Chapter 721: Xiao Chen Draws the Saber

Hidden Dragon in the Depths, the gentleman plans before taking action; Soaring Dragon, the dragon soars through the nine heavens, shaking the world!

Surging energy rushed through Xiao Chen’s body. The hidden Azure Dragon Martial Spirit in Xiao Chen’s dantian burst into motion and leaped out.

Xiao Chen also took a step forward in the air. He gently raised his leg and stepped down. However, space shook and trembled as he did so.

The Azure Dragon Martial Spirit charged out. Just as it was about to leave Xiao Chen’s body, Xiao Chen drew his saber.

Xiao Chen turned into a True Dragon and merged with the saber as if he was a True Dragon that had hidden for a long time. Then, he soared upwards.

The sharp saber light seemed like a soaring True Dragon swinging its Dragon Claw in fury. Soaring Dragon…a perfect fusion of man and saber.

There were no openings. At this moment, Xiao Chen was a dragon, a soaring dragon. No one could stop him, no one could get in his way. His saber was the claws of this dragon.

Xiao Chen now completely grasped the feeling for Soaring Dragon that he had been unable to catch all this time. His mind was totally clear. He saw nothing else but Niu Deng and Dan Tianyu, who executed their Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques as well.

“Bang!”

The peerless Saber Technique flashed and shattered Niu Deng’s and Dan Tianyu’s incomplete Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques.

They were all Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques. However, one had mastered his technique while the others were just going through the motions. At this point, they all were not on the same level.

In that instant, when seen from a distance, Xiao Chen looked like a True Dragon. He carried a peerless might as he soared up.

Niu Deng and Dan Tianyu blocked Soaring Dragon momentarily before getting knocked back.

The wild saber Qi easily broke the two’s protective Quintessence shields. Then it left a slew of wounds on their bodies, sending blood splattering everywhere.

Terrifying wounds covered the two’s bodies. The injuries were so deep that bones were visible, inflicting excruciating pain.

“Qiang!”

Xiao Chen withdrew his saber and sheathed it; finally, he turned around. Standing calmly in the air, he looked at the two moaning on the ground, then at Ximen Bao, who had been scared silly, not far away.

A vague trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes, but he remained silent. After a while, he rode the Azure Dragon image and went far away until he was nothing more than a silhouette in everyone’s eyes.

At this moment, these people did not realize that they could only keep chasing after Xiao Chen from now on. Once Xiao Chen surpassed them, they would never catch up.

Ximen Bao was quite agitated. He had noticed the trace of disappointment in Xiao Chen’s eyes.

That look indicated contempt for him. Ximen Bao was an outstanding talent, only weaker than the seven giants, and yet a nameless white-robed bladesman looked down on him.

Ximen Bao’s agitation aggravated his wounds; he could not help but cough violently. The more he coughed, the more he hurt. In the end, he actually coughed out a large mouthful of blood.

In truth, Ximen Bao did not know that before Xiao Chen’s cultivation of Vital Qi had improved, Xiao Chen could already escape him easily. Xiao Chen was not as simple as Ximen Bao imagined.

Now, Xiao Chen’s cultivation had improved, and he had refined his Quintessence twice again. His Vital Qi crossed the one-thousand-ton threshold. Furthermore, he comprehended the essence of Soaring Dragon.

Surpassing Ximen Bao was naturally no challenge for Xiao Chen. It was all logical.

Now, within the younger generation of the Tianwu Domain, only the seven giants would be able to suppress Xiao Chen.

“I remember who he is now!”

Suddenly, an excited shout rose from the back of the crowd. That person seemed rather eager. “He is that White Robed Bladesman from the Supreme Sky Sect, the one who challenged Bai Wuxue!”

Someone had purposely disseminated the news of Xiao Chen challenging Bai Wuxue on Giant Sword Peak. As a result, this news had already spread everywhere in the Tianwu Domain; most people knew about it.

However, a large number of people just took it as a joke and did not put too much credence in it. Some even called Xiao Chen crazy.

However, when these people saw Xiao Chen defeat Ximen Bao, Niu Deng, and Dan Tianyu, none of them dared to underestimate Xiao Chen or say he was crazy.

“That person is him? This is incredible. No matter what, he does have the qualifications to challenge Bai Wuxue now.”

“The seven giants of the Tianwu Domain have held their positions firmly like a mountain for so long, suppressing the others in the younger generation. Perhaps the situation that has not changed for many years will finally change.”

“He should be going to the burial grounds. Bai Wuxue is already there. Let’s go. Let’s go and watch.”

“Don’t bother searching for treasures anymore. Let’s go and see. I really want to know what kind of sparks will fly when Bai Wuxue meets this person.”

The various sect disciples all became excited. They could not prevent their blood from boiling with enthusiasm. They all gave up on treasure hunting and quickly headed out in the direction Xiao Chen had taken.

Soon, all the other cultivators disappeared, leaving only Ximen Bao, Niu Deng, and Dan Tianyu. The place now became silent.

Earlier, the three had been about to engage in a great battle, the focus of everyone here.

No one expected that in the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen would steal the limelight. No one cared about the three, who had completely lost the audience’s interest.

Niu Deng struggled to stand up. His earlier rage had already vanished. With a remarkably calm expression, he reprimanded himself, “The meaning behind a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique is the most important. I have to go back and properly comprehend my own Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. Otherwise, I will not be worth even a dog’s fart.”

