Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 253: Chapter 252: To Kill Ling Fei, You Must Get Past Me First

”If you want to kill Ling Fei, you’ll have to get through me first!” A cold voice escaped Lian Shuang’s lips as a sharp Sword Intent soared into the sky.

Lian Shuang’s tone was indifferent, yet it was filled with a powerful aura.

It was the aura unique to a Sword Cultivator.

Fearless. Even with just one person and one sword, she possessed the spirit to cut down all the heroes in the world.

”Such an aura! She truly has the bearing of a Sword God!” The sight stirred the hearts of the Cultivators from the various Sects.

”To think that Lian Shuang, a mere woman, could have such spirit!” Many faces showed respect.

’This woman must not be allowed to live. If she’s allowed to grow, few in the Southern Wilderness will be able to contend with her.’

’The Lingyun Sect is truly fortunate. They have a Sword Dao prodigy in Lian Shuang and an Alchemy Dao prodigy in Ling Fei. If both of them are allowed to mature, won’t the Lingyun Sect reign supreme in the Southern Wilderness?’ Zheng Yang, Mo Ziyou, and Wen Qianshan exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with apprehension.

Then, their gazes shifted, and when they looked at Lian Shuang, it was as if they were facing a future Sword God.

An immense pressure welled up from their hearts.

”Kill her. She must be eliminated.”

”Indeed. How can we let someone like this live?” Mo Ziyou and Wen Qianshan both nodded.

Ling Fei alone was already enough to make them lose sleep. Now, they had discovered that this Lian Shuang was also a stunningly brilliant talent.

If the two were allowed to mature, their Three Great Sects would never have a chance to turn things around.

”Brother Mo, how about you make the first move?” Zheng Yang said to Mo Ziyou beside him, a glint in his eyes.

Although they had formed an alliance, Zheng Yang was clearly still on guard.

After all, if he attacked first and exhausted the last of his Power, only to be eliminated by Mo Ziyou and Wen Qianshan teaming up against him, it would be disastrous.

As a genius, he valued his own life all the more, so he had to be cautious.

”Fine. I’ll attack first, but you have to make a move after me,” Mo Ziyou said.

He was also worried that if he attacked and Zheng Yang didn’t follow up, it would create a hidden danger for himself.

”Of course,” Zheng Yang said. ”At that time, Brother Wen and I will attack together. How does that sound?”

”Excellent!” Hearing this, Mo Ziyou nodded and then glanced at Wen Qianshan.

”Good. It’s a deal,” Wen Qianshan nodded.

”In that case, let me be the first to test the might of this Little Sword God!” Mo Ziyou’s gaze focused, and with a flip of his palm, a Banner appeared.

The moment the Banner appeared, it radiated an astonishing fluctuation of aura.

The fluctuation made everyone in the valley turn pale.

”With Senior Brother Mo making a move, he should be able to take down Lian Shuang.”

”But if Lian Shuang also has a Profound Spirit Treasure, it’ll be trouble,” the members of the Three Great Sects murmured.

”Although Lian Shuang is a genius, the chances of her possessing a Profound Spirit Treasure are slim. She doesn’t have an elder in the Nascent Soul Realm,” someone said.

One must understand that Profound Spirit Treasures were incredibly precious. Even Celestial Pill Realm Cultivators might not have one; only Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators could possess such treasures.

Even Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses didn’t have many Profound Spirit Treasures. If they were to give one away, it would be to their most favored junior disciples.

Furthermore, the major Sects placed great importance on tempering their geniuses. For a disciple to rise, they had to rely on their own talent to earn corresponding rewards.

Showing favoritism to one person could easily cause dissatisfaction among other geniuses, thus affecting morale.

If a Sect lost the hearts of its people, it would be extremely difficult for it to grow stronger.

Therefore, rules were very important.

”But Lian Shuang is a peerless genius!” Others were worried, fearing that Lian Shuang might also have such a treasure.

While rules were important, in the face of a true genius, rules were made to be broken.

”What’s the hurry? We’ll know once Senior Brother Mo makes his move,” a young man said calmly.

