Chapter 1842: Chapter 1838: Descendants of the Witch Clan
"Fire Daoist friend, don’t you want to be reincarnated and start anew? Your divine soul has been restored, so you should be able to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation again, or, like the Ancestral Dragon Soul, find a body to possess and be reborn," Shen Luo said.
"If my divine soul had been restored ten thousand years earlier, I might have chosen to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, but now I have long abandoned this idea. Having been a Tool Spirit for so many years, I’ve grown accustomed and do not wish to return to the mortal world," Fire Spirit Child said after a brief silence, shaking his head.
Seeing Fire Spirit Child say this, Shen Luo nodded and said no more.
"Speaking of which, what problem did you encounter earlier that you wanted to ask me about?" Fire Spirit Child changed the topic, inquiring.
"We just encountered a strange half-human half-fish demon. Even after smashing its head, we couldn’t kill it, and if left alone, it would slowly heal. Ao Hong and the others couldn’t recognize the origin of this demon, so I wanted to ask if you had ever heard of it," Shen Luo described the situation about the half-human monster.
"Such a demon exists? That’s quite interesting. But Young Master Shen, you didn’t completely destroy that creature’s body, right?" Fire Spirit Child asked with a curious look in his eyes.
"Nothing escapes the eye of Fire Daoist friend. Before I destroyed the thing with Gold Thunder, I secretly kept a small part of it," Shen Luo chuckled and moved his finger.
A white jade box appeared in front of Fire Spirit Child, containing over a dozen blue scales from the half-human monster.
Fire Spirit Child picked up one of the scales and probed it with divine sense, raising an eyebrow and expressing a light surprise:
"How strange!"
"What did Fire Daoist friend discover?" Shen Luo immediately asked.
He had checked these fish scales many times without any findings.
"It’s hard to say right now. Let me conduct a more thorough investigation," Fire Spirit Child replied, becoming serious and using the Three Xiaos Mystic Sound Technique to sense the fish scales.
Seeing this, Shen Luo did not disturb him, using his divine sense to monitor the situation within the Free and Easy Mirror while continuing to move forward.
A small mountain-like tower ruin appeared ahead, blocking the path of the group.
This tower stood a hundred feet tall, exceptionally majestic, with a thick dark green vine entwined around its body, the vine twisted like a huge ink dragon.
"Black Water Source Vine!" Shen Luo exclaimed softly.
"Oh, is it that immortal vine that can produce the Black Water Source Fruit? It really seems to be this vine. The Black Water Source Fruit on it has already ripened, what a stroke of luck!" Ao Hong said with delight after releasing divine sense to probe the dark vine on the tower.
At the center of the vine inside the tower, a cluster of black water light shone. It was indeed a black immortal fruit, emanating a stunning spiritual power fluctuation.
The Black Water Source Fruit is a very special immortal fruit, similar to the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit found in the Yunmeng Marsh, with the ability to unlock the acupoints of the human body and aid in advancing to the True Immortal Stage.
"Black Water Source Fruit!" Yuan Qiu rejoiced upon hearing this.
With Shen Luo’s assistance, his damaged divine soul had been repaired, and his cultivation level had further advanced, just a step away from reaching the True Immortal Stage.
This Black Water Source Fruit was exactly what he urgently needed to help make that leap, so he immediately flew toward the tower in eagerness.
"Be careful, there are demons lurking in the tower!" Shen Luo hurriedly warned.
Before the words left his mouth, a massive black shadow shot out from the tower, sweeping toward Yuan Qiu like a giant blade, cleaving a bright water wave in the sea with tremendous speed.
Shen Luo still needed Yuan Qiu to help him refine Gu, and with a flick of his sleeve,
a red sword shadow sliced through the black shadow, cutting it in two, with black blood spurting out—it was a black tentacle full of bulging bumps.
The sound of painful cries echoed from the tower, as a giant black shadow emerged, a sea monster resembling an octopus, covered all over with disgusting purple-black pustules, terrifyingly grotesque.
Yuan Qiu seemed confident that Shen Luo would handle the trouble for him, ignoring the octopus sea monster and flying straight into the tower ruin.
Shen Luo frowned slightly and formed a sword technique with his finger.
The red sword shadow suddenly enlarged several times, bursting out with a crimson sword light dozens of feet long that appeared above the head of the octopus sea monster with a flash, descending like a thunderbolt.
Water and fire do not coexist; the nearby sea water was driven back completely by the powerful Sword Qi.
The octopus sea monster showed a terrified expression, raising its tentacles to try to block, but the black tentacle only lifted halfway before being cut down by the red sword light.
"Screech!"
The sea monster was cut in half, beyond death.
At this moment, Yuan Qiu had already flown into the high tower, snatched the Black Water Source Fruit, and was about to return.
Suddenly, a blue shadow flashed in the sea water behind him, and two large blue arms appeared out of thin air, fiercely grabbing at his back.
Outside, Shen Luo’s expression changed sharply, and he spat out a green saber shadow, which was the Hongming Saber.
The Pure Yang Sword is fire-based, being greatly suppressed in both power and speed underwater, while the Hongming Saber’s power leans towards coldness, remaining largely unaffected here.
Sure enough, the Hongming Saber’s speed was not hindered in the slightest, flashing behind Yuan Qiu, its icy blade light engulfing the two blue palms, exuding a mysteriously devouring force.
The blue hands were very wary of the icy blade light, hastily retracting and retreating.
With a flash of lightning, Shen Luo’s figure appeared beside Yuan Qiu, grasping the void with his hand.
Five face-basin-sized thunderballs shot out from his hand, striking the two blue palms fiercely.
"Boom" "Boom" A series of thunderclap sounds erupted, and the two blue hands shattered instantly, revealing an even larger half-human half-fish demon, whose face showed fear as it turned and fled into the distance.
Golden lightning flashed on Shen Luo’s arm again, and he was about to capture the creature.
"Wait, Young Master Shen, I know what this thing is, let it escape!" Fire Spirit Child’s voice suddenly rang out.
At the same time, a faint white light shot from the Free and Easy Mirror, vanishing into the half-human monster’s body.
Shen Luo raised an eyebrow and dispersed the lightning on his arm.
The half-human monster, narrowly escaping death, transformed into a blue shadow and fled in terror, disappearing into the boundless deep sea in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Shen, why let that half-human beast escape?" Ao Hong and others flew over, asking in confusion.
"This demon is useless dead; only alive can it serve its purpose. No need to doubt, just follow me," Shen Luo said with a faint smile, sweeping his sleeve to gather everyone, and pursued the escaping half-human monster.
Ao Hong, Nie Caizhu, and others, seeing Shen Luo’s confident demeanor, did not question further. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
"It seems Fire Daoist friend has already finished investigating. What is that half-human monster, exactly?" Shen Luo, not understanding Fire Spirit Child’s motives, communicated with him while on the move.
"Don’t rush, I’ll explain the origin of this creature first; this half-human monster can be considered a descendant of the Witch Clan," Fire Spirit Child said, startling him.
"The Witch Clan! But why didn’t I sense any witchcraft power inside it?" Shen Luo was taken aback and asked, confused.
Though he did not possess the Witch Clan bloodline like Nie Caizhu, he had interacted with them several times and was not unfamiliar with witchcraft power. He had sensed no such power in that half-human monster.
Moreover, if there was witchcraft power in that creature, even if he hadn’t sensed it, Nie Caizhu should have.
