Chapter 283 Left in The Evening, Returned During The Fifth Period Of The Nigh (1/2)

All of a sudden, a golden light overflowed and lit up half of the skies while dimming the Milky Way at the same time. Even the bright moon lost its shine. Within that golden light, there was a vast and majestic female deity clad in a dragon robe with an imperial crown on her head, in her hand was an imperial seal. She suddenly appeared in midair.

The never-ending golden light came from the imperial seal in her hands.

The incoming figure was naturally the Empress. Now, she was the God of the Qingshui River. It could also be said that she was half a Dragon King.

The Dragon King was different than a real dragon. It receives instructions from the heavens and it controls the great rivers. It receives the consecrate of prayers from the valley that spans thirty thousand miles and its mana was close to limitless.

Of course, once the Dragon King was further away from his river area, his mana would weaken as it was harder to get the force from prayers.

Also, the Dragon King would lose the support of the spiritual force of the Qingshui River once it left the river area. It would not be as formidable as celestials and Buddha and even by leaving the river area, there was a risk of dying.

Guangfa did not expect that this new river god would undertake this matter so fearlessly and vigorously on behalf of Shen Lian. It was even hard to predict that the river god would come this quickly. Furthermore, he did not even detect anything at all when Shen Lian informed the river god to arrive.

One miscalculation turned into many miscalculations.

He had compared Shen Lian against his own self, so he clearly could not understand this friendship where one could trust another with one's own life and death.

The Empress was as though a representation of the bright heavens. Her eyes were indifferent and merciless as she quietly stood in midair. There was a monstrous force that swept down and circled Guangda.

Guangfa calmed down during this moment on the contrary. He converged his thoughts, his hands started nipping out formula while his mouth recited chants. Suddenly, a black cloud appeared in the sky and a streak of lightly descended from it and brutally cleaved towards the Empress.

This was the 'Yuxiao Deity Thunder Incantation'. It was considered a superb technique amongst other thunder techniques.

But when the lightning ray struck on the golden light, nothing happened. When in contrary, the golden light from the imperial seal glowed even more and absorbed the lightning ray.

In the end, the imperial seal continuously expanded and flew to the sky until it reached the top of Guangfa's head. It vehemently landed.

It seemed like it wanted to subdue Daoist Guangfa so that he could not turn over a new leaf for a very long time.

Shen Lian swung his sword with both his hands, the endless Qi of heaven and earth condensed and the mana in his entire body boiled. Anomalies of the wind, thunder, water, and fire flashed before one another consecutively and it finally condensed into an earthshaking sword gleam. The unmatched sharpness of the sword will was remotely locked on Guangfa.

The two peerless powerhouses were enough to cause the mountain to crumble and the earth to break when they made their moves. They also caused the lake water of this area to dry up.

The imperial seal in the sky above had the aura to subdue all living beings. Not far away was Shen Lian's peerless sword gleam that was enough to split the mountains open and to crush Guangfa's Daoist body.

He had almost fallen into a hopeless state of absolute death.

Initially, when the imperial seal vehemently came crashing down, there was the Qi of Xuanqing that transformed into a High Cloud to support the imperial seal.

But Shen Lian's unmatched sword will attack his mind and spirit.

The confrontation of the spirit was much dangerous than the subduing of the imperial seal.

He conjured up his mana to fight against the imperial seal. He also needed to divide his mind and spirit to fight against Shen Lian's supreme Heart of Sword technique. Furthermore, he did not know when the sword gleam that was condensed by Shen Lian would be shot.

He did not even have the chance to pull himself out as he waited for that deracinating blow.

Because he would only have that chance when the other's momentum had come down from its peak.

Under these circumstances, the imperial seal came crashing down inch by inch, causing the High Cloud above Guangfa to disappear inch by inch, collapsing like the cumulus clouds.

It was also wearing out his mana wisp by wisp, causing him to gradually lose the ability to fight back.

Both of Guangfa's eyes were bloodshot, as the essence and blood of his body boiled. His mouth was mumbling as his vigor continuously evaporated, supplying him with formidable mana. The High Cloud made from the Qi of Xuanqing gradually had the color of blood appearing and it strengthened back to its original state. The Shifting Flood Dragon Pole landed underneath his foot and transformed into a silver lotus with three petals. It supported him.

At the same time, uncountable silver streaks circulated and guarded Guangfa.

However, his facial complexion turned from red to white. The silver streaks of the silver lotus gradually dispelled under the pressure of the imperial seal, the Renwang Imperial Seal.

During this moment, there was a melodious singing that rang in the sky:

”The bright moon by the side of the clear pond, the green willow and the peach blossom by the shore.

It had a certain clean taste, there were a few floating red clouds high up in the air.”

”Zhenren Shen, please have mercy. Daoist Mu Zhenzi is here to greet you.”

The singing stopped and far away in the skies, there was a break of the dawn light. A white cloud leisurely approach and there were two people on top of it. One of them was the incarnation of Yanxu, Qingwei. He was looking at Shen Lian with mirth.

Another person had a kerchief on his head and his Dao robes were wide. His sleeves fluttered and he wore a pair of straw sandals and held a bamboo stick in his hand. He certainly has the manner of a celestial.

It was the other pupil of Guangfa's master, Mu Zhenzi.

Shen Lian hummed silently and the condensed sword gleam viciously attacked Guangfa. At the same time, he spilled out a thunder rune and the sky full of lightning rays to block Mu Zhenzi's way.

The lightning cracked and flashed, separating the sky. Following that, the Empress and Shen Lian vanished without a trace.

When Shen Lian saw Yanxu appeared, he already knew that things were going to be impossible. He was decisive and did not drag on, he telepathically told the Empress to retreat with him.

The sword gleam was very formidable as it directly broke through the silver streaks that surrounded Guangfa.
