Chapter 567 A Falling Ou (2/2)

Immediately Shen Lian laughed, ”Emperor, you have waited for this moment for quite a long time, have you not?”

At this point, Shen Lian was only an avatar. He would not lose his foundation even if he died in this battle. However, Guan Longzi had already set his desire to kill in motion. Furthermore, there was the appearance of Emperor Xia. In the heavens and earth, the emperor will not stop until he has pursued the true body.

Shen Lian had already expected this. After all, when he was determined to enter the Xia Camp, he already anticipated the worst possible outcome.

Sooner or later a falling out would occur. But why that day, out of all days?

It was a pity for Guan Longzi. To make do of the flesh and blood of his mortal body in this supernatural power. Even if the state was made higher, the strength in his heart was not enough. Damage to his body was but a natural consequence.

Faced with the pull of reincarnation bursting forth from the Lamp of Life and Death, Shen Lian let out a laugh and performed the mark of lotus. In his mind, it was as if there was a red sun and a round moon that were simultaneously born. Soon after the scene became a marvel where the sun and moon transformed into a golden crow and a jade rabbit, chasing after each other.

All of a sudden the sun and moon were engulfed by the pull of reincarnation. But there appeared to be a slight halt.

The mudrā gestured by Shen Lian was Buddhism's Mark of the Sun and Moon. The grandeur of the sun and moon could receive and attract all living things, so as not to fall into the karmic cycle. At that point in time, his Primordial Spirit did not actually go in person, and there was a bit of discrepancy, so all that could happen was a standstill.

However, the standstill was what Shen Lian wanted all along. Soon after, it was as if there was a meteor slashing pass the mountaintops in the distance. In fact, it was a godly arrow, perfectly hitting its target – the core of the pull of reincarnation.

It was not known how much more power the Divine Arrow had, to be able to cause an explosion of the pull of reincarnation. At that point in time, Guan Longzi's face went pale and he spat out blood. The Lamp of Life and Death in front of him fell over, and its light gradually dissipated.

The charm that was originally present decreased tremendously. That was probably because the lamp suffered extensive damage.

Because of the explosion of the pull of reincarnation, Shen Lian's Primordial Spirit slowly diminished as well.

Emperor Xia transformed into a giant and so with one step he could reach the place where the arrow was shot.

Shen Lian relied on the void to control the emptiness and threw aside the bow he was holding.

In his Primordial Spirit, there were still remnants of the Sun Extinguishing Arrow's power. That night he will surely be using it all. The Lamp of Life and Death was not fearsome enough a weapon.

However, Emperor Xia would not let him get away with exposing of the true body of the Primordial Spirit.

Emperor Xia said, ”Even if I kill you, he will not be resurrected. But if you remain alive, I will forever bear regrets.”

”Would it not be the case then, that your greatness should kill Guan Longzi? After all, aside from wiping out me and Tianyi, if the Lamp of Life and Death was in your possession, the High Priest might still have a chance to go on living,” Shen Lian chuckled.

Emperor Xia coldly laughed, ”I originally did not want to kill him. I wanted him to know, the peace of this world is dependent on the talking of fists and not the talking of principles. If anyone disobeys, they will be killed until they obey. It is only by doing so that Xia Kingdom will continue its existence for thousands of years to come.”

”Your greatness, you cannot even subdue me. And yet you wish to subdue the whole of the world?” Shen Lian softly replied as the sleeves of his robe floated with the wind.

There was no further comment from the Emperor, only a fist towards the direction of Shen Lian.

Shen Lian immediately transformed into a mass of clear water. Towards and from the dangers of the fist, he floated away and reached the clouds of the Nine Heavens.金乌玉兔 - In Chinese folklore, the golden crow (金乌) represented the sun, while the jade rabbit (玉兔) represented the moon (because of white jade).
