Chapter 304 - Jingzhu
The fragrance was poisonous, but Cang Yingzi was not afraid at all.
Because when he was drinking the jar of alcohol, he had already swallowed an elixir. With the alcohol, the effect had already been felt.
Shen Lian observed all these. He knew clearly that these evil doctrines could survive until today because they were smart.
The lady in azure green looked at Cang Yingzi and spoke, "You should go back with me so that you don't have to suffer."
Cang Yingzi laughed madly, "Let's see what ability you have to be able to handle me."
His right arm expanded suddenly and it swung swiftly towards the lady in azure green. A swift current lit the air like a flame knife. It went beyond the distance between the two and reached immediately in front of the lady in azure green.
Nobody would doubt that the power of the fire could burn this beautiful lady to ashes.
Hongyang Order's techniques were the most unbending and the ultimate Yang. To the extreme, the Real Fire of the Sun could be cultivated. There was a senior master of Hong Yangzi who succeeded in producing the Real Fire of the Sun. His every action could evaporate the water of an entire lake. It was also the weakness of cultivators who practiced Yin and the devil arts.
The lady in azure green carried the basket in one hand and her other hand was moving rapidly like she was playing a pipa. It rippled through the void and a current actually restrained the knife-like fire.
The drizzle akin to those in the mountain wrapped up the fire, and silently it had overcome Cang Yingzi's attack.
Cang Yingzi's expression changed. The witch's techniques were indeed powerful. Not to say that he was not in the best condition, even at his best, he probably could not beat her.
There was a reason why Huangji Fo had entrusted her to be the next Daluo Saintess.
While they both were the branches of Luo Order, Huangji Fo and Hong Yangzi were arch enemies. They could not tolerate each other.
He naturally could not fall into the hands of the witch, else his ending would be worse than death.
When we thought about it, Cang Yingzi bowed his body slightly, and then he made a leap towards the lady in azure green, like an eagle soaring in the sky. His entire body was surrounded by red flames. The mana had taken its shape, and he made use of his technique fully. The restaurant could not stand the sudden increase in temperature, and the wood began to char.
All the customers had already escaped, except for Shen Lian, as if he was not aware of the situation. He was still drinking by the lake, looking relaxed.
Cang Yingzi had been through many battles. He knew that in order to escape, he needed to first beat the witch in front of him. He activated Hongyang Order's Technique of the Red Sun in full with no reserve.
The lady in azure green took out a bunch of petals from the flower basket and sprinkled them in the sky. The sky was suddenly filled with petals.
Each of them was soft, and it was falling down from the sky.
All the flower petals fell into the fire Cang Yingzi turned into.
The petals were made of unknown materials and they were not affected at all by Cang Yingzi's Gang Qi shield. They broke through the fire easily like extremely sharp flying knives. They pierced through Cang Yingzi's Daoist robe. The fire was eventually extinguished and he fell hard on to the wooden floor. He lost the ability to fight back.
Hong Yangzi's favorite student, Cang Yingzi lost to the lady in azure green within a few breaths. If people knew about it, it would certainly damage Hongyang Order's reputation and raise Huangji Fo's status.
The lady in azure green beat Cang Yingzi easily, but she did not look pleased. She looked at Shen Lian and spoke, "This friend, which branch of Luo are you from? Our Buddhist Master always appreciates talent. Are you interested in our Huangji Sect?"
"Huangji didn't even achieve Golden Luohan yet and he is already being so arrogant. Isn't he afraid that it will attract misfortune?" Shen Lian's deep eyes fell on the lady in azure green.
That moment, the lady in azure green felt a heavyweight. She tried to activate her mana but she could not escape. She felt like she was running out of breath.
Just by this, the lady in azure green knew Shen Lian's mental cultivation definitely exceeded that of hers.
He said the name of the Buddhist Master like it's nothing. This was not the type of person she could offend.
She thought quickly and then she greeted Shen Lian, "I have bad eyesight. I wasn't aware an elder is here. I've disturbed you from enjoying your drink just now, please allow me to pay my apology with these three cups."
She indeed did as she said. She had no hesitation with the three cups. She took the cup from the table on the side and she went through the three cups quickly.
She then greeted Shen Lian again and was ready to leave with Cang Yingzi.
As Cang Yingzi saw that there was an elder in the restaurant who even the witch was afraid of, he thought he found a savior, and said, "Elder, if you can save my life, my teacher Hong Yangzi will surely thank you with great rewards."
The lady in azure green felt regret as she did not seal Cang Yingzi's mouth. She stared at Cang Yingzi coldly.
Under her stare, Cang Yingzi felt terrified. He turned around and looked at Shen Lian with a pitiful expression.
When he first entered, he grabbed a Daoist immediately and took his blood. Now as he was a loser, he then acted like he deserved the pity. He did not have the Daoist's spirit at all.
The lady in azure green felt he was despicable, and she looked down on him. If not because he was Hong Yangzi's student, she would have just fed him to the dogs.
Shen Lian ignored Cang Yingzi's pleading, but said to the lady in azure green, "Is the flower basket made of the branches of the Bamboo of No Desire, Jingzhu?"
The lady in azure green's expression changed. Her flower basket had special functions. Others could not tell what it was made of. What sort of eyesight did Shen Lian have to be able to tell that it was made of the branches of the Bamboo of No Desire, Jingzhu.
She knew this person was mysterious and had a cultivation experience way exceeding hers. If he said it was the Bamboo of No Desire, he was probably right. She said, "So this flower basket is made of the Bamboo of No Desire. I have little knowledge and this is the first time I've heard of this. If you like it, I don't mind giving it to you, but it is one of my favorite items. It's been with me many years and I find it hard to let it go." She looked at Shen Lian with her delicate eyes.
Shen Lian laughed, "For many years? It's definitely not true. You probably have only obtained it for less than a month. Why should you put the flowers and use Qi of devilry to tame and remove the evidence of the previous owner?"
The lady in azure green said, "Elder, you're joking with me."
Shen Lian said, "I'm not joking with you. Tell me where it's from."
The lady in azure green said, "Elder, you're powerful. Why are you bullying me? If you want it, I will give it to you."
"It seems like you don't understand what this Bamboo of No Desire is. It's not a fortune for you to have it," Shen Lian spoke to the lady in azure green with a mild expression.
"You don't need to be worried about me," the lady in azure green responded.
With a whistle, there were several strong men who came flying. They were carrying a cloud carriage. She flew on top and released a net. After capturing Cang Yingzi, she then disappeared.
