Chapter 145 Shapeless Sword Aura (1/2)

Shen Lian was deep in thoughts. He looked even more carefree than Chen Jianmei was previously.

Daoist Shi’s expression was serious – this person had yet to reach the stage of Huandan, and his Yin Spirit had yet to reach the floating clouds, but he was not one to be underestimated.

His sword carried a sense of humanity, and from his previous dead or alive experience, he could tell this person was extremely dangerous.

Cultivators tended to have great instincts. If one did not possess the ability to detect danger, one could not live long in the Xi Huang, except if he was unbeatable.

Xi Huang was dangerous and chaotic. The landscapes were precipitous, and there were demons everywhere. Hence, for cultivators to survive there, they must possess great fighting ability.

Daoist Shi was not stunned. He had decided to let go of his life, thus he had no worries or fear. He had reached an extremely revered state. Without that, he probably could not claim to bring trouble to Chen Jianmei.

The wind gusted through the branches of willows. The journey to the end of the world would be long, and while Shen Lian was close by, it felt like he was at the end of the world.

His voice was indistinct. It was unknown to people where the voice came from. He had contracted his breath to the state of Xuanwei. People who could see him would not be able to distinguish if that was him, or the image of him.

”I am the student of Qing Xuan. I suppose among all the previous generations of Qing Xuan, I am one of the talented ones.” It was confusing to others as to why Shen Lian said this before a fight.

Daoist Shi pumped his power into the sword. It was originally just a common sword. However, as the sword never left his side for a hundred years, and had taken its place in many battles, it had become a rare equipment and carried a sense of humanity.

The sword was soon covered with a layer of green ray. It made the body of the sword to be as clear as the water. Nobody dared to doubt the power of the sword.

Daoist Shi kept quiet. He was still trying to look for the source of Shen Lian’s Qi.

”What I am pursuing in Qing Xuan is what people call the hardest cultivation method – Taixu Strategy. It is apparently more difficult than the Shapeless Sword Formula practiced by Chen. Despite that, I managed to complete a small part of it. After I succeeded, I’ve never utilized it fully,” Shen Lian spoke slowly, and his Qi appeared to be even more indistinct.

”I won’t let you know how powerful Taixu Strategy is today, because you don’t deserve to die under this top cultivation method. Today I will use only sword.” Nobody present felt what Shen Lian said was funny.

For someone experienced, they may know how powerful Taixu Strategy was. According to Taishan Zhenren Lu Jiuyuan, this cultivation method was as good as the Enlightenment Scripture, even though he subsequently added that nobody could beat him with any existing method.

It was a sufficient evidence to prove how powerful Taixu Strategy was.

Daoist Shi definitely heard of that before. The person who made a request for him to tackle Chen Jianmei had informed him in detail about the top cultivation methods in Qing Xuan, as well as how powerful Chen Jianmei was. He even told him there was someone who successfully mastered the Taixu Strategy, a woman, and that it was impossible for her to appear here.

Shen Lian did not lie because there was no need to. Attempting to threaten people at this level had no effect.

Furthermore, Shen Lian did not intend to utilize Taixu Strategy - he wanted to kill him with his sword, his wooden sword. The opponent's sword was a metal sword. In the five elements, the metal could destruct the wood.

He also had to recognize that the power of Daoist Shi was probably above him. It was the worst strategy he could apply but he did it anyway.

He was being extremely arrogant, but he did not seem like he was full of himself.

There were two people at a distance, a monk and a daoist.

The Daoist was very good looking, on par with Shen Lian. The monk looked as though he had been through great suffering. The shoes he was wearing were already damaged, revealing his toes.

It was the perfect position to watch the battle between Shen Lian and Daoist Shi.

The Daoist smiled, ”There are indeed a lot of talents from Qing Xuan. Given Master you've been in service for Ming Wang Temple, I wonder what you think of this young man.”
