Chapter 87 Left Without a Trace When Things Are Done (1/2)

Shen Lian stood calmly at some distance away. He stared at Hali Zi without fear. He had never heard of the Nine-Headed King. Even if he knew that he was an extremely powerful demon king, things would not be any different.

He did not bother with the small talks and drew an arc with his wooden sword immediately. As though the sunlight had been gathered at the tip of his wooden sword, the scorching heat could be felt.

The wooden sword was encapsulated by a green halo which insulated it from the heat.

A fireball appeared from nothingness. Following the movement of the tip of the sword, the fireball came crashing at Hali Zi.

Hali Zi did not expect Shen Lian to act so quickly. Luckily, with his experience in cultivation, he was able to react quickly. He spouted purple juice and the juice collided with the fireball. The fireball became purple. Along with the air current, it rolled toward Shen Lian.

Shapeless Qi started to gather around Shen Lian, as if he was covered in misty clouds. The purple poisonous fire exploded in the misty clouds and brought forth smoke and dust.

However, no cries were heard following the explosion. At a big tree nearby, Shen Lian lowered the little girl slowly. ”Don't be afraid,” he said.

He tapped the tip of his toe and charged at Hali Zi with his wooden sword. There were buzzing noise sparking in the air and that was Hali Zi's tongue moving at the speed of lightning. Only a pale red shadow could be seen.

Even the normal toads could capture bugs that flew past them in the blink of an eye, what more a toad demon? After cultivating for one hundred years, not only could he speak, he could turn most cultivators into his food.

Despite the speed being too fast for human's eyes to follow, Shen Lian could still see the orbit of the movements clearly.

The breakthrough this time not only allowed him to reorganize the divine Qi in him and obtained mana, but it also transformed his mortal body. Especially after he connected the entry points in his body, he was able to exercise a stronger control over his body.

When he was mid-air charging with a fatal pierce, he could turn his waist as though he was performing a sword dance effortlessly.

With an impossible twist of his body, he dodged from Hali Zi's tongue. By the time the tongue rolled back, Shen Lian moved at a faster speed and pierced Hali Zi with his wooden sword.

He used runes as the basis of his swordplay and echoed the Qi of heaven and earth, forming a talisman. Even though it was not impactful, it was impressive.

Electrical sparks flashed in the air and Hali Zi's vision was affected. As a demon, Hali Zi was instinctively afraid of thunder. The moment of hesitation led to him being blinded by the lightning. He could not open his eyes.

Shortly after, his eyes felt cold and all he could see was an endless darkness.

Hali Zi knew that Shen Lian's pierce was the reason behind his blindness.

He extended his sense and perception and felt the circling of the wind, grass, wood, flowers, and trees. However, there was no trace of Shen Lian.

As a measure of self-defense, he extended his tongue and swung it around rapidly.

Hali Zi went berserk and rammed himself into the main courtyard. He thought that if he could not do anything about Shen Lian, he might as well kill some humans to blow off some steam.

The moment he tried to make a move, he perceived a sharp sword aura.

Without trying to avoid it, he turned and faced the direction of the sword aura. At the same time, he expanded and contracted his lower abdomen at an impossible speed. There was a loud sound and the surrounding area collapsed from the motion.

A sphere of light came out of his mouth, extinguishing the sword aura immediately.

The little girl saw the strange scene from the tree. A small sphere of light was flying toward Shen Lian at high speed and slowed down after a loud piercing sound.

Consequently, the overwhelming fear caused by it was weakened.

Shen Lian kept going backward and the sword aura he emitted fell onto the sphere of light. After backing away for some distance, the sphere of light finally fell onto the ground.
