Chapter 290 Dark Shadow

When Chen Yun heard Zi Ling's question, he smiled slightly, and when he was about to answer, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly raised his palm, releasing a large green light, which instantly swept Zi Ling into it, and then he pulled it hard, holding it tightly in his arms.

Then, it turned into a green light that shot up into the sky, and in the blink of an eye it had risen to mid-air.

The green light gradually faded, and Chen Yun reappeared holding Zi Ling, looking down with a serious expression.

Zi Ling's face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly broke free from Chen Yun's arms, also looking down with full of confusion.

They saw a pitch-black figure standing quietly on the ground where they had just stood, looking up at them coldly and ruthlessly.

It turned out that the "Marquis of Nanlong" had appeared there quietly at some point!

He had planned to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak underground and launch a surprise attack.

Fortunately, Chen Yun inadvertently used the Ming and Qing spiritual eyes to test it a little, otherwise he would have been hit by the opponent in one blow.

Zi Ling couldn't help but take a breath and quickly turned her head to look to the other side.

Under the five-colored light column, there was still a group of black fog flickering faintly in the lightning and flames. There seemed to be a human figure swaying in it, obviously another "Marquis of Nanlong".

Patriarch Linghu saw from afar that Chen Yun, accompanied by a beautiful female cultivator, suddenly appeared in the nearby sky.

He was extremely surprised at first, and then an ecstatic smile appeared on his face.

However, when he glanced around, he found another "Marquis of Nanlong" appeared below.

He was immediately frightened out of his wits. He called out to the woman in white in panic, and his attacking movements also slowed down.

At this moment, the "Marquis of Nanlong" under the five-colored light column glanced at the two of them expressionlessly.

Suddenly it turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared into thin air. It turned out to be just a temporary body.

Patriarch Linghu and the woman in white looked at each other, with deep fear in their eyes.

It is not difficult to create an incarnation, but being able to hide it from the consciousness of these two Nascent Soul cultivators is truly horrifying.

You know, they had been staring at Nanlong Hou in the black fog, not even daring to blink. However, they still let the other party perform the Golden Cicada Escape without anyone noticing.

If the other party did not intend to secretly attack Chen Yun who was hiding nearby, but instead attacked them, then one of them must have suffered a fatal blow.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I never expected to meet you here. This is really great!"

"This demon is too powerful. The only way for the three of us to ensure our own safety is to join forces to resist it."

Ancestor Linghu shouted loudly.

When Chen Yun heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, he thought that the concealment technique he practiced had reached a level of exquisiteness that would be difficult to detect even by a master in the late Nascent Soul stage.

So he hid carefully aside, planning to find an opportunity to sneak away later.

Who would have thought that this ancient demon had already known his whereabouts and even pretended to launch a sneak attack on him.

It almost put him in danger.

It seems that this battle is inevitable no matter what!

Chen Yun nodded slightly to Elder Linghu, then suddenly turned to Zi Ling and gently admonished:

"Your cultivation level is still low. If you stay here, you will not be able to help, and you may put yourself in danger."

"So I suggest you leave this place first. Don't worry, the three of us are here to deal with this villain, he shouldn't attack you."

Although he and Zi Ling had a brief friendship, that was why he suggested that she leave first.

After all, once the battle begins, it will be difficult for them to take into account the safety of the nun.

When Zi Ling heard these words, she was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded obediently.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen has given such instructions, I will take my leave first."

"Brother Chen, you should take care of yourself too!"

Zi Ling said in a low voice.

Then she looked at the 'Marquis of Nanlong' below, and gazed deeply at the Linghu Patriarch, and then turned into a dazzling light and broke through the air.

The 'Marquis of Nanlong' below may have thought that Zi Ling's cultivation level was too low.

It was not worth his effort, or maybe he did feel some pressure facing Chen Yun and the other three.

He glanced coldly at Zi Ling who had already gone away, then retracted his gaze and locked it on Chen Yun again.

