Chapter 559: Chapter 555: Saving Emperor Tang (IV) Chapter 559: Chapter 555: Saving Emperor Tang (IV) “Curb your insolence, thief!” A flash of anger flickered in the eyes of the Jing River Dragon King as he turned towards the three thunderbolts cast his way, and he opened his mouth to counter.

A thick, golden dragon flame sprayed from his mouth, interspersed with an eerie black and green light. This flamboyant display of power collided with the three thunderbolts.

With a sizzling sound, the thunderbolts, like fire meeting water, flashed a few times, then turned into green smoke and vanished into thin air.

With a pinch of a spell from the dragon king's left hand, the countless golden awl shadows originally directed at Shen Luo's body immediately changed their course to strike the incoming magical instruments.

After a series of loud clashes, the three magical instruments were completely destroyed, bursting apart.

Shen Luo's expression remained calm. It seemed as if the destruction of the magic objects didn't distress him in the least. He chanted under his breath, a grand radiance of moonlight gleaming at his feet, accompanied by the emergence of strands of green light around him. In an instant, he disappeared.

The next moment he reappeared several meters behind the Jing River Dragon King, his hands again waving out.

Hundreds of talismans were densely shot out, turning into small thunders and flames, forming a sea of thunderfire several meters in size, surging towards the Jing River Dragon King.

Unnoticed by anyone, a small, dull-red sword emitting subdued sword light, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, shot out from Shen Luo's sleeve, blending into the sea of thunderfire, flying towards the Dragon King.

Although these Small Thunder Talismans and Blaze Talismans had relatively small individual power, hundreds of them combined exploded with terrifying thunder and fire fluctuations.

The Jing River Dragon King, caught off guard by Shen Luo's sudden appearance, was harshly struck by the sea of thunderfire. His body shuddered, and his protective light was significantly scattered. His back was even scorched, leaving a large charred wound.

Caught off guard and meeting the attack head-on, the Azure Dragon sword, which was blocking Lu Huaming, showed a moment of disorder.

Lu Huaming, who was confronting him, had his eyes shine brightly. With his two hands making a wheel-like gesture, the Dragon Slaying Sword emitted intense golden light. A dragon-shaped golden light shot out from his sword and wrapped around the Azure Dragon sword.

At the same time, the Dragon Slaying Sword's radiance illuminated, and a crescent-shaped sword light, a dozen meters long, shot out and cleaved towards the Jing River Dragon King's neck.

“You're seeking death!” The Jing River Dragon King bellowed furiously, his right hand radiating golden light as it made a fast lunge.

His hand instantly transformed into a terrifying dragon claw, which summarily clutched the sword light ejected by the Dragon Slaying Sword and crushed it in a firm grip.

He subsequently opened his mouth, spewing out a glob of dragon element that merged into the golden awl in a flash.

The golden awl radiated intense golden light, erupting with a terrifying piercing sound before piercing explosively into the cycle of thunder and fire and vanishing.

Almost at the same time, gold light flashed on the other side of the sea of thunder and fire, and a golden remnant shadow shot out at an incredible speed, striking the chest of Shen Luo before he could react and instantly piercing through it.

A bowl-sized bloody hole appeared in Shen Luo's chest, his heart was torn to pieces, and blood splattered like a violent rain.

A smirk of satisfaction appeared on the face of the Jing River Dragon King as he was just about to shift his gaze away from Shen Luo and focus on dealing with Lu Huaming.

However, just at this moment, a dazzling silver light radiated from Shen Luo's body. The hole in his chest mysteriously disappeared, leaving his chest smooth and unblemished, with no trace of any wound.

He made a sword sign with his hands and pointed.

Bright red light flashed in the sea of thunderfire next to the Jing River Dragon King. A small red sword flew out in an electric manner, piercing the scorch mark on the river King's back with a puff sound.

“What!” The Jing River Dragon King's face changed. He immediately operated the demon power within his body, his body's black and gold light brightly exploding. His body muscles trembled, vibrating like a shaking sheet of iron, attempting to dislodge the red small sword.

“Rise!” Shen Luo's hand was continuously changing seals, and he shouted softly.

Red light burst from the small sword, and a multitude of Red Lotus karmic fire swarmed out from the red sword, forming a big chunk of Red Lotus flames as big as a basin, which then merged into the Jing River Dragon King's body.

“The Red Lotus Karmic Fire!” A look of horror flashed in the eyes of the Jing River Dragon King.

