The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 18: Chapter 17 Fearless in the Face of Danger

“Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person.” Shen Luo quickly averted his gaze, looking at the little girl who was staring at him in surprise, and spoke in a gentle voice.

The little girl blinked, but she carefully looked Shen Luo up and down, especially at his shadow, and her nervous expression slightly relaxed.

“What are you doing?” Shen Luo glanced at the wooden bucket in the little girl’s hand and asked.

“Ah… ah… ah…” The little girl put down the wooden bucket in her arms and made some gestures towards Shen Luo, indicating she was mute.

Shen Luo did not understand sign language, his brow furrowed, and he was about to say something.

A cold Yin wind silently blew from behind, making one of the runes on his upper body feel warm and emit a faint red glow.

“It’s here!”

Shen Luo had already fought the ghost twice. Without turning around, he threw the incense ashes in his hand backward and jumped into the house.

Almost at the same time, a mournful shriek came from behind him.

Shen Luo instantly turned around, only to see a tall black figure appearing two yards behind where he was standing.

His pupils contracted and he took two steps backward subconsciously.

It was the same ghost!

The ghost seemed to have become visible because the incense ashes stuck to its body. A painful look appeared in its blood-red eyes as if it was hurt by the incense ashes.

“As the book said, incense ashes have the effect of warding off evil and can be used to exorcise ghosts. It really wasn’t nonsense.” Keeping an eye on the ghost, Shen Luo thought to himself.

While Shen Luo was considering his options, the ghost turned into a black shadow, rushed into the house, and lunged towards him.

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

Shen Luo moved forward, and when he was close to the ghost, he suddenly squatted down to dodge the ghost’s grasp, sweeping his right leg towards the lower body of the tall ghost.

As soon as he had seen the little girl and the wooden bucket in her hand, he had silently begun to activate the Small Transformation Yang Skill, leading the Yang Gang Qi to his right leg and right palm, waiting for this moment!

But to Shen Luo’s surprise, the ghost’s body was like a specter, and his right foot, which was enveloped in a faint red light, passed directly through the ghost’s body.

His subsequent palm strike failed to connect, and because he exerted too much force, he stumbled and almost fell forward.

Taking advantage of Shen Luo’s unstable stance, the ghost swiftly reached out with its pitch-black ghost hands and reached for Shen Luo’s neck.

Shen Luo inwardly cursed, but he had yet to steady himself and it was too late to avoid it.

At this critical moment, a sudden strong wave of foul smell came, and a large amount of black dog blood splashed over from the side. It seemed that the little girl saw that the situation was not good, and she threw the black dog blood in the wooden bucket over.

The ghost was hit squarely by the black dog blood, issuing a painful scream. The black Qi on its body was evaporated quite a bit, and its figure also became a lot more transparent in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Luo rolled on the spot and dodged to the side of the little girl, a cold sweat on his back.

However, the little girl’s actions showed signs of angering the ghost. Its eyes were filled with murderous intent, and it swiftly turned around and rushed forward, stretching its hands swiftly one after another.

With a “swoosh”.

Its two arms shot out like ropes, covering a span of two or three yards in an instant, and like lightning, respectively grabbed Shen Luo and the girl’s necks.

Shen Luo only felt his throat was grabbed by five cold fingers, followed by an overwhelming force. Instantly, his feet lifted off the ground.

He and the little girl were lifted up in the air.

Shen Luo tried to reach out and grab the ghost hand around his neck, only to grasp the empty air again.

Immediately after, he felt a cold Yin breath transmitted through the ghost’s hand, pouring into his body, as if countless icy bugs suddenly entered his body.

At this time, Shen Luo only felt his breathing became difficult, his whole body was extremely cold, and even his bones seemed to be freezing stiff.

With the last bit of strength, he held his breath and activated the Small Transformation Yang Skill, trying to mobilize the Yang Gang power at his Dantian to flow towards the eight runes on his chest.

This was his last hope.

Although he had miraculously survived twice when confronted with death before, and even returned to the previous point in time, who knew if such a situation would occur again?

He didn’t want to place his bet on something he had no control over.

While he was pondering, a stream of Yang Gang Qi was led to the first “exorcism charm” on the upper left of his chest, but this rune seemed to have no reaction to the Yang Gang Qi.

Shen Luo was mentally prepared for this and quickly initiated his skill, guiding the Yang Gang Qi towards the second “subduing curse charm” in the middle of his left chest.

As a result, there was a slight heat at the place where the rune was drawn, and it looked like there was a response.

However, before Shen Luo could rejoice, the warm sensation disappeared without a trace.

And the ghost’s hand tightens while he himself is running out of the breath he has been holding on to and can only hold for another two or three breaths.

Shen Luo was not discouraged, and forcibly led the Yang Gang Qi towards the third rune on the upper right of his chest.

This stream of Yang Gang Qi, which was concentrated in haste, was weak from the start. After passing through the first two runes, it was less than half of its original strength when it reached here.

That is to say, if this rune still cannot be activated successfully, the remaining Yang Gang Qi could probably only be used to try one more time.

This third drawing was a “warding off evil charm”.

In fact, Shen Luo had already thought it through when he was drawing it, and the reason why he chose these three runes first was that these three were the most effective against ghosts among all the runes he knew. The others, except for the “Small Thunder Talisman”, were some household protection or purification runes, which were not related to ghosts.

However, this third one was the same as the first one, with no response to the Yang Gang Qi.

At this time, Shen Luo’s face had turned red, and with his last bit of willpower, he led the now very weak Yang Gang Qi towards the final “Small Thunder Talisman”.

Although the Small Thunder Talisman is not known for its extraordinary effect on suppressing ghosts, and there is a risk of backlash if not operated properly, he had practiced drawing it skillfully, and even actually tested it on yellow paper. It is better than the other runes that are likely to be activated.

As a thin red thread, barely visible, entered the “Small Thunder Talisman” rune in the middle of his right chest, the entire rune began to emit a faint white light. However, it only flickered twice and immediately went out.

Seeing this, Shen Luo felt a chill in his heart.

Just as he was about to give up, an astonishing scene occurred!

The originally dim Small Thunder Talisman rune lit up again, emitting white light which grew brighter and brighter.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Small Thunder Talisman began to glow with bright white light, and small electric arcs could even be faintly seen dancing in the white light.
