Chapter 269 The Trapping of Celestial Virtual Shadow (1/2)

The dragon-shaped Qi was closing into Shen Lian at unimaginable speed; it was ready to destruct Shen Lian, and the air was nothing more than a piece of paper for it to tear across.

At that moment, all of the Taisu disciples held their breath. In fact, they felt sorry for Shen Lian – what a waste of talent!

Unless the person had a grudge against Shen Lian, no one could bear to see someone as charming as Shen Lian disappear from the world.

As for Shen Lian, time seemed to be passing painstakingly slow. His heart was clear, and he could feel the external space boundaries being shattered layer by layer. It was alternating between fast and slow speed, but the Qi strength that shattered through the air could clearly be felt in his heart.

The nameless deity finally showed its true face in the moment of life and death. This was the first time Shen Lian managed to see his appearance. He had the appearance of a twenty-year-old. Though, unlike Shen Lian's gentle physical appearance, the deity looked handsome and strong. However, his eyes gave off the vibes of annihilation. The vibes were neutralized by the peacefulness emitted by the jade Ruyi he held in his hand.

Shen Lian noticed that he was holding a string of beads in his other hand. Though, Shen Lian could not see it clearly as the edges of the deity was still blurry.

As though it heard Shen Lian's summon, the Trapping of Celestial Sword Aura buried deep in his spirit appeared in his heart. The sword gleam painted his heart red, and the killing vibes were so strong that it triumphed over the sea of blood in the Nine Underworlds that he saw in Grandmaster Yuanqing's memories.

When the dragon-shaped Qi finally reached Shen Lian, the virtual shadow of a sword hung above quietly.

The body of the sword was blood-red, and the red light filled the world immediately.

The red light reached every single spot in the area, and even the old woman was shocked. ”Congenital Killing Sword,” she yelped.

Even though it was merely a virtual shadow, but its breath was constantly impacting her mind and spirit. She felt fear welling up from the bottom of her heart. Within the blood light, it was as though countless demons and deities were roaring and shivering. As if since time immemorial, there were plenty of strong people like her who had fallen under its power.

The sword gleam was not powerful enough to destroy the world, but the impact that it had on her heart and soul was more intense than its actual power. This was the first time that she felt so frightened ever since she had attained Dao.

At the same time, all seven of Shen Lian's orifices points were bleeding, and the color seemed whitish-silver.

The fresh blood that flowed out of him was the essence of his Qi and blood, which was why it was in the color of mercury. This was not strange at all. When an advanced cultivator of Qi had attained Dan Dao, his physical mortal body would start to undergo changes, and his body structure would evolve towards that of a Celestial.

In the words of Daoist scriptures on the cultivation of Qi, this would be ”Qi and blood akin to Dan Gong, Baodan and become whole”.

These previous Qi and blood were forced out from Shen Lian acupoints after he his body was made to withstand pressure beyond its limits.

He did not let the Qi and blood go to waste. He set them on fire the moment they appeared, and he instilled them into the virtual shadow of Trapping of Celestial Sword. The attack was then directed at the old woman. Shadows swept past and disappeared from Taisu Chamber.

The virtual shadow from the Trapping of Celestial Sword emitted thousands of blood-red sword gleams and the old woman was buried within it. At the same time, the experts of Taisu Sect were deterred from making a move. After ten over breaths, the disciples of Taisu Sect saw the Elder's sleeves were turned into shattered butterflies. As it fell from the sky, there were a few visible sword's marks on the dragon-headed crutch.

She was overcome by anger and could not say a word. She was frightened and angered. At the same time, she knew that it was all part of an act and the move was not a fatal one. She immediately turned into light and chased after him. However, when she exited the mountain gate and tried to extrapolate Shen Lian's whereabouts, she could not find anything. This was the power of Shen Lian's Tongtian Skill. It was impossible for even an immortal Zhenren to predict his whereabouts from the designs of nature.

She returned back into the sect and found Fairy Tianmeng consoling the disciples with great composure.

She was slightly annoyed at how calm Fairy Tianmeng was, seeing how she was the one who started the entire thing.
