Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 372: The Mysterious Serpent Fled!

Zheng Song sneered. He felt that Lin Xuan's boasting had reached the heavens. Do you really think you can become a Dragon Warrior? Dream on! A Dragon Warrior hasn't appeared for over 1,000 years! How could this person possibly be one?

"Marquis, I'm afraid we really can't hold out this time," Lu Xiu said, his face pale. "The Blackwater Serpents are extremely terrifying. Forget us, even a Four-Star Grandmaster couldn't withstand them."

"How did it come to this? Why are there Blackwater Serpents here?" Elder Chen looked utterly hopeless. "They generally stay near a Dragon Vein, so why are they in these ruins?"

Song Yan's eyes were red-rimmed as he tore at his hair. "It's my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have hunted them down. Never chase a cornered foe! I was too reckless!"

They were all going to die here.

But Lin Xuan simply said, "Don't worry, you won't die. They're just a few small snakes. I can handle this with a wave of my hand."

After speaking, Lin Xuan swept his hand wide and activated his Myriad Dragon Body. He had already perfected the first layer, making him a true Dragon Warrior. He stood like a humanoid true dragon and shouted coldly, "All of you, get lost!"

His voice, carrying supreme draconic might, echoed in all directions.

The Blackwater Serpents were so terrified they turned tail and fled. In an instant, they vanished without a trace.

How is this possible? Elder Chen was dumbstruck. Lu Xiu was stunned. Song Yan was completely bewildered. Wang Hu and Li Fu stared in shock.

"This is impossible! Damn it, how could you scare away the Blackwater Serpents?" Zheng Song screamed insanely. Just moments ago, when Lin Xuan had paid the serpents no mind, he had thought the man was a water-brained idiot. These are legendary Fierce Beasts, extremely dangerous! The kid should have been attacked the moment he moved, sent to hell in the next second! But what was the result? Lin Xuan just waved his hand and scared them all away? How is that possible? Who in the world is this kid? How could he frighten a Blackwater Serpent?!

"Who are you? Just who are you?" Zheng Song shrieked, his mind on the verge of shattering. "Could you be... the legendary Dragon Warrior?"

Dragon Warriors had not appeared for a millennium. A thousand years ago, every country had them, but they had since vanished from the world. And yet now, the Great Xia Country had actually produced a Dragon Warrior.

Great Xia's luck is just too good! Are the heavens truly blessing Great Xia, allowing it to rise again?

"No!" he roared, then turned to flee.

Trying to escape? Lin Xuan sneered and executed the Great Derivation Sword Technique. With a flick of his hand, the longsword at Lu Xiu's side shot out, transforming into a Flying Sword that instantly descended upon Zheng Song.

With a single strike, it cleaved him in two.

"Immortal Sword Flight!" Song Yan exclaimed in shock.

Elder Chen was dumbstruck. Are these the abilities of the Champion Marquis? Simply incredible! Scaring away Blackwater Serpents with a single sentence! Killing a Three-Star Grandmaster with a wave of his hand! Every one of his techniques is heaven-defying!

At that moment, Lin Xuan became a god-like figure in their eyes.

Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the longsword flew back to Lu Xiu. Catching it, Lu Xiu asked in utter shock, "Marquis, how did you do that? How did you scare away the Blackwater Serpents? Are you really a Dragon Warrior?"

Lin Xuan smiled. "Was it that hard? I thought these little snakes were quite ordinary. A wave of my hand was enough to scare them off."

He spoke lightly, but the people around him were flabbergasted. No one had ever scared away a Blackwater Serpent. As legendary Fierce Beasts, they would fight to the death but never flee in terror. It seemed Lin Xuan truly might be the legendary Dragon Warrior. Even if he wasn't, he had to possess some heaven-defying treasure related to the Dragon Race.

"This is no place to linger," Elder Chen said. "We should leave and return to the main camp first."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the group quickly departed.

