Chapter 316 - The Roar of Ice Dragon Spirit

He Yingbiao looked at Yang Tianfeng who was approaching and said, “Oh? Friend, how do I address you?”

“Yang Tianfeng of the Yang family, Chuan Province!”

He Yingbiao was not like Mo Tiannan who knew nothing about the world. He naturally knew about this Yang family as it was also one of the top ten prestigious families of Violet Manor. Next to He Yingbiao, Ling Yuanshan and Zuoqiu Ping looked at each other. They thought to themselves that although the Yang family had a big influence, just Yang Tianfeng alone would not be able to do anything.

Xiao Chen said, “This is my own business. Senior Yang, you don’t need to…” Yang Tianfeng stretched his hand out and looked coldly at He Yingbiao. He said, “Young hero Xiao had once done me a favor, wouldn’t it be shameful of me if today I just sat here and watch? After all, I have lived a few decades. How will I face the world in future!”

Even if his cultivation was way below He Yingbiao, he spoke with dignity. Many people around him also secretly agreed with him. This Yang Tianfeng could be considered as a good man.

He Yingbiao’s heart sank. If it was in the past, he would have thought nothing of the Yang family. However, his vitality had been greatly diminished. It would not be wise to make more enemies. He said, “Yang it is best if you stay out of the way since you don’t know the ins and outs?”

At this time, an androgynous voice was heard from outside of the crowd, “The reason? Mainly because the juniors wanted to go out and establish their power which ended up throwing the helve after the hatchet. Now, they still have the pride to demand their weapon back. Shouldn’t you retrieve your reputation first? Or do you not want your pride anymore? Hahaha…”

The voice sounded odd like True Qi was used to press against the throat while making the sound. It was obvious that someone could not stand it anymore, but did not wish to invite troubles by exposing his identity.

“Who is that!” He Yingbiao bellowed. He glanced in the direction of the sound, but he could only see shadows.

“Say no more.” Xiao Chen took a step forward and sneered. He could only blame himself for not having a background in the Violet Manor, that he had no real protection.

If he was a young master from a prestigious family like the Su family or the Yang family, would they dare to be so arrogant when asking for the weapon? They would be ready to pay a huge sum of money for the return, even if they were just asking for it back. It would not be by threatening him that they would chase him to the ends of the earth just to kill him.

“The blade is here. If you’re able to take it, then go ahead.”

After that, Xiao Chen chanted an incantation and the Blood Lotus Demon Blade appeared. He put it on the ground and gravels flew out immediately. The blade was a few feet beneath the earth.

Many people have come around as they wanted to see what the Legendary Weapon was that the He Family the heroes were trying to recover so hard. The blade was in blood red and was covered with strange patterns. The width of the blade was about a foot long, its length was at least 5 feet long, and its depth was about 2 feet half. It seemed to weigh about at least 100 or 150 kilograms. It would be a rare Legendary Weapon for the people who study martial arts. However, it is not suitable for those immortal cultivators who are better with sword riding. The sword itself would be too heavy for a normal cultivator to lift, not to mention swinging it at enemies.

He Yingbiao’s eyes beamed as he saw the Legendary Weapon of his family. Immediately, with two fingers together, he drew a few spells. He then incanted at the Blood Lotus Demon Blade, “Immortal Slayer! Up!”

However, the Blood Lotus Demon Blade remained still. He Yingbiao frowned and incanted again, “Immortal Slayer! Come back!” But no matter what he did, he was unable to recover the blade with his internal strength.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “It is now called the Demon Slayer.”

“Demon Slayer?” He Yingbiao wrinkled his brows and incanted, “Demon Slayer! Up!”

Blood Lotus Demon Blade remained as still as ever. The crowd around him burst out laughing. He Yingbiao then realized that he had been played by this kid. What Demon Slayer! It was just this kid playing a trick. He bellowed, “Kid, what did you do to the Blood Lotus Demon Blade!”

Xiao Chen shrugged. With a what-can-you-with-me look on his face, he said, “Nothing much. Just a drop of blood for the Lord acknowledgement ritual.”

“Lord acknowledgment ritual? You have performed the Lord acknowledgment ritual with the Blood Lotus Demon Blade?” He Yingbiao’s body shook with anger and shouted, “Kid! I am going to kill you!” He lifted his palm at Xiao Chen, ready to attack him.

The attack would be so powerful that not even 10 Xiao Chen would be able to bear it. At this moment, a voice that came from the high platform said coldly, “Try touching him.”

Everyone looked over to where the sound came from and saw Su Yue, who sitting like an iceberg on the high platform. Her eyes were like two icy arrows passing through the crowd as they landed on He Yingbiao. He Yingbiao did not move, and his palm seemed to be frozen in the air. Su family was not as simple as the Yang family. It had been rumored that the House Master, Su Ying, had already entered the Grand Completion Realm. He was just a step away from being an immortal.

