98: Chapter 98 Let's test the sharpness of my sword!

This angry punch contained all of Yu Sheng's strength, carrying his overflowing rage as it crashed towards Chen Yan!

"Haa!"

Under the terrifying cultivation of the Mahayana Stage, a fist imprint descended from the air like a mountain!

The Fist Intent locked onto Chen Yan tightly, leaving him nowhere to escape!

But Chen Yan merely looked up, glanced at the fist imprint, sneered, and remained unmoved!

Because a cyan figure had already blocked his path.

Leng Qingshuang looked at the irrational Yu Sheng, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

She neither spoke nor issued a warning!

She raised her hand, unsheathed her sword, swung it, and sheathed it!

Her movements were clean, neat, and fluid!

A faint, cyan light flashed by.

The crashing fist imprint suddenly stalled.

Then, amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, a cyan thread suddenly appeared in the center of the fist imprint.

The cyan thread sliced through space!

It extended downwards from the fist imprint in the air!

It landed on Yu Sheng's shoulder.

"Pfft!"

Yu Sheng's body was sliced into two sections, from his shoulder diagonally down to his waist!

Fresh blood gushed out, staining his body red!

"Ah!"

He screamed, hurriedly using his hands to hold his body together to keep it from separating.

His Cultivation Technique circulated rapidly, and under the power of his immense recovery ability, the two sections of his body actually reconnected!

Watching Yu Sheng's wound, granulation tissue grew frantically, fusing together.

Chen Yan marveled at the sight: "So Body Cultivators are all this monstrous?"

"This vitality, it's basically like being an immortal cockroach!"

Leng Qingshuang, however, was disdainful. She sheathed her sword and stood still, her voice cold: "Next time, I will take your head!"

These eight simple words made Yu Sheng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He looked at Leng Qingshuang, then at Chen Yan, his lips trembling, but he dared not say another word!

This Revered Master and Disciple pair were simply monsters.

Not only was their strength monstrous, but they also seemed to have no regard for moral righteousness!

They were practically flawless!

Those who had been discussing and questioning Chen Yan earlier all fell silent.

Chen Yan stood beside Leng Qingshuang, watching that old thing Yu Sheng get deflated, feeling very satisfied.

He hated these dogs who liked to bully the weak with their seniority!

If it weren't for the fact that you've cultivated for a few more years, believe me, I wouldn't even need my Revered Master to make a move—I could kill you in minutes!

Just as everyone was feeling apprehensive.

A crisp "ding~" sound rang out from the void above.

Everyone looked up.

They saw a golden light explode in the air, transforming into a massive list!

The list was inscribed with flourishing calligraphy, and it seemed as if dragon roars and phoenix cries were resonating from within it!

"The hidden dragon ranking!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

They watched as the rankings on the hidden dragon ranking changed rapidly.

Chen Yan's cultivation Realm was updated to Early Golden Core Stage!

And his ranking jumped directly from 69th to 40th.

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped.

40th place!

Was this Chen Yan truly that strong?

One must know.

Even the hidden dragon ranking had tiers!

There were 100 people in total on the hidden dragon ranking!

Places 51-100 were considered Prodigies, capable of fighting across levels!

And from 50th place onwards, they were known as Prodigies!

Not only could they fight across levels, but they could even fight across Realms!

According to unreliable rumors!

Every hidden dragon who could enter the top 50 had to have a record of slaying a Nascent Soul expert while in the Golden Core Stage!

But Chen Yan?

How many days had it been since he broke through to the Golden Core Stage?

Had he even had the chance to encounter a Nascent Soul expert?

On what basis could he enter the top 50 of the hidden dragon ranking?

And jump directly to 40th place?

"Just how strong is this kid?"

"No wonder he could kill Zhao Quan with a single sword. With strength in the top 50, how could Zhao Quan ever compare?"

"The Taiqing Sword Sect... is about to produce another Prodigy!"

"Hiss~ I heard that Sword Venerable Shuanghua was once number one on the hidden dragon ranking? Could this Chen Yan also..."