Subsequently, everyone’s gaze converged on Mo Ziyou.

Mo Ziyou was seen holding the Banner. He took a large stride and appeared in the middle of the valley.

Essence Qi surged from his body and poured into the Banner.

WHOOSH!

Light Patterns flowed across the Banner, and a fierce wind suddenly howled into existence.

”Lian Shuang, seeing as you are a woman, I won’t make things difficult for you if you just stand down.” Mo Ziyou’s black robes fluttered in the wind, making him appear imposing.

”A Profound Spirit Treasure?” A glint flashed in Lian Shuang’s eyes. ”A Profound Pill Realm expert wielding a Profound Spirit Treasure is something even a Celestial Pill Realm expert would be wary of.”

”An ordinary Profound Pill Realm Cultivator would indeed be intimidated. However, you are clearly lacking in Essence, Qi, and Spirit. At most, you can only use this treasure once, and its power will be limited. A person like you... wants me to stand down?” Lian Shuang’s tone was forceful and resonant. Her blue hair danced in the wind, and her Sword Qi shot toward the heavens.

Facing Mo Ziyou, who wielded a Profound Spirit Treasure, she still showed not a hint of fear.

’It seems Lian Shuang is quite confident. I should take this opportunity to fuse with the Celestial Fire and then go help her.’ Seeing Lian Shuang’s demeanor, Ling Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Without delay, he immediately used his Heart Spirit to circulate the Spirit Fusion Technique and began to merge with the Dragon Spirit Celestial Fire.

Fusing with the Dragon Spirit Celestial Fire meant completely immersing his Heart Spirit within the Celestial Fire, as if taking root inside it and becoming one with it.

WHOOSH!

An endless amount of Heart Spirit poured into it.

At the same time, Ling Fei kept a sliver of his Heart Spirit Sensing the situation outside.

At this moment, outside, Mo Ziyou’s aura was soaring.

”It seems Miss Lian Shuang is very confident in herself. In that case, I would like to see what you’re truly capable of.” Mo Ziyou’s face was grim. Lian Shuang’s arrogant demeanor displeased him greatly. No matter what, he was a genius, and he was currently wielding a Profound Spirit Treasure.

Even if he couldn’t unleash the treasure’s full power, it was still enough to crush any Profound Pill Realm Cultivator.

Yet this woman before him wore a look of utter disdain.

To Mo Ziyou, this was a blatant insult.

As his words fell, Light Patterns on the Banner shot into the sky. A hurricane materialized out of thin air, and clouds and mist swirled above his head.

”Wind and Cloud, arise!”

A deep voice rang out.

Then, Mo Ziyou, holding the Banner, swept it toward Lian Shuang in front of him.

WHOOSH!

The rising wind and clouds filled the entire valley, threatening to engulf Lian Shuang.

The aura was so terrifying it made one’s heart tremble with fear.

’Can she withstand it?’ Even Ling Fei, who was currently fusing with the Celestial Fire, couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The hurricane swept in, tyrannical and wild, with every strand as sharp as a blade.

Under such a hurricane, even tens of thousands of Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivators would perish.

The terrifying hurricane formed a vortex as it swept forward, striking fear into the hearts of all who saw it.

But Lian Shuang stood proudly in the Void of the valley. She stared calmly ahead, allowing the fierce wind to rage toward her.

”A Profound Spirit Treasure is nothing special after all.” A glint flashed in Lian Shuang’s eyes as she stepped on her Cyan Lotus and advanced toward the hurricane vortex.

Five Sword Lotuses spun around her, erupting with terrifying Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi shot into the sky, tearing apart the hurricane in front of her piece by piece.

Just like that, the crowd watched as Lian Shuang completely entered the hurricane.

”This Lian Shuang is so fierce! Isn’t she afraid of being annihilated by the hurricane?!” Seeing this, many people turned pale with fear.

One must understand that the hurricane was relentless. Even if one could resist it at first, if their strength failed within it, they would surely be torn to shreds.

The risk was so great that no one would dare to face it head-on.

Yet Lian Shuang showed almost no hesitation, which revealed just how extraordinary her temperament was.

