Chapter 635: Chapter 631: Gambling Duel Chapter 635: Chapter 631: Gambling Duel A white small bag mysteriously appeared by Shen Luo, which was the Nine Yin Pouch. A peculiar, cold white light shot out from the opening of the bag, entangling the Yellow Demon-Subduing Jade Pestle of the Diao Mei Old Monk and the Azure Dharma Blade of Hall Master Shi.

A thick layer of white ice crystals immediately formed on the Demon-Subduing Jade Pestle and Azure Dharma Blade, causing the two magical instruments to falter.

With a wave of Shen Luo's right hand, he once again activated the Heavenly Book's capturing power. A golden shadow flashed by, causing the Yellow Demon-Subduing Jade Pestle and Azure Dharma Blade to disappear without a trace.

Meanwhile, his left hand was not idle. A red light flashed through his palm, revealing a Red Feather Fan, the Five-Fire Fan, which he fiercely fanned towards Hall Master Shi.

The seven spirit feathers on the Five-Fire Fan burst forth with a bright light, opening up like a peacock spreading its feathers. Then, a five-colored flame pillar shot out from the surface of the fan, ruthlessly striking Hall Master Shi.

The golden light on Hall Master Shi's body flickered wildly, manifesting signs of weakening. The five-colored flame pillar even radiated an exceptional heat that poured into his body.

Hall Master Shi's face turned drastically. He operated the Vajra Subduing Demon Great Method with all his might and his body's golden light thickened, managing to stabilize himself.

But at this exact moment, a crimson Sword Qi as thin as a needle shot out from the flame pillar. With a hissing sound, it pierced through the protective golden light, striking his forehead.

However, Hall Master Shi's body was extremely sturdy at this moment. The Sword Qi snapped upon impact, but a semi-transparent dark red flame shot out from the Sword Qi, a strand of Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which slithered into Hall Master Shi's forehead like a poisonous snake.

It felt as if Hall Master Shi's divine soul was savagely bitten by a poisonous snake. Caught off guard, he let out a scream, involuntarily clutching his head. His face contorted in pain, unable to operate his skills.

At this moment, the five-colored flame pillar shattered with a bang, transforming into a giant five-colored sun, fiercely slamming into Hall Master Shi.

The golden light on Hall Master Shi's body immediately vanished completely. He was flung back like he was harshly hit by a meteor, crashing into a wall, even spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Diao Mei Old Man was also affected by the five-colored sun. But since he was further away, he was uninjured but similarly flung away.

The site fell silent immediately. Everyone stared at Shen Luo in shock.

From the moment Hall Master Shi gave the order to attack till now, only a few breaths of time had passed. Everyone's magical instruments were taken away by Shen Luo and Hall Master Shi was even defeated with just one strike.

This was simply a direct crush!

Lu Huaming also looked at Shen Luo in shock. Just how powerful had Shen Luo become?

Abbot Hai Shi also looked at Shen Luo, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Shen Luo exhaled lightly, the displeasure in his heart fully dissipating. He swept a glance at the monks around him, about to turn and return to his original position.

“You've got some skills. Take my attack and see!” A clear childlike voice suddenly rang out from an unknown location.

Before the voice even died down, a Purple Gold Bowl appeared out of thin air above Shen Luo's head.

The edge of the inside of the bowl radiated a purplish-gold glow, rotating and covering him.

Though the purplish-gold glow within the bowl wasn't glaring, Shen Luo felt an overwhelming pressure. The blue light on his body intensified and was instantly dispersed.

“This is a magical treasure!” His face suddenly changed. Shooting forth Moonlight Glamour from both his feet, his figure blurred into a vague afterimage, trying to escape the area quickly.

However, the Purple Gold Bowl kept following Shen Luo's movement, always targeting him. No matter how fast Shen Luo moved, he could not shake it off and it descended even faster.

Seeing that he could not dodge it, Shen Luo halted his moving figure. The fire of the Five-Fire Fan in his hand flared up as he fanned it viciously at the bowl in mid-air.

