Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 442: Lin Xuan Acts! Saving the Clan Leader!

"You have an Anomalous Fire?"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s words, everyone was stunned. Who is this guy? How dare he be so arrogant!

Elder Nine Seals was shocked. "Boy, it’s you again!"

Ye Ruxue roared, "This is not a place for you to boast! Get out of here!"

Madam Ye shrieked, "Why is he still here? Someone, throw him out!"

However, Ye Qingwu was ecstatic. She knew that Lin Xuan truly did possess an Anomalous Fire, and if he took action, the chances of success would be much higher. She quickly said, "Mother, don’t drive Junior Brother Lin away. Let him try!"

"What? Are you insane?" Madam Ye was furious. The others were dumbfounded. How could Ye Qingwu still believe in Lin Xuan at a time like this?

Ye Qingwu shook her head. "Junior Brother Lin isn’t a fraud. He really has an Anomalous Fire!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar. "Is that true? Is this kid really that incredible?"

Elder Nine Seals shook his head. "Qing Wu, what kind of joke is this? How can a young man like him possibly control something like an Anomalous Fire?"

"Third Sister, snap out of it!" Ye Ruxue roared. "You’ve been tricked by this boy! How could he possibly possess an Anomalous Fire?"

Madam Ye pointed a trembling finger at Lin Xuan and Ye Qingwu, bellowing, "Guards! Throw both of them out! Master Nine Seals, please act quickly. We can’t afford any more delays!"

The guards rushed forward again. Elder Nine Seals said, "Young man, you should leave now. This is not a place for you to cause trouble."

Lin Xuan said nothing more. He simply stretched out his palm.

With a BOOM, a ball of blue flame materialized in his palm, shining like a star and illuminating the entire room. It was accompanied by a scorching wave of heat. This wave, like a roaring sea of fire, billowed outwards, forcing the guards to retreat again and again.

Ye Ruxue and the others were also startled.

"What are you trying to do? Are you going to attack us?" Madam Ye raged.

However, Elder Nine Seals’s eyes were wide as saucers, fixed on the flame in Lin Xuan’s hand. His body began to tremble. The next moment, he exclaimed, "That’s an Anomalous Fire! You really do possess an Anomalous Fire!"

His words sent a shockwave through the room.

Madam Ye was dumbfounded.

Ye Ruxue shook her head frantically. Impossible! "Elder Nine Seals? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?" she demanded. "He’s just a brat! How could he possibly possess the legendary Anomalous Fire?"

"It’s real." Elder Nine Seals swallowed hard, his voice filled with excitement. "I couldn’t possibly be mistaken. The aura of this flame is so powerful it almost brings me to my knees. Only the legendary Anomalous Fire could pose such a threat to me." As he spoke, he was overjoyed, his eyes filled with a fanatical gleam. The legendary Anomalous Fire... To think I’d get to see it with my own eyes! It’s truly incredible!

It’s really an Anomalous Fire! Ye Ruxue was completely stupefied. It was a humiliating slap in the face. She had been so sure Lin Xuan was just bragging, but she never imagined he actually possessed such a treasure.

Ye Qingwu said excitedly, "Mother, did you see? I wasn’t lying! Hurry and let Junior Brother Lin take action!"

Madam Ye snapped back to her senses, her face also lighting up with joy. "Young Master Lin, please, save my husband! You can name any condition you want." After speaking, she gave Lin Xuan a deep bow, her attitude a complete reversal from before.

"Rest assured, Madam Ye. I will help." Lin Xuan then turned to look at Clan Leader Ye, who was lying motionless on the bed. He placed his hand on the man’s forehead and closed his eyes to assess his condition. A moment later, he frowned slightly. The man’s condition was terrible; it could be said he already had one foot through hell’s door.

"There are too many people here. All of you, please leave and do not disturb me," Lin Xuan said with a wave of his hand.

Madam Ye led everyone out of the room. Even Elder Nine Seals retreated, leaving Lin Xuan alone.

