The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 857

Chapter 857: Chapter 854: Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea Chapter 857: Chapter 854: Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea Shen Luo concentrated and gave a closer look, his expression changing slightly.

He saw a pitch-black shield as dark as ink appear before him, which, although it didn't seem particularly strong, managed to block the giant claw's strike.

At that moment, the blue ice encasing Ma Xiuxiu shattered with a “bang,” and then the woman's figure swayed and transformed into a dragon-shaped blue shadow that vanished into thin air.

The next moment, hundreds of feet away next to the Jade Purification Bottle, the void rippled and Ma Xiuxiu's figure silently appeared and “whooshed” into the bottle.

“Hee hee, I didn't expect Brother Shen to have such formidable strength now. This little girl won't accompany you any further and will take her leave for now,” Ma Xiuxiu's voice came from inside the Jade Purification Bottle before it too disappeared without a trace.

Her series of actions was as quick as lightning, and Shen Luo was unable to stop her.

Meanwhile, the three streaks of blue light Shen Luo had released had only just arrived, with two missing their target and only the last one wrapping around Wei Qing's body.

“Just now, that was the Dragon Swimming Evasion Technique! Brother Shen, be careful, that Liu Qing might be from the East Sea Dragon Palace!” Yuan Qiu immediately spoke from within the Heavenly Book Space, his tone carrying a hint of respect.

Shen Luo's current strength might have been temporary, but the immense potential he had shown had already caused Yuan Qiu to feel reverence.

Frowning upon hearing this, Shen Luo waved his sleeve.

The streak of blue light enveloped Wei Qing's body and rapidly flew back.

“Leave the body!” At this moment, a sonorous voice, metallic in nature and grating to the ear, came from ahead.

Before the voice had faded, a black beast head appeared on the black shield, it opened its mouth to expel something.

A mass of black sound waves burst forth, initially silent, but quickly erupted into an earth-shattering boom, enveloping the red giant claw within it.

The red giant claw trembled violently, its light flashing wildly, as the blended forces of wind and fire became incredibly unstable.

Shen Luo's expression changed; he was about to cast a spell to stabilize it, but it was already too late.

With a “thunderous” boom, the red giant claw exploded entirely, turning into countless remnants of wild flames and winds scattering in every direction.

The black sound waves continued to advance, now enveloping the streak of blue light.

The blue light immediately became dim and blurred, tearing and collapsing in an instant, causing Wei Qing's body to fall towards the ground below.

The series of events might sound complicated, but in reality, they occurred in the blink of an eye.

Shen Luo's gaze flashed as he used the Moon Shadow technique to transform into a lingering image, pouncing towards Wei Qing's body. But just as he moved, a blue shadow beside Wei Qing flickered, and a figure had already appeared out of nowhere, grabbing Wei Qing's body.

Wei Qing's body shook and then disappeared without a trace.

Shen Luo's pupils constricted, and he immediately halted in his tracks.

The blue shadow also revealed its true form: a tall man dressed in black armor with blue double wings on his back.

This man's face bore an eightfold resemblance to Wei Qing, except he had a slightly pointed nose and somewhat stubby hands and feet. However, the muscles on his body were like ancient vines wrapped around old trees, seemingly containing endless strength.

Shen Luo glanced at the newly appeared Wei Qing, feeling a sense of shock in his heart.

This newly reborn Wei Qing seemed to have combined features of the Turtle Diagram and the Wind Breath from the Demon Race, and the Demon Clan's secret technique for modifying bodies was exceedingly profound.

Even though divine sense was suppressed in this place, preventing a clear perception of his cultivation realm, Shen Luo, relying on his intuition, felt that Wei Qing at this moment was extremely terrifying and was no longer the same person as before.

“Hmph, you also dare to covet my body,” Wei Qing looked at Shen Luo with disdain in his eyes.

“It's natural for Your Excellency to reclaim your body, but there is one thing I always fail to understand, why would Daoist Wei, being an elite disciple of Mount Putuo, choose to defect to the Demon Clan?” Shen Luo did not get angry, but instead asked calmly.

“My affairs are none of your concern. Where is Nie Caizhu? Let her hand over the Yangliu Branch, and I might spare your lives!” Wei Qing looked around with a deep voice.

The look in Shen Luo's eyes shifted. Wei Qing had been fixated on the Yangliu Branch from the beginning. Was the Yangliu Branch so important to him?

“Is that so? What a pity. Just now, the Protector took Cai Zhu and the others and left this place. If you want the Yangliu Branch, I'm afraid Your Excellency will have to search Mount Putuo,” Shen Luo said with a smile on his face while communicating with the Black Bear Demon through his mind, telling it to hide Nie Caizhu and the others as soon as possible.

“What!” Wei Qing's expression changed, and he immediately turned into a verdant afterimage, shooting towards the island's exit.

A glint of joy flashed in Shen Luo's eyes. Although the reformed Wei Qing had greatly increased in strength, his head seemed to have diminished in sharpness. If he could deceive him into leaving for a while, Shen Luo could take the opportunity to do some things.

His figure swayed slightly, ready to take action.

However, at that moment, Wei Qing suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Shen Luo, his eyes shooting out a vicious light.

“You dare to deceive me!”

Shen Luo slightly raised his eyebrows, looking around with a smile.

“It seems Miss Ma is still here, why not show yourself?”

As Shen Luo spoke, his heart was on alert. He silently operated the Nameless Cultivation Technique to sense the moisture in the surroundings, trying his best to locate Ma Xiuxiu.

“Prepare to die!” Wei Qing shouted angrily, his figure abruptly turning into a verdant shadow that rushed forward.

Before his figure arrived, a misty green gust of wind howled towards him, spreading out into fierce cyclones that connected to the sky and the earth, lifting the sea water below and rolling towards Shen Luo.

Shen Luo faced the towering cyclones with no change in his expression and pointed at the Purple Gold Bell with a gesture.

A red light burst forth from the Fire Bell, and a surge of flames that reached the sky erupted, colliding head-on with the misty green wind.

Although the towering cyclones were filled with Demon Qi and had an imposing momentum, how could they compare to the flames produced by the Purple Gold Bell? With a sizzling noise, the entire cyclone was engulfed and swallowed by the flames.

Shen Luo poured more Mana into the Purple Gold Fire Bell, and the blazing surge of flames suddenly intensified several folds, rolling towards Wei Qing's figure.

Wei Qing didn't have Guanyin's Treasure in his hands. He wanted to see what the other party was relying on to act so arrogantly.

Facing the soaring red flames, Wei Qing's charging figure did not slow down one bit; he flew directly into them.

Seeing this, Shen Luo showed a hint of surprise on his face, but since the other party had charged straight into the attack range of the Purple Gold Bell, he naturally did not hesitate. He immediately pointed at the Purple Gold Bell.

The sky of flames quickly converged from all sides, gathered into a bundle, and shot up towards the sky. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge pillar of fire tens of feet high, trapping Wei Qing inside and burning fiercely.

Wei Qing's escaping figure hit the edge of the pillar of fire and was repelled back with a thump.

Shen Luo's eyes turned cold as he pointed at the Wind Bell with a gesture, and a yellow storm roared out, merging into the towering pillar of fire.

Boom! The flames on the pillar of fire suddenly intensified, spewing out thick tongues of fire. The original pillar of fire, already tens of feet high, swelled more than ten times in an instant. The temperature within the pillar of fire increased tenfold, and even the Void shook from the heat.

“Merely flames, you think they can harm me?” Wei Qing laughed coldly. The Black Armor on his body shone, and a rise of inky demonic light formed a Black Light Shield around him, isolating the extreme heat from around.
