Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 551: Defying the Heavens!

Huo Yuner emerged from the relic. She looked at Mo Feng, completely disregarding his fiery gaze. "I can prove that Lin Xuan defeated Mo Feng with his bare hands," she said coldly.

What? The crowd was in an uproar. Huo Yuner was no ordinary person. Her cultivation had reached the late Seven-star Stage, and she was the pride of the Fire Dragon Sect. Her status, position, and cultivation were in no way weaker than Mo Feng’s. Her words undoubtedly carried great weight!

If even she said so, was it possible that Mo Feng had truly been defeated by Lin Xuan’s bare hands?

"Impossible!" The elders of the True Dragon Sect shook their heads furiously. "You’re lying! You’re slandering our True Dragon Sect!"

Huo Yuner laughed. "Lying? Slandering? Don’t tell me you think I’ve also submitted to Lin Xuan." She continued, "Those who submitted now bear a Soul Mark of Submission on their souls. I have no such mark. I have not submitted to Lin Xuan."

The elders of the True Dragon Sect were dumbfounded. Could she be telling the truth? How was this possible? They all looked toward Mo Feng, hoping he would refute her claim.

Mo Feng’s body trembled with rage. He stared at Huo Yuner and roared, "Why? Why did you have to expose the truth?"

"Because I couldn’t stand it," Huo Yuner snorted coldly. "Mo Feng, losing isn’t shameful, but being a sore loser is. You were clearly defeated by his bare hands, so why don’t you dare to admit it?"

Mo Feng was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward onto the ground. He felt like he was truly about to die from rage.

The faces of the True Dragon Sect’s elders turned ugly. Their previous arrogance had vanished, completely replaced by utter humiliation.

The other onlookers were stunned. Lin Xuan really defeated Mo Feng with his bare hands! Just how strong was he? What kind of Physique did this young man possess to be so heaven-defying?

"Lin Xuan might be a Dragon Warrior," Huo Yuner said.

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire crowd erupted.

"What? A Dragon Warrior?"

"The legendary Dragon Warrior?"

"Is it true? This is impossible!"

"You can’t make such claims! The path to becoming a Dragon Warrior was severed. It’s been over a thousand years since anyone became a Dragon Warrior!"

"Are you sure?"

All eyes were fixed on Huo Yuner.

"I’m not certain either, but his hands were definitely covered in Dragon Scales," Huo Yuner stated. "He shattered the Azure Heaven Battle Body with a single palm strike. I can think of no other explanation besides him being a Dragon Warrior."

Everyone gasped upon hearing this. Could Lin Xuan truly be a Dragon Warrior? The crowd went wild at the thought. The Celestial Dream Pavilion was envious. The Fire Dragon Sect was shocked. The True Dragon Sect was jealous! The Wu Family was dumbstruck.

If Lin Xuan was a Dragon Warrior, then there was no shame in submitting to him. Wu Chen had not lost unjustly after all. No wonder Lin Xuan could defeat the Azure Heaven Battle Body with his bare hands and sweep away all his rivals. It turned out he was a Dragon Warrior! At that moment, cries of astonishment echoed through the heavens and the earth.

Over with the Ye Family, however, there was only silence. They were all stunned, their minds completely blank. After a moment of shock, Madam Ye suddenly burst into laughter. "Lin Xuan is my son-in-law! He is my son-in-law! My son-in-law has the bearing of a Great Emperor! My son-in-law is a Dragon Warrior! Hahahaha!"

She was absolutely overjoyed.

The surrounding crowd looked at her with immense envy.

"Madam Ye is truly lucky to have a Dragon Warrior for a son-in-law."

"Ah, what a shame. My daughter is beautiful too. If only I had known, I would have tried to marry her to Lin Xuan."

"The Ye Family has struck gold. They’re going to rise to prominence now."

Many family elders had already approached the Ye Family to offer their congratulations. With such a genius in their ranks, the Ye Family was destined to prosper.

"Impossible!" An elder of the True Dragon Sect, having recovered his senses, shook his head furiously. "The path of the Dragon Warrior has been severed! How could that boy possibly become one? I don’t believe it. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will never believe it!"

"Where is Lin Xuan? Why hasn’t he come out yet?"

The others were just as curious, all of them wanting to witness the truth for themselves. Every eye turned toward the ancient relic. Madam Ye and the others even rushed to the entrance, wanting to be the first to welcome Lin Xuan.

