Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 357: World in Uproar!

The martial artists of the realm sighed in despair. In their eyes, Lin Xuan was probably doomed.

If even Lin Xuan was defeated, was there really no hope for their Great Xia Country? Were they really going to lose to the Liuyun Country this time? Everyone was despondent.

Just then, another piece of news spread from the Imperial City.

"Lin Xuan defeated Gu Linfeng with a single sword strike!"

"What?"

All the martial artists were stunned.

"Heavens, did I hear that right?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Lin Xuan won!"

"He really defeated Gu Linfeng with one sword strike?"

"Damn, this is too heaven-defying!"

The realm's martial artists were shocked. They knew just how formidable Gu Linfeng was. Gu Linfeng had trampled over the competition in both this and the last Hidden Dragon Chart. He was considered an almost invincible presence.

But the result? He was defeated by Lin Xuan! And defeated with a single sword strike! It was unbelievable! Simply heaven-defying!

"Damn, so Lin Xuan was this powerful all along! No wonder he dared to make that sworn military pledge."

"The Champion Marquis is amazing!"

The martial artists of the realm erupted into an uproar.

"Hahahaha, I told you! The Champion Marquis is the beacon of hope for our Great Xia!"

"The Champion Marquis is simply defying the heavens!"

"I never would have imagined that someone could defeat Gu Linfeng with a single sword strike, yet someone has actually done it today."

"Lin Xuan has created another miracle!"

The crowd cheered. The martial artists of the Lin Family jumped for joy, and the Master of the Pill Tower was also overjoyed. The Master of Sword Casting Manor drank large gulps of wine in his excitement.

But just then, another piece of news arrived from the Imperial City. It turned out Gu Linfeng had lost because he had been careless and hadn't used his full strength. He wanted a rematch with Lin Xuan! This time, he would unleash the Sword King's legacy, the Heaven-severing Sword Art!

The world was once again shocked, and everyone fell silent. Their hearts leaped into their throats again.

What, a rematch? How could this be?

"He's already lost! What right does he have to demand a rematch?"

"Exactly! A loss is a loss. He shouldn't be making excuses for himself."

"Lin Xuan, don't fight him again! You've already won."

The crowd discussed the matter fervently. They did not want a rematch. If Lin Xuan lost, then it would all be over.

In the Lin Family's estate, everyone's hearts were once again hanging in suspense.

At the Pill Tower, the Master of the Pill Tower's brow furrowed.

At Sword Casting Manor, the Manor Master felt the wine in his hand had lost its appeal.

Soon, the news came: "Lin Xuan has accepted the challenge!"

He really accepted! The realm was in an uproar. Could Lin Xuan win this time?

"Damn it, is there any more news? Why is the information from the Imperial City coming so slowly?"

"Did Lin Xuan win in the end or not?"

At that moment, martial artists all over the realm waited anxiously. The major families were like ants on a hot pan, pacing around frantically.

"What happened? Is there a result yet?" the members of the Lin Family asked desperately.

The Master of the Pill Tower continuously sent his subordinates to gather information. The Master of Sword Casting Manor stopped drinking altogether, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands clasped behind him. Everyone was waiting for news.

「Liuyun Country.」

They, too, had been receiving a stream of news. When they heard that Gu Linfeng had swept the Hidden Dragon Chart, they were incredibly excited. When they heard he had even swept the previous Hidden Dragon Chart, they were ecstatic.

"Hahahaha, the Great Xia Country is utterly vulnerable!"

"Hmph! The younger generation of the Great Xia Country will be trampled under our feet!"

"Let's see if Great Xia dares to be so arrogant in front of our Liuyun Country in the future!"

"Great Xia is pathetic. They have no real geniuses."

"It just goes to show that Gu Linfeng is too strong. He is truly worthy of being our Liuyun Country's number one genius."

"So far, no one has been able to withstand a single one of Gu Linfeng's sword strikes."

"Perhaps only that Chu Zhongtian would be qualified to contend with him."

"We just got word that Chu Zhongtian entered some ruins and won't be seen for several months."

"Hahaha, then no one is a match for Gu Linfeng! He can sweep through all of Great Xia!"

The martial artists of Liuyun Country were thrilled. Soon, another message arrived. "The Champion Marquis of Great Xia has accepted the challenge."

