Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 342: Drawing the Sword Shocks the World!

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Drawing the Sword Shocks the World!

What? Peak Two-Star? Is that for real?

Everyone was stunned. Was this Gu Linfeng really that strong? How could anyone fight against that? Could it be that he could really sweep through the entire Great Xia Country?

The news of this battle spread, once again shocking all of Great Xia Country.

Xiao Xun had actually lost, defeated in a single move. How could this have happened? Xiao Xun was a top-ten contender from the last competition, a true Two-Star Grandmaster. Was he so easily defeated?

Just how strong was this Gu Linfeng? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"It’s said that Gu Linfeng is a peak Two-Star Grandmaster!"

"Peak Two-Star? Is that for real?"

"That’s impossible."

"He’s not even twenty years old, is he? How can he be so powerful?"

Everyone was shocked.

"If he’s really that exceptional, even Lin Xuan wouldn’t be his match if he were still alive!"

"Yeah, according to the last reports, Lin Xuan’s combat strength was equivalent to a mid-stage Two-Star Grandmaster. That’s a far cry from the peak."

Someone else added, "I don’t believe this Gu Linfeng is at the peak of the Two-Star realm. That’s just too outrageous."

"I don’t believe it either."

Soon, a new prodigy issued a challenge. This time, the challenger was even stronger. It was Jian Fengyun, ranked fifth on the previous Hidden Dragon Chart, whose cultivation was at the mid-stage of a Two-Star Grandmaster. Even more people flocked to watch this time, wanting to see if Gu Linfeng could maintain his winning streak.

But the result shocked them all.

Gu Linfeng won again, defeating Jian Fengyun in a single move.

Heavens! Even a mid-stage Two-Star Grandmaster was defeated in a single move? Could this Gu Linfeng really be a peak Two-Star Grandmaster? If so, who could possibly be his match?

For a time, the Great Xia Country fell silent.

Chu Yue said, "If my brother were here, he could definitely defeat him."

Chu Yue’s brother was the previous champion, Chu Zhongtian. Everyone suddenly remembered that Great Xia Country still had such a peerless prodigy.

"Where is Chu Zhongtian? Quickly ask him to come and fight!"

"Yes, Chu Zhongtian is incredibly powerful. It was said he could defeat Grandmasters long ago."

"His current strength must be unfathomable."

"If he appears, he can surely defeat this guy!"

The people cried out for Chu Zhongtian. Many even went to the Heavenly Dao Institute, pleading for him to intervene.

At this moment, the people of the Star Pavilion felt immense pride. The Star Pavilion Master even sent people to find Chu Zhongtian. However, they soon discovered that Chu Zhongtian was currently in an Ancient Relic and would not be able to come out anytime soon.

「On the other side.」

Gu Linfeng also spoke. "I can’t stay here forever. I will only remain in Great Xia for one month, after which I will leave. During this month, you are welcome to challenge me as you please."

What? Only staying for one month? Could Chu Zhongtian return within a month? It seemed highly unlikely. Chu Zhongtian was apparently leading an expedition into an Ancient Relic and probably wouldn’t be back for several months. What were they to do? Everyone sighed in despair.

Next, others stepped up.

The fourth-ranked prodigy from the last Hidden Dragon Chart made a move, only to be defeated in a single blow.

The third-ranked prodigy challenged next and was also defeated in a single blow.

Even the third-ranked prodigy had been instantly defeated. Only the second and the first remained. The champion, Chu Zhongtian, was unlikely to return. That left only the runner-up. Could the second-ranked prodigy withstand him?

「The Celestial King Mansion.」

Many powerful figures had gathered here, discussing whether to intervene. The second-ranked prodigy on the last Hidden Dragon Chart was their mansion’s Second Crown Prince.

The Celestial King Mansion had been suffering heavy blows recently. First, the Young Prince was severely injured by Lin Xuan during the Hidden Dragon Battle. Their Celestial King Mansion was severely humiliated, becoming a laughingstock. Later, in an Ancient Relic, their Third Crown Prince was killed by Lin Xuan, bringing them further shame. Fortunately, Lin Xuan had also died in the Ancient Relic, which could be considered revenge. However, they had not regained the face they had lost.

Now, Liuyun Country had arrived aggressively, with Gu Linfeng defeating prodigy after prodigy. The pressure was now back on the Celestial King Mansion. Their Second Crown Prince, ranked second only to Chu Zhongtian, was their last hope. Should he accept the challenge? If he refused, they would be branded cowards, a disgrace to Great Xia Country. But if he accepted and lost, it would be equally humiliating. After all, Gu Linfeng was a very young expert, while the Second Crown Prince was an established genius. Losing to a junior would be a great loss of face.

The Celestial King summoned many elders to discuss the pros and cons. Some supported accepting the challenge, while others suggested, "Why not find an excuse not to fight? Just say he’s also gone to an Ancient Relic for training. We can just ride out this storm."

