The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 650

Chapter 650: Chapter 646: Fight to the Death Chapter 650: Chapter 646: Fight to the Death Jiang Liu was knocked away, and the Purple Gold Bowl was affected; the purple golden light on it dimmed considerably.

The eyes of Zen Master Hai Shi and others brightened, immediately driving their magical treasures with full force.

The Dark Gold Walking Stick, the Golden Wooden Fish, the Azure Dharma Blade, and the Demon-subduing Staff radiated brightly, retaliating with all their might.

With a loud “bang”, the Purple Gold Bowl was knocked away.

The purple gold light spots binding the monks of Golden Mountain Temple crumbled away, and everyone's bodies regained their freedom.

Without any pause, Shen Luo shot out immediately after the strike; in an instant, he soared in front of the Purple Gold Bowl. He used the Heavenly Book's power, a golden shadow flashed across his body.

This Purple Gold Bowl was too powerful. If he wanted to subdue Jiang Liu, he must first collect this treasure.

The Purple Gold Bowl shook violently. It was about to be stored in the Heavenly Book Space. Suddenly, the light on the bowl erupted drastically. A profound force erupted; it managed to escape the Heavenly Book's capture and flew towards the five-colored sea of flames.

For the first time, Shen Luo failed to capture something with the Heavenly Book, furrowing his brows.

“It's you! You're not dead yet!” Jiang Liu's surprised voice arose from the five-colored sea of flames, seemingly devoid of any injury.

Before his voice fell, a loud “boom” echoed, a thick black light pillar rose from the five-colored sea of flames, reaching the sky. A black storm surged from the light pillar, sweeping around.

The black storm contained a thick demonic qi. The surrounding five-colored sea of flames contacted the black storm and immediately dissipated like fire meeting water.

Shen Luo was the closest to the black light pillar; despite the immediate withdrawal, he was still affected by the black storm and was swirled away.

He exerted the Nameless Cultivation Technique, his body enveloped in bright blue light, rotating rapidly around his body. Only then did he stabilize his figure and land on the ground.

Shen Luo recalled what Jiang Liu had just said, his eyes narrowed.

As he thought, Jiang Liu's intentions for them to go to Hei Feng Ao to get the Golden Phoenix Feathers were malicious; he deliberately concealed the strength of the Black Phoenix Demon. It seemed he wanted to use the Black Phoenix Demon to eliminate them.

He snorted coldly, didn't question Jiang Liu, but turned his head to the Golden Short Awl trapped by the purple Buddha beads on the side. Just as he was about to rush over, a sudden sense of danger struck his heart. He instantly retreated with the Moonlight Glamour radiating brightly from his feet.

The ground where he had stood cracked open, and a black and red giant hand emerged.

This hand was shiny black-red, with long black fingernails on the five fingers, and flashes of black fire, exuding a chilling demonic aura. It made a quick grasp, but unfortunately grasped nothing.

Not only Shen Luo, but the ground underneath Zen Master Hai Shi and the others also cracked at the same time. Four black and red devil's palms stretched out, reaching for the four.

Zen Master Hai Shi dodged, and pointed with his walking stick. A dark gold light shot out, shaking Elder Zhe Shi, who was beside him, flying out of the demon's palm's reach.

“Ah,” “Ah,” two screams rang out. The Hall Master Shi and Diao Mei Old Monk couldn't dodge and were caught squarely by the black and red demon's palm. Their protective light was like nothing in front of the demon's palm and was easily broken.

There was a “splat” sound, and two large bloody holes were grabbed from their bodies.

Fortunately, neither of them was weak. Despite being heavily injured, they forced themselves to wield the Dharma Blade and the Demon-subduing Staff and smashed the two devil's palms with two sounds of “bang” “bang”.

After the impact, they could no longer hold on and collapsed weakly on the ground.

There were still traces of black fire around the bloody holes in their bodies, spreading quickly. Where it passed, their flesh and blood retreated, revealing stark white bones.

The surrounding monks turned pale at this sight, all retreating, afraid of being contaminated by the black fire.

“Sinful barrier!” Zen Master Hai Shi was furious, waving his arms hastily.

