Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 366 - 42: Revenge! Twelve Rounds!
Chapter 366: Chapter 42: Revenge! Twelve Rounds!
With Sun Chuanwu’s tragic death, the peak of Jinyu Peak descended into an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of the wind.
The crowd stared at Luo Cheng on the arena, utterly stupefied.
Everyone had witnessed Sun Chuanwu easily dispatch Lin Zhidong with two strikes—his strength was undeniable!
Before this battle, no one had imagined that Luo Cheng could defeat Sun Chuanwu so effortlessly.
Even less did they expect that Luo Cheng, facing the threats of Fierce Cloud Sect Elder Sun Yingyang, would hesitate not even for a moment!
He had brazenly slain Sun Chuanwu right in front of Sun Yingyang!
What kind of strength is this!
What kind of courage!
"Chuanwu!"
A furious cry shattered the silence.
Sun Yingyang looked at Sun Chuanwu’s shattered corpse on the arena, his blood boiling as his bloodshot eyes locked onto Luo Cheng, murderous intent surging:
"You little beast! Such audacity! I will tear you limb from limb!"
Boom!
Sun Yingyang’s Essence Energy erupted with a thunderous roar. As a Sixth Level Awakening Vein Realm fighter, his imposing aura surged, shaking the very space and forcibly rushing toward Luo Cheng!
Boom!
A spear shadow appeared mid-air, shattering the overwhelming aura.
"Hmph! Sun Yingyang, your outrageous behavior won’t be tolerated here!"
The Ninth Elder placed himself between Luo Cheng and Sun Yingyang, wielding a spear, his Essence Energy burning like raging flames. The powerful aura clashed directly with Sun Yingyang’s!
Luo Cheng lifted his gaze and stared straight at Sun Yingyang, his pupils flashing with piercing brilliance. He spoke coldly:
"Old wretch! Don’t be too hasty. Sooner or later, I’ll let you reunite with your son!"
"You seek death!"
Sun Yingyang’s face twisted in madness and he was about to act when someone stopped him.
The one who intervened was Fierce Cloud Sect Great Elder Ren Kui.
"Elder Sun, don’t act rashly!"
Ren Kui glanced at Elder Wu Shan.
Although he also wished to kill Luo Cheng, Elder Wu Shan had already issued a warning. Further disruption of the event would be defiance of his authority!
Elder Wu Shan was a Four Extremes Realm expert, with Great Chu Dynasty’s Extreme Dao Sect as his backing!
If they truly angered him, he could wipe them all out with a single strike!
Ren Kui shifted his gaze and looked deeply at Luo Cheng, then advised:
"Elder Sun, Luo Cheng dares to disregard and offend our Fierce Cloud Sect. He has committed a grave crime and certainly deserves death! But there’s no need for you to deal with him personally—Hua Jingyang and Fei Jue will avenge Sun Chuanwu!"
Fei Jue spoke, "Indeed, leave this man to me! I will use his blood to honor our fallen Junior Brother Sun!"
Sun Yingyang’s breath caught in his chest with nowhere to release it, his body shook violently.
He had high expectations for Sun Chuanwu, yet the latter had fallen here today!
Slain by Luo Cheng—the son of his nemesis Luo Hong!
He yearned to dismember Luo Cheng right now!
Yet, the situation left him powerless!
Huff! Huff!
Letting out heavy breaths, Sun Yingyang suppressed his inner fury and gritted his teeth, responding darkly:
"Remember! Don’t let him die too easily!"
"Heh, rest assured, Elder Sun. My Fast Sword will ensure that he stays conscious as he watches his own flesh and blood be stripped away piece by piece! By then, death will be his only release..."
Fei Jue cast a glance at Luo Cheng, sharp light flashing in his eyes, his aura radiating like Sword Qi.
Under everyone’s gaze, Luo Cheng calmly stepped off the arena.
From the direction of Luoxia Sect, Ninth Princess Jin Yuxi licked her lips nervously as she looked at Luo Cheng, exclaiming:
"No wonder he dares to provoke my eighth brother! This guy is unbelievably gutsy, outrageously bold!"
Even at such a distance, the aura Sun Yingyang had released left her uneasy, her breath shallow, yet Luo Cheng had dared to face it head-on.
