Chapter 110: Senior Ancestor
In the void before the old man, a peach wood law sword entirely in crimson was suspended, its surface inscribed with a series of charm patterns that Shen Luo could not understand, but a mere look was enough to identify its extraordinary nature.
What was peculiar, however, was that not just this levitating sword, but also the three figures confronting each other, were all inexplicably frozen in their places currently, as though a freeze spell had been cast upon them all simultaneously.
Shen Luo dared not make any reckless moves. Instead, he cautiously approached some more from the side. Only then did he get a close enough look to identify the faces of the two people suspended in the air – they were frighteningly the green-glowing empty eye sockets of two dried up ghouls.
At the same time, a ‘zeng zeng’ sound, similar to a tense string on the stringed instruments, also reached his ears intermittently.
Shen Luo observed carefully, and only then did he finally notice that the thin old Daoist had almost invisible black silk threads wound around him. Covered by the thin layer of green light glowing from his Taoist robe, however, it was hard to detect.
Those two dried up ghouls were indeed gaping wide, emitting black silk threads from their mouths, tying down the suspended red magic sword tightly. Amidst the intense billowing thick black fog around it, continuous movements of densely clustered crimson runes bumping and attacking the ghoul’s body could be seen. The two seemed to act as one attacking and one defending army, locked in a close combat that couldn’t be separated.
“So the three are not immobile, but have formed a peculiar balance where every party can’t do anything against the other,” Shen Luo realized this, hesitated no more, formed a magic spell with both hands, and violently swung his sleeve, commanding, “Go!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a big wind blew, and a white light as fast as an arrow shot out from within his sleeve with a ‘whoosh’ sound.
A dull thud ‘peng’ followed.
