But right after, a large, lifelike “goldfish” suddenly leaped from the water splash, carrying Ying Luo from the water waves and swiftly heading towards the foot of the mountain.
Seeing this, the Heaven Devouring Tiger was greatly annoyed. It halted its pace and abruptly turned around. Its eyes exuded intense ferocious light, and it roared at Shen Luo:
“Roar…”
Shen Luo only felt a humming noise in his ears and a tremor in his body as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt out of the blue, in the deepest layers of his mind. He was almost unstable in his standing position, but his body immediately flashed in blue, twenty thin blue threads flashed and extinguished, a wave of cooling sensation rushed out of his Dantian, quickly circulated around his head, and he immediately sobered up.
He forced himself to withstand the residual humming sound in his mind, while mobilizing Mana to protect the sea of his consciousness on one side and taunting the Heaven Devouring Tiger with a challenging hand gesture.
As expected, the Heaven Devouring Tiger was extremely furious. It completely gave up the chase of Ying Luo, turned around and ran madly towards Shen Luo.
Seeing that his taunt was effective, Shen Luo immediately beckoned with his two hands, and the half-moon ring escaped from the already weakened electric net.
He quickly ran towards the mountain top, leading the Heaven Devouring Tiger as far away from Ying Luo as possible.
Just when he managed to run a hundred feet, his figure suddenly turned, leading him to dash into the dense forest on one side, feeling somewhat panicked in his heart.
That’s because the roar of the Heaven Devouring Tiger behind him was getting increasingly closer at a terrifying speed.Shen Luo hastily turned around just to see the Heaven Devouring Tiger seemingly engulfed in blue flames, bolting towards him with an indescribable urgency. Surprisingly, its speed was even faster than the Mad Leopard.
He hurriedly chanted and cast a magic spell, forming a water-repelling light curtain in front of him.
The blue luminescent light curtain just emerged and was yet to stabilize when the Heaven Devouring Tiger head-on crashed into it.
The light curtain abruptly flickered in blue and couldn’t withstand for even a moment, directly “bang” exploding into fragments.
A severe pain again erupted in Shen Luo’s chest, spitting out blood from his mouth, he was sent flying backwards, breaking an ancient thick tree midway, and fell to the ground.
Before he could even get up, the Heaven Devouring Tiger had already opened its bloody mouth, pouncing on him again.
In the nick of time, Shen Luo flipped over and fiercely swung his sleeve, a burst of golden light shot out from the cuff.
Within the golden light, a several meters-long rope, swift as lightning, directly flew towards the oncoming Heaven Devouring Tiger.
Upon seeing this, the latter sneered coldly and lifted its claw to swipe at the gold rope, intending to snap it.
However, the gold rope seemed sentient. The moment when its big claw approached, it suddenly bent downwards, not only deftly dodging the claw, but also climbing up along the tiger claw like a gecko, wrapping around its waist and abdomen.
A series of faint golden rune illusions immediately emerged on the surface of the gold rope which tightened sharply amid luminescent flashes.
The Heaven Devouring Tiger didn’t even react when its front claw was reeled inward by a strong force, involuntarily pulled back in front of its chest. Its body lost balance for a moment and tumbled down.
Seeing this, without any hesitation, Shen Luo turned and resumed running.
He knew very clearly that with his current cultivation level, a single magical instrument will be absolutely unable to subdue this powerful Nascent Soul Stage demon.
Now, fleeing was the only way.
Just a few moments later, a loud “thud” sounded from behind Shen Luo.
The Heaven Devouring Tiger suddenly blasted a wave of violent aura around his body, as a layer of condensed violent energy rushed out, actually breaking the gold rope into several pieces.
Shen Luo didn’t look back, yet he couldn’t help but tremble in his heart.
Fortunately, at the moment the golden light scattered, the broken gold rope surprisingly healed itself back together. It didn’t collapse, but instead flew past mid-air, quickly catching up with Shen Luo, and coiled itself around his right arm.
Shen Luo saw that the light on the gold rope had dimmed a lot, he knew it was badly damaged. However, he had no time to care about it now, he just used the Chasing Wind Step to its limit and continued to flee with all his strength.
After the Heaven Devouring Tiger missed several times, it was already in a furious state. After a loud roar, its blood-streaked mouth suddenly opened wide, a current-like layer of light rose from its waist and abdomen, flowed into its head along its chest and back, and condensed into a solid light sphere in its mouth, with electricity crackling throughout it.
With a ‘bang’, the light sphere was shot out from its mouth, shooting straight towards Shen Luo’s back.
Shen Luo felt a strong force bombing his back and knew he couldn’t dodge it. He could only abruptly turn around, quickly formed a sign with his hand, and spread his palm.
A whirlpool of swirling water immediately condensed on his palm. A strong demonic energy flew out of the black hole of water in the centre of the vortex, It transformed into a strange demon holding a Black Gold Trident in mid-air and landed in front of him.
This demon was crimson in colour, standing at four-feet tall, it was stout in size. It was wearing a blue armour. The lower part of its two shoulders didn’t have arms but two large crab claws. There was a tuft of golden hair growing on its round head, its eyes bulging out, surprisingly it was a Crab General!
This was the demon that Shen Luo had captured when he advanced to the later stage of Soul Condensation by using the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits. It was already a demon in the late stage of Soul Condensation, and it had powerful defensive supernatural powers.
Due to the restrictions of the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits, Shen Luo had to remove the previous contract with Zhui Tou, and spent a lot of effort to sign a contract with this Crab General.
“Shen kid, calling me out ….”.
As soon as the Crab General appeared and before finishing his sentence, he saw an intimidating blue electric light sphere shooting towards him.
The Crab General’s eyes bulged out, and the Black Gold Trident in his hands started to spin like a windmill, condensing a vortex of green water in front of him, which emitted a strong attractive force.
The blue electric light sphere was sucked into the vortex as soon as it got close.
“Boom” a loud noise!
Blue electric light mixed with water waves exploded, hundreds of electric spikes and water splashes shot out, hitting the ancient trees within the radius of several feet, causing them to break one by one and smoke billowing.
“Ouch, that was a close one. Shen kid, you tricked me again!” A howl came from the smoke, followed by a series of curses.
“Daoist Lang Pu, stop cursing for now; dealing with that Heaven Devouring Tiger is the top priority.” Shen Luo said helplessly.
“How am I supposed to deal with it? I’m only in the Soul Condensation Stage. How can I manage it? We should run for our lives!” The smoke dissipated, and the figure of the Crab General showed itself again.
Its originally shiny armor had turned black, making it look like it was covered in ash.
“You are a human who can summon spiritual beasts, you are indeed not simple,” The Heaven Devouring Tiger walked slowly out from the other side of the smoke, it said in a cold voice.
“This guy and I are not close at all, if you want to fight, then fight him. I will just stand by and watch, and definitely not interfere!” The Crab General who was known as Lang Pu said, brushed the dust off his body, and leaned against a broken tree, acting like he was just an onlooker.
The Heaven Devouring Tiger, seeing this, had a glint of suspicion in his eyes as he couldn’t understand the relationship between the two.
