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

The blood light was so strong that it dispersed the eight color sword aura. Right after, it attacked Shen Lian with a perfect arc.

The bloody sword gleam was closing up to Shen Lian, and eventually, it struck him between his brows. Strange occurrences started to take place in the void. The raging Qi of heaven and earth crashed at the Blood Dissipating Sword. The unstoppable Qi of Vitality rendered all spells meaningless. Xiao Shiyi’s body headed towards the air, and the Blood Dissipating Sword trailed after. The close connection shared by the two seemed to be beyond just any usual instrument cultivated with one’s heart.

The explosion of the Qi of Vitality took on different colors following the eight Qi of Taixu, and it seemed like a divine work.

It was as though a giant lotus had bloomed, and vibrated through a huge, unknown radius.

Shen Lian did not have time for those. His body was affected by the vibration, but he kept it under control forcefully.

Dealing with Xiao Shiyi came second because he was extremely easy to deal with. He explored the limit of the echo between the Taixu Divine Qi and the Qi of heaven and earth and realized how strong the move was. What a shame that he needed more time, as he would not be able to unleash this move unless he was faced with cultivators with strong determination and unaffected by their surroundings.

On the snow ground, the Blood Dissipating Sword was right next to Xiao Shiyi. The blade that was as dark as the night still had hints of red on it.

There was a bloody hole on Xiao Shiyi’s chest, and it was a miracle that he was still alive and breathing. Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe him as barely alive.

Shen Lian did not pity him for his current predicament.

Shen Lian took the Blood Dissipating Sword with no emotion on his face. He felt its power rushing through and rolled forward like the tides. It made him think that if he were to take over the Blood Dissipating Sword and be at its disposable, he would be an existence akin to the deities.

With the Blood Dissipating Sword in his hand, Shen Lian struck at Xiao Shiyi. He did not split into half, instead, he turned into a pool of blood water. In the end, he was absorbed by the blade. Only his blood-stained outfit was left behind.

His outfit was stained with the blood of all the members of the Xiao family, and now it was stained with his own blood. Shen Lian ignited a flame and burnt the bloody outfit. As he did so, he wished for the sin to be disappeared from the world.

From the last remaining flame, a hint of blood fell onto Shen Lian without a sound. It was the resentment of the living creatures that were killed. Shen Lian felt something tugged at his heart, but he had not noticed the hint of blood yet.

Shen Lian stared at the Blood Dissipating Sword he now held in his hands; it was nourished by the Qi and blood of countless humans and demons, and Shen Lian could feel the spiritual force within it. He could also sense the friendliness shown by the Blood Dissipating Sword.

Some people claimed that there was neither righteousness nor evilness when Dao techniques were concerned, and whether it was righteous or evil depended on its user. However, any cultivator with a determined heart and morals would not resort to this sort of instrument.

Shen Lian did not try to console himself, and he was not about to just dispose of it casually. He did not want to risk having it fall into the wrong hands. He had plans for it.

Since Xiao Shiyi’s Qi and blood was contained in the Blood Dissipating Sword, he decided that he would offer it up to the word, ”Yuan” as a sacrificial offering.
