Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 207: Was this guy a troublemaker in his past life?
A hand had caught his Dao Xuan Spear, one formed by a Dao Xuan Technique!
The hand that acted did not belong to Ning Xuan. It was a Stone Hand.
The shattered bluestone slabs had formed a Stone Hand. It lacked a body, yet its strength was terrifying. His Dao Xuan Spear had been but a hair’s breadth away from assassinating Ning Xuan, but beneath this Stone Hand, that hair’s breadth became an insurmountable gulf.
The attacker was an elder. When he realized that the person who had blocked his attack—a Dao Xuan Master using just a single Stone Hand—was actually a woman, his expression instantly turned hideous.
"How dare you!"
With a low shout, ripples emanated from his body, and the Dao Xuan Spear began to solidify from its ethereal form. The Stone Hand was cracking, on the verge of shattering. Seeing this, the other Dao Xuan Masters who had been about to act chose to wait.
"Rise," Yun Wangshu uttered softly, her expression impassive as she lifted her right hand in a placid gesture.
Instantly, six bluestone slabs on the ground rose and connected. She then clenched her fist.
BOOM!
The slabs exploded. In their place, the Stone Hand now had a body. A stone golem the height of a man took shape and crushed the elder’s Dao Xuan Spear in a single grasp!
SPURT!
Ripples emanated from behind the elder; he had used his Primordial Source. With his Dao Xuan Spear shattered, his Primordial Source was wounded. The elder spat out a mouthful of blood, shot a final glance at Yun Wangshu, and fainted.
"Third Grandpa!"
"Father!"
Shouts of alarm rose from behind, and someone immediately supported the elder and led him away.
"Aren’t you a Dao Xuan clan? Is there no one more capable among you?" Ning Xuan’s voice suddenly rang out, a blow designed not just to wound, but to humiliate.
The elder who had feigned fainting convulsed violently. After a surge of blood and qi, his body stiffened and then went limp. This time, he had truly fainted.
"You arrived filled with killing intent and dared to be insolent. Don’t blame us for what comes next!"
With that self-righteous declaration, six members of the Wu Family stepped forward in unison. Although their opponent’s Dao Xuan Master was a woman, she was clearly profound and unfathomable. As for Ning Xuan’s combat strength, they had already heard about the incident with the Molin Army. The woman in red was also remarkably calm; she was undoubtedly no ordinary person. The Wu Family felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless.
"Trying to bully the few with your numbers? Bring it on!" Wu Pianpian brandished her long spear, her fighting spirit soaring.
Just as she was about to charge, Ning Xuan stopped her.
"Easy there, ’Senior Brother’. You take a breather. They’re Dao Xuan Masters, so it’s only right we face them with Dao Xuan Techniques."
After a moment of stunned silence, Wu Pianpian retorted irritably, "Are you just going to let Wangshu wear herself out?"
Ning Xuan smiled and stepped forward. "No, I’ll be in front."
"You’ll be in front? What kind of position is that?" Wu Pianpian blurted out.
Ning Xuan’s face was covered in black lines. Yun Wangshu’s body also jolted, and the stone golem nearly collapsed.
The six members of the Wu Family who had stepped forward were enraged.
"Flirting right in front of us! Are you ignoring our presence?!"
"This is the Wu Family! This is preposterous!"
"Shameless degenerates! What a disgrace to public decency!"
In the midst of their furious shouts, all six attacked at once.
BOOM! RUMBLE—
In the sky above, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Behind them, the other members of the Wu Family were startled at first, then their faces filled with delight. Some even began to exclaim.
"Wow, Second Grandpa’s Dao Xuan Technique has improved again!"
"Third Uncle’s has too!"
"They’ve all gotten stronger! How else could they cause a celestial phenomenon before they’ve even truly attacked?"
Their words left the six attackers baffled. What was happening? Had their combined Dao Xuan Techniques produced such a miraculous effect?
But, no matter. The most important thing now is to kill the three of them! Everything else could be investigated later.
"Ning Xuan, the Wu Family will not be humiliated!" the man in the lead bellowed, his shout reverberating across the lands.
At this, many people in Tianxia City were startled and immediately began heading toward the Wu Family estate. Some were incredibly excited.
"Good heavens, Ning Xuan is at it again!"
"Let’s go, let’s go! The Wu Family is a Dao Xuan lineage! They have so many Dao Xuan Techniques. Even Martial Artists at the peak of the King Realm find them troublesome and would rather take a detour. Otherwise, they’d be worn down to death!"
"I’m coming too! Me too!"
Countless people began making their way toward the Wu Family. On a long street, Qian Yourong put down the hairpin in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. Qian Fanfan’s expression beside her was much the same.
"Holy moly, was this guy a menace in his past life? He’s way too good at causing trouble!" Qian Fanfan was simply speechless.
Even Qian Yourong felt a headache coming on. It hadn’t been long, yet he had already run off to the Wu Family. Fanfan was right—he was an absolute troublemaker!
"Auntie, let’s go and see!" Qian Fanfan exclaimed, instantly excited as she pulled on Qian Yourong’s arm.
In truth, Qian Yourong needed no urging; she was even more eager to go than her niece.
「Elsewhere」
Chu Tian had been in the middle of apologizing to someone. He was contemplating Ning Xuan’s various actions in front of the City Lord Manor ruins when he finally had an epiphany. Distracted by his realization, he had accidentally bumped into someone. Just as he was apologizing, he heard the furious roar coming from the Wu Family’s direction.
After a moment of shock, he cursed out loud, "Damn! This guy..."
"You dare to curse at me?!" The street vendor, who had been about to let it go, was instantly infuriated and raised his hand to strike.
But one cold glance from Chu Tian sent the vendor stumbling back several steps, knocking over the stall behind him.
"So what if you’re a Martial Artist? Think you’re so great? Brothers! This guy is making trouble on our turf! Cursing at people and now he wants to get physical!"
As he spoke, the surrounding vendors swarmed them. Anxious to go and observe the master in action, Chu Tian found himself unable to explain and had no choice but to compensate them with Heavenly Crystals. And it wasn’t a small amount. Chu Tian was completely livid.
"Damn it! This time, I have to see what tricks you can pull. If this isn’t worth my Heavenly Crystals, I’ll make you pay!" Chu Tian grumbled, but he couldn’t hide the anticipation sparkling in his eyes.
「Within Tianxia City」
People from the other nine great clans were also on the move. The name Ning Xuan was renowned, and they wanted to see if he truly lived up to his reputation. The Sun Family, whose ancestral land had been burned, were particularly invested and sent several powerful experts. The humiliation of their ancestral land being burned was a debt they fully intended to repay. Originally, they planned to wait until after the competition between the Ten Clans, but it seemed that even if they didn’t go looking for trouble with Ning Xuan, the man himself would never stay quiet. They had to see for themselves what abilities he possessed and how many allies he had.
After all, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
Meanwhile, the Kong Family, on account of Kong Zhong, sent several members in disguise toward the Wu Family as well. If necessary, they would intervene to help Ning Xuan. After all, he was the only one who could save Kong Zhong’s life.
Because of a single sentence from the Wu Family, because of one name, all the great clans in Tianxia City were mobilized. This was a kind of honor, but for the current Wu Family, it was a disaster.
As the six men shouted in fury and attacked in unison, the expected outcome never materialized. Amidst the flashing lightning, a torrential downpour began! However, it didn’t fall on Ning Xuan’s group but crashed down upon the six attackers.
Someone in the back realized something was wrong and looked up. Their face went pale with horror, the hair on their body standing on end.
"Get clear! NOW!" someone shrieked, their voice trembling with fear.
