Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Thunder Sword! The Wu Family’s Trump Card!

Lin Xuan’s arrogance exceeded everyone’s expectations. The surrounding crowd was speechless.

This guy is far too arrogant, isn’t he? Can he really compete with Wu Chen? They thought about it and felt it was unlikely.

Someone commented, "If he runs away now, he might still make it."

But Lin Xuan showed no intention of escaping. He just stood there with a faint smile playing on his lips. "I advise you not to make a move," he said. "You’re no match for me. Hand over the Fire Dragon Jade now and cripple one of your arms. If you do, I might spare your life."

Wu Chen was furious, and the Thunder Power within him erupted once more. It was as if he could overturn the heavens and the earth. He was truly infuriated. After all, he was a peerless prodigy at the mid-stage of the seven-star realm. He was high and mighty, and no one had ever dared to oppose him. In his eyes, only top prodigies like Mo Feng and Huo Yuner were his equals in these Ancient Relics.

As for this Lin Xuan... what is he, to dare challenge me?

He could not tolerate it.

"Go to hell!"

With a roar, he struck out. Another massive Thunder Palm shot toward Lin Xuan. This was an Ultimate Skill of the Wu Family, far more powerful than the one Wu Ying had used earlier. In fact, it was the same palm strike that had injured Ru Meng.

"This kid can’t block it," the Wu Family members sneered.

Wu Ying’s eyes were wide as he stared intently, wanting to witness Lin Xuan’s defeat with his own eyes.

Faced with this peerless strike, Lin Xuan remained indifferent. He unleashed the Serpent Fist again, blasting a punch forward.

A Serpent imbued with destructive power collided with the huge Thunder Palm.

BOOM!

A thunderous sound rang out as a terrifying aura swept in all directions.

The onlookers retreated one after another. The aftershocks of that collision alone were more than they could withstand. After falling back to a safe distance, they hastily looked back.

Did he block it? Can this Lin Xuan actually withstand that?

Seeing the scene before them, they were utterly stunned.

"Good heavens! What did I just see!"

"I must be dreaming!"

"Damn, that’s just too unbelievable!"

They discovered that Lin Xuan had actually blocked the Thunder Palm. This was completely different from what they had expected. In that moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

The members of the Wu Family were also stunned. They shook their heads wildly. "Impossible! This is impossible! How could he block Wu Chen’s attack?"

"Wu Chen is a mid-stage seven-star Grandmaster! How could this kid possibly contend with him?"

"This has to be fake!"

They refused to believe it.

Wu Ying spoke up, "Don’t worry, everyone. That was just a casual strike from Wu Chen. The kid had to risk his life just to block it. Once Wu Chen gets serious, this kid won’t stand a chance. Just watch. He’s sure to lose next."

Hearing this, the Wu Family members breathed a collective sigh of relief.

So that’s how it is. He only blocked it out of desperation. Hmph, we knew it. How could this kid possibly stand against Wu Chen?

Even Wu Chen was momentarily taken aback. He had originally thought that one strike would be enough to deal with his opponent.

He actually managed to block it.

However, he didn’t really care.

I only struck casually, while he had to give it his all. The difference in our strength is obvious. Next, I’ll just need to use a bit more force, and he won’t be able to take it.

"Kid, let’s see you block this!"

The Thunder Power within him erupted again.

"Thunder Palm!"

Another palm descended, carrying destructive force far more formidable than before.

"World-Ending Serpent Fist!"

Lin Xuan’s punch shook the heavens! He swung his fist again, lunging forward. This time, the power of his Serpent Fist surged once more as he executed the Ultimate Skill within the fist technique. This punch seemed capable of shattering the very heavens and earth.

The massive heavenly palm was shattered once again.

With a thunderous CRACK, Wu Chen was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Blood stained the sky!

Wu Ying was dumbfounded.

The Wu Family members were stunned.

The distant spectators were utterly shocked!

"Heavens? What’s going on?"

"Wu Chen... he actually lost!"

"Defeated again by a single punch!"

It was unbelievable. Everyone was going mad. The members of the Wu Family were shaking their heads frantically. "No, this is absolutely impossible! Damn it, how could this happen? How can this kid be so strong?"

