Chapter 154 Even Though Some Had Divine Blade (1/2)

The blade that was dark as the night blended into the night. Even though it was giving off black light that represented death, one could only pick up a small difference in the air. Like drawing with black in on a piece of black paper, regardless of however amazing the painter was, the end product would be blurry and barely noticeable.

The eight color sword aura had clear colors, and they were more brilliant than the pale moonlight. They spun around the Blood Dissipating Sword. As the eight colors crossed each other’s path, it seemed as though the Shui, Huo, Feng, and Lei were emanating, and the Tian, Di, Shan, and Ze followed. It was hard to tell what took shape and what had not, and the blade stopped short of three inches from Shen Lian’s brows and could not inch forward.

The eight color sword aura was incessant, and they shielded Shen Lian away from the blade that was dark as the night. Just like the line of ray before the break of dawn, it isolated the darkness from the light.

The Blood Dissipating Sword shivered, and it still could not break out of the bond of the eight color sword aura. It was like a trapped beast.

This was a true battle of Mana, and there was no room for falsification between life and death. Xiao Shiyi finally realized that there was a great distance between him and Shen Lian. He wondered why the person told him that he was ready to challenge Shen Lian.

The person had never lied to him before, and Shen Lian was his demonic obstacle, which was why he came without hesitation tonight.

The blade stopped mid-air. It was silent like the cold night, and the grounds and cliff were covered with white snow. Light glistened on the surface; it could have been the moonlight or the starlight. The natural light flew like water, and the snow was akin to silver.

However, the water-like light and thick snow around Shen Lian started vibrating with Shen Lian as the nucleus. The vibration got more and more intense.

Shen Lian absorbed the Qi of heaven and earth. He had never given off such a huge amount of Mana before. The spiral formed by the Taixu Divine Qi within him started spinning tens and hundreds of times faster than before. At the same time, his echo with the Qi of heaven and earth got a lot stronger, and he had never done such things before.

For the past ten over years, Xiao Shiyi had never experienced fear before. In fact, he did not even remember how fear felt. He thought that he would never be scared anymore - what a silly emotion that was! Now, he realized how ridiculous he was. His fearlessness was based on the Blood Dissipating Sword. The moment he lost it or it stopped functioning, he would be nothing.

Mana, instrument, and supernatural powers, these were all merely possessions. Only one’s strong will and determination to pursue Dao could last from the beginning of life till the end, and could never be taken away by anyone.

Shen Lian was aware of this, but not Xiao Shiyi.

Shen Lian’s agile spirit could sense Xiao Shiyi’s fear. When he harbored fear and started doubting the Blood Dissipating Sword, he created an opening for Shen Lian. However, it was not possible to make use of every opening, and in fact, if the opponent was Xiao Shiyi, Shen Lian did not even need an opening.

Right now, Shen Lian was faced with another difficulty. As the Qi of heaven and earth gathered and made Shen Lian felt as though he could not disappoint it, his will remained still as it operated the Qi that was about to explode. With the Taixu Divine Qi within him as the trigger, he echoed with the Qi of heaven and earth strongly. Even he himself was surprised by this.

This was the first time he felt as though he did not have what it took to succeed.

The emotion was akin to the river being overloaded with a giant ship. Even though the river was wide enough, but it was not sufficient to handle such a huge ship and could not allow for it to sail freely.

Shen Lian’s momentary pause gave Xiao Shiyi the opportunity to recoup. He had a gruesome expression on his face as he came to a decision. He clawed at his heart and fished out his heart. It was covered with blood, and blood was still oozing out everywhere. In the end, he sent the beating heart into the Blood Dissipating Sword. The blade as dark as the night consumed it mercilessly, and a shade of red that resembled the quarter moon appeared.
