Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Kill! Kill

"Remnant of the Sword Institute, die!"

An icy glint flashed in Luo Fei’s eyes, his entire aura surging. A dazzling cyan light shot from his body into the sky.

Luo Fei leaped up, grasping the cyan light from the sky. Like a Sword Immortal descending from the heavens, he slashed down with the cyan longsword in his hand.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

In an instant, seven brilliant rays of light shot down at lightning speed.

"Seven Sword Intents!"

The Celestial City Academy disciples couldn’t help but gasp in awe. "Teacher Luo truly lives up to his reputation as one of our academy’s A Class teachers! He’s already comprehended seven Sword Intents."

Celestial City Academy had over a dozen teachers, with a wide gap in strength between them. They were divided into A, B, and C classes, with A Class being the most elite. Both Luo Fei and Wang Hu—the one who had greeted Shen Daoxing earlier—were elite A Class teachers.

Luo Fei, however, was even a little stronger than Wang Hu.

The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince walked up from the foot of the mountain. Seeing this, the Eldest Prince shook his head.

"Luo Fei is a Fourth Layer Grotto Heaven master who has been immersed in that realm for many years. He’s incredibly experienced, and his Seven-String Sword Intent is masterfully executed. No matter how much of a genius Shen Daoxing is, he’s bound to lose this time. He’s just too young. Since he was lucky enough to survive his ordeal, why not just lay low? He should have focused on improving his strength in secret and waited until he was powerful enough to seek revenge."

"That’s right!"

The Seventh Prince at his side nodded. He had to admit he’d underestimated Shen Daoxing when they first met. The man was an absolute genius, on par with Xia Junze. If given the chance, he would have definitely tried to recruit him.

It was just a shame his temperament was so lacking. With such talent, if he’d just laid low and secretly improved his strength, how could he possibly fail to get his revenge one day!

Unfortunately, Shen Daoxing was going to die here today.

However, the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince had barely finished speaking.

"Anyone who stands in my way dies!"

Shen Daoxing stared coldly at Luo Fei and swung his Great Ming Demon Sparrow.

Four Symbols Sword Technique: Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning.

A piercing ray of sword light exploded into existence, then descended.

A gale suddenly swept across the entire training grounds. Sizzling sparks of lightning and torrents of rain erupted from Shen Daoxing’s massive sword.

At the same time, red flames, a golden sword light, and a cold, dark aura appeared.

Blazing Sword Intent!

Geng Metal Sword Intent!

Dark Sword Intent!

Three ferocious Sword Intents then shot from Shen Daoxing’s body like soaring dragons, rushing toward the heavens.

"Eight Sword Intents! Shen Daoxing has already comprehended eight of them! That’s even more than Luo Fei!"

The Celestial City Academy disciples present were all stunned. Before their shock could even fade, their eyes widened in disbelief once more.

Because!

BOOM!

A deafening roar.

Before the Four Symbols Sword Technique’s fusion of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, Luo Fei’s colorful Sword Intent was as fragile as paper, shattering on impact.

Blazing Fire, Geng Metal, and Darkness!

The three sharp, imposing Sword Intents followed right behind.

Luo Fei’s eyes widened in shock. He hastily swung his sword to block.

CLANG!

With a sharp crack, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

"GASP! Teacher Luo, a Fourth Layer Grotto Heaven expert, couldn’t even block a single strike from Shen Daoxing!"

The disciples drew a collective sharp breath, staring at Shen Daoxing in utter astonishment.

?!

The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince froze, staring at each other in astonishment.

’Shen Daoxing is this powerful!’

At the same time, regret flooded their hearts. They lamented not trying to recruit this genius back at the Celestial Joy Tower, instead making an enemy of him.

"How dare you!"

Seeing that Luo Fei alone couldn’t stop Shen Daoxing, three other teachers stepped forward, surrounding him from all sides.

Only Wang Hu remained where he was, his expression complex. ’In the end,’ he thought, ’it was our Celestial City Academy that coveted his Cultivation Technique. We were the ones in the wrong first. How could I possibly have the nerve to attack him?’

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince at the side began to laugh. "So much for Celestial City Academy’s dignity as the Martial Kingdom’s number one academy."

The Eldest Prince sighed and shook his head. "Four Grotto Heaven experts ganging up on him... Celestial City Academy is dead set on eliminating Shen Daoxing. What a pity, what a true pity. No matter how strong or powerful he is, there’s no way he’s walking out of here alive."

However, the words had barely left his mouth when he realized he was about to be proven wrong yet again.

For, even under the combined assault of three Celestial City Academy teachers, Shen Daoxing moved with light steps, his form blurring into a series of afterimages as he broke through their encirclement with an uncanny Body Technique.

Keep in mind, these three teachers were all true Grotto Heaven masters, elites of A Class or B Class. Yet they still couldn’t stop Shen Daoxing—and he was even carrying Lin Haitao on his back.

"Shen Daoxing, don’t even think you’re walking out of Celestial City Academy today! I’ll see you dead!"

Luo Fei felt utterly humiliated, having lost all face in front of his students. The cyan light around his body flared violently. With a WHOOSH, he shot into the sky, transforming into a massive, sharp ray of sword light that hurtled toward Shen Daoxing with world-splitting power.

The other three teachers also launched into the air, closing in on him with ferocious auras.

"It’s over! Celestial City Academy is getting serious!"

The Eldest Prince was startled. "This time, Shen Daoxing is really..."

But he stopped himself mid-sentence. Shen Daoxing had proven him wrong so many times already that he no longer dared to trust his own judgment.

"Scram!"

Shen Daoxing gazed at the people surrounding him. They were dead set on killing him.

Shen Daoxing’s expression turned frigid. No longer holding back, he unleashed the power of the Seven-Colored Profound Platform within his body, its light flaring brilliantly.

Forbidden Sword Technique! Heaven-Reaching Fire!

His aura suddenly skyrocketed as he swung the Great Ming Demon Sparrow.

An immense, unstoppable tide of red energy erupted from Shen Daoxing, soaring into the sky like a cataclysmic tidal wave. The temperature across the training grounds instantly shot up by several degrees, and the sky itself turned crimson as if it were on fire.

"Hm?"

Luo Fei was horrified. He felt as if he were trapped in a blazing Purgatory. He froze, desperately wanting to retreat, but when he looked down, he saw his entire body was already enveloped by the overwhelming crimson tide. His hands and feet were melting like beeswax.

"AAAAARGH!"

"AAAAAARGH!"

"ARGH!"

The other teachers hadn’t even had time to react. Engulfed in the crimson flood, they twisted and shrieked in agony as their bodies burned, their faces melting into an unrecognizable, gruesome mess.

Within a few breaths, Luo Fei and the other three teachers had completely melted away in the all-consuming flames.

"GASP!"

Wang Hu, who was standing outside the training grounds, felt his heart pound in terror. He was immensely relieved he hadn’t joined the attack.

"Anyone else? If you’re looking to die, just come."

Shen Daoxing’s cold gaze swept over the crowd.

"This..."

The nearby disciples’ eyes were wide with shock. They glanced at one another, but no one dared to step forward and stop him.

"Xu Hu, didn’t you say yesterday it was a shame Shen Daoxing died on the Martial Kingdom’s border and you couldn’t kill him yourself? Now’s your chance. Go on, get up there!"

"Why don’t you go?"

"*Ahem*... I seem to have caught a bit of a cold today. It’s not a good day for me to fight!"

"..."

Seeing that no one else dared to come forward, Shen Daoxing smirked and leisurely walked off the training grounds.
