Chapter 251 Tianguan Disuo (1/2)

Shen Lian could feel clearly that the mana within him was fraught with traces of evil Qi. The evil Qi intertwined with his mana.

The traces of evil Qi were constantly consuming his mana and were even invading his spirit. He was starting to see doubles.

Shen Lian raised his mana and crossed through the forest like a wisp of smoke. It was only until the sun was about to rise and he felt the clear distance between him and Yanxu that he stopped on top a giant tree branch. Yanxu would not be able to catch up to him in a short period of time. He raised his hand and saw that there were demonic marks all over his fair arm; the marks were pure black and seemed strange.

The evil Qi had merged with his mana and it was not something that Shen Lian could undo within minutes. In fact, he might not be able to undo it even if he was given a long period of time.

Daoism was not particularly remarkable when it came to tackling Sky Demons. Buddhism was the best in this. Back when Manjushri had attained Dao, he had killed one hundred thousand Sky Demons. On the other hand, millions of Sky Demons too had appeared when Buddha attained Dao. However, they were all purified by Buddha in the end. Of course, there was an endless stream of Sky Demons and not even Buddha could exterminate them completely. However, it was obvious that Dharma had a restraining effect over Sky Demons. Yanxu's tactics were unimaginable and were connected to the Sky Demons. If Shen Lian intended to go against this person, he might have to pay the sacred site of Buddhism a visit.

Shen Lian's thoughts flashed past, and he immediately dispelled any long-term plans; his priority was on the current emergency.

An ancient passage of words came to mind. That was a secret technique found in the records of Taiwei Pavilion, ”Tianguan Disuo Formula”. He did not expect that it would come in handy one day.

Taixu mana started to swirl around according to the initial path; the evil Qi and mana that had combined together were moving along with the Taixu mana too.

Thin strands of evil Qi intertwined with the mana. However, due to the unique path that the Taixu mana was traveling, the evil Qi was rolled up into a ball. It was encapsulated within Shen Lian's Taixu mana and was unable to escape.

The ”Tiansuo Diguan” was a temporary measure that dealt with the invasion of foreign Qi that could not be immediately expelled. The foreign Qi was then locked up in the body with a special means. The foreign Qi would be in a limbo. On the other hand, the user's mana would be restrained too. The amount of mana being restrained depended on the quality of the foreign Qi.

Shen Lian did not expect Yanxu's evil Qi to be so powerful that it had taken up a great portion of his mana. Though, this showed that Yanxu was probably at his weakest now.

The evil Qi was so pure that Shen Lian would not believe if one were to claim that Yanxu still had his full force.

However, from their overall performance, Shen Lian could tell that Yanxu was a lot better than him.

Little did Shen Lian know that the evil Qi was a manifestation of the Supreme Heart Demon Chant performed by Yanxu, and it was something that could only be performed by him alone! However, if he were to lose this Supreme Heart Demon Chant, he would be faced with a great loss.

Tianguan Disuo, the inside and outside were being isolated from each other, the shadow that loomed over Shen Lian's heart faded slightly. However, Shen Lian could still sense danger hanging over his head.

It would be impossible for him to return to Qing Xuan now. There was nowhere to hide amidst the vast sea, and it was difficult to battle against Yanxu now too.

If he were to head towards the mountain gate, he would risk being ambushed by Yanxu and might not even be able to escape.

Shen Lian made up his mind and continued to travel in the north-west direction. It was exactly opposite from the mountain gate of Qing Xuan. Though, he would not be able to meddle in the battle between the Empress and Huang Longzi anymore.

He hoped that the Empress attained success with her Bestowment Technique. When that happened, no one in this thirty-thousand-miles river basin could do anything to her.

The Empress should be able to walk on a wider path; however, not everyone was destined to fulfill their goals.