Two golden lotus seeds shot out from his sleeve and quickly merged into the bodies of Elder Hall Shi and Diao Mei Old Monk. Instantly, an eye-catching golden halo sprang up around the two of them. They spun once, then transformed into two golden lotus flowers each about a yard in size, shielding the two of them.

The black flames on Elder Hall Shi and Diao Mei Old Monk's bodies ceased instantly, and so too did their screams.

Despite that, nearly half of their bodies had been consumed by the black flame, inflicting grievous injuries that incapacitated them.

“Take them down! Junior Brother Zhe Shi, activate the Vajra Annihilation Array!” Abbot Hai Shi spoke with a face filled with sorrow and anger, first instructing the surrounding monks, then sending a telepathic message to Elder Zhe Shi.

“The Vajra Annihilation Array! Senior Brother, do we really have to kill Jiang Liu? He is the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada.” Elder Zhe Shi hesitated, communicating by telepathy in return.

“Use the Annihilation Golden Light to suppress him, then we'll decide later!” Abbot Hai Shi slightly hesitated before replying telepathically.

Elder Zhe Shi nodded hurriedly then flew towards the Golden Mountain Temple.

Meanwhile, the other monks picked up Elder Hall Shi and Diao Mei Old Monk and hastily left the square.

Only then did Abbot Hai Shi raise his gaze to the black light pillar, filled with roiling demonic qi. His expression was mixed as he lifted his Dark Gold Walking Stick and struck down with all his might.

With a loud rumble, dozens of gigantic golden staff illusions appeared over the black light pillar, solidifying into a golden mountain. With one swift move, they slammed down on the black light pillar.

After a series of massive tremors, the black light pillar shattered abruptly.

But a black figure leap out and landed dozens of yards away, revealing Jiang Liu's silhouette.

His figure had drastically transformed again, taller in stature than before, his skin covered with black demonic patterns which looked eerily intimidating.

His breath surrounding him surged drastically, reaching the peak of Nascent Soul stage.

“What a powerful force, this is the strength of a demon!” Jiang Liu laughed wildly, revealing a slightly crazed expression.

Shen Luo, who had retreated a distance to dodge the Devil's Palm, felt a sinking sensation upon seeing Jiang Liu's transformation.

However, he soon recovered his composure and once again aimed for the golden short awl.

“Your magical treasure is indeed powerful, but do you think you can take it back now that it's been bound by me?” Jiang Liu's laughter abruptly stopped, his mouth curling into a smirk, before gesturing with his hand.

The string of purple Buddha beads immediately flew towards him at high speed. The golden short awl trapped inside the beads was also carried over.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo wrinkled his brow. Blue light flickered across his body as his speed increased dramatically, all the while crushing a stack of green talismans – the Thunderfall Talisman.

Roaring noises echoed through the air!

A dozen thick silver thunderbolts appeared out of thin air, like silver dragons leaping out of the water, they sliced through the air aiming towards Jiang Liu.

At the same time, without anyone noticing, a slender black figure fell from Shen Luo and stayed close to the ground, traveling around in a large circle towards Jiang Liu – it was the Returning Dragon Soul-Collecting Dart.

Jiang Liu saw the dozens of thunderbolts bearing down on him and his gaze became slightly more intense. He didn't dare to take this lightly, slashing through the air with his five fingers.

A dense black and red demonic qi surged out and instantly solidified into a massive black shield. A Demonic God with three heads and six arms was inscribed on it, covering overhead.

The dozen thick thunderbolts smashed into it, setting off a series of explosive thunderous noises; the black shield shattered in response, but the thunderbolts only flickered a few times before swiftly fading.

Although he had blocked the attack of the Thunderfall Talisman, the black and red light surrounding Jiang Liu dimmed slightly. It was evident that the black shield was not an ordinary method, requiring a great deal of vitality to perform, which resulted in the purple Buddha beads, flying back to him, slowing down.

Meanwhile, a red light shone beneath Shen Luo revealing a crimson Sword Radiance. His speed greatly increased with the unity of man and sword, looking like he was about to catch up with the beads.
