Zhou Ming was stunned. Although the man in gray also had a look of surprise on his face, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed more confused.
Two rays of light, one black and one red, streaked across the sky above Tianji City. They were Shen Luo and the black shadow. In the blink of an eye, they had flown twenty or thirty miles. The black shadow was incredibly fast. Shen Luo had used all his strength to control his sword, but he still couldn't catch up.
Moreover, the black shadow was surrounded by flashing light and emitted an extremely cold aura, which blocked Shen Luo's consciousness. He still hadn't figured out who the black shadow was.
The two soon came to a somewhat desolate mountain area. Not far ahead was the Tianji City Restriction Area, and the black shadow showed no sign of stopping.
Seeing that he had left the prosperous area of Tianji City, Shen Luo's arms suddenly emitted wind and thunder spiritual light, and two huge golden and green light beams shot out backwards. His speed suddenly increased by several times, and he caught up with the black shadow in the blink of an eye.
He shouted angrily and grabbed the air with his right hand.
Five thick golden arcs shot out, transformed into five golden lightning snakes that entangled the black shadow, and then suddenly exploded.
Golden lightning bolts struck the black shadow fiercely, unleashing a powerful destructive force of thunder, instantly tearing apart the layer of black light outside the black shadow.
Golden arcs of electricity hissed and continued to rush towards the black light.
But before Shen Luo could be happy, there was a loud "hissing" sound from the black shadow, and several black lights shot out, easily shattering the golden arcs of electricity, and hit Shen Luo's chest like a crossbow arrow, which turned out to be a few black feathers.
Shen Luo frowned, dodged to the side, and at the same time, he flicked his fingers, and dozens of red sword auras and black feathers collided with each other.
Bang bang bang!
The red sword energy and the black feathers shattered as soon as they came into contact. They were not able to resist the black feathers at all. A few black feathers flashed by and appeared in front of Shen Luo in a blink of an eye.
Shen Luo's face darkened, and a golden light flashed in his hand. The Xuanhuang Yiqi Stick appeared in his hand and swept out.
A golden stick shadow and several black feathers collided with each other, making a loud "clang" sound. The black feathers were shaken and flew everywhere, and then broke into pieces with a "snap".
But Shen Luo's body swayed slightly before he stood firm, with a look of surprise on his face.
Those black feathers were only the length of fingers and insignificant, yet they contained such amazing power.
Taking advantage of the moment when Shen Luo was pushed back, the black shadow leaped towards a low mountain below, and in the blink of an eye, it left Shen Luo behind for a distance.
However, Shen Luo immediately steadied himself and chased after him again like lightning.
The black shadow flew quickly into the low hills and unexpectedly stopped at the top of a mountain.
Shen Luo's eyes moved when he saw this, but he did not approach immediately. Instead, he stopped his escape light in the air more than ten feet away.
"Who are you? Why do you want to steal my Nine-Turn Iron Chain? This is Tianji City. Any robbery and killing is strictly prohibited. As long as I shout, you don't need to do it yourself. The people of Tianji City will surely not sit idly by." He said in a deep voice.
"Oh, then you might as well try shouting twice." The black shadow made a hoarse voice, and the black light on its surface slowly dissipated, revealing its true form.
Shen Luo stood there in shock. The black shadow in front of him was not a human, but a black wooden bird about ten feet tall. Its mouth opened and closed, speaking human words.