During the previous battle at the golden river in Chang'an city, although Shen Luo had brought out the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, it hadn't been nurtured for long and thus was not very powerful. Its full potential was not unleashed, and the Jing River Dragon King's focus was on obtaining the Dragon Head and did not pay attention to Shen Luo owning this fire.

The Jing River Dragon King roared loudly, his body radiating a tumultuous golden-black light, forming a vertical beam dozens of feet long. This golden-black light pillar rapidly rotated and flickered as he put his all into forcing out the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that had merged into his body.

If he were in his full dragon form, relying on his profound mana, he might have succeeded. However, the Jing River Dragon King had only managed to reclaim his dragon head. Most of his body was still in spirit form, tightly restrained by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Far from being forced out, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, with a swoosh, integrated even deeper into his body, along with the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

“Explode!” Shen Luo spread his hands, forming a lotus-shaped Dharma seal, bellowing out.

A muffled explosion resounded from within the golden-black light pillar, shooting red lotus flames from all angles, burning large holes through the light pillar.

The light pillar trembled violently, and soon, with a loud bang, shattered entirely.

A streak of black light shot out from it, transforming into a black long rainbow, darting towards the distance.

Shen Luo waved his hand to recall the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, intending to chase after it with his sword, but the black long rainbow moved at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, it had flown several miles away. Obviously, a pursuit was out of the question, so Shen Luo halted.

A streak of golden light shot out from the side to chase after the black long rainbow – it was the golden short awl magical treasure.

Possibly because Jing River Dragon King was injured, the light emanating from the golden awl was significantly dimmer, its speed nowhere near as swift as before.

Shen Luo's eyes gleamed, and he immediately cast a spell with a wave of his hand.

The Qiankun Bag at his waist flew up instantaneously, unleashing a long white rainbow that swept up the golden short awl.

The awl was immediately encased in a thick layer of white ice crystal, dimming the golden light emitted by it once again. Meanwhile, a powerful suction force blasted out from the Qiankun Bag, firmly holding the golden short awl in place.

Shen Luo produced a blue light with his right hand, which enveloped the golden short awl, struggling to restrain the treasure. However, the golden short awl continued to shake violently, attempting to break free of Shen Luo's restraint.

At this moment, a thick sword shadow descended from above, slashing at the black long rainbow in the distance. With one blow, it severed nearly half of the rainbow, eliciting a bitter roar from within.

But the black long rainbow, incredibly resilient, accelerated several times over and vanished into the distant horizon in an instant.

“You two thieves, the grudge of these two swords, we will settle in the future!” The furious voice of the Jing River Dragon King echoed from afar. His voice weak and strained, he had clearly suffered severe injuries.

As Jing River Dragon King escaped, the golden short awl lost all its power. No longer resisting, the Qiankun Bag sucked it in with a whoosh.

A worried Shen Luo quickly activated the prohibitions within the Qiankun Bag, wrapping the golden short awl layer by layer. After instructing the Ghost General to carefully guard it, he finally relaxed, dropping from mid-air.

The surrounding six-sided prohibition around the nearby altar flickered at this moment, suddenly issued a muffled sound and crumbled into dust, revealing the figures of Miss Li and her party.

“Master Shen is truly impressive, possessing the Red Lotus Karmic Fire; you are bound to achieve great things in the future. I will leave this place in your and Young Nephew Lu's hands. I must first take His Majesty and these two young friends and leave.” Miss Li nodded at Shen Luo and then, clutching the Emperor with one hand and casting a beam of white light with the other, she swept up Xie Yuxin and Ge Tianqing's bodies. She shot towards a white light gate not far away, went through it, and just like that, was gone with an impressive efficiency.

As soon as their figures disappeared, the white light gate wavered slightly and quickly vanished entirely, as though it had never been there.

Just as Shen Luo was about to ask Yuan Tiangang whether they should pursue the Jing River Dragon King, the man surprisingly turned and walked away, leaving Shen Luo standing there in confusion.

Just then, a flash of golden light in mid-air revealed Lu Huaming's figure as he descended from above as well.

His body was swathed in a rapidly weakening white light.

The hazy human figure behind him flickered a few times and also vanished.

The colossal aura swirling around Lu Huaming rapidly faded, returning to its previous state in a matter of a few breaths. He then collapsed onto the ground with a thud, his face deathly pale and his body shaking like a sieve.
