Chapter 282: Resourceful But Indecisive

The nun held floating dust in her hands that were intertwined with a mysterious Dao pattern. The black wind screamed and devoured the moonlight around her. Everything was in darkness.

She already used everything she has got to cast the Great Dark Wind Technique. Under the oppression of death, she pushed her combat abilities to its peak. Her entire Qi of vigor boiled. There were fine blood droplets of slight fragrance that rolled down from her brows.

This was because the entire body’s potential had been stimulated and her Qi and blood were dissipating. She was determined to put up one last fight.

At the same time, the brawny man’s body bulked up tremendously. His entire body burned with red flames like a demon god. The scorching heat caused the air around him to be twisted. His hair, like the flames, were very crimson as it fluttered willfully.

The blazing flames instantly clouded in front of him, fighting against Shen Lian’s power and influence with full force.

Shen Lian strolled leisurely in midair, his facial expression calm and composed. He viewed life and death as child’s play, not paying any mind at all to Guangfa’s spell wave that was about to drown him.

The black and yellow color of Xuande Sword’s had a faint presence of the luster of blood. It was as though his entire body was emitting this dominating and supreme sword will that could make the heavenly celestials and Buddha to fall into his hands. This was the Trapping of Celestial Sword Will.

It was beyond the mortal world and heavens, even the Milky Way in the sky lost its shine under this wisp of sword will.

This sword will could make celestials and Buddhas to fall into the secular mortal world, enter into reincarnation once again to become sentient beings.

Even though the conception he had gotten was not the true conception of the trapping of celestials, but the two in front of him were neither celestials nor Buddha.

The Trapping of Celestial Sword Will that lingered in his mind and spirit had dimmed down under the smothering of his mind and spirit. Shen Lian took this opportunity to stimulate it. Even though Shen Lian would be troubled by the Trapping of Celestial Sword Will, his mind and spirit dazed, but because he was already used to the confrontation with this leftover of the Trapping of Celestial Sword Will, he was adapted.

Nonetheless, for the Chiyan Order Master and the Dark Wind Cave Master, this was their first assault from a supreme sword will. Their thoughts were obtuse and even their spells were flawed.

In that critical moment, Shen Lian did something beyond anyone’s imagination. The sword gleam of the Xuande Sword converged and it pierced into the nun’s Great Dark Wind Technique. In that dark sky, a volatile and extremely violent blood luster exploded. A beautiful woman’s head flew into the sky, bringing a spray of bloody rain that painted a beautiful picture in midair.

The facial expression of the nun was filled with fear and disbelief. There was no turning back once something had happened.

A streak of sword aura followed and annihilate the blue vapor of her spirit that came from her skull. Even if she did have another life, she would not be able to cultivate anymore because her spirits had been injured.

The Chiyan Order Master’s state of mind crumbled. The two figures that were on the same level as him were killed on the spot effortlessly by Shen Lian. This was someone who could control the void. The number of cultivators of this world was numerous like the school of silver carps moving down a stream but to be able to achieve such adept, was truly one in a million.

These extraordinary figures who had lived for hundreds of years actually died right in front him and it seemed like he was next.

That hopelessness multiplied in his mind and in the end, he could not help but transformed into a glow of a fire and made his escape. He dared not turn back to look and he was even more afraid that Shen Lian would hunt him down in the form of a shadow.

Shen Lian turned back in midair, the tip of his sword vibrating as his carved out one circle after another. It led all the runes that were cast by Guangfa into the lake water below. At that moment, a giant explosion rang out in a chain reaction and it annihilated the entire water village in an instant.

The violent riot of the Qi strength did not affect Guangfa and Shen Lian at all.

The both of them stared at each other in midair, as though there was a long succession of sparks that burst and flashed in the air. Their spirits were in constant probing and confrontation and it finally began influencing reality.

Guangfa sighed, “If he had not escaped, you would have been defeated by me.”

Shen Lian, “There are no ‘ifs’ in this world. Even if time could be reversed, there is nothing you and I can change.”

It was not as easy as it looked when he defeated those two Buxu cultivators in an instant. Shen Lian was no immortal Zhenren of the school of Celestials and Buddha.

The biggest difference between the Huandan, Buxu and Powang states were not in the mana.

