Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

The crowd exchanged glances, sighing inwardly. They knew that with Ding Youx’s arrival, the Heart-Seeking Seeds had nothing to do with them anymore.

Li Xingyun looked at Ding Youx and chuckled. ”Ding Youx, I didn’t expect you to be interested in the Heart-Seeking Seed too. Are you about to have a breakthrough?”

Seeing Li Xingyun, Ding Youx frowned slightly. ”I narrowly lost to you at the last Octagon Tea Party, but I won’t lose to you again in the competition for the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele.”

Li Xingyun smiled faintly. ”Is that so? I’m no longer interested in fighting you. I don’t want to live my life going backward. There are plenty of people above us, aren’t there?”

Ding Youx didn’t get angry at Li Xingyun’s words. ”With your current strength, you can’t defeat the truly top-tier generation. Our stage is twenty years from now.”

A playful look entered Li Xingyun’s eyes. ”Then why have you come to snatch the Luo Family’s Heart-Seeking Seed?”

Ding Youx flicked her sleeve, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile. ”That may be so, but I was thinking, if a person doesn’t strive even once in their life, wouldn’t that be a disservice to their time in this world?”

The red sleeve ribbons danced, and Ding Youx’s face was radiant.

”The Heart-Seeking Seed. I want one. You all can do as you please with the rest.” Ding Youx swept her gaze over the crowd, then looked toward Wen Qingye.

Hearing Ding Youx’s words, the crowd was overjoyed. This meant that with two Heart-Seeking Seeds in Wen Qingye’s possession, they still had a chance to get one.

Instantly, all eyes turned to Wen Qingye, like ravenous beasts spotting their prey.

Seeing this, Wul Hua’s heart tightened. ’This is bad. Wen Qingye is truly trapped in a desperate situation.’

Yanm Chongwen shook his head. ”We should just watch from the sidelines. This mission is a failure, but it’s not our fault. There are simply too many experts.”

Wangg Xin and Nangong Xin both nodded in agreement.

”You’re just going to stand by and do nothing?” Tao Liuu’s eyes were wide with anger as she snapped at the group.

”Do nothing? Tao Liuu, look at who these people are! How are we supposed to make a move?” Nangong Xin shot the furious Tao Liuu a glance and retorted.

”Hmph!” Tao Liuu gave a cold laugh, looked toward Wen Qingye in the distance, and then fell silent.

.......

Wen Qingye had remained silent the entire time, standing there, letting the gentle breeze caress his face. He waited until all eyes were on him.

”Are you finished talking?” Wen Qingye looked at Ding Youx and Li Xingyun. Then, his sword drew a cold gleam of light as he pointed it directly at Li Xingyun. ”Now that you’re done, hand over the Heart-Seeking Seed in your possession.”

HISS!

The surrounding crowd exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. ’What is Wen Qingye doing? Does he plan to take all three Heart-Seeking Seeds for himself?’

Li Xingyun couldn’t help but clasp his hands behind his back and smile. ”Kid, your arrogance knows no bounds. Why don’t you take a look at your own situation first?”

”You’re very interesting. Hand over one Heart-Seeking Seed, and I won’t make things difficult for you,” Ding Youx said softly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wen Qingye.

Hua Shusheng stood up and shouted, ”Everyone, enough nonsense! Wen Qingye still has two Heart-Seeking Seeds, and it looks like he has no intention of handing them over! If we attack together, I doubt it will take more than the time it takes an incense stick to burn before he coughs them up. As for whether we can get a Heart-Seeking Seed then...”

A sharp glint flashed in Wen Qingye’s eyes. His body, like a phantom, vanished from the spot with a SWOOSH.

Everyone was shocked!

Where did he go?

At that moment, a flash of golden light appeared, making everyone’s hearts tremble.

Hua Shusheng saw a golden gleam appear before him, expanding rapidly. His entire body froze as if he’d been nailed in place, unable to move.

But he was no weakling. His body trembled slightly, his hands continuously forming seals, and a mighty Mountain-Breaking Seal slammed down toward the top of Wen Qingye’s head.

The Mountain-Breaking Seal was a Peak Martial Arts of King Grade unique to the Green Sun Sect. Once executed, all its power focused on a single point, making it indestructible and far more powerful than ordinary Peak Martial Arts of King Grade.

CREAK! CRACK!

When the golden Sword Aura struck the Mountain-Breaking Seal, the seal groaned as if being crushed, emitting strange noises. As if unable to bear the weight, it grew feeble.

