique with the power of the Cloud Array was inherently challenging, as the power of the array, though substantial, was not entirely his own mana.

However, since his soul's power had magnified so greatly, it allowed him to execute various supernatural powers more smoothly than before, making this instance surprisingly smooth.

Although the Red Hands Master also executed a secret technique and fled with full force, he was much slower than Shen Luo. The distance between them was rapidly closing in.

Seeing that there was no escape, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Red Hands Master. He immediately came to a halt, his Five-Fire Fan lighting up with five dramatically different, bright lights. In addition to the previously seen crimson red, there were four other colors: golden, dark, pure white, and bloody red.

The seven feathers on the fan stood upright, each emitting a divine light. The entire fan exuded an unparalleled aura.

“Arrogant fool, take this!” The Red Hands Master swung the Five-Fire Fan with all his might towards the red sword rainbow that trailed after him.

The sound of a phoenix sounding in the distance rang out. A Fire Phoenix the size of about twenty or thirty feet surged out from the fan, dragging behind it five long feathers each bearing a different color: crimson red, golden, dark, pure white, and bloody red. It collided with the red sword rainbow.

With an explosive bang, the Phoenix and sword rainbow collided.

The sword rainbow flickered and transformed into a Red Giant Sword, clashing with the Phoenix. Both sides were surrounded by dazzling light, neither giving way as they collided with each other, causing ripples through the surrounding void.

The Phoenix let out another loud cry, spread its wings and transformed into a large ball of light surrounded by five different halos.

These halos contracted abruptly, and then expanded towards all directions. In the blink of an eye, five large vortexes, each bearing the colors of crimson red, golden, dark, pure white, and bloody red, spontaneously formed around the ball of light.

The spiritual pressure emitted by the ball of light suddenly surged several times, almost suffocating those nearby as it surged forward relentlessly.

With a loud crash, the Red Giant Sword instantly shattered and reverted back into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. It spun and shot backwards, the spiritual light on the surface of the sword embryo dimly lit, clearly having suffered significant damage.

Shen Luo, the Ghost General, and White Star were all repelled, and the Cloud Array was also shattered in a single blow.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Shen Luo's mouth. He looked at the Five-Fire Fan in the hands of the Red Hands Master with a sense of surprise; the power of the fan was even greater than he had expected. It seemed that the Red Hands Master had not been exerting his full strength in the previous encounters.

Hovering beside him was a cyan shield, which was the Ink Armor Shield. Thankfully, he was able to invoke the Ink Armor Shield just in time at the crucial moment. Otherwise, he would've suffered severe injuries.

As for the Ghost General and White Star, without having any defensive magical tools, they directly bore the brunt of the attack from the Five-Fire Fan. Their injuries at this point were quite severe, and they crouched down onto the ground, too weak to stand.

Despite being shocked by the power of the Five-Fire Fan, Shen Luo did not stop. Ignoring his injuries, he waved both hands continuously.

A flash of yellow, gold, and white light shot forth, and the Five Mountain Seal, Golden Ingot, and Qiankun Bag flew out in unison, striking towards the Red Hands Master.

Shen Luo's mana was nearly exhausted without the Cloud Array, and he could only barely activate these three magical instruments.

Although the Red Hands Master had just repelled Shen Luo and his two companions with the swing of his fan, his own mana consumption was also extremely severe. Seeing the three artifacts burgeoning towards him, his face showed astonishment and fury, and once again, he swung his flaming fan.

A bout of multicolored fire burst out, much thinner than before, rushing towards the three magical instruments.

The Five Mountains Seal and the golden ingot shone brightly, leading the way and colliding with the multicolored fire, causing a huge bang and being held there.

Shen Luo flung a spell, and a white rainbow suddenly ejected from a corner of the Five Mountains Seal, shooting out at a lightning speed, covering a distance of tens of feet to hit the Five-Fire Fan.

The Five-Fire Fan “cracked” once, condensing a layer of white ice crystals, but the palm of the Red Hands Master holding the fan was unharmed.

The spiritual light on the Five-Fire Fan suddenly completely disappeared, as if it had suddenly lost all its spirituality.

Greatly alarmed, the Red Hands Master hastily mobilized his mana, trying to activate the Five-Fire Fan to shatter the surrounding ice crystals.

However, the white rainbow suddenly receded, and a huge force fiercely erupted. The palm of the Red Hands Master felt hot, and the Five-Fire Fan shot out of his grip, and “Whoosh”, disappeared into the Qiankun Bag.

“My Five-Fire Fan! Give me back my fan!” Red Hands Master's face contorted, and disregarding everything, he lunged towards the Qiankun Bag.

A blue silhouette flashed inside the Qiankun Bag, and a blue flying sword shot out, stabbing towards Red Hands Master's head.

The Red Hands Master, shocked into alertness, flashed a red light in his hand, and a red short rod appeared to block the blue flying sword.

But at this moment, with a “click” from both ends of the flying sword, two slender sub-swords shot out, swiftly circling around Red Hands Master's neck.

Red Hands Master's neck tilted, and his head fell off. He fell to the ground with a thud.

Shen Luo's tense body relaxed, and with a “plop” sound, he also fell on his butt to the ground.

His mana was almost completely exhausted. He hurriedly took out a restoration pill and swallowed it. He sat cross-legged and began to refine it.

As strands of mana were produced in his Dantian, Shen Luo's pale face slowly returned to normal.

The state of the battle between Lu Huaming and Jing River Dragon King was still unclear, so he didn't dare to rest here for too long. He stood up as soon as he had restored half of his mana.

He first used the Art of Spirit Communication to send White Star back to the Eastern Sea, then put the Ghost General into the Qiankun Bag, and then came to the side of the corpse of the Red Hands Master.

He released a blue light, it brushed over the corpse of the Red Hands Master, and two items were rolled up in the blue light.

One of them was a dark red ring, Red Hands Master's storage magical instrument.

The other object was a palm-sized gray jade plate. One side was etched with a map which looked fragmented as if it was only a part of the complete map, and there were no markers on it, it was unclear what place it indicated.

The other side was inscribed with two symbols that looked like characters but weren't, looked like drawings but weren't, which Shen Luo couldn't recognize too.

This thing was found on Red Hands Master's person, apparently, he highly valued this thing, but he did not keep it in his storage magical instrument, which was quite strange.

He looked over the jade plate again, and since he could not figure it out, he put it into the Linlang Ring along with the storage ring.

After doing all this, Shen Luo casually took out a Blaze Talisman and cremated Red Hands Master's body, then he turned around and flew back the way he came.
