Chapter 321: Chapter 317: Fight the Enemy Alone Chapter 321: Chapter 317: Fight the Enemy Alone About a dozen fierce ghosts trailing billowing black mist rushed towards Shen Luo and Shen Yu, each opening their massive mouths revealing two rows of chillingly sharp teeth—an extrely terrifying sight.
Observing this, Shen Luo remained unmoved, instead, he subtly signaled Shen Yu to move a few steps back.
Soon enough, the ghost reached right in front of Shen Luo. An old woman with disheveled hair leaped up the highest aiming to bite Shen Luo’s head. A demon-like woman circled to his back, starting to gnaw at his neck while a two-foot-high child rolled to his feet, tearing at his legs.
The rest of the ghosts trailed closely behind, swiftly enclosing him.
However, imdiately after, a “splash” water sound abruptly began, and a spiral of water waves rose from Shen Luo’s feet. It acted like a water shield, blocking him from all the ghosts.
The ghosts hadn’t yet reacted when a water rope coiled itself around each of their necks.
“Fall!”
At Shen Luo’s whisper, a snowy white thunder light suddenly exploded in front of him.
A thunderous “boom” rang out, threads of electricity swiftly traveled down the water ropes, changing into wisps of snowy white lightning and piercing each ghost.
“Ah….”
Accompanied by a series of ghastly screams, all the ghosts were torn apart by the lightning, black qi rushed from their bodies, and in a flash, they were all reduced to ashes.
The Netherworld Scholar watched this scene, his expression unchanged. He simply beckoned with his sleeve and the dissipated black mist sward back and returned into the book box he had behind him.
“Impressive Thunder talisman…” The Netherworld Scholar praised as he pulled out a short bone flute from his sleeve. It was about a foot long, thinner in the center, and thicker at both ends. It turned out to be a human arm bone.
“Be careful.” Feeling a sense of foreboding, Shen Luo hurriedly warned Shen Yu.
No sooner than the words left his mouth that a low flute note rang out.
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Luo felt as if a giant mountain had crashed into his sea of knowledge. He was montarily stupefied, and his vision began to blur.
In his semi-conscious state, he saw smoke drifting around him, pink-colored silk dancing beside him, and faint celestial music echoing in his ears. On closer examination, he found himself unexpectedly in a celestial palace.
Beside him, there was a beautiful maiden wearing pink gauze, her dance graceful, casting enchanting shadows. As she twirled, sparkling pink dust seed to fall from her billowing sleeves and filled his nostrils with a srizing fragrance.
Presently, Shen Luo felt as though he had knocked into sothing. Looking down, he spotted a child, with small braids and wearing a bellyband, chuckling with delight at him.
Looking at this child, who was so beautiful as to appear crafted from pink jade and ivory, Shen Luo felt an unexpected unease. He ford the Water-Repelling Technique with his hands, and inches-long water-blue light imdiately shone from his body.
“Whoosh!”
The light from the Water-Repelling Technique swept outwards, dissolving the surrounding smoke and revealing the true appearance of the illusions around him. Only then did Shen Luo realize that the supposed fairies around him were indeed the fierce ghosts from the book box.
“Omm… Omm…”
Accompanied by the eerie sound of the bone flute, invisible sound waves bombarded him, causing ripples when hitting the Water-Repelling technique around Shen Luo, but they were unable to penetrate it.
Seeing this, Shen Luo had barely started to breathe a sigh of relief when a sudden rush of wind sounded behind him.
“Whoosh Whoosh”
Subconsciously, he gave a sharp turn of his head, and two water arrows skimd past his Water Repelling Array Light Curtain.
Shen Luo turned hurriedly to see Shen Yu sprinting towards him. A swirl of blue water materialized in her hand and surged towards him like a tidal wave.
His eyes flickered, and his figure leapt up, landing directly on the water-blue veil. With a light tap of his foot, he darted straight towards Shen Yu.
“Shen Yu, wake up, you’re under an illusion!” Shen Luo sprinted urgently while shouting loudly.
However, the rushing Shen Yu seed to be oblivious to his words. With a sudden flick of the veil in her hand, a strong suction force was instantly generated from it.
Shen Luo stepped down and instantly felt a chill at his ankle. Streams of water wrapped around him, making it feel as if he had stepped into a whirlpool being pulled by a strong force, struggling to free himself.
Then, blue light shimred around him. The long veil on the left and right ends rolled back towards him, aiming to wrap him up like a dumpling.
A light flickered under Shen Luo’s toe and he instantly perford the Slanting Moon Steps.
A blur of his figure, and in an instant, he appeared at Shen Yu’s side.
He grabbed Shen Yu’s shoulder and shook her vigorously to wake her, but she showed no signs of snapping out of her state. She yelled out “Demon!” and slapped him.
Shen Luo swiftly dodged, sighing inwardly. Shen Yu had not yet reached the Soul Condensation Stage, and her divine soul was still fragile, trapped within the Netherworld Scholar’s illusion, unable to free herself.
“Seems like this is the only choice.”
He muttered to himself, but his movent didn’t falter in the least. From his sleeve, he flicked out a Small Thunder Talisman and tossed it above Shen Yu’s head.
Accompanied by a “boom” sound, a flash of electric light suddenly fell and struck her body.
Shen Yu’s body went numb and she collapsed onto the ground.
Before she could react, Shen Luo’s figure had already flashed by. He imdiately grabbed and supported her as they retreated a hundred feet.
As soon as they stabilized their stances, the faint sound of footsteps could be heard from behind Shen Luo. Knowing that the Shen family was approaching, he shouted anxiously, “Don’t co closer, all of you, retreat.”
Shen Huayuan and the others had just spotted the figures of Shen Luo and Shen Yu, and they stopped abruptly at his warning.
At this point, a “ding” sound of a bell was heard, followed by the sound of the bone flute. The Netherworld Scholar had actually pursued them.
Shen Luo didn’t have ti to think about anything else. He turned around, waved his hand, and a splash of water rose in front of him, lifting Shen Yu and speeding away.
“Quickly, get her out of here. No one should approach until this battle is over,” he shouted loudly. His figure then dashed off, bravely advancing towards the Netherworld Scholar.
Shen Luo knew if he allowed the Netherworld Scholar to get closer, Shen Huayuan and the others may fall into the illusion. If they attacked him all at once, he would be in an even more difficult position.
After grabbing onto Shen Yu, Shen Huayuan didn’t hesitate and imdiately led the Shen family away, putting a good distance between them.
The Netherworld Scholar stopped playing the bone flute upon seeing Shen Luo charging back. Instead, he puffed up his sleeves, and masses of black mist rose behind him, engulfing Shen Luo like a sandstorm.
