Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 24: If Unworthy, Then Kill

Originally, Ye Tianling had thought that the Dragon Soul Inheritance and its corresponding Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique were already a heaven-sent opportunity.

But he never imagined that this Grandmaster Dugu Qiubai had actually studied so many Unparalleled Martial Arts Manuals on Earth!

That was how he had created the Nine Swords of Dugu and its corresponding Heart Method.

Right now, it was still difficult to make progress cultivating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, but these other Martial Arts were different.

With the abundance of Spiritual Qi on the Sword Dao Continent, the Cultivation environment was hundreds of times better than on that ’Earth’. Cultivating here would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.

Dugu Qiubai had been limited by his constitution, age, and other factors, preventing him from cultivating many Cultivation Techniques.

But Ye Tianling was different. He had undergone Dragon Blood Body Refining, possessed a powerful physical body, and had heaven-defying meridians.

He could cultivate all of these techniques, and there would be absolutely no flaws or conflicts between them.

At this moment, as Ye Tianling circulated the Divine Hundred Transformations Body Technique, he began to comprehend the Wave-Riding Light Step Body Technique.

This Wave-Riding Light Step involved knowledge of the Qian Kun Eight Trigrams, which, in turn, allowed him to analyze this World’s Arrays from a completely different angle and perspective.

Ye Tianling quickly became engrossed, almost forgetting the dangers of his surroundings.

His Divine Hundred Transformations Body Technique also began to merge with the Wave-Riding Light Step, and his movements gradually grew more profound and mysterious.

Suddenly, Ye Tianling stopped, his expression turning grim.

Not far ahead, the thick scent of blood drifted over.

The CLANG CLANG of fighting could be heard intermittently.

Ye Tianling used the Turtle Breath Technique to conceal his aura and stealthily approached using the Wave-Riding Light Step Body Technique.

...

"Lin Xueqin, what is the meaning of this? I was clearly the one who discovered and heavily wounded this Profound Tier Lower Grade Flower-Spotted Clouded Leopard. Do you have no shame, suddenly swooping in to steal it?"

A youth in green swordsman attire roared angrily.

As he spoke, he continued to battle Lin Xueqin with his sword.

"Heh, so what if you discovered and wounded it, Chu Shaocheng? Can you call it and make it answer you? If ’finders keepers’ applied to wounded beasts, what would be the point of being strong? This Clouded Leopard’s tendons, Beast Blood, and Beast Pill are all mine!"

The girl named Lin Xueqin was about fifteen years old, with an extremely alluring figure.

She had already reached the Sword Beginning Third Heaven Realm, and her strength was a cut above the green-robed youth, Chu Shaocheng.

She sneered as she rebuked him.

Chu Shaocheng was so enraged by her words that the veins on his face bulged. "Lin Xueqin, are you trying to make an enemy of my Chu Family? I’ve already yielded to you many times!"

Lin Xueqin sneered, "You? Yielded to me? How ridiculous! You’re sixteen, aren’t you? You haven’t even comprehended how to step into the Sword Qi Realm, yet you think you can represent the Chu Family? You are you, and the Chu Family is the Chu Family!"

Chu Shaocheng’s expression immediately turned ugly.

"I advise you to stop fighting, or I won’t be so polite. Did you think I wouldn’t dare kill you out here in the wilderness? If you die, why would the Chu Family trouble me over a worthless corpse?"

Lin Xueqin said mockingly.

But the sword in Chu Shaocheng’s hand grew faster and stronger. "If that’s the case, let’s settle this with our skills and see who the strong one really is!"

As they spoke, Ye Tianling could no longer conceal his presence.

"PFFT—"

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Who’s there?!"

Chu Shaocheng was startled. ’Someone got this close without me even noticing?’

The thought alone made his heart pound with fear.

Similarly, Lin Xueqin became extremely vigilant.

She looked at Ye Tianling, her gaze filled with apprehension.

By now, the sun was out and shining brightly, so the ’face’ Ye Tianling was wearing was beginning to show some tell-tale signs.

Seeing his appearance and remembering that they were in Forbidden Moon Mountain, Lin Xueqin’s eyes instantly lit up.

She was very clever and clearly figured out Ye Tianling’s identity in an instant.

Her heart suddenly pounded with excitement. ’Ye Tianling has a bounty on his head! If I can capture him and take his head, I’ll get all of those rich rewards for myself!’

