Chapter 61: Xue Lingling's Favor
u0010【Begin to deduce the "Spirit Shadow Step". 】
【The first year... You are fully immersed in the deduction of the technique. The true qi in your body is like a trickle, constantly trying to merge with the veins of the technique. However, the progress is slow. You frown, but you have never thought of giving up. 】
【The fifth year... Countless attempts and failures have exhausted you physically and mentally, but your eyes are more determined. Every setback becomes your motivation to move forward. 】
【The tenth year... After a long period of suffering and exploration, you finally found the key to the Spirit Shadow Step. The true qi is like a surging river in the meridians. The structure of the Spirit Shadow Step is gradually improved, and your figure flickers like a phantom during the performance. 】
【The deduction of "Spirit Shadow Step" is over! Congratulations to the host for reaching a high level of strength in the practice of "Spirit Shadow Step"! 】
Instantly, Shen Lang felt a mysterious power surging in his body, and the veins of the Spirit Shadow Step became clearer.
The black-robed master noticed the change in Shen Lang's aura, and a trace of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"What on earth is this kid doing?" The black-robed master muttered in his heart.
At this time, Shen Lang's figure became more erratic, and his speed and flexibility were greatly improved.
Xue Lingling looked at Shen Lang in surprise, not understanding why his strength suddenly increased.
Shen Lang took advantage of the black-robed master's distraction and launched an attack. He appeared at his side like a ghost and stabbed with a sword.
The black-robed master responded hastily, and his arm was cut by Shen Lang.
"Damn it!" The black-robed master was angry.
Shen Lang's figure instantly became illusory, making the black-robed master unable to find his position for a while.
Xue Lingling widened her eyes and was shocked. She had never seen Shen Lang perform such a wonderful skill.
The black-robed master frowned and observed the surroundings vigilantly, trying to find Shen Lang's trace.
At this moment, Shen Lang suddenly appeared behind the black-robed master and launched a fierce attack.
The black-robed master noticed the movement behind him and quickly turned around to resist.
"Boy, you have some skills!" The black-robed master roared.
Shen Lang snorted coldly: "Your doomsday has come!"
After that, he performed the spirit shadow step again, and his figure was erratic like a ghost, making it difficult for the black-robed master to grasp.
Xue Lingling also took the opportunity to recover some strength, waving the blood sword, and attacked the black-robed master from the other side.
The black-robed master was caught in the attack of the two. Although he was strong, he gradually felt a little powerless.
"Don't be too proud!" The black-robed master said with gritted teeth.
However, Shen Lang and Xue Lingling continued to attack, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.
Shen Lang flashed and appeared above the head of the black-robed master, and stabbed down with a sword.
The black-robed master hurriedly raised his arm to block, but his arm was numb from the blow.
Xue Lingling saw the right moment and stabbed the black-robed master in the chest with a sword.
The black-robed master dodged sideways, but was still scratched on the shoulder by the blood sword.
"Ah!" The black-robed master screamed, and his breath began to become disordered.
He looked at Shen Lang with shock on his face, and said in disbelief: "Boy, how can you have such progress and strength? Did you deliberately hide your strength before?"
Shen Lang sneered: "To deal with a villain like you, you must keep a hand!"
The black-robed master's eyes widened: "Don't be arrogant, even so, you may not be able to defeat me!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, and the dark power surged around him again, making a final struggle.
Shen Lang was not afraid at all, and looked at Xue Lingling, and they understood each other.
The two of them performed their strongest moves at the same time, and the light and darkness collided again.
This time, the power of Shen Lang and Xue Lingling prevailed, and the dark power of the black-robed master was gradually suppressed.
"No, this is impossible!" The black-robed master shouted in despair.
But his resistance was in vain. With a loud bang, the dark power completely dissipated, and the black-robed master fell heavily to the ground.
Shen Lang and Xue Lingling slowly approached, looking at the black-robed master who had no power to fight back, and their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.
Xue Lingling said: "If you do too much evil, you will die. This is your fate!"
Shen Lang nodded and said: "Take them back to the Blood Sword Sect and let the sect deal with them."
Then, his face was stern, and he looked at the black-robed master and his accomplices, and said sternly: "Return the villagers' yang energy immediately and remove the curse! Otherwise, I will torture you and make you live a life worse than death!"
The black-robed master was seriously injured at this time. He glared at Shen Lang fiercely, but under the pressure of Shen Lang's powerful momentum, he dared not resist anymore.
He gritted his teeth, reluctantly cast a spell, and began to slowly return the villagers' yang energy.
With the return of Yang Qi, the villagers' pale faces gradually regained their rosy complexion.
And those curses were also lifted one by one under the operation of the black-robed master.
Shen Lang kept a close eye on their movements to prevent them from playing any tricks. After confirming that all the villagers had returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Lingling watched the villagers gradually get better, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.
Shen Lang made a prompt decision and knocked out the two cult members. Then he said: "Senior sister, let all the villagers go first, and we will escort them back to the village safely."
Xue Lingling nodded and said: "Okay, so as to avoid any more accidents."
They untied the villagers' restraints, and the villagers survived the disaster and were full of gratitude to Shen Lang and Xue Lingling.
Under the escort of Shen Lang and Xue Lingling, the villagers slowly walked towards the village.
Along the way, everyone was silent. Everyone was still frightened by what had just happened.
Finally, they returned to the village. Seeing the villagers return safely, the other people in the village gathered around.
An old man stepped forward and bowed deeply to Shen Lang and Xue Lingling: "Thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, the consequences would be disastrous."
Shen Lang quickly helped the old man up: "Old man, you're welcome. Killing demons and eliminating evil is what we chivalrous people should do."
Xue Lingling also said: "I'm glad everyone is okay. You should be more careful in the future."
The villagers nodded one after another, their eyes full of respect.
Shen Lang and Xue Lingling watched the villagers settle down, and then they were relieved to leave.
The old man asked: "Are you going to leave now? Don't stay for a few more days, let us thank you."
Shen Lang smiled and refused: "There are other things waiting for us to deal with, so let's say goodbye."
The two of them walked quickly with the black-robed master, and soon they arrived at the mountain gate of the Blood Sword Sect.
The disciples guarding the mountain saw them return and hurriedly opened the mountain gate.
"Brother Shen Lang, Sister Xue Lingling, you are finally back!"
Shen Lang and Xue Lingling had no time to say anything more and walked straight to the sect's main hall.
