The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Merging

When they were almost in front of him, the man suddenly stood up straight, walked step by step to the front of the White Crossing Bridge, and stood still in the middle of the road, blocking their path.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian had a slightly condensed expression, and at the same time, they tightened the reins and stopped.

“Two junior brothers, where are you rushing off to?” A clear and pleasant woman’s voice came out from under the bamboo hat.

“Gu Hualing…” Shen Luo’s expression changed slightly, and he blurted out.

The person lifted her hand, removed the bamboo hat and threw it aside, revealing a lovely and charming young girl’s face.

She was dressed in a round-necked white robe with a jade belt around her waist. She was entirely in a man’s outfit. However, her slender body and graceful posture with purple short hair still retained a woman’s appearance.

At first glance, it was somewhat unconventional, but on a second look, there was an unusually playful charm about her.

“Both of you are intelligent. I’ll cut to the chase. Who possesses the ‘Pure Yang Scripture’? If you hand it over generously, considering our past friendship as fellow disciples, I could spare your lives.” Gu Hualing said with a blithe smile.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for not killing us. Is this appearance of yours that of a male demon or a female demon? I don’t know what the ‘Pure Yang Scripture’ is?” Bai Xiaotian looked her up and down without any fear.

“Junior Brother Shen, what do you say?” Gu Hualing’s eyelid twitched slightly, but she didn’t make a move immediately. Instead, she asked him.

“Senior Brother Gu, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. What is this ‘Pure Yang Scripture’? Could you describe it to me!” Shen Luo continued to play dumb, stalling for time while calculating the strengths of the two sides.

Of course, he didn’t believe in Gu Hualing’s ghostly talk about sparing their lives. His hidden hand in his sleeve was already gripping the Talisman Fork.

Seeing this, Gu Hualing gave a soft sigh. Suddenly, a purple light flickered on her body. She instantly returned to her purple dress. Two petite bone wings also spread out from her back, and her eyes gradually grew cold.

“People and demons are different. I didn’t expect Senior Brother Gu to be such an alluring demon. Normally, I’m the one who can’t resist temptation, but unfortunately, I don’t have that ‘Pure Yang Scripture’.” Bai Xiaotian’s eyes lit up, he rubbed his chin with his left hand and praised her.

Seeing that Bai Xiaotian was also tactically stalling, Shen Luo was about to signal to attack together, but he noticed that Bai Xiaotian’s right-hand fingers had subtly pointed at something.

He then glanced at the back of Bai Xiaotian’s horse and found a yellow paper charm lying there.

Shen Luo immediately got the hint. He urged his horse to come to Bai Xiaotian’s side and quietly slipped the “Burst Talisman” into his sleeve.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

The ground under Shen Luo and others suddenly cracked open, and two white bone skulls popped out from below. They held bone spears and thrust them upwards. The spear tips pierced through the horse’s belly, gushing out blood.

Bai Xiaotian and Shen Luo reacted quickly. Their bodies tilted back at almost the same time and two bloody bone spear tips pierced out right in front of them.

Although they had evaded the fatal strike, the horses they were riding on were pierced through, causing them to be tossed off their backs as the horses neighed and kicked up their hooves.

As soon as Shen Luo landed and had not yet stabilized, the two white bone skulls dropped their bone spears and pounced on him.

He hastily retreated and had no time to manipulate the Talisman Fork. He could only grab and shake it to fend off the dry claws of the white bone skulls.

At this moment, a purple shadow suddenly flashed. Like a ghostly specter, Gu Hualing rushed to his front and clawed at his heart.

Seeing the situation was bad, Bai Xiaotian chased after them with a step of Firmament Step. He held the Talisman Sword with the same hand and stabbed directly at Gu Hualing’s heart from behind.

Gu Hualing seemed unbothered by Bai Xiaotian’s attack from behind, as if she was determined to take down Shen Luo first.

Just as Bai Xiaotian was about to pierce her with his sword, the two bone wings on her back suddenly contracted like two shields, with a “crack” sound blocking the Bronze Money Sword. One of her hands had already swiftly clawed towards Shen Luo’s face like a ghost.

Seeing this, Shen Luo did not dodge or avoid, but instead, roared in rage and slapped out a hand, striking directly into the palm of Gu Hualing’s reaching hand.

“Bang”!

He only felt a tremble in his body, he flew backwards as if he were tossed like a sack.

Gu Hualing did not pursue closely; instead, she gave a light, surprised “huh?” and looked at the hand she had just reached out with an odd expression. Her palm was unknowingly affixed with a talisman.

“Rumble” The explosive sound rang out!

As Shen Luo got up, he felt a wave of scorching heat sweeping towards him. He hurriedly retreated a few steps before stopping to look carefully.

At the place where the explosion just happened, there was nothing but black scorch marks, even the two skeletons had been blown into powder.

“Be careful!”

Just as Shen Luo wanted to take a closer look, he suddenly heard Bai Xiaotian’s shocked shout. Immediately after, there was a sound of something tearing through the air from behind him.

Startled, he abruptly turned around, only to see a dark purple three-pointed claw thorn shooting towards him. The distance was less than thirty feet.

Shen Luo quickly flicked his sleeve, a wind blew from the cuff, and a Talisman Fork radiating a white light shot out promptly.

In the night, a purple and a white light sped towards each other, “Bang,” they collided.

The rune on Shen Luo’s Talisman Fork ignited rapidly, blooming like a firework, emitting a final burst of light, and then, with an even more intense explosion, shattered.

At the moment of the Fork’s explosion, a strong force was released, blasting the three-pointed claw thorn back.

The claw thorn drew a purple arc in the void, landing gently in a hand as white and as delicate as jade.

Seeing the Talisman Fork being destroyed in a flash, Shen Luo felt a pang in his heart and was covered in a cold sweat.

He looked towards the purple light, only to see that Gu Hualing was suspended in midair, her wings flickering. Besides the large portion of her clothes blown away in the front, there was not a single scratch on her body.

At this time, Bai Xiaotian leaped in front of him, shielding him.

“Can you continue to fight?” He kept his eyes on Gu Hualing and asked Shen Luo in a low voice.

“I can fight!” Shen Luo answered.

“Good! That claw thorn is a magical instrument, it must not be opposed with physical force.”, Bai Xiaotian holding a Bronze Money Sword, looked tense.

As his voice fell, his pupils suddenly constricted, the Bronze Money Sword in his hand filled with red light, sweeping towards the front.

“Ding Ding Ding”

Accompanied by a clear ringing sound, the Bronze Money Sword was forcefully pushed back, flying back in front of Bai Xiaotian.

Shen Luo looked at the sword and saw three thin, semi-transparent bone needles embedded deeply in the sword’s body, and the coins on it were forced through.

Bai Xiaotian squeezed his hand into a spell and lightly tapped the handle of the sword. The red light on the sword suddenly brightened and the three bone needles were ejected out.

Then he took a blue-colored talisman from his bosom, pinched it between two fingers, and wrapped it around the sword’s handle.
