Chapter 318: Chapter 314: Letting You Off the Hook

In the dust and smoke, Shen Luo not only didn’t retreat but instead advanced, darting forward and landing right in front of General Rhinoceros. Aiming at the monster’s protruding abdomen, he threw an elbow.

“Boom,” was the deep sound that echoed.

“Uh…”

With a muted groan, General Rhinoceros tumbled on the ground like an overturned stone before he finally came to a halt.

When the dust and smoke cleared, everyone saw Shen Luo squatting beside the fallen monster, his fingers pressing a Thunderfall Talisman on its forehead.

“How about that, do you give up?” Shen Luo laughed and asked.

Rolling his eyes, General Rhinoceros managed to see the talisman hanging on his forehead. He raised his neck and said, “I knew these days would come when I decided to take up such a lifestyle. Do what you must. In eighteen years, I’ll be back as a strong man.”

“Have you been reading some strange books?” Shen Luo, finding these words eerily familiar, couldn’t help but rub his forehead and sighed in frustration.

In many folk tales, the heroes of the forest always utter such words before their death.

“Why are you, a human, so resilient and even stronger than me? I genuinely admit my defeat. If you have to do something, do it quickly and let me fall.” As he heard Shen Luo’s question, the General Rhinoceros seemed deflated.

Shen Luo didn’t tease him any further and instead, withdrew the Thunderfall Talisman.

“Fine, I didn’t say I would kill you, you can leave now.”

Upon hearing Shen Luo’s words, the Shen Family bystanders, Shen Huayuan included, were greatly taken aback.

“Master Shen, that being is a demon, we cannot let it… ” shouted one of the teenagers from the Shen Family.

“Brother Shen, to release a tiger back into the mountain will lead to unlimited troubles,” another member of the Shen Family called out.

“Kill it, kill it…” More and more people voiced their opinions.

Shen Huayuan didn’t express his opinion, neither encouraging Shen Luo nor stopping his family members.

In fact, not only were members of the Shen Family surprised, but even General Rhinoceros himself was stupefied, looking at Shen Luo with disbelief.

Shen Luo ignored the shouts of his family and only looked at the monster saying, “Why aren’t you leaving? Do you want me to kill you?”

“You won’t kill me? Why won’t you kill me?” General Rhinoceros asked, facing the biggest question of his life.

“Which monster like you doesn’t leave a land filled with white bones and rampant with killing intent?” Shen Luo looked around and asked.

“Maybe it’s because I ate everything cleanly?” Doubt still lingered in the monster’s eyes.

“You fought me without any intention to kill. It’s clear that you’re not one to enjoy bloodshed. I let you go, and you still won’t leave. Or do you actually want to die?” Shen Luo said in exasperation.

Only after these words did General Rhinoceros finally believe that Shen Luo truly had no intention of killing him.

“You humans are strange… In the past, people I encountered either begged for mercy because they were weak or ruthlessly killed monsters because they were strong. But you’re different. Today I admit my defeat, and if I meet you again in the future, I will be robbing you.” The General Rhinoceros watched Shen Luo for a while and then said.

“Alright, we’ll see if you have the ability then.” Shen Luo chuckled.

Without another word, General Rhinoceros picked up his Ghost Head Hammer, and walked away without looking back.

All the Shen Family members saw Shen Luo releasing the monster and were very confused. They all murmured to each other and discussed among themselves.

Shen Luo had no intention to explain. He just nodded to Shen Huayuan, returned to his carriage, and the group set off again, heading towards Jianye.

Time flew by and in a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

At night, in an abandoned mountain village, bonfires were lit. The Shen Family decided to spend the night there.

During this half a month, they had had a rare peaceful journey. They hadn’t encountered any powerful demons or ghosts, and even managed to kill two low-level monsters during the day, which they now roasted at their campsite.

Everyone, including Shen Huayuan and Shen Quan, was gathered around the largest bonfire in the village. However, Shen Luo and Shen Yu were nowhere to be found.

“Family Head, where are Elder Shen and Sister Yu?” asked a junior from the Shen Family, who had just gotten a piece of the glistening monster’s flesh.

“They’re cultivating. Don’t disturb them.” Shen Huayuan responded with a smile.

In fact, not just Shen Yu, but all the cultivators of the Shen Family had received pointers from Shen Luo during this time, yielding results in their cultivation. Only because Shen Yu was on the brink of a breakthrough to the mid Grain Avoidance Stage that she was relentlessly cultivating.

As for Shen Luo, he had unlocked the prohibition on his Dantian, which had restored his cultivation level to the early stage of Soul Condensation. He was currently pondering over the Huangting Technique that mentioned Three-Star Demonic Extermination Technique.

Previously, in Longevity Village, he was disturbed by various chores and although he had already had some insights into the technique, he hadn’t completely grasped it nor successfully cultivated it.

Now, his cultivation was still a distance from fully recovering. If he could cultivate this Three-Star Demonic Extermination Technique, even if only the basic one-star power, it would be of great help.

That night, Shen Luo sat alone in an open space at the edge of the village. His hands were raised towards the sky, and he stared up at the night sky.

Different from his usual meditative cultivation, his eyes were wide open, staring at the deep night sky. His bright eyes seemed to reflect the entire star-filled sky.

Shen Luo silently recited the Huangting Technique. The star-filled sky gradually shifted in his line of sight.

Not knowing whether he was becoming lighter and rising into the sky or the stars were becoming heavier and descending onto the ground, he felt himself blending with the sea of stars.

He looked around and saw countless stars, all blinking like breaths, their light alternately brightening and fading.

Shen Luo looked at the countless stars and a sudden feeling of insignificance welled up. He subconsciously matched his breathing with the flickering lights of the stars.

One breath upon each light’s brightening or fading…

In a flash, he came back to himself and found he was still sitting on the ground, but the starry sky overhead had changed.

He saw countless particles, transformed from the power of the stars, falling like dust under the sun. They entered his eyes.

Subconsciously, he wanted to close his eyes but forced himself not to.

His eyes, like two lakes, held the rain that fell from the sky. They were now filled with the radiant colors of the starlight.