The crisp cry of the phoenix shot straight into the sky, a Five-Color Fire Phoenix, several tens of feet in size, shot out from the fan, spreading its wings to collide with the Purple Gold Bowl.

He hadn't fully activated the power of the Five-Fire Fan while dealing with Hall Master Shi just now; after all, just giving him a hard blow to vent his anger potentially severely injuring him wouldn't look good.

With a “boom” sound, a halo emerged out of nowhere, filled with multi-colored rune lights. Although it was far less dazzling than the five-colored sun before, the aura it exuded was incredibly formidable, leaving everyone present struggling to catch their breath.

The Purple Gold Bowl was held up by the five-colored halo, unable to continue downward for the time being.

Shen Luo, whose feet were brightly lit by moonlight, seized the opportunity to retreat and finally escaped from the cover of the Purple Gold Bowl.

His body felt light, as if he had been freed from some invisible constraint.

“So that's how it is, this Purple Gold Bowl relies on this invisible force to lock onto its target,” he exclaimed in relief; his body flickered and vanished, appearing next to Lu Huaming the next moment.

“Hmm!” The childlike voice rang out again, and at the same time, the Purple Gold Bowl brightened, a beam of purple gold light shot out from within, striking the five-colored halo below.

The five-colored halo merely paused for a moment, then it was torn apart as though it was rotting wood being pulled apart, before finally dissipating completely.

The Purple Gold Bowl spun round and round before continuing to chase after Shen Luo.

Seeing this, Shen Luo was taken aback and immediately communicated with the Golden Dragon Cone within him.

Although the Five-Fire Fan is an extremely powerful top-grade magical artifact, it is still inferior when faced with magical treasures.

“Jiang Liu, that's enough!” At this moment, Abbot Hai Shi sternly interrupted, raising his hand and waving.

A dark gold light, like a bolt of lightning, shot out – it was a dark golden walking stick that collided with the Purple Gold Bowl, emitting a ringing sound and causing the nearby void to ripple with disorderly shockwaves.

This dark golden walking stick appeared to be a magical treasure as well, as it managed to hold up the Purple Gold Bowl.

There was a flash of light inside the Purple Gold Bowl, and Jiang Liu's figure unexpectedly burst forth from the bowl, landing on the ground.

“Elder Hai Shi, I have always respected you as an abbot, and we have usually kept our affairs to ourselves. Why have you used your powers to intervene in my affairs today for the sake of two outsiders?” Jiang Liu asked discontentedly.

“The incident that year was just an accident. Besides, the fact that these two know about it won't harm you much. Why do you insist on guarding this so strictly?” Hai Shi, sighing, called back his dark golden walking stick and said.

“I don't need you to decide for me.” Jiang Liu said with a huff.

Hearing up to this point, Shen Luo roughly guessed what happened, Jiang Liu had kept a secret due to the previous invasion of the demon, a secret that made him reluctant to go to Chang'an. At the same time, he didn't want the secret to be known to outsiders, so he was trying so hard to drive Shen Luo and Lu Huaming away.

“Master Jiang Liu, I do not know exactly why you are unwilling to go to Chang'an. However, there are countless aggrieved souls in Chang'an City urgently waiting for salvation. How about this, we will have a duel. If I lose, Lu and I will leave immediately, never to return; if I win by chance, Master Jiang Liu, you should reveal the reason why you are reluctant to go to Chang'an, how about it?” After pondering for a moment, Shen Luo then said.

“A duel? Alright! How do you want to duel?” Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's eyes lit up with anticipation. He seemed extremely interested in the duel and immediately responded.

“Master Jiang Liu, you are highly cultivated and possess the powerful magical treasure, the Purple Gold Bowl. Your defense must be extraordinary. Master, stand there and bear my three attacks. If I can force you to step back, I win. If I can't, I lose,” Shen Luo said.

“Alright.” Master Jiang Liu heard the rules for the duel, hesitated for no moment, nodded right away, and then waved his hand.

The Purple Gold Bowl was suspended above his head, a Purple Gold Light swept down, encasing his body.

“Now you can go. Come on.” The Master Jiang Liu seemed very confident about the purple golden light, he didn't summon any more defenses, and immediately beckoned.
