Chapter 949 Cannot Even Defeat His Dog
How powerful exactly was Zhao Juexian?
As the Lord of Beihan Region, he had attained a level six Golden Core thousands of years in the past and reached the peak of the Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline. His power had been close to Yang Gangfeng even before he became Chen Fan’s follower.
Over the recent years, Chen Fan had never purposefully taught him anything. However, just by standing beside Chen Fan while he recited Heavenly Arts was enough to elevate Zhao Juexian’s level of attainment by leap and bounds. By then, he was only one step away from becoming a Nascent Soul practitioner.
That made him more powerful than even the elites on the Longevity Roll.
In addition, Zhao Juexian had much greater potential than the power he possessed at the moment.
The great improvement was not exclusive to Zhao Juexian, Lin Wuhua and the two other girls had also benefitted. They had learned a great deal by following Chen Fan. The simple act of witnessing Chen Fan’s powerful arts had opened their eyes and enlightened their minds.
Yang Gangfeng’s power was a far cry from that of Zhao Juexian.
“Argh!”
Yang Gangfeng snarled.
Although he was pinned under the boots, his Golden Core body didn’t shatter and he struggled to break free. Countless rays of True Qi straight from the underworld were released from his body, forming a long dragon made out of Blade Qi and hewed at Zhao Juexian. Incantation of eldritch chapters filled up the space as dark symboles appeared around Yang Gangfeng, surrounding his body to form a protective shell.
“Shut up!”
Zhao Juexian charged up his energy and pressed his feet down.
“Boom!”
A herculean force bore down on the protective shell, shattering it. Yang Gangfeng’s body was unable to withstand the pressure and exploded. Countless drops of golden blood and fleshy bits oozed out from under Zhao Juexian’s foot. When Zhao Juexian lifted his foot, the Heiyou Region’s Heavenly Talent had been reduced to a pulp.
“Whoosh!”
Everyone gasped and remained speechless by the turn of events.
They all stared at Zhao Juexian in utter shock and fear.
He killed Yang Gangfeng?
How could a wizened servant kill a Heavenly Talent with such ease?
He was the second heir of the Ghost Underworld Sect, but he was turned into a pile of bloody mess on the floor.
Even Hua Nonyin and Lin Xiao were shaken to the core. Meanwhile, Gongsun Kui’s calm composure darkened.
The Zhu Family sisters were turned into frozen statues.
“Who else wishes to test my strength?” Zhao Juexian asked.
His Dharma Form grew in size until his head scraped the firmament, looking down at the cultivators. A snowy python wrapped itself around his torso, its red eyes fixed on the crowd below.
Neither Wu Shan nor the Xuankong Sword Prince spoke a word.
None of them were stupid, they knew from the outset that appearances could be deceiving, especially when it came to the shriveled form of the old man. He could very well be an Ancestral Patriarch of a Heavenly Lord Family or a top five elder in a Heavenly Sect.
He would be a headache even for the top ten Longevity Roll Heavenly Talents.
Such curmudgeons were well known for concealing their most deadly arts. Yang Gangfeng had paid the ultimate price for underestimating him, and no one was about to make the same mistake.
“Ahem.”
Zhao Juexian returned to his shriveled form and stood behind Chen Fan.
However, no one dared to question his strength.
“Who is he? How come his servant is so powerful? I doubt that even Goddess Shenxi could have such a deadly servant.” many people asked the same questions in their minds as they looked at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan sipped a cup of tea while completely at ease. However, in everyone’s eyes, his demeanor had been shrouded in mystery.
“So what do you think? Is my servant qualified to sit with you?” Chen Fan said calmly.
“Yes, of course.” The Xuankong Sword Prince and Mu Yanping nodded.
However, Wu Shan was still unconvinced. He was the number five Warrior in the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Sect, and centuries of battles against powerful demons had taken a toll on his temper. He snorted and said, “I agree that your old servant is powerful, but what about the three servant girls? They can’t sit with us only because they are Xiao Mang’s friends.”
“Oh? Do you wish to test them?” Chen Fan looked up and asked in surprise.
Wu Shan stepped forward and shouted, “That’s right.”
He wagered that he had failed in noticing Zhao Juexian’s power because old freaks such as him were good at concealing their strength. However, those three girls were young and inexperienced. Lin Wuhua seemed to be the strongest of the three, but even she had only reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core. Wu Shan figured that he could make quick work of them due to his higher level of attainment.
“Hm.”
