The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 120: Chapter 119 Night Run

Caught off guard, he could only muster his mana to protect his arm, intending to take the hit head-on.

However, at that moment, a white light darted from below his arm, hitting the monster dog’s head with a “bang”.

The monster dog let out a mournful howl, its body flipped backward and rolling on the ground.

Turning around, Bai Xiaotian saw that it was Shen Luo who had manipulated his Talisman Trident, saving him from the attack.

A smile flashed across his face. He swung his hand, and with a flash of red light from his sleeve, a Copper Coin Talisman Sword shot out, brushing past Shen Luo’s trident and directly stabbing toward the monster dog.

Shen Luo, on the other hand, raised his hand and urged his Talisman Trident to spin in mid-air, turning around and plunging straight towards another monster dog that was pouncing on him.

This monster dog was larger than the other two, and it had an additional white vertical stripe in the middle of its forehead, which made it look as if it had a third eye.

Seeing this, Shen Luo couldn’t help but think of the Three-eyed Demon Fox.

Seeing the Talisman Trident hurtling straight toward it, the monster dog’s faint green eyes flickered slightly. It suddenly opened its bloody mouth and sprayed forth, a dark green hose of Water Arrows shot out with a “swoosh”, hitting the trident.

The surface of the Talisman Trident immediately sizzled, and instantly started to smoke.

Shen Luo’s heart constricted as he found the connection between his mana and the trident became sporadic.

The Talisman Trident in mid-air also began to wobble uncontrollably.

The monster dog easily evaded the trident, leaped up, and pounced on Shen Luo.

It was too late for Shen Luo to redirect the Trident back.

He made a snap decision, abandoned the Trident, and as the monster dog pounced, Shen Luo instantly lowered his body, gathered his Yang Gang power and punched upwards at its abdomen.

There was a muffled “bang” sound, and Shen Luo’s hand was stinging, as if he had smashed it against an iron board.

Although the monster dog was blasted away, it was undamaged. After landing, it twisted its body and pounced at Shen Luo again.

Knowing he was no match for it, Shen Luo could only dodge.

“Boom…”

At that moment, a thunderous explosion came from Bai Xiaotian’s direction not far away. A ball of fire rushed into the sky, illuminating the Wilderness Racing Road.

The monster dog seemed to be a bit disoriented by the sudden brightness, and its movements started to slow down as its pupils contracted.

Shen Luo took the opportunity to sidestep and glanced at Bai Xiaotian.

He saw Bai Xiaotian wielding the Copper Coin Sword, engaged in close combat with another monster dog. A fiery glow lit up the ground beside him, seeming to be the aftermath of some talisman explosion.

Next to the flame, another monster dog lay with its body charred black, already blown into two pieces.

Shen Luo’s spirits were lifted. He took a glance at his Trident fallen a few steps away, took a deep breath in secret, and decided to rush towards the monster dog, imitating Bai Xiaotian’s tactic.

Enraged, the monster dog leaped into the air, pouncing at him.

Of course, Shen Luo couldn’t use the Seven Stars Gang Step, nor could his speed compare to Bai Xiaotian’s.

However, after taking three steps, he suddenly let out a low yell, exerts force on his feet to leap upwards, and managed to jump higher than the monster dog. Meanwhile, his hand with the talisman, slammed down heavily onto the monster dog’s forehead.

There was a deafening “boom”!

A white bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, and violently struck the monster dog in the head, knocking it straight down.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Luo formed a magic spell with both his hands, shouting loudly: “Up!”

The Talisman Fork on the ground immediately lit up with white light and shot straight up into the sky with a “whoosh”, piercing straight through the monster dog’s heart.

Yet the monster dog did not immediately fall. It instead, due to its severe injury, became ferociously rampant, opening its mouth once again to spray at Shen Luo, a continuous spray of dark green juice. As it fell to the ground, it created clouds of smoke.

Shen Luo retreated again and again, constantly dodging.

The monster dog struggled to chase a few steps, finally falling down, its body convulsing a few times, then it ceased to move.

Shen Luo summoned the Talisman Fork back to his hand, looked at it carefully, and found signs of pockmarks and corrosion on it. The color of the talisman wrapped around its tail had also become increasingly faint, and he felt a pang of distress.

He turned to look in Bai Xiaotian’s direction, intending to lend a hand, but saw that Bai Xiaotian had already beheaded the other monster dog and was wiping off the filthy blood from his sword.

Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to the monster dog’s side, found its abdomen, stabbed the Talisman Fork in, and tore open a wound, rummaging around inside.

“Shen Luo, what are you doing?” Bai Xiaotian, who had also walked over by this point, asked in surprise.

“Isn’t it said that the abdomen of all monsters contain demon pellets? I’m looking to see.” Shen Luo replied.

“Don’t waste your effort. Such a low level of cultivation, barely any spiritual wisdom developed, how could this creature possibly have a demon pellet?” Bai Xiaotian said with mixed laughter and tears.

“What do you mean, does the demon pellet require the cultivation of Tao to have?” Shen Luo asked confusedly.

“I’m not entirely sure either, but I know for a fact that this kind of monster dog won’t have a demon pellet. How much strength are you hiding, this monster dog was even tougher than the two I killed.” Bai Xiaotian looked at the monster dog and remarked.

“What was that fire back there? Did you use some kind of Thunder talisman?” Standing up straight, Shen Luo asked again.

“That was a Burst Talisman, not really a Thunder Talisman, it’s a type of Fire Talisman.” Bai Xiaotian said casually.

“I see. Are there any more? Could you give me a dozen or so for self-defense?” Shen Luo joked.

“Don’t even think about it. I only have one left. Let’s not delay any longer, we should hurry on our way.” Bai Xiaotian gave him a side eye and remarked.

Having said that, the two of them looked around and realized their horse had disappeared.

They had to chase for two more miles before they found the frightened horse again. They mounted the horse and continued to head towards Song Fan County.

After another ten miles or so, they heard the distant sound of splashing water: they had arrived at the shores of Bailian River.

“Bailian is up ahead. After crossing, two more hours and we’ll be out of Chunhua county’s territory.” Shen Luo reined the horse, pointing to the distant river bank, and said.

Bai Xiaotian also stopped his horse, following his gaze, but his expression changed slightly.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing the change in his face, Shen Luo quickly asked.

“There’s someone over there.” Bai Xiaotian said in a low voice.

Shen Luo rubbed his eyes and looked carefully over there, only to see a person standing by the stone arch bridge, wearing a bamboo hat, leaning against the bridge’s stone pillar, apparently waiting for someone.

Although there was moonlight at night, the distance was slightly far, and with Shen Luo’s eyesight, he could not see the person’s face clearly. However, he vaguely felt that the silhouette of the person looked somewhat familiar.

He exchanged a glance with Bai Xiaotian, lightly shook the reins, and urged the horse towards the bridge.
