Chapter 250 The Supreme Heart Demon Chan (2/2)

Suddenly, the brilliant Milky Way disappeared. It had turned into starlight that was as bright as the stars in the sky. The dots of starlight had dissolved the demonic cocoon completely, and the cocoon was replaced by a butterfly. The butterfly extended its wing as though it had just broken through the cocoon.

”Pipe dream,” those were the only two words that Shen Lian uttered.

Zhuangzhou had a dream where he did not know if he was the butterfly or the butterfly was him; it was difficult to differentiate between real and fake, oneself and others.

The butterfly flapped its wings gently, and someone snorted in the dark. Countless long ropes extended forward as they tried to restrain the butterfly.

Yanxu smiled coldly. This time around, it was the old fool's meaning of Dharma. He could never forget this. Though, would he not have spent all these years in vain?

The world spun and the moon remained clear and bright.

Shen Lian's light green Daoist robe was in a tattered state and his Daoist bun had been undone. His long hair flew freely in the air and he was pale as a white sheet of paper. There was no hint of blood on his face. At the same time, black evil Qi appeared and hovered over all of the acupoints on his body. With the strength of his mana, he vibrated it away slightly. However, the Qi still found its way into his body, and there were flashes of demonic marks appearing on his pale face.

Shen Lian did not have the luxury to contemplate about it. He jumped into the river water immediately.

Yanxu appeared the moment Shen Lian had jumped into the river water. He did not bother with the battle between Huang Longzi and the Empress and stared closely at the river water. He pointed his finger and a small boat appeared on the water surface. The small boat remained static amidst the rolling water. In a flash, he appeared on the small boat; his white clothes looked like clouds and snow and he stood atop the small boat. ”Are you still trying to escape even after you have been subjected to my Supreme Heart Demon Chant?” He smiled.

However, Yanxu's figure seemed translucent under the moonlight. The moonlight filtered past his body and his shadow was nowhere to be found on the small boat. He did not seem to be made out of blood and flesh. In fact, he was not as creepily scary as before. To be frank, Yanxu knew all too well that it was difficult to say who amongst the two of them had the upper hand. However, Yanxu was extremely focused this time around, as he was determined to capture Shen Lian.

At the rate Shen Lian was improving, it would be very troublesome for him if he had missed this chance. Previously, he merely saw Shen Lian as an outstanding youngling. However, he was treating him as equal now.

Shen Lian's previous decision to slash away the Sky Demon Insects seemed to be the right choice. This was because the moment he stopped and focused solely on his defense, he might feel helpless for his predicament. At that moment, Yanxu would be able to leverage on that weak point of his and to defeat him completely.

However, Yanxu did not expect Shen Lian to be so rational and decisive. He polished his sword will with it and had even gone as far as utilizing the Milky Way Swordsmanship to create an opening in his District of Sky Demon. At that moment, he had almost gotten away with the old fool's ”pipe dream”.

All these thoughts flashed past, and the lone boat flowed along with the current. It was like a sharp arrow that pierced through the river current and had disappeared at a faraway point.

River water could cover a lot of traces, but it was difficult to hide from Yanxu. To a certain extent, dealing with Yanxu was tougher than dealing with certain land immortals. This was so as Shen Lian could hide his track with the Tongtian Concealment Skill. Even land immortals who were familiar with all sort of techniques would not be able to trace him down.

However, Yanxu's Free Form Incarnation seemed creepier and was different from most spells in the world. Even after he had escaped to a few hundred miles away, Shen Lian still felt the shadow looming over his heart. Yanxu could roughly gauge his whereabouts and was tracing him down.

When he emerged from the river water, the moon was still high up in the sky. Shen Lian entered the dense forest and was performing countless secret techniques. He had left behind a wide array of Dao talismans.