When Chen Yun saw the other party's hostile eyes, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He raised one hand, and several thick golden arcs appeared on his arm, accompanied by thunder-like sounds one after another.

The entire arm was instantly illuminated by the electric light, looking particularly dazzling!
Faced with such a powerful ancient demon, Chen Yun had no intention of continuing to test it. The first move he made was to use the evil-repelling divine thunder that was specifically designed to restrain demonic power.

Ever since he obtained this magical power, it has never let him down in fighting against evil magic.

Although this ancient demon was incredibly powerful, Chen Yun still had some confidence in the evil-repelling divine thunder.

When he saw the golden arc jumping on Chen Yun's arm, the eyelids of 'Nanlong Hou' could not help but twitch sharply and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"I know you. In the remaining memories of my possession of this body, you left a very deep impression on me."

"Although I can't remember the specifics, I can sense that the original owner of this body had great respect for you."

"Now it seems that this feeling is not groundless. Not only can you see through my sneak attack plan, but you can also control the evil-repelling divine thunder that once caused us great damage."

"It seems that it will take some effort to defeat you."

Nanlong Hou stared at Chen Yun for a long time, and finally spoke coldly.

After hearing these words, Chen Yun revealed a mocking smile. His expression remained the same, except that the golden arc on his arm had become even larger.

At the same time, he waved his sleeves, and a small blue shield rushed out. After spinning, it formed a blue light curtain that enveloped Chen Yun.

At this moment, Chen Yun took the initiative to step forward and prepare to resist the attack of "Nanlong Hou".

Patriarch Linghu and the woman in white couldn't help but feel ecstatic. They exchanged glances and felt each other's inner excitement.

Chen Yun's reputation is now at its peak, almost second only to the strong men in the late Nascent Soul stage, which gives both of them more confidence in defeating their opponents.

So the two of them quickly adjusted their breathing, whispered a few words to each other, and immediately split into two groups, preparing to support Chen Yun from both sides.

Nanlong Hou looked at Chen Yun's unwavering and determined appearance, frowned, and then grinned, revealing a fierce face. Without saying a word, he just stepped lightly on the ground, his body trembled violently, and then turned into a blurry shadow and disappeared on the spot.

Chen Yun remained calm on the surface, but he felt nervous inside and was extremely alert.

However, after a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he was still unable to detect any trace of the other party.

As expected, he is an ancient demon. With just this skill of hiding his body, he can easily suppress ordinary cultivators.

Although thinking like this in his mind, Chen Yun's face did not show too much nervousness. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was a blue light flashing in his eyes.

The highly refined Ming and Qing spiritual eyes supernatural power has been mastered in his hands and has begun to exert its magical effects.

After a moment, he gently raised his right hand, and the golden arc of light on his wrist flew out like an arrow.

It quickly changed into a giant golden net and slowly fell towards a certain location in the void.

What followed was the interweaving of lightning and roars, forming a spectacular scene.

A surprising scene happened. A black light suddenly flashed in the place that was originally empty, and the figure of Nanlonghou suddenly appeared there.

As soon as he showed up, he was startled to see countless golden arcs of light of varying sizes falling from the sky.

However, he immediately calmed down, and as his shoulders shook, a large number of afterimages emerged. After all the arcs fell to the ground, the remaining shadows around him disappeared completely.

Only he himself mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Chen Yun pursed his lips, the blue light in his eyes kept flashing, and turned his head to glance to the side.

At the same time, he raised his other arm decisively and aimed in the other direction.

Accompanied by a deafening thunder, a thick golden arc of light instantly burst out from the center of his palm, pointing directly to an ordinary area six or seven feet away.

Before the golden arc could reach the target location, the figure of 'Nanlong Hou' appeared there at the right time, as if he was taking the initiative to meet it.

He could only watch as thunder roared and electric arcs struck him.

"Marquis of Nanlong" was really shocked this time. Perhaps it could be attributed to luck once, but being able to find him accurately and without error twice in a row was definitely not a coincidence.

The other party does have the ability to see through his whereabouts.

This time, Chen Yun seized the best opportunity to attack.

