Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 351: Sword Dao Showdown! Who Will Reign Supreme?
"Heavens! Did I hear that right?"
"Am I dreaming? What did I just hear?"
"No way, he must be insane!"
At this moment, the surrounding martial artists were dumbfounded. Lin Xuan was actually going to use swordsmanship? He wanted to use swordsmanship against Gu Linfeng? What a joke!
They had made all sorts of guesses before. Some guessed that Lin Xuan would use the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist. Others speculated he would use the mysterious Dragon Palm. There were even guesses that he might use the Tyrannosaurus Spear, and some thought he might use his Anomalous Fire. But no matter what he used, they were sure he wouldn’t use swordsmanship.
No one dared to use swordsmanship in front of Gu Linfeng because his swordsmanship was simply too powerful. A single one of his sword strikes was enough to shock the entire Imperial City.
But now, Lin Xuan was actually going to use swordsmanship against him. Has he lost his mind? Is he still asleep and talking nonsense?
The Head of the Heavenly Dao Academy frowned. He couldn’t understand why Lin Xuan would choose to use swordsmanship.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master exclaimed, "Lin Xuan, don’t be careless! Use your Serpent Fist quickly, it’s your only chance."
The others also chimed in with their advice.
Ye Qingwu said, "That’s right, Junior Brother Lin, please don’t be reckless!"
Jian Wushuang added, "Lin Xuan, I know you’ve comprehended Sword Intent, but Gu Linfeng is different. He has also comprehended Sword Intent, and his is even stronger. Earlier, he instantly killed the Second Prince with a single strike, and he was a late-stage two-star martial artist. To use swordsmanship in front of him is to court death."
"Young Master Lin, you absolutely must not use swordsmanship!" Wan Tianming and Beichen pleaded. "You’d be better off using the Tyrannosaurus Spear. That weapon is extraordinarily powerful. If you use it, you’ll surely have a chance to win."
Bai Qianqian, Yu Shiqie, and Feng Qingxue were also completely baffled. What is going on? Weren’t we told Lin Xuan was going to use a fist technique? Why is he using swordsmanship now? What is this kid thinking?
The Celestial Sword Sect Leader furrowed his brow. Lin Xuan is being foolish! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Sect Leader Wan Huo sighed. He’s as arrogant as ever!
The Beiling Sect Leader sighed as well. Does he not understand how important this battle is? It’s not just about the honor of Great Xia, but about his own life and death! If Lin Xuan is defeated, Great Xia will be utterly disgraced. At that point, not even the Emperor will protect him. When the Celestial King comes to kill him, how will he possibly defend himself?
Clan Leader Yan frowned. Why would Lin Xuan be so impulsive at such a critical moment? The other sect leaders also shook their heads and sighed. They had helped Lin Xuan by blocking the Celestial King once, considering the favor repaid. If the Celestial King decided to act again, they would not intervene. After all, they didn’t dare to continuously provoke the Celestial King. They found it a great pity, especially now, watching Lin Xuan seemingly choose his own demise. This Lin Xuan is treating this far too lightly. He’s truly young, impetuous, and far too arrogant. He is going to suffer a terrible loss.
What? Lin Xuan is going to use swordsmanship? Chu Yue was dumbfounded, then she clenched her fists in excitement. Haha, this Lin Xuan is really asking for it. I can already imagine what a miserable end he’s going to meet.
「On the other side,」
The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion were gloating. "What an idiot! He is bound to lose."
"Foolish creature!" the Second Prince sneered. "Perhaps we won’t even need to lift a finger. Gu Linfeng will likely kill this Lin Xuan with a single sword strike."
The other spectators were also buzzing with discussion.
"What is Lin Xuan up to?"
"Didn’t they say he doesn’t use swordsmanship?"
"He’s too arrogant, too conceited. He’s probably going to lose this battle."
"If he loses, he will be branded a sinner for all time in Great Xia."
"Why is everyone so anxious? Lin Xuan hasn’t even made a move yet. Who knows, maybe his swordsmanship is exceptional."
"Maybe he can defeat Gu Linfeng with a single strike."
"Dream on. How much have you had to drink to be this wasted?"
"Lin Xuan has always been known for his physique, fist techniques, and palm techniques. In the Battle of the Hidden Dragon, he used the Serpent Fist and that mysterious Dragon Palm. It was by relying on these two ultimate skills that he dominated all the other geniuses and became the Champion Marquis. Now he’s abandoning his greatest strengths. If that isn’t foolish, what is?"
"Exactly! I’ve never heard of him practicing any swordsmanship before."
"I admit, it’s impressive that Lin Xuan comprehended Sword Intent, but it all depends on who you compare him to. Compared to us, he’s indeed formidable, but when compared to Gu Linfeng, he’s simply not worth mentioning."
The crowd was in a frenzy of discussion.
The Alchemy Masters from the Pill King’s lineage also sneered. This Lin Xuan is nothing but an attention-seeking clown.
Even the people from Liuyun Country were stunned. They looked at each other, at a loss for words. Why does this Champion Marquis seem like an idiot? He actually wants to compete with Gu Linfeng in swordsmanship! He’s really courting death! I had a little hope before, thinking this Champion Marquis might have some real skill, but now he just seems like a buffoon not worth a second glance. Is this the best that Great Xia’s strongest talent has to offer? What a disappointment.
Even Gu Linfeng was taken aback. He asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice, "Are you certain you want to compete with me in swordsmanship?"
Lin Xuan nodded. "That’s right. What, are you scared? If you don’t have the guts, you can just concede now."
Many in the crowd covered their faces, feeling utterly humiliated on his behalf.
Gu Linfeng burst out laughing. "Me, scared? Lin Xuan, you’re hilarious. Do you truly not know how powerful my swordsmanship is?"
Lin Xuan replied, "How powerful your swordsmanship is has nothing to do with me. I only know that my sword is invincible!"
Such a braggart! Chu Yue rolled her eyes. Your sword is invincible? Are you joking? Have you ever even practiced with a sword before?
Chu Yue and Lin Xuan were both from the Heavenly Dao Academy; she couldn’t be more familiar with him. She would admit his physique was formidable—that was a fact. But as for swordsmanship, Lin Xuan had barely ever practiced it. How could his sword possibly be invincible? This kid’s boasting is beyond ridiculous.
"Idiot," the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion mocked. "Let’s see how you die."
The Second Prince went even further, declaring, "If Lin Xuan actually knows any swordsmanship, I will eat every single treasure sword here today!"
"Hahahaha, this is killing me!" The genius from Liuyun Country laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
Gu Linfeng shook his head and said, "Lin Xuan, I came here specifically for you. I hope you won’t disappoint me. You should use your proficient fist and palm techniques. I truly wish to experience their might."
"Right now, what I’m most proficient in is swordsmanship," Lin Xuan stated plainly.
Gu Linfeng’s brow furrowed at the response. He felt that Lin Xuan was all talk, and he was starting to get annoyed.
He snorted coldly. "Fine. In that case, I’d like to see for myself just how strong your swordsmanship really is!"
As he spoke, his expression darkened, and a piercing glint of light appeared in his eyes. A monstrous Sword Intent erupted from his body.
The moment this aura manifested, the weapons of everyone in the vicinity began to vibrate. The longswords worn by the swordsmen in the crowd trembled and hummed uncontrollably.
Everyone gasped in shock.
How terrifying! So this is Gu Linfeng’s Sword Intent? The aura alone is enough to make all our swords tremble and bow. How can anyone fight against that? Lin Xuan is doomed to lose!
