Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 214 Are you guys tired of the same old competition routine yet?
Qian Yourong’s Martial Arts Cultivation wasn’t high; it was only at the Heavenly Realm. Previously, she could rely on assets like the Energy Cannon to kill her enemies, but she had just returned all of them to the Qian Family. When Ning Xuan told her she could now decide the life and death of a King Realm Martial Artist, she was naturally thrilled.
Ning Xuan also smiled. "And that’s not all."
He immediately taught Qian Yourong the Dharma. At first, Qian Yourong was smiling, but her expression quickly grew serious, her relaxed demeanor replaced by incredible focus. After she heard everything, her beautiful eyes widened in shock. She had originally thought Ning Xuan was just going through the motions to make her happy, but she quickly realized something was very wrong with that assumption.
The Dharma Ning Xuan taught her was a Dao Xuan Technique! It was completely different from the ones the major families had spent countless years and resources researching. This one was genuinely powerful. With Yun Wangshu’s assistance, even she could use it to kill people.
Ning Xuan asked her, "So? How is it?"
"I... I’ll give it a try..." Qian Yourong said, sounding uncharacteristically uncertain.
The Qian Family’s talent for Martial Arts was poor, which was why they had always sought alternative paths to power. Although the Dao Xuan Technique Ning Xuan had given her was simple and easy to understand, she still felt an inexplicable lack of confidence.
Her hesitation, however, provided a glimmer of hope to the few remaining warriors who had been enraged and despairing only moments before. Ning Xuan had to have some Secret Technique to wield a Dao Xuan Technique with such terrifying power. Surely the version Qian Yourong had just crammed for wouldn’t be effective at all. The Qian Family wasn’t even proficient in basic Martial Arts, so letting her use a Dao Xuan Technique? It was a joke.
"Wait! If we can survive her... Dao Xuan Technique, will you spare our lives?" one of them stammered. Fearing Ning Xuan would refuse, the others hurriedly chimed in, "Don’t worry, we won’t resist!"
Ning Xuan didn’t answer, instead looking toward Qian Yourong.
Qian Yourong was furious, and the last shred of doubt in her heart instantly vanished. She activated the Dharma.
Then, a sword light descended from the sky.
It was nowhere near as powerful as when Ning Xuan used it, but it could still kill.
PFFT!
The man who had just spoken was obliterated before his words had even faded.
Everyone was stunned. The Dao Xuan Technique Ning Xuan had taught Qian Yourong could actually kill? Holy cow! How could it be so outrageous? How were the major families, who had spent decades studying this, supposed to feel?
Qian Yourong herself was shocked. She had never imagined she would actually succeed.
"Did... did I do that?" she murmured, a look of utter disbelief on her face.
Ning Xuan nodded with a smile. Normally, a novice like Qian Yourong, having just learned his Dao Xuan Technique, couldn’t possibly possess such a heaven-defying ability. But with the energy boiling in the sky above, as long as it was properly guided, it could unleash terrifying power.
Regaining her senses, Qian Yourong was incredibly excited. She struck again, and another person was immediately wiped out.
"Haha, good! I agree to your terms! You can resist! It’s no fun if you don’t!"
Having completely regained her confidence, Qian Yourong was ecstatic.
"Big Brother, I also want to..." At Ning Xuan’s side, a chubby Qian Duoduo stared with envious, pleading eyes.
"Scram!" Ning Xuan laughed as he cursed.
The Dharma he taught Qian Yourong was, strictly speaking, a shortcut that leveraged Yun Wangshu’s Primordial Dao Xuan Technique. Since Qian Yourong and Yun Wangshu would likely become very close in the future, Ning Xuan saw no harm in teaching her. But teaching it to Qian Duoduo? That was out of the question. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Alrighty!" Qian Duoduo was actually just joking. Despite his usual focus on eating, the chubby kid was quite clever. He laughed and agreed, then immediately put on a pitiful expression. "Aun... cough, cough, Big Brother, I don’t have a home anymore."
Damn it! That was close. I almost called him ’Uncle-in-law’!
Dark lines appeared on Ning Xuan’s forehead. What is this guy thinking?!
"Chubby, you’d better go back and apologize. Otherwise, when your dad gets here, he’ll definitely beat you half to death."
But the chubby kid just laughed. "My dad wouldn’t do that. Wow, Auntie is so powerful!"
He was in the middle of his reply when he saw another martial artist, who was about to lash out, get obliterated.
Ning Xuan shook his head, ignoring him and turning back to Qian Yourong.
"Didn’t you all enjoy bullying women? Why have you turned into a bunch of shrinking turtles now?" Thoroughly confident, Qian Yourong openly challenged the remaining warriors.
Her words immediately made the women, including the younger girls, like her immensely. Even Wu Pianpian remained silent, ceding the spotlight to her. It had taken tremendous courage for Qian Yourong to stand up and help in that situation, especially since it led to her breaking away from the Qian Family. This completely disarmed Wu Pianpian’s temper.
"You bitch—"
PFFT!
Before the man could finish, Qian Yourong obliterated him.
Watching Qian Yourong kill them as easily as slaughtering chickens, a flush of excitement on her pretty face, made Ning Xuan very happy. But, predictably, someone clueless had to come and spoil the fun.
He knit his brow and looked toward the void, where a figure appeared. It was the Enforcer from before, but this time, it was his true form.
"It seems you haven’t learned your lesson," Ning Xuan said. "Though, sending just one person... you’re underestimating us quite a bit." He was quite disappointed to see only one person arrive.
"The nerve of this guy! All talk!"
"Exactly! The Enforcer’s true form is here this time, and he’s much more terrifying than his Dao Body!"
In the distance, many people were whispering among themselves. A martial artist from one of the major families smirked. Hmph! This little bastard truly doesn’t know his own limits!
Others were certain. "Since the Enforcer dares to come alone, he must be carrying a trump card!"
But then, they were all stunned.
"Young Master Ning, please don’t take action. I’m not here to fight," the Enforcer said, his voice urgent.
The listeners’ eyes widened, suspecting they had misheard.
What’s going on? Why is even the Enforcer backing down? And didn’t that little beast just obliterate his Dao Body? He’s practically taking a dump on his head, and he’s caving! Damn it! Is this still the Heavenly Palace we know?
"What are you here for if not to fight? Get lost!"
When they heard Ning Xuan’s irritated reply, they felt a desperate urge to take the Enforcer’s place and give Ning Xuan a beating themselves.
Some martial artists from the major families breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Enforcer surely can’t hold back anymore!
Then, they eagerly waited for the Enforcer to make his move.
Instead, they were left completely dumbfounded. Despite being insulted so badly, the Enforcer wasn’t angry at all. In fact, he was still smiling cheerfully.
"Hehe, of course, I have good news for you. The Palace Master has allowed you to participate in the Contest of the Ten Clans."
Finally, the others started to catch on. No wonder the Enforcer was being so submissive. This was good; the Contest of the Ten Clans could proceed safely.
But then, they realized they had still underestimated Ning Xuan.
"What era is this? You’re still playing these outdated competition games. Aren’t you tired of it? I’ve decided not to participate."
As soon as Ning Xuan spoke...
