Chapter 167 Unhindered Sword Aura (1/2)

From time to time, there would be a sonic boom that explodes through the thick white fog and the fog would then gather together.

Within this instance, Shen Lian and Chao Xiaoyu had come to grips many times.

There was a crisp humming of the blade appearing in midair, and suddenly it resounded through the entire surface of the lake. The groaning of the sword was unending amongst this ever going blade sounds.

It then resumed to silence as Chao Xiaoyu and Shen Lian remained in mid-air. The thick fog and dark sky could not block both their line of gaze.

The pair’s gaze became brighter and then it condensed into a physical substance that extended into the physical world. It hit against each with shock within the thick fog.

Because the two’s ‘shen’ had surpassed the usually Huandan cultivators, they were the rare ones who were strong. They actually reproduced the result of Chen Jianmei and monk Baoguang’s confronting gaze, which aroused a lightning-like spark at the same time. Since the white fog was spreading continuously, as though weaving a big electric network with Shen Lian and Chao Xiaoyu being two individual hubs in this electric network.

”Shen Lian, there is no need for you and I to duel to the death. The confrontation we had is just right. You can also feel that if this continues, the best results would be neither side wins.”

Chao Xiaoyu spoke softly. She still treasured her life. Furthermore, there was no benefit to her to win. If it meant that Shen Lian could change his mind with her admitting her mistake and defeat, she was more than happy to do so.

Therefore, from a certain sense, she is a simple person. The simpler the person is, the scarier they are.

It is like when the ever-changing moves are then refined into a few moves when it is being used, there is almost no stopping it and it was also hard to find flaws in it.

Shen Lian’s Dao robes fluttered. The cloud-like fog under his feet gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again. It was as though there was a spray of a tornado of air flow which made his form appeared to be at ease. But if one noticed his facial expression, there was an unexplainable excitement on it, which filled his temperament with a sense of contradiction and complication. He borrowed the dissatisfaction from when Chao Xiaoyu trounced him in Shendu and transformed it into his desire to do battle while combining it with the sword will of the grand master.

He finally controlled this sword will and understood the prospect of taking a life.

Killing a life was not the path of the demon, but it was doing the universe a favor by getting rid of vile spawn and the grievances of the living creatures. How could it blind his inner heart? He would not have given that young man in bloodied clothes to strike again if he was to kill Xiao Shiyi again.

This desire to do battle started with Chao Xiaoyi so it should end with her, which they can only cause Shen Lian to regain inner peace.

Now, he had already forgotten about the worries of life and death. He only wanted to have a simple and direct fight for once.

So far, this has been one of the moments where he vigorously desires to do battle, even though the other was a female.

Shen Lian, filled with confidence, said, ”Do not think of other things. If you even slightly hold back, whatever hard work you put in this lifetime would be for naught.”

Chao Xiaoyu sighed softly and with the change of her facial expression, there was no more emotion appearing on it. She was cold like a god as she watched from above.

She was not Chao Xiaoyu but a god that is worshiped by many. Like in the beginning of time, she is everlasting and established, even indestructible.

Chao Xiaoyu waved the lotus blade in her hand and a bright light exploded from her body, as though the gods wanted to punish Shen Lian. The knife sliced through the air and the sounding of stringing rang through the air, heavenly sounds like a Buddhist chant. It was unknown where it began or where it ended.

If there was an end, it would be the blade taking Shen Lian’s life.
