"Sword, come forth!" Lin Xuan shouted coldly.

Immediately, a flash of sword light surged from him as the roar of a dragon echoed, boiling the entire void. The brilliant sword light swept in all directions.

Lin Xuan reached out and grasped the Dragon Shadow, which transformed into a dragon-shaped Divine Sword. It was precisely the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword.

The eyes of the six geniuses across from him almost popped out.

"What?"

"It’s actually the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword!"

"This kid has truly mastered the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword!"

Heavens, how is this possible? Are we dreaming?

Fang Zimo was even more dumbfounded. His mind buzzed, and he stood there in a daze.

He wasn’t bluffing... He really owned the Divine Sword! He has truly mastered the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword?

"Impossible, this is impossible," he shook his head wildly. "An illusion, this must be an illusion."

Lin Xuan sneered and swung his sword, instantly splitting the boundless storm. One of the geniuses was sliced in half.

A blood mist filled the air, and screams resounded in all directions as everyone’s bodies trembled.

Fang Zimo also shivered, snapping back to reality. He realized this was not an illusion. This kid really has mastered the Divine Sword! How could this be?

Holding the Divine Sword, Lin Xuan stood like a young Sword God. He glanced around coldly and said, "Now do you believe me?"

"Quick, give it your all! The Divine Sword consumes a lot of power; this kid can’t sustain many moves," Fang Zimo roared. "As long as we hold out, we can turn the tide!"

The other five geniuses believed him and rushed forward, but Fang Zimo turned and fled.

The five geniuses charged at Lin Xuan. He, however, merely sneered and slashed out with his sword. The blade flashed with a sharp light, and a Dragon Shadow flickered.

Lin Xuan killed with each step, striking fiercely.

SLICE!

One genius’s head was sent flying.

BOOM!

Another genius was pierced through by his sword, his blood dyeing the sky red.

BOOM!

Yet another genius was blasted into a blood mist, his body sent flying by the sword’s impact.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xuan had slain all five geniuses. Throughout the entire process, he remained completely unharmed. Even the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword was spotless, without a single drop of blood on it.

Lin Xuan fixed his gaze on the escaping Fang Zimo, sneering, "Where do you think you’re going?"

His figure flickered, and he swiftly gave chase. After a few flashes, he caught up to Fang Zimo and swung his sword down.

Feeling the piercing attack from behind, Fang Zimo was scared out of his wits. He dodged with all his might but still couldn’t avoid it.

In a moment of crisis, he roared furiously and swung the Flowing Light Sword with all his strength to block.

CLANG!

The two swords clashed, and the Flowing Light Sword was instantly sent flying. Fang Zimo was also struck and fell to the ground, his arm cracked open.

Defeated in just one move. The gap between us is just too great. He couldn’t beat Lin Xuan to begin with, and now his weapon couldn’t compare either. How could he possibly fight back?

He quickly said, "Stop, I admit defeat! Let me go, I promise not to trouble you again."

Lin Xuan sneered. "I already told you, I won’t be letting you leave this time. I’m sending you to hell."

"You dare kill me?" Fang Zimo screamed. "I’m the young master of the Fang Family! If you kill me, they will never forgive you! You’d better let me go! I can swear I’ll never target you again!"

Lin Xuan snorted coldly. "The young master of the Fang Family? So what? It’s not like I haven’t killed one before."

What? Fang Zimo was stunned, his eyes widening. "So, it was you who killed Fang Fan?"

"It was me," Lin Xuan admitted.

Fang Zimo fell into despair. So it was he who killed Fang Fan. He dared to challenge our Fang Family long ago. And I ridiculously kept opposing him... I was truly courting death.

Thinking of this, Fang Zimo turned and fled. He roared furiously as the Spiritual Power in his body ignited completely, doubling his speed.

But it was useless. Lin Xuan formed a hand seal, executing the Great Derivation Sword Technique. Instantly, the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword transformed into a stream of light and shot forward.

The sword light flashed, piercing through Fang Zimo’s body.

Looking down at the wound on his body, Fang Zimo roared in defiance before falling to the ground.

Lin Xuan rushed over and retrieved the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword. Then, he took Fang Zimo’s Storage Ring and Flowing Light Sword. He took the Spiritual Artifacts and Storage Rings from the other geniuses as well.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Xuan unleashed the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, turning all the bodies to ash. After finishing all this, he rose into the air and left.

