Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 246: Blood of the Dragon Race, Starting with You

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Blood of the Dragon Race, Starting with You

"That’s Saint Child Ouyang Tianqi. His bloodline inheritance is the Blood Sacrifice Heaven-defying Technique, a Heaven-defying Dao method that is incredibly vicious and terrifying. Otherwise, why do you think the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land, a Holy Land of women, would recruit a male Saint Child?"

"Wouldn’t such a Cultivation Technique, combined with the nigh-immortal Returning Butterfly Cocoon Technique, be the perfect match? You use a Secret Technique to defy the heavens, get killed by the Celestial Dao, then are reborn through Nirvana, with your battle power improving and transforming every single time?"

"Exactly. That’s what makes it so heaven-defying and dominant!"

"Well, this is getting interesting. For someone with his Talent and Inference Ability to actually favor Ye Tianling? Even at the risk of offending Long Cangqian? Now we’ve got a real show to watch!"

"Heh, haven’t you all noticed? Many of the Unparalleled Saint Sons and Half-step Divine Children haven’t taken a side. You think they came here for Long Cangqian?"

"Then why are they here? For the battle between Ye Tianling and Long Cangqian?"

"No—Long Cangqian is nothing to worry about. The real main event should be the fight with Long Fengyang."

"What—How is that possible?"

"Why wouldn’t it be? Long Fengyang himself admitted that he made all these grand preparations for Ye Tianling. For a man as cunning and calculating as him to do that, it proves Ye Tianling must be extremely powerful. As for where that power comes from, I have no idea. But, we just have to wait and see!"

"If that’s the case, he’s truly a stunning talent, completely worthy of the title of Divine Child! To call this kind of person a defective product? Long Fengyang must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!"

"Heh, there’s no need for us to speculate on the cause and effect of it all. We’ll gain a lot just by observing Divine Child Tianling’s unparalleled Sword Dao."

...

The discussions among the Saint Son and Saintess, the True Disciples, and the unparalleled Loose Cultivators were all encompassed by Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent.

He could see and hear everything around him, allowing him to maintain constant and precise surveillance of his surroundings.

Only in this way could he maintain control of the entire situation.

’This man is no simple character.’

Ye Tianling gave Ouyang Tianqi a deep look, then his gaze fell upon Wang Congjie. "Now, it’s your turn," he said. "Do you want to fight?"

Wang Congjie had naturally heard some of the crowd’s discussion and had just witnessed the ’retreat’ of Ouyang Tianqi, a Half-step Divine Son of his generation. His heart instantly grew heavy.

Wan Linmo’s expression was just as cold. Though he felt utterly humiliated, as if his Saint Child was nothing but trash, he ultimately had no intention of acting personally.

He still cared about his status and didn’t want to become a laughingstock for bullying someone younger.

As for the other Saint Children, not many were much stronger than Carefree Dustless had been. How could he, the Saint Master, not be aware of this?

Therefore, he didn’t dare send the Saint Children out for revenge. If another one were killed, the loss of a disciple would be a small matter. Becoming the biggest joke of the event and disgracing the Holy Land—that was the real problem.

"Are you confident?"

Wan Linmo gave Ma Liang an inscrutable look. Ultimately unwilling to give up, he asked the First Saint Son, Ma Liang.

Ma Liang shook his head slightly. "He’s too strong. I can’t beat him. Although I have trump cards to boost my battle power enough to fight a Sword Ancestor or even a Half-step Saint, it’s not worth revealing them in front of all these Saint Children.

"Besides, he’s only revealing his because his back is against the wall, and he clearly still has powerful trump cards in reserve. If we were to compete based on hidden techniques, I might not be able to defeat him.

"Fighting to a stalemate where we both suffer heavy losses would bring me no benefit. The path to the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb is still ahead, full of heaven-defying opportunities, and the Divine Dao Era is dawning. I don’t want to fight him now and leave myself half-crippled... In that sense, Ouyang Tianqi’s judgment was spot-on.