After saying that Niu Deng did not care about anything else. He actually turned back and gave up on additional fortuitous encounters in the True Dragon Cave. Perhaps this was the best fortuitous encounter for him, something that would push him further in his cultivation, something superior to any treasure.

Ximen Bao also felt a profound impact. He muttered, “I finally understand the difference between the seven giants and me. An expert only weaker than the seven giants in the Tianwu Domain…”

He laughed at himself in self-mockery and said, “I used to think that this was a great title. But now that I think about it, it is simply a joke. The number of people only weaker than the seven giants is at least eighty, if not a hundred. However, there are only seven of the seven giants. What do I even count for?”

Feeling incomparable mental fatigue, Ximen Bao shook his head. Then, he followed in Niu Deng’s footsteps and headed back.

Perhaps losing this Dragon Mark Fruit might not be a bad thing.

Now, only Dan Tianyu remained. He could not just put down everything and leave. He was already so old and had to use this opportunity to find a chance to break through to half-Sage.

If Dan Tianyu could not seize this chance, he would remain stuck at peak late-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch forever.

“The burial ground has the remains of the True Dragons. However, the competition there will be too intense. I will not be able to obtain any good stuff. Fortunately, everyone left this place. I will just look around here.”

Dan Tianyu treated his injuries and started to search around. He hoped to find a few treasures that others had missed and exchange them for cultivation resources.

--

Xiao Chen stood on the Azure Dragon image as it moved up and down. With the map guiding him, he advanced very quickly.

The burial grounds held the remains of True Dragons.

A True Dragon’s skeleton and the rest of its body were all treasures. Just a single True Dragon bone would be sufficient for forging several top-quality bone weapons. It could also be ground into powder and used in the production of many more, rare Medicinal Pills.

A portion of the spine of a True Dragon could be used to forge a bone whip, which would be a powerful weapon.

As far as Xiao Chen was concerned, all he needed was a True Dragon spine for the dragon marrow hidden inside. However, that would depend on his luck. Not every True Dragon remains would have it.

If there were no surprises, all the half-Sage experts in this experiential training would be here in this burial ground. These included not just the Tianwu Continent’s seven giants and loose cultivators but loose cultivators from the Fiend Race as well.

It was obvious that the fight in the burial grounds would be incredibly intense.

Under the watch of so many half-Sages, it would be incredibly hard for Xiao Chen to obtain the dragon marrow. It was unknown if he would be able to get what he wanted.

After about seven or eight minutes, the burial grounds appeared before Xiao Chen.

This was a very spacious cave. When one looked up, the ceiling was at least a kilometer high.

The thick aura of a True Dragon permeated the enormous cave. A vast Dragon’s Might drifted around the place, making it hard to breathe.

There were five True Dragon remains in there. Each True Dragon remains had at least two teams contesting for it fiercely.

This was especially so for the central True Dragon remains. It was the largest one and had seven or eight half-Sages fighting an intense battle there. The other cultivators did not dare to approach carelessly.

All sorts of energy fluctuations spread through the air, never stopping for a single minute. Weapons clashed without pause.

The place seemed extremely chaotic. Occasionally, the miserable shrieks of cultivators rang out. Everyone killed until their eyes turned red for the sake of the most precious treasure in this True Dragon Cave.

Xiao Chen looked around and finally found Shui Lingling.

Shui Lingling currently led Hu Hai and the rest in a fight against Bai Wuxue and the other Extreme Yin Sect disciples for one of the True Dragon remains.

However, the situation did not look good for Shui Lingling’s side. While she fought on even terms with Bai Wuxue, Hu Hai and the others were losing ground to the group of Extreme Yin Sect disciples. The situation seemed dire.

If the Extreme Yin Sect’s true inheritors defeated Hu Hai and the others, they would be free to go and help Bai Wuxue, breaking the stalemate between Bai Wuxue and Shui Lingling.

By then, Shui Lingling and her group would not be able to obtain the True Dragon remains.

When Xiao Chen noticed Wang Cheng, he paused for a moment to suppress the murderous intent in his heart. Then, he grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber and calmly flew over to Shui Lingling and the others.

The largest Rank 9 sect in the north, the Extreme Yin Sect had two known Martial Emperors and deep resources. It was more powerful than the Supreme Sky Sect.

The true inheritors of the Extreme Yin Sect were slightly stronger than the Supreme Sky Sect’s. Hu Hai, Jun Si, Wang Cheng, and Chen Xiao were all facing one person each. However, they struggled against their respective opponents.

Hu Hai and the others had already accumulated several wounds on their bodies, and their combat prowess suffered as a result. The situation was dangerous.

“Hehe, Hu Hai, you won’t be able to hold on for much longer. Just give up. This True Dragon remains will be our Extreme Yin Sect’s.”

Hu Hai’s opponent was a tall and skinny person, who wore blue robes and held a sword in his hand.

He used his exquisite Sword Techniques and deep cultivation to suppress Hu Hai’s huge ax, not allowing him to display its full potential.

In the first place, a huge ax required wide swings and great momentum. If nothing got in its way, it was a very tyrannical weapon. However, at this moment, Hu Hai had to duck and evade in a flurry; he could only passively defend.

That Extreme Yin Sect swordsman dictated the rhythm of the battle. He forced Hu Hai into a very sorry state. When Hu Hai got careless, he tore open Hu Hai’s protective Quintessence and left another sword wound.

Hu Hai clenched his teeth and did not say anything. He did his best to resist his opponent’s attacks, trying to find an opportunity to turn things around.
