Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Beating a Saintess All the Same

Inside the True Dragon Secret Realm.

A man and a woman were walking toward the exit.

The man, dressed in a black robe, wasn’t exceptionally tall or handsome, but he was still quite distinguished.

The woman beside him, however, was a peerless beauty, breathtakingly gorgeous.

These two were none other than Mo Yunlei and Nalan Rongruo.

Mo Yunlei said gratefully, "It’s all thanks to your Elixir this time. Otherwise, my injuries wouldn’t have healed so quickly."

Looking at the captivating woman before him, ripples stirred in his heart.

After taking a Divine Movement Pill to escape Shen Daoxing’s pursuit, Mo Yunlei had run into Nalan Rongruo.

Because Nalan Rongruo was engaged to Xia Junze, she took great care of anyone from Celestial City Academy.

When she saw the severely injured Mo Yunlei, she had given him a precious Healing Elixir without a second thought.

That was how his injuries had managed to recover in such a short amount of time.

And after spending these last few days together, Mo Yunlei had developed a fondness for this gentle, kind, and stunningly beautiful woman.

Mo Yunlei sighed internally. ’Unfortunately, she’s already engaged to Xia Junze.’

Xia Junze was, after all, the number one genius of Celestial City Academy. He had even made it onto the Martial Arts Ranking and was the academy’s true hope and future.

’How could I possibly compete with him?’

A bitter feeling welled up in Mo Yunlei’s heart at the thought.

"Don’t mention it."

Nalan Rongruo smiled. "With your current cultivation, you’ll probably be able to break through to the Grotto Heaven Realm after training for a while outside, right?"

"That’s right."

Mo Yunlei clenched his fists, a cold glint in his eyes. "Once I reach the Grotto Heaven Realm, I’ll settle the score with that Shen Daoxing."

Nalan Rongruo pondered for a moment, then said, "That Shen Daoxing is an extraordinary genius himself. In my opinion, it would be better to leave him to Junze..."

Mo Yunlei had already suffered a defeat at Shen Daoxing’s hands, which proved Shen Daoxing’s remarkable strength. Besides, even if Mo Yunlei was improving, wasn’t it possible Shen Daoxing was as well?

Therefore, if Celestial City Academy wanted to deal with Shen Daoxing, their only option was to have the stronger Xia Junze take action.

There was nothing wrong with what Nalan Rongruo said.

But hearing it now, a flicker of anger ignited in Mo Yunlei’s heart. He thought darkly, ’Xia Junze, Xia Junze, all anyone ever sees is Xia Junze! Is there no place for me, Mo Yunlei?’

Ever since Xia Junze’s rise, he had captured everyone’s attention. Meanwhile, Mo Yunlei, a renowned genius in his own right, had been left in the cold.

Mo Yunlei hadn’t really minded before, but hearing these words from Nalan Rongruo now instantly sparked a trace of jealousy and resentment in his heart.

The two of them continued toward the exit of the True Dragon Secret Realm.

Just then, a genius from the Tang Kingdom approached from a distance. He was startled to see Nalan Rongruo and Mo Yunlei, then quickly said, "Miss Nalan, Mo, I just saw Shen Daoxing. He hasn’t left the True Dragon Secret Realm. It looks like he’s waiting for you at the entrance."

Hearing this, Mo Yunlei’s expression changed instantly. "What?"

He had just been talking about teaching Shen Daoxing a lesson, but that was for after he broke through to the Grotto Heaven Realm.

Having witnessed Shen Daoxing’s terrifying power, Mo Yunlei knew he was absolutely no match for him now.

Nalan Rongruo’s delicate brows furrowed. "How can that Shen Daoxing be so domineering? He’s already gained such a huge advantage, does he really have to push things to a fatal conclusion?"

Mo Yunlei’s face was a mixture of fear and uncertainty. He said, "I need to hide first."

Nalan Rongruo bit her lip and said, "It’s alright. I’ll have a good talk with him, reason with him."

"SWOOSH!"

Just then, an overwhelming Fist Force surged toward them from the distance.

It was aimed at the genius who had delivered the warning.

"Oh no—!"

The genius felt a chill as he sensed the aura erupting from afar and tried to run.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

A sharp cry rang out. The Fist Force accelerated by thirty percent, then slammed heavily into the genius’s body.

BOOM!

A deafening sound echoed as the genius’s body exploded into a bloody mist. Some of the blood spattered onto the ground, while the rest landed on Nalan Rongruo’s beautiful face.

At that moment, the source of the Fist Force descended from above. It was Shen Daoxing.

GASP—!

Mo Yunlei’s heart seized. He felt an icy chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

"You—!"

Nalan Rongruo wiped the warm blood from her face, her pretty features contorted with fury. "How could you kill an innocent person?"

"Kill an innocent person?!"

Shen Daoxing sneered. "He didn’t have to die. But he chose to stand against me..."

Nalan Rongruo wiped the blood from her face again, furious. "You’re a madman! A complete and utter madman! You killed him just for delivering a message?"

Shen Daoxing ignored Nalan Rongruo and looked at Mo Yunlei. "You’re not getting away this time."

"Run!"

Mo Yunlei felt Shen Daoxing’s killing intent, and the hair on his body stood on end. He turned and fled frantically into the distance.

"Trying to run!?"

Shen Daoxing extended his palm. The Primordial Energy in his body gathered like a great river, and he threw a punch forward.

BOOM!

A violent blast of energy howled forth, making the very air tremble and roar.

But Mo Yunlei was, after all, a master at the Ninth Layer of the Profound Platform Realm, not someone the Tang Kingdom genius could compare to. His body jolted as he activated his Bright King Body, and he threw a punch to counter Shen Daoxing’s Fist Force.

BANG!

The instant their fists collided, Mo Yunlei felt a powerful rebound force strike him. Using this force, his body shot into the distance like an arrow loosed from a bowstring.

"Hmm!?"

Shen Daoxing hadn’t expected Mo Yunlei to react so quickly, using the force of his own attack to escape.

"Wait!"

Just as Shen Daoxing was about to give chase, Nalan Rongruo blocked his path. "Shen Daoxing, when will this cycle of revenge end? You’ve already obtained the Bodhi Fruit and severely injured Mo Yunlei. You’ve gained both fame and fortune. In my opinion, why don’t you just..."

"Get lost!"

Hearing this, Shen Daoxing flicked his sleeve forcefully.

BOOM!

It seemed like a casual flick, but it carried the force of several thousand pounds, stirring up an incredibly domineering gust of wind.

Nalan Rongruo’s strength wasn’t weak; she had just entered the Eighth Layer of the Profound Platform Realm. However, that was only in comparison to average geniuses. When facing formidable talents like Mo Yunlei or Zhu Kai, her shortcomings were immediately obvious. Her practical combat skills were poor, her aura was unstable, and she was no match for Shen Daoxing whatsoever.

Seeing Shen Daoxing’s attack rushing toward her, she hastily circulated all the Primordial Energy in her body to form a shield in front of her.

THUD!

The gust of wind slammed viciously into Nalan Rongruo’s Primordial Energy barrier. Her barrier, as thin as paper, shattered in a single blow.

"Gah!"

The remaining force continued toward Nalan Rongruo. Her body flew back like a kite with a snapped string, smashing heavily into a tree before a Blood Arrow shot from her mouth.

"You..."

She had just started to speak when she saw that Shen Daoxing was already chasing after Mo Yunlei.
