Chapter 43 Ruyi Shapeshifting (2/2)
...
Hundreds of kilometers away, Shen Lian did not know that a monk had taken interest in him. His spirit was drifting high up in the sky without a care in the world.
He swooped down like a flying Celestial.
His spirit was indistinct, with a definite shape and face.
The sword tucked within his sleeve slashed out naturally, a stream of white gust followed from within his sleeve. It was swirling around like a spiritual snake, and the exact trail could not be seen from mid-air.
Only with an endless loop of inner Qi, one could master martial art skills such as ”Catching the Dragon, and Controlling the Crane”. One could even control the sword without being in physical contact with it.
The white light rushed towards Shen Lian's spirit.
To take things one step further, one could even use oneself as a scabbard and nurture Taibai Gengjin Qi within the body, right at the lungs. That was how the master celestials of the sword kill at a distance.
Techniques like these were usually kept secret, and would not be taught to the common folks. If a normal person were to insist on trying, he would be hurt by the indestructible Qi and ended up with various injuries.
”Sir, watch out!” Jian Shisi could not hold back his exclamation.
The spirit turned into fine strands of green smoke, and the white light missed it by the mark and did not manage to make contact.
The green smoke vibrated along the wind and shot ahead like an arrow, hitting right in the middle of Ye Liuyun's brows.
Ye Liu Yun felt the world was spinning around him and was gradually losing consciousness.
Out of a sudden, Ye Liuyun was emanating a reddish glow from within. There were runes flowing in the middle, and the green smoke that was Shen Lian's spirit was ejected. Shen Lian's spirit was sent back into his body.
Shen Lian opened his eyes and found himself unharmed. However, Ye Liuyun had fainted.
It was not his intention to hurt someone with his spirit, but Ye Liuyun was too strong and he had no other choice.
By doing that, both of them would be injured. However, Ye Liuyun would be having it worse. He might turn into an idiot.
Also, he never tried hurting someone like Ye Liuyun, who was strong-willed and had unblocked both of the Conception and Governor Vessels. He was not sure how bad would the side-effect be.
After all, the Wutong gods had strong-willed spirit, but they were unfocused and unkempt.
The will of Ye Liuyun's spirit was stronger than most people, and his thoughts were firmly rooted and were almost indestructible.
As compared to the Wutong gods, he was a lot harder to deal with.
The red light was an astonishing technique that prevented their spirits from clashing directly. It was hard to say who benefited more from it.
”You little kiddo, you have not even attained the inextinguishable divine aura yet, how dare you astral project in such a cavalier manner. What more, you were attacking his mind and even tried to attack his spirit directly. Do you have a death wish?” The red glow removed itself from Ye Liuyun's body and Shen Lian could hear its voice directly in his ears.
