Chapter 148 The Blood-Red Sword Gleam (2/2)

The void became darker as the moonlight of the heaven and earth was absorbed by the demonic blade. Overhead, the dark clouds gathered and threatened to pour. The atmosphere was tense.

The demonic blade finally clashed with the dragon-like Shapeless Sword Aura, and the moonlight sparked all over, falling into the void and the calm sea.

The breeze swept past the waves, and the sparks were scattered like a slope-full of stars.

In the dark, the sparks of moonlight came as a consolation.

Right at that moment, everyone felt a terrifying explosion which emanated between Chen Jianmei and Baoguang. Before the sound of the explosion was heard, the seawater remained calm. It took on a mystical appeal having received the countless falling moonlight.

The impact of the sudden explosion affected the surface of the sea first. Countless sea water droplets that were salty and bitter splashed all over. Some of the spectators did not manage to dodge it and ended up being soaked.

The body of demons and monsters were a lot stronger than human cultivators, which was why they barely felt anything. However, most of the human cultivators felt pain – something that they had not felt for a long time.

A lot of different protection spells were used. Some used a thin film of light, some used umbrella, some even used a thin veil of cloth; different instruments and spells were used. However, there were some who did not take any measure for protection at all.

Shen Lian looked towards the rocks; the monk and the Daoist seemed the calmest out of the surrounding spectators, and they were also the scariest.

The monk smiled slightly at him, and the Daoist shot him a cold glare without any further unnecessary movement.

Some moonlight returned back into Baoguang’s body following the explosion.

Even under the dark sky, it could still be seen that Chen Jianmei who stood in the void was in distress. His Daoist up-do was undone, and his long hair fell casually. His Daoist robe was worn out, and visible holes could be seen.

The dark clouds shrouded the sky, and both moonlight and starlight could not pass through. The clash between the both of them caused changes to their surroundings, leading to the current predicament.

Within the heaven and earth, a voice rang. ”Shen Lian, observe this move closely,” a Daoist voice spoke.

That was Chen Jianmei speaking. Baoguang Zen Master had not given it his best and Chen Jianmei was injured. Yet, from Chen Jianmei tone, it seemed as though he was certain of his victory.

Chen Jianmei’s Shapeless Sword Aura was gone, but he still had his sword with him. A long sword appeared in his hand, and it seemed to have endless killing aura attached to it. The appearance of the sword brought forth endless murderous thoughts in the air, and it was a lot more frightening than the demonic blade used by Baoguang earlier.

Indeed, some part of the murderous thoughts came from the demonic thoughts of the demonic blade, which turned into food for this Killing Sword. No wonder Chen Jianmei wanted to test the waters with his body, and no wonder that his Daoist robe was torn.

It was not that he could not block off the explosion earlier, but his lack of protection was a purposeful act.

At the pinnacle of the Shapeless Sword Formula, one could use one’s heart as a sword. All of the demons and monsters slayed by Chen Jianmei all these years, their murderous thoughts were contained within this sword.

The longsword gleamed with the luster of blood and shot through the sky. It even passed through the dark clouds in a single line, and a small portion of moonlight and starlight made their way through.

Shen Lian’s attention was drawn towards Chen Jianmei’s Sword of Heart. It was as though he could break open the sea with the long sword if he wanted to.

Chen Jianmei finally made a move with his sword, and Shen Lian’s heart was beating in anticipation.

The killing intent from the sword was clean and neat, it was as though it could take away any unfairness in this world.

Chen Jiamei was one with his sword, and the bloody sword gleam pierced at Baoguang Zen Master. The void was vibrating with fear.

Monk Baoguang formed a hand gesture, and a ray appeared. It was purple inside and moonlight-yellow on the outside. This was the supreme protection spell of Jinguang Temple –”Moonlight Treasure Wheel”. It contained the wishes of the believers within it.

However, Monk Baoguang did not expect the Moonlight Treasure Wheel to not be able to withstand the strike of the sword. Upon contact, the Moonlight Treasure Wheel fell apart like a thin, flimsy paper. There was no resistance when it was broken apart by the bloody sword gleam.

The strength and power of this move were unexpected by everyone and even Baoguang Zen Master did not see it coming.

Baoguang Zen Master roared, and it sounded like the roar of a tiger. It sounded like the thunder from the Nine Heavens, and countless gold swastikas came out of his mouth. This was the manifestation of his cultivation.

Under the bloody sword gleam, the gold swastikas did not do much and were all eliminated.

Shen Lian was not joyous. His heart was filled with grief. There was an actual difference between Chen Jianmei and Baoguang, and it could not have been that easy for the former to break through the latter’s defense.

This was something that was the proper way of the world, and it definitely came at a price.

This was why Chen Jianmei told him to observe this move. This was likely to be the last time that he would see Chen Jianmei charging with his sword.

The brilliant move was founded upon his life force.

After having spent one half of one's life to cultivate in isolation, the world was finally made known of it upon one’s success; this was a precise description of Chen Jianmei.

After tonight, none of the spectators would be able to forget this person. No one would be able to erase the Sword of Blood and Ray from their memory. It was just like the beautiful fireworks that disappeared at their most brilliant moment.

When the gold swastikas had disappeared, the bloody sword gleam proceeded to slash towards Monk Baoguang. He was unable to resist. The Baoyue Guangwang body was shattered into pieces without blood.

On the sea, a monk floated on the water surface. It was not known if he was alive or dead.

After the bloody sword gleam took on Monk Baoguang’s Baoyue Guangwang body, it rushed through the sky without pause. The dark clouds were crushed and a bloody rainbow painted the sky. Shortly after, it disappeared without a trace.