At this moment, the people from the rest of the sect were confounded. It had been rumored that no one from the Su family could interact with anyone with Xiao as their surname. Why did this fourth daughter of Su family choose to protect someone with the surname Xiao in the eyes of the public? If the family knew about it, would she not be punished?

Xiao Chen was stunned as well and turned to look at the high platform. Su Yue stood gracefully there, her hair lightly swayed under the breeze. Perhaps her cultivation was not as good as some of the seniors here, but her disposition was unmatchable by any. Could she have known of his identity?

“This is the Daoist League of the Five Continents. Have you thought clearly about killing someone here?”

Su Yue once again spoke coldly, and everyone was relieved. It was because of this reason, if not how would one from the Su family possibly be protecting a person with the surname Xiao?

He Yingbiao slowly put down his palm and thought, “Now the Blood Lotus Demon Blade has already acknowledged this kid as its Lord. Unless he kills the boy, it is impossible to retrieve the blade today to let the blade spirit acknowledge its Lord once more. This matter can only be planned again.”

“I have given you the blade. It’s you who didn’t want it. I will take it back then.”

Xiao Chen grinned and kept the Blood Lotus Demon Blade. He looked back and forth between Zuoqiu Yang and Ling Yuanshan. “So do you still want it?”

Zuoqiu Ping thought, “The Spirit-annihilation Halberd had probably acknowledged him as its lord as well and it would be difficult to retrieve it today. Why bother losing our reputation?” As for Ling Yuanshan, he thought, “My cultivation is not as good as this kid. I can’t possibly threaten and intimidate him like He Yingbiao.”

“I will take my leave then. Leopard Cat Spirit and Xian’er, let’s go.”

As Xiao Chen turned and took a few steps, a voice spoke coldly behind him, “Wait, who said you can leave?”

Xiao Chen turned back and looked. The person who spoke was the young man next to Mo Tiannan. He smiled and said, “Why? I don’t remember anything from the Mo Clan had been left with me.”

The young man said coldly, “Well, it is not that. But I think you should remember someone named Mo Yu.”

Xiao Chen was startled. Mo Yu? The Mo Yu who had competed with him for the quota in Violet Manor in the Three Pure Sect in the past must have been from this Mo Clan. Next to him, Chu Hanyan and Yang Shaochen looked at each other. Yang Shaochen shook his head gently, indicating that they should not talk more.

“Wen’er!” Mo Tiannan suddenly shouted.

People from Violet Manor had always looked down at people from the Human World. This Mo Tiannan naturally did not want his family’s affairs to be known to the world, so he promptly stopped Mo Wen.

Xiao Chen observed their body language and naturally took a few pointers. He said faintly, “I don’t remember. Spill. What do you want?”

Mo Wen’s stare turned ice-cold as he said, “I heard that you are the top youth in Violet Manor and had already entered the Nascent Soul Realm. I would d-e-f-n-i-t-e-l-y love to seek some advice from you.”

The crowd around was dumbfounded by those words. This normal-looking young man who had already entered the Nascent Soul Realm?

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “I have never said that I am the top youth of Violet Manor. If you like it, you can take it with this title. Save that trouble of having a duel.” Then he turned and walked away.

“Stop right there! Did I say you can go…” Mo Wen said with a gloomy face. If it was in the past, who would have dared to talk to his Mo clan this way?

Xiao Chen didn’t turn around. He just tilted his head a little and said, “If everyone wants to duel me to establish themselves, then I might as well don’t cultivate. I should just run an arena. One comes today and a pair comes tomorrow. For someone like you, I’m afraid it will be a never-ending duel for me?”

After he was done, Xiao Chen continued to his steps towards the place afar. Zhiluan turned and flapped his wings and said, “That’s it, meow!” Then he followed after Xiao Chen.

Suddenly, the crowd screamed. It was Mo Wen who lifted his palm and rushed to Xiao Chen. Many people were pushed away by this sudden wind. Zhiluan cried, “What the meowing heck! Kiddo! He’s coming for you!”

“What’s the rush?”

Xiao Chen turned around as he flipped his sleeve. Then, two ice dragons that seemed both real and fake at the same time roared as they emerged. The temperature in the square suddenly dropped. The air was instantly condensed with a layer of ice crystals, even the plants nearby were frosted. Everyone was shivering in the cold even when they had their True Energy to keep warm. At this moment, it seemed that they were about to be frozen completely.

As the two ice dragons breathed, the ground was immediately formed with a layer of frost ice spreading towards Mo Wen. It took just a moment the entire area within a hundred feet radius was completely covered by ice. Mo Wen was frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.

“What! What is this martial art!” Many people in the distance looked at the two ice dragons in midair and cried. The elders of each sect were also surprised. To be able to freeze an opponent of similar strength, this is no usual ice magic spell!

This was the fifth move of the 9-Dragon Roar from the Mystic Cyan Sect—The Roar of Ice Dragon Spirit.