「On the other side.」

When the Fang Family received the news of Fang Zimo’s death, they were instantly enraged. Another young master of their family had died.

Who? Who on earth did it? The Fang Family is a first-class family with extraordinary status! But now, our young masters are being killed one after another. This is a direct slap to our face! Unforgivable!

The Fang Family sent a large number of experts to frantically search for the enemy.

Deep within the Fang Family estate were several ancient palaces, a place where only Grandmasters could reside. Inside one of the palaces, a bald old man in a black robe shot to his feet upon hearing the news of Fang Zimo’s death. He asked coldly, "Where is Fang Zimo’s Storage Ring?"

A subordinate replied, "Reporting to the patriarch, Fang Zimo did not leave any belongings behind."

"What?!" The bald old man was instantly furious. The power emanating from him shook the entire palace violently. "Do you know who did it?"

An elder beside him wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and responded, "It’s still unclear."

"A bunch of incompetents," the bald old man snorted coldly. "I’ll handle this myself."

With that, he rushed out of the palace, transforming into a streak of light that flew into the distance.

Many elders of the Fang Family were stunned. They had not expected the patriarch to intervene personally. This bald old man was no ordinary figure; he was a Grandmaster. On Dragon Island, he was already a top-tier existence. He would typically only take action when the family faced a life-or-death crisis. Yet now, with only Fang Zimo dead, he was taking action personally. This was truly beyond everyone’s expectations.

The Fang Family disciples, however, were ecstatic. With their Old Ancestor taking action, the enemy would soon be captured.

No matter who did it, that person is doomed.

This bald old man was named Fang Cangsong. The stone box inside Fang Zimo’s Storage Ring was meant for him. But now, unexpectedly, Fang Zimo’s Storage Ring was gone. Was the stone box stolen as well? That box contains the whereabouts of the Wood Dragon Pearl! It’s the key for me to become a Dragon Warrior!

Fang Cangsong vowed to retrieve that stone box.

Moving at an extremely fast speed, he arrived at the location of Fang Zimo’s death and began a careful investigation. However, he found no useful clues. This drove him mad with frustration.

He returned to the family and mobilized all of the Fang Family’s power for a frantic search. They would find that person even if it meant turning Dragon Island upside down.

The sudden, large-scale mobilization of the Fang Family shocked Dragon Island. All the major families were stunned.

What’s going on? Why is the Fang Family going crazy again? Could another young master of the Fang Family have fallen? Impossible. Who would dare to repeatedly challenge the Fang Family? Do they have a death wish?

But soon, news spread that a young master of the Fang Family, Fang Zimo, had fallen, killed by someone.

What? The news sent shockwaves in all directions. Someone really was challenging the Fang Family! Who on earth was this mysterious figure?

It wasn’t just the Fang Family; a dozen other families also roared in anger, for it turned out their own geniuses had also been eliminated.

The entire Dragon Island was dumbfounded. Heavens, who is this mysterious figure? Are they trying to turn the world upside down?

The Fang Family finally found a clue. They discovered that all the deceased were participants of the genius banquet. Moreover, all of these individuals had caused trouble for the Ye Family. They were subsequently defeated by the guardian of the Spiritual Dragon Lake, Fairy Yunxi. This included Fang Zimo, who was personally thrown out by her.

After receiving this news, the Fang Family was incensed.

Why is it related to the Ye Family again?

"Damn it, the Ye Family has gone too far!"

"Take action and eradicate the Ye Family!" many of the Fang Family’s experts roared in anger.

But others were more cautious. "Don’t act rashly. The Ye Family is still a second-rate family with some foundation. Furthermore, the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion has repeatedly helped the Ye Family, which is quite unusual. If we take action, the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion will likely intervene!"

"What should we do then? Just let the Ye Family continue its arrogance? I cannot swallow this insult," an elder said, clenching his teeth.

"We should follow the patriarch’s decision."

Everyone looked toward Fang Cangsong, whose eyes flickered.

"We don’t need to deal with the entire Ye Family," he said. "Only three of their young people attended the genius banquet. We only need to capture these three to get the clues we need."

Fang Cangsong gave the order, "Capture Lin Xuan, Ye Qingwu, and Ye Ruxue! Bring all of them here!"
