Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 464: Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow!

"Junior Brother Lin, get down here! Don’t offend the Fang family!" Ye Qingwu stamped her foot anxiously. Beside her, Ye Ruxue was furious.

I already warned this kid not to be arrogant in front of the Fang family, but he still wouldn’t listen. I never should have let him come.

She roared, "Lin Xuan, get down here right now! If you offend the Fang family and disrupt our plans, I will never forgive you!"

The disciple from the Fang family on the boat was also enraged. This kid is far too arrogant, acting as if the Fang family is beneath his notice! Even Ye Ruxue doesn’t dare to be so presumptuous. How dare a mere nine-star Martial General act so insolently? He really has a death wish!

He snorted coldly and raised his hand to strike Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan sneered. A mere two-star Grandmaster dares to attack me? He’s courting death!

He clenched his fist, preparing to unleash his Serpent Fist.

But just as the Dragon Power began to circulate within him, Dragon Spirit Lake let out a deafening roar. A streak of Sword Qi shot out from the water.

What was happening? The people on the shore heard the commotion and looked up at the sky, staring at the scene, utterly speechless.

The Fang family disciple, who had been about to attack Lin Xuan, was so terrified by the sight that he dropped to his knees and began kowtowing repeatedly. He knew this lake had an extraordinary origin; it had once been the training ground for Dragon Warriors. Furthermore, a Divine Sword left behind by a Dragon Warrior was buried within it: the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword.

This Sword Qi... it must have been released by the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword, right? This isn’t something I can possibly withstand!

Lin Xuan was also taken aback. He squinted, staring at the Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow. I can feel it... It seems to be coming for me.

Lin Xuan let out a cold snort and took a step forward as a terrifying dragon roar erupted from within him.

In response, the Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow ahead roared angrily toward the sky.

The booming sound was like a clap of thunder, causing everyone’s blood to churn. Below, the lake surged, sending thousand-foot waves into the air. The lakewater blotted out the sky, engulfing everything until nothing was visible.

What was going on? The Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow seemed enraged.

"Is someone challenging the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword?"

"That’s incredible! This is a Divine Sword left by a Dragon Warrior. Who would dare to challenge it?"

The crowd exclaimed in shock.

The Fang family disciple on the boat was dumbfounded. He witnessed an unbelievable scene: Lin Xuan was actually confronting the Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow, and he was completely unharmed. This is impossible! Isn’t he just a nine-star Martial General? How can he be this powerful?

The Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow let out a roar and charged forward.

Lin Xuan’s expression turned grim as he raised a hand and struck. "Cyan Dragon Sky-Hunting Hand."

The palm strike seemed to tear through the heavens and shatter the earth, directly shredding the Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow. After the attack, the sword image dissolved into countless droplets of water that scattered in all directions.

RUMBLE!

The vast expanse of lakewater crashed back into the lake, producing a world-shaking roar. The boats on the surface rocked violently.

The surrounding geniuses cried out in amazement.

"The Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow is gone!"

"Who in the world was powerful enough to do that?"

"An ordinary genius would be no match for the Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow. I bet it was a disciple from the True Dragon Sect!"

"Did disciples from the True Dragon Sect come to this genius gathering too?"

"Only a disciple from the True Dragon Sect could contend with the Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow."

A wave of discussion rippled through the crowd.

On the boat, the Fang family disciple’s scalp went numb with fear. He knew it wasn’t a disciple from the True Dragon Sect. It was the young man standing right in front of him. He was the one fighting the Sword Shadow! And he defeated it! It’s unbelievable! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it, not even if you beat me to death!

"Lin Xuan, are you still not coming down?" Ye Ruxue roared. She leaped onto the boat and reached for Lin Xuan, intending to throw him off.

But at that moment, the Fang family disciple spoke up. "You can stay on the boat. I’ll take you to the center of the lake right away."

What? Ye Ruxue was stunned, then instantly overjoyed. She bowed to the Fang family disciple, thanking him. "Thank you, thank you so much."

The disciple waved his hands frantically in terror. "No need for thanks, no need at all."

Are you kidding me? If I dared to make a move against the Ye Family again, Lin Xuan would probably slap me into oblivion.

"Third Sister, get on board!" Ye Ruxue waved for Ye Qingwu to join them.

Then, the boat set off.

On deck, Lin Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on Spirit Lake. I have to find a chance to get into that Spirit Lake and see what that Spiritual Dragon Sword Shadow really is.

