Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 353: Defeated Gu Linfeng with a Single Sword Strike!

The battle was finally about to begin!

Everyone's eyes widened, eager to see how Lin Xuan would annihilate Gu Linfeng in a single blow.

The members of the Celestial King's Mansion sneered. "I think this kid will be the one annihilated by a single sword strike."

Chu Yue scoffed, "This Lin Xuan isn't even carrying a sword, yet he plans to kill someone in one move?"

"I doubt he even knows any Swordsmanship."

The disciples of the Star Pavilion burst into raucous laughter, and the others in the crowd were equally puzzled.

That's right, where was Lin Xuan's sword?

Everyone waited for a long time, but no one saw Lin Xuan draw a weapon. Even Gu Linfeng frowned. "Why don't you draw your sword?"

Lin Xuan smiled. "To deal with you, I don't need to draw my sword."

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Damn it, this guy was determined to be arrogant to the very end, leaving himself no room to back down.

The Emperor sat on his throne, his face gloomy and his body trembling slightly with rage. This Champion Marquis was completely unreliable. At that moment, he felt the urge to simply turn around and leave. Claiming he would kill his opponent in one blow without even drawing a sword… this brat was too arrogant! Did this Champion Marquis have no sense of his own limitations?

The Emperor was seething. If not for the public occasion, he would have reprimanded Lin Xuan himself.

The Cyan Dragon Manor Master was just as anxious. Lin Xuan had made a military pledge, yet he was acting this brazenly. What would happen if he lost? At that point, even he would struggle to protect Lin Xuan!

Young Master, I beg you, please stop boasting! the Cyan Dragon Manor Master prayed inwardly.

Of course, the happiest among the crowd were Chu Yue and the people from the Celestial King's faction. The more arrogant this kid acted, the faster he would die. They were about to witness a great show and see just how he would meet his end.

Gu Linfeng said nothing, but a frigid killing intent surfaced in his eyes. His opponent's repeated underestimation had truly enraged him.

With a cold snort, he slashed his sword forward. The strike illuminated the heavens and the earth. A tremor ran through the crowd.

Many people cried out in alarm, "There it is! The Peerless Sword strike!"

This was the very technique that had once stunned the entire Imperial City! The Second Crown Prince had been defeated by this single strike. This sword was terrifying.

Lin Xuan was finished! He was the one who was about to be killed in one move.

"Look, Lin Xuan still hasn't drawn his sword."

"I think he's scared stiff."

"Hmph! Some Champion Marquis. He's nothing special."

"He was clearly just bragging before. He's about to be annihilated."

Some cried out in alarm, others sneered in contempt, many mocked him, a few grew worried, and some simply fell into despair. Ye Qingwu and her companions even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching.

Lin Xuan did not dodge. Gazing at the incoming sword strike, he struck out with his palm, not at the attack, but at a large tree nearby. The tree shook violently, and a shower of countless leaves rained down.

"Gu Linfeng, allow me to show you my Swordsmanship as well!"

With that, Lin Xuan's fingers moved like a sword, sweeping toward the falling foliage. All the leaves instantly froze in mid-air. Then, Lin Xuan pointed a finger at Gu Linfeng.

"Go!"

At his cold command, all the leaves howled as they shot toward Gu Linfeng. The once-ordinary leaves now pulsed with a verdant light, each one as sharp as a green Flying Sword.

Countless green Flying Swords whistled through the air like a jade torrent. They converged in the sky, appearing from a distance as if they had formed a single, colossal, emerald Divine Sword.

The blade cleaved downward, aimed straight at Gu Linfeng.

Gu Linfeng, who had been furious just a moment ago, felt his expression shift as he witnessed the scene.

"What? Soaring Immortal Sword Control! This guy has mastered the Sword Control Technique!"

But his shock quickly turned to resolve. "So what?"

He roared furiously and unleashed his peerless sword strike. A tremendous BANG echoed as the dazzling Sword Qi collided with the emerald Divine Sword, producing an earth-shattering roar.

In a mere instant, his Sword Qi was completely devoured.

"Impossible!" Gu Linfeng's expression finally changed drastically. He realized this attack was far more powerful than he had imagined.

"Damn it, hold it back!" Gu Linfeng bellowed as the Sword Intent from his body erupted and merged with his Sword Qi. The sword light flared with an even more brilliant radiance, illuminating the world like a divine pillar of light. The Sword Qi fought back, attempting to shatter the emerald Divine Sword, but it was futile.

The power of the emerald Divine Sword was terrifyingly absolute. It was unstoppable, tearing through the Sword Qi and charging directly at Gu Linfeng.

He raised his sword to block.

CRASH!

He was sent flying, the longsword knocked from his grasp. Like a kite with a broken string, Gu Linfeng soared into the distance.

Defeated in a single move.

The entire arena fell into a stunned silence.

