261: Chapter 261 The Tragic Nangong Fusu, and Lin Ran, the Founder of the Dao!

"Who gave you the gall to threaten my disciple right in front of me?"

Su Xiyue's face was filled with Evil Qi as she glared at Nangong Fusu with a devouring gaze.

"Slap!"

Before Nangong Fusu could speak, Meng Qing swung her palm, slapping Nangong Fusu's face sideways again.

"You dare threaten my husband? If not for the fact that you are the head of the Nangong Family, you would surely be dead today!"

Meng Qing's face was as cold as frost, and her tone was like shards of ice from a frozen lake.

"You..."

Nangong Fusu's eyes were scarlet, and his surging rage almost consumed his reason.

Who was he?

He was the dignified head of the Nangong Family, a bona fide Heavenly Palace Realm Expert!

Yet now, Jiang Yunxian, Su Xiyue, and Meng Qing were taking turns slapping him in front of all the young Prodigies. To him, this was an unprecedented humiliation!!

"Slap!"

Suddenly, Long Ling whipped her tail over, striking half of Nangong Fusu's face until it was lacerated and dripping with blood, the wounds deep enough to reveal bone.

"Wuwuwuwu!"

Long Ling glared fiercely at Nangong Fusu with an angry gaze.

Although she could not speak, everyone understood that Long Ling was cursing very filthily!

"Child... oh, that's not right, little dragon, you cannot curse. We must have decorum; if we can use our hands, we shouldn't use our mouths, understand?"

Lin Ran stroked Long Ling's head and lectured her with a straight face.

Long Ling tilted her head, appearing to understand half of it, and affectionately rubbed her head against Lin Ran's palm.

As for Nangong Xin and the others, although they were elders of the Nangong Family, their Cultivation was worlds apart compared to Jiang Yunxian and the others; they could not stop the onslaught of Jiang Yunxian and the others.

Moreover, they did not dare to intervene.

Jiang Yunxian did not kill Nangong Fusu because Nangong Fusu was the head of the Nangong Family, and killing him would likely cause significant trouble.

But they were merely elders of the Nangong Family; even if Jiang Yunxian killed them, what could the Nangong Family do?

Therefore, they could only support Nangong Fusu while he took the beating, and they even had to stand at attention!

If Jiang Yunxian and the others hadn't had their fill of beating him, they would likely be implicated as well.

"You... just you wait! Let's go!"

Nangong Fusu glared viciously at Jiang Yunxian and the others, then ordered Nangong Xin and the others to take him back to the clan.

After all, Long Ling's massive tail swipe had nearly turned him into a vegetable, and he still hadn't recovered from those injuries.

【Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully completed the Heavenly Mandate Mission!】

【Reward: 32,000 mission points, one heaven-defying talisman!】

The System's notification sound suddenly rang in Lin Ran's ears.

After obtaining this heaven-defying talisman, Lin Ran calmed his heart and sat cross-legged before the sword immortal stele.

Jiang Yunxian, Meng Qing, and Su Xiyue looked at each other, nodded, and silently stood guard by Lin Ran's side as his Protectors.

The young Prodigies swallowed their saliva, feeling their mouths go dry, and clicked their tongues in secret.

Provoking Lin Ran was equivalent to provoking these four supreme experts: Jiang Yunxian, Meng Qing, Su Xiyue, and Long Ling.

With four supreme experts attacking simultaneously, who in the Heavenly Palace Realm could withstand it?

Did you not see how Nangong Fusu was beaten into a pig's head by these three women and one dragon?

The power behind Lin Ran was simply too terrifying!!

It seemed that if one wanted to deal with Lin Ran, only young Prodigies could do so openly.

And if those older generation experts dared to lower themselves to attack, Jiang Yunxian and the others would certainly not stand by and watch Lin Ran be bullied!!

"Boom!"

At this moment, the nine types of Sword Intent swirling around Lin Ran suddenly surged upward, piercing the clouds, as if they had transformed into the most terrifying storm in the world.

Nangong Duanyue's Ethereal sword orb gradually turned into powder.

The Ethereal Sword Intent within it was completely absorbed by Lin Ran, becoming one of the Sword Intents swirling around him.

Su Xiyue beckoned to Long Ling, telling her to return immediately.

After all, Lin Ran was currently at a critical moment of enlightenment, and the slightest disturbance might ruin it.

Long Ling was very obedient; she released Lin Ran's waist and flew toward Su Xiyue.

"Ten types of Sword Intent. What exactly is this Rebellious Disciple trying to do?"

Su Xiyue said with a puzzled expression while settling Long Ling down.

"Hmm... perhaps... my husband wants to fuse these ten types of Sword Intent together to condense an unprecedented sword orb?!"

Meng Qing thought seriously for a moment and said in surprise.

"Hiss—"

"Fuse ten types of Sword Intent together? Isn't that too much of a fantasy?!"

Su Xiyue gasped, feeling shocked repeatedly.

One must know that a Sword Cultivator can only comprehend one type of Sword Intent and condense a sword orb with that one type.

This is an immutable rule, a rule decreed by the Great Dao of the Sword. Even those mighty figures who have touched the Peak of the sword path cannot break this rule!

And if Lin Ran could fuse these ten types of Sword Intent together to condense a sword orb, he would be the first person in history to break the rules of the sword path!!

This is the rhythm of becoming famous for eternity and being forever recorded in history books!!

How could Su Xiyue and Meng Qing not be excited?!

However, Jiang Yunxian shook her head and spoke indifferently with an almost cold and calm expression:

"No, you are both wrong; you are thinking too simply."

"In my opinion, Little Linzi is preparing to create a Dao!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Xiyue and Meng Qing were instantly stunned, like wooden statues, their bodies stiff.

Create... a Dao?!

They had thought that Lin Ran was preparing to fuse the ten types of Sword Intent together, break the rules of the sword path, and condense an unprecedented sword orb.

But they really could not have imagined that Lin Ran intended to create a Dao!

To create a sword path that belonged solely to him!!

This was no longer as simple as merely breaking the rules of the sword path; this was completely contending against the existing sword path. This was a Heaven-Defying act!!

If this could succeed, let alone being famous for eternity, I fear all Sword Cultivators in the world would take Lin Ran as their lifelong goal!!

They would worship Lin Ran just as they worship the Great Dao of the Sword!!

Of course, all of this is for later.

At least for now, Lin Ran did not yet have the qualifications to make all the Sword Cultivators in the world worship him.

Suddenly!

Just as everyone was wildly guessing, a void-transparent sword orb was slowly condensing in front of Lin Ran.

The ten types of Sword Intent around him—Ethereal Sword Intent, Bright Moon Sword Intent, Vast Sky Sword Intent, Dark Sword Intent, and so on—gathered toward that void-transparent sword orb.

However, these Sword Intents did not enter the sword orb; they seemed to have self-awareness, consciously covering the surface of the sword orb and condensing into fine sword patterns.

It was as if they had voluntarily submitted, respecting this sword orb like a god, not even daring to rush into it, as they believed that would be a desecration of this sword orb!

Wisps of mysterious Sword Intent rippled out from within the sword orb, enveloping heaven and earth.

All the young Prodigies who entered Spirit Sword Mountain practiced the sword path, had comprehended Sword Intent, and had condensed sword orbs.

But at this moment, their sword orbs, which were guarded before their heart meridians, were trembling violently!!

It was as if they had seen some supreme existence!
