141: A dragon? Just slay it!

Although they were hypocritically voicing words of concern,

in their hearts, they were all gloating.

Weren't they waiting here just to see this scene!

As long as Chen Xian died,

then Pei Ning and her group would naturally join them.

Meanwhile, Pei Ning's fists were tightly clenched.

The fog surrounding her father's death had been cleared by this man; she had to learn more from him.

Therefore, this man could not die!

The Embroidered Uniform Guards shared the same thought, though they didn't have the same personal motives as Pei Ning.

They only knew that if Chen Xian died, they certainly wouldn't survive!

Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi's hearts skipped a beat.

Fire Feather Flood Dragon!

As scions of aristocratic families, they naturally knew this was a top-tier Vicious Beast.

Even a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would avoid a direct confrontation upon encountering one!

Right now, Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer were at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer and First Layer of Qi Refining, respectively.

The two of them facing a Fire Feather Flood Dragon was simply seeking death.

"Embroidered Uniform Guards, follow me to rescue Chen Xian!"

Whether out of imperial orders or her own selfish motives,

she would not let Chen Xian die.

For now, the only option was to go and help.

Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi looked at each other.

"We're coming with you!"

These Prodigies were all shocked to see this.

Seriously guys, aren't you Embroidered Uniform Guards supposed to be loyal to the Emperor?

Why are you as loyal to Chen Xian as Death Warriors?

And Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi—rumor has it that Chen Xian is Liu Ruyan's simp.

How did he manage to win the hearts of these two women now?

What's going on?

Meanwhile, the Fire Feather Flood Dragon had already spotted Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer from mid-air.

Towards the two humans intruding into its territory,

the Fire Feather Flood Dragon let out a series of angry roars,

and it dove toward the two from the sky.

"It's too late!"

"Chen Xian, run!"

Pei Ning shouted from another mountain.

"It seems we can't make it in time. The only way is to lure these Fire Feather Flood Dragons toward us!"

"No way! We're just here to watch."

"Pei Ning, we won't say anything about your Embroidered Uniform Guards protecting Chen Xian, but you can't expect us innocent people to suffer the wrath of the Fire Feather Flood Dragons with you!"

"Exactly. Besides, is it really worth it for a second generation ancestor like him?"

These Prodigies were extremely panicked.

Each of them stared intently at Pei Ning; if this woman dared to do anything to attract the Fire Feather Flood Dragons,

they would attack even if it meant risking their lives.

Facing a Hunter, they might have a slim chance of survival.

After all, the other party was human and could be reasoned with.

But if they faced the short-tempered and bloodthirsty Fire Feather Flood Dragons,

then their fate would be certain death!

They would never allow Pei Ning to do that.

Just as the confrontation reached a stalemate,

Gu Qingcheng pointed at Flame Mountain and said with a trembling voice, "It's over! That Fire Feather Flood Dragon is diving down."

A Fire Feather Flood Dragon was already less than ten meters away from Chen Xian.

The flames on its body were even making the ground sizzle from the heat.

From their vantage point on the other mountain, they watched the scene unfold.

Their eyes were filled with all sorts of complex emotions.

The Prodigies were gloating, feeling extremely happy.

Pei Ning, Gu Qingcheng, and the others were all breaking into a cold sweat.

What should they do?

At this moment, Chen Xian looked at the diving Fire Feather Flood Dragon.

He wasn't panicked at all.

Instead, a look of terror appeared on Zhou Duoer's face.

After all, the Fire Feather Flood Dragon in the air was dozens of meters long.

With its hideous expression, Zhou Duoer, a flower from a greenhouse, seeing this!

It was inevitable that she would be afraid!

"Young Lord, it's a Dragon! What do we do?"

Chen Xian smiled slightly.

"A Dragon? Just slay it!"

He slowly drew the long sword at his waist.

Shua!

A flash of sword light flickered past.

The flood dragon in front of him was instantly sliced from head to tail by a burst of Sword Qi!

Puchi!

In an instant,

the dragon was split in two.

The massive corpse crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"The Young Lord is so amazing!"

Seeing Zhou Duoer jumping for joy, Chen Xian also smiled slightly.

During his month in the Sword Tomb, he hadn't just comprehended the Profound Truths within the elephant bone sword.

Instead, he had thoroughly studied the Fearless Sword Scripture left behind by the Fearless Sword Saint from beginning to end.

The so-called Fearless Sword Technique,

its most fundamental principle was: take life and death lightly; if you're not satisfied, just fight.

The more fearless one was,

the stronger the Sword Qi would become!

This strike fully demonstrated the results of his cultivation in the Sword Tomb!

However, at this moment, atop the other mountain peak, the many Prodigies were stunned by the sight.

They were all dumbfounded.

They even subconsciously held their breath.

After a brief silence,

finally, someone stammered, "He... he actually killed that Fire Feather Flood Dragon with a single strike?"

"That's impossible! It must have been a fluke!"

"Exactly! Someone at the Qi Refinement Stage couldn't possibly slay a Fire Feather Flood Dragon in one blow!"

But then, a Prodigy said with a solemn expression, "Though I'm loath to admit it, judging by its massive size, that Fire Feather Flood Dragon was at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Impossible! Within the same rank, Yao Beasts are far superior to the Human Race. Moreover, that was a Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast, whereas Chen Xian is only at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!"

"How could he possibly kill a Fire Feather Flood Dragon with one sword strike?"

"Whether it's possible or not, the truth is right before our eyes!"

"This is impossible! There must have been something wrong with the Fire Feather Flood Dragon!"

"I'll go take a look!"

He took a step into the sky and flew off.

But after only a few seconds,

this Prodigy retreated!

He was panting heavily; his clothes and his Status Panel both bore marks of being scorched by flames.

"What happened?"

"Senior Brother Zhou, were you blocked by the flames?"

Zhou Jin panted, looking at Flame Mountain with considerable dread. "The flames on Flame Mountain are incredibly hot!"

"Just getting close feels like my internal organs are being scorched by crimson flames! I couldn't breathe at all, and even taking a single step forward was extremely difficult!"

Seeing this, the many Prodigies looked at each other in bewilderment!

Zhou Jin's strength was in the upper-middle range among the Prodigies, yet even he was stopped by the flames.

This goes to show

that Chen Xian's entry into Flame Mountain was the real deal!

For a moment, many people stared intently at Chen Xian's figure with burning eyes.

"I wonder what kind of methods Chen Xian has that allow him to ignore the scorching of such flames!"

"Tsk tsk, maybe it's some kind of treasure!"

Compared to the covetousness in their hearts, Pei Ning and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Chen Xian should be able to protect himself.

Naturally, these people also gained a brand-new understanding of Chen Xian's strength.

This man is definitely not at the Qi Refinement Stage!

At the same time,

dozens of dragon roars echoed from the sky almost simultaneously.

Zhou Duoer only felt the sky go dark.

Looking up, her expression changed drastically!

She stammered, "Y-Young Lord, this is bad!"