Forget his strength—the bravery, the audacity! She could only admire from afar!
Jin Yuxi was already feeling impatient to introduce Luo Cheng to her eldest brother Jin Tiandu!
Yan Qingshuang remained silent as she gazed at Luo Cheng, a faint trace of doubt in her eyes.
The burst of brilliance from Luo Cheng’s earlier sword strike left her with a strange sensation.
That hardly seemed to be just Human Sword Integration Middle-stage!
"He mentioned having an insight—could it be true? But such ambiguous words, how could that be possible..."
Yan Qingshuang shook her head, dismissing the thoughts lingering in her mind.
Luo Cheng returned to the arena stands where Xuanyuan Sect was seated. The Ninth Elder immediately rushed to him.
"Luo Cheng, well done! Exceptionally well done!"
The Ninth Elder’s face beamed, his demeanor animated.
Since the start of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, he hadn’t felt so exhilarated.
In this battle, Luo Cheng not only earned him prestige but also brought honor to the entire Xuanyuan Sect!
The others looked at Luo Cheng with admiration in their eyes.
They had known Luo Cheng was strong, but Sun Chuanwu wasn’t weak either. His ability to dispatch Lin Zhidong with two strikes showed his strength had reached the Half-step Awakening Vein Realm. Despite this, he was easily and decisively slain, unable to resist Luo Cheng.
"Luo Cheng, killing Sun Chuanwu in front of Sun Yingyang means he won’t let this go."
"With Elder Wu Shan present, he won’t dare to act, but he’ll surely send Hua Jingyang and Fei Jue to kill you!"
"Be extremely cautious in your upcoming matches against these two. If you’re not confident, it’s better to concede!" Elder Chen Xuan advised.
The Ninth Elder added, "Indeed. You’ve already crushed their pride by killing Sun Chuanwu. Even if you choose to concede afterward, there’s no shame in it! As for your wager with Qin Douyuan, once the competition concludes, I guarantee your safety!"
Luo Cheng seated himself calmly, replying, "If they want to kill me, they’ll need the strength to do so."
The Ninth Elder froze, startled, and asked, "Are you confident you can fight them?"
"A little."
Luo Cheng nodded.
As his words fell, a shocking brilliance flashed in his eyes, pricking the senses of everyone present.
"This is...!!!"
The Ninth Elder stood in astonishment, taking a sharp breath, before his expression turned to one of admiration and excitement. His blood surged with emotion.
Sitting nearby, Elder Xue Yun and Elder Peng Shan exchanged glances, both visibly surprised.
Elder Peng Shan’s gaze flickered with traces of regret.
Elder Xue Yun’s face, however, glowed with enthusiasm, her smile radiating.
She had been worried earlier that Luo Cheng might concede all his subsequent matches.
If that were to happen, she couldn’t achieve the task Jin Min had entrusted her with!
Only with Luo Cheng continuing to fight could the Green Essence Blood Activating Pill’s effects be fully drawn out until it completely unleashed its power!
The thought crossed Xue Yun’s mind, and she laughed brilliantly, saying, "Luo Cheng, be extremely cautious in your match against them. Our Xuanyuan Sect wouldn’t want to lose a swordsmanship genius like you."
Luo Cheng cast a glance at Xue Yun, smiling faintly, "Rest assured, I won’t disappoint you."
The next few duels in Round Eleven proceeded, though almost nobody paid attention.
After the clash between Luo Cheng and Sun Chuanwu, the spectators’ expectations soared—all were focused on the upcoming peak confrontations between the top disciples of the Three Great Sects’ outer divisions.
The participants on the stage felt this anticipation, hastening to conclude their matches quickly.
Round Twelve!
Before the match details were announced, every gaze turned toward Luo Cheng, Yan Qingshuang, and Hua Jingyang.
This time, it was evident that Luo Cheng had drawn far more attention.
His performance in the earlier battle significantly boosted his reputation. His rising momentum now rivaled Yan Qingshuang and Hua Jingyang!
Many were eager to see the extent of his full combat abilities and to confirm whether he had truly awakened the rumored Wasted Martial Soul!
