Chapter 89 Chopping Off Without Hesitation (1/2)
”What if I insist on taking offense?” Shen Lian replied casually.
”Such a joker you are.” The woman clothed in colorful clothes covered her mouth as she smiled slightly.
Shen Lian sighed and extended his right hand with a tree leaf on it. He managed to pluck it somehow and it flew out of his hand.
It would seem that he had used the Jifeng Talisman on the leaf earlier.
Any fighter with strong enough inner strength could use anything from their surroundings as killing weapon, including grass, wood, bamboo, or rock. Moreover, Shen Lian had planted runes on the leaf.
The Jifeng Talisman was considered one of the basics in talisman Dao. However, it was impressive how Shen Lian could conjure it so casually and discreetly. The leaf barely made a sound after leaving his hand, and the shapeless Qi flowed within it, speeding it up. The leaf drew an arc in the air and ended up right next to the woman clothed in colorful clothes.
It cut toward her fair neck like a spinner.
It was as though her head was not supported by bones, it spun around for half a circle at high speed. The speed was not something that could be followed by human eyes. Quickly, it snapped back into its original position.
To normal people, she did not move at all. However, Shen Lian saw what she did, though not completely. This showed how quickly she was moving.
Her shiny black eyes turned into a shade of dull green. Light shone from her green eyes and it was a sight that would send chills up anyone's spine.
Shen Lian faced her glare head on. Meanwhile, the woman held the leaf between her red lips. It was an eerie sight to behold.
She swallowed the leaf and licked her lips with her reddish tongue, eerily seductive.
However, if one were to look at her green eyes, any lustful desires would be extinguished and turned into the terror that could fill one's heart
Words were not needed and Shen Lian held his tongue. He was still looking at the woman's neck, because that was her weakest point, her Achilles' heel.
As for why Shen Lian acted the way he did, that was because his opponent was not human. She gave off a hint of cold-bloodedness and cruelty.
Even her beautiful appearance could not mask the dangerous aura that she was giving off.
The leaf was merely a test and not Shen Lian's goal.
However, what happened just now confirmed Shen Lian's suspicion and there was no mistaking it.
”If you were to let me have some fun with you, I might even spare your life due to your good looks. But since you have made your choice, don't blame me for being cruel.” The colorfully clothed woman shifted, and a strong gust of wind followed. Out of sudden, a giant snake with the circumference of a bucket appeared.
Even though it was quite the sight to behold, it did not have the powerful presence that Jingqing had when he appeared in his original form.
It took a lot of mana for demons to shapeshift. However, that might not apply to the demonic snake in front of Shen Lian. The vital Qi it was giving off was not even as strong as the toad from earlier.
Faced with the giant snake, Shen Lian snickered and pointed his finger at it.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals, yet the demonic snake felt a tinge of coldness stemming from its soul and pain followed. It could not respond immediately.
To the outside world, the giant snake stood frozen and there was a momentary pause.
Shen Lian remained sharp. He had not used the Deity Vanquishing Sword for a while now and the effect was better than expected.
With his spirit condensed as a sword, he could slay one's heart and soul.
He used it naturally without putting much thought into it, merely acted on the spur of the moment.
Subsequently, he directed his wooden sword at the third inch of the snake, which was the neck that he was looking at before.