Huo Yuner, however, let out a sigh. "Don’t wait. Lin Xuan isn’t coming out."

"What do you mean?" everyone asked, puzzled.

Madam Ye spoke up. "Why wouldn’t he come out? He can’t stay in the ancient relic forever. He has to return eventually."

"He can’t return," Huo Yuner said with another sigh. "He died inside the relic."

What? Everyone was stunned.

Madam Ye felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She shook her head frantically. "Impossible! That’s impossible! You’re lying!"

"It’s true," Wu Chen sighed. "Lin Xuan died in the relic."

Ru Meng tearfully added, "Young Master Lin was killed by a Demon Beast while trying to seize the Dragon Pearl."

Chasing Wind sighed as well. "There were several Grandmaster-level Demon Beasts near the Dragon Pearl. There’s no way the Young Master could have made it out alive after going in."

The Wu Family was dumbfounded. The Celestial Dream Pavilion was dumbfounded. The Fire Dragon Sect was dumbfounded. Everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

Lin Xuan was dead! This was completely unexpected.

The members of the Ye Family, however, were devastated. Madam Ye simply collapsed. How could this have happened? Lin Xuan had swept away all the other geniuses and even manifested Dragon Scales to become a Dragon Warrior. His future was boundless. Yet, just as such a peerless genius was about to take flight, he had fallen. The blow was too much for her to bear. Her vision went black, and she fainted on the spot.

"Sigh, what a pity for such a genius!" the Wu Family lamented.

Members of the Fire Dragon Sect said, "Heaven is truly jealous of talent!"

The Celestial Dream Pavilion sighed, "And here we were, hoping to see a Dragon Warrior with our own eyes."

The others were also in an uproar. How could he have died? That relic was far too terrifying; even a Dragon Warrior was doomed to die inside. It seemed no one would be able to obtain the Dragon Pearl.

Fang Cangsong, who had been waiting in secret, was also frozen in place. The earlier news had shocked him; he never expected Lin Xuan to be so powerful. But so what? The boy would have eventually died by his hand anyway, and the Dragon Pearl would be his. But now? Lin Xuan was dead! He died inside the relic! He hadn’t brought the Dragon Pearl out with him. On the contrary, the Earth Dragon Pearl he carried was now also lost within the relic. His plan had failed. His dream was shattered. He would never be able to gather all five Dragon Pearls in his lifetime! How could this be happening? Fang Cangsong fell into despair.

「Meanwhile.」

The people from the True Dragon Sect frowned. They had wanted to capture Lin Xuan and interrogate him about how he became a Dragon Warrior, but now he was dead.

"Sigh, what a pity," one of their elders lamented.

Another elder sneered. "It’s good that he’s dead. So what if that rascal was talented? He’s still dead. A dead genius is nothing. Mo Feng, there’s no need to despair. You are still alive and have a future. That Lin Xuan has nothing left."

"Let’s go."

The True Dragon Sect prepared to leave. The others also began to depart one after another, leaving only the stunned members of the Ye Family behind. The blow they had suffered was too great, and they still couldn’t accept the reality.

But just then, another figure walked out of the relic. This person was none other than Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan?" the Grand Elder of the Ye Family exclaimed.

The Second Elder blinked hard. Good heavens, was he seeing things? The Third Elder looked as if he had just seen a ghost.

Madam Ye was also startled awake. When she opened her eyes and saw Lin Xuan, she began to cry with excitement.

"Lin Xuan, you’re not dead! This is wonderful!"

"I knew it! How could you possibly die so easily?"

"You are the Young Emperor! You are a Dragon Warrior!"

"You’re alive! This is truly wonderful!"

Madam Ye laughed with ecstatic joy.

Hearing her voice, the members of the other families and sects who were leaving shook their heads and sighed.

"This Madam Ye must have gone crazy. She’s spouting nonsense."

"How could Lin Xuan possibly be alive?"

"They say there are several Grandmaster-level Demon Beasts around the Fire Dragon Pearl. No matter how strong that kid is, he couldn’t have survived!"

"It’s normal for Madam Ye to go insane. Anyone would break if they had such a heaven-defying son-in-law, only to have him die."

"I don’t think it’s just Madam Ye. The whole Ye Family has gone mad."

"Claiming Lin Xuan has returned... Are they dreaming? There’s no way Lin Xuan could have come out of there alive."
