Free Web NovelChapter 648: Chapter 648: Slaying the Holy Land Disciple!
Lin Xuan was struck by the Flying Sword and thrown backward through the air.
It’s over. Ning Xue despaired. Their champion had still been defeated.
Lu Jiu’s face turned grim. Was he hit? He’ll either die or be severely injured.
The leading young man on the opposing side laughed heartily. "To duel with me, you still have a long way to go. Is this your trump card? Thinking you can defeat me with this... how naive."
At that moment, an icy voice rang out. Immediately after, Lin Xuan flew back from the distance, completely unharmed.
"He blocked it!" Lu Jiu cried out in surprise.
Ning Xue’s eyes flew open, her face filled with shock.
"How is this possible?" The leading young man’s eyes nearly popped out of his skull. His Flying Sword was so terrifying that an ordinary Two-Star Grandmaster would be severely injured by a surprise attack, yet this brat was completely unscathed!
This is unbelievable! Damn it, what kind of Physique is that? Could he really possess some kind of Super Divine Body?
Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. His Wan Long Physique was a peerless Divine Body; a mere Flying Sword couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
In the next moment, Lin Xuan thrust his palm forward. "Cyan Dragon Sky-Hunting Palm!"
The strike transformed into a massive Dragon Claw that shot forward ferociously.
Oh no. The leading young man’s expression changed dramatically. He roared furiously and quickly counterattacked, striking out with both palms. They clashed with Lin Xuan’s Dragon Claw, but its power was immense, seemingly capable of tearing everything apart.
Instantly, the leading young man was sent flying, his arm fractured and spraying blood.
Lin Xuan had won.
Lu Jiu jumped up in excitement, while Ning Xue was shaken to her core.
It was too unbelievable. Previously, they had despaired when the five prodigies of the Wan Chu Holy Land joined forces against them. But now, Lin Xuan had single-handedly turned the tide of battle.
It’s truly incredible! He’s just too powerful!
"I actually lost... How could this be?" The leading young man’s face was grim. He stared at Lin Xuan with hatred, grinding his teeth. "You damn brat, just you wait! This isn’t over. Our Wan Chu Holy Land will absolutely not let this matter rest!"
With that, he turned to leave.
But Lin Xuan let out a cold laugh. "Trying to leave? Did I say you could go?"
A frigid killing intent surfaced in Lin Xuan’s eyes.
The leading young man whipped his head around, roaring, "What? You wouldn’t dare kill me!"
The other young men from the Wan Chu Holy Land also glared angrily. They couldn’t believe he would dare to strike a killing blow.
"Why wouldn’t I?" Lin Xuan shot a palm forward, instantly tearing one of the young men to shreds.
A miserable scream echoed as a fine mist of blood filled the air. A Grandmaster from the Wan Chu Holy Land had fallen.
Everyone present was stunned. Ning Xue and the others gasped.
So decisive in his killing!
On the other side, the faces of the four remaining youths from the Wan Chu Holy Land turned ashen. They never expected him to actually dare to kill one of them.
"Run! We have to run!"
They turned to flee. However, Lin Xuan’s Dragon Claw shot out, rapidly expanding until it blotted out the sky, enveloping all four of them. It was about to tear them to pieces.
But at that very moment, a beam of blue sword light flew in from the distance. It carried a chilling aura, and snowflakes materialized in the air wherever it passed. The sword light struck the Dragon Claw, halting its advance.
It was accompanied by a booming voice. "Who dares to move against my Wan Chu Holy Land?"
Beneath the Dragon Claw, the four young men from the Wan Chu Holy Land, who had been filled with despair, were suddenly overjoyed. Hearing the voice, they grew excited. "This is great! Brother Wang is here!"
With a flicker, they dodged out of the Dragon Claw’s attack range and shouted excitedly, "Brother Wang, save us! Brother Wang, kill this brat! He’s too vile! He killed a disciple of our Wan Chu Holy Land! You absolutely cannot let him go!"
A figure flew over from the distance. It was a man in a blue robe with matching blue hair. His body radiated a chilling aura, as if he could freeze the very heavens and earth. As soon as he appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted. Everyone felt as if they had been plunged into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave.
Ning Xue and Lu Jiu’s faces changed drastically. They stared intently at the blue-robed man and exclaimed, "A Two-Star Grandmaster!"
Damn it, I can’t believe the Wan Chu Holy Land sent a Two-Star Grandmaster here. This is going to be troublesome. I wonder if Lin Xuan can handle this?
Lin Xuan retracted his Dragon Claw. With a shake of his hand, the ice encasing it shattered into countless fragments that rained down. He squinted. What a terrifying icy aura. This newcomer seems extraordinary... but so what?