"Hehe! What are you thinking? Have you forgotten? The number one on this year's hidden dragon ranking is that person!"

"Haha! I was so shocked by this kid that I actually forgot about that person! Damn it!"

"I'm afraid all the Prodigies on the hidden dragon ranking will gather at the Lihuo Immortal Abode this time!"

"Then we'll have a good show to watch~"

Chen Yan merely glanced indifferently at the list before retracting his gaze.

The hidden dragon ranking?

Tch!

Can you eat it as a meal?

He didn't care about his ranking on the list at all.

Instead of wasting time on that, he might as well think more about how to melt his Revered Master's heart, which seemed cold but was actually fiery, tsundere, and repressed.

That would be exciting~

Leng Qingshuang's eyelids twitched, a flash of shy anger in her eyes, and she couldn't help but shake off the Rebellious Disciple's hand that was reaching towards her.

Who... who is fiery, tsundere, and... and repressed?

Rebellious Disciple!

Stop talking nonsense!

[Detecting host's Rebellious Disciple behavior, rebellious value + 3456!]

Chen Yan: "???"

Just when everyone thought everything had settled down.

"Sect Head Su! Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

A middle-aged man in a golden robe with a sinister face suddenly walked out and shouted at Su Wenjian, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Several people followed behind him, and each of their auras was not weak.

The lowest among them was at the Late Stage of the Body Integration Realm!

Su Wenjian calmly opened his eyes, looked at the man, and chuckled: "I don't know what you mean by that, Sect Head Luo?"

Luo Qianfan, Sect Head of the Iron Blood Sect, was at the Early Stage of the Mahayana Stage!

He narrowed his eyes, looking at Su Wenjian's insincere smile, and shouted coldly: "Stop playing dumb!"

"Your Disciple, Chen Yan, actually killed someone during a mere sparring match!"

"His methods are so ruthless and his conduct so improper; if left unchecked, he will surely become a disaster for Tianxuan!"

He pointed at Chen Yan and said sternly: "We demand that you immediately hand over this evildoer and give the Zhenwu Sect an explanation!"

The few Sects behind him also shouted in unison: "Hand over this evildoer and give the Zhenwu Sect an explanation!"

This scene caused another uproar among the onlookers!

Who didn't know that Luo Qianfan's Iron Blood Sect and the Zhenwu Sect were in cahoots?

As for the other Sect Heads behind him, they were all part of the same interest group!

And at this moment, these people had actually united to pressure Su Wenjian.

Yu Sheng, hiding behind the crowd, had a gloomy face and a vicious look in his eyes.

He wanted to see how Leng Qingshuang would protect that bastard under the pressure of so many Sects!

But he saw Su Wenjian standing still, his expression calm.

He glanced at Luo Qianfan, then at the people behind him, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth: "Are you saying that you want this Venerable to hand over his own Disciple?"

His voice was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Luo Qianfan snorted coldly: "Sect Head Su, your Disciple has slaughtered the innocent. As the Sect Master, do you still intend to shield him?"

"Slaughtered the innocent?"

Su Wenjian looked at him and asked, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Zhao Quan provoked him first and even publicly insulted the Revered Master of the Ninth Peak of my Taiqing Sword Sect!"

"Never mind whether Chen Yan killed him or not, I could have slaughtered him myself!"

"As for Yu Sheng? That old dog bullied the weak with his seniority—he is truly shameless! That Sword Venerable Shuanghua didn't hack him to death with a single sword is already an act of mercy!"

"He brought humiliation upon himself. His skills were inferior, and he deserved to die! Are you planning to stand up for them?"

"You!"

Luo Qianfan's expression changed, and he was just about to retort.

But he saw Su Wenjian suddenly raise his hand.

A stream of Sword Qi shot out from his fingertip, carving a deep gully in front of everyone.

"If you think that my Taiqing Sword Sect has fallen to the point where anyone can insult us,"

He looked at Luo Qianfan, killing intent erupting in his eyes, "then please cross this line!"

"And test if this Venerable's sword is sharp!"