Lin Wuhua’s eyes grew cold and stepped forward with a long blade in her arm.
Even as Wu Shan was going to perfunctorily offer the girl a head start, a flash of bright Blade Qi surged, illuminating the Brahma Palace.
“Swish!”
The flash of icy energy chilled the air in the entire Brahma Palace, turning the hall into an ice cave.
In the sky, heavy snow started to fall.
However, even the ice and the snow seemed warm before the frozen silvery energy.
Zhu Ninxue swore that she had never seen a more beautiful sword art execution. Even Hua Nonyin and Lin Xiao wore taut faces after seeing the move. Meanwhile, the Xuankong Sword Prince gasped in his mind.
Lin Wuhua’s attack had exceeded everyone’s expectation.
Blade Qi had created the frozen landscape using only one thousandth of its energy, the rest was packed tightly inside the glow.
“Argh!” Wu Shan shouted painfully.
At the moment of life and death, he only had enough time to move his body to a side three inches. However, it was enough to escape from certain death.
“Bang!”
Lin Wuhua’s Blade Aura landed on him, carrying furious lightning energy as vast as the sea.
Everyone watched as Wu Shan’s black armor cracked open. It was superior-grade Spirit Treasure, but it was unable to hold out against the girl’s attack. Everyone looked to Wu Shan with sympathy.
The attack had created a one meter long gash on his body, extending from left shoulder to the right side of his abdomen. A few inches longer, and it would have severed his body in two.
This was the heaviest injury Wu Shan had ever sustained.
He breathed heavily, shouting and trying to heal his wound using his Golden Core energy. However, the gash was suffused by a silvery energy that gnawed at the wounds, preventing it from healing. The energy even penetrated further into Wu Shan’s body. To everyone’s horror, they noticed that Wu Shan’s vitality was waning and so too was his level of attainment. After being dealt one blow, his cultivation was degraded to the mid-stage Golden Core.
What kind of Dharmic Blade could lower a person’s level of attainment?
Everyone looked at Lin Wuhua with fear.
They watched as the girl sheathed her blade and stood beside Chen Fan like an ice sculpture of a gorgeous goddess. Lin Wuhua’s level of attainment remained at the mid-stage Golden Core, so the potency of her attack solely came from the intricacy and effectiveness of her sword art.
“That is terrifying. not even the Tianxuan Sword Art nor the Haotian Sword Sect could match such efficiency.”
Gongsun Kui was shocked, so was everyone else.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan shook his head with a grin, amused by Wu Shan’s mistake. Zhao Juexian was not the deadliest warrior among Chen Fan’s companions; it was Lin Wuhua. Since Zhao Juexian used to be the Chinese people’s enemy, he didn’t pay nearly as much attention to his cultivation than Lin Wuhua did.
Lin Wuhua was a very eager and diligent student.
Although Lin Wuhua was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, her sword art had far exceeded her current level and could outshine some Nascent Soul Cultivators.
“Supreme Sword Art from a Supreme Sword Immortal!”
The Xuankong Sword Prince gazed at Lin Wuhua, eyes filled with disbelief.
He knew that Lin Wuhua’s attack required Nomological Insight about the universe which only a Nascent Soul Cultivator could possess. Having gained such insight while being a Golden Core Cultivator would make her the most powerful sword master under the Heavenly Lord realm.
What Lin Wuhua learned was only the tip of the iceberg. However, it was enough to bring down those Heavenly Talents.
“Anyone else?” Chen Fan said.
Most people faltered. Lin Wuhua and Zhao Juexian had proven their prowess. Only a top ranking Longevity Roll Elite could bring them to heel.
However, a few people rose to the challenge and wished to test Mu Hongti’s strength.
However, Mu Hongti had silenced them unequivocally with golden fists. She defeated four peak Golden Core Cultivators in a row, all with only one puch.
By the end, Yang Gangfeng’s sect borhter, the Perfected Cultivator from the Ghost Underworld Sect shouted out his challenge at Yun Yier’s pet dog in a fit of anger.
That was not a dog, it was the Qilin that Chen Fan had created while brewing the Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence. It reached the peak of the Golden Core as soon as it was born and had since been fed nothing but Heavenly medicine. By then, it was more powerful than a Heavenly Lord,
The battle lasted only a fraction of a second and ended with the Perfected Cultivator being swallowed by the Qilin.
In the end.
Everyone came to the conclusion that most of them couldn’t even defeat Chen Fan’s pet.
The development shocked everyone and Xiao Mang was also taken by surprise.