Wen Qingye’s eyes were sharp, his footwork swift. The sword in his hand, the heart of his sword, moved with boundless speed, like an arc of lightning streaking across the sky.

”Four Symbols Sword Technique, Sixth Form! Lightning Flash!”

The sword light was unbelievably fast. Almost no one present could clearly see the trajectory of Wen Qingye’s Sword Force; they only perceived a flash of arcing light.

”Mountain-Breaking Seal!”

Hua Shusheng immediately sensed danger. He instinctively formed another Mountain-Breaking Seal and thrust his palm in the direction of Wen Qingye’s attack.

The lightning-fast Sword Qi was like a mountain, parting a river. Swift as a stream of light, it slashed through part of the earthy-yellow halo and crashed against the earthy-yellow Palm Seal.

TCH-TCH-TCH-TCH-TCH...

The two attacks collided, creating a grating, trembling sound. Hua Shusheng felt an infinitely powerful force slash down upon his Palm Seal.

’What kind of Swordsmanship is this?’

Hua Shusheng’s heart sank. ’If I hadn’t been decisive enough, I’d be a corpse right now.’

At that moment, under the Sword Qi’s assault, the Mountain-Breaking Seal rapidly shattered and disintegrated, cleaved in two. Wen Qingye continued to charge toward Hua Shusheng.

Hua Shusheng no longer dared to hold back. He circulated his body’s Primordial Qi to its absolute limit. The earthy-cyan halo around him intensified, almost becoming tangible, and an especially powerful aura pulsed from his palm.

”Cyan Yang Qi Hand!”

Hua Shusheng thrust his hand upward, and a massive Hand Seal came roaring down, seeming to press down on the very sky. Standing alone beneath the palm, Wen Qingye suddenly appeared minuscule.

”The Cyan Yang Qi Hand? The opening move of the Green Sun Sect’s Heaven-shattering Cyan Yang Palm. This Hua Shusheng is not bad. To be able to cultivate it in the Yin-Yang Realm is a testament to his talent,” Ding Youx said with a smile.

Li Xingyun nodded. ”He is indeed quite good. But I have a feeling he’s no match for Wen Qingye of the Celestial Profound Sect. I’m just curious if Wen Qingye will go all out.”

Wen Qingye’s expression was impassive as he shot into the air. He raised his sword forward, and in that instant, his figure seemed to magnify infinitely, an endless golden radiance emanating from his back.

”Sword Emperor Technique, Third Form! Fame That Shakes Mountains and Rivers!”

As the name of the technique was announced, its power was tyrannical and unparalleled, shaking the world in all directions. Executed by Wen Qingye now, it was even a notch stronger than before.

The power of the Cyan Yang Qi Hand seemed to contain a small mountain. Wherever it passed, Primordial Qi exploded, surging like a tide as it rushed entirely toward Wen Qingye.

SQUELCH! BOOM! SQUELCH! BOOM!

The sounds of Sword Aura striking the Hand Seal and the roiling of Sword Qi rose and fell, a heart-stopping cacophony.

PTUI!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Hua Shusheng’s inner layer of Protective Primordial Qi had already shattered. A bone-deep gash appeared on his chest. Inside his body, Sword Qi rampaged, severing his meridians and flesh, and his orderly-circulating Primordial Qi was hacked to pieces.

Seeing Wen Qingye continue to walk toward him, Hua Shusheng said in terror, ”I am a core disciple of the Green Sun Sect—”

SQUELCH!

He never finished his last word. A stream of Sword Qi lopped off his head, and a geyser of blood and water shot several dozen feet into the air.

After killing Hua Shusheng, Wen Qingye turned his eyes to the few who had been clamoring earlier. His gaze was filled with a chilling killing intent, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale as they stumbled backward.

Silence!

The surroundings were completely quiet!

At this moment, the crowd couldn’t help but recall the incident on the Qinglan Platform. Wen Qingye dared to kill even a disciple of the Taiyi Pavilion, so what were they in comparison? At that thought, a chill ran down their spines, and a sour taste filled their mouths.

Wul Hua said softly, ”Has he intimidated them?”

He knew Wen Qingye had killed Hua Shusheng to intimidate the crowd. Otherwise, if everyone had swarmed him at once, not even Wen Qingye—let alone an ordinary Destruction Realm expert—could have withstood it.

But things were different now. Seeing Wen Qingye kill Hua Shusheng with a single sword strike, the crowd was scared out of their wits. Who would dare to make a move now?

A gentle indifference, and an iron-blooded decisiveness to kill. Wen Qingye had never lacked either.