「On the other side.」

Vice General Qi Li was leading a party to rendezvous with Lin Xuan, but he couldn't find him. Instead, he discovered traces of a battle and a field strewn with corpses.

Qi Li's expression changed instantly. Not good. These are martial artists from the Hidden Moon Empire. Did Lin Xuan run into them? This is bad. This is real trouble.

He quickly dispatched his men to search the area, but after a thorough sweep, they still found no sign of Lin Xuan. Qi Li's heart sank. If Lin Xuan was killed by the Hidden Moon Empire, he would be guilty beyond reprieve. No, I have to hurry back to the camp and bring more men to rescue him.

Qi Li rushed back to the main camp without a moment's rest. He found Dragon General Qing Shan, dropped to his knees, and cried out, "Dragon General, I deserve death! I have failed the Champion Marquis."

"What happened?" Dragon General Qing Shan's face hardened.

Qi Li reported, "I couldn't find the Champion Marquis, but I saw the bodies of soldiers from the Hidden Moon Empire. The Champion Marquis encountered their warriors and engaged in a fierce battle. His status is unknown."

"What?" Dragon General Qing Shan's expression shifted dramatically. He commanded, "Assemble the army at once! I will personally lead the search for the Champion Marquis!"

Who is the Champion Marquis? He's the greatest prodigy of the Great Xia Country! A peerless genius! The future hope of Great Xia! He absolutely cannot die here!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The war drums thundered as the army gathered. With his eyes burning red, Dragon General Qing Shan prepared to lead his forces to find Lin Xuan.

But just then, Lin Xuan returned.

Seeing him walk back alive, Dragon General Qing Shan breathed a huge sigh of relief. Vice General Qi Li rushed forward, exclaiming with emotion, "Champion Marquis, you're alive! This is truly wonderful! I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Earlier, Vice General Qi Li had been scared to death. If Lin Xuan had truly died here, he would have become a traitor to Great Xia. But thankfully, by the grace of heaven, Lin Xuan had survived. His luck was truly incredible.

Dragon General Qing Shan completely relaxed. This Lin Xuan was truly a child of destiny. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the soldiers to rest, then led Lin Xuan into the main tent.

He inquired, "What exactly happened?"

Lin Xuan quickly recounted the events. Upon hearing his tale, Dragon General Qing Shan and Vice General Qi Li were left dumbfounded. What? Lin Xuan had slain three Centurions? What? Lin Xuan had scared off the Blackwater Serpents? It all sounded like something from a myth.

"Marquis, enough with the boasting," Qi Li said. "Just tell us what really happened."

"Everything I said is true!" Lin Xuan blinked. How is that boasting?

Vice General Qi Li was speechless, and Dragon General Qing Shan didn't believe it either. Even if Lin Xuan was the top prodigy, his strength was only at the Invincible Two-Star level. He stood no chance against a Three-Star Grandmaster. As for the Blackwater Serpents, they were savage Fierce Beasts that would rather die in battle than flee.

Dragon General Qing Shan waved his hand. "Summon all of Song Yan's warriors. I want to hear them recount the events."

Normally, he wouldn't mind if Lin Xuan, a peerless genius, boasted a little. But this time was different, as it involved the Blackwater Serpents. These creatures were extremely special. Beyond their ferocity, their origin was a mystery. It was said that they possessed the bloodline of the Candle Dragon, which in turn was connected to the Dragon Vein of this Dragon Moon Ancient Land. Therefore, the Blackwater Serpents were also linked to the Dragon Vein.

To control the Dragon Vein, it wasn't enough to just defeat the Hidden Moon Empire; they also had to break the Array within it. The Dragon Vein here was protected by a natural formation known as the Candle Dragon Grand Array, and the Blackwater Serpents were very likely the key to breaking it. The location where the serpents appeared was an area they had never mapped before, so they had to get to the bottom of it.

Soon, all the warriors who had participated in the mission arrived. Dragon General Qing Shan had them recount the events, one by one. Some among them might try to flatter Lin Xuan, but not all of them would. Surely, someone would tell the truth.