At this thought, her heart began to race. A flash of ecstasy crossed her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

"You two want to see who’s stronger? You’re both weak. This Flower-Spotted Clouded Leopard’s blood, Beast Pill, and everything else belong to me. You can get lost!"

Ye Tianling declared domineeringly.

"Ye Tianxing? So it’s you! But your aura is so strong now. Are you in the Sword Qi Realm already?"

Chu Shaocheng didn’t notice anything unusual. He had been in Forbidden Moon Mountain for several days and was unaware of the events that had transpired with the Ye Race.

"Yep, Sword Qi Realm. I’m quite powerful now. You want to make an enemy of me?"

Ye Tianling said with a grin.

The blood of these Fierce Beasts was a great supplement for the transformation of his Dragon Blood. Ye Tianling truly needed it.

As for Lin Xueqin, not only did Ye Tianling have a bad impression of her, but in his memories, this girl had bullied him several times.

"Forget it. Your Realm is much higher than mine, so you deserve the spoils. It’s better that you get it than Lin Xueqin."

Chu Shaocheng sighed softly and took several steps back, choosing not to oppose Ye Tianling.

Lin Xueqin, however, let her beautiful eyes wander and said, "How about we split it evenly? To avoid any bad blood."

Her sudden change in attitude made Chu Shaocheng look at her strangely.

However, Ye Tianling knew she had seen through his disguise. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ye Tianling sneered inwardly. He ignored Lin Xueqin and instead looked at Chu Shaocheng. "Chu Shaocheng, what do you think of this Lin Xueqin? How about I leave her for you as a handmaiden?"

Although Lin Xueqin was quite pretty, Ye Tianling didn’t think much of her at all.

The girl had an air of affectation, arrogance, and self-importance.

This feeling displeased Ye Tianling.

Coupled with his prior bad feelings toward her, he naturally wouldn’t be polite.

Chu Shaocheng thought Ye Tianling was deliberately humiliating Lin Xueqin and felt a sense of vindictive pleasure. He immediately chimed in, "How could I possibly be interested in someone like her? I’d find her disgusting even if she were served to me on a platter."

Hearing this, Lin Xueqin flew into a rage. "Insolent! How dare you humiliate me like this? Chu Shaocheng, you’re courting death!"

Chu Shaocheng sneered, his face full of ridicule.

Ye Tianling said nonchalantly, "Since you’re not interested either, there’s no point in keeping her around. I’ll just kill her."

As Ye Tianling spoke, a Fiery Sun Sword suddenly flew out from the Qiankun Ring on his finger.

After grabbing the Fiery Sun Sword, Ye Tianling thrust it forward in a single motion.

It was fast and vicious, like a bolt of crimson lightning.

With Ye Tianling’s current Body Technique, speed, and strength at the Sword Qi Third Heaven Perfection Realm, the outcome was complete annihilation!

"PFFT—"

With a single thrust, the Fiery Sun Sword pierced straight through the center of Lin Xueqin’s brow and out the back of her head.

Lin Xueqin’s beautiful eyes widened, filled with utter disbelief and a creeping terror.

She clearly never imagined that someone as beautiful, charming, and ethereal as herself would be killed in such a manner!

"Ye Tianling—"

She mumbled, forcing out three final, resentful syllables from her throat before her head tilted to the side and she died.

Her body collapsed, her eyes wide open in death.

"Uh—you—you—"

Chu Shaocheng stammered, completely stunned.

Ye Tianling paid it no mind. He knew that after being exposed to the sun and having his identity called out by Lin Xueqin, this mask was now useless.

But now that he had the informational inheritance regarding Dugu Qiubai’s Disguise Technique, he was no longer worried about it.

Ye Tianling casually peeled the false human-skin mask from his face, revealing his original appearance.

"So it really is you! Worthy Brother Tianling, long time no see! Is this... has your Talent Awakened?"

Chu Shaocheng exclaimed, his tone quite emotional.

"Yes, it has awakened. But, you don’t know about my situation?"

Ye Tianling asked, surprised.

"Your situation? What situation? You mean your Innate Deficiency? I know about that."

As Chu Shaocheng spoke, he glanced at Lin Xueqin’s body on the ground.

A slight look of pity appeared in his eyes, but his overall emotions remained largely unchanged.
