Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Great Battle with the Outer Cloud Sword Sect

”Haha!”

A large crowd, including several strong cultivators from the Shaping God Realm, had quickly gathered. Despite being surrounded by formidable opponents, Jun Moxiao felt his blood boil with thrill and excitement.

”Little Junior Brother, it’s finally our turn to unleash our wrath today! We’re done living like fugitives!” Luo Li declared. She held the Supreme Golden Dragon Sword, her beautiful face flushed crimson with excitement.

”Indeed, Senior Sister!” Jun Moxiao affirmed. Armed with the Chaos Element Unlimited Sword, his handsome, jade-like face took on an eerie, bewitching intensity.

He shared Luo Li’s sentiment. For years, they had been hounded like stray dogs. Today was finally their chance to display everything they had learned and make their ancestors proud. They would make the Outer Cloud Sword Sect the first sacrifice to their Dragon God Sect’s might.

”Kill!” Luo Li scanned the powerful enemies and laughed heartily, her voice ringing with heroic abandon.

BOOM!

With a gentle stomp of her foot, a phantom Divine Dragon materialized behind her. This Divine Dragon was golden-yellow and dozens of feet tall. Though a phantom, it felt incredibly real, especially its pair of golden, vertical pupils, which exerted immense pressure.

Jun Moxiao also laughed loudly. With a slight movement, a golden dragon phantom appeared behind him as well.

This was the true opening stance of the Dragon God Sword Technique. With the golden dragon borne on their backs, a single sword could slay all under heaven! When the golden dragon emerged, none dared to contend against it!

For the past half-month, Ye Yun had been teaching them diligently, re-explaining the Dragon God Sword Technique from the beginning. After all, the Dragon God Sect’s teachings had deteriorated significantly through the generations, from Ye Yun’s thirteenth to Luo Li’s two hundred and ninety-eighth. Consequently, the Dragon God Sword Technique Luo Li and her peers had learned was merely a tenth of the original.

This dragon-summoning opening stance was a hallmark of the Dragon God Sword Technique. By carrying the golden dragon on their back, the surging Dragon Blood within them would grant power like a raging river, allowing them to unleash the true might of the Dragon God Sword Technique.

”This...” The disciples of the Outer Cloud Sword Sect blanched in terror at the sudden appearance of the two golden dragons and scrambled back in fear.

As a result, only the powerful cultivators of the Shaping God Realm and a few at the Tenth Layer Peak of the Origin Sea Realm remained in the vast square.

The Supreme Elder gazed at the two golden dragon phantoms, his pupils deep and unfathomable, his thoughts hidden.

Li Qingshan also felt immense pressure. Especially from the young man at the Fourth Level of the Shaping God Realm; Li Qingshan had a dreadful premonition that if he dared to make a move, he would inevitably meet a bloody end.

What kind of swordsmanship is this? Why is it so powerful?

The surrounding Elders of the Shaping God Realm all wore expressions of horror. Among them, some had only just reached the First Level of the Shaping God Realm.

”Kill them! Leave no survivors!” the Supreme Elder commanded, his face cold. He brandished his sword skyward, signaling the attack.

Li Qingshan was the first to charge forward. His target was not Jun Moxiao, but Luo Li. In his eyes, Luo Li, only at the First Level of the Shaping God Realm, seemed like the softer target.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Sword light, like roiling clouds, descended from the sky. This was the Outer Cloud Sword Technique, the strongest in the Outer Cloud Sword Sect. Li Qingshan had immersed himself in this swordsmanship for many years, and its power was immense.

”Well met!” Luo Li declared. The golden dragon phantom on her back pulsed with an incredibly strong aura. She held the Supreme Golden Dragon Sword and charged towards Li Qingshan. The Sword Qi from her blade, like a coiling dragon, pierced towards Li Qingshan’s cloud-like sword light.

A thunderous explosion ripped through the air! Her golden dragon Sword Qi instantly shattered the impenetrable Outer Cloud Sword Technique.

In the blink of an eye, a golden serpentine streak of Sword Qi was upon him. Li Qingshan, startled, hastily swung his sword to block, dodging aside just in time.

