In the smoke and dust, Shen Luo did not retreat at all. Instead, he took a big step forward and came to the front of the Rhinoceros General. He raised his elbow and hit its bulging abdomen.
"Bang!" There was another dull sound.
"Uh …"
The Rhinoceros General groaned. Its whole body was like a stone that had been overturned. It rolled a few times on the ground before stopping.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone saw that Shen Luo was squatting beside the Rhinoceros General. His hands were pointing at its forehead, and there was a Lightning Talisman under his fingertips.
"How is it? Do you admit defeat?" Shen Luo asked with a smile.
The Rhinoceros General rolled its eyes and could barely see the talisman hanging on its forehead. It straightened its neck and said, "I'm out to make a living. If I knew this day would come, you should have done it. I'll be a hero again in 18 years."
"Did you read some strange books?" Shen Luo felt that the words were familiar. He could not help but hold his forehead and said gloomily.
In many folktale novels, some heroes of the jungle would always say such words before they died.
"You are obviously a human. How can your body be so hard and stronger than mine? I admit defeat. If you want to kill me, do it quickly. Give me a quick death. "Hearing Shen Luo's question, the Rhinoceros Spirit was a little discouraged and said.
Shen Luo heard this and stopped teasing it. He withdrew his fingers and put away the Lightning Talisman.
"Okay, I didn't say I wanted to kill you. Let's go."
When Shen Luo said this, everyone in the Shen family, including Shen Huayuan, was shocked.
"Immortal Master Shen, that guy is a demon. You can't let it go …" A young man from the Shen family shouted.
"Shen Daoyou, releasing a tiger back to the mountain will cause endless trouble." Another cultivator from the Shen family also shouted.
"Kill it, kill it …" More and more people began to yell.
Shen Huayuan's eyes darkened as he looked at the scene in front of him. He didn't say anything. He didn't encourage Shen Luo, nor did he try to dissuade his clansmen.
In fact, not only was the Shen family surprised, but even General Rhinoceros himself had a look of disbelief. He sat up and stared blankly at Shen Luo.
Shen Luo turned a blind eye to the cries of his people. He just looked at the Rhinoceros Spirit and said, "Why are you still here? Do you really want me to kill you?"
"You're not going to kill me? Why didn't you kill me? "General Rhinoceros couldn't help but ask as if he had encountered the biggest problem in his life.
"How many places occupied by monsters are as clean as this place here? Which one of them doesn't have a pile of bones and a rampant baleful aura? "Shen Luo looked around and asked.
"Maybe I ate it all?" General Rhino's eyes were still filled with suspicion as he said.
"When you fought with me earlier, you didn't have any killing intent in your movements. It's clear that you're not a bloodthirsty person. Well, I've already let you go, but you still don't want to leave. Could it be that you really want to die? "Shen Luo said helplessly.
General Rhinoceros heard this and finally believed that Shen Luo really didn't intend to kill him.
"You human, you're so strange … The people I've met before are either begging for mercy because they're weak, or killing monsters wantonly because they're strong. You're a special case. I'm convinced of my loss today. If we meet again in the future, I'll block your way and rob you. "General Rhinoceros looked at Shen Luo for a while and said.
"Okay, then we'll see if you have the ability." Shen Luo smiled and said.
General Rhinoceros didn't say anything. He picked up the Ghost Head Hammer and left without looking back.
When the Shen family saw that Shen Luo had let the monster go just like that, they were all very puzzled. They all whispered and discussed.
Shen Luo didn't intend to explain anything. He just said goodbye to Shen Huayuan and returned to the carriage. The group set off again, heading all the way to Jianye.
In a flash, more than half a month had passed.
At night, in a deserted mountain village, several bonfires were lit, and the Shen family stayed for the night.
The past half a month had been a rare peaceful time for them. Along the way, they didn't encounter any powerful monsters or evil spirits. Today, they even hunted two low-level monsters, so they set up a camp here to roast monster meat.
Shen Huayuan, Shen Quan, and the others were gathered around the largest bonfire in the village, but there was no sign of Shen Luo and Shen Yu.
"Master, why don't I see Elder Shen and Sister Yu?" A junior of the Shen family asked as he was given a piece of greasy monster meat.
"They're all cultivating. Don't disturb them," Shen Huayuan said with a smile.
In fact, it wasn't just Shen Yu. The other cultivators of the Shen family had more or less received guidance from Shen Luo during this period of time, and each of them had made some progress in their cultivation. It was only because Shen Yu was close to the key point of breaking through to the middle stage of Inedia that she was so diligent in her cultivation.
As for Shen Luo, because he'd already undone the restriction on his Dantian, his cultivation had recovered to the early stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, and he was currently comprehending the Three-Star Devil Annihilation Divine Ability mentioned in the Yellow Court Scripture.
Previously, when he was in the Village of Longevity, he was troubled by all kinds of chores. Although he had some understanding of this supernatural power, in the end, he didn't fully comprehend it, let alone successfully cultivate it.
Now, it would still take some time for his cultivation to return to its original level. If he could cultivate this Three Stars of Demon Slaying now, even if it was only the most basic power of one star, it would be of great help.
Tonight, it was rare to see that there were no thick clouds overhead. Through the dark night, one could see the sky full of stars.
Shen Luo was sitting alone in an open space at the entrance of the village. His palms were facing the sky as he looked up at the night sky.
Unlike his usual meditation, he did not close his eyes. Instead, his eyes were wide open as he stared at the deep night sky. His eyes were sparkling and seemed to reflect the entire starry sky.
He silently chanted the Yellow Court Scripture in his heart, and the starry sky in his line of sight gradually changed.
Shen Luo didn't know if it was because his body was getting lighter and lighter as he flew up into the sky, or because the stars in the sky were getting heavier and heavier as they fell to the earth. He only felt that his body was overlapping with the stars in the sky.
He suddenly looked around and saw that there were spots of light around him. Various kinds of stars, green or red, bright or dark, far or near, were all like breathing, flashing brightly and dimly.
Shen Luo looked at the countless stars, and a feeling of insignificance suddenly rose in his heart. It was as if he had become a speck of dust among the billions of stars. He subconsciously adjusted his breathing and merged with the flickering and dimming of the stars.
One bright and one dark, one breath and one breath …
Suddenly, he came back to his senses and found that he was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, but the galaxy above his head had changed.
Countless tiny particles formed by the power of the stars fell like dust under a light beam and fell into Shen Luo's eyes.
Shen Luo subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but he forced himself not to move.
His two eyes were like two lakes that bore the weight of the raindrops falling from the sky. Surprisingly, they were also filled with the brilliance of the stars.
