Chapter 198 Big Spender (2/2)

But there were some lightning that managed to drill through his protective shield and the intensity of the thunder was vicious. He started feeling numb in his body and before he could put forward more mana, he felt a sudden force restraining him from all directions.

His body inevitably became shorter and fell off from the void.

Turns out that there was a fishing net above the sky that slammed down from the top. The net captured him and Zuo Shaoqing while strands of silk-like spiritual forces drilled into his orifices points to restrain his mana. His bier was raging and wanted to summon the sword will to attack but the spiritual forces were too quick and it even locked his Ancestral Cavity.

The fishnet fell from the sky once it was loaded with Ming Xunzhen and Zuo Shaoqing. Shen Lian, on the other hand, was calm and avoided the sword current as he took over the fishing net.

Apparently, Shen Lian had been making progress with his training of the Tongtian Skill. As long as his breath was reserved, the sword current would not be able to target him. Furthermore, the sword current had lost command from its master. The moment Shen Lian dodged it, it plunged into the vast ocean, as if a giant sea creature was swimming cluelessly in the sea.

Shen Lian took the fishing net and dragged the two persons. At this very moment, they could feel a wave of extremely concentrated clear Qi headed towards them from somewhere far away. It was then followed by a dash of flowing silver light coming from Qing Xuan that was headed in the direction of the clear Qi. Both Qis collided in the air and an explosive sound could be heard. The force could definitely match Shen Lian's 'Five Lightning Strikes'.

The clear Qi dispersed and the second wave did not come through. Shen Lian carried the fishnet across the ocean and headed back toward Qing Xuan.

The collision between the clear Qi and flowing light indicated that celestial beings were fighting. Shen Lian could not be bothered by it and only minded his own business.

Earlier on, Shen Lian used a precious talisman named 'Five Lightning Strikes', produced by a land immortal. The talisman was extremely difficult to make and it took the energy of the world to produce it. But once succeeded in applying it, it would unleash ten to twenty percent of the producer's Dao power.

Such powerful talisman was considered rare in Qing Xuan. If an ordinary sect owned it, they would treat it as their most precious treasure and would most probably be reluctant to use it unless there was a life and death crisis.

Shen Lian was not stingy with the treasures. To him, these items were external objects and were often used as accessories. It was not wasteful to use it.

Meng Xunzhen was a famous person for many years. He expected prodigies like Shen Lian to be arrogant and superior but who knew that Shen Lian would do as he likes to the extent where he would unreasonably use precious talismans.

Although the Five Lightning Strikes only contained ten to twenty percent of an immortal Zhenren's power, it was forceful enough to break open his shield, causing him to feel numb. While he struggled to transfer his mana, Shen Lian then used the fishnet-like superior instrument that has the ability to trap people and objects.

In the hall of Qing Xuan, Shen Lian transformed into a ray of Qing Guang and landed on the couch. He showed his true form - a graceful looking, seamless like jade teenage Chief with extraordinary charisma.

In contrast, Meng Xunzhen and his disciple who was trapped in the fishnet looked charred and perplexed after being struck by the thunder. Zuo Shaoqin fainted way earlier and his breath was weak. If he was not born tactful for swords and had amazing physiques, he would have been dead by now.

Shen Lian laughed and said, ”Swordsman Meng, if you really want to fight, I have no choice but to be rude.”

The entire body of Meng Xunzhen was charred and he had a charcoal-like face. With deep hatred, he looked at Shen Lian and said, ”It's nothing if you had to rely on external objects. If you have the guts, let's fight fairly with the sword.” It was not his first time dealing with chiefs from wealthy sects like Shen Lian. But he never expected Shen Lian would spend his treasures as if they were dirt. He was full of resentment as he was captured before he could show his true abilities.
