Zhao Xiao Yu gazed into Yan Xu’s eyes with a sort of deep affection but at the same time a coldness, and said:
I know, you are heartless

Yan Xu laughed, if a smile can be used as a weapon, his smile would be the most deadly weapon that beckons death no matter what. He said, ‘I need to reacquaint myself with you, Lady Zhao Xiao Yu. You are one of the most unique ladies I have ever met.
Zhao Xiao Yu remained silent for what seemed an eternity, her gaze fastened on Yan Xu who was standing before her, unmoving.
Yan Xu did not feel awkward and continued: ‘Do you not want to find out which lady is more special in my eyes?’
Zhao Xiao Yu appeared indifferent towards Yan Xu’s words and the snow fluttered around her giving her an aura of divinity. Even the Nine Lotus Lord would be shamed in Zhao Xiao Yu’s divine presence.


Yan Xu said:
Perhaps I should let you know who Shen Lian considers the most important in his heart. After all, besides me, I’m afraid nobody else can see his heart.
It was that statement that garnered a response from Zhao Xiao Yu in the form of a snow whirling up to gather and form of a giant lotus flower made of frost. It rotated slowly and gravitated to the position where Shen Lian is located.
The large ice lotus moved slowly, but it still rotated, as if trying to gather all the snow falling around it.
Even creatures from outside Jimo Peak could see a lotus flower of pure white slowly rising in the night sky, a gentle white glow emanating proudly in the dark night, there was no one who missed it.
Yan Xu could not ignore the white lotus flower above his head, just like how he could not ignore Zhao Xiao Yu. A limitless glacial vital force came from the white lotus, forming an invisible domain, catching him within it.
He could control himself to feel hot or cold whenever he needed. He could even disable his senses, but this time it seemed ineffective.
The frigid isolation brought by the glacial vital force made him feel as if he is in a rifter. He did not need to check to know that his eyebrows and hair has been covered in frost.
He turned into an iced sculpture, silently remaining upright and unmoving as if losing his mobility permanently.
The chilly breath of the ice lotus is unordinary, for it contains the spirit of Vyupasama to be able to freeze even the likes of Yan Xu.
The Nine Lotus Scriptures were born from the essence of Luoism, while Luoism teaches the mysticism of both Daoism and Buddhism. What Zhao Xiao Yu did was an incorporation Buddhist teachings of death and emptiness.


She was aware of the gap between her and Yan Xu and she did not hesitate to use the ultimate technique in the Nne Lotus Mie Di, meaning death and nirvana, akin to a white lotus.
Amongst Yan Xu’s sky demon indigenous techniques, there is also a move similar to Zhao Xiao Yu’s, it was the ‘Sky demon disintegration’.
Yan Xu sighed gently, the frost covering his body began to crack, he prodded:
Was this worth it?

Zhao Xiao Yu gazed right into Yan Xu’s eyes as if replying it is to Yan Xu.
Values inherently differed from person to person, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure and thus, cannot be generalized so.
Yan Xu said nothing more, his lips parted ever so slightly and a loud roar came rushing out, shaking away the frost around his body.
At the same time, numerous green and yellow light spots emerged from his body, lastly forming a pair of green and a pair of yellow wings, resembling the wings of the then demonic God.
The wings gently flapped, the tips of the wings drew out numerous mysterious runes in a combination of yellow and green strings of light at incredible speeds. Lastly, accompanied by Yan Xu’s dwindling howl, the yellow and green light net sprayed out. Like the first rays of sunrise, igniting tens of thousands of rays of light, which turned into a giant yellow and green web, netting the giant ice lotus in the air.
Zhao Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes, the empty space in front of her suspended a pure, white and flawless lotus. Changing several times, the white lotus turned into a beautiful white knife. The cross-guard took the shape of a lotus seed pod, the lotus petals formed the blade of the knife, and the hilt resembled the color of a lotus leaf. She stretched her soft hand that is as white as jade, through her wide sleeve and grabbed this unique knife.
At this moment, no one glimpse at Zhao Xiao Yu’s waves of divine power, it was as if after casting the ‘Nine lotus miedi’, not only did her power grew rapidly to a frightening degree, but her control of the power became extremely precise.


Every drop of power would not go to waste, and no extra vital force would leak from it.
Zhao Xiao Yu threw the sword, its trajectory clean and untraceable like water. The sword managed to contain Zhao Xiao Yu’s incredible divine power within it.
When it came close to Yan Xu, it suddenly erupted with Qi of the blade with the force of landslides and tsunamis, silently aimed at Yan Xu.
Yan Xu seemed to be ignorant of his surroundings, closing his eyes and immersing himself in eternal darkness as if it had become his home, more so his source of power.
His mind is faster than fire sparks and lightning. Therefore, even if it seems as if an eternity has passed in the realm of his heart and soul, the Qi of the blade which bears destructive power akin to landslides and tsunamis that was outside the realm had yet to reach him.
Yan Xu would still have the leisure of considering what would be the outcome if the knife that Zhao Xiao Yu launched with all her might ever landed on him. Not only did the Qi of the blade had the essence of her enhanced power, but also her spiritual power which would be sure to guarantee significant damage.
But will it guarantee his death?
He seemed lost when posed with this question, there will only be death if there is life. Could he be considered as a living being?
He thought himself alive, after all, he was capable of thought. He recalled looking into the depths of Shen Lian’s heart and soul and saw a phrase that stuck with him until now, ‘I think, therefore I exist.’ Did this phrase not affirm what he thought at this very moment?
To think is to harbor intentions, an endless intention creates endless demons. This very reason is why Buddha could not sever the roots and eliminate evil for good.


But all the intentions of all the creatures that have existed will always remain countless, like the sands of the Ganges. However, there is only one Yan Xu, and why is that so?
Yan Xu already had an answer to that question. Within his silent and dark soul, a sky full of stars suddenly manifested, but the most amazing was that among the stars, there hung a bright moon above the sea of the heart, dominating the star-filled sky.
In the actual universe, the starry skies did not look like this. The actual moon, compared to any other stars, looked like a speck of dust. But the moon in Yan Xu’s soul seemed to command the attention of the starry sky.
It is also Yan Xu’s utmost intention, with it, it was proved that Yan Xu is not amongst the countless demons in the Ganges.
When he truly understood, the darkest part of his soul seemed as if a piece of paper was torn, the Qi of the knife came gushing out and pointed straight towards the moon.
Yan Xu clearly understood that the terror of that knife from Zhao Xiao Yu not only lies in its power, but it also shed light on an entirely different understanding, that he was different from the other demons, making him awakening to his reason for existence.
Because it exists, it can be eliminated.
The sword was not able to destroy the sea of stars of Ganges, but it succeeded in destroying the bright moon, and that was enough.
And upon the knife, Zhao Xiao Yu would definitely qualify to be his worthy opponent. What he thought to be something that only Shen Lian can accomplish was accomplished by Zhao Xiao Yu.
