Chapter 34: Heaven Ranked Martial Technique—Return of the Azure Dragon
Looking at Xiao Chen struggling to stand up, he seemed very weak. Tang He acted as though he had planned everything out, “If you didn’t kill the three people from my Tang Clan, on the account of the Xiao Clan, I could have let you off after you handed over the Red Nascent Fruit.”
Xiao Chen’s pale face revealed a cold smile, “Stop being so hypocritical. If you hadn’t attempted to kill me first, would I have made a move against your group?”
Grasping Lunar Shadow tightly in his hands, Xiao Chen coughed lightly as he continued, “Do you actually think that I have no way of resisting you?”
Tang He stared blankly for a while before laughing loudly, “Although I had exhausted a large portion of my Essence, there should still be more than enough to deal with a severely injured Inferior Grade Martial Disciple. All I would need is just one finger.”
Despicable, this was a Martial Grand Master going against an Inferior Grade Martial Disciple. In terms of strength, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. Xiao Chen held an undisguised look of contempt.
Return of the Azure Dragon was the first move of the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, Dragon Subduing Slash. This was the exclusive Martial Technique of the Azure Dragon Martial Technique. When using it, one would be able to leap over the seas like a dragon in a majestic and powerful manner.
According to the legends, the Hidden Dragon Of The Abyss was the king of the four seas and Dragon Soaring Through the Universe was the tyrant of the sky. As long as there was water, it would be able to display boundless might. Return Of The Azure Dragon referred to the dragon leaping out of the sea, bearing the might of the sea, and causing even the rivers to flow backwards.
[TL Notes: Honestly, I’m not too sure of this paragraph and might change the translation of this in the future]
Xiao Chen thought silently in his heart, the Return of The Azure Dragon was just the introductory move with regards to the Dragon Subduing Slash. Looking at Tang He, who had an incredibly complex expression, he smiled, “One finger… Don’t cry from shock later…”
Tang He watched as Xiao Chen made his final struggles, as though he was a cat playing around with a mouse. At such a close distance, he was not afraid of Xiao Chen using his strange escaping techniques to flee. Not bothered by Xiao Chen’s tone, he smiled, “I said that I would only use one finger, thus, I will only use one finger.”
“Chi!”
A flame wisp gathered above Tang He’s finger. Moving his Essence and shouting out, the flames flew away from his finger, creating a long trail of Qi as it streaked across the air heading for Xiao Chen’s brain.
Although this flame had not looked impressive, in truth, there was a huge amount of fire-attributed energy in it. Due to the fact that many of Tang He’s opponents underestimated it and became careless, they had died to this flame.
He did not believe that at such a distance, an injured Inferior Grade Martial Disciple would be able to withstand the destructiveness of this flame.
Naturally, Xiao Chen would not be able to withstand the destructiveness of this flame but in the first place, he had never intended to face it head on. He tightly grasped Lunar Shadow in his hands and changed his posture.
Raising his arm, he pointed the sharp end of his saber at Tang He!
Xiao Chen had just casually changed positions and did not seem to have made any move. There was still no difference with the earlier Xiao Chen who looked heavily injured and weak.
However, Tang He’s right eyelid started twitching spontaneously. His mind seemed to become empty and he felt an unrelenting sense of danger.
How could it be? This fellow is currently severely injured, how would he be able to injure me? Tang He shook his head vigorously and suppressed the fear in his heart.
The wisp of flames was already less than one meter away from Xiao Chen. In one second, it would penetrate through Xiao Chen’s brain. All it would take was a second and this fellow would be dead.
Thinking of this, the fear in Tang He’s heart completely disappeared. He revealed a faint smile on his face. It was time for this to end.
However, at that point, Xiao Chen suddenly shouted. A boundless aura that could almost topple the mountains and seas seemed to emanate from his body. The tranquil forest reacted as though there were great waves bellowing while the continuous sound of sea waves was heard.
A formless force seemed to explode out from Xiao Chen’s body and all the big trees within a hundred meters behind Xiao Chen were uprooted by a strong gale, completely turning into fragments.
The whole sky was filled with broken fragments, layers of them were piled up behind Xiao Chen. They looked like a great sea wave, rippling unceasingly, swaying gently.
Xiao Chen felt like his body was filled with an apocalyptic power that was about to burst out of him. At that moment, he felt that even if G.o.ds and Buddhas appeared in front of him, he had the confidence to destroy them.
“Break!”
With a furious shout, Xiao Chen swung lightly from his casual posture, but that small movement was filled with a huge amount of energy.
This gentle strike was almost able to break through s.p.a.ce and time, and the entire s.p.a.ce around them fluctuated for a while. The huge sea wave made out of tree fragments gave off an explosive sound and a dragon roar came from Xiao Chen’s Dantian.
The huge energy traveled through Xiao Chen’s arm and Lunar Shadow, then turned into a dragon shaped saber Qi and flew out. The moment the saber Qi left the blade, Lunar Shadow could no longer withstand the violent energy and shattered apart.
While it took quite a while to describe this, all of these happened within a breath’s worth of time. The wisp of flame that Tang He had fired was like a little worm in front of Xiao Chen’s dragon shaped saber Qi and dispersed upon contact.
The huge dragon shaped saber Qi had boundless might as it headed towards Tang He. Someday, I will make the rivers flow in reverse.