”It’s no wonder this woman has achieved so much.” Even Zheng Yang couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, his face full of apprehension.

Within the fierce winds, Lian Shuang stepped on her Cyan Lotus and advanced rapidly.

Even though the hurricane ahead was violent enough to seemingly swallow everything, it was instantly shredded upon encountering the Sword Lotuses surrounding Lian Shuang.

The power of Lian Shuang’s Five Elements Sword Lotus was clearly beyond anyone’s imagination.

”Lian Shuang is actually this strong. Her combat power is completely comparable to a Celestial Pill Realm expert.” Even Mo Ziyou was frowning at this point.

”Wind Forms a Dragon!”

At that very moment, Mo Ziyou swept his Banner. The fierce wind immediately moved with it, gathering into a Wind Dragon that raged toward Lian Shuang.

This was the concentration of the hurricane’s power, intended to deliver a fatal blow to Lian Shuang.

However, after this, Mo Ziyou’s face visibly paled.

Activating the Profound Spirit Treasure to this extent had clearly exceeded his limits.

WHOOSH!

The Wind Dragon swept forward, getting closer and closer to Lian Shuang.

’Shred her Five Elements Sword Lotus! Shred her Five Elements Sword Lotus!’ Mo Ziyou used his Heart Spirit to closely track the Wind Dragon’s movements.

Soon, the Wind Dragon and Lian Shuang were nearly upon each other.

The wind raged forth, every strand as sharp as Gang Qi.

That kind of Gang Qi was truly terrifying. It was relentless, capable of easily tearing through the Essence Qi Shield of a Profound Pill Realm cultivator.

An ordinary person would be completely unable to resist it.

Lian Shuang remained fearless. The Sword Qi from the five Sword Lotuses around her intertwined, forming what looked like a Sword Qi Vortex that protected her entire body.

The Sword Qi churned, continuously clashing with the hurricane’s Gang Qi. Strands of Gang Qi were crushed one after another, yet her body continued to advance.

It was clear that her aura still surpassed that of the Hurricane Dragon.

”Void Spirit Sword!”

After breaking through the hurricane, the Long Sword in Lian Shuang’s hand moved.

SWISH!

The cyan Long Sword slashed out. The sword light split the sky like a flash of lightning. Wherever it passed, the Gang Qi ahead was cut open, and the Hurricane Dragon was brutally torn apart.

With a flash of sword light, Lian Shuang stepped on her Cyan Lotus and followed it, appearing at the center of the dragon-like hurricane.

At that moment, her sword light took advantage of the opening and slashed down, continuously ripping the Hurricane Dragon apart.

Lian Shuang’s body seemed to merge with the sword light, moving along with it.

In this state, it was as if she had become one with the sword. Her control over her Swordsmanship and Body Technique had reached an extremely high Realm.

WHOOSH!

In an instant, the blue sword light broke through the Hurricane Dragon. The dazzling radiance bloomed, causing the eyes of everyone in the valley to light up.

”She broke through?” Fear filled Mo Ziyou’s eyes.

The next moment, he saw the woman charging toward him, sword in hand.

SWISH!

The sword light that had pierced the Hurricane Dragon shot straight for Mo Ziyou. Its speed was like a flash of lightning, giving him no time to react.

”Retreat!” In his terror, Mo Ziyou hurriedly brandished the Wind and Cloud Banner.

A hurricane swept out.

However, because he was lacking in Essence Qi, the power of the hurricane summoned by the Profound Spirit Treasure had plummeted. It was completely unable to block Lian Shuang’s aura.

But Mo Ziyou didn’t panic. With a flip of his palm, light flickered, and a massive Mechanical Giant Beast lunged forward.

The beast, resembling a tiger or a leopard, was a hundred feet tall. The moment it appeared, it extended a giant paw to block the blue sword light.

SWISH!

The blue sword light slashed down in a graceful arc. As it passed, the giant beast’s paw was split in two and fell to the ground.

The sharp sword light continued its momentum, slashing forward. Its power was so immense that the disciples of the Three Great Sects watching from the side couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for Mo Ziyou.