When the golden arc was about to touch his body, Nanlong Hou was unable to avoid it.

He could only frown and spit out a ball of black and red magic flame from his mouth, which collided head-on with the golden arc.

With a light "puff" sound, after the flame and the golden arc met, it was like water and fire that were incompatible. At the same time, they turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into nothingness.

"Huh!" This time, it was Chen Yun's turn to change his expression.

This ancient demon actually has a way to resist the evil-repelling divine thunder!
What kind of demonic flame is this black and red flame that is so powerful?

However, Chen Yun also discovered some clues after careful observation.

When the devil flame was extinguished, the face of 'Nanlong Hou' turned pale inadvertently.

Although it was fleeting, it was obvious that this black and red devil flame was no ordinary thing to him, and it was very likely to have some connection with his essence and soul power.

Just as Chen Yun was thinking about how to use this clue, 'Nanlong Hou' eliminated Jin Hu in one fell swoop.

His body suddenly leaned forward, and his whole body stretched out strangely as if he had no bones, and instantly arrived in front of Chen Yun.

He gave Chen Yun a sinister smile, then swung his fists, which were shrouded in demonic energy, mercilessly.

Chen Yun's face was calm, and he took a half step back unhurriedly. Then thunder was heard behind him, and a pair of silver-white wings appeared faintly in the silver light.

There was another thunderclap, and Chen Yun disappeared silently in the silver arc.

When Nanlong Hou saw this scene, he was stunned at first, but after a quick glance he sneered.

"Thunder Escape Technique! You know quite a lot. What a pity, haha..."

Amidst the mocking laughter, 'Nanlong Hou' turned into a puff of black gas and also disappeared without a trace in the air.

From the time "Nanlong Hou" launched the attack, to Chen Yun releasing the evil-repelling divine thunder, to the two of them disappearing at the same time, the entire process was completed in just a short moment.

Ancestor Linghu and the woman in white, who were standing far away, saw that a fierce battle had already started between the two sides, and they were planning to immediately use their magic weapons to support Chen Yun.

However, Chen Yun and the other fought in a flash, and they had no time to attack. Now, the two of them disappeared without a trace at the same time.

This made Elder Linghu and Senior Sister Nangong Wan look at each other in astonishment.

However, the following situation immediately made them alert, and they released defensive magic weapons to protect themselves to prevent the monk named "Nanlong Hou" from taking the opportunity to attack.

After all, neither of them possessed the keen insight and magical ability like Chen Yun to see through each other's hidden magical powers.

At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out, and Chen Yun suddenly appeared about twenty feet away from the original position.

Surprisingly, at almost the same moment, the black fog behind Chen Yun spread, and the cultivator named "Nanlong Hou" also appeared at the same time.

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he swung his fist down without any scruples.

Chen Yun did not turn around to observe, but instantly sensed everything that was happening behind him through his spiritual sense.

Although he also understood that he could no longer avoid the attack, in order to resist this force.

He had no choice but to concentrate all his spiritual energy into the blue light shield, hoping to temporarily resolve the crisis.

He had previously chosen the strategy of using stillness to overcome movement, hoping to teach the other party a lesson.

But he didn't expect that he would be surrounded so soon. In addition to being surprised, he was also puzzled.

Immediately afterwards, two loud crashing sounds were heard.

This cruel feeling is very similar to what ancestor Linghu experienced before.

He experienced all the pain that Chen Yun had endured without hesitation.

The blue light curtain on his body trembled slightly, and his body was blown away like a kite with a broken string.

The large amount of magic power that had been gathered was completely dispersed by these two heavy punches, making him unable to use the Thunder Escape Technique anymore.

Looking at the 'Nanlong Hou' who was following closely behind like a gust of wind.

He sneered again and wanted to attack him. Although Chen Yun could not control his body, his face remained calm and indifferent.

He had already seen how the other party treated Ancestor Linghu, so how could he not take precautions?
Although he could no longer gather much mana at this moment, he still had other secrets to defeat the enemy. (End of this chapter)
