Chapter 760: Slaying the Dragon

Looking at the group that had surrounded them, Su Mi stepped forward with his sword, blocking the young lady in front of him.

“Lolan Senior Sister, may I take the liberty to teach these people a lesson?” he asked. As a true disciple of the Condensed Purple Night Illumination Palace, he was far superior to these extraordinary beings who came from heterodox backgrounds.

Lolan Hill shook her head. “Withdraw for now. If they wish to compete, let them do so.”

Seeing that both sides had agreed, Ye Zhen knew there was no changing their minds. He ordered the area to be cleared again and raised the protective barrier.

“Haha, you’re quite bold, not even bringing your helper,” Ling Hu said, watching as the young lady entered the field and raised her right hand, signaling the Executioner from the巡查坊 (Patrol Supervision Pavilion) to step down.

After settling in, Lolan Hill looked at the large man behind her back, holding a broadsword. She then gestured to Su Mi beside her to pass her a twig.

The twig turned in her palm, its rough bark falling away to reveal smooth, pale wood. She ran her finger along the sword, removing any excess, and instantly a smooth, sharp wooden sword formed in her hand.

“The technique is like returning to simplicity, one cannot underestimate it,” whispered some of the senior disciples from the main sects standing afar.

They were not those empty-headed nobles; many were geniuses in their own sects. They naturally understood how intricate the skill needed to be to achieve such perfection.

“It seems this competition will not be plain.”

“Patrol Supervision Pavilion, Shi Lei Yin!”

In the arena, a sturdy man simply bowed and then drew the broadsword from behind him. The blade was dark, with blood grooves on either side and inscribed runes in the middle. It was about two meters long, taller than little Lolan.

After grasping the longsword, the man did not speak much. Running across the ground, he swung the sword down with force, the sword’s momentum like thunder, breaking the air and exploding with a loud crack.

Lolan Hill stood still on the ground with her wooden sword in hand, waiting until the sturdy man swung his thunderous sword down. Her body suddenly moved.

Her movements were light as a feather and swift as lightning. In a fleeting moment, it seemed as if three young ladies crossed paths, passing by the sturdy man silently.

Then, the heavy sword struck the ground, creating a crater as if from a thunderclap, but the sturdy man’s face turned pale instantly. He staggered a few steps before sitting down on the ground.

Blood trickled from the edges of his body, turning the surrounding earth red as mist.

The originally thick broadsword also scattered into several smooth segments, scattering all over the ground.

The arena was silent, watching as the young lady turned quietly and walked slowly back to her previous position. It was only then that Judge Ye Zhen’s voice echoed.

“Xiangyu Sect, Lolan wins.”

Because of his surprise, he read the words with an extra syllable. Only then did Ye Zhen realize and look at the tranquil figure before him.

Even those sixth-rank true disciples from the major sects would find it difficult to win against this expert from the Patrol of the Netherworld. They didn’t want everything to end so abruptly before it even began.

Lolan Hill could already face these major sect’s true disciples at the fourth rank; now that she has advanced to the fifth rank, victory comes naturally.

Aru Mi, who was watching the match, was not surprised by this outcome. Not only had he seen the terrifying strength and extensive knowledge of this senior sister within the sect, but he also knew her background was extraordinary. She might become someone like the Five Phoenixes in the future, which is why he respected her so much.

Seeing the young lady easily win, Ling Hu, who was observing, furrowed his brows and waved his hand, signaling the servants to bring some items urgently.

“The next match, White Toad Gate, Li Hui Ping, versus Xiangyu Sect, Lolan,” announced Ye Zhen.

“Hold on,” said Ling Hu as he saw several attendants enter from outside, feeling slightly relieved, and raised his hand to stop them.

“This time, I’ll take care of it.”

After saying this, he accepted the two precious wooden boxes brought by the servants.

From one of the wooden boxes, he took out a light and colorful seven-colored gauze robe, and from the other, he took out a fist-sized transparent treasure pearl.

[Seven-Colored Gauze Robe] (Rare Coral Rank): Made from the weaving of rainbow light and illusionary cloud silk taken from Lu Ning Dyeing Workshop on Mo Shang Continent, it can conceal oneself and hide one’s presence, appearing almost transparent. Additionally, it can change one’s size, providing protection.

[Water Dragon Treasure Pearl] (Extraordinary Coral Rank): Formed by the extraordinary water dragon, it assists in transforming into a dragon and greatly enhances the strength of the dragon form.

After putting on the gauze robe, his entire figure became half-hidden and half-visible. Then, holding the pearl in one hand and the green glow longsword in the other, he stepped into the arena.

Seeing the opponent’s cautious demeanor, Lolan Hill remained calm, allowing the opponent to start their move.

After Ye Zhen declared the start, the figure of Young Master Ling Hu suddenly vanished into thin air, followed by a long dragon’s roar echoing above the Ye Mansion.

The white and faintly green dragon scales overlapped each other across his body, reflecting like gems under the sunlight.

The dragon, about a hundred meters long, was wandering in the sky.

Observing this dragon’s body, which was as powerful as Sequence 7, the crowd below began to whisper among themselves.

“This must be the simulated Sequence 7·Misty Jade Python Dragon, transformed. With those treasures enhancing him, he can maintain this form for a few minutes.”

“Let’s see if she, Miss Lolan, can defeat him within these few minutes.”

Before the words had even faded, the python dragon in the sky spewed clouds and mist, soon obscuring the sky. Then, a sudden green lightning struck, shattering the courtyard.

Lolan Hill raised her wooden sword, instantly swinging it to disperse dark blue sword shadows, countering the power of the heavenly thunder. Although she herself remained unharmed, the sword was shattered by the lightning strike.

Looking at the scorched white powder of lightning in her palm, the young lady silently thought, it seems I need to use some real skills now.

In the fierce wind, she extended her right hand amidst the falling drizzle.

Instantly, a huge scythe taller than a person appeared in her hand, the blade curved like a crescent moon, glinting with cold light, followed by the dull, slender handle being grasped by the young lady.

Another bolt of heavenly thunder descended, directly targeting the girl in the arena.

With a flash of dim light, the world suddenly fell silent; the sounds of thunder, wind, raindrops, and discussions all vanished.

That dreamlike figure broke through the sky, quickly turning a tiny arc to avoid the stunning electric arcs, then slashing through the dark clouds, a bright white mark splitting through the dense clouds.

The visitors below could only see the dim light flickering like a butterfly weaving through flowers, slicing the sky with white marks, where dragon roars and lightning flashed continuously, followed by sharp metallic grinding noises.

Scales like glass, interspersed with red streaks, began to fall from the sky.

Finally, a strong flash of light burst in the sky, dispersing the layers of clouds. Only to see the blue-green python dragon directly split in half by a massive arc of light.

The long dragon let out a mournful cry, its heavy flesh crashing to the ground, stirring up countless droplets of water, blood, and dust.

Only when the sunlight returned to the earth did that black-haired, black-eyed young lady gracefully descend from the sky.

Gentle winds like silk entwined around her, revealing her fair skin through the fluttering sleeves. As her hair danced, the flawless, ethereal face appeared before the world.

A phoenix came from the west, holding a green branch in its mouth, landing and blooming flowers, thus giving birth to the six kingdoms. —— “The Biography of the Azure Phoenix”
