Chapter 1101: Defeated in One Move (1/2)

Since these ladies were elite disciples, the murderous sword dance was much stronger than what Long Fei faced on the jade bridge and harder to deal with.

Due to the direction of the murderous music, this set of the Lunar Palace’s ancient Bright Moon Sword Dance underwent a change worth more than ten thousand years of revision. It truly lived up to its fame.

With the ten grandmaster-level Martial Sages cooperating with Fang Qingxuan’s flute music, it did not just merge these people’s strength. Instead, there was a multiplier effect.

Even a Holy Scion would get entangled in a bitter battle if they got trapped in the sword dance.

Most of the outstanding talents did not go in early mainly because they were not very confident of breaking through this sword dance in a short time. Even if they won, they would expend a lot of effort.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen made the first move; hence, these outstanding talents scolded him in their hearts for his arrogance.

Several people smiled coldly, wanting to see how the arrogant Xiao Chen would fall in this murderous sword dance, losing his chance to obtain the Dragon’s Gate’s mountain tablet in his attempt to snatch the initiative and limelight.

However, would Xiao Chen reveal his trump card in fear of wasting too much time after getting trapped by this murderous sword dance?

Clearly, he would not. Since he could not find an opening, he would forcibly make one.

Just as the murderous sword dance surrounded Xiao Chen, he smiled faintly before opening his mouth to roar.

The Magic Energy in Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness burned as he executed the Dragon Tone Art at full power. The resulting dragon roar instantly shook the sky, even more horrifying than the thunder of heaven.

A beam of light pierced the clouds, scattering them. Then, it landed on Xiao Chen, causing the white-clad Azure Dragon King to radiate a golden light that dazzled onlookers everywhere.

In short order, the clouds for five thousand kilometers fled like leaves swept away by the autumn wind. The light coming from Xiao Chen’s body spread to the entire area.

In that instant, it was like the entire region became several times brighter because of Xiao Chen—piercingly brighter.

Only he, the Azure Dragon King, could tear the skies with one roar echoing everywhere and scattering the clouds for five thousand kilometers!

The Bright Moon Sword Dance did indeed not have any weakness. However, if one grasped the opportunity properly, one could create an opening in a simple manner.

Naturally, the opening came from Fang Qingxuan’s murderous flute music.

The Dragon Tone Art had mainly been used to counter the Deity Race’s Mental Energy Martial Techniques. However, Martial Techniques were dead while people were alive.

As long as it could be used to disrupt the opponent’s rhythm, any Martial Technique was appropriate. This was the principle of creatively combining learning with usage.

The moment the clouds scattered and the sunlight hit the ground, Xiao Chen made his move. He charged over in a straight line and knocked back the white-clad disciples in his way, sending them flying like sandbags.

The rhythm of the Bright Moon Sword Dance was already broken. Before Xiao Chen, these Lunar Palace disciples were just ordinary grandmaster-level Martial Sages now. Naturally, they could not last a single round against him.

He continued onwards, charging at Fang Qingxuan in an instant. As the person playing the flute, Fang Qingxuan suffered the most from his Dragon Tone Art.

At this moment, she was pale, and blood trickled out from a corner of her lips. She had just grasped her sword when Xiao Chen struck her wrist, disarming her.

Xiao Chen did not stop moving, pressing on. He threw another heavy palm strike. Just as the palm strike was about to land, he reined it in somewhat on second thought.

When Xiao Chen’s hand landed on Fang Qingxuan’s right shoulder, some force came from it but only enough to knock her back, not injuring her at all.

A dragon roar echoed endlessly in the place. Xiao Chen had easily broken the famous Bright Moon Sword Dance.

The situation of Xiao Chen getting stuck in a protracted fight, which many people expected, did not happen. On the contrary, he quickly dealt with the Bright Moon Sword Dance, cutting through it at lightning speed.

As a strong wind blew, Xiao Chen did not let things drag out at all, quickly finishing the battle cleanly.

His white robes fluttered as he stood on the most eye-catching arena. If not for the clouds for five thousand kilometers that were slowly regathering in the sky, most people would suspect that they just saw an illusion.

“Thank you for going easy!”

Xiao Chen turned around and performed a cupped-fist salute to the white-clad female disciples in the arena.

The Moon Palace disciples elegantly bowed in response and flew away, looking like fairies dancing in the air. They always appeared very pleasing to the eye.

The various Holy Scions in the jade pavilions were all shocked. They had not expected that Xiao Chen could break the Bright Moon Sword Dance so easily.

All of the Holy Scions remained silent as if they could not accept this reality.

In the jade pavilion where the Cyclic Astral Palace’s group was, Chu Yang had a sullen expression as he stood up, prepared to charge down. Fu Hongyao and a group of elders quickly stopped him.

“Holy Son, don’t rush. This is just the beginning. He will not be able to stand strong for long,” a Cyclic Astral Palace elder with a goatee advised.

Fu Hongyao said softly, “Senior Brother, there is indeed no need to rush. There are many experts in the hundred small arenas below. Several of the outstanding talents from the previous Four Seas Hero Gathering are there too. These people are forty-odd years old, and their cultivations are not low at all.

“They will definitely be able to force Xiao Chen to draw his saber. At that time, we will be able to see all his trump cards.”

Chu Yang’s expression changed as he slowly sat down. “I’ll let him remain cocky first. When he climbs too high, I will ruthlessly trample him.”

In the jade pavilion where the Five Poison Sect was, the Five Poison Sect’s Holy Son showed an uncertain expression. Soon, he decided to continue watching a bit more.

In the Myriad Fiend Island’s group, Yan Shisan said with some shock, “I forgot that he knows the Dragon Tone Art. We should wait longer, until he draws his saber. Only then can we see his true strength.”

“Bang!”
