Chapter 616: Slaying Fang Cangsong!
Chapter 616: Slaying Fang Cangsong!
Fang Cangsong’s speed was astonishing. It seemed Lin Xuan wouldn’t be able to catch up. After all, Fang Cangsong was desperately burning his Spiritual Power and fleeing at any cost. His speed was simply incredible. Unless Lin Xuan also resorted to burning his own Spiritual Power, he stood no chance. But doing so would cause significant self-harm, possibly even causing his cultivation realm to drop.
Would Lin Xuan really risk everything? the crowd wondered, debating fervently among themselves. The hearts of the Ye Family members were gripped with anxiety.
Clan Leader Ye spoke up, "Young Master Lin doesn’t need to risk his life."
"Lin Xuan, just let him go!" Madam Ye added.
Ye Qingwu pleaded, "Lin Xuan, your safety is what’s most important! You have a boundless future ahead of you; there’s no need to risk it all now."
She was right. Lin Xuan had only just managed to break through to the second stage of the Ten Thousand Dragon Body. If he were to gamble it all away now and suffer a drop in his realm, the loss would far outweigh any gain.
Yet, Lin Xuan simply stated, "There’s no need to take such risks. Catching him will be as easy as flipping my hand."
Everyone was stunned into silence by his words.
Catch Fang Cangsong without taking any risks? What kind of joke is that? they thought disbelievingly. Even with two sixth-grade weapons, you can’t possibly catch him! Neither of those weapons increases your speed. They concluded that Lin Xuan must be boasting.
Fang Cangsong himself let out a cold sneer. Catch up to me? In your dreams!
With a flicker of his body, he prepared to vanish from sight completely. But in that exact instant, Lin Xuan’s figure disappeared from where he stood, only to reappear directly in front of Fang Cangsong.
"What?!" everyone gasped. "Heavens, what are we seeing? Lin Xuan actually caught up with Fang Cangsong! How did he do that?!" The crowd was completely dumbfounded.
Fang Cangsong was utterly dumbstruck, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets. He just caught me? Just like that? What kind of joke is this! How can his speed be so fast? Can he really traverse the void?
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Fang Cangsong roared, desperately trying to flee once more, this time veering to the right.
He burned the very last of his Spiritual Power, but in the next moment, Lin Xuan appeared before him yet again. Fang Cangsong finally broke down. He froze on the spot, his mind going completely blank.
It was all over. Lin Xuan swung the Divine Sword in his hand, and with a single clean slash, he severed Fang Cangsong’s head from his shoulders. The headless corpse collapsed to the ground. He died with his eyes wide in disbelief, never understanding, even in his final moment, how Lin Xuan had managed to catch him.
The onlookers in the distance were equally stunned, their minds blank. The Alliance Leader of the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance stood wide-eyed in shock! Clan Leader Ye gasped! Madam Ye and Ye Qingwu stared in utter disbelief! Wan Er was frozen in astonishment! Qingyou was so terrified she nearly fainted.
THUMP. Situ Hang collapsed to his knees.
Nearby, the True Dragon Sect Leader’s body trembled uncontrollably.
He was dead. Fang Cangsong was well and truly dead. Lin Xuan had actually slain a Grandmaster! It was too incredible, simply heaven-defying! His methods were too powerful.
And that final, impossibly elusive Body Technique was even more shocking. What in the world was that? It was practically teleportation! Just how many secrets is this kid hiding? How many trump cards does he have? Is this his limit?
The True Dragon Sect Leader didn’t know. No one knew. They were all completely terrified by Lin Xuan’s display of power.
Only Lin Xuan snorted coldly. Trying to outrun me is truly ridiculous. My Body Technique is the Lesser Void Technique, an art that allows one to traverse the void. Although he had only just mastered it, its speed already far surpassed anything Fang Cangsong could achieve.
Having finally killed Fang Cangsong, Lin Xuan let out a long sigh of relief as a smile touched his lips. With a flick of his finger, a ball of Anomalous Fire shot out and enveloped Fang Cangsong’s corpse. A moment later, nothing but ashes remained.
"Victory! Young Master Lin won!" The Alliance Leader of the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance shouted, finally snapping out of his daze. "Fang Cangsong has been turned to ash!"
The Tianyang Alchemy Alliance erupted in cheers, and the members of the Ye Family were overcome with excitement. A formidable enemy had been completely eradicated.
"Amazing!"
"Young Master Lin is mighty!"
"Young Master Lin is invincible!"
They chanted his name with wild enthusiasm.
The members of the other families and sects were just as astounded. When they looked at Lin Xuan, their eyes were filled with awe. This young man is too strong. He’s probably the most powerful person on Dragon Island now. That has to be it. Even after transforming into a demon, Fang Cangsong still died. No one is his match. Perhaps not even the True Dragon Sect Leader could stand against him now.
The True Dragon Sect Leader walked over and respectfully cupped his fists in a deep bow to Lin Xuan. "Young Master Lin, I deeply apologize for my previous disrespect. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. The True Dragon Sect is willing to comply with any request you may have. We only hope that you will be magnanimous and spare our sect."
The elders and disciples of the True Dragon Sect were dumbfounded.
Their Sect Leader is actually apologizing to Lin Xuan? Begging him for mercy?! This is unbelievable! It feels like a dream...
The True Dragon Sect Leader turned his head and barked coldly, "What are you all still standing there for? Get over here and apologize to Young Master Lin!
"Do you want the True Dragon Sect to be turned to ash?!"
Those elders were stunned for a moment. They knew that with Lin Xuan’s strength and ruthless methods, they truly wouldn’t be able to stop him if he decided to act. They would all be sent to hell, and the True Dragon Sect could genuinely be annihilated. The thought made their scalps tingle with fear.
They scrambled over to Lin Xuan’s side and quickly bowed. "Young Master Lin, we have offended you! Please forgive us!"
"Young Master Lin, we were wrong! We were blind!"
Jian Wushuang also bowed in apology, his heart reeling in shock. Before, I didn’t give him a second thought... But now, before him, I am as insignificant as an ant.
The distant crowd was in an uproar when they saw this. Heavens, what are we seeing? The True Dragon Sect is apologizing! And with such sincerity! This is incredible! That’s the True Dragon Sect we’re talking about, the top-tier power of Dragon Island, the true overlord! Even they have bowed their heads. It seems Lin Xuan is truly invincible on Dragon Island now!
Seeing this, a wide, joyful smile lit up Ye Qingwu’s face. She felt genuinely happy and immensely proud of Lin Xuan.
Madam Ye cheered ecstatically, "Hahaha! Did you see that? That’s my son-in-law!
"The True Dragon Sect is bowing and apologizing to my son-in-law!"
She was overjoyed. With such a strong son-in-law, the Ye Family’s status will soar! We’re going to rise to prominence! From now on, the Ye Family will be the new overlord of Dragon Island!
The other Ye Family members also cheered wildly. Ye Ruxue, however, felt as if she were in a dream, standing completely stunned.
In stark contrast to the Ye Family’s excited atmosphere, a deathly silence fell over the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance. The faces of the Fire Dragon Sect members turned ashen.
We offended him too... This is bad. We must go apologize immediately and beg for Young Master Lin’s forgiveness! Otherwise, we are eternally doomed!
The members of the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance quickly rushed over. As they went, they urged Qingyou, "Master Qingyou, you must go and apologize as well!"
Meanwhile, the members of the Fire Dragon Sect also sprang into action. They turned to Situ Hang and said, "Master Situ, don’t just stand there! Hurry up and apologize! You must obtain Young Master Lin’s pardon, even if you have to kneel and beg for it!"
