Chapter 1931 (Raw 2031 Repeated): Dragon’s Pride
“Supreme Dragon Fist! Supreme Dragon Fist!” Zhang Ye held his chest, and blood leaked between his lips. He no longer cared what was happening, only staring at Xiao Chen.
Zhang Ye had no doubt at all. He was very certain that Xiao Chen used the Supreme Dragon Fist.
The Supreme Dragon Fist was known as a forbidden skill of the Heavenly Dragon Palace. Why was Zhang Ye so certain? It was because he had tried to practice it in the past. However, despite two years of bitter study, he still could not execute the Martial Technique and was forced to give up.
Zhang Ye had studied this Fist Technique for two years and was very clear on how horrifying this Fist Technique, which the Dragon’s Gate upper echelon ordered destroyed, was.
Once someone succeeded in practicing it, it would be described with only this word: unparalleled.
This was an unparalleled Fist Technique. It would be bright and dazzling, unforgettable. It had experienced the stability and baptism of time. Once it was dusted off, it could give off an even more piercing light.
“It’s him. He was the one practicing on top of the Heavenly Dragon that day!”
“It’s definitely him! It can’t be wrong!”
Many inner palace disciples exclaimed after they recovered from their shock.
The reason was none other than the similarity. The mysterious phenomena were simply too similar.
The mysterious phenomena from the top of the Heavenly Dragon back then reappeared on the dueling plaza just now. That unparalleled lofty aspiration and tyranny that declared him supreme were nearly the same.
There would not be such a coincidence in the world. No one would forget what happened merely twenty days ago.
Furthermore, they would never forget the mysterious phenomena from that day. That figure, which was both clear and indistinct at the same time—a contradictory thing—had already been imprinted on their hearts long ago.
The white-clad youth still stubbornly standing on the dueling plaza at this moment perfectly matched the figure in their memories of that day. A perfect match, a perfect tally.
“White Robes Xiao Chen!”
“White Robes Xiao Chen!”
“White Robes Xiao Chen!”
After a while, the crowd all cried out as one. All the inner and outer palace disciples cheered Xiao Chen’s nickname frantically.
The thunderous sound echoed in the surroundings, a rare scene in the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
Above the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s main peak, the Second Palace Master and the Third Palace Master were both stunned. Actually, they had seen a similar scene many years ago.
They had a sense of déjà vu. This scene was shockingly similar to the past.
“Never mind.”
The Third Palace Master closed his eyes and sighed. He already knew Xiao Chen’s choice.
At the same time, the snowy environment in the dueling plaza suddenly changed, turning into heavy rain with lightning and thunder in the sky.
Yi Qianyun stretched out his hand and wiped the rain off his face. Then, he stood up and cursed, “d.a.m.n it!”
All those who still could fight got up one by one. They all looked at Xiao Chen sullenly with complicated expressions.
Clearly, they had seen the scene from twenty days ago as well. However, they did not expect that it was Xiao Chen.
The figure on top of the Heavenly Dragon had left too deep an impression.
Do I have to give up?
Everyone asked themselves this question. They just let the rain soak themselves, not caring at all.
Do I have to give up?
This question lingered in everyone’s mind. The Dragon Race always respected the strong. Even the mixed-blood dragons had their pride deep in their hearts.
No matter how they denied it, no matter how they were mocked, there would always be that bottom line and perseverance in their hearts.
Suddenly, a core disciple behind Yi Qianyun gave Xiao Chen a deep look and said, “I give up.”
Then, this person gently pushed off and spread his arms wide. He walked away through the heavy rain, slowly leaving the dueling plaza.
It’s not fair!
Xiao Chen’s strength already convinced them. Furthermore, after realizing that it had been him standing at the top of the Heavenly Dragon that day—the existence that made their hearts waver—they simply found it too unfair to continue surrounding Xiao Chen. They simply could not accept it in their hearts.
Since ancient times, from top to bottom, the Dragon Race wors.h.i.+pped the strong. The strong had nothing to fear. The strong did not have to care.
“I give up.”
“I give up.”
“I give up.”
Immediately, many core disciples pushed off with their feet and disappeared into the heavy rain like illusions.
The heavy rain poured down, was.h.i.+ng away the dust in the dueling plaza and cleansing everyone’s souls.
Immediately, most of the one-thousand-odd people in the dueling plaza left, with only one hundred people still standing there.
Such a scene had never happened before. Everyone, including the heaven-cla.s.s Elders, was stunned at this sight.
“White Robes Xiao Chen! White Robes Xiao Chen!”
