Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 523: Chapter 518: Slaying the Flood Dragon Clan

Within the range of Ning Jiang’s Divine Sense, he could detect a group of figures up ahead. They had also clearly noticed the fluctuation of his Divine Sense and immediately shouted coldly, ”Who’s there?”

A few swimming sounds echoed through the dark seawater, and then a dozen or so figures appeared before the two of them.

”It’s you.”

Gu Huaying recognized them; their faces were familiar.

They were among the people Ao Lie had brought to the Celestial Treasure Auction, but neither Ao Lie nor Ao Fengfeng were present now.

’It seems I’m not the only one who found this place. The Flood Dragon Clan is here too. That means Ao Lie and Ao Fengfeng have probably already gone inside.’

Gu Huaying frowned. She had thought she was the only one to discover these Ancient Ruins. Now it seemed Ao Lie and his group were here as well, and she and Ning Jiang had arrived a step too late.

”Brat! It’s you!”

When the members of the Flood Dragon Clan saw Ning Jiang, their expressions immediately turned hostile, and killing intent filled their eyes.

”Miss Gu, my Flood Dragon Clan has already discovered these ruins, so they belong to us now. Of course, if you wish to enter, we can discuss it. However, this brat must stay. We’re going to capture him and drag him before Young Master Ao to answer for his crimes.”

As the Flood Dragon Clan experts spoke, they began to close in on Ning Jiang.

”Ning Jiang, do we fight?” Gu Huaying glanced at him.

”Do you even need to ask? Besides, don’t you want to kill them too?” Ning Jiang said indifferently.

”Hmph! The Flood Dragon King is pressuring my father, trying to make me marry Ao Lie. Of course I want to kill them!” Gu Huaying’s lovely eyes turned icy, every word laced with a biting chill.

”Fourteen of them. We’ll each take seven,” Ning Jiang said.

”Alright. Let’s see who’s faster.” A competitive glint flashed in Gu Huaying’s eyes. The Undying Celestial King valued Ning Jiang so highly; she wanted to see for herself what was so special about him.

”Kill.”

Having reached a tacit understanding, Ning Jiang was the first to attack.

CRACKLE!

Blazing bolts of thunder erupted from his body—seven of them in total, all incredibly thick—and shot out to kill.

”Arrogant.”

Seven masters from the Flood Dragon Clan stepped forward. Their fists, covered in scales, fiercely smashed into the thunderbolts.

BOOM.

Their fists shattered the thunderbolts, yet remained completely unharmed.

’Two at the Earth Martial Realm Late Stage and five at the Middle Stage. This will be a bit troublesome.’

Ning Jiang murmured. With the combined strength of these seven, they could match a cultivator at the Earth Martial Realm Peak. Taking them down would require some effort.

After all, his Cultivation was only at the Earth Martial Realm Early Stage. Defeating one Late Stage expert would be no problem, but two of them, plus five at the Middle Stage, put him under considerable pressure.

”Ning Jiang, surrender now and you’ll suffer less. Don’t think you can fight so many of us just because you’re a prodigy from the Hidden Dragon List,” a Flood Dragon Clan expert snorted coldly.

”A pack of crawling snakes. You think I can’t slay you?”

SHIIING.

A flash of sword light appeared in Ning Jiang’s hand as he unsheathed the Thunder Dragon Sword. It radiated an incredibly sharp Sword Qi that roiled the surrounding seawater, carving countless fissures through it.

”Slay.”

Ning Jiang brought his sword down. In an instant, a Thunder Sword Aura slashed out, instantly parting the seawater before him.

”I’ll take him.”

One of the Late Stage Earth Martial Realm Flood Dragon Clan experts roared, stepping forward to meet the attack head-on with his fist.

SCHLICK...

Fresh blood splattered. This time, the scales on his fist failed to block the vicious attack, leaving a deep gash on his fist.

”What a vicious attack!”

Everyone was shocked. The Flood Dragon Clan’s greatest advantage was their physical bodies; ordinary attacks couldn’t even break through their scales. Yet the power of Ning Jiang’s sword strike had actually managed to injure one of them.

And from the looks of it, Ning Jiang hadn’t even used his full power for that strike!

”Everyone, use your full power! Don’t waste any more time on him.”

The injured Flood Dragon Clan expert let out a long roar. As the sound faded, his body underwent a dramatic transformation, turning into a Flood Dragon dozens of yards long.

However, even among Flood Dragons, there were different classes. Ao Lie was a Pure-blooded Flood Dragon, but their bloodlines were far more diluted than his—not even half as pure.

Therefore, their current forms looked more like giant serpents, except serpents didn’t have claws, whereas sharp, vicious claws grew from their underbellies.

As he transformed into his true form, the other Flood Dragon Clan experts also turned into Flood Dragons.

”Human, our Flood Dragon Clan are the natural masters of the sea! In the water, our combat strength only increases. What makes you think you can fight us?”

The Flood Dragon Clan expert’s tremendous voice boomed, shaking the surrounding seawater relentlessly.

It twisted its body, arriving before Ning Jiang in the blink of an eye. Its massive claws shot out, grabbing for him.

”Sea-Splitting Claw.”

The Sea-Splitting Claw was a formidable Martial Arts technique of their Flood Dragon Clan.

As its claw descended, the seawater split apart, forming a massive fissure hundreds of feet wide. One had to remember this was deep beneath the sea where the water pressure was immense. Had this been on the surface, this single claw strike could have probably split the sea for thousands of feet.

”Get back.”

Ning Jiang slashed out with his sword. The Sword Aura shot forward and collided violently with the claw. The fierce Qi Force instantly blasted away the surrounding seawater.

The force of the sword strike sent his opponent flying back hundreds of feet.

”Attack together!”

He let out a furious roar and opened his mouth. The surrounding seawater began to flow continuously into his maw, gradually forming a sphere.

At the same time, the other Flood Dragons did the same, all opening their mouths to gather seawater.

In the span of just a few breaths, a sphere appeared before each of their mouths. A terrifying Energy radiated from within these spheres!

”Water Explosion Bomb!”

The seven Flood Dragons spat them out simultaneously.

The seven spheres instantly flew before Ning Jiang and exploded violently.

BOOM!

A deafening roar erupted. The terrifying Power unleashed in that instant was enough to make a Late Stage Earth Martial Realm expert perish.

”Great Mixed Cave Technique.”

Facing such an attack, Ning Jiang knew he could no longer hold back. A black hole appeared around his body, like a vortex, devouring everything.

The Energy from the explosion was completely absorbed by the black hole, leaving nothing behind.

”How is that possible?” the seven experts cried out in shock.

”Have a taste of your own medicine.” Ning Jiang smiled coldly. He activated the Great Mixed Cave Technique, releasing all the explosive Energy he had just absorbed.

”Aaargh!”

The space around them instantly roiled. The seven Flood Dragons shrieked in pain as their scales cracked and blood poured from their wounds.

”Sword Suppressing Sun and Moon.”

At the same time, Ning Jiang activated the third form of the Divine Sword Technique, transforming into a Heaven-Reaching Sword Light that slashed down viciously.

SCHLICK.

He cleaved the bodies of the seven Flood Dragons in two, and their blood instantly dyed the surrounding water red.
