A smile appeared on Shen Luo's lips. He rushed directly behind the black shadow, stretched out his palm, and grabbed the black shadow's back.
However, just as his palm was about to touch it, the black shadow suddenly shrank, changing from the size of a watermelon to the size of a fist.
The moment it dodged Shen Luo's palm, the black shadow suddenly expanded again, and its body suddenly bounced up and rushed straight forward. When it was about to fly three feet away, a circle of light suddenly lit up around its body, and then in a flash, it disappeared from Shen Luo's sight.
Shen Luo discovered that the moment his figure disappeared, the fluctuations of his aura also became undetectable, and he was a little surprised.
But before he could figure out what was going on, a loud shout suddenly came from above his head, followed by a huge force that came down from above and directly blasted the ground apart.
Shen Luo retreated violently, barely avoiding the heavy blow, but was hit by a surge of power. His heart sank suddenly, and his body was sent flying off the ground by the recoil of this huge force.
The moment he broke out of the ground, a flash of cold light appeared in front of him, and a nine-ring broadsword came whistling and slashed directly at his eyes.
Shen Luo was startled, but reacted quickly. The moonlight fell under his feet and his figure suddenly flashed. His figure left a trail of blurry afterimages in the moonlight, and he barely avoided it.
After dodging the attack, Shen Luo did not dare to hesitate at all. He retreated quickly while looking around carefully.
Only then did he realize that about ten feet in front of him, there was a tall figure nearly a foot tall standing.
He was wearing black gold armor, a dark brown robe, a black and green silk belt around his waist, crimson leather boots, and holding a nine-ring broadsword in his hand. However, he did not look like a human, but a bear monster.
"Great! Where did this little thief come from who is so bold as to trespass into the purple bamboo forest?" He said angrily with his eyes wide open, staring at Shen Luo, his face full of ferocity.
“Senior, please don’t be angry. I am not a thief who invades without reason. I was just chasing a monster and accidentally came here. That monster has already broken in…” Shen Luo steadied himself and waved his hand quickly.
"Bullshit, I will be stationed here and there is a barrier to block it. If there really are demons, how can they escape my eyes?" Upon hearing this, the black bear demon became furious and prepared to attack again.
"That monster is good at hiding its tracks. It just escaped underground and went straight through the barrier here. It has really gone in." Shen Luo showed an anxious look on his face. He looked behind the black bear monster and explained quickly.
I saw a dense purple bamboo forest behind me, with mist rising up, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
"Hey, you are still a thief, how dare you spy? How dare you!" The black bear demon suddenly shouted, and swung the long knife in his hand again, chopping towards Shen Luo.
Shen Luo knew that he was no match for his opponent and was unwilling to fight back, so he continued to retreat violently.
At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the purple bamboo forest: "Senior Dharma Protector, please stop now..."
Upon hearing this, the black bear demon froze in his tracks and actually stopped.
"That Taoist friend did not lie. There was indeed a monster invading the Purple Bamboo Forest just now. I wanted to capture it, but it used a magic to escape and escaped." Then, a figure slowly walked out of the forest.