However, all those watching—the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s inner and outer palace disciples—were excited with their morale boosted. Their cries became even more resonant.
“I withdraw.”
“I withdraw as well.”
Slowly, out of the remaining hundred people, the veteran core disciples with extraordinary strength thought about it. They were indeed not comparable to Xiao Chen. So, they shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Then they left, feeling desolate yet liberated.
Soon, aside from Xiao Chen, only the previous strongest core disciple Zhang Ye, the current strongest core disciple Yi Qianyun, and the three excellent talents among the new core disciples Xiao Jinyu, Fang Tianyi, and Qin Yan remained on the dueling plaza.
There was a total of six people.
These six all had their own demands and objectives. For this day, they had invested too much effort and resources.
Even though five of them knew that they would lose, they would not give up.
“Receive three moves from me first.”
Fang Tianyi snorted coldly and smashed his palm on the ground.
“Boom!”
The rain on the ground turned into waves that shot out.
In the next moment, Fang Tianyi appeared in the air and said, “First move, Scarless Sky!”
The moment the palm strike landed, Fang Tianyi launched another palm strike with no openings. This palm strike was like the vast sky as if it truly created the sky.
This palm strike seemed to contain a vast and boundless Heavenly Might.
“Bang!”
Xiao Chen sent out a fist light and clashed with this palm strike head-on. Then, he took three steps, moving one kilometer each step.
“Merciless Sky!” Fang Tianyi roared and executed an even mightier attack, one that was even more horrifying and radical.
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
The strong wind blew the rain into Xiao Chen’s face. In the next breath, Fang Tianyi charged over.
“Dang!”
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen made his move, using the tip of the scabbard to block the other party’s palm wind.
“Bang!”
The rain trembled and turned into dust. An empty s.p.a.ce appeared temporarily around the two.
By the time the pouring rain filled this empty s.p.a.ce again, the two had each sent out another move at lightning speed.
As the rain completely filled the empty s.p.a.ce, blood spurted out, mixing with the rain, and soon disappeared.
The rain was still pouring; the saber was still there. However, only Xiao Chen remained.
Fang Tianyi touched his neck with some horror. The formation ejected him; he had been eliminated.
“Clang! Clang!”
The sound of two weapons being unsheathed rang out. Qin Yan and Zhang Ye could not help attacking at the same time, charging at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen drew the Tyrant Saber, and a saber light appeared. He fought an intense battle with the two.
Two swords and one saber. The three clashed in the rain, seeking a conclusion.
At some point in time, the surroundings fell quiet as everyone became immersed in this spectacular battle.
Both Zhang Ye and Qin Yan were excellent with the sword. When working together, they become even mightier. However, they faced Xiao Chen.
For some reason, the two could not suppress Xiao Chen at all.
Be it Sword Techniques, Movement Techniques, or states, Xiao Chen could use his saber to break them in the rain. Instead, the two stepped into the dream that he created for them without them realizing it.
Why was this so?
Zhang Ye and Qin Yan used the sword in their hands to materialize states to suppress Xiao Chen with sword moves.
Xiao Chen’s state was superior. He used the saber in his hand to blast open the flaws in the other party’s spirit. Then, he sought a chance to kill them in one strike.
“Dreams as a Saber!”
When the chance came, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to detonate the move. When he sheathed his saber, a dreamlike, purple saber Qi burst out from the two’s chests.
“Pu ci!” The two vomited blood, and the formation forcibly transported them away.
The heavy rain continued to pour. However, the blood spurting out from Xiao Chen’s wounds never stopped. The rain could not wash the blood off.
“You are still not retreating?”
Xiao Chen looked around and saw that Xiao Jinyu and Yi Qianyun were still around. Then, he smiled faintly.
Xiao Chen did not hold back. Two Dao disks spread out behind him one after another, then condensed into a spot before surging out and rising three meters.
“How can it be like this…”
Xiao Jinyu, who was cradling his treasure sword, was stupefied. He had thought that with his trump card of the Sword Great Dao, he had the final victory firmly in hand.
Who knew, Xiao Chen brought out two Great Perfection Great Dao in the next moment. Xiao Jinyu was stunned, his mind completely blank.
Xiao Jinyu lost the strength to hold on to his sword. It dropped to the ground with a loud ‘clang’ and sent water splas.h.i.+ng up.
“Pu ci!”
The instant the sword hit the ground, the two Great Perfection Great Dao’s Dao Might layered over each other and knocked Xiao Jinyu and Yi Qianyun away at the same time.