They couldn’t accept it.

Even Wu Ying was stunned. This outcome had also exceeded his expectations. Only now did he realize he had underestimated Lin Xuan.

His strength is no less than a mid-stage seven-star cultivator. No wonder he could defeat me with a single punch. No wonder I was no match for him. But so what?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, don’t panic! Wu Chen hasn’t lost yet! He still has a trump card! As long as he uses his trump card, this kid is bound to lose. Don’t forget, our family is a first-class family!"

Hearing this, the Wu Family members grew excited. "That’s right, Wu Chen still has a powerful trump card!"

"The one who laughs last is the winner!"

"The final victor will be Wu Chen! It will be our Wu Family!"

「On the other side.」

Wu Chen’s face was ashen with fury. He had been so high and mighty, never taking Lin Xuan seriously. He thought he could suppress his opponent with a mere wave of his hand, but instead, he had been ruthlessly slapped in the face. Now, even after getting serious, he was still sent flying by a single punch. The humiliation made him want to cough up blood.

This kid’s strength is not at all weaker than mine... This is incredible. Can someone really fight across so many cultivation realms? His mind was reeling.

Lin Xuan withdrew his fist and sneered, "Is that all you’ve got? You’re too weak. You are simply not my match. Either cripple one of your own arms and hand over the Fire Dragon Jade, or your entire Wu Family can come at me at once."

Ru Meng, standing beside him, was ecstatic. She knew just how strong Lin Xuan was; Wu Chen was definitely no match for him. She said, "Wu Chen, I advise you to surrender now. If you keep fighting, your end will be miserable. You wouldn’t want to kneel before Young Master Lin, would you?"

"Damn it!" Hearing such taunts, Wu Chen was enraged. "How dare you underestimate me! I haven’t lost yet! Kid, I admit you’re strong. I underestimated you, but don’t get too arrogant. My trump card is beyond your imagination. Do you really think you can defeat me? I originally planned to use this against Mo Feng from the True Dragon Sect. After all, that fellow is rather tricky. But now, I’m going to use it on you ahead of schedule. Kid, open your eyes wide and see! This is my true power!"

Wu Chen roared, and with a wave of his hand, a streak of lightning shot into the sky, hovering above his head. The lightning pulsed with a brilliant light that seemed capable of tearing the void apart. The bodies of the onlookers trembled.

"Good heavens, what a terrifying aura!"

"What is that? Such terrifying lightning!"

"A Treasure Sword! It’s actually a Thunderbolt Treasure Sword!"

"The aura of this Treasure Sword is terrifying... could that be a fourth-grade Treasure Sword?"

"Heavens! That’s a Grandmaster-level weapon! Wu Chen actually has a weapon of that caliber!"

At this moment, everyone went wild.

Seeing this, Wu Ying was thrilled and a triumphant smile spread across his face. The other Wu Family members also cheered. In their eyes, with the Thunder Sword drawn, their victory was certain.

Wu Chen reached out and grasped the Thunder Sword. With the sword in his hand, it was as if he owned the world. At this moment, Wu Chen’s aura of dominance was at its absolute peak.

He said coldly, "See this, kid? This is my true trump card. With this sword, I can also fight above my level. What do you have to fight me with?"

It’s over.

Ru Meng’s face turned deathly pale. She was in despair.

That’s a fourth-grade weapon, a weapon used by Grandmasters! After equipping a fourth-grade weapon, Wu Chen is now equivalent to a late seven-star Grandmaster. His strength has undergone an earth-shattering change. Lin Xuan probably can’t block it.

She quickly said to Lin Xuan, "Young Master, we have to escape!"

"Why escape?" Lin Xuan laughed. "It’s just a mere fourth-grade longsword. It poses no threat to me."

Hearing this, Ru Meng was stunned. She asked excitedly, "Young Master, does that mean you also have a fourth-grade Treasure Sword?"

If Lin Xuan also had a fourth-grade weapon, there would be no need to fear his opponent at all.

However, Lin Xuan just shook his head and said, "I don’t have a fourth-grade weapon."

"What?" Ru Meng was taken aback.

He doesn’t have a fourth-grade weapon, and he’s still not running?
