382: Chapter 382 Defeating Chen Feng, a Surprising Thank You, Is Fairy Nine Lotus Angry?

“Not bad.”

Lin Ran looked up indifferently. Facing Chen Feng's ultimate move, he merely considered it 'not bad'.

When Chen Feng unleashed this ultimate move, he was certain that even experts in the Divine Bridge Realm would likely not dare to withstand it head-on.

Chen Feng truly lived up to being a young Prodigy trained by the One-armed Blade God; every move and stance carried a wild and overbearing intent that made one's heart tremble.

“However, it is only to this extent.”

A wicked smile curved on Lin Ran's lips as a Supreme and immortal phantom slowly emerged behind him.

One of the Nine Locks behind this immortal phantom had been opened, and it was surrounded by the qingxiao tribulation sword, filled with terrifying killing power!

“As the sword emerges, wind and clouds stir; its momentum is as wild as wind and rain!”

“The first sword of the Four Swords of Emperor Slaying, Wind and Rain Momentum!”

Lin Ran used his finger as a sword and slashed. The Immortal of the Sword behind him also held the qingxiao tribulation sword and delivered an unstoppable strike, as if it could break through ten thousand armies!

“This Sword Intent... it's actually making my sword and my heart tremble! It's simply too terrifying!!”

“Such an Aura that makes ten thousand swords submit, and that figure of the sole sovereign of the Great Dao of the Sword... could that be the third Origin Divine Ability of the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone—the Immortal of the Sword?!”

“What?! The Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone?! Isn't that the top-tier Immortal Body known as the Supreme of the Great Dao of the Sword?!”

“Heavens!! This... this is already Lin Ran's third Special Physique, isn't it?!”

“Two top-tier Immortal Bodies and one Great Dao Immortal Body! Just where did this Prodigy come from?!”

Chen Feng was also dazed, his mind trembling violently at this moment!

Is Lin Ran even human?!

How could one Supreme Special Physique after another appear in succession?!

Is Lin Ran a Special Physique manufacturing machine?!

This simply feels like a Fairy tale!!

If not for seeing it with their own eyes, who would dare believe it?!

The Elders were also staring blankly, their mouths wide open as they watched everything happening before them in disbelief.

Fairy Jiulian's right hand gently covered her vermilion lips, her pupils shrinking, equally filled with shock.

Since meeting Lin Ran, the surprises she had experienced came one after another; this was truly an unprecedented and magical experience in her life!

“Rumble!!!”

As Lin Ran's sword slashed out, it was not only a suppression of Chen Feng through Special Physiques, but also a suppression in terms of cultivation and Aura.

In the face of his sword, Chen Feng's blade was completely like a toy, easily broken!

“Puff!!”

Chen Feng coughed up a large amount of blood as his body flew backward. An arm was tossed high into the air, trailing a series of blood droplets.

“They say that we Sword Cultivators and Blade Cultivators are fated rivals.”

“If I were to let you, who challenged me, leave unscathed, that would be a true insult to the Great Dao of the Sword.”

“This arm is the price for challenging me. Take it and leave.”

Lin Ran's tone was indifferent. With a wave of his right hand, a surge of magic power sent Chen Feng's right arm flying, landing accurately on Chen Feng's body.

Chen Feng struggled to stand up. Grabbing his right arm, he gave Lin Ran a complex look.

“Thank you for sparing my life!”

After mysteriously offering his thanks, Chen Feng immediately turned and left with his severed arm.

Lin Ran felt somewhat confused by this.

He had severed one of Chen Feng's arms, defeated him in front of so many people, and blocked his path to joining the Zifu Holy Land.

So why did Chen Feng thank him instead?

This point truly left him a bit puzzled.

Fairy Jiulian seemed to see the doubt on his face. She smiled gently and began to explain to him using hand gestures.

Yu Xi said, “The Young Miss says she sees the doubt in your heart and knows why Chen Feng thanked you.”

“Just as mentioned before, Sword Cultivators and Blade Cultivators are fated rivals, and there is a natural Daoist intent in the unseen.”

“Once a Sword Cultivator and a Blade Cultivator meet, it must be a life-and-death struggle; otherwise, these two types of people wouldn't be called fated rivals.”

“But you, as the fated rival of a Blade Cultivator, chose not to kill Chen Feng. This was something that surprised Chen Feng, which is why he thanked you.”

Lin Ran then nodded in realization.

Fairy Jiulian smiled and rubbed Yu Xi's head, then continued to make gestures in front of Lin Ran.

“Translate.”

Lin Ran said indifferently, clearly having grown accustomed to Yu Xi's translation.

Yu Xi puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish, but she still said:

“The Young Miss asks if you have any more powerful Special Physiques that you haven't revealed yet?”

Lin Ran gave a mysterious smile: “How about... you guys guess?”

Fairy Jiulian was momentarily speechless, her beautiful phoenix eyes giving Lin Ran a charmingly annoyed look.

“The Young Miss says she isn't a child and can't be bothered to guess!”

Yu Xi said.

“If you don't want to guess, then don't. It's not me who's curious anyway.”

Lin Ran shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

Even someone as gentle and dignified as Fairy Jiulian was so irritated by Lin Ran that she stomped her foot and couldn't help but reach out to give Lin Ran's waist a gentle pinch.

“What does this mean? Translate it.”

Lin Ran asked curiously.

Yu Xi rolled her eyes at Lin Ran and said speechlessly, “Does this even need a translation? Anyone can see that the Young Miss has been made angry by you.”

Fairy Jiulian nodded huffily, her appearance looking quite adorable.

The breeze ruffled a few strands of her hair and stirred the corners of her skirt; everything in heaven and earth seemed to pale before her. She truly looked like a Fairy descending to the mortal realm, making it impossible for one to look away.

The crowd of young Prodigies looked at Lin Ran with envious expressions. As far as they knew, Lin Ran seemed to be the only man who could be so familiar with Fairy Jiulian.

And it seemed that from beginning to end, it was always Fairy Jiulian who took the initiative to seek out Lin Ran.

More importantly, Lin Ran's attitude toward Fairy Jiulian had actually been somewhat indifferent and not particularly enthusiastic from start to finish.

This was what truly stung their hearts!

The peerless goddess of their dreams, who was beyond their reach, was like an invisible person before Lin Ran, someone dispensable. The gap was simply self-evident!

Of course, toward Lin Ran, they felt only wariness, envy, and awe.

Since the Recruitment Ceremony began and Lin Ran entered the scene, he had shown his brilliance time and time again.

The appearance of one Special Physique after another made people feel an inexplicable awe, unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance!

When a person's height reaches a level that no one else can attain,

then the living beings standing beneath the altar looking up at this person will no longer feel jealousy.

Because the gap is just too large!!

The Green-robed Elder withdrew his shocked gaze and continued to preside over the remainder of the Recruitment Ceremony.

He realized that given Lin Ran's Aptitude, it seemed that even if Lin Ran broke the iron rule, he wouldn't need to be the one to stand in front and take the heat.

It was even highly likely that when Her Majesty the Empress descended, Lin Ran would be the one needed to handle Her Majesty the Empress...
