Chapter 71 Been Practicing Daoism For Half A Lifetime And No One Knows (1/2)

Daoist Sanwen mentioned that there were four people in the entire lower house. Ergo, this young Daoist disciple was most probably one of them.

”The way of Dao is limitless so how is it possible for him to succeed? Brother Lu only wishes to cultivate until the level of reminiscing about his parents1. Perhaps ten years would be too short but it is also not impossible,” Shen Lian said leisurely as he took the heat off Lu.

”Junior Shen has a rather profound way of Dao, it would be rather biased to say that it is 'limitless'. If you were on flat land and you look at the Eastern Sea, it would, of course, look limitless. If you reach thousands of meters high up in the air, the Eastern Sea is nothing but a basin of mud. You cannot imagine what is it to be able to succeed in the way of Dao, surpass and escape a myriad of undesirables.” The young Daoist disciple chuckled.

”Senior brother does have a point, could it be that you've reached the state of 'mud basin',” Lu laughed as he said.

The pair of eye-catching thick brows on the young Daoist disciple arched slightly at the tip, like two sharp swords - pressing and dangerous.

He wrapped both his arms in front of his chest and spits out a strong gust of wind. Shen Lian felt the changes in vital Qi, like a shapeless tornado that came out of thin air headed toward Lu.

Shen Lian knew then this young Daoist disciple was the kind of person who 'do not need to say much, for the way of Dao is deep'.

Of course, he would not do anything to Lu's provocation.

He intended to help Lu out but he stopped. This was because he remembered that while Lu traveled far and wide to come here, he was not even scratched even during admission. How was it that he was only an ordinary scholar when he even got passed Wenxin Road?

Even though Lu revealed some true state of mind, he did not get to the main points.

Lu reacted immediately while Shen Lian was motionless.

He raised himself from the ground at the tip of his toes but he did not fly high. The flow of wind was a tornado, its head was sharp like an invisible drill.

A fine layer of cotton-like strong wind formed around Lu, which actually allowed him to stay balanced in midair, temporarily free from the pull of gravity.

He even dodged the incoming wind. Like a cicada fluttering its wings, he went to the side of the long corridor and the tip of his toes aimed at the young Daoist disciple's head as he kicked his leg.

The young Daoist disciple was unfazed, his arms still circled in front of his chest. He tilted his head and dodged Lu's attack.

Lu continued attacking with another leg but did not succeed either.

His momentum finished as he pounced on the young Daoist disciple with his entire body.

The pose was rather particular, with both knees tucked toward the abdomen, both of his elbows hit his chest but his hands were aiming for the other's throat to choke.

He used both his knees to kneel on the other's chest as he landed and followed the flow to pounce forward, both his elbows hit the other at the chest area. At the same time, his hands got a hold of the other's throat.

It was rare that this move could be done so smoothly with marvelous impulse, it was quick as lightning - hard to guard against.

Lu surprised everyone with this one move, but Shen Lian sighed quietly, 'There is still quite a difference in capability.'

The young Daoist suddenly disappeared as Lu covered him with his body. As a result, it seemed as though Lu was hugging the pillar that the young Daoist was leaning on.

The scene was awkward and he let go immediately, which caused him to almost topple. However, even though his physique seemed big, his balance was superb. He managed to support himself with one leg without completely falling to the ground.
