Chapter 761 – How Does One Conquer Demons? (2/2)
And then a flower pot truly did appear in her hands.
But there were no flowers in this pot, only a green leaf, and there were only two leaves left, making it seem rather desolate.
The broken monolith clashed in the air with the Green Leaf.
……
……
There was no sound. Compared to the howls of air as the surrounding mist was crushed, the silence over the bridge was rather strange.
This was because those two powers were too monstrously strong, shattering everything around, the frequency of their vibrations surpassing the senses of ordinary beings.
The last bits of water in the mud were squeezed out by these two powers and then vaporized.
They were soon quickly frozen by the cold emitted from the girl's face.
The mist gradually thinned. Whether it was the moisture or demonic intent, all was condensed into water, and then before there was time to become rain, it was frozen into beads of ice.
Countless crystalline beads of ice reflected the starlight falling from the night sky, gleaming like so many Night Pearls and illuminating the scene with incomparable beauty.
So beautiful that it did not seem a part of the human world.
Just like that place under New North Bridge, shrouded in endless night.
As she stood before this rain of icy beads, the black-clothed girl's figure was still small.
But now, there was no weakness about her, only absolute power.
A laugh, its meaning difficult to understand, burst from Hai Di's lips.
The mist suddenly thickened once more, a horrifying wave of Demon Qi raging toward her like a deluge.
Deep cracks appeared all over the now-abnormally-dry lake bed. Her black dress madly danced as countless holes appeared in it. Her black hair also danced, several broken ends dropping down. The chains tied to her ankles also writhed about like snakes in a fire suffering immeasurable pain.
It was evident that in her current state, where she had still not completely broken through the seal, she was still no match for this powerful demon, even with a treasure of the Li Palace supporting her.
But there was no fear on her icy face, no intent to escape.
She raised her head, like a most powerful little girl.
And also a haughty dragon.
……
……
All this happened in a very brief span of time.
Chen Changsheng did not sheathe his sword, but he was also too late to help her.
As boulders tumbled and thunderous booms split the air, several figures like large towers arrived outside the snowy valley.
They were all demon experts that had accompanied Hai Di.
Chen Changsheng suddenly vanished.
Several dozen faint footprints suddenly appeared on the dry and cracked lakebed.
If one were to turn up to the profuse stars in the night sky at this moment, perhaps they would be able to tell that some hidden connection existed between the position of these footprints and the stars in the sky.
This was the Yeshi Step that he had comprehended several years ago from the Daoist Canon. Over these past few years of research, especially after digesting the words on the Heavenly Tome Monoliths, it was no longer as it was in the past.
In a few seconds, he had left the broken bridge, heading towards the perimeter of the valley. He carried countless gusts of wind and sheets of rain with him, completely enveloping those demon experts.
The wind and rain were all swords.
There were swords everywhere.
”Gu lun mu!”
Hai Di suddenly called, his voice carrying an unconcealable surprise.