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy shot to his feet.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master's eyes were wide with shock.

The Star Pavilion Master coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The Celestial Sword Sect Leader's eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of his head.

Disbelief washed over Sect Leader Wan Huo.

A chill ran down the Beiling Sect Leader's spine.

Clan Leader Yan gasped, sucking in a breath of cold air.

The Celestial King wore an expression as if he had just seen a ghost.

The Emperor was also stunned, but then his eyes began to sparkle with brilliant delight. His body trembled once more, not from anger this time, but from pure excitement.

"Excellent!"

"What magnificent Soaring Immortal Sword Control!"

"Champion Marquis, you truly are the Light of Great Xia!"

"Hahahaha! I was right about you!"

The Emperor's booming laughter echoed across the square, finally snapping the surrounding crowd out of their stupor.

What just happened? Ye Qingwu and Bai Qian Qian opened their eyes. Staring at the scene before them, they were utterly dazed.

Lin Xuan had won.

But how did he win? Just moments ago, they had been so terrified they had closed their eyes in utter despair. Yet, against all expectations, Lin Xuan had actually won. It was unbelievable.

"The Young Master is simply godlike! Hahaha!" the Cyan Dragon Clan Leader laughed toward the heavens. He too had been in despair, certain that Lin Xuan was about to be defeated and face a grim fate. He had feared that even sacrificing his own life wouldn't be enough to protect him. He had been truly hopeless.

But to his astonishment, Lin Xuan's strength was so overwhelming that he had actually defeated Gu Linfeng in a single move. It was truly incredible, like something out of a myth or legend.

"Heavens above!"

"What did I just witness?"

"Lin Xuan actually defeated Gu Linfeng!"

"In a single strike!"

"Holy hell! Lin Xuan really didn't draw his sword!"

"He just used a handful of leaves to defeat Gu Linfeng!"

"Are those really just leaves? Why do they seem more powerful than Flying Swords?"

"Soaring Immortal Sword Control! That is the true Soaring Immortal Sword Control!"

"Unbeatable!"

"That attack was absolutely unbeatable!"

"Damn, so Lin Xuan wasn't bragging after all! He really can defeat Gu Linfeng!"

"And he really did it in one move!"

"And he didn't even need to draw his sword."

They had gone mad.

At that moment, everyone went completely mad. It was understandable. Lin Xuan's earlier words had been so arrogant, his boasting so over-the-top, that no one had believed him.

But now?

They realized how foolish they had been. They were all just frogs in a well. They had no idea just how formidable Lin Xuan truly was. It turned out that Lin Xuan hadn't been bragging at all; everything he said was the truth. It turned out his power was this immense! It was simply heaven-defying, truly and utterly heaven-defying.

"Lin Xuan is mighty!"

"Lin Xuan is invincible!"

Everyone roared like madmen, as if trying to release the overwhelming shock from their hearts.

"He actually did it… What kind of Swordsmanship is that?" Sword Wushuang was dumbfounded.

Chu Yue was so scared she nearly fainted. How could this be? She had thought Lin Xuan was nothing but a posturing buffoon, only to realize the true buffoon was her.

The members of Star Pavilion were so terrified they were rendered speechless. The Celestial King's Mansion was also dead silent, and its disciples' eyes were filled with terror. How could this have happened? They felt like they were on the verge of collapsing.

The Second Crown Prince shook his head frantically. "Impossible… how is that possible? How could he be this strong? How could he have won?" he stammered. "Royal Father, what do we do now?"

Beside him, the Celestial King's face was as black as thunder.

He won… I can't get my revenge! DAMN IT! he seethed, infuriated beyond words.

In the arena, Lin Xuan's gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on the geniuses of Liuyun Country.

He spoke coldly, "Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge me?"

How could this be? The geniuses from Liuyun Country were devastated. Their number one prodigy had actually been defeated! They couldn't accept it.

The Ninth Prince of Liuyun gritted his teeth. "It was luck! You must have gotten lucky."

Bai Yu added, "Gu Linfeng must have been careless. Otherwise, he never would have lost."

"Yes, that's right, that must be it."

"Luck? Carelessness?" Lin Xuan chuckled coldly. "If you're not convinced, feel free to attack. Or better yet, all of you can come at me together."

It was clear. Lin Xuan intended to single-handedly sweep through all of Liuyun Country.

Bai Yu's face turned ugly, and the Ninth Prince ground his teeth in frustration. Even if they attacked together, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

Just then, however, Gu Linfeng stood up from a distance.

He declared, "I was careless. I am not convinced! This time, I will use my full strength."

Bai Yu and the others grew excited. Great, Gu Linfeng still had the strength to fight back.

The Ninth Prince of Liuyun said, "Just watch! When Gu Linfeng fights with everything he has, he'll definitely turn the tables and claim victory!"
