Chapter 255 The Extermination of Celestial (1/2)

”You are still pretty much the same as before. Let's go in and take a look,” Ye Liuyun said as he gestured from his scarlet throne.

Shen Lian noticed that beneath his politeness, lurked killing vibes. It was not directed at him but was merely due to the fact that too many lives had been lost in his hands.

What flew past Ye Liuyun's hands now were not white fluffy clouds, but the fresh blood of living creatures.

Shen Lian was curious about what happened to Ye Liuyun over the past twenty years, but he did not ask. He knew that there must be something unspeakable for someone to survive until then after killing so many living creatures. At least for now, Shen Lian did not despise Ye Liuyun.

”Brother Ye, have you not been inside yet? You seem to know a lot about what happened here,” said Shen Lian in spite of his inner monologue.

”Don't ask me too much about it. I did not lie to you. Before this, I have never been in Ming Wang Temple. It's just that I have some supernatural powers now, and it is unavoidable that I know about certain things. I haven't come to see this for myself until today. Though, I didn't expect to run into you of all people,” Ye Liuyun smiled.

Shen Lian looked at the gentle breeze behind Ye Liuyun; the breeze blew at the corner of his white sleeve that was plated with golden rims. The condensation of Yin Qi seemed like clouds that were unreachable, and they had a certain mystical quality to them. Shen Lian wondered if it was because of a long time that he had spent in Yin Mountain, even the breeze and the clouds had become his eyes and ears.

These supernatural powers must have arisen from his deep understanding of Dao.

”I shall lead the way for you then,” Shen Lian spoke.

The dark and dull temple seemed creepy coupled the presence of the sword's mark. Moreover, it was completely silent in there. Shen Lian suspected that the monster that had the head of a cow and the body of a man, the mountain of knives, the Golden Path, the sea of fire, they appeared when the enlightened monks of Ming Wang Temple had attained Dharma. These were left behind by the foreign Sky Demons, and they served as a natural restriction that isolated Da Ming Wang Temple from the outside world. Occasionally, they could be utilized to train the monks in the temple. They were preserved because the sword aura could not be used against them.

However, the current predicament within Da Ming Wang Temple was not something that Shen Lian could extrapolate from his previous experience.

The silent sword's mark showed that Da Ming Wang Temple was not as scary as everyone thought it to be and that it could be easily broken with just one slash. However, Shen Lian was not at that stage where he could ignore all of these yet.

Though, he still walked into Ming Wang Temple in a carefree manner.

Ye Liuyun's throne turned into a flash of blood light and trailed after Shen Lian.

There were no monks within plain sight. Perhaps it was because that the restriction placed at the door of the temple had been broken, the Yin Qi had rushed in and turned the plants into deep green. When inspecting up close, they all seemed to have the face of a human and it was a frightening scene.

The plants in Ming Wang Temple had gained spirituality due to the prolonged exposure to Buddhism. The invasion of the Yin Qi on the Yin Mountain had led to their spirituality being tainted with the resentment of the dead. A special type of spiritual grass had been formed.

This kind of grass was full of resentment, and at the same time, they contained the dead's desperate will to live. Some spiritual grass had gone haywire and started attacking Shen Lian te moment he appeared. The grass had sharp blades, and they even cut through a block of stone blocking in front of Shen Lian. The blades of the spiritual grass charged at Shen Lian along with the shattered pieces of rock. Out of a sudden, a flash of sword light appeared and it was quicker than lightning.

Everything including the grass, trees, bamboos, and rocks within a fifty feet perimeter turned into dust. The resentment of the dead did not even have time to wail before they had disappeared from the world and turned into the purest of Yin Qi.

It was not Shen Lian who struck, but Ye Liuyun who did so.

At that moment, he held a short sword in his hand. The sword was clear as water. Ye Liyun swung it gently, and there was no vibration on it at all.

This was known as the Sword within the Sleeve. However, when this martial art from the human realm was wielded by Ye Liuyun, it had turned into that one at the level of deities and demons.
