“What is this tower?” Shen Lian asked suddenly.
In Wu Qingzi’s gaze lies Shen Lian’s cold stare. His eyes were like a mirror, which is supposed to reflect him, but he only saw the ancient tower and a sword.
“The Black and Yellow Tower of Protection.” Wu Qingzi could not help but answer.
Shen Lian replied, “It is a good tower, but it can’t save your life.”
A black and yellow wooden sword appeared in Shen Lian’s hand. His Daoist clothes were elevated, and he took the stepped forward slowly.
The black and yellow wooden sword was made of extraordinary material. It had the buzz of metal, and the clanking sound it made was comparable to the metal strings of a pipa. Shen Lian’s sword will grew deeper, like a grim reaper.
Even when the black and yellow Qi was lowered, like the supreme shield that blocked out the sword will, Wu Qingzi’s Daoist heart which was usually calm still felt cold. ( NovelFull )
He had the black and yellow tower, which he was confident could save him. He was a true disciple, and he believed Shen Lian would take that into consideration and hence would not eliminate him, which could cause Qing Xuan to have a bad relationship with Taishang Daoist sect.
They too had exchanged great conversations and seemed to understand each other. He believed Shen Lian was someone who appreciated old friends.
Every word of the Taishang Detection Technique flowed in his heart. Wu Qingzi’s Daoist heart had the light from the sun and the moon. It swept away all the negative emotions and made him even calmer.
Shen Lian was five steps away from him.
Even a common man could have caused blood spill within five steps, more so for Shen Lian and Wu Qingzi.
Within five steps, Wu Qingzi could immediately activate the supreme mystical art from Taishang Daoist sect. Even if Shen Lian had entered immortality, he could not ignore it.
As long as he continued to keep Shen Lian around, he could then wait till the green bull escaped.
The two of them never spoke again. When Wu Qingzi saw Shen Lian’s cold expression, he thought suddenly, “I must not make the first move.”
As he was under the protection of the black and yellow tower, if he attacked, it would reveal the weakness of the black and yellow Qi which acted as a protection.
He was glad that he could still think properly. The endless Qi from the top of his head was pumped into the Black and Yellow Tower of Protection. The layers and layers of black and yellow Qi were indestructible. Even if Shen Lian possessed the ultimate killing sword, he could not pierce through the protection.
Wu Qingzi was indifferent. Even if today he chose to only defend, he would definitely attack in the future.
Shen Lian looked apathetic. His sword followed the trace of the great way, it was the starting ritual of the Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura. It was not limited to just the starting ritual. Halfway through, the long sword was suddenly swung forward, and the vibration of the tip of the sword was indescribably elegant. It even stunned Wu Qingzi who was underneath the Black and Yellow Tower of Protection.
It was also Wu Qingzi’s last reaction. All of a sudden there was a huge hole in his skull despite the fact that the black and yellow Qi was still protecting him. The killing sword aura came from nowhere and pierced through his skull.
The sharpness of this sword needed no description, but the unpredictability of it was what made it hard to take precautions.
With the aid of Taishang Daoist sect’s powerful defense instrument, the Black and Yellow Tower of Protection, even Wu Qingzi who had a great deal of mana could not take one sword from Qing Xuan’s Zhenren Shen.
It resonated with the rumor that was often circulated, “Anyone beneath the immortal Zhenren is just insignificant dust.”
Until his death, Wu Qingzi did not understand how the sword could pierce through the protection of the Black and Yellow Tower of Protection and attack him directly.
Shen Lian’s sword seemed to break some sort of rule of heaven and earth. An invisible ripple was transmitted through the void to the four corners of heaven and earth. ( NovelFull )
Such swordcraft had already become one with the heaven and earth. Its appearance would shock the four corners.
On top of Mount Zhong, and within the temple, Chen Beidou stood like a lonely peak. He was originally the deity of Mount Zhong, and he was initially a mountain. He spoke of the following words, “The Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura.”
He extended his finger, and a circular screen appeared in the void. Shen Lian’s face could be clearly seen. Chen Beidou’s eyes were deep, without any murderous thoughts, but they had a hint of inexplicable joy.
Shen Lian did not even look at the corpse of Wu Qingzi that was rid of vitality. He too did not express any interest in the Black and Yellow Tower of Protection. He was unsympathetic towards Wu Qingzi’s death, despite the fact they used to befriend over shared personality traits.
Everyone had their own choices, and every consequence was due to their choices, even if it was death.
Qing Xiao who was battling with the beautiful woman in white began to laugh. The beautiful woman was in shock when she realized Shen Lian overcame the green bull and Wu Qingzi.
When she intended to leave, the green fire on Qing Xiao began to burn, and all of a sudden the heaven and earth fell into a deep silence. Everything was frozen.
Even the thought of the beautiful woman in white was frozen. She could only see Qing Xiao who waved her arm and pierced through the middle of her brows with her sword. The green fire then followed the sword and began to burn. Her beautiful skin disappeared, and her flesh and blood too disappeared, along with her gorgeous face. Within the ice, there remained only a cold skeleton. It then disintegrated into ice powder as it crashed.
An illusive shadow attacked Qing Xiao, but it was stopped by the black and yellow wooden sword. It was burning in red, and the shadow was burnt till nothing was left.
The smile on Qing Xiao’s lips did not disappear. She turned slightly transparent as if a wind could blow her away.
Shen Lian knew the supernatural power that froze the beautiful woman in white brought great burden to Qing Xiao. If he was not around, and if the remaining spirit of the beautiful woman in white attempted to kill them, both of them could have died.
Shen Lian felt relieved as he made it in time. If the sword was slightly slower, Qing Xiao would have been killed.
He approached Qing Xiao and he passed on his power of the primordial spirit to Qing Xiao. He thought that after the experience with grandmaster Ziling, the two’s Qi could blend in well and help Qing Xiao recover quickly.
As the power of the primordial spirit entered, it destroyed everything along the way and even swallowed some of Qing Xiao’s remaining power of the primordial spirit. Shen Lian immediately took it back.
Qing Xiao was in worse pain, but she did not say a word. She calmly said, “Stop trying, accompany me up the altar.”
In front of the altar, Qing Xiao began to recite the spells. The heavy Milky Way water curtain then opened up. The two stepped forth towards the altar. After twenty-seven steps, they finally saw the jade tree.
The whole jade tree was about nine inches tall. It had smooth branches and it was translucent. There was a small sword on top of it with water marks.
Qing Xiao said, “Go and take the small sword”
Shen Lian would not doubt Qing Xiao. He approached the jade tree and took down the small sword. After that, the jade tree began to burn with the silvery white blaze, like blooming odd flowers.
As Shen Lian held the small sword, countless messages entered his Daoist heart. He immediately understood that it was the Milky Way Sword Seed. With it, his Milky Way Sword Aura would comparable to those immortal Zhenrens from Tianhe Daozhong.
