Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao
Chapter 1567 - 90: Battle with Bi Shui
Jiang Yuning, Mu Qingyan, and Gu Xi immediately looked towards the shimmering Reincarnation Ancient Land.
It was a projection, but it was a projection of the deepest core of the Reincarnation Ancient Land, a pivotal area of the Silent Annihilation Battlefield.
Zhou Yan spoke like this to truly announce to all fighting Holy Spirits that he, Zhou Yan, has returned.
He told all the Holy Spirits there’s hope in this battle.
After Zhou Yan arranged to duel with Bi Shui Fairy, his figure directly entered the endless and complex changes within the Singularity, completely vanishing.
Hou Chen followed him but was blocked outside by the endless Singularity and could not enter.
The endless Singularity scattered like black particles the moment Hou Chen approached, appearing slow but actually immeasurably fast.
Hou Chen stared at the Void now empty before him, his gaze grew melancholic, his heart heavy and desolate.
Although his father had awakened, even completed the final transformation, although this last path seemed truly successful, why was there always a sense of desolate inevitability?
It seemed like once gone, it would be truly eternal...
Hou Chen stood dazed for a long time, unable to decide his next move.
With his ability, though powerful, he was completely no match for Bi Shui Fairy. His potential fully exploded, not defeating her, she fused even more completely, thus her combat power became even more overwhelming.
Now, his Realm and strength were mediocre, caught in a very helpless state.
Not only him, but Gu Xi and Mu Qingyan’s Realms were about the same.
Aside from waiting, seemingly, there’s no other path to take.
...
After Zhou Yan passed through the endless Void, he did not arrive at the Reincarnation Ancient Land but at the ancient Holy Spirit Heavenly Pond.
This was originally the birthplace of Hou Chen, a portion within the bounds of the Emperor Soul Clan, an ancient Holy Spirit territory.
Everything here was tranquil, no Holy Spirit guarded this place from the Emperor Soul Clan.
When Zhou Yan arrived, the Holy Spirit of the Emperor Soul Clan sensed it but did not show up.
Zhou Yan stood silently alone at the summit of the Heavenly Pond, silently gazing at the now withered and somewhat dried-up surface, lost in complex thoughts.
Many lost memories came back, but that was not a good thing, because along with them came heavy pasts and insupportable burdens.
When those memories were unknown, no matter how immense the pressure, it was invisible pressure, but when these memories all came, the consequences were known, then this was visible pressure.
Visible pressure was far more unimaginable and heavier than invisible pressure.
Zhou Yan stood alone at the top of the Heavenly Pond for a long time, as if recalling something, or as if in remembrance.
Suddenly, Heaven and Earth became darker, and then a beautiful woman enveloped entirely in a black robe appeared on the other side of the Heavenly Pond.
Zhou Yan seemed to sense her arrival, thus his expression showed no surprise.
The woman too was the same, her expression indifferent and cold; although not wearing a mask, her features seemed unclear and indistinguishable.
Zhou Yan did not insist on seeing her features because he knew who she was whether he looked or not.
But reaching this point between them left one with deep sighs.
Once, the original true love, the original pursuit had now reached the point of hostility.
Zhou Yan believed if Bi Shui Fairy were awake, she certainly wouldn’t wish for such a battle; but now Bi Shui Fairy is no longer Bi Shui Fairy, this battle is inevitable.
Because Bi Shui Fairy controlled the channel to the core gate of the Silent Annihilation Battlefield, without defeating her it’s impossible to step into that final battlefield.
Zhou Yan lifted his head, calmly looked towards Bi Shui Fairy. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Bi Shui Fairy also looked towards Zhou Yan, their eyes meeting in the Void, yet both pairs of eyes held no emotion.
Even if Zhou Yan had emotion, he did not show it.
Bi Shui Fairy was the opposite; she had no emotion and showed no emotion either, her eyes were pale, indifferent, and dark.
In them were only madness, slaughter, evil spirit, and destruction.
Zhou Yan felt unspeakable sadness seeing those eyes, but he represented more than just himself now, so he silently stood there without moving first.
Bi Shui Fairy hesitated for a moment, as if she had something to deal with, her face began to clarify from its original blur.
She did not conceal her appearance, allowing Zhou Yan to clearly see her current visage.
She remained so beautiful, so captivating, that even seeing her again moved Zhou Yan’s heart, giving rise to an inescapable feeling of deep love.
This love was not shallower than that for Mu Qingyan, Jiang Yuning, Feng Zishuang, because in Zhou Yan’s restored memory, almost all emotions were poured onto Bi Shui Fairy.
