Chapter 534 The Wind and Rain above Lake Eas (2/2)

Wuding unknowingly squinted as the Qi of Chilliness in front of him was too exasperating.

Lei Jing's summoning of wind and rain was not simply the harnessing of power from the wind and rain to kill unprepared opponents. With Shen Lian's improvements, the technique harnessed the true meaning of wind and rain from the heavens and earth, applicable in many situations.

Shen Lian observed everything from afar. The Qi of Vitality from the Netherworld was thicker than all the earth and stars of Qing Xuan but it was inclined to darkness and so was not very dynamic. Even if the mana was of the same state, its appearance in the outside world is different and both worlds would have a great discrepancy between them.

What Lei Jing did just now would be enough to cause the Qi of the heaven and earth to move about like the rolling tide had it been done in the earth and stars of Qing Xuan. It was even enough to tear open the void slightly.

And at that time, space in the Netherworld froze. It bore the full weight of Lei Jing's mana.

Faced with the omnipresent leaf shreds, Wuding still did not move. Instead, he let himself be bombarded and his figure subsequently shattered.

This type of shattering was akin to the shattering of a mirror but in reality, there was not a scratch on him.

Wuding vanished right before Lei Jing was about to commence her first attack.

Lei Jing appeared from the void and the flowing Qi present in the surroundings whirled and centered around her, forming a wall made out of wind and rain. With a pull of knife light that struck the wall of wind and rain, the whirl was removed using a whirling power. Immediately after the wind and rain erupted and extended all around, Wuding appeared.

On the other side, Wen Zhong rode his black Qilin and appeared next to Shen Lian. He chuckled and said, ”Childish techniques they used. How boring it is.”

Shen Lian replied, ”Brother Wen, it seems you have no concern over whether Wuding is capable of winning.”

”Zi Zhao is destined to become the king. Winning and losing are the tastes that he must savor in order to become a complete person.” Wen Zhong showed his true colors.

Shen Lian said plainly, ”Brother Wen, I beg to differ. No one can stipulate this to be the measure of true completeness in one's life.”

Wen Zhong replied, ”This is the difference between you and me, national advisor. Only time can tell which one of us is correct.”

The black Qilin let out a low grunt and clouds formed below his feet, bringing Wen Zhong away. He headed east, towards the direction of Dongyi. From the looks of it, Wen Zhong had no intention of staying until the fight was over to inform the public.

Shen Lian knew that they will meet again for there was still an unsettled karma between Wen Zhong and himself.

On the Lake East, Lei Jing was already floating on the surface of the lake. She took over the terrain and boundless lake water was hers for the taking. The sky was laden with strong winds and heavy rain. Wuding could not hide. He could only struggle bitterly.

In this wind and rain, his knife technique sharpened. Each movement of the knife sliced a piece of wind and rain but Lei Jing persisted with her technique. Throughout the ordeal, Wuding could not get close to her.

If everything continued like this, it would only be natural that Wuding would struggle to get a win.

But in the storm, with his white clothes moving with the wind, his calm and leisurely qualities made the spectators feel as though Wuding had the battle in the palm of his hands.

Even if Lei Jing was already resembling her Master, she had no way of erasing the idea in other people's minds that Wuding was poised for victory.渊渟岳峙 - refers to a person with a noble moral character as in, having moral character as deep as the waters (渊渟) and as tall as a mountain (岳峙)公子 - can be both male and female, it was used to address the children of the feudal princes or dukes under the emperor.麒麟 - a mythical hooved chimerical creature variously depicted as having the body of a deer or ox or horse, with hooves, scales, and antlers, known in Chinese and other East Asian cultures, said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler; Buddhist influences depicted them as divine and peaceful, walking upon clouds and water because they do not want to harm the grass by walking on it; although sometimes referred to as Unicorns, this cannot be considered an accurate depiction