"I know of the Champion Marquis. He's first on this year's Hidden Dragon Chart. He's said to have Wushuang talent, dubbed a Saint Talent."

"Those are just rumors."

"A Saint Talent might not even appear once in a thousand years. What makes this Champion Marquis worthy of possessing one?"

Another report came in, stating that the Champion Marquis was only a seven-star Martial General. The people of Liuyun Country were dumbfounded when they heard this. What? A seven-star Martial General? That weak?

"Even a two-star Grandmaster was instantly killed by Gu Linfeng with one strike. What can a seven-star Martial General possibly do?"

"He probably couldn't even withstand a single glance from Gu Linfeng."

"He's no opponent for Gu Linfeng."

"I'd say he isn't even qualified to be called Gu Linfeng's opponent."

The people of Liuyun Country sneered, not giving Lin Xuan a second thought. In their eyes, this so-called Champion Marquis wasn't fit to carry Gu Linfeng's shoes. The fact that Great Xia considered such a person a genius showed that the country was truly in decline. They had no real geniuses left.

Soon, another message arrived: "Champion Marquis Lin Xuan is in a decisive battle with Gu Linfeng!"

The Champion Marquis had even boasted that he would defeat Gu Linfeng in a single move and had made a sworn military pledge to that effect.

The people of Liuyun Country went wild.

"What? How dare he be so arrogant?"

"Who the hell does he think he is? He wants to defeat Gu Linfeng in one move? Is he worthy?"

"He can't even withstand a single glance from Gu Linfeng."

"Is this Champion Marquis out of his mind?"

"He dared to make a sworn pledge? Isn't he just asking to die?"

"The duel should be over by now. That Champion Marquis has probably already lost."

"Has he been sent to hell already?"

"Hmph, it serves him right for being so arrogant."

"He wants to defeat Gu Linfeng? Dream on."

"He couldn't do it even if you gave him another hundred years."

The martial artists of Liuyun Country sneered relentlessly. To them, this Champion Marquis was an idiot, a jumping clown not even worth mentioning.

But on this day, a piece of news reached Liuyun Country that plunged it into silence. Everyone was stupefied.

The message was: "Lin Xuan defeated Gu Linfeng with a single sword strike!"

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"I don't believe it!"

"Neither do I!"

The Liuyun Country was in an uproar.

"This must be fake news."

"It's a no-brainer! You don't need to think to know this is fake news."

"How could that Lin Xuan, a mere seven-star Martial General, possibly defeat Gu Linfeng?"

"Let alone kill him in one strike!"

"That's simply impossible."

"That's right! Gu Linfeng is at the peak of the two-star level, his strength is incredible."

"The number of two-star Grandmasters who can contend with him is pitifully small."

"Perhaps some veteran two-star Grandmasters could, but definitely no one from the younger generation."

"How could this Champion Marquis possibly be his opponent?"

"It's even more impossible for him to defeat Gu Linfeng with one strike."

Who was spreading such false news? The people of Liuyun Country were first shocked, then became furious. Were they being toyed with? Were they being treated like fools?

But soon, the message came again: "Lin Xuan truly did defeat Gu Linfeng with a single sword strike!"

The people of Liuyun Country were dumbfounded. At this moment, a terrifying silence fell over the nation. All the martial artists stood frozen in place, their minds blank.

Gu Linfeng had actually been defeated! How could this have happened?

"Am I dreaming?"

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?"

"No, I don't believe it! This is fake!"

The martial artists of Liuyun Country roared madly, unable to accept the reality.

Someone else suggested, "Did that Champion Marquis use some underhanded method? Did he ambush Gu Linfeng?"

"That's right, that must be it!"

"Otherwise, how could he possibly have defeated Gu Linfeng?"

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"How is a despicable person like him qualified to be called a genius?"

"Gu Linfeng was just careless and got ambushed! How else could he have lost?"

The people of Liuyun Country gnashed their teeth, feeling indignant on Gu Linfeng's behalf.

But just then, another new piece of news arrived. Gu Linfeng and the Champion Marquis were going to have a rematch!

The people of Liuyun Country grew excited, and some even began to cheer.

"Excellent! This time, Gu Linfeng will surely go all out!"

"He won't lose again."

"That's for sure. The Champion Marquis won't get a chance to ambush him again."

"Just you watch! This time, that Champion Marquis Lin Xuan will be utterly defeated!"
