Chapter 399 Demonic God (1/2)
Shen Lian's fire could burn down plants, crack rocks as tough as steel, and boil the endless flowing river water dry. However, it could not cause any damage to the bodies of the Vajra Jiedi.
There were also born from flesh but it happened to be that they were tough, close to being indestructible.
Shen Lian could deeply feel that the sixteen Vajra Jiedis were that way because of the abnormalities of their body structure, and each of them had an unspeakable Dao rhythm, which was the 'Vajra'. As the saying goes, 'Those that could not be destroyed was the ultimate resistance, and those that could not be replaced was the ultimate Dao.'
This was the ultimate 'Dao' of the gold element, it was also the 'Dao' of the mortal world derived from forging through brambles and thorns. Unfortunately, the master of these Vajra Jiedis did not have a profound understanding of the essence of this strength. He only had its power but not its technique and its usage.
It was as if someone owning a modern thermal weapon but they still used it for a hand-to-hand combat which they only benefited slightly from the solid material.
In Shen Lian's eyes, this so-called Vajra Exorcism Formation was riddled with loopholes.
In the Golden Wheel King's eyes, the flames that were thrown out by Shen Lian gradually extinguished under the might of the Vajra Jiedis. The space where Shen Lian could evade and hide was getting smaller and smaller. However, as long as he did not let go, he could crush this Daoist from the east into dust.
There was a cool smile hanging at the corners of his lips. If this Daoist was that stubborn, he would nail him to death. His soul would forever be silenced within the yellow dirt, just like the previous scholar, there would be no chance of starting over again.
The pleasant sensation of unleashing the power made him felt like he was the center of the universe. By just one thought, these Vajra Jiedis could help him crush every obstacle and he could look at all the beings disdainfully from the corner of his eyes.
However, Shen Lian felt that these Vajra Jiedis were more like a laughing stock, clumsy and laughable. He strolled in midair as he leisurely said, ”What is Vajra? Those that cannot be truncated, that is why it is called Vajra; its Dao cannot be assessed, its Dharma also cannot be assessed, this is what it meant as Vajra.”
All of the flames extinguished at the same time. Each of Shen Lian's step was like walking on a lotus flower. However, as he was reciting, his hand shot out and ripped through a Vajra Jiedi's heart effortlessly. Countless golden dust sprinkled out, forming a tadpole-like rune.
Shen Lian did not stop. He took another step and did the same thing. He crushed another Vajra Jiedi's heart.
Within a moment's notice, he had undoubtedly ripped through each of the sixteen Vajra Jiedi's heart. The air was filled with runes made of golden dust. It finally converged, forming a nine-level staircase. Shen Lian got on top of it in midair and as his feet landed on the staircase, he was staring at the Golden Wheel King on an equal level.
There was disbelief in the Golden Wheel King's eyes. During the moment when all of the Vajra's bodies perished, his entire body suddenly shot up and then, came crashing down. Suddenly, a pair of bloody eyes shot out a ray of light towards Shen Lian.
It was mysterious and fearful. It was a secretive power that came from the darkest corner of the universe. It had the similar speed of a traveling light and it pierced through the palm of Shen Lian's right hand.
The eyes then slowly shut. At the split moment when his right hand was pierced through by this mysterious power, he stepped to a side and a five-colored sword gleam embedded into it before the eyes were shut entirely. It was as though two different worlds were linked up and it caused a vortex in the void with numerous lightning beginning to spark.
By the time Fang Yanying made it, she only saw a bald udumbara with a charred body. There were no leaves neither were their fruits. Her uncle-master was under the tree with his arms clasped behind his back. His facial expression was a little unnatural as he said, ”Do not come over.”
Fang Yanying asked, ”Uncle-master, what happened to you?”
And then, she saw her uncle-master suddenly extending his hand and a blurred shadow flitted before her very eyes. It was only by a thin line before it could spread to her. There was a neat, deep trench on the floor.
In actual fact, she was not clear that if it had not been for the udumbara, the entire imperial city of the Jinji Country would become a dead city from that turbulence caused by the chaos just now.
Shen Lian's left hand vehemently held his right hand. There was a hole in the middle of his right hand, his once jade-like translucent skin had become pitch black.
