Chapter 258 Heart of the people (1/2)

The rain was heavy but none of it fell on Yanxu. It was because they went past him like he was just a shadow.

He could feel some sword intent, but it was from Shen Lian and it felt like it was not actually there. Could it be that Shen Lian was hiding somewhere to observe him?

It felt odd that he could not feel his Supreme Heart Demon Chant.

Outside the yamen and in between the wind and rain, was where the beautiful deity akin to that of the lotus stood. She seemed to be in a different world from the wind and rain as the rain that fell on her disappeared immediately.

Yanxu first saw her, then her sword. The beautiful deity akin to that of a lotus swung her sword lightly, and then there were multiple water strings that appeared from the sword's vibration. It was similar to a tensed bow that was ready to shoot out a thousand arrows.

The tension broke through the air and the vibration would not stop. The sharp tension pierced through the wind and rain and before they dispersed, all the coagulated water strings were already in front of Yanxu.

Yanxu just opened his mouth and revealed his white teeth. He took a light gasp and all the sharp water arrows then entered his mouth and never resurfaced.

He then took a step forward and in the blink of an eye, he went passed the space and pointed his finger in between the Goddess' brows.

The longsword reacted and the tip just stopped in front of Yanxu's finger. Once again the tension exploded and the Goddess was cast into the air.

Yanxu moved and followed suit. A punch landed on her stomach and a white light exploded and went through the wind and rain. A lot of people saw the scene in the sky.

The Goddess of Grains was as weak as a baby in front of the demon.

People were starting to get disappointed and some of them even began to curse. Given the demon said that if the Goddess of Grains admitted defeat, then he would stop the rain and that she should. A lot of them had lost faith in her.

At this moment there came the roll of drums. It was hit at a high point and was full of energy.

A lot of people turned their head towards the temple, and all they could see was the temple attendant hitting the drum.

The drumming beat was long and somber.

While he said nothing, one could easily tell his intention to help boost the vigor of the Goddess of Grains. Qi Sanguang's drumming was not great, but it felt heavy in everyone's heart.

The feeling to not admit defeat in the worst situation was strong enough to influence everyone.

Most people were just staring quietly at the temple attendant beating the drum. It was far from the sky and with the wind and rain, perhaps the Goddess of Grains could not hear it.

The reality in front of them was that the Goddess of Grains was constantly being hit by the demon, and she could not even fall from the sky. She looked like she was in a pinch.

The beautiful deity could only swing the long sword in her hand mindlessly. The sword made a messy trail – after all, she was only a demon who turned into an average deity.

She could not save them.

The last black rope tied her to the city gate.

The roaring drum beats never stopped, but the Goddess of Grains had already been defeated.

”Once you admit defeat, I will stop the rain.”

The deity said nothing and just allowed the black rope to tie her up. Her sword was already gone.

Yanxu stood on top of the city gate as if he had become the conqueror of the world. He did not make a devilish laugh, but he just stood there quietly, above the female deity. The sword will was still there but was never activated.

Yanxu was waiting for the people to lose faith and for the deity's basis to disappear.

The rain was the catalyst.