Unexpectedly, the golden dragon Sword Qi was incredibly deceptive. It bizarrely changed direction, pursued him, and struck his left arm. SLICE! His left arm was severed by the golden dragon Sword Qi.

Li Qingshan screamed in pain and hastily retreated.

”What?!” The Supreme Elder watched this, inwardly astounded. I didn’t expect this young girl, despite her low cultivation realm, to possess such astonishing combat strength! Her swordsmanship, especially, is so exquisite it’s almost impossible to parry!

The entire square erupted into a battlefield.

Meanwhile, the other Elders swarmed Jun Moxiao. He unleashed the Dragon God Sword Technique, his sword light striking like divine dragons. Many were struck by his blade, sustaining injuries of varying severity. Almost no one was Jun Moxiao’s match.

The Supreme Elder’s eyes twitched. To think these two youngsters possess such formidable strength! he thought in shock.

”Little girl, die!” he roared, swinging his sword as he charged Luo Li.

Seeing the Supreme Elder charge at her, Luo Li dared not be careless. Relying on the Nine Changes of the God Dragon, she dodged to the side. Simultaneously, she counter-attacked with her sword, sending seven or eight streams of Sword Qi hurtling towards the Supreme Elder.

The two quickly engaged in fierce combat. After all, this Supreme Elder was at the Ninth Layer of the Shaping God Realm. No matter how astonishing Luo Li’s combat strength was, a significant gap remained between her and the Supreme Elder. After a few exchanges, she found herself at a disadvantage. However, relying on the Nine Changes of the God Dragon, she was not in immediate mortal danger.

The remaining cultivators, meanwhile, were furiously besieging Jun Moxiao. He fought as if divinely aided, displaying incredible might as he battled a dozen Elders from the Shaping God Realm and Origin Sea Realm. For a time, the fight was evenly matched and hard-fought.

As the battle progressed, more and more members of the Outer Cloud Sword Sect sustained injuries.

「Inside the black carriage.」

Ye Yun watched the somewhat desperate battle with a smile, lightly tapping his fingers on the armrest. He chose not to intervene yet. After all, this is all part of their training, he mused. These two are still young. Experiencing such life-and-death battles will be of immense benefit to them.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, reaching a fever pitch.

Jun Moxiao’s execution of the Dragon God Sword Technique became smoother, its power growing stronger. Gradually, he gained the upper hand. The disciples and Elders of the Outer Cloud Sword Sect fell injured one after another, their combat effectiveness severely diminished.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Dozens of golden dragon Sword Qi emanated outwards, blooming like a lotus. Accompanied by a dragon’s cry, all the Sword Qi lances shot out. A large number of the Outer Cloud Sword Sect’s Shaping God Realm Elders instantly collapsed.

Before Jun Moxiao, not a single opponent remained standing. All the Outer Cloud Sword Sect Elders who had besieged him were grievously injured, blood pooling on the ground. They lay gasping for breath, with no strength left to fight.

ROAR!

Having achieved such a satisfying slaughter, Jun Moxiao threw back his head and laughed heartily. Then, he whirled around.

”Senior Sister, I’m coming to help you!” Jun Moxiao roared. He merged with his sword, transforming into a golden dragon that streaked towards the Outer Cloud Sword Sect’s Supreme Elder.

The Supreme Elder, seeing Jun Moxiao had actually injured all the Shaping God Realm Elders of the Outer Cloud Sword Sect, was utterly astounded. Who could have imagined... this young man at the Fourth Level of the Shaping God Realm is so terrifying!

He let out a long cry, slashing with his sword. Sword light poured forth like quicksilver, rushing towards Jun Moxiao. Invigorated, Jun Moxiao met his attack, sword flashing. Despite being five minor cultivation levels below the Supreme Elder, Jun Moxiao showed not the slightest fear.

Meanwhile, Luo Li, who had been maneuvering, also launched a counterattack.

In an instant, the entire square was filled with crisscrossing Dragon Shadows and flashing sword light. Numerous surrounding buildings were destroyed one after another.
