Chapter 775: Understanding And Defense (2/2)
It was unknown when Yu Lian had shown up on the street again.
Her face was pale. Though there were not any evident wounds, she must have suffered from extremely severe internal injuries.
With blood all over his body, Eldest Brother was extremely exhausted and shaking as if he was going to fall down.
The game was all set.
Zhishou Abbey was the holy land of Haotian Taoism.
The name of this Taoist temple went the whole way back to a paragraph of true words originated from West-Hill Scripture.
Understanding its masculinity and defending its feminity, it was called Natural Stream.
Chen Pipi's Natural Stream Magical Finger derived its name from that also.
It could be consequently imagined that what a supreme position this set of fingering held in Haotian Taoism.
There were also a few other words in that paragraph of true words in the West-Hill Scripture.
Understanding its cons and defending its pros, and that is called Natural Maneuver.
Understanding its prosperity and defending its disgrace, and that was called Open-Mindedness.
This was Haotian's world.
Being capable of understanding everything in the world can lead to being capable of defending everything in the world.
Either it is for power or for true intention.
That was exactly the true meaning of understanding and defending.
The fingering signal of the Abbey Dean referred not only to the Natural Stream Magical Finger but also to Natural Maneuver and Open-Mindedness.
Having crossed the threshold many years ago, he was the one who had truly and comprehensively mastered all the arts and who was proficient in all of Taoism, Buddhism, and Spiritualism. Being much more powerful than Lotus when it came to the aspect of strength, he was indeed worthy to be called as the most supreme powerhouse of Haotian Taoism over thousands of years.
Unfortunately, he lived in the same age as the Headmaster and Ke Haoran who were both talents that appeared once in a blue moon. That was the reason why he had been forced to keep a low profile and silent for many years.
Now that the Headmaster no longer existed in the world and Ke Haoran had already perished since a long time ago, he was then the highest and the steepest mountain in the world, the most powerful person. He was invincible in the world.
So his finger was the Finger of the World.
The storm and snow rose again. While this time, the storm and snow came from the natural world and could not get people killed.
Keeping her eyes on the Abbey Dean standing on the other side of storm and snow, Yu Lian thought of that scene which she had previously seen, with slightly complicated emotions revealed on her face.
Taking advantage of the sound of houses-breaking, the chessboard of street alleys and the power of the grand city, Eldest Brother had successfully trapped the Abbey Dean temporarily. Then she produced the furious chirping of the cicada rolling. It looked as if their opponent would be killed, but to their surprise, the whole situation changed all of a sudden.
The Abbey Dean's eyes fell on the wound of the broken finger which looked like jade instantly.
She knew exactly what was going on.
This was the means of the Devil's Doctrine. It was not an Immortal State yet, but a pretty close one.
If it had not been the case, the last piece of snow of hers could definitely cut the body of the Abbey Dean into halves. Instead, it only shaved off three of his fingers.
She looked at this ordinary Taoist and thought of that ordinary name. The expression on her face became gradually solemn— being a leader of Haotian Taoism, the Abby Dean actually practiced the methods of Devil's Doctrine to a much more powerful state than she who was a Grandmaster of Devil's Doctrine. What kind of person was he actually?
”This is Haotian's world and I follow Haotian's rules. Consequently, Haotian's rule will be all at my service. Unless you two possess the ability to challenge Haotian now, it will never be possible for you to defeat me.”
Looking at the two people across the storm and snow, the Abbey Dean spoke calmly, ”It has been beyond my imagination that you two actually can cause me so much trouble. I even feel a little bit of admiration towards you.”
”Li Manman. If you had not been so foolish as to have consumed too much of your energy over these seven days. If you hadn't been so foolish as to have been unwilling to learn how to fight over the previous tens of years, perhaps you could try to drag me back all the time.”
”Lin Wu. If you had not fought with Xiong Chumo a few days ago. Perhaps you could really grab some opportunities to kill me today on this snow street. Though the possibility is not that great.”
The Abbey Dean stared at Yu Lian and said, ”You should have been the most powerful Grandmaster of the Devil's Doctrine since that traitor from a thousand years ago. You actually succeed at opening up your own world via practicing the Twenty-Three-year Cicada Cultivation and diffusing into the Divine Demon Realm. However, it is a pity that you are opposing me. The same situation also goes for me, who should have been the most supreme powerhouse in Haotian Taoism over thousands of years and who ran into your teacher instead.”
Eldest Brother said, ”It was only when you entered Chang'an that I started to realize that you also have always been waiting for the time to elapse away. That's because there is no way to get the G.o.d-stunning Array fixed and now is the time when the G.o.d-stunning Array's power is at the weakest. It is indeed true that I should not have wasted these seven days away. However, over these seven days, I actually have gained something.”
The Abbey Dean asked, ”What is it?”
Eldest Brother said, ”I'm able to catch up with you now.”
The Abbey Dean said, ”It was me who has been chasing you over these previous days. Now you want to catch up with me, what is the point?”
Eldest Brother said, ”As long as I can catch up with you, then there exists an opportunity that we can leave together.”
The Abbey Dean replied, ”I know what you are implying. It is a pity that now that you have been so severely wounded and it is extremely difficult for you to catch up with me. Most importantly, you don't have the power.”
Staring at this pair of Senior Brother and Sister from the Academy, he said, ”Upon retrospection, the admiration I have been holding towards your Headmaster is becoming more and more profound. He actually is able to cultivate out such talents like you. If you two were the same person, I would indeed not be able to contend with you. Fortunately, in no way are you two able to be transformed into one person after all.”
Yu Lian replied, ”I want to have a try whether I can exchange your one life with two lives.”
The Abbey Dean said, ”Though you have turned into a woman via practicing the Twenty-Three-year Cicada Cultivation and you moreover have been studying for years under the guidance of the Headmaster, you are a Grandmaster of the Devil's Doctrine after all. It is ridiculous of you to speak with such excitement.”
Yu Lian answered, ”It has nothing to do with speaking with excitement. It is only related to happiness. The Headmaster has always taught me that the purpose of our own living is to seek out happiness and calmness. I would definitely be very happy if I can get you killed.”
The Abbey Dean said with calmness, ”It makes sense. So I won't grant you the opportunity.”
Even if he was the most invincible man in the whole world, he was still not willing to fight to the death with these two powerhouses from the Academy, under the situation when the game was all set. Because there still existed numerous possibilities before life and death.
The purpose of his entering Chang'an City is to destroy the array, not to kill people.
As long as he could destroy the G.o.d-stunning Array, this grand show would come to an end.
Amid the storm and snow, the chirping of cicadas suddenly surged and then gradually died down.
The figure of Abbey Dean vanished into the storm and snow.
With the G.o.d-stunning Array impaired and the two people from Academy severely wounded, there were no more people who could stop him.
