Chapter 425 Flood Dragon (1/2)
The garden was quiet and empty, the moon hung high in the sky.
Yanxu appeared out of thin air in an area with a small bridge and flowing water. He stood alone at the end of the bridge. His sleeves fluttered in the wind. Not far away, Fairy Tianmeng was holding a sword and staring at him with mixed emotions - her gaze was vicious and loving at the same time.
This was inside of Tai Su Chamber, the base of Fairy Tianmeng. The Three Elders of Taisu were at the mountain right behind the chamber. Though, Yanxu was not worried about being discovered by the Three Elders of Taisu at all.
He stared at the flowing water and the reflection of the moon. The shape of the moon was constantly shifting as the water flowed, as though there were tens of thousands of mirrors, and within each, a different sight could be seen.
Especially in his eyes, each moon contained the face of a person - someone who was either directly or indirectly killed by him. These illusions could be said to be real, as they were the resentful thoughts left behind by the ones he killed. They trailed after him and hated him immensely.
However, he was not bothered by it at all. In fact, he found them interesting. After all, these people wanted to get revenge on him but were unable to - how amusing indeed!
Suddenly, he heard a sound besides that of the flowing water. It was 'Huanzhen', and young brat Shen. Lately, his Sky Demon method had reached an unimaginable state. In the human realm, he was the true Master of Sky Demon. When someone talked about him, he could feel it, what more Huanzhen, someone whom he had planted the demonic seed on.
Young brat Shen too had peeped on him once tonight. This young brat was probably the most interesting person that he had ever met, even Yanxu was tempted to befriend him.
At the same time, the likeliest person to destroy him was young brat Shen. Indeed, he was the most disturbing genius that Yanxu had ever come across in his entire life. He was also equipped with immeasurable wisdom and strong resolve.
Yanxu was unable to listen to their conversation clearly. He was deterred by the starlight emitted by Shen Lian. Moreover, Huanzhen carried an Imperial Seal with him, which suppressed his Sky Demon method.
Although it was clear that these two meant him harm. Yanxu was surprised by how Huanzhen carried his demonic seed, and yet he was able to maintain an independent mind. Even though he knew that it was because of the Imperial Seal, he was still slightly surprised.
However, he was not angered. If anything, he found it intriguing - how boring would life be without some good challenges! If life was that boring, he might even consider killing himself.
As he was peeping on them, Shen Lian was just telling Huanzhen about how ”It is hard to deal with him, which is why I am here to see you now. I need to find out something about him through you.”
Even with the distance between them, Shen Lian seemed to have seen Yanxu. He smiled and waved at him.
Yanxu smiled in return. This was the second time that they were greeting each other.
The next moment, his expression changed. Thunders could be heard within his bier.
Everything seemed normal in Tai Su Chamber. Even the moon looked clear and brilliant. However, Fairy Tianmeng felt an unusual aura which irritated her.
He saw the blue light emitting from Yanxu. That was the light of lightning.
When you hear the sound of thunder, the lightning would have already struck. Lightning traveled as fast as light, and no one who was in the material realm could travel faster than light.
However, the Thunder Technique Yanxu faced with came from within.
Yanxu finally realized how skilled Shen Lian was. Shen Lian made use of the demonic seed that he had planted and delivered the power of the Thunder Technique through it.
Moreover, the Thunder Technique was the most powerful technique of them all, and it was a natural inhibitor of the Sky Demon.
