Chapter 901: Chapter 898 Waiting for a Rabbit by a Stump Chapter 901: Chapter 898 Waiting for a Rabbit by a Stump “`
Shen Luo’s eyes were electric as he swiftly scanned his surroundings and was surprised to find that the flight trajectory of each golden sharp blade was unique. They interwove with one another yet did not interfere, creating a layer around him that was an impenetrable net of blades.
However, despite the sharp aura emanating from the golden blade net, Shen Luo’s expression remained indifferent.
Just as the blades were about to tear through him, Shen Luo casually waved his hand and a golden light shone forth in front of him. A Golden Book flew out from thin air, emanating thousands of golden beams, sweeping around him and absorbing the incoming sharp blades within it.
Upon witnessing this scene, Bai Ling’s eyes widened in astonishnt, thinking to herself that, with such a treasure at the elder’s disposal, bringing her along should pose no problem; she also longed to take another look at the murals.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, a roaring sound suddenly intensified in front of her. In the void that was just cleared, countless golden lights erged anew, even more nurous than before.
The sky was filled with the descent of golden blades, while the Golden Book hovering in front of Shen Luo pulsated with golden light, engulfing them once again.
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Luo’s figure leaped rapidly towards the direction of the dead tree.
Yet, as if endless, no sooner had the blades been collected than new ones erged without interruption, their numbers doubling those of just now.
After only a few steps forward, the golden blades around him had multiplied several tis over, and the light emitted by the Golden Book alone could no longer absorb them all at once.
Having no choice, Shen Luo pushed the Heavenly Book forward with one hand, and with the other, he took out the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod and executed the Splashy Chaotic Stick Technique, brandishing the rod in all directions, sending layers of dense rod shadows dancing out.
The Golden Heavenly Book absorbed a large number of blades, and whatever few remained were shattered one by one by the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod.
Bai Ling watched from outside with dazzled eyes, her heart pounding even more frantically.
In fact, Shen Luo was moving at an extre speed, but he still couldn’t withstand the increasing density of the golden blades in this particular Heaven and Earth, and more and more small wounds began to appear on his body.
At first, it was just his clothes getting ripped, with many intersecting cuts appearing. As ti went on, the cuts grew deeper, and gradually, startling blood-red marks began to erge on Shen Luo’s body.
A re distance of a few dozen feet now seed as difficult to cross as a mountain of blades and a sea of flas, but what made Shen Luo suffer even more wasn’t the golden blades that were increasing in speed and density but the growing invisible restraining force within the surrounding Heaven and Earth.
The sensation wasn’t quite like being trapped in mud. Shen Luo felt as if his body was entwined with seven or eight Golden Ropes, which, while not absorbing his mana, seed to be tied to a towering mountain on the other end, making each step forward feel like dragging a mountain along with him.
In the short span of a few breaths, Shen Luo’s body was covered in at least a thousand cuts, half of which were slowly oozing fresh blood, nearly dyeing him a blood-soaked figure.
His breathing grew increasingly labored, and with each inhale, it felt as if delicate blades were flaying the flesh off his bones, an unbearable sensation.
Left with no choice while wielding the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, he continually circulated the Great Unsealing Technique within his body to heal the wounds he had sustained.
One step, two steps, three steps…
Shen Luo moved with great difficulty, drenched in blood, almost beyond recognition as human, while Bai Ling, watching from outside the formation, felt a tingling sensation coursing through her scalp, no longer daring to watch, and quickly turned her eyes away.
After what felt like an eternity, Shen Luo finally reached the two halves of the dead tree.
Clasping the Refined Iron Stick in his hand, he exerted his strength and pried open the section of the tree that lay across the ground, revealing the pitch-black cave entrance below.
“`
Shen Luo didn’t hesitate much, but after a slight probe with his divine soul, he cloaked himself in a layer of light and leaped down.
A flash of white light at the cave entrance and his figure imdiately vanished, while the various strange phenona around the cave dissipated as well.
Bai Ling stared at the empty space on the other side, standing bewildered for a while, then found a spot to sit down and wait for Shen Luo to co out.
But at this mont, right above her head, a crack suddenly appeared out of nowhere, revealing a shadow that instantly enveloped the earth below.
Bai Ling, sensing sothing, looked up and her eyes widened in shock.
She saw a black light column plumting from high altitude, directly caging her. Bai Ling felt as if she had been hit by a mountainous force, and her body slamd into the ground, leaving her unable to rise again.
Within the black light column, a figure gradually appeared, tall and wrapped in black robes, with a gaunt face, sharp features, a slightly hooked nose, thin lips, and an extrely stern expression.
“Where is that Human Race boy who ca in with you?” He stepped on Bai Ling’s cheek, yet his gaze was directed toward the tree hole.
“Went… went in,” Bai Ling managed to say, trembling under the oppressive aura exuding from the man, stronger than what Shen Luo had given her.
Upon hearing this, the man turned and walked toward that area.
Bai Ling watched him step by step, praying silently in her heart, “Go in, just go in…”
Yet, just as the man was about to step into the area, he stopped in his tracks. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a black knife and casually flicked it forward.
A sharp “swoosh” sound pierced the air.
The black flying dagger traced a straight line through the void, instantly entering the fray.
But after it had flown only about ten feet, the flying dagger’s speed abruptly slowed down, with intense fluctuations surging from Heaven and Earth all around, even stronger than when Shen Luo had entered just now.
Hundreds of golden light beams crisscrossed and sliced through the air, and the black flying dagger imdiately shattered in response, broken into countless fragnts.
Watching the fragnts of the flying dagger fall to the ground, the Man in Black Cloak narrowed his eyes slightly and a killing intent surfaced on his face. Looking at Bai Ling, he said coldly,
“You say, facing such sharp golden edges, that Human Race boy went in?”
“He really went in; I’m not lying to you. He just…” Bai Ling quickly nodded and told the Man in Black Cloak every detail about how Shen Luo had entered.
“Oh, I didn’t expect this person to have such a treasure on him; this is a pleasant surprise.” The man first expressed astonishnt upon hearing this and then showed delight.
Seeing his reaction, Bai Ling knew she had spoken more than she should have, but in order to save her own life, she had no other choice.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you for now. Rather than risking injury to venture in, it’s better to wait here for the rabbit. When he cos out, that will be the end of your lives,” the Man in Black Cloak chuckled “heh heh” and said slowly.
Bai Ling was inwardly distressed, thinking to herself that she would have been better off living as ignorantly as before.
