Chapter 140: Who Is The One?
A cool breeze blew and the ripples formed on the water.
The surging water had returned to its calm state.
The demonic dragon was in front of Jiang Lan.
It wasn’t far, but it wasn’t close either.
Its astonishing aura easily instilled fear in others.
The single-horned demonic dragon did not retract its aura after being summoned. Its eyes revealed a ferocious glint as its aura spread.
Suddenly, the wind grew stronger and the lake water surged like waves.
The disciples who were originally sitting by the lake did not stay any longer. Instead, they retreated some distance away from the lake,
They looked at the sudden appearance of the demonic dragon in astonishment.
“I’ve heard of demonic dragons in the lake before but I thought that it was just a mere legend.”
“Indeed. I’ve been in the sect for three hundred years, but I’ve never seen a demonic dragon in the lake.”
“I’m curious why Master summoned the demonic dragon today.”
“There’s a disciple who just landed beside the Summit Leader. Maybe it has something to do with him.”
“That’s true. I heard Master telling that disciple to attack and try to slay the demonic dragon with all his might.”
They were surprised. Slaying the demonic dragon?
If they weren’t mistaken, the Junior Brother who had suddenly appeared was only at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm.
“Do any of you know him?” A person who was about to become an immortal asked curiously.
“We don’t go out all year round, so we don’t know each other. We’ve never heard of that Junior Sister Xiao Yu either.”
At that moment, a female cultivator suddenly said.
“I’ve always been paying attention to that Junior Sister Xiao Yu. Ever since she came here, she has always been unapproachable. It’s fine if the Senior Sisters go over and talk to her, but when the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers go over, she will politely ignore them. However, when this Junior Brother came, she took the initiative to run over. Since they know each other, their relationship shouldn’t be too bad. ”
“When Junior Sister Xiaoyu had just come over, I heard that the Third Summit’s Summit Leader personally accompanied her. Our Summit Leader wanted to reject her, but in the end, he couldn’t.”
The relationships between the Summit Leaders were not that harmonious, but if one party personally came, regardless of whether their relationship was good or bad, they could not reject the other party’s request.
It was because they were after all from the same sect and held equal status.
“Speaking of which, I seem to have seen this Junior Brother before. He should be the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit. The last time I saw him was decades ago.”
“Ninth Summit? The only disciple? From his attire, he is indeed a disciple who has been here these last two hundred years. But what is he doing? Why did Master ask him to slay a dragon?”
“Let’s see. With this sort of cultivation, he will definitely be asking for trouble before the monstrous dragon. Even if the monstrous dragon were to stand still, he would still be unable to harm it in the slightest.”
The demonic dragon’s energy storm was like a cold wind blowing against Jiang Lan’s face, causing him some pain.
From the look in its eyes, Jiang Lan could tell that this dragon’s viciousness had never subsided.
Not only that, there was a trace of anger and humiliation in its eyes.
It was as if he was extremely angered by the fact that he was being kept here and the Eighth Summit Leader could summon him as he pleased.
Yet, there was nothing it could do.
For this, he could only vent his anger on others.
For example, Jiang Lan.
“Try your sword technique.”
Jiu Zhongtian said.
He could see that Jiang Lan’s eyes were calm.
Once one was afraid of dragons, one would not be able to use the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Learning it was even more impossible.
If one managed to learn the skill, it meant that one no longer feared dragons.
From what he saw, Jiang Lan had indeed passed this requirement.
For Jiang Lan, this was the first time he was facing a demonic dragon at such a close distance.
He also wanted to test the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword.
A spirit sword appeared in his hand.
The waves surged as he walked towards the demonic dragon.
As he walked across the water, the demonic dragon moved.
It swayed its tail, rushing towards Jiang Lan.
This situation didn’t surprise Jiang Lan.
The Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit only told him to use the Dragon Slaying Sword with all his strength. He did not say that the sinister dragon would stand there and let him slash it.
Hence, he had been on guard from the start.
Of course, he did not move too much. Instead, he raised his sword.
At this moment, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he looked at the incoming demonic dragon.
It was as if this dragon was full of flaws in his eyes. Its strength seemed to be infinitely reduced.
At this moment, he even had the illusion that he could kill this dragon with a swing of his sword.
But he knew that it was just an illusion.
With the demonic dragon in front, the Dragon Slaying Sword rose up, causing the winds and clouds to surge.
Xiao Yu instinctively took two steps back when she saw the sword energy.
She felt an inexplicable sense of danger coming from it.
It wasn’t just Xiao Yu. Even the demonic dragon could sense it. It was as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
But this natural enemy was too weak.
Without any hesitation, it charged forward.
The sword energy clashed with the demonic dragon as Jiang Lan’s sword descended.
Boom!
The two collided.
Woosh!
A powerful shockwave spread out.
The lake water surged.
The others were shocked by this scene.
“This strike is wrong.”
“Yes, something is completely amiss. It doesn’t feel like an attack an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator can produce.”
Let alone early-stage Essence Souls, most of them would definitely not be able to slash out with their swords and appear evenly matched with the demonic dragon.
“The problem is the sword. This sword move is a little strange.”
Soon, the waves calmed down.
Jiang Lan was sent flying, landing miserably by the lake.
Meanwhile, the demonic dragon was trapped on the surface of the lake, glaring at the shore as if it wanted to tear the other party apart.
A dragon’s roar came from the lake.
It represented its anger.
If it had not been imprisoned, it would have successfully torn apart that human.
“There are sword marks on its body. Has it been injured?”
Some disciples with bright eyes saw the sword marks on the demonic dragon’s body.
Although it did not cause any actual harm.
But it did bring a certain amount of impact to the dragon.
“Didn’t someone say that even if the demonic dragon stood still, this Junior Brother wouldn’t be able to hurt it? Come out and say it again.”
“When you hit someone, don’t hit their face.”
“But what’s the name of this sword technique? I feel that it’s not a problem of cultivation, but a problem of this sword technique. But I can’t understand it. ”
“Dragon Slaying Sword.” A calm voice rang out from behind these people. They turned their heads and immediately called out to the person respectfully.
Lu Jian nodded and explained while looking at Jiang Lan.
“Junior Brother Jiang has learned the Dragon Slaying Sword that others can’t. However, from the looks of it, he hasn’t comprehended the essence of it. This trip of his should be to understand the true essence of the Dragon Slaying Sword.”
“Dragon Slaying Sword? It can actually be learned?” Some people were in disbelief.
Lu Jian nodded. This was naturally true.
But…
He didn’t understand why Jiang Lan would suddenly learn the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Was he unhappy with the marriage or the dragon race?
There were some things that others did not know, but he did.
For example, the Kunlun Ceremony half a year later.
At that time, the entire sect would be shaken.
He was a little curious about how the person involved felt.
If he had time, he could go over and have a chat.
Now that his master was here, it was not good to disturb him.
Jiang Lan stood by the lake and kept his sword. Then, he cast a healing spell on his arm.
He was almost seriously injured.
The demonic dragon was too powerful.
He had no way of resisting it.
“If I had used the power of nine bulls just now, I might have been able to deal with it and bring more pain to the other party. In terms of speed, my Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel ensures that I am not inferior to it. I wonder how strong this dragon would be if it were to unleash its full strength.”
Looking at the demonic dragon, Jiang Lan subconsciously wondered if he could deal with it with his full strength.
He was currently at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm, so he was still a little weak against powerful beings above the Immortal Realm.
However, he was very curious. Was the creator of the Dragon Slaying Sword really capable of slaying dragons?
