Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 207, Departure

In the vast garden, there was a dead silence. Even Lin Wuying, who was standing aside ready to watch the show, had a trace of astonishment in his eyes. He considered himself slightly stronger than Lin Qing because of a fortunate encounter during recent training, but he doubted he could withstand a single strike from Chu Ming.

"So strong!"

Facing Chu Ming, Lin Wuying had no desire to compete at all; they were simply not on the same level.

Whoosh!

A green shadow flew by; it was an elder of the Lin Family. His body soared through the air, gently catching Lin Qing and landing steadily on the ground. The Lin Family elder checked Lin Qing’s pulse, took out a healing elixir from his storage ring, and then gave Chu Ming a deep look.

"Patriarch, it’s just a minor injury. He’ll recover in no time."

The Lin Family elder handed Lin Qing over to others and respectfully said.

"Young Master Chu, it was all a misunderstanding. Let’s not harm the peace."

Hearing this, Lin Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and understood that Chu Ming had shown mercy. Otherwise, with the strength Chu Ming had just displayed, he could have killed Lin Qing with a single blow.

"No problem!"

Chu Ming said indifferently. He turned and returned to Lin Yue’Er’s side, but everyone’s attitude towards him had completely changed. Even their gazes were filled with awe and respect.

In fact, Chu Ming did hold back just now. If he weren’t worried that Lin Qing’s injury would affect the upcoming competition with the Hu Family, he could have made Lin Qing bedridden for ten days or half a month instead of just giving him minor injuries.

"Let’s head out!"

Lin Qingxuan looked at Chu Ming, feeling even more confident about the upcoming match. The ownership of the Spirit Pool wasn’t important as long as it didn’t fall into the hands of their arch-enemy, the Hu Family.

Although Xiye Ridge was neither too far nor too close to Black Dragon City, the Lin Family, even as a small family in Black Dragon City, had their own flying magical beast. However, due to the prohibition of flying within the city, their flying magical beast was stationed outside the city.

Once out of Black Dragon City, a giant Black Eagle soared in the sky, occasionally letting out piercing calls that scattered the clouds, ensuring a hundred-mile radius was clear of any clouds.

The Black Eagle’s eyes were as sharp as blades, its claws gleaming coldly. Its wings spanned over fifty meters, and with a light flap, it raised a storm of dust and swirling smoke on the ground.

Its black feathers stood up straight, and as it flew, it pierced through the surrounding air.

A Sixth Level Top Tier Demon Beast—the Black-winged Blood Eagle!

Even in the Black Wing Empire, Seventh Level demon beast mounts were exceptionally rare and monopolized by major families and elite clans. For a small family like the Lin Family, having a Sixth Level Top Tier demon beast was already impressive.

Whoosh!

The Black-winged Blood Eagle gave a slight shake, stirring up a gale. It then slowly descended, the dust on the ground swirling and spreading quickly in all directions.

"Get on!"

Once the Black-winged Blood Eagle steadied itself, Lin Qingxuan said to the Lin Family members.

"Yes!"

The Lin Family guards and elders leaped onto the Black-winged Blood Eagle’s back and stood firm. When Chu Ming stood on its back, he realized that it was incredibly spacious, easily accommodating nearly a hundred people with room to spare.

Lin Qing sat on one side, recovering from his injuries. His face was pale, and he cast a venomous glance at Chu Ming. This could be said to be his most crushing defeat. Even Lin Yu’Er needed some effort to defeat him, but today, Chu Ming had defeated him in just one move, utterly humiliating him.

"Hmph, Young Master Zhui is also in Black Dragon City. Twenty thousand lower grade spirit stones should be enough to hire him!"

Young Master Zhui was among the top hundred disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect’s Inner Sect, his strength surpassing Lin Qing’s by far. Although Chu Ming was strong, Lin Qing did not believe he could compare to Young Master Zhui.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After everyone had boarded the Black-winged Blood Eagle, it lightly flapped its wings, creating strong wind waves that sliced into the ground like swords, leaving deep gouges. Chu Ming swayed slightly but then stood firm.

"While we have time, let me introduce you to the Hu Family’s talents. To know your enemy is to secure victory."

At this moment, Lin Qingxuan, standing at the front of the Black-winged Blood Eagle, turned and spoke to the three beside him. Chu Ming listened intently. In fact, Lin Qing and Lin Wuying already had frequent dealings with the Hu Family and knew their background well, so Lin Qingxuan’s words were mainly for Chu Ming, despite his confidence in Chu Ming’s victory.

"Firstly, the Hu Family’s top talent is Hu Zipei, the Deputy General of Black Dragon City’s Guard Army, with cultivation at the True Dao Third Layer and trained in the Earth Level Low Tier Martial Technique, ’Blood Shadow Formless,’ bestowed by the Governor’s Mansion. Ordinary True Dao Seventh Layer martial artists are no match for him." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Speaking of Hu Zipei, Lin Qingxuan’s eyes showed a trace of solemnity. He had seen Zhu Hongxue use this Earth Level Low Tier Martial Technique with fast and decisive killing efficiency. With this technique, Zhu Hongxue, at the True Dao Fourth Layer, had killed a True Dao Eighth Layer martial artist, earning a fearsome reputation in Black Dragon City.

Although the Lin Family also had some Earth Level Martial Techniques, they were not as refined or powerful as ’Blood Shadow Formless.’

"The second one to participate will likely be Hu Zifei of the Hu Family. His cultivation is also at the True Dao Third Layer, but his swordsmanship is incredibly exquisite. He has defeated numerous Sword Dao Masters consecutively and is rumored to have inherited a Sword Dao technique, soaring to prominence since then!"

Lin Qingxuan continued.

"No matter how exquisite his swordsmanship, does it compare to mine?"

At this moment, Lin Qing spoke with a pale face, full of arrogance.

Chu Ming frowned slightly and said indifferently, "If I were you, I wouldn’t say such words!"

"You..."

Lin Qing’s face changed, vividly recalling that these were the exact words Chu Ming had spoken before their match. Realizing this, his face turned even more sullen.

"As for the third member of the Hu Family, according to spies, they might also have hired external support, though who it is remains known only to Hu Long himself!"

Lin Qingxuan frowned. The only unsettling matter now was this uncertainty—who would their opponent be? Everything was shrouded in the unknown.

However, when he considered Chu Ming’s potential, he felt a bit more secure. In his eyes, although Chu Ming’s strength hadn’t reached the level of the Four Heroes of Black Dragon City, it wasn’t far off. Their chances of victory were still substantial.