"No, I will fight." The Second Crown Prince walked in from outside the main hall. "I will accept the challenge."

"Second Crown Prince, don’t be reckless! If you lose, it will be a huge blow to our Celestial King Mansion!"

"Rest assured, I won’t lose." The Second Crown Prince unleashed his power.

Everyone gasped, "Late-stage Two-Star Grandmaster!"

"You’ve broken through?" The Celestial King’s face was filled with joyful surprise.

The Second Crown Prince nodded. "I just broke through."

"Excellent! This is truly excellent!" Everyone was ecstatic.

The Celestial King laughed heartily. According to their analysis, Gu Linfeng couldn’t possibly be a peak Two-Star Grandmaster; he was at most a late-stage Two-Star. Now that the Second Crown Prince was also at the late stage, the outcome of a fight was truly uncertain. If the Second Crown Prince could defeat Gu Linfeng, he would become the pillar of Great Xia, a hero who turned the tide. The face their Celestial King Mansion had lost would be instantly restored. Furthermore, their mansion would reach an unprecedented height.

The Second Crown Prince accepted the challenge.

The major families and sects of the Great Xia Country were not optimistic, as Gu Linfeng seemed too strong.

The Celestial King Mansion announced, "You don’t understand. The Second Crown Prince has already broken through to become a late-stage Two-Star Grandmaster."

What? The Second Crown Prince had actually broken through? Everyone was shocked. Perhaps he really could go head-to-head with Gu Linfeng.

"But isn’t Gu Linfeng a peak Two-Star?" someone asked, puzzled.

"The peak Two-Star claim must be an exaggeration. His strength is at most late-stage. There might be a chance to win this battle."

"Really?"

The crowd grew excited again, and even more people went to watch the duel. Even the royal family was thrilled. They never expected the Second Crown Prince of the Celestial King Mansion to have broken through; perhaps he could truly turn the tide.

Amidst great anticipation, the Second Crown Prince arrived at the battlefield. He looked at Gu Linfeng and said, "So you’re the number one on the Liuyun Chart. You’re quite arrogant! Great Xia Country is not a place for you to act so recklessly. I’ll let you know just how powerful a true genius of Great Xia Country is."

"With just you? You are not worthy," Gu Linfeng glanced at the Second Crown Prince and shook his head slightly.

"You dare to underestimate me?" The Second Crown Prince stepped forward, his power erupting from his body.

The onlookers all exclaimed, "It really is the late stage!"

"Hahaha, there’s hope for this battle!"

"Go, Second Crown Prince!"

"Second Crown Prince, defeat him! Uphold our nation’s might!"

"The Second Crown Prince will surely win," the people from the Celestial King Mansion declared excitedly.

"Tiger Demon Fist!" the Second Crown Prince roared. His body emitted crackling sounds as his frame suddenly expanded. He threw a punch, and the very air trembled. The surrounding crowd cried out in alarm, nearly forced to their knees by the pressure of the attack.

The people from the Celestial King Mansion were even more thrilled. "It’s here! The Tiger Demon Fist! This is the Second Crown Prince’s Ultimate Skill!" It seemed he was going all out from the very beginning. The Second Crown Prince transformed into a fierce tiger, pouncing viciously toward Gu Linfeng. Cracks spiderwebbed across the ground beneath Gu Linfeng’s feet.

Gu Linfeng’s expression grew serious. "A powerful Fist Technique. You are worthy of me drawing my sword." He grasped the longsword at his waist. It was the first time he was doing so.

The distant crowd gasped, "He’s going to draw his sword!" It was also the first time they had seen Gu Linfeng use a weapon.

The people from the Celestial King Mansion laughed heartily. "Drawing your sword is useless! The Tiger Demon Fist’s power is unmatched and can counter weapons bare-handed. This time, Gu Linfeng is doomed to lose!"

Staring at the oncoming Tiger Demon Fist, Gu Linfeng’s eyes grew sharp. The next moment, he drew the longsword from his waist.

CLANG!

A brilliant sword light burst forth as he slashed forward. The strike landed on the Tiger Demon Fist. The fist, which had taken the form of a fierce tiger, was sliced clean through and split into two halves. The Second Crown Prince was sent flying by the sword strike, his blood staining the sky.

"How is this possible?" The people from the Celestial King Mansion cried out, their laughter dying in their throats.

The entire arena was in an uproar.

The Second Crown Prince was defeated, too? Also defeated in a single strike? How could this be?

With his longsword returned to its sheath, Gu Linfeng departed leisurely.

The entire field was dead silent. The world was stunned by that single sword strike.

Too strong!

Too overpowered!

Even a late-stage Two-Star Grandmaster was defeated in a single slash. This Gu Linfeng truly possessed the strength of a peak Two-Star Grandmaster! It seemed no one was his match.

Their Great Xia Country... was defeated.

「Elsewhere.」

Lin Xuan was preparing to leave the Ancient Relic and return to Great Xia. At this moment, he was invincible among Two-Star Grandmasters.
