Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Sorry, Never Heard of Them

"Hahahahaha!"

Seeing the "demoness" submit so obediently, Xu Yu couldn’t help but throw his head back and laugh. He then looked smugly at the girl in red. "I told you to drop your weapon, not just stop fighting!"

The red-clothed girl’s eyes narrowed, and she glared coldly at Xu Yu.

"What? Didn’t you hear me? Are you really going to force my hand?"

The corner of Xu Yu’s mouth curled into a smirk as he pressed the sword against Shen Daoxing’s neck a little tighter.

The red-clothed girl hesitated. She glanced at Shen Daoxing, then at Yi, and finally let go of her sword.

The sword began its slow descent.

But just as the sword was halfway to the ground, the red-clothed girl suddenly reached out and caught it.

Xu Yu was instantly enraged. "Well now, you dare to trick me, demoness? Do you really think I won’t act?"

As he spoke, he put force into his blade, about to slice open Shen Daoxing’s throat.

But in that moment, Xu Yu realized he could no longer feel his hands. There was only a chilling, empty sensation.

Then, Xu Yu saw his own back, followed by his legs, and finally, his own headless torso.

His eyes widened in shock before his round head hit the ground with a THUD.

And the scholar he had been holding hostage was now holding a massive, pitch-black greatsword, looking down at him indifferently.

"!!!"

Only then did Xu Yu realize that this scholar was no simple man, but it was too late.

Shen Daoxing shook his head.

’My identity is... complicated. And after the havoc I raised in Ancient Moon City, the Profound Celestial Sacred Land has probably put a warrant out for me across the entire East Continent.’ That was why Shen Daoxing didn’t want to reveal who he was. He had been careful to hide his true abilities, even from the girl in red.

Unfortunately, these members of the Xu Family were blind and had to provoke him.

"Xu Yu!"

Xu Xing’an cried out in alarm when he saw Xu Yu fall. He stared at Shen Daoxing in disbelief. "Who are you? How dare you kill a descendant of my Xu Family? Do you have any idea who the Xu Family is? You dare to offend us?"

’This again?’ Shen Daoxing felt like his ears were growing calluses.

"So, just who is this Xu Family of yours?"

As he spoke, Shen Daoxing swung his Great Ming Demon Sparrow in a horizontal arc. With a WHOOSH, a spray of blood flew into the air as a Xu Family disciple at his side was cleaved in two at the waist.

Shen Daoxing was not one to act lightly, but once he did, he showed no mercy.

"How audacious!"

Xu Xing’an exploded with rage. "The current Grand Commandant, Duke of Wu’an Xu Xiong, is the blood brother of my clan leader! Making an enemy of the Xu Family is the same as making an enemy of the entire Daqian Empire!"

Shen Daoxing smiled faintly. "My apologies! What Duke of Wu’an Xu Xiong? What Xu Family? Never heard of them!"

With another flash of his blade, another Xu Family disciple at his side was sliced in half.

’He wasn’t even afraid of the Celestial Profound Sacred Land, so why would he fear some minor Xu Family?’

In an instant, the other Xu Family descendants turned pale with fright and spun around to flee.

But how could Shen Daoxing let them escape to report back?

He brought two fingers together, a point of blue light glowing at their tip.

In a flash, his Thunder Sword Intent shot out, crackling with arcs of electricity.

"SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!"

A blue arc of lightning flashed through the air, and the fleeing Xu Family disciples were instantly pierced through the heart.

"You..."

Xu Xing’an roared, leaping into the air and raising his sword to attack Shen Daoxing.

But just as he was about to lunge, a figure flashed before him, and the red-clothed girl appeared in his path.

"Your opponent is me!"

The red-clothed girl glared at Xu Xing’an, her sword held high. "Nine Thunders Shocking Heaven Technique!"

"RUMBLE!"

A peal of thunder echoed from the dark clouds above. In an instant, a bolt of silvery-white lightning struck down, landing on the red-clothed girl’s longsword.

The girl then channeled the lightning and brought her sword down in a ferocious slash.

Xu Xing’an hurriedly swung his own sword up to meet her. "Cyan Cloud Sword Technique! Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens!"

"ROAR!"

With a dragon’s roar, a menacing white dragon formed of clouds surged forth and crashed into the lightning bolt, sending countless arcs of electricity dancing across the sky.

During this exchange, Shen Daoxing’s blade flashed again and again. Crimson sprays of blood erupted as he slaughtered every last Xu Family disciple, leaving only fallen corpses in his wake.

He made sure no one was left to spread the word.

Only then did Shen Daoxing turn to look at the girl in red. Seeing her locked in a struggle with Xu Xing’an, with no clear winner, he thought about stepping in to help.

But unexpectedly, the red-clothed girl said coolly, "Don’t. I’m enough to handle him!"

As she spoke, she soared into the air, leaping high and pointing her longsword at the sky. "Nine Thunders Shocking Heaven Technique! Nine Thunders Shocking Heaven!"

Instantly, a fierce wind began to blow, and the dark clouds churned violently.

"RUMBLE!"

"RUMBLE!"

"RUMBLE!"

...

A series of explosive cracks echoed as one, two, three... a total of nine dazzling bolts of heavenly lightning descended, striking the girl’s longsword and illuminating the entire sky.

"Strike!"

The red-clothed girl’s sword fell, bringing the nine roaring thunderbolts down with it.

’She thinks she’s enough on her own!’

Xu Xing’an felt deeply insulted. "Does she really think a Spirit Transformation realm cultivator like me is so fragile?"

Saying this, he lifted his sword, inverted it, and plunged it into the ground. "Cyan Cloud Sword Technique, Nine Heavens of Qiankun!"

As if in a trance, Shen Daoxing felt everything around him turn illusory and blur.

Suddenly, a Yin Yang Fish Eye Tai Chi Diagram appeared at Xu Xing’an’s feet. The diagram began to spin and grow, instantly appearing beneath Shen Daoxing and the red-clothed girl as well.

Shen Daoxing saw the Tai Chi Diagram erupt in a brilliant glow. His vision was filled with white light, and he could see nothing. When the scene around him reappeared...

...he was shocked to find himself in a vast, white void.

After arriving in this space, the heavenly lightning on the red-clothed girl’s sword seemed to have its connection to the heavens severed. The electric arcs flickered a few times, then vanished.

The next moment, Xu Xing’an appeared before the red-clothed girl.

He was now shrouded in white light, his aura majestic and powerful, like a Celestial Being descending to the mortal world. His presence was several times stronger than before.

"ROAR!"

He raised his sword high, and a dragon’s cry rang out.

Suddenly, a white cloud dragon emerged, riding on clouds and mist.

The red-clothed girl was slightly startled. She moved back a step, then raised her sword. CRACKLING arcs of electricity flickered over her Treasure Sword.

Unseen, countless bolts of lightning gathered on the Treasure Sword, coiling around it like so many electric Wandering Dragons.

"Destruction Thunder Strike!"

The red-clothed girl shouted, thrusting her sword forward with a heaven-shaking Thunder Dragon of lightning.

But at this very moment, the red-clothed girl suddenly let out a cry and spat a large mouthful of fresh blood, which splattered onto the Treasure Sword in her hand.

Instantly, the Thunder Dragon on her blade vanished.

And just then, Xu Xing’an’s longsword, carrying its menacing cloud dragon, arrived.

Shen Daoxing’s expression froze. He knew that if he didn’t act now, it would be too late.