Ye Ruxue walked over and spoke in a cold voice, "Lin Xuan, didn’t I warn you not to be reckless in front of the Fang family? Why didn’t you listen? This time, we were lucky the Fang family’s disciple was magnanimous enough to let us on board. Otherwise, if the Fang family got angry and drove us away, what would we have done?"

Lin Xuan laughed. "The Fang family disciple wasn’t being magnanimous. He let us on because he’s afraid of me. That’s why he doesn’t dare act arrogantly anymore."

"Afraid of you?" Ye Ruxue rolled her eyes. The Fang family disciple is a two-star Grandmaster, and you’re just a nine-star Martial General. Why on earth would he be afraid of you? You’re such a braggart.

Ye Ruxue warned, "I’ll say this one last time. When we get to the Water Dragon Ship, you absolutely cannot offend the Fang family. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to put you down myself."

「At the bottom of Spirit Lake.」

A dragon-shaped Divine Sword rested there. Suddenly, it emitted a low roar, and its brilliance illuminated its surroundings. Near the sword, by a stone monument, sat the silhouette of a woman. She was seated cross-legged in meditation, but the spirit dragon’s roar caused her to open her eyes.

"Someone was actually able to withstand the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword! How incredible!"

I wonder who that was. I must go and see for myself.

With that thought, the woman soared into the sky.

「Meanwhile...」

The ship finally reached the center of the lake, and Lin Xuan’s group boarded the Water Dragon Ship. The vessel was enormous, and many geniuses were already gathered on its decks. Some had even begun sparring and exchanging pointers.

The arrival of Lin Xuan and the others drew quite a bit of attention.

"The Ye family dares to show up?" someone said in surprise.

"Are they here to get themselves killed?" another sneered.

Yet another person speculated, "Maybe they’re here to apologize to the Fang family?"

"Ru Xue, I’m over here!" a young woman on the deck called out, waving. She had short hair and wore a purple robe, and her appearance was quite charming. It was through this woman that Ye Ruxue had managed to contact Fang Zimo.

Seeing her good friend, Ye Ruxue was delighted. She hurried over and asked, "Where is Young Master Fang?"

The short-haired woman smiled. "Young Master Fang will be here in a moment. Don’t be anxious. Let’s find a place to sit first."

With that, she led Ye Ruxue and the others to a table where they took their seats. The two women began speaking in low voices.

Lin Xuan, meanwhile, surveyed his surroundings. He noticed that many geniuses were already sparring. So this is what a ’genius gathering’ is. It just brings a bunch of talented people together to test their Martial Arts against each other.

He found that many of them were quite powerful, with a good number being three-star Grandmasters.

Truly incredible. It seems the decline of Dragon Island was a decline in its peak combatants, not its emerging talent. These geniuses are still very strong. However, it’s difficult for them to break through and become Great Grandmasters. Even if they do, their cultivation speed is agonizingly slow. This must be related to some kind of change that happened on Dragon Island... What could have occurred to cause such a decline?

Lin Xuan continued to watch and ponder.

After about half an hour, a sudden cry of excitement went up from the surrounding geniuses. "Young Master Fang is here!"

A handsome man in a blue robe was striding over. The surrounding geniuses all cupped their fists in salute. "Greetings, Young Master Fang."

Ye Ruxue stood up excitedly. Finally, I get to meet him.

"There’s no need for such formalities," Fang Zimo said, greeting the crowd as he walked.

He took the main seat, and his gaze swept over the area. His eyes instantly locked onto Ye Qingwu, and they lit up.

I must say, Ye Qingwu is a true, unparalleled beauty! That Fang Fan actually wanted to marry her. What a classic case of a toad lusting after a swan. Although I’m also a Fang family disciple, I’m not from the same branch as Fang Fan. The Fang family is a massive clan with complex internal politics. Fang Fan was just a dandy who only became a three-star Grandmaster by relying on elixirs. His own strength is pathetic. I, Fang Zimo, am different. I relied on my own innate talent to cultivate to the realm of a four-star Grandmaster! A true genius like me would never give someone like Fang Fan a second thought.

Just then, Ye Ruxue approached him. "Young Master Fang, I heard that you have a Divine Soul Recovery Pill. I would like to make a trade with you. Name any condition you want."

"Any condition?"

A smile played on Fang Zimo’s lips. He raised his hand and pointed directly at Ye Qingwu.

He said, "I want her!"