Even if his opponent was a Two-Star Grandmaster, he was still fearless. After all, his own strength was at the pinnacle of the Two-Star Grandmaster level. As long as a Three-Star Grandmaster didn’t show up, no one could do anything to him. Besides, he had the Snake King protecting him. Lin Xuan had nothing to fear.
The man in blue was Wang Tianhao. He descended from the sky and landed beside the other disciples of the Wan Chu Holy Land. When he learned what had transpired, his face grew grim. Glancing at his fallen companion’s body in the distance, a fierce killing intent flared in his eyes. He fixed his stare on Lin Xuan and said, his voice seething with murderous intent, "You dare kill a disciple of the Wan Chu Holy Land? Kneel and accept your death!"
"Hah! Who do you think you’re threatening?" Ning Xue rushed to stand beside Lin Xuan and retorted bluntly, "The Wan Chu Holy Land attacked first. They got what they deserved!"
"Exactly," Lu Jiu chimed in. "You were the ones who tried to kill us first! You were simply outmatched and got killed in retaliation. You have no one to blame but yourselves."
"Enough nonsense," Wang Tianhao barked. "I will kill you all and avenge my companion!"
With that, he slashed his sword. A blue Sword Qi descended from the heavens like an ice dragon.
Sensing its power, Ning Xue and Lu Jiu trembled as frost began to form on their skin. They were no match for a Two-Star Grandmaster.
"Step back. I’ll handle this," Lin Xuan said before swinging his Dragon Claw toward the sky.
He instantly caught the blue Sword Qi and crushed it. With a loud BANG, the Sword Qi exploded, turning into countless shards of frost that scattered in every direction. At the same time, Lin Xuan’s other Dragon Claw lashed out, falling from the sky to grab Wang Tianhao.
The very air around Wang Tianhao began to tremble violently. His own expression changed; he actually felt a hint of mortal danger.
How is this possible? This guy can actually threaten me? It’s unbelievable. Just who is he? He stared hard at Lin Xuan.
The next moment, he was stunned. He realized that Lin Xuan was only a Four-Star Grandmaster. How can this be? What’s going on with his cultivation level?
The lead disciple from before said, "Brother Wang, this kid must be hiding his cultivation. He has to be a Two-Star Grandmaster."
So that’s how it is. Wang Tianhao realized. He then snorted coldly. "So what if you’re hiding your cultivation? I’m a Two-Star Grandmaster too. In a battle between equals, I have never lost."
"Ice River Swordsmanship!"
The long sword in Wang Tianhao’s hand bloomed with a piercing light. He slashed out, and a glacial river seemed to descend from the sky. The chilling aura instantly froze the surroundings. This was a great Ultimate Skill of the Wan Chu Holy Land, its power immense enough to freeze anything.
The youths from the Wan Chu Holy Land cheered excitedly at the sight. "Excellent! The Ice River Swordsmanship is Brother Wang’s Ultimate Skill! It’s powerful enough to sweep away everything!"
"Just watch, that kid is doomed now!"
"Definitely. No matter how strong he is, he’s no match for Brother Wang."
Oh no! Ning Xue’s group paled when they saw this. That sword strike is just too powerful. Even a Two-Star Grandmaster couldn’t block that! They held their breath. Can Lin Xuan withstand it this time? If he can’t, we’re in big trouble.
Facing the attack, Lin Xuan once again reached out with his Dragon Claw, grabbing for the sky. Dragon Scales materialized on the claw, making it look like the true claw of a Cyan Dragon. It seized the Ice River Sword Qi.
With a loud bang, the Ice River Sword Qi was torn apart again. However, the fragmented Sword Qi transformed into a mass of frigid aura that instantly engulfed Lin Xuan.
In the next instant, Lin Xuan was turned into a block of ice, frozen solid.
"Oh no!" Lu Jiu exclaimed.
Ning Xue’s heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. It’s over. He’s been frozen solid. This is a complete defeat.
"Hahaha! He’s been frozen! Wonderful!" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Hmph! After we capture him, we’ll torture him to death!" the disciples of the Wan Chu Holy Land cheered, ecstatic.
The lead disciple said quickly, "Brother Wang, that guy’s Physique is incredibly strong. Could he shatter the ice and break out?"
"Don’t worry. No matter how strong his Physique is, he can’t break free," Wang Tianhao said. "My Ice River Sword Qi is condensed from three types of extreme cold energy. It’s enough to freeze anything.
"Unless he possesses the legendary Anomalous Fire, he won’t be able to melt my Ice River Sword Qi instantly. Otherwise, he won’t be getting out of there anytime soon."
Hearing this, the lead disciple breathed a sigh of relief. Anomalous Fire... that’s the stuff of legends. Even the Alchemy Masters of a Holy Land might not possess one, let alone this brat. It seems he’s completely frozen solid. Now, it’s time to torture him. We’ll make him wish he were dead!
