Chapter 111 Zhao Xiaoyu (1/2)

It seemed like just with a clap of the hands, the opponent could easily lose his precious life.

That was a depressing feeling, but he did not let it hinder him.

Without closing his eyes, he allowed the fear to creep through his body. He remained unmoved.

All of a sudden, the pressure was released. He was relieved, but a palm was right in front of him, at a distance of an inch. He lifted his left leg and leaned backward. He came in at an extremely acute angle towards the opponent’s elbow. It felt his body was light like feather, which was what allowed him to perform such a move.

This movement too existed in Shen Lian’s previous life. It was similar to what was known as Yoga. Yoga’s primary focus was the three meridians and seven cycles. Unlike the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it was another body of cultivation.

Shen Lian’s spiritual consciousness observed that in the middle of the opponent’s body, there was a blue Qimai. It was the main path of his energy source, and it was almost aligned with the spine.

The opponent’s speed was as fast as lightning, but under Shen Lian’s senses, it was played at a much slower speed.

Shen Lian easily dodged the opponent’s perfect leg sweep. At the same time, his palm went like ”Yecha exploring the sea1”, which landed on the chest of the man with staged eyebrows.

He fell hard to the ground and landed on his back and bum. With the momentum, the blue Qimai has almost blown away entirely. Without the protection of the mystical power, the fall was even more painful. He could not help but moan.

Shen Lian laughed at how the man lost his composure and said, ”This move, ”Fall of the Bum like a Crane” is pretty amazing.”

The weird-browed man was extremely irritated. He could not gather Qi in his body. He stood up using his hands as support and said, ”You can treat me however you want since I lose today. However, my master wants to invite you over tonight at the North Lake Cuiyun Pavilion for a drink. Would you be willing to go?”

North Lake was the red light district of Shendu City, which was all about sensual pleasures. Places like brothels, theatres were everywhere. Some people even claimed the even the water of North Lake smelled like women’s fragrances.

”Since I am invited, why not?” Shen Lian smiled.

The weird-browed man initially thought that Shen Lian would release his anger on him and reject the invite. He did not expect Shen Lian to say yes.

This person was indeed powerful. He should have listened to his master to not test the waters. He still could not tell how deep his power could go, but Shen Lian could easily spot his Achilles heel.

The weird-browed man took out an invitation card. The fragrance was still lingering. It was a pleasant smell – it was the smell of Otherworldly.

Otherworldly was a precious spiritual item. When cultivators practiced Qi, by lighting up one of those Otherworldly incense, it could help calm the spirit and also the circulation of inner Qi. Over time, it could help improve the spirit.

The invitation card was obviously brought out from a silent room that had a burning Otherworldly. One should not underestimate such a person who could afford such luxury.

The reason why Ye Liuyun was seeking to kill Bai Yunfei was because he stole the Otherworldly. Even with accumulation throughout the years, the Otherworldly was still rare at the Mingjian Peak and was rarely used.

The weird-browed man could consider above average in Jianghu, but he was merely a servant. It explained how powerful his master was.

For someone who did not know any manners, Shen Lian thought that some punishments were appropriate.

The invitation card wrote the following:

”It is a good night for moon watching, hence I invite you over for a drink. Please don’t turn it down. Signed by, Zhao Xiaoyu.”

Shen Lian was looking at the rather neat handwritings of the host. It expressed the relaxed demeanor of the writer. He could imagine the person who wrote this, did it in a room filled with smoke, behind some silver curtains and used a pen which was probably was a brow pen - a cosmetic tool for ladies to fill in their brow.

Shen Lian had his reason to attend. It was not because the host was a beautiful woman, but since she took notice of him, they would have certainly crossed path. He could take the chance to know about the person better.

He answered, ”I will attend.”
