The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1695 - 1691: Can’t Kill Anymore

Without Jiang Shentian and Seven Kills clearing the path ahead, the cultivators from various sects now had to confront the onrushing Fox Spirit Army directly. The pressure heightened instantly.

Just as the Fire Sect Cultivators and Qingfu Sect Cultivators were on the verge of being unable to hold their ground, a series of crisp "clang" sounds rang out. The disciples of the Tang Dynasty Government unsheathed their swords in unison. Sword lights split into reflections: one into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand.

Streams of light and sword shadows shot out rapidly. Everywhere they passed, they pierced right through the foreheads of the Fox Spirit Evil Ghosts with astonishing precision.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Lu Huaming leading the disciples to form a Sword Array. Directed by his intent, the formation unleashed such formidable power.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds to nearly a thousand Fox Spirit Evil Ghosts were annihilated, transforming into countless green specks of light that floated upwards.

The Sword Array was sharp and deadly, but its consumption was equally immense. Wave after wave passed, and after several rounds, the disciples of the Tang Dynasty Government were visibly exhausted, their pace slowing down.

Yet the Fox Spirit Evil Ghost Army seemed endless, continuously surging toward them without respite.

At that moment, a soothing chanting sound resounded. Disciples from Mount Putuo activated the divine technique "Salvation of All Beings," radiating a gentle glow from their bodies that spread to the surroundings.

Bathed in this light, the cultivators from various sects immediately felt their vitality surge. The exhaustion from earlier battles and spellcasting was swept away, and their spirits were invigorated.

"Buddha’s compassion..."

Another round of Buddhist chanting echoed from the disciples of Hua Sheng Temple. Gentle gold-colored Buddha’s Light spread outward, instantly making everyone feel their Qiao acupoints open up. The Heaven and Earth Aura in the surroundings accelerated its flow into their bodies, greatly replenishing their mana.

Motivated by this, the cultivators’ morale rose sharply once more.

By this point, the elders and disciples from middle and smaller sects finally realized the vast gap between themselves and the first-tier sects like the Tang Dynasty Government and Hua Sheng Temple.

In the rear, Shen Luo also noticed his mana recovery had greatly improved. Feeling reassured, he surged forward once more to confront the Fire Fox Evil Spirit.

Gripping his Pure Yang Flying Sword, he advanced close to the Fire Fox Evil Spirit for combat. Meanwhile, ten additional Pure Yang Flying Swords formed a formation mid-air, gathering momentum for the Golden Sword Array.

At this moment, Shen Luo’s Cloud Chasing Lightning Boots beneath his feet flashed repeatedly with electric light. His figure accelerated suddenly and appeared above the Fire Fox’s head in an instant, slashing his sword downward toward its skull.

The Fire Fox instinctively tilted its head up and raised an arm to block Shen Luo’s attack.

"Now’s the time."

Seeing the gaping wound on its exposed chest, Shen Luo’s face lit up with joy.

Feigning an attack with his sword, he abruptly retreated. The Golden Sword Array surged with brilliance and struck toward the wound on the Fire Fox’s chest.

However, at this moment, the seemingly mindless Fire Fox Evil Spirit acted purely on combat instinct. Nine of its tails thrust forward like flower petals closing, forcibly blocking the Golden Sword Array.

At the same time, one of the Fire Fox’s giant claws swung heavily down toward Shen Luo.

Moving nimbly through the void, Shen Luo evaded the strike with extreme agility and lunged directly toward the Fire Fox’s chest.

The Fire Fox Evil Spirit, seeing this, had no choice but to divert a tail to strike at Shen Luo.

But for some unknown reason, Shen Luo made no effort to dodge and charged straight ahead.

Just as he was about to collide with the tail, a figure suddenly darted in from the side, taking the blow meant for Shen Luo. With a loud "smack," the figure was sent flying away.

Seizing the opening, Shen Luo slipped into the Fire Fox’s chest. The Pure Yang Flying Sword in his hand stabbed directly into the wound made earlier by the Hongming Saber, sinking in to the hilt.