"Kid, this old fellow’s condition isn’t good. This will be a huge challenge, even for you," the big black dog’s voice rang in his mind.

Lin Xuan nodded. No matter how great the challenge, he had to try. This was Ye Qingwu’s father, after all.

He then mobilized the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire, injecting it into Clan Leader Ye’s body. Instantly, the Clan Leader’s body grew scorching hot. The Myriad Spider and Scorpion Poison within him seemed to sense the threat and began to scurry away rapidly.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan’s expression changed. This poison is so bizarre, it can even dodge? This complicated things. If the poison remained stationary, Lin Xuan could eliminate it bit by bit. But if it fled throughout the body, the consequences would be unimaginable. In his current state, Clan Leader Ye’s body couldn’t withstand such turmoil.

"Snake King, freeze his body and this poison, but do not harm his life force," Lin Xuan commanded.

As his words fell, the Black Water Mysterious Snake flew out from his sleeve and coiled itself around Clan Leader Ye. The Snake King then spat out a cloud of black, icy mist.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

A layer of frost instantly formed on Clan Leader Ye’s body. The icy mist seeped into his system, freezing everything in its path. The poison was also encased in the ice, and its movement within his body slowed to a crawl.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then activated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire once more, beginning the slow process of refining the poison.

An hour later, Lin Xuan’s face had grown pale. The poison was exceedingly difficult to refine, and the process was consuming a massive amount of his energy. It seemed impossible to refine all the poison in one go; he would have to do it slowly over time. Fortunately, with Clan Leader Ye’s body frozen, the poison would no longer spread. That, at least, was good news.

Lin Xuan waved his hand, retracting the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire, and wiped the sweat from his brow. He had managed to refine about a tenth of the poison. At this rate, it would take around ten days to completely purge it. At this thought, Lin Xuan felt a wave of relief. Clan Leader Ye’s life was saved.

「Outside the room.」

Everyone was waiting anxiously. Madam Ye paced back and forth, her mind racing. What’s happening in there?

"Elder Nine Seals, do you think that boy can succeed?" she asked.

Elder Nine Seals sighed. "It’s hard to say. If I were to try, the success rate would be less than one percent. But he has an Anomalous Fire, so his chances should be more than ten times mine."

"Ten times yours? That’s still only a ten percent success rate," Ye Ruxue said, dissatisfied. "And here I thought it would be a hundred percent successful."

Elder Nine Seals rolled his eyes internally. You really have some nerve. Even if the Alchemy King himself came, he wouldn’t dare claim a one-hundred-percent success rate. Outwardly, he explained, "Treatment for the Clan Leader’s poison was delayed for too long, and the toxins have already spread. If the Anomalous Fire had been used from the very beginning, the success rate would have been over ninety percent. As it stands now, ten percent is already an incredible, heaven-defying chance. It’s safe to say that besides Young Master Lin, no one else could achieve such a rate. Not even the Alchemy Master of the Fang family."

"Please, heavens, please bless us." Madam Ye clasped her hands together, praying incessantly.

Ye Qingwu tried to reassure her. "Mother, don’t worry. Junior Brother Lin will surely succeed. He has created countless miracles before, and I’m sure he’ll create another one this time."

Just as she finished speaking, the door swung open, and Lin Xuan walked out.

"How did it go? Were you successful?" Madam Ye asked in a rush.

Ye Qingwu’s heart was in her throat.

Ye Ruxue, however, dashed straight past them into the room. She saw Clan Leader Ye completely encased in ice. He actually turned my father into an ice sculpture! How detestable!

The next moment, she shrieked, "You monster! What did you do to my father?"

"What’s wrong? Did he fail?" The world went dark for Madam Ye, and she nearly fainted.

Ye Qingwu froze in place. Could it be that this time, Lin Xuan didn’t create a miracle?

"He failed?" Elder Nine Seals let out a heavy sigh and closed his eyes.

At that moment, everyone was plunged into despair.
