Chapter 241 One Sword To Swallow the Sun and Moon (1/2)

Jiang Hanyan put down her glazed frost-like, fair and clear wrist. The sword will from her was becoming more ethereal like a cumulus cloud as it dissipates in all directions without a trace.

”You are also here for the Fengsheng Beast?” Jiang Hanyan stood quietly there, her eyes pinned on Shen Lian. Her gaze was not especially indifferent and strict, but it was like the lonesome moonlight that scattered on Shen Lian.

Shen Lian had bright eyes and an elegant appearance, which somehow made him seemed harmless. However, from the moment he appeared, Jiang Hanyan did not once overlook him, she even paid more attention towards Shen Lian compared to that witch of the Nine Lotus Order.

Being the Senior Apprentice-Sister of the Chunyang Daoist Palace and the disciple with the most extraordinary talent with fabulous looks of all time, there were few that she would think highly off. Even the venerable from before that, who cultivated the Art of Gigantes was merely a slightly stronger ant in her eyes.

As for the two persons in front of her, no matter their mana or the demeanor that was displayed. They made her faced them squarely. This capture of the Fengsheng Beast was originally a task without challenge, but now there was some difficulty to it, it made it less bland for her.

Before encountering Chen Jianmei's Killing Sword, it would be nice to have both of these 'blade grinders', to warm up her skills.

Zhao Xiaoyu leisurely said, ”Since you already know, why do you need to ask?”

”Under the sky, there are cultivators of Dao amongst all things. From what I can see, 'Dao' is strength. If your 'Dao' could exceed my 'Dao', this Fengsheng Beast is naturally yours.” What Jiang Hanyan said clearly fell on both their ears.

She was direct and very cruel.

Shen Lian understood that since young, everyone had different experiences and grew up in different environments. Naturally, there would be different perspectives on the same matter.

There was a good verse in Buddhist scripture, ”All sages and saints have different enlightenment of the Asamskrta.”

Asamskrta was that there was no Dharma anywhere, so even if the wise person could see the nature of this world but their choices would not be the same.

Even if the goal was same for the way of Dao, different people would have different temperaments.

Towards Jiang Hanyan direct utterance, Shen Lian felt something that was different compared to Zhao Xiaoyu's steadiness.

For a person like her, he could only defeat her and not persuade her.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Hanyan was the person that he felt uncertain about defeating. However, he really wanted to get that Fengsheng Beast so he would not simply give up.

For all his life, he was quite casual but for matters that he was determined to do, he would not give up so easily.

A strong coercion aura surged from Shen Lian and the graceful bearing of the master that he displayed made Jiang Hanyan concentrate even more.

This was no figure that could be dealt with one or two thrusts of the sword.

The stronger Shen Lian was, the happier she was. From the way she saw it, for one to have abilities that could shock the world, one should be able to make their way across the world to their heart's content.

Any obstacles in the way could be dealt with a blow of the sword. All she was after was the satisfaction.

Zhao Xiaoyu appropriately backed off and did not participate in their confrontation. It was until this moment that she could finally catch a glimpse of that bottomless strength of Shen Lian.

The Chunyang Daoist Palace had a huge reputation in the Tianhua Continent, it would not be overstating that being its Senior Apprentice-Sister, she was the exception one amongst the younger batches. A figure like her was enough to be described as the favored girl of the heavens.

Despite that, Zhao Xiaoyu was still confident about Shen Lian. No one was more impressed than her with Shen Lian's massive improvements over these years. Furthermore, this almost invincible strong temperament had always been hidden within the depths of Shen Lian's inner mind. It did not easily show. This time, it was an excellent opportunity for Zhao Xiaoyu to observe.

Shen Lian slightly lifted his hand and the entire pool of water was moved by him. The monstrous waves were like a giant palm that concealed the heaven and earth, as though it would smash Jiang Hanyan into pieces.

This high proficiency usage of all things in this universe showed the profound Dao state of Shen Lian, being able to control all matters in the universe.

It could be the grass, the wood, the bamboo or the stone; it could be the floating clouds or the clear pool of water, all these could be transformed into his weapons to attack the enemy.

'The Dharma is the method, the Dao is the origin.'

With the originality of the Dao to control all beings, there were countless changes and endless power.

The ordinary water, of course, would not affect Jiang Hanyan one bit but with the big wave crashing in, the immense force that was condensed would shatter even the strongest walls.

Jiang Hanyan's cold eyes brightened and her jade-like hands gently extended. A shapeless substance of mana condensed with such dumbfoundingly amazing force that it was more terrifying than a tyrannizing typhoon.

The autumn river water like the peaceful cold smoke; even though it seemed calm, in actual fact when it moved, it moved in crashing waves that could sweep up a thousand snow piles.

The wisp-like sword will become a looming cloud in an instance. It was vast and mammoth-like. It collided with the crashing wave by Shen Lian.

Like a peerlessly sharp magic weapon, it split the palm-like stormy waves and cut off the immense Qi strength while at the same time, she mercilessly cut the pool of water in two. While the huge gap was being cut, it then charged towards Shen Lian's slim body.

Shen Lian was swept by the overpowering mana and his entire body immediately scattered.

It seemed horrifying but in actual fact, there was no torn flesh to be seen.

This was because his speed was too quick and that was the illusion which remained.

There was no spells or occult, it was solely because he was too quick.