If that portion of feelings is not extracted, later plans with Hong Jun Ancestor to seize Bi Shui Fairy could not be executed, and certain things could not proceed normally.
Thus, when the unattained memories overlapped with the current ones, Zhou Yan knew that he truly... found it difficult to let go of this sentiment.
Consequently, at this moment, Bi Shui Fairy suddenly revealed her appearance, regardless of her intentions, this move indeed impacted Zhou Yan’s state of mind.
Zhou Yan is not a heartless person; having lived this life was destined from the start, and thus this is certainly Zhou Yan’s flaw.
Even though he now possesses fourteen King’s Marks, perhaps in the eyes of Evil Emperor and Evil Empress, Zhou Yan still has a fatal flaw.
Just like now, with Bi Shui Fairy manifesting that haggard and pale face, what is it for?
It’s simply to deliver a blow to Zhou Yan’s spirit, causing him to be unable to fight at full strength.
It’s the simplest, yet surely effective method.
Zhou Yan knows this, yet will not change because of it.
Bi Shui Fairy had become much thinner, so frail that a gust of wind might knock her over, that fragile body and the beautiful familiar curves still remain, yet carrying a kind of tragic sorrow.
Zhou Yan’s heart was somewhat struck, when a beloved lover is desperately tragic in front of oneself, anyone with feelings would never ignore this.
Not to mention, at this moment Bi Shui Fairy wasn’t replaced by anyone else; it was truly Bi Shui Fairy.
Zhou Yan sighed softly and said, "Why bother?"
"Turn back. I know, I know you still have independence. Turn back. No matter what, my love for you remains unchanged and is as deep as ever!"
Zhou Yan spoke gently.
At that moment, the cold, solitary, and proud aura surrounding him seemed to transform entirely into gentle affection, his gaze full of tenderness.
Yet, Bi Shui Fairy showed no reaction to Zhou Yan’s display; instead, suddenly she flew forward, her gaze chillingly fixed on Zhou Yan, suddenly opening her mouth wide.
From her mouth, she promptly spat out a half-foot-long jade long sword, this type of sword, Zhou Yan is very familiar with, for the jade short sword was almost identical, only the aura it emitted was somewhat different.
And the power of that jade short sword, Zhou Yan had known for a long time, now with recovered memories, Zhou Yan further knew this was truly a Holy Spirit Heavy Weapon, indeed surpassing the Immortal Weapon, King’s Weapon.
Such a weapon appearing was already a sign of life-and-death struggle.
Zhou Yan’s eyes darkened, his sharp gaze suddenly becoming extremely dim, a mix of disappointment, a wordless sigh, and melancholy.
Because this battle was inevitably going to occur.
At this moment, that half-foot-long jade short sword suddenly transformed into a silver gleam, abruptly aiming at Zhou Yan’s brow, during such speed, jade short sword as if transforming into King’s Marks, like chains of Order, unleashed the immortal King’s Will.
This attack, Zhou Yan couldn’t withstand because Zhou Yan had not mastered the Evil Spirit Inheritance.
Or rather, Zhou Yan knew how to initiate the Evil Spirit Inheritance, but hadn’t directly learned it.
Zhou Yan’s figure kept twisting, dodging this deadly strike, while his figure like lightning suddenly appeared beside Bi Shui Fairy, afterward, the Thunder Flame King Sword in his hand also unleashed the same King’s power.
That sword, containing Zhou Yan’s own Dao, after merging fourteen King’s Marks, Ancestor Dragon Emperor Venerate King Sword Dao.
One sword drawn, directly collided with the attack from the jade short sword.
Next moment, all the dried lake water of Heavenly Pool soared, exploding continuously.
Endless singularity in the void were all shattered, transforming into collapsed traces spreading around.
Zhou Yan’s sword unleashed a kind of King’s Supreme Dao, deriving an indestructible immortal will.
Whereas Bi Shui Fairy’s jade short sword, each strike was extremely vicious, extremely fierce and resolute, the unleashed power was so terrifying, that Zhou Yan found it almost unbearable.
After repeatedly exchanging several moves, Zhou Yan felt somewhat fatigued, lacking subsequent strength.
Whereas Bi Shui Fairy seemed to fight more courageously, growing stronger.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath, then immediately initiated the new method of Evil Dragon Inheritance.
This time, Zhou Yan easily burned almost all of Holy Spirit Origin, forming a black hole, finally from this black hole, consolidating the attack range, locking Bi Shui Fairy’s terrifying strike.
