Chapter 349 Hundred Thousand Demon Soldiers (1/2)

Fan Yanying did not know where the demon soldiers came from, but she knew that there must be a powerful demon king behind them for so many to appear.

One had to know that while demon king could shapeshift through external help, it was not unlimited. For this amount of demon soldiers, it was an unimaginable effort. One could imagine how powerful the demon king was.

Shen Lian's voice spoke through her ears, ”Are you scared?”

Fan Yanying looked at Shen Lian as he still leisurely leaned on the wall. His mettle seemed to show that these countless demon soldiers were nothing and they were worth not more than one sight.

She responded, ”With Uncle-Master here, I am not afraid.”

Fang Yanying finally calmed down. In the past, she had seen countless demons with her Honored Master. Regardless of the number, they all died under the sword of the Honored Master.

This time around there were more demons, but how could an ant shake a big tree?

The Uncle-Master was the rare big tree on heaven and earth.

Shen Lian's eyes seemed to contain the clear lights of the stars. Even if the black clouds covered the morning light and caused the Temple of Killings to fall into darkness, the clear light of his eyes continued to flow. It made people feel that the world would never fall into complete darkness.

His voice once again rang through Fang Yanying's ears, like the breeze at night, ”Yanying, there are countless woods on the mountain. Are you afraid of them?”

Fan Yanying replied, ”No.”

”Why not?”

She was speechless. She could not say the reason why.

Shen Lian spoke softly, ”It is because the woods can't hurt you. That's why you're not afraid. You assumed that these demon soldiers can hurt you, but as I am here, you know they can't, and hence you're not afraid anymore. The fear you feel stems from the difference in the weak and the powerful. For us cultivators, we are fighting against the heaven, and how can we be stronger than the heaven? If the heaven is strong and we are weak, should you be afraid?”

Fan Yanying was confused, no one had ever told her such principles.

Shen Lian continued, ”The wise once said, 'Where justice stands, despite the hundred thousand people in my way, I will walk the path.' It is the same for cultivators, 'Where Dao is, despite the hundred thousand in my way, I will still walk towards it.'”

Fan Yanying understood all of a sudden, Dao was too, a form of persistence. Her Dao was not the swordcraft. It was not the heaven and earth. the river and mountain, or the wind and thunder or water and fire - they were just the surface.

The Dao pursued by cultivators was like a great way, none of it could be destroyed.

With such indestructible Dao, they could be fearless, and hence they could face everything with ease.

She could finally understand why the Honored Master could react the same way against any enemy, with his killing sword.

She too understood the attitude of Uncle-Master who seemed to be calm even if the sky was falling down.

They had their own Dao, and hence regardless of what happened to the world, it could not cause any tremble to their hearts.

Perhaps Shen Lian and Chen Jianmei were not as she imagined them to be, but she firmly believed that it was her, Fang Yanying's Dao. Independent but unwavering, circulating but indestructible - so this was Dao.

The suppressing aura brought by the demon soldiers were gone entirely.

The clouds began to separate, a man and a woman appeared in the sky on top of the Temple of Killings. The demon soldiers were all behind them, like their decorations.

The man was dressed in white, whiter than snow. His hands were folded and he stared at Shen Lian with deep eyes.

The woman wore a plain blue dress. Even if a heavenly lady was dressed in rainbow clothes, it could not suppress how divine she looked. At the corner of her lips, there was a red spot. It did not affect her shocking beauty but enhanced her charm.

The woman spoke to Shen Lian on the ground, ”We are following the order of our Divine Master, to send ten thousand demon soldiers for Zhenren Shen kill, in order to breed Zhenren's the murderous thoughts.”

Shen Lian needed not to ask to know the Divine Master was Chen Beidou. He was indeed someone heartless, as the lives of ten thousand demon soldiers to him were only worth as much as to help Shen Lian breed murderous thoughts.

This also allowed Shen Lian to spot a point that the person seemed to be interested in him. After killing ten thousand demon soldiers, Shen Lian's sword will would grow to a terrifying state. It could bring his battle power to a new level, but it was not what Shen Lian was looking for.
