Chapter 135 The Lingbao Dragon Scripture (1/2)
The Eagle Demon then sternly said to the Water Deer Demon, ”When we get back and the king asked, tell her that it was I who captured this person. You hear me?”
He had it all planned out. If the human captured by the Water Deer Demon was ugly, old and scrawny with no flesh on his bones, the king would not be happy at all, he would just blame it on the Water Deer Demon. But Shen Lian looked clean, soft and supple. At a glance, he was top grade ingredient, if the king and the honored guest enjoyed the meal then there most probably would be a reward. Naturally, he had the thought of seizing the credit.
Shen Lian can see that this Eagle Demon was the ringleader within this ground of lower class demon, his smell was much stronger than the Water Deer Demon. But he was still weaker than the demon king. Perhaps in order to make it through the shapeshifting and trials of the Divine Thunder, he got external help in transforming. It was not that all demons could pull through this ordeal, even those who had pulled through would be very fragile. It would be akin to meeting their predators when they met a cultivator or its own kind, they have a really slim chance of survival.
The amount of demon who could attain human form after the ordeal was still not as close to the amount of cultivators of Daoism who achieve Huandan state by themselves.
This was where the advantage of celestial and dao sect lies. After all, there are secret cultivation techniques, experiences from predecessors, and one could even ask for protection from the school when they encounter certain trials.
The Water Deer Demon flushed. As stupid as he was, he naturally gotten mad when faced with this bare humiliation from the eagle leader. At this moment, he has forgotten about Shen Lian, this dangerous cultivator. He was no opponent to Shen Lian so generally, he could not capture Shen Lian. It was just that he had boasted on how the king treated him with importance only to be looked down by the Eagle Commander, he felt extremely ashamed.
He finally shouted back, ”Why should I?”
The Eagle Commander belted out in laughter, ”Oh, how capable of you.”
His body shook and he transformed into a ten feet wide male eagle, he was imposing and impressive. This was true to the temperament of demons, to solve problems by fists.
The giant wings lightly fluttered and a strong wind howled. The Water Deer Demon was swept away by the wings in an instance and flew away like a thin piece of paper. He was thrown in a far distance and then he landed on the ground. He transformed back to his original form, a small eyed river deer with misty eyes.
The strong gust of wind disappear when it reached the front of Shen Lian, not affecting him in any way at all.
The Eagle Demon’s eyes were like hooks as he vehemently glared at Shen Lian. It was obvious that Shen Lian was playing a trick and it turned out that he was no simple human. The eagle demon generally was not afraid, his body froze mid air and then a strong pounce followed.
This pause and pounce had its reasons. While pausing at the same time, the Qi of vitality of the area immediately concentrates on his body, these Qi acts like a flowing shield and rushed out in large volumes. A path was cleared first and then like the cold iron claws, it emits a metallic shine and breaks through the air. Ever since the demonic beings could tap into the spirits, they absorbed the essence of the universe and interact it closely with the Qi of vitality.
Even though most demons did not have any spells, but there were many who could control their Qi of vitality through their instinct and their powers should not be overlooked.
Before the iron claws, there was an incoming wind barrier that was something like a great shockwave. Shen Lian trained his eyes on the Eagle Demon, not a sign of panic on his expression.
The shockwaves did not hurt Shen Lian as though it had entered into a shapeless hole. There were four forms to the usage of the Taixu Divine Qi, there are ‘sheng’, ‘ke’, ‘zhi’ and ‘hua’.
With Shen Lian at the entry level now, he had already gotten the formula for ‘hua’. If it was not any intricate and deep spells, to him a normal attack was like the light breeze caressing the mountains, where it does not decrease the height of the peak; and it was like the moon shining over the river water, not leaving a mark.