"I imagine it’s not just me; many people are now unwilling to make an enemy of him."

Ma Liang’s voice was very soft.

Moreover, he had spoken using a voice transmission technique.

But it was still within Ye Tianling’s perception.

This wasn’t due to his Soul Talent.

Rather, it was because Little Dragon Girl had fully augmented Ye Tianling’s soul with the monitoring capabilities of the Mechanical Heart. As a result, Ye Tianling was like a living supercomputer; no action on the scene could escape his senses.

"Fine... Then we’ll back down."

Wan Linmo took a deep breath, his gaze complicated.

He was now starting to regret being so quick to expel Ye Tianling from the Myriad Swords Sect!

Otherwise, this would have been a heaven-sent opportunity for the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land!

He let out a strange sigh. Those who didn’t know any better would have assumed he was lamenting the tragic death of Carefree Dustless.

The Saint Son and Saintess who could guess his thoughts, however, cast complicated glances at Wan Jianyun and Die Xiyue.

Ma Liang also sighed, then walked gently over to Wan Jianyun and Die Xiyue and helped them up from the ground.

Wan Jianyun was rather flattered, but Die Xiyue already understood the situation, and the expression on her pretty face was exceptionally complex.

"Rest assured, no one will give you any more trouble."

Ma Liang’s voice was gentle.

Wan Jianyun nodded and bowed. "Thank you, Saint Son Liang."

Die Xiyue, however, merely nodded slightly without saying much.

Instead, her beautiful eyes turned toward Ye Tianling in the distance, filled with shock, infatuation, shame, and guilt.

’Just a while ago, I was thinking about how I would temper his personality and teach him to know his place.’ 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

’Thinking about it now, how laughable was that idea?’

’The one who didn’t know her place was me, Die Xiyue.’

As she looked at Ye Tianling, the infatuation, admiration, and worship in her eyes began to intensify. Her maiden heart was completely captivated by his cold, domineering, and untamable visage and aura.

...

Ye Tianling retracted the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and gently wiped the blood from its blade.

Then, he began to walk forward, step by step.

Wherever he passed, the crowd parted even further.

"Long Yunyue, you wanted a fight? Get out here! The blood of the Dragon Race will start flowing with you!"

Ye Tianling roared and suddenly took to the air. Each step he took seemed to manifest the rhythm of the Dao as he brandished the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and charged directly at Long Yunyue.

"A fight it is, then! You think I’m afraid of you?!"

Long Yunyue had already made his boastful claims.

Now, even though he was extremely wary, his expression grave, and a sense of crisis exploding in his heart, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step up.

"Ye Tianling, I admit I underestimated you, you cripple! But you think you can defy the heavens just because you’ve cobbled together some trump cards and killing techniques at the paltry Half-step Sword Spirit Realm? How can a tiny insect like you possibly make any waves?"

Long Yunyue calmed himself. His expression was grave, and though his words were taunts, he was already gathering his inner reserves to enhance his battle power.

With Ye Tianling’s unparalleled mastery of the Sword Dao, capable of slaying a Saint Child in a single strike, Long Yunyue knew that if he didn’t bring out his strongest techniques, he wouldn’t last a single exchange!

If he were slain in a single strike, his name would be infamous for millennia, a complete laughingstock even in death!

’No, I can’t die! How could I even entertain such a thought!’

WENG—

Long Yunyue violently crushed that terrifying thought and simultaneously unleashed his Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique, manifesting a Dragon Soul Illusion.

The illusion solidified as he unleashed its supreme soul might, attempting to crush Ye Tianling directly!

His reasoning was clear: Ye Tianling’s battle power might be unparalleled, but his realm was low, and his soul, having been subjected to Soul Slash, must be incredibly weak.

Little did Long Yunyue know, however, that engaging Ye Tianling in a Soul Battle was no different from seeking death!
