In the void in front of the old man, there was a magic sword made of scarlet peach wood suspended in the air. It was engraved with a string of runes that Shen Luo could not understand, but he knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary object.
It's just a little strange that, whether it's the magic sword hanging in the air or the three people confronting each other, they are all standing still at the same place without moving, as if they were cast under a spell of immobilization at the same time.
Shen Luo did not dare to act rashly, but carefully moved closer from the side. Only then did he see clearly the faces of the two people hanging in the air. They were actually two skeleton ghosts with green light coming out of their eye sockets.
At the same time, he heard a series of "clang" sounds similar to the sound of taut strings.
Shen Luo concentrated and looked carefully, and finally saw clearly that the thin old Taoist was actually entangled with black silk threads that were almost invisible to the naked eye. However, they were blocked by a thin layer of green light on the outside of his Taoist robe, so they were difficult to detect.
The two skeleton ghosts actually opened their mouths wide, and black threads spewed out of them, tightly binding the suspended red magic sword. In the thick black fog violently surging around them, one could see dense red runes constantly rolling and hitting the ghosts' bodies. The two were like two armies, one attacking and one defending, and the fight was hard to separate.
"It turns out that the three are not immobile, but have formed a delicate balance, and no one can do anything to the other." Shen Luo understood, and without hesitation, he pinched the magic formula with both hands, waved his sleeves suddenly and said: "Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strong sound of wind from his sleeves, and a white light as fast as an arrow shot out with a "whoosh".
There was only a muffled "bang" sound.
The one on the left of the two ghosts was shot in the back of the head by a talisman fork wrapped in white light, and the entire skull flew out and hit the stone wall and shattered.
Bone fragments flew on the stone wall, revealing a talisman fork under which was nailed a distorted and blurry green ghost figure. Under the reflection of the white light emitted by the talisman fork, it let out a sharp wailing sound and soon turned into thick water.
The remainder of his body then dissipated like smoke, leaving only a tattered black robe that fell to the ground.
In the corner, the balance between one man and two ghosts was broken by Shen Luo, and the pressure on the thin old Taoist was suddenly reduced.
A gleam of brilliance suddenly lit up in his eyes. He pulled the black silk thread wrapped around his body with one hand and directly pulled the remaining ghost in front of him. With his other hand, he made a flower-picking gesture and pointed at its forehead.
The old Taoist pointed his finger and the ghost let out a sharp roar. Its entire body was immediately surrounded by large red runes. A black ghost mist surged violently and then dissipated.
The old Taoist loosened his hand that was holding the silk thread, and with a move in the air, the scarlet magic sword immediately flew into his hand and slashed at the ghost. The whole action was smooth and seamless, and was done in one go.
There was a slight "hiss" sound!
A red crack appeared from head to toe on the ghost, and it was actually split directly in half. A raging red flame then burned on its body, and it quickly turned into ashes.
Seeing that the old Taoist had escaped from trouble, Shen Luo hurried to meet him.
However, the old Taoist stared at him and pointed his magic sword at him.
Shen Luo froze and was about to speak when he saw the old Taoist slightly bend the five fingers of his other hand and grab at the air again.
