Shen Huayuan endured his injuries and waved his hand. The talisman sword on the ground lit up again and shot out a red light. However, it didn't hit the Corpse Ghost that was attacking him. Instead, it stabbed towards the back of the Corpse Ghost's head that was pouncing on the others.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was only an inch away from the back of the Corpse Ghost's head, the Corpse Ghost suddenly turned around and raised a withered claw to block in front of its forehead.
"Clang!" A sharp sound rang out!
The crimson talisman sword pierced the center of the claw and made a metallic sound, but it couldn't pierce through.
Seeing this, Shen Huayuan couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the Corpse Ghost had already swung its claws. Five sharp claws slashed down like blades towards the top of his head. However, he couldn't recall the talisman sword in time.
At this moment, through the gap between the Corpse Ghost's claws, he suddenly saw a figure on the eaves behind him. After a few steps, the figure jumped and pounced over.
"It's him!" Shen Huayuan exclaimed softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Luo's feet had already used the momentum of the fall to step heavily on the ghoul's shoulder.
Like Shen Quan before, the vicious Corpse Ghost was suppressed by a huge force. Its body bent and directly knelt on the ground. The sharp claws that were waving at Shen Huayuan also hooked into the ground like a rake.
Shen Luo bent down and grabbed the Corpse Ghost's head with both hands. Like picking a watermelon, he suddenly twisted it.
"Kacha!"
A crisp sound came from the Corpse Ghost's neck. Shen Luo's hands pulled up and easily plucked the Corpse Ghost's head off.
Shen Huayuan looked at this scene and was simply stunned.
He knew very well how tough the Corpse Ghost's body was. The Little Thunder Talisman had only made a small cut on its body, but Shen Luo had pulled its head off with his bare hands. How much strength did he have to be able to do that?
Seeing this, the other Corpse Ghost abandoned the others and suddenly turned around to pounce at Shen Luo.
Shen Luo nimbly leaped over the ghoul's head. Then, he skillfully took out two small thunder charms and patted them on the ghoul's temples.
As a wisp of magic power flowed out of his fingertips, two thunderous roars exploded!
A burst of bright white light flashed as two streaks of dazzling white lightning drilled into the zombie's head from both sides at the same time. They met in the middle of the zombie's head and directly blasted its head open.
After half a night of cultivation, even though Shen Luo had only unlocked half of his spiritual meridians, he was finally able to use some of his mana.
His movements were clean and efficient. Before the Shen family could react, the battle had already ended. There were even quite a few people who were fleeing out of the ruined courtyard in a panic.
"Don't run, we're safe …" Shen Huayuan was the first to react.
Hearing the Patriarch's shout, the people of the Shen Family gradually stopped running away and looked over one after another.
When they saw the two corpses lying in the courtyard and Shen Luo standing beside them, how could they not understand what was going on? They were shocked, scared, sad, and happy.
"We survived …" Someone said with a sobbing tone.
"Did he save us?" Someone was puzzled.
"Boohoo …" More of them were the wantonly cries of children.
"Senior Shen, thank you very much." Shen Huayuan sincerely admired Shen Luo after seeing him in action.
"No need to be so polite. Let's quickly check if there are any casualties." Shen Luo helped him up and said.
When Shen Huayuan heard this, his expression immediately changed. He rushed into the dilapidated house and dug out Shen Quan, who was buried under a pile of rubble and ruins.
After checking, he found that Shen Quan was only injured and fainted. There was no danger to his life. Only then did he feel relieved.
At this time, the battle outside the ruins of the old house had also ended. Shen Yu was the first to rush back. When she saw the mess inside, she was shocked.
"Father …" She cried out and rushed into the house. Seeing that Shen Huayuan was safe and sound and was taking care of Shen Quan, and Shen Luo was standing to the side with his arms crossed, she was slightly relieved.
"How is it outside?" Shen Huayuan raised his head and asked.
"The Corpse Ghosts have been beaten back, but … Shen Zhao was attacked and killed in battle. Shen Chuang and Chen Chong were also heavily injured." Shen Yu's back was to the door as she frowned, unable to hide her sorrow.
The rest of the Shen family outside the house were still in shock. At this moment, they were all staring at her. She couldn't let them see her weak state.
In the end, after a round of counting, it was found that besides Shen Zhao who died in battle, there were also three ordinary members of the Shen family who died. There were more than ten people who were injured. No one dared to stay here any longer. They could only continue their journey through the night.
Shen Luo knew that these people were all descendants of the Shen family. Although there was some sadness in his heart, it wasn't strong. After all, he had seen too many things that were more tragic than this in the dream.
…
Time flew by, and seven days had passed.
Shen Luo cultivated the Yellow Court Scripture day and night. Finally, he had connected five meridians including the Shaoyin Heart Meridian, the Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, and the Ren Meridian. Now, his strength had recovered to the middle stage of Inedia.
After the incident with the Corpse Ghost, the members of the Chen Clan didn't have the slightest doubt towards Shen Luo's identity and strength. Moreover, Shen Yu would come over to chat with Shen Luo whenever she had the time and ask Shen Luo about the troubles she faced in her cultivation.
Through some understanding, Shen Luo found out that although the cultivation technique that the Shen family cultivated was called the Water Element Technique, it was actually an improved version of the nameless cultivation technique.
And the person who passed down this cultivation technique for the Shen family was himself.
In the beginning, Shen Luo still couldn't understand. Even if he wanted to pass down the cultivation technique for the Shen family, why didn't he directly leave behind the nameless cultivation technique? Why did he have to improve and simplify it? Later on, he thought about it and understood that the nameless cultivation technique was very difficult to understand. Back then, he had also quickly learned it by chance. For others to cultivate, it was even more difficult.
But even if it was the improved Water Element Technique, it was still difficult for the Shen family's descendants to cultivate. In these thousand years, no one had succeeded in cultivating it completely.
In the past two to three hundred years, the situation had deteriorated. Many people couldn't even connect the cultivation technique. And Shen Yu, who was able to cultivate to the Inedia stage through her own continuous exploration, was already the one with the best achievements in these years.
Although Shen Luo's understanding of the nameless cultivation technique was deeper than theirs, due to his identity, he couldn't directly explain it. He could only quote from others and use other examples to solve Shen Yu's doubts.
Fortunately, Shen Yu's aptitude and comprehension were indeed very good. Shen Luo only needed to give a little guidance and this woman would always be able to gain something. After a few times, she was already able to faintly touch the boundary of the Inedia stage.
Therefore, during these few days, other than Shen Luo who had been cultivating in the carriage, Shen Yu also rarely showed her face.
After experiencing the previous Corpse Ghost incident, Shen Luo's mood was originally very heavy, but with the gradual recovery of Shen Luo's strength and the loosening of the bottleneck of the Inedia stage, the stone that was pressing down on his heart finally lightened.
