The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 103: Chapter 102: Strange scenes in a dream

Just then, a figure flickered in mid-air behind the fox demon. It was Zhui Tou, who had appeared unknowingly with a golden hammer in his hands, fiercely smashing towards the fox demon’s skull.

A dull “thud” echoed.

At the crucial moment, the fox demon swung one of its tails to block its skull, but it was still dizzy with the residual force. The tail holding Shen Luo loosened, and Shen Luo fell to the ground.

Half kneeling, Shen Luo ignored his injuries, raised his hand, and his palm flashed with white light again. He released a streak of white lightning, striking the fox demon’s face, causing an explosion.

Large strands of white electricity filled its face in a blink of an eye, the fox demon let out a sorrowful cry and its body, along with three tails, paused rigidly.

“Daoist friend Zhui Tou! Now!”

As soon as Shen Luo’s words fell, behind the fox demon, Zhui Tou waved his hand, and a blue light flashed.

The exquisite Cold Gun obtained from Wu Pojia shot out like an arrow, directly piercing through the vital area of the fox demon’s chest.

Shen Luo looked up as he panted heavily, only to see a large hole torn open in the fox demon’s chest, the wound instantly freezing over, without a single drop of blood flowing out.

Following that, the fox demon’s body fell straight backward. The three large fox tails behind it seemed to lose their magic-power support and quickly shrank back, returning to their original state.

Shen Luo saw it fell to the ground motionless but didn’t immediately go up to inspect it. Instead, he looked at his own palm, seeing the mark of the Small Thunder Talisman still present, he again raised his hand, striking its head.

After two thunderous sounds, the skull of Three-eyed Demon Fox was charred and black smoke wafted off it.

Meanwhile, the last bit of mana inside Shen Luo was completely exhausted. He felt weak all over and almost fainted.

“It’s already dead. If you’re still not at ease, I can give it another hit.” Zhui Tou limped over with the hammer, his leather armor was cracked in many places, clearly, he too was severely injured.

“Thank you for your help this time.” Shen Luo gestured with a pale face.

“Since I’ve established a Soul Contract with you, if anything happens to you, I will be implicated. It’s surprising that this fox demon, merged with a human body, is still so powerful. It must have brought the demon pellet with it to maintain its full strength. It must be situated in the Dantian of the corpse.” Zhui Tou’s gaze landed on the corpse as he said this.

Hearing this, Shen Luo sat there for a while to recover, before getting up and walking forward.

He picked up the ice gun and undid the clothes on the body, he gently cut open the abdomen of the corpse, and indeed found a smooth pink bead inside.

The thing was the same size as normal pearls and similar to it as well. However, emanating from it were waves of demonic energy fluctuations.

“The environment here is not conducive for healing, I need to return right away.” Just as Shen Luo was about to ask about the usefulness of the demon pellet, Zhui Tou spoke.

“Alright, I’ll send you back now.” Seeing that, Shen Luo had to swallow the question that was on the tip of his tongue. He squeezed a magic tactic with both hands, summoned the small amount of remaining emerald green liquid to his side, operated the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits, and created a vortex in the void with a single hand motion.

Zhui Tou didn’t say a word, his figure instantly turned into a blue light, disappearing into the vortex, the blue vortex then gradually shrank and vanished.

After resting at the original spot for a while, Shen Luo walked to the edge of the pond, watching the golden finger bone in the pond, his face tinged with hesitation.

Despite knowing that this thing was extraordinary, he didn’t dare to rashly pick it up.

At this instant, the pond suddenly flashed with golden light and the finger bone suddenly shot up, piercing directly towards Shen Luo.

Shen Luo was shocked and quickly sidestepped to avoid it. However, when the finger bone was about to pass by him, it turned abruptly and pierced directly into his body.

He only felt a sharp pain in his chest and his vision immediately became blurry.

Shen Luo shook his slightly dizzy head vigorously, weakly grabbing at the void in front of him as if trying to hold onto something for support. However, his vision darkened and he fell straight down.

…

“Thud…”

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Luo suddenly heard a melodious bell sound echoing in the distance.

His eyelids twitched slightly, and slowly opened his eyes. The cloudy feeling in his head was still present, and his vision was still blurry. He couldn’t help but rub his somewhat aching eyebrows.

Shen Luo propped himself up and sat up, looking around in surprise to find hundreds of people sitting densely around him.

They were all dressed in the same white robes, each looking solemnly towards a three-foot high platform in front.

On the platform was a lotus zafu, on which sat an elderly man with long white hair and a benevolent face. His long eyebrows hung down on both sides of his cheeks, and he was wearing a large feather robe, apparently preaching a sermon.

“Where is this place? How did I get here?” Shen Luo looked around in surprise, realizing that this place was neither the underground cave, nor was it inside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

He suddenly stood up to ask the people around him, but they seemed completely unaware of his strange behavior, and no one glanced at him at all.

Shen Luo quickly leaned over to tap on the shoulder of the person next to him, but his palm seemed to pass through the person’s body as if it were translucent.

“Could it be another dream? A dream within a dream?” Shen Luo muttered to himself.

He turned and looked further around, only to find that he was standing on a white stone square in the mountains. The surrounding mountains were like an emerald jade belt wrapping around, with jade-like waterfalls and misty clouds visible in the middle, creating a fairy-tale landscape.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

On many of the mountain peaks, he could see jade pavilions being hidden by green trees, and on many of the mountain crevices, he could see suspended rope bridges connecting them. The sounds of monkeys and cranes echoed around the mountains and clouds.

“Could this be an Immortal land, and the elder is the Immortal giving teachings?” Shen Luo couldn’t hide his excitement, he wanted to approach the preaching elder to listen carefully to whether he was spreading Immortal teachings.

But he had only just taken a step forward when the surrounding scenery dissolved away like a mirage.

Shen Luo just felt a moment of dizziness, and everything in front of him became blurry again.

But a moment later, when his vision stabilized, the surroundings had already changed entirely.

At this moment, he was standing on the top of towering mountain peak, facing a suspended cliff. Below him was a rolling sea of clouds like waves of the sea.

Not far from him, there were several low tables, each with a person sitting behind them.

The one in the main seat was still the elder in the feather robe. The others sitting down had greatly different appearances and attire.

They were burning incense and sipping tea, discussing Dao while sitting, as if they were old friends of many years.

Although Shen Luo was not far away and could see the details of each of their faces clearly, he couldn’t hear what they were talking about clearly. And when he intended to approach them, the surrounding scenery blurred again.

Immediately after, he found himself in a big red hall. He saw the feather-robed elder and several disciples-like people conversing…
