The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 39: Chapter 38: Making a Last Stand

Shen Luo ignored the others, and focused intently on the Black Wolf, his eyes suddenly gleaming after a moment.

He scoffed coldly, holding a knife in one hand and a bundle in the other, and strode towards Yu Meng.

Seeing the middle-aged man tragically killed, Yu Meng was filled with righteous anger. He roared and charged forward, avoiding the swipe of the Black Wolf’s paw and brandishing a black blade in return.

There was a “hiss” sound!

A black shadow flashed through the air, leaving a gaping wound several feet long on the Black Wolf, blood splattering.

Shen Luo, prepared for this moment, jumped forward, wielding the black blade and thrusting it into the void in front of Yu Meng.

He put his all into this stab, causing the air to throb around the blade.

Those around him were taken aback by Shen Luo’s actions.

The Black Wolf, infuriated by the injury to its abdomen, turned its head sharply towards Yu Meng. Unexpectedly, a black long knife appeared in its line of sight, with its tip aiming straight at its forehead.

Unable to halt, it moved forward, effectively putting its own head onto the blade.

With a “crack” sound, the black blade penetrated the Black Wolf’s head, going in until the hilt.

The giant beast roared in madness, shivering uncontrollably, and after stumbling forward for a few steps, its enormous body fell to the ground with a thunderous thud.

Despite retracting his hand early, Shen Luo was hit by a powerful force that sent him staggering backwards a few steps before he could regain his footing.

However, as soon as he regained balance, he immediately lunged in another direction, throwing the bundle in his hand with all his might.

There was a “thud” sound.

The bundle, as if it has hit something midair, exploded and a cloud of dust spread, revealing a blurry image of a wolf beast on the spot.

It was the Green Wolf that had previously killed Shen Luo with its ability to turn invisible.

The Green Wolf, caught off guard and forced out of its invisibility, seemed surprised, pausing for a split second.

Shen Luo was waiting for this moment. He quickly flipped over his both hands, holding a Small Thunder Talisman and a Yuan Stone, infusing the power of the Yuan Stone into the talisman.

A “pop” sound could be heard!

White lightning shot out, crossing several meters in an instant, arriving in front of the Green Wolf and striking down.

The Green Wolf’s eyes filled with fear and rage, it growled, its body materialized immediately. At the same time, all its hairs raised, each one emanating a bright green light. In the blink of an eye, a green light shield formed around it.

A loud bang resonated!

The nearby void instantly turned blistering hot!

The green shield twisted continuously, with countless tiny sparks flickering on its surface, but it did not shatter completely.

A feeling of dread settled in Shen Luo’s heart, this was beyond his expectation.

At this moment, a shrill shriek came from within the green shield.

Shen Luo only saw a flash of green light, and a green wind blade an inch long was tearing through the air towards him.

“No good.”

He dodged in a panic but the wind blade was too fast, and a mortal’s body simply couldn’t evade it easily.

A “squelch” sound was heard!

His left arm was severed from the elbow, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

“Ah!”

The intense pain from his lost limb twisted Shen Luo’s face, and with a scream, he fell to the ground.

At that moment, the blue light shield and electric light in the distance vanished almost simultaneously, and the figure of the Green Wolf reappeared.

The monster, upon seeing Shen Luo fall, glowed more fiercely in its eyes. It opened its mouth wide, intent on ending the human who had interfered with its plan.

“whoosh”

A long black object shot from the side, wrapping around the Green Wolf’s neck, securely binding it. It was a black whip.

On the other end, gripping the whip, was none other than Yu Meng, who was tugging with all his might.

The Green Wolf was pulled upright so swiftly that the Green Wind Blade it was about to unleash shot off into the high sky instead.

“Leave this to me, you lot needn’t worry. Quickly, go to the City Gate!” Yu Meng roared.

Hearing this, the nearby people quickly prioritized and headed for the City Gate, joining the fight against the Black Wolf Group.

Although their numbers were small, their timely arrival brought a temporary respite to the precarious battle situation.

“Hold on Brother Shen, let me deal with this beast first!” Yu Meng’s eyes were tinged with red. He shouted towards the fallen Shen Luo, forcefully tugging the black whip with one hand while taking out two objects from his bosom with the other – a Blood Talisman and a Yuan Stone.

He quickly recited spells, and as the Yuan Stone shattered, a dazzling blood light emanated from the Blood Talisman. It grew more and more intense, quickly shrouding half of Yu Meng’s arm in the blink of an eye.

Sensing the astonishing fluctuation of the blood light on Yu Meng’s hand, the Green Wolf showed a hint of fear. Its body shrunk instantly and, with a whoosh, it struggled free from the black whip. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a green shadow that shot away into the distance.

“Beast, don’t run!”

A peculiar red glow covered Yu Meng’s face. He crushed the talisman and threw a punch into thin air towards the Green Wolf.

A piercing screech echoed!

A blood-red light arrow, as thick as a bowl and several feet long, erupted from his fist, vanishing into thin air with a flash.

At almost the same time, the Green Wolf, which had flown dozens of feet away, let out a death cry. Like a small bird shot by an arrow, it fell from mid-air.

“thud”

The massive wolf’s body hit the ground hard. A gaping bloody hole appeared in its neck and blood quickly soaked half of its body.

The Green Wolf’s eyes revealed a fear of death. It struggled to raise its head to look at the half-human half-wolf creature in the sky, but before it could lift its head, its eyes went blank. After twitching twice, it was motionless.

Seeing the Green Wolf slain, everyone cheered excitedly.

However, at this moment, Yu Meng’s cheeks were flushed and his breathing was extremely rapid. He looked extraordinarily weary, his legs swayed a bit and he dropped onto the ground.

“Young Master, are you alright?” Yu Meng’s three guards ran over from who knows where.

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Quickly, check on Brother Shen. He’s badly injured. Give him this to take!” With difficulty, Yu Meng pulled out a small blood-red bottle from his bosom and threw it to one of the men with a dark complexion.

Blood was still flowing from Shen Luo’s amputated arm, turning half of his body red. He was on the verge of passing out.

“Young Master, this is a Small Returning Pill. If you give it to him…” The man with the dark complexion’s expression changed when he recognized the bottle in his hands.

“If it wasn’t for Brother Shen, who discovered the Demon Wolves’ trick in time, the City Gate would have fallen by now. Stop wasting time!” Yu Meng said sternly.

On hearing his words, the man paused, then seeing the seriousness on Yu Meng’s face, he hurriedly nodded and approached Shen Luo.

He tore a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothing and tightly bandaged Shen Luo’s wound. Then he poured out a blood-red pill from the little bottle and administered it to him.

Shen Luo felt a gradually increasing coldness spreading over his body as if he was sinking into the icy depths of a cold lake. His consciousness was becoming blurry.

“I can’t hold on any longer! Are I going to die again…” he thought, somewhat unwilling.

Just then, a warm current suddenly entered his body, his blurred consciousness began to clear, and his body felt as if it was being lifted up by a force.

Regaining consciousness, Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes.

“Brother Shen, are you okay?” Yu Meng had been sitting by his side, his face showing deep concern.