Even though Buxu was after the Huandan state, but what made the Buxu cultivator formidable was that they began to have a true and independent sentiment of the laws of heaven. They were qualified to push down the old ways and establish new martial exercises for cultivation, to search for the cultivation methods that best suit themselves. Simultaneously, they understood some of the axiomatic truth of the universe and use it for their own. They did not need external force anymore and could break free of the shackles of the earth and roam the skies.

The Powang state after Buxu was when one begins to blend with heavens. The cultivator would begin searching for one’s own nature and fused oneself into his own Dao. In the end, one would break through the fabrications, and be trained into the Primordial Spirit, adept the Primordial Spirit Celestialism and truly embark on the School of Celestials and Buddhism.

Fundamentally speaking, Shen Lian, of course, did not have the capabilities to easily kill off two Buxu level cultivators. However, he had an inborn epiphany for combat and his powerful spirits allowed his heart to be still as water in this high-level fight. It allowed him to search for his advantage and his opponent’s disadvantage.

He stimulated the lingering Trapping of Celestial Sword Will during the fight. That terrifying aura was even enough to shake figures such as the Three Elders of Taisu to their core, what more than these three Buxu cultivators?

Firstly, Shen Lian injured the Five Venoms Order Master with his Sword of Heart. With one rampant hit, he killed off this person. He then brought this power and influence to stimulate the Trapping of Celestial Sword Will, causing both the nun and brawny man’s thought to be sluggish. Even though he too was affected by this sword will but the effects were far smaller than the other two. He took his opportunity and killed the nun.

It was natural for this supreme power and influence to cause the Chiyan Order Master’s mind and spirit to fall apart.

If the other had persisted on and put up a hard fight, Shen Lian would actually be stopped and it would be hard to kill him off. After that, Guangfa would be able to deal with Shen Lian. Shen Lian would be at a major disadvantage. The best outcome for him would be to immediately escape, even if it meant paying a small price.

Unfortunately, the Chiyan Order Master’s state of mind was not that impregnatable. One hit after another, he absolutely could not experience and observe that much, that was why he would immediately shift away.

As for Guangfa, he too lost the final chance to turn the tides and now, he was back on the same page as being on par with Shen Lian.

The situation of the contest between masters would have many changes in a small instance. Shen Lian did not depend solely on his luck to easily turn the tides to his favor but his immense guts and his very concentrated control of the situation.

Guangfa was getting more afraid of Shen Lian, even now the level of threat Shen Lian posted to him had far surpassed the scary Chen Jianmei.

Chen Jianmei had this ‘one sword one man’ manner, he had the talents but his state of mind was not as comprehensive as Shen Lian where it is undetectable, as the deep sea.

Not only did Shen Lian have the potential to reach the peach, he also has an exceeding knowledge and extraordinary sharp Dao nature that was gradually appearing. All of it proved that he would achieve adeptness, which really sends chills one’s spine now that he thought about it.

Guangfa said hoarsely, “Do we need to continue? You should know, even though I cannot make you stay, you too, cannot make me stay.” He had this kind of confidence.

Even though Guangfa was not number one amongst the Twelve Powang State Masters of Guangqing but he was definitely one of the top six. The skills and techniques he had learned, even though it was not as much as Shen Lian but it was close to it.

Shen Lian could even feel the power of Guangfa’s spirit. Even though it was not the same where he could connect to the netherworld, but Guangfa would still be considered as overbearing. At least, it was hard for Shen Lian to solely rely on his advantage he had with his spirits to completely subdue Guangqing.

Nonetheless, Shen Lian laughed. Like the spring breeze that melts the snow, it injected another kind of vitality into this chilling night.

He drawled, “Guangfa, even though you are exceedingly resourceful, but you should know you still have a major flaw. I cannot blame you for not attaining longevity.”

Guangfa’s eyes narrowed, “What?”

“You are resourceful but you are indecisive. During this very moment, you still remained here. You really thought you are the only one with helpers?” There was an unspeakable flavor to Shen Lian’s tone of voice. It was as though he was lamenting, at the same time insulting.

Guangfa was shocked to his core. He felt a very dangerous aura approaching at an unthinkable speed.
