Chapter 431 Making a Choice (1/2)

The sound of Zhang Ruoxu chopping the stone bamboo combined with the voiceless sound that came from a faraway time and space caused Yanxu's always unrestrained soul to become slightly heavy, as though it was being tangled up in a shapeless rope.

The dark clouds in the outside world dispersed and the steady stream of celestial armies was no longer there. Yuming finally felt a thread of hope to retaliate. Now, Huanzhen's injuries had already recovered a lot and both master and disciple looked at each other. Even though they did not know where this wisp of voiceless sound came from, but it did shake Yanxu's Sky Demon Heart. They would definitely grasp this thin line of chance.

Both green and yellow pairs of Huanzhen's flesh wings slightly contracted and it then expended with a bang. Two streaks of hurricanes engulfed everything in its surrounding in a split second. Innumerable celestial armies were torn within these hurricanes and they finally went up in smokes.

Finally, both master and disciple looked at each other and they began to brew each of their own strongest blow.

It seemed like the thick layers of dark clouds was being stirred apart by that wisp of voiceless sound that came from faraway. Yanxu was sitting in a lotus position on a dark cloud, his eyes were shut.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Yanxu now was very irritated. He always had moments where he was irritated but this was not the same as before. This was because Zhang Ruoxu was truly one part that he did not wish to recall.

After all, he was the one that caused Qing Xuan to be in that bad spot. Zhang Ruoxu too did not really had any true resentment towards him. Even until Zhang Ruoxu passed away, Yanxu could feel that Zhang Ruoxu did not have any obsessions entangling him.

Zhang Ruoxu did what a chief was supposed to do and no one did it better than he did. To Qing Xuan, he was the one who, like the person who saved a gigantic building from collapsing at the last critical moment, had reversed an overwhelmingly adverse situation. There was no predicament that could strike him down or had him complaining. Even Yanxu still clearly know that Zhang Ruoxu had actually thought that the incident back then happened because he did not manage him well.

It was exactly because of this temperament that Yanxu could not find any reason to hurt Zhang Ruoxu. Nonetheless, in the end, Zhang Ruoxu died because of him.

He was cold and merciless but when he faced this memory in the deepest corner of his mind, the obstruction-free Sky Demon Heart was finally a little slow.

Back then, Yanxu had always thought the person he felt the most regret in his life was Biyun. It was not until the voiceless sound that was played by Shen Lian that stirred his inner mind that he realized that he was wrong. He could see past the love and hatred but when it came to dealing with people like Yanxu, even though he had all kinds of disdain for him, how could it not be said that he also yearned to be the kind of person that he was from the beginning?

Life was full of change and those who could persist without changing were probably conservative or would have been eliminated by the general trend of the universe. However, they would also have won respect.

Zhang Ruoxu could not have Yanxu to go on the right path and that was why he cultivated Shen Lian. This same person who yearned for freedom and also had matchless talents. Shen Lian did not discard his humanity after elevating his strength and state and he still had the kind side in his nature. Shen Lian also had been quietly influenced by Zhang Ruoxu.

From the moment the voiceless sound infiltrated Yanxu's spirit sea in his mind, he already knew that today was his trial.

The trial was not external, neither was it internal, but it was on his conscience.

The sky demon did not have any conscience, therefore it could not be totally obliterated; the human, however, does have a conscience and that was why they could find their true self and attained celestialism or Buddhism.

Shen Lian laid down this trial with the voiceless sound and this trial was to make Yanxu make a voice. Either he had lost his own self and become a demon entirely, or he had seen the error in his ways and repent and become a celestial right on the spot.

Yanxu was a person who did not like to make choices. He was truly someone who thought about something and would do it. He was who defied every law and regulation and therefore, he was unrestrained. As long as there were choices, Yanxu was no longer that Yanxu. For Shen Lian to elicit this trial of Dao was truly ingenious.

Zhang Ruoxu finally caused the chopped stone bamboo in front of him to fall. He wiped his sweat off and turned his head back towards Yanxu, who was sitting on the bamboo, and said, ”Junior Apprentice-Brother, today's task is finished. We can return now.”

After he said that, Yanxu shifted from the top of the bamboos to the front of Zhang Ruoxu. With a faint smile, he said, ”There is still one task that is not completed yet, we cannot go.”

Zhang Ruoxu was stunned as he asked, ”What is it?”

Yanxu pointed towards his left chest and quietly said, ”I need to trouble Senior Apprentice-Brother to hack this place of mine open, and see if there is a heart inside my chest.”
