The Lord of Void and Real

Shen Luo didn’t utter a word, but positioned his body in front of Ying Luo, his hand hidden in his sleeve, already clutching the half-moon ring.

The Heaven Devouring Tiger cocked its ears and slightly pulled at the corner of its mouth, its mannerisms eerily human-like, brimming over with clear contempt.

“The Mad Leopard excels in ambushes and escapes. Last time, my claw failed to land a fatal blow, so it managed to run away. I never expected it to die at your hands. What a useless creature,” The Heaven Devouring Tiger lifted one forepaw and licked it while saying this.

Shen Luo thought of the scratches on the face of the Mad Leopard, realizing that they were most likely from this tiger demon. Considering the demon’s strong evil aura and formidable presence, far surpassing the Mad Leopard, Shen Luo felt a tightening in his chest and carefully shielded Ying Luo, pulling back a little bit.

“Are you from Longevity Village?” The Heaven Devouring Tiger asked, a gaze of appraisal falling upon Shen Luo upon asking this.

“Yes”, replied Shen Luo even though he did not completely understand the tiger’s intentions, and after a slight hesitation.

Hearing Shen Luo’s answer, the head of the Heaven Devouring Tiger lowered ever so slightly, a hint of nostalgia even seeping into its words as it spoke:

“Leave the Demon Pellet here, and you can go…”

Upon hearing this, confusion flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes.

“Do you really wish to die? Don’t make me repeat myself the third time, leave the Mad Leopard’s Demon Pellet and get out of here!” The Heaven Devouring Tiger glared at the two of them.

Shen Luo stared back into its eyes, only to discover that there really didn’t seem to be much killing intent, which confused him all the more.

“The Demon Pellet can be left behind, but Elder, could we be permitted to make a trip up the mountain?” Ying Luo bit her lip and bravely made the request.

As soon as Shen Luo saw the Heaven Devouring Tiger’s true form, he had begun to consider retreat. But hearing Ying Luo’s words made him uneasy.

“You want to go up the mountain?”

Hearing this, the Heaven Devouring Tiger looked as though it had been stung. The dark red glint in its eyes suddenly brightened, with wisps of black fog appearing around its eyes and quickly enveloping its entire face.

Within moments, its whole face started twisting horrifically, its evil aura suddenly soaring, and the intense killing intent it emanated almost became tangible.

“Everything on the mountain is mine, no one else can lay a finger on it…” its voice turned hoarse and rough, entirely different from before.

Before it finished speaking, it suddenly pounced forward and roared at them.

“Roar…..”

This roar was different from before, it was close at hand. Shen Luo could see visible ripples forming in the air, layer upon layer washing towards him and Ying Luo.

He quickly stepped back a few paces, placing Ying Luo completely behind him. He maneuvered his single hand to use the Water Repelling Technique.

Suddenly a burst of watery blue light radiated from his body, a foot-long blue glow emerged around him like an armor, protecting him from the oncoming roar, strongly crash into each other.

Ripples began to spread over the light curtain of the Water Repelling Technique, each wave of power overlapping the next. They grew until it seemed they might reach the maximum the light curtain could withstand, but still they didn’t falter.

Shen Luo felt a shiver in his heart. Mana whirled within him, he used all his strength to deploy the Water Repelling Technique again.

Finally, the light curtain of the Water Repelling Technique swelled, and an invisible force erupted from within, distancing the roar.

But this time around, the Water Repelling Technique was only barely able to break up the force. It couldn’t reflect the force back as it had done during the battle with the Mad Leopard.

“Damn it! This is a large demon of the Nascent Soul Stage!”

Seeing the power behind just a single roar, Shen Luo immediately understood what was going on.

“Haha! It turns out that you’re just a Soul Condensation Stage cultivator, devouring you will be more beneficial than the demon pellet of the Mad Leopard, hahaha….” Seeing the situation, the Heaven Devouring Tiger’s eyes filled with even more murderous intent, and it couldn’t help but laugh wildly with excitement.

Shen Luo’s face darkened slightly, and his concealed hand in his sleeve reached behind him, grasping Ying Luo’s slender hand.

Ying Luo, who had been panicking, was taken aback at first, but then her cheeks flushed slightly, and she momentarily forgot her fear.

However, immediately after, she realized that a slightly warm sphere had been stuffed into her hand.

On looking down, Ying Luo found out that it was the Demon Pellet of the Mad Leopard.

“Just now, those little demons avoided us, most likely because they sensed the aura of the Mad Leopard’s Demon Pellet. You take it with you and should be able to safely return to the village along the original route.” Shen Luo lowered his voice and instructed.

“But Big Brother Shen, what about you…?” Upon hearing this, Ying Luo was naturally unwilling to escape alone.

“If you’re here, it would only distract me, making it even more dangerous.” She hadn’t finished her sentence when Shen Luo interrupted her.

She bit her lip lightly at his words and took the demon pellet from Shen Luo.

Shen Luo, slightly relieved, shook his hand, and the magical instrument, the Crescent Moon Ring, fell into his palm.

Circulating his mana silently, he suddenly yelled “Go”, and the crescent moon ring in his hand transformed into a series of silver moonlight shadows, darting towards the Heaven Devouring Tiger.

At the sound of the word, Ying Luo didn’t hesitate any longer and turned to run towards the downhill direction.

Upon seeing this, the Heaven Devouring Tiger opened its huge mouth, a flash in its throat, and a burst of blue lightning shot out, transforming into a blue lightning net in mid-air, trapping the Crescent Moon Ring inside.

The moonlight shadows emanating from the Crescent Moon Ring were suddenly trapped, unable to escape.

“Since you’re here, none of you are leaving!” The Heaven Devouring Tiger roared, leaping over Shen Luo’s head and preparing to pounce on Ying Luo.

Shen Luo tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, his figure immediately slid backward, blocking the Heaven Devouring Tiger’s path.

He rapidly formed hand seals, and a surge of blue light gathered in front of him. The moisture in the air quickly condensed, forming three water vortex blades, spinning at high speed and shooting towards the head of the Heaven Devouring Tiger.

The Heaven Devouring Tiger didn’t even look, lifted a paw and waved it in front of him, immediately several blue claw marks appeared in the void, carrying a powerful tearing force, striking the water blades.

With a loud “bang”, the water blades shattered, the water splashes carried a strong evil aura which struck Shen Luo directly, flipping him onto the ground.

Shen Luo felt a surge of Qi and blood in his chest, and couldn’t help but feel shocked. This Heaven Devouring Tiger’s casual strike was so powerful; if it made a full-strength attack, he wouldn’t be able to resist.

After knocking Shen Luo down, the Heaven Devouring Tiger changed its direction, accelerating in its pursuit of Ying Luo.

Ying Luo had been worried about Shen Luo and couldn’t help but look back while running. As a result, she saw the Heaven Devouring Tiger chasing after her, with only about sixty feet of distance between them.

An overwhelming aura pressed down, causing her to be terrified, and her legs seemed to have a mind of their own.

Just when it seemed like she would be caught, a sudden “splash” sound of the rushing water could be heard.

Shen Luo had manipulated most of the water from a nearby stream with his water control technique to form a significant torrent rushing down the hill.

It turned out that Shen Luo, disregarding his injuries, had forcibly summoned the water.

Ying Luo hadn’t understood what was happening when she was engulfed by a wave of water.
