31 Heavenly Dao of the Sword (1/2)

Ye Yuyan sported a bright smile while talking to Nesilia, his graceful and calm demeanor left an indelible mark in Song Yue's mind.

”Follow me.” He said with a smirk as he stepped forward. Nesilia scrambled to follow him as his strides brought him up to the jade steps.

A horrid bloody aura emanated for the temple and streamed down the steps. Nesilia felt her body tremble unwittingly as the bloody aura passed her.

”Can you feel it?” Ye Yuyan asked as he scanned her body.

”Feel what? You staring at my body?” Nesilia grunted out as her body kept trembling.

”Hahaha, no not that.” Ye Yuyan joked as his sonorous voice entered into her ears. Ye Yuyan's eyes grew cold as the liveliness faded from them, all that remained were the cold passionless eyes of a demon.

”That deep-seated primordial fear that seizes your body.” He said in an enchanting whisper that left Nesilia trembling even more. Her body was suddenly seized with spasms as her eyes lost their luster ever so slowly.

”Wh...wh...why can't I stop....shaking?!?” She struggled to stutter out amidst her constant shaking. Her teeth chattered incessantly as if it were freezing outside.

She looked to Ye Yuyan, who stood completely unfazed. His eyes remained calm and cold like always with a hint of excitement passing through them.

From Ye Yuyan's body burst out blood qi that circled around him and Nesilia. Suddenly the bloody aura from the temple dissipated. Nesilia's body stopped shaking but she still felt the remnants of the primordial fear as her face had gone pale and bloodless.

”Why are you not afraid?” Nesilia said in a weak voice as she tried to remove the fear left in her heart.

”I'll show you!” Ye Yuyan said as he stepped onto the first step. The jade steps trembled and a crimson qi shot out, in it were the writhing faces of various humans. They looked to be in great pain as the shot into the skies.

The Red Lotus on Ye Yuyan's glabella glimmered with a blue light and suddenly the blue and crimson lotus leaves overlapped. With the superimposed powers, Ye Yuyan's aura instantly soared reaching the Peak of Rank 3 using his second revolution powers.

The blood qi around Ye Yuyan shot through them dispelling the qi and absorbing the remnant energies getting stronger.

Ye Yuyan stepped on the next step repeating the process, suddenly he sped up and walked up three stairs consecutively. Multiples bursts of blood qi shot out attacking Ye Yuyan, each blood qi was filled with writhing souls that howled in pain.

”Scram!” He roared as the blood qi around him slashed out like a sharp sword. The domineering aura cut apart the blood qi instantly leaving no trace.

Ye Yuyan stepped on the 10th step suddenly activating all the blood qi in the previous steps. All the dissipated blood qi gathered together transforming into a small stream.

”That stream...” Nesilia muttered as she stared at the forming stream. It came down from the top of the stairs hurdling towards Ye Yuyan.

”Red River!” Ye Yuyan roared stirring the red lotus, a crimson light shot out from it forming a sea of blood that threatened to devour the entire temple.

The blood sea engulfed the stream completely devouring, within the stream of weapons appeared hundreds of souls each writhing in pain.

”He...he devoured it!” Nesilia said fearfully, just the stream was enough to threaten her life yet he easily ate it.

After the 10th step, the blood qi stopped sprouting as if it had become completely subservient to Ye Yuyan. Ye Yuyan looked at Nesilia from the 10th step and shouted: ”You can come up now.”

Nesilia looked at the 1st step hesitantly, but ultimately she stepped on it. She soon realized that no blood qi was bursting through. She felt confidence build up inside of her as she took another step then another.

Ye Yuyan proceeded to walk forward as if skipping, no blood qi emerged from his nonchalant steps. Nesilia though probed slowly as she took careful and controlled steps.

But by the time she had reached the 20th step, Ye Yuyan was sitting at the top of the stairs with a childish expression on his face.

'How is he always so calm?' She couldn't help but wonder as she took another step. Seeing Ye Yuyan at the top made her more reckless as she followed his footsteps to the top.
