The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Slaying the Demon

Shen Luo felt that the Seven-Star Banner in his hand suddenly became unusually heavy, as if it had instantly transformed from a fabric banner into an iron one. He could hardly hold onto it.

He quietly activated the Small Transformation Yang Skill to increase his strength, managing with difficulty to lift it up.

At that moment, Luo Daoist gave a low shout. The Peach Wood Sword in his hand was released, morphing into a meteor-like red light. It moved at an astonishing speed, covering a distance of dozens of feet in an instant and stabbing into the Seven-Star Banner.

The yellow glow on the banner fluctuated, and the Peach Wood Sword surprisingly disappeared inside it. However, a crack suddenly appeared at the spot where the sword struck, and pitch-black darkness could be seen within the crack, as though it linked to some dark place.

Almost at the same time, a mournful scream came from the left wing of the courtyard. It was a woman’s voice, as if she had suffered some kind of injury. This caused everyone in the Ma Mansion to shudder, drawing closer to each other, none daring to make a noise.

Shen Luo, who had gained courage from his previous dream experiences, stayed put. But his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although the scream was mournful, there was no sign of weakening. It was clear that the person was injured but not dead.

“That’s not right! Taking a hit from the sword and still not dying!?” Luo Daoist exclaimed, his face filled with surprise.

At that moment, the scream suddenly transformed into a sharp roar.

The expression on Luo Daoist’s face solidified. He made a series of hand seals and waved his hands continuously as though he was controlling the Peach Wood Sword in the air.

A pounding collision sound echoed from the dried well inside the bamboo forest of the left wing, as if someone was engaged in battle below.

Clusters of dirty black energy gushed out from the wellhead, instantly engulfing the courtyard with a chilling atmosphere.

The temperature also plummeted in the main yard as a wave of coldness quickly spread out.

All the people from the Ma family were shocked. Someone shouted loudly, causing everyone to run in horror towards the right wing. Some of them were so panicked that they tripped over, creating a scene of wild disorder.

Glancing at the flustered Ma family members, Shen Luo was about to reassure them not to be afraid when-

At that moment, bubbling noises came from the crack inside the Seven-Star Banner in his hand. A surge of black energy gushed out, entwining itself around him in an instant.

He instantly experienced a chill followed by piercing pain all over his meridians, and half of his body went numb.

Startled, Shen Luo was about to counteract it with his magic techniques, but the Yang Gang Qi inside his body automatically reacted to the intrusion of the ghostly Qi, providing a protective shield around him.

A brilliant red light radiated from his body, pervading his entire being. It promptly isolated the black energy, dispelling most of the numbness.

“Damn it!”

Shen Luo’s heart jumped as he remembered Luo Daoist was nearby.

The Small Transformation Yang Skill he was displaying was far beyond the level of a novice.

However, acting on instinct, Shen Luo did not reduce the Yang Gang Qi. Instead, he let it circulate around him, guarding him against the ghostly Qi. He cast a sideways glance at Luo Daoist.

At that moment, Luo Daoist was performing a series of intricate hand seals as if he was in an intense battle himself. He seemed to be oblivious to what was happening here.

“Sinful creature, do you really believe I can’t exorcise you?”

Luo Daoist suddenly shouted, his two hands coming together. He made a swift swipe across his palm with some kind of sharp object, causing blood to rush forth and dye both his palms red.

A brilliant red light burst forth from both hands. However, the red light emanating from his left hand was more vibrant, filled with masculine energy, while that from his right hand was more composed, exuding a feminine softness.

With a “snap,” the two hands clasped together, forming a sword-finger hand seal. He began softly chanting a spell.

The red light from both hands immediately intertwined and merged into one.

As the sound of the sword echo from next door’s courtyard started, a red light shot out from the well in the bamboo forest, which was exactly the Peach Wood Sword, but it was tightly wrapped in strands of black Qi like tendrils.

Black Qi was surging in the well below, and more black Qi shot out from the well, swirling towards the Peach Wood Sword.

The Peach Wood Sword made a spinning movement, and two strands of red light suddenly rose from the sword’s body, intertwining with each other.

“Zing…” A clear sound, like metal clashing, an enormous red Qi Sword about a dozen feet long was condensed and emitted a bright and warm red light.

The black Qi entwining the Peach Wood Sword instantly evaporated, turned into nothingness.

The swirling black Qi, emitted by the Qi Sword, was touched by the warm red light and immediately melted quickly as if it were ice and snow under a scorching sun.

“Yin Yang Law Sword, Exorcise Ghosts and Demons!”

Luo Daoist dramatically widened his eyes, raised his hands high, and then fiercely brought them down in a slashing motion in the void.

In the courtyard next door, the red glow of the Qi Sword suddenly brightened, illuminating more than half of the yard in a red shimmer, then it struck down heavily, in sync with Luo Daoist’s movements.

“Hiss.” The black Qi floating in the courtyard was effortlessly sliced in half and quickly evaporated, disappearing.

The red Qi Sword disappeared without a trace in a blink, the next moment it appeared out of nowhere in front of the abandoned ancient well before striking down with a force that could shatter the heavens.

“Boom!” A thunderous noise!

The entire mouth of the abandoned well exploded, debris and dust flew into the air, and the ground was blown into a pit about a dozen feet deep.

The old locust tree next door was also blown down to the roots, falling to the ground.

“Ah!”

A shrill, ghastly scream rang out, causing a painful piercing sensation in the eardrums, but it quickly faded.

The Yin Qi that had enveloped the entire Ma Mansion was now slowly dissipating, the sunlight shining down made the mansion indescribably bright and warm, giving a feeling of seeing a clear sky after moving away the clouds.

No more black Qi was pouring out of the Seven-Star Banner, Shen Luo let out a sigh of relief, quickly circulated the Small Transformation Yang Skill, and completely dispelled the black Qi within his body.

The Mao family members who had fled in disarray from the courtyard also gradually noticed that the crisis had been lifted, all of them stopped running, and looked towards Luo Daoist and Shen Luo.

The red light enveloping Luo Daoist’s hands had now disappeared, his face looked slightly pale, but there was some excitement in his expression, he raised his hand and beckoned.

Just heard a “swoosh” and a red light flew back from the courtyard next door and landed in front of him. It was the Peach Wood Sword that had disappeared.

The red charm on the Peach Wood Sword was much less bright, it had clearly been greatly consumed, the Qi Sword around it had disappeared but on the tip of the sword, there was a red ghost shadow about three feet tall, which was a woman dressed in a red skirt.

The woman’s flesh and skin on her hands and feet were rotten and in many places revealed stark white bones, which was very disgusting. Her face was relatively intact and pretty looking with a bright red mole between her eyebrows, but her eyes were filled with ferocious and violent light. She roared furiously at Luo Daoist and struggled vigorously, trying to break free from the Peach Wood Sword’s restraint.

However, this female ghost had no ghostly power inside her body which had become almost transparent, as if it could dissipate at any moment. No matter how hard she tried, she could never leave the Peach Wood Sword even a bit.

Shen Luo curiously examined this Red-Skirted Female Ghost, and quietly compared it with the long-haired ghost in the dreamland. Indeed, the ghost in the dreamland was much more terrifying.

But judging by power, the ghost in front of them was naturally more formidable.

“Sin barrier, surrender yourselves! Collect!”

Luo Daoist shouted, and with a flick of his hand, he took out a Small Black Cloth Bag from his chest, pinching spells with the other.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