Once inside the Fire Fox’s body, the Pure Yang Sword Qi erupted instantly. The Vermilion Bird Sword Spirit spread its wings and transformed into a colossal flaming bird, unleashing the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire without reservation. Flames raged inside the Fire Fox Evil Spirit, burning it ferociously from within.

Though formidable on the outside, the Fire Fox Evil Spirit’s core was nurtured by the ghostly netherfire. It could not withstand the Pure Yang Flying Sword rampaging inside, and its strength rapidly drained away. Its nine tails gradually lost their power as well.

The remaining ten Pure Yang Flying Swords seized the opportunity to break through, piercing into the Fire Fox’s body.

In an instant, the calls of the Golden Crow and Vermilion Bird reverberated. Pure Yang Sword Light intertwined, and the Fire Fox Evil Spirit, unable to resist, was ultimately obliterated.

The vast spiritual entity collapsed. Aside from the ghostly flames that were entirely consumed by the Pure Yang Flying Sword, the remaining fiery light shimmered as countless specks and drifted toward the depths of the sky.

Raising his head, Shen Luo glanced at the sky. Amidst the dense, oppressive clouds, flashes of green light flickered, stirring unease within him.

There was no time to overthink. Shen Luo cast his gaze downward toward the stone wall in the distance.

He caught sight of the mechanical construct that had just shielded him. It was now nearly shattered, and its damaged abdomen revealed Elder Hei Li’s battered and bruised body. Lying motionless on the ground, his fate was uncertain.

Shen Luo caught up with the retreating cultivators from various sects, realizing they were now nearing the exit of Morning Sound Valley.

"Brother Yan, that was excellent teamwork earlier," Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Brother Shen, you’re truly reckless. If I hadn’t recalled that construct in time, you’d be in serious trouble right now," Master Yan shook his head with a trace of exasperation.

"It seems the elders like Chief Strategist You Su won’t intervene personally. The danger behind us has lessened. I’ll rely on you and the others to watch over them; I’ll head to the front to assist," Shen Luo chuckled, cupping his hands in respect.

"Always the diligent one. Stay safe," Master Yan returned the gesture with a nod.

With a swift movement, Shen Luo darted to the forefront of the group, where he saw the Exquisite Pagoda emitting a radiant glow. Below it, a Fox Spirit wielding a giant axe was being suppressed. Jiang Shentian’s Long Spear pierced cleanly through the massive creature’s head.

The Fox Spirit’s form disintegrated, scattering into countless green specks of light that drifted skyward.

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause for him.

On another front, Seven Kills’ battle was nearing its conclusion as well. Radiating a ferocious killing aura, the Punishment Sky Reverse technique forced the Fox Spirit armed with the Yellow Halberd into a continual retreat. They were now almost at the valley entrance of Morning Sound Valley.

The victories of these two individuals greatly inspired the cultivators. By this point, the assembly no longer minded the consumption of their mana. Standing against the endless tides of Fox Spirit Evil Ghosts, they fought without fear.

Hurling themselves at the Fox Spirit Army with relentless attacks, they annihilated swathes of the enemy and pushed toward the final barrier.

At that moment, Shen Luo began to sense something was amiss.

Above them, the dark clouds grew heavier and lower, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression.

His gaze turned to the green specks of light drifting upward into the sky. Activating the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld, he peered into the depths of the clouds.

But just as he directed his gaze upward, two massive beams of green light suddenly shot out from within the dark clouds. Like solid eyes, they scanned over the entire Allied Army.

"This isn’t good. Stop killing them!" Shen Luo suddenly realized the danger.

Unfortunately, his fervent cry failed to halt the cultivators’ actions. At the forefront, Seven Kills had already executed a perfect strike, slicing down the colossal Fox Spirit before him.

As countless green specks of light floated into the sky and entered the thick, ominous cloud layer, an incomparably dreadful aura began descending over the Earth.
