Chapter 249 The District of Sky Demon (2/2)

However, Shen Lian retracted his sword gleam and protected himself with it. The sound of the sword swirled around him, and an insect with cow horns rammed onto the sword screen. It was shattered into pieces and emitted poisonous gas. Though, the sword aura blocked it out.

All of these were visible to Shen Lian under the sword gleam.

The flying insect with cow horns had the face of a human. Shen Lian could even see its resentment right before it was shattered into pieces. This was known as Sky Demon Insect and that was not its only form. It had a human face due to the gathering of the resentment of spiritual beings, and Shen Lian perceived it as a human face because he himself was a human. If he belonged to another species, he would have seen something different.

That could not have been the only Sky Demon Insect. Another Sky Demon Insect appeared. Rather, it was the previous Sky Demon Insect that was shattered into pieces; its remnants regrew in the wind, and it was rebirth anew. It was a flying insect with cow horns and had black wings. It had the luster of metal, and it rammed hard into Shen Lian's protective sword gleam.

Shen Lian could feel clearly that the Sky Demon Insect had gotten slightly stronger as compared to before.

Still, he killed the new-born Sky Demon Insect mercilessly. More remnants appeared, and they were all blocked out by the sword screen. A massive group of Sky Demon Insect appeared, just like how the human minds would conceive distracting thoughts late at night. The harder one tried to avoid the distracting thoughts, the more they would appear.

Shen Lian continued slashing with his sword gleam, and he allowed for the dense group of flying insects that were getting stronger to ram into his weakening sword screen with their cow horns. He was completely surrounded by the flying insects, and he seemed like a giant cocoon. However, this cocoon was the purest of black, and it blended into the night.

Initially, there was still sword gleam emitting from within the cocoon, but it had disappeared in the end, as it was sealed off by the cocoon. The only difference was, the black cocoon could not stop the sound of the sword.

It was just as how the running water in the Qingshui River had never stopped flowing.

The darkness masked overall auras, and the battle between Shen Lian and Yanxu did not take place in the real world.

In the vast wide world, the Qingshui River flew with grandeur and continuity.

However, the water was not flowing downstream this time. There was a golden dragon there, and it was emitting endless strong aura into the rolling river water; at the same time, it absorbed all of the words of spell. At that moment, the river water started flowing against the current and charged at the yellow dragon upstream.

”I sacrificed myself because of my great ambition, and I dare to revamp the world.”

Without great ambition, one could not change the world and create new sceneries.

The Empress was not just helping Shen Lian, she had finally understood the Indestructible Immortal Body. It was precisely because it was indestructible, so it could serve as an aid to attain supreme Dao fruit.

Without sacrificing oneself, there would not be a state of Dao that was as pure as this and there would not be power to change the sun and the moon.

Even though the river flowed in reverse, but her heart was pure. All the living beings in the thirty-thousand-miles river basin shared the same sentiment; all they wanted was a safe harbor, the bestowment of the Empress and the Indestructible Immortal Body had become a protective measure for the spiritual beings in this area.

Zuo Shaoqing stood up and unsheathed his long sword. Maneuvering his sword gleam, he charged at the yellow dragon.

”I'm willing to assist the River God to kill this demonic spirit.”

Jiang Shuijie too had directed his sword gleam and charged at Huang Longzi with no reserve.

”I'm willing to assist the River God to kill this demonic spirit.”

Countless sword gleams followed each other; they seemed like soldiers of the River God and had repeated the same line. It echoed throughout the heaven and earth, and the power of the heart made the dragon, Huang Longzi, roared miserably in order to mask its fear.

He could not understand how these people still managed to stand up, and how they could turn into sword gleam and attacked him.
