The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 315 - 311
Chapter 315: 311
Chapter 315: 311
Shen Yu formed a Dharma seal with both hands in front of her body, lifting her hand, and immediately the water vapor in the void condensed. It transformed into dozens of water arrows shooting out, aimed at the few corpse demons charging in the front.
“Bang, bang, bang…”

There was a sound like rain hitting plantain leaves, the several corpse demons at the forefront stumbled and fell face-first onto the ground.
However, two of the corpse demons shakily got up and charged again towards them.
Shen Yu’s gaze hardened, she waved her hand again, and another two water arrows shot out.
In the void, two streaks of blue light flashed by. Two holes were blasted open in the heads of the two demons. Their eerie green eyes dimmed and they collapsed on the ground, never to get up again.
“Their weakness is in their heads, only by decapitating them or piercing through can we completely kill them.” Shen Yu shouted again.
As soon as she was done speaking, she removed the long water-blue gauze wrapped around her waist. With a flick of her wrist, it lunged forward like a wave, rushing towards the group of corpse demons.
Observing this, some of the Shen family members drew their weapons from beside them while others took talismanic instruments from their arms and activated them. When the corpse demons approached a bit more, they all rushed forward, engaging them in a battle.
Within the ruins of the old mansion, Shen Huayuan gathered the rest of the Shen family in a reasonably preserved house. He had all the horses unhitched from the carriage and concentrated in the courtyard outside the house.
He and another cultivator, Shen Quan, guarded the people from the front and back, providing vigilant protection.
Just then, he remembered – in the chaotic situation just now, he had only thought of gathering the clan members who weren’t practitioners. In his haste, he had forgotten about Shen Luo, who was away from everyone else.
“Shen Quan, you guard here alone for a moment. I will go and bring Shen Luo over as well.” Shen Huayuan said after a moment of hesitation.
“Family Head, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect everyone alone. Since he’s a cultivator, he should be capable of protecting himself.” Shen Quan expressed his concern.
“Though he’s a cultivator, he’s gravely injured and his cultivation level has not yet recovered. It’s too dangerous for him to remain outside alone. As a member of the Shen family, we can’t just let him die,” said Shen Huayuan with a frown.
“Miss has already saved him once, we, we have done enough…” Shen Quan spoke with urgency.
Shen Huayuan frowned, his expression uncertain. He couldn’t help but recall the words his daughter had spoken earlier. If Shen Luo was really a Soul Condensing cultivator, his recovery would hold great significance for the Shen family.
Seeing Shen Huayuan still hesitating, Shen Quan could not help but entreat again, “Family Head, observe the conditions in this room first….”
On hearing this, Shen Huayuan lowered his gaze and surveyed the room.
There were dozens of people crammed together sitting on the ground: men and women, young and strong adults, children of tender years. But they were only a small part of the vast Shen family clan.
The majority of the clan members, the elderly and the weak, had either voluntarily or forcefully stayed back when the city fell, leaving the hope of survival to these people.
Protecting these people meant protecting the future of the Shen family.
Looking at the terrified expressions on their faces and the remnant spark of hope in their eyes, Shen Huayuan could only heave a deep sigh, silently walk back to the wall, and stand with his hands clasped behind him.
Seeing this, Shen Quan heaved a sigh of relief. But just as he had exhaled, the roof above them collapsed with a boom, creating a large hole.
A terrifying corpse demon, twice as large as the average, descended from the sky amidst the rubble and dust, crashing directly onto Shen Quan, knocking him unconscious.
The people inside the house screamed in terror, all of them frantically getting to their feet and running in chaotic patter, like frightened rabbits.
Shen Huayuan’s heart tightened, and with a wave of his hand, the rotten door fell to shambles. He shouted to the people, “Run to the outside.”
The people of the Shen family kept screaming, unable to calm down in the panic.
“Don’t panic!”
Left with no choice, Shen Huayuan had to step forward, single-handedly grabbing two clan members who had lost their presence of mind and were running wildly. He swung his arms, and was the first to send them flying out.
The others, seeing this, hurriedly ran towards the door.
The corpse demon that had landed inside the house wasn’t about to let its blood meal escape so easily. It reached out its huge hand full of long, sharp nails and wildly grabbed towards a child from the Shen family.
The child, stumbling and almost falling down, was about to fall into the demon’s grasp.
At this moment, a snow-white light flashed through the hall; a thunderous “boom” reverberated; a bolt of lightning fell from the void, fiercely striking the demon’s arm.
With a “hiss”, a horrifying wound mutilated the corpse demon’s arm, releasing a puff of green smoke, emanating a revolting stench and streams of black, rotting liquid.
The demon itself, being an entity of darkness, was fearful of thunder and lightning. It roared in anger, its eerie green eyes filled with fury. However, it did not dare to continue attacking and instead turned its gaze towards Shen Huayuan.
A young man of the Shen family seized the opportunity to bend down, picked up that child, and rushed towards the courtyard.
After Shen Huayuan threw that small thunder talisman, he took out a crimson sword about the size of a palm from his arm and pasted a yellow talisman paper on it before throwing it directly.
The crimson sword immediately shone with a dazzling light, increasing in size to about two feet long. The entire blade was flashing with a scorching glow as it directly rushed towards the corpse demon’s head.
Seeing this, the corpse demon let out a sharp howl, raised its remaining arm, and grabbed the crimson talisman sword with fingers akin to hooks.
Immediately, the talisman sword’s red light intensified, and the searing light it emitted became stronger. The edge of the sword created a high intensity friction with the demon’s arm, resulting in a stalemate where neither could subdue the other.
Shen Huayuan’s brow furrowed, hoping in his heart that Shen Yu and others would soon perceive the situation here and come to their aid.
However, it didn’t go as he wished. Before Shen Yu and others could come to their aid, the wall of the house collapsed with a bang, and another even larger corpse demon charged at Shen Huayuan, covered in dust.
There was only a dull “thump”.
Shen Huayuan felt as if he had been hit by a small mountain. His body flew horizontally and crashed into a roof pillar, breaking it, and then he fell to the ground in the courtyard like a sack of flour.
He tried to stand up but couldn’t help but vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.
The Shen family members who had just escaped to the courtyard saw Shen Quan toppled unconscious, and the family head vomiting blood. They were all terrified beyond measure. The young children couldn’t help but cry out, combined with the terrified neighing of the horses in the courtyard, it was total chaos.
Right then, the two corpse demons from the house charged out. They didn’t give Shen Huayuan any chance to catch his breath. One headed toward him, and the other dove into the crowd.
