Chapter 1049 - 1048: Dragon Slayer Sword Recognizes Its Master
"Oh, really? We’ll know once we try."
Chen Tianlong, of course, had heard about it, but that was only when being alert. In others’ eyes, his Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist isn’t something that can be easily guarded against simply by being vigilant.
Especially the fifth move of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist, not only does it come with a barrage of fists, but it also has the potential for a critical hit. If Xiao Jianteng gets hit by the Dragon Slayer Sword during this critical hit, wouldn’t he be in for a thrill?
"Hahaha, how ridiculous. I don’t believe that a kid with the strength of Celestial Dao three stars can defeat me with just the Dragon Slayer Sword. This is the biggest joke I’ve heard so far."
Xiao Jianteng was now unrestrained; he thought Chen Tianlong was just talking nonsense.
"Hehe."
Chen Tianlong didn’t bother with more nonsense. Instead, he began rapidly circulating the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. Success or failure lay in the final move. He had to assure that his strength and powerful Qi were at full capacity to unleash the final Frenzied Dragon Fist.
Though he knew the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist could be executed several times, the possibility of a critical hit decreased with fatigue. If Xiao Jianteng lost patience and unleashed a finishing move, Chen Tianlong might not withstand it.
After all, he was up against a formidable Celestial Dao five-star expert.
"Kid, I don’t want to play anymore. Hand over the sword." Xiao Jianteng began his final move, Fierce Dragon Slash.
In an instant, he rushed toward Chen Tianlong, transforming into a sword Qi as fierce as a dragon, swiftly sweeping through like lightning.
The powerful sword Qi surged at Chen Tianlong first. Chen Tianlong, having steadied his stance, unleashed the fifth move of his long-prepared Frenzied Dragon Fist.
At this moment, the Dragon Slayer Sword emitted a dazzling orange glow as if saying, "Look at my power."
Boom!
The collision of their powerful sword Qi created a thunderous noise, enough to shock surrounding people.
"Whoosh~"
Following that came the crisp sound of a sword piercing through a body, but it was only an illusion and not an actual sword.
The crowd was stunned. They never thought Chen Tianlong’s swordsmanship could suddenly transform into four illusion swords, with sword Qi fiercely bombarding the opposite Xiao Jianteng.
Caught off guard, Xiao Jianteng had assumed Chen Tianlong’s attack would come from one sword but didn’t expect it to become four. By the time he realized, it was too late.
However, this wasn’t the key; the other four illusion swords could only inflict intermediate damage at most and couldn’t severely injure him. Unexpectedly, a tremendously powerful illusion sword appeared, catching him off guard.
He could only watch helplessly as it pierced through his chest.
"Thud~"
Xiao Jianteng gasped, his face pale, painfully clutching his chest, clearly suffering severe trauma.
In truth, Xiao Jianteng had been critically hit by Chen Tianlong’s strike, though it was an illusion sword, its impact was as real as it gets. At this moment, all of Xiao Jianteng’s chest meridians were severed, rendering him half-crippled.
If it weren’t for the Qi of a Celestial Dao five-star expert still protecting him, he would have perished instantly.
"Wow!"
The crowd buzzed in astonishment; the speed had been too fast to see clearly, only hearing the deafening noise before Xiao Jianteng fell.
"Young master, are you alright?" Three followers saw Xiao Jianteng fall, clutching his chest silently with a pale face, realizing something was wrong.
"Quick, quick, take me home. My meridians are all severed. Ugh~" Xiao Jianteng suppressed a breath but finally couldn’t hold it in and spat it out. By now, he had completely lost his strength, his eyes rolling back before passing out.
The three followers panicked, hurriedly whisking away Xiao Jianteng, presumably heading towards the Sword Dao Sect at Five Elements Mountain.
Chen Tianlong finally breathed a sigh of relief, having dealt with Xiao Jianteng. Li Bingshuang and Mo Jing also approached, relieved to see Chen Tianlong unharmed.
...
"Chen Tianlong darling, are you alright?" Jian Wanli and Mo Jing stood dumbfounded outside, not as brave as Li Bingshuang, but they were both very concerned for Chen Tianlong’s safety.
"Oh, it’s fine now." Chen Tianlong casually replied, suddenly noticing Li Bingshuang pouting her lips, sensing something amiss. Hastily, he said, "Ahem, uh, Wan Li, don’t call me that, it’s a bit awkward."
"Oh, is that so? What should I call you then?" Jian Wanli realized Li Bingshuang was also his wife, so calling him that wouldn’t work. She thought for a moment before asking, "How do your main wife and second wife address you?"
"Chen Tianlong or Tianlong," Chen Tianlong replied, coincidentally answering Jian Wanli’s question without much thought.
"Ah, I see. Then I’ll call you Tian. I want to be unique," Jian Wanli said with a smile.
"..." Chen Tianlong was at a loss; even on a journey, he stumbled into a wife, blooming with luck in romance.
"Alright, Chen Tianlong, let’s go find a place for dinner and a stay. This place is about to close," Li Bingshuang intentionally said, not wanting Jian Wanli to keep clinging to Chen Tianlong.
"Tian, what do you mean go out? I’m already your wife. There’s no need to waste money; we’re all family," Jian Wanli cheerfully stated, not caring as long as Chen Tianlong would marry her, the rest was irrelevant to her.
"This..." Chen Tianlong was at a loss for words. He’d already stirred up trouble and couldn’t shirk responsibility. He’d disrupted several months of dueling matches, and breaking the rules like this wasn’t right. "Bingshuang, perhaps we should stay here tonight."
"Alright, then your two wives can take care of brother," Mo Jing said happily.
"Xiaojing..."
Chen Tianlong was at a loss for words, surrounded by so many people, talking about such matters was truly embarrassing.
Even with Chen Tianlong’s thick skin, having two wives discussing care in front of so many people was a bit too much. Li Bingshuang, standing nearby, was even more bashful. Though these were unfamiliar men, discussing such matters in their presence caused Li Bingshuang, with her thinner skin, to blush instantly.
"Tianlong, you are invited to visit my humble abode. My daughter fancies you, and as her father, I’m quite pleased. Having witnessed your skills just now, I realized you’re no ordinary person. If my daughter could marry you, I would be genuinely happy as her father," Jian Wuming stated.
Jian Wuming never expected Chen Tianlong to be so formidable. He had previously assessed Chen Tianlong’s strength as only Celestial Dao three stars.
It seemed the Dragon Slayer Sword had shown its power. They had possessed the Dragon Slayer Sword for decades, yet it felt like scrap metal. However, once in Chen Tianlong’s hands, it became a Divine Artifact. This showed that Chen Tianlong was indeed the one who could master the Dragon Slayer Sword.
