"So it's you little thieves." Just as I was feeling comfortable with my eyes closed, I suddenly heard Lan Ruo's voice. I opened my eyes and saw that Lan Ruo had already arrived at the passage in front of me, but her entire body was glowing brilliantly. Needless to say, this was Lan Ruo's soul. Thus her flesh body must be dead. I couldn't help but admire my palm strike just now.
"The body is not that important to me. I'll take yours today." Lan Ruo chuckled and extended her hand towards us. I suddenly felt the destructive mana that just damaged the cabinet attacked us again. Sure enough, the candle, the donation box, and even the table and bowls were flying towards us!
Before I could close my eyes, all these things stopped in the air in front of us, unable to move forward.
"It's enough, Hao Ning," Liu Shuai turned his head and smiled at me, then released my hand. I immediately collapsed and Long Fei helped me to a corner of the hall and sat on the ground. I scanned the hall, but I did not see A Zhe's soul. It must be collected by Long Fei.
"So it's you little bald donkey." Lan Ruo said with a cold laugh. "Last time you disturbed my plan. I'll take your lives this time!"
Liu Shuai didn't say anything but sneered, then the stuff that stopped in front of him flew back towards Lan Ruo. Unfortunately, Lan Ruo was a soul, so these things penetrated through her and smashed onto the ground.
"Insignificant skill!" Lan Ruo laughed and pointed to the sky, after which the entire roof of the hall suddenly exploded into pieces that flew upwards. The sky immediately appeared above us. A mass of dense black clouds seemed to suck people in.
"Oh my god!" Long Fei was stupefied when he raised his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky, "This, could it be?" I was worried that Liu Shuai was in danger, so I wanted to step forward to help, but it turned out that I couldn't move.
"What an erudite little mudfish!" Lan Ruo's face became serious. The light emitted from her soul was rather weak, probably due to lack of mana. Thus she used another hand to grab in the air, then her flesh body flew over and stopped in front of her. She did not even take a look at it before her hands forming a fist. Her body seemed to be pressed down by a hydraulic press. It entirely shrunk into a ball and fell onto the ground, while the remaining blood that floated in the air slowly flowed into Lan Ruo's fist.
Just then, Lan Ruo's soul started to shine brightly. Dark clouds in the sky became denser, and lightning soon formed. Thunders seemed to explode beside my ears. I had never heard of this type of thunder in my entire life.
"Thunder Sovereign of the Nine Heavens!" Lan Ruo suddenly roared. She pointed at Liu Shuai, then a few bolts of lightning that were as thick as a water tank fell from the sky, straight towards Liu Shuai!
"Little bald donkey, how dare you keep disturbing my plan! I'll make you pay! " Lan Ruo screamed, as if she wanted to blame on Liu Shuai the matter last time.
However, when the lightning bolt struck the space above Liu Shuai's head, it seemed to have entered a quagmire as it gradually became thinner and thinner. By the time it reached one meter above Liu Shuai's head, it completely disappeared.
"What's going on?" Lan Ruo cried out in shock when she saw this. Long Fei and I were also surprised that we opened our mouths wide. Although I had expected that Liu Shuai would be able to use formidable Taoist techniques after he obtained Formless Donations, I never anticipated that he would be such powerful. When I thought about Zhang Quan and Zhang Chi Hang, I was suddenly scared of what I said to them previously.
Liu Shuai smiled as he looked at Lan Ruo, not caring about her surprise, "Don't think that you're the only one who can use these magic skills."
As he spoke, Liu Shuai also pointed out with his finger. Then a light thunder was heard instantly in the sky. When we raised our heads to look at the direction of the thunder, we suddenly saw a lightening that penetrated the dark clouds. At that moment, the dark clouds were like a drop of water on a soldering iron. They instantly disappeared without a trace, and the lightning that struck at us from afar was even thicker than the hall itself, with a ball of fire around it. It struck down directly, but when it approached the hall, it contracted into a thin bolt of light and struck straight at Lan Ruo.
"Nine Heavens General Divine Thunder!" This bolt of lightning was so fast that it hit Lan Ruo just after she saw these words. Following that she became a light without sound or breath.
"Gone?" I stood up and asked when I realized I could move.
"Nope." Liu Shuai said as he looked at the light.
"Hahaha," The light dimmed, but it still transformed into Lan Ruo, just much dimmer than before. "I don't know why you little bare donkey are so strong today, but you are still unable to kill me. Fine, I admit my failure today. Next time I'll play with you again."
With that, the light was about to fly away.
"Don't escape!" Liu Shuai shouted out loud. As he rubbed his hands, eight fire pillars suddenly raised up from the ground and surrounded Lan Ruo. These fire pillars were extremely special, and on every pillar, it seemed as if countless fire dragons were dancing. The key point was that although I was very close to these fire pillars, I did not feel any heat from it. Long Fei's expression changed dramatically as he looked at these fire pillars. "Jesus, I didn't know that your friend had such an ability!"
Lan Ruo trembled in fear when she saw the fire pillars, "Heavenly Divine Fire Pillars! What's your relationship with the Blessed Immortal? "
"It's none of your business!" Liu Shuai was still unrelenting.
Lan Ruo had already gone mad. She kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Mighty, please spare me. I did not know that you have such a background. Please give some mercy. I will never dare to do anything bad in the future!"
Liu Shuai ignored her and with a wave of his hand, countless fire dragons left the fire pillars and flew towards Lan Ruo. In the blink of an eye, Lan Ruo had been surrounded by flames.
"Ah, why are you refining me? The souls I collected are all voluntarily abandoned! " From within the flame came a burst of ear-piercing sounds, "After they lost their souls, they did not die but lived better according to their wishes! I didn't hurt anyone. Why are you refining me? That's not fair!"
"Hahahaha, you think it would be the end just by refining me?" The voice became even more shrill, "Let me tell you, as long as there are people in this world who wish to exchange their souls for unrealistic desires, these things will not stop! You don't even know what you're facing! "
That sound became weaker and weaker and gradually became silent. In an instant, the flame turned into fire dragons and flew back onto the fire pillars, while Lan Ruo had disappeared.
I couldn't help but think back to what Lan Ruo had said. There was a problem with her way of doing things, but was what she said completely wrong? I somewhat believed her words that the souls she collected were all voluntarily abandoned.
"Hao Ning, hurry up!" Seeing that Lan Ruo disappeared, Liu Shuai immediately turned around and shouted to me, "Quickly, send my mana back to the statue!"
I turned to Liu Shuai, and noticed that two streams of blood had flowed out of his nose. Then I immediately ran over to grab onto his hand and the statue.
"Stellar Transposition!"
A warm current passed by once again. Not long later, Liu Shuai looked better. He sat on the ground and panted heavily.
Long Fei had already been dumbstruck, but now that he had recovered his senses. He ran over and made a gesture, then a gust of water vapor returned all the sundries in the hall to their original positions. A strand of cool and refreshing water vapor flew towards Liu Shuai's face, washing away all the bloodstains.
"Bro, you're awesome!" Seeing that Liu Shuai had regained his composure, I patted his shoulder, "I didn't know you are this powerful."
Long Fei nodded his head repetitively. "What a master! I finally got to see it this time!"
"How could I be awesome?" Liu Shuai waved his hand, recovering his breath, and said to me. "It's because you borrowed the mana from the statue. I did not have such abilities in the past."
He then looked at Long Fei, "You're right. You could only absorb one percent of the Formless Donations in this statue. I just used a little of it to be such powerful."
Long Fei looked at the statue and smiled bitterly at us, "What a pity that I can't use it! Living beings can only borrow and use it in a short period, not for a long-term."
