Chapter 95 Technique Beyond This World (2/2)

Gu Caiwei looked out of place, and she really stood out from the surroundings; it was as though she did not belong to this world.

Shen Lian thought of Chen Jianmei, Yan Bugui, and Sanwen Daoist. Besides Chen Jianmei who attained the state of Huandan, none of them were able to give Shen Lian such a special feeling.

It was not as though Gu Caiwei had a strong spiritual pressure, but it was just that his spiritual sense was telling him that Gu Caiwei would not win the battle.

Gu Caiwei’s voice was light, and it fell on Shen Lian’s ears. ”Junior Apprentice-Brother, I heard that you are quite good with the Dao of Talisman, you can unleash at me everything that you are capable of,” she said.

Shen Lian was not hesitant. He did not look down on Gu Caiwei simply because that she was a female.

However, he exercised great caution in the beginning. He drew an arc in the air, and the Qi followed his instruction as though it was his arm. He made contact with a Wind Talisman, and the wind was manipulated by him to serve as a blade. It flew at a high speed.

Mid-air, one could see a green blade of wind. It was green because it contained the condensed form of Shen Lian’s mana.

Gu Caiwei saw the blade of wind and waved her sleeve. The blade of wind disappeared.

Shen Lian had attached his mana on the blade of wind, and yet he could clearly felt that the blade of wind had disappeared. At the same time, the Qi of vitality on Gu Caiwei was not fluctuating intensely.

The sound of thunder could be heard on the cliff, and suddenly the sand gathered, or the long sword broke through the sky; there were many variations of it all at once.

In the beginning, Shen Lian still held back. Towards the end, he tried everything that he knew and he gave it his best. However, all Dao techniques that contained mana or sword aura were useless against Gu Caiwei, it was as though she was unaffected by any kind of techniques.

In the end, Shen Lian had tried everything he knew besides the ”Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura”.

Of course, he did not use the Deity Vanquishing Sword as well. After all, the injury on one’s heart and soul could not be undone, and even if it was unlikely that Gu Caiwei would be hurt, he was not about to take the risk.

Moreover, they were not in an actual battle; Gu Caiwei was merely trying to show him the Taixu Strategy.

Shen Lian had microbeads of sweat on him. The usage of all these different skills was actually taking a toll on him.

The way Gu Caiwei undid his skills were fascinating, and there was no sign of battle on the cliff.

Lastly, Gu Caiwei walked over. ”I only know the basics of Taixu Strategy. However, you can never hurt me with the Daoist techniques nor martial arts that you have cultivated. If you have entered the state of Huandan and have a certain level of cultivation, most of the techniques in this world would be useless against those who cultivate the Taixu Strategy like us,” she said.

”What happens after I attain longevity through the Taixu Strategy then?” Shen Lian had doubts in his mind and asked without thinking twice. If Gu Caiwei had blocked all of his Dao techniques with some other means, he might be able to identify something. However, she did not do anything besides waving her sleeve. She did not even use a Talisman, nor did she chant any runes. There was not even any noticeable ripple in the mana and Qi, and that was all it took to undo his Dao techniques and Talismans. Gu Caiwei had not even attained the state of Huandan, and she was already so unpredictable. Shen Lian wondered what kind of power one would have after Huandan, or even as an immortal Zhenren.

Gu Caiwei did not respond to this question directly. ”Back then, Grandmaster Qingshui enjoyed quite the reputation and had made a lot of strong enemies. Once, a group of users of supernatural powers attacked her, and she defeated all of them all by herself. At that time, the Grandmaster had not even completed her Taixu Strategy yet,” replied Gu Caiwei.

From the way she talked about the Grandmaster, it was obvious that Gu Caiwei idolized her. Even a lady as gentle as her was excited by the thought of a woman overpowering the cultivators in the world.
