Chapter 1188: Chapter 739: Fallen God Bell (Part 3)
After the Poison Dragon’s death, its true form was revealed, transforming into a giant black python.
This python was so enormous that if it fully showed its true form, it would crush this street.
Gao Xuan waved his sleeve to collect the Poison Dragon and said to the Golden Ape King, "Go book two rooms for rest."
The Golden Ape King was stunned, as the Poison Dragon, which was stronger than him, was slain in an instant with no chance to resist.
It is known that snakes have incredibly tenacious life force; even when their heads are severed, they don’t die immediately.
The Poison Dragon, having lived for over a hundred thousand years, had begun to grow a single horn and vaguely resembled a dragon. Someday, once it grew two horns, it might transform into a True Dragon.
Such a formidable Poison Dragon, even if lying there for him to hammer at, wouldn’t easily be killed.
Yet, the Poison Dragon was slain in one strike of the Ripple Sword, dead beyond dead.
The Vajra Ape was deeply shocked, realizing how ruthless and fierce the Ripple Sword was. His desire for revenge faded away without him realizing it.
He realized that he couldn’t afford to provoke Gao Xuan, and apparently couldn’t provoke this woman either. If given the chance, he would run as far away as possible.
The Vajra Ape was so frightened by the Ripple Sword that he became extremely docile and compliant.
As for the other onlooking demons, they quickly scattered.
The Poison Dragon had been killed in a single strike, and they didn’t have the Poison Dragon’s abilities, so who would dare join in on this commotion?
The owner of the Peace Inn wanted to flee but didn’t dare to. He tremblingly arranged Gao Xuan and his companions’ lodgings, giving them the best courtyard suite.
Shi Wanqiu, watching from the bedchamber, also closed the Water Mirror.
Shi Wanqiu leisurely sipped his wine, "This Daoist should not be underestimated."
Though he had many Demon Kings under him, the Poison Dragon’s martial arts and magic could securely rank in the top ten.
The Poison Dragon was also holding the Fallen God Bell, yet in the end, it was killed by the collaboration of two maids.
Strictly speaking, the victory wasn’t too pretty as the Ripple Sword had help from Ice Soul.
However, life-and-death battles don’t follow many rules. After all, didn’t the Poison Dragon also have the Fallen God Bell?
In fairness, the Poison Dragon simply couldn’t match Ripple. As for the other maid, Ice Soul, her Ultimate Yin and Cold Sword Intent were very peculiar. Her cultivation might not be higher than Ripple’s, but she was evidently more powerful than Ripple.
Shi Wanqiu was unfamiliar with the ways of Human Race Cultivators; he couldn’t discern Gao Xuan’s origin just by observing their swordsmanship.
He asked Yu Lian Daoist, "Such an unparalleled Sword Dao doesn’t appear without a source. Do you recognize it?"
Yu Lian Daoist hesitated for a moment, somewhat shamefully shook her head and said, "I’ve never seen it, nor have I ever heard of such swordsmanship."
She came from the Cyan Lotus Sword Dao, which was the most renowned Sword Dao Sect in the Primordial Celestial Realm. Her master was even known as the Primordial Heaven’s First Sword Immortal, Yuan Qinglian.
Following Yuan Qinglian to study swordsmanship for a thousand years, she had seen many Sword Daos in this world and believed herself to have considerable insight in Sword Dao, yet she couldn’t recognize the swordsmanship of Ripple and Ice Soul. She felt a bit embarrassed.
Shi Wanqiu didn’t mind, "The Primordial Celestial Realm is vast and boundless, even Earth Immortals are numerous. Even your master can’t possibly know all swordsmanship in the world."
He comforted Yu Lian Daoist and then asked, "In your view, how is the swordsmanship of these two maids?"
Yu Lian Daoist thought for a moment and said, "Merely speaking of swordsmanship, the two maids are quite immature. But their Sword Intent is incredibly pure, as if they were born with it, and they have unlimited potential in the Sword Dao..."
The relationship between Yu Lian Daoist and Shi Wanqiu was rather extraordinary, so there was no need for her to lie.
While Ripple and Ice Soul have pure Sword Intent, their swordsmanship is still lacking. Firstly, they lack tempering, and secondly, there are slight issues with their swordsmanship itself.
Of course, that’s in comparison with the Cyan Lotus Sword Technique; their swordsmanship clearly falls short by a level.
However, the Cyan Lotus Sword Technique is the number one sword technique in the Primordial Celestial Realm. In this sense, it could inversely prove the opponents’ swordsmanship is impressive.
Yu Lian Daoist analyzed, "From the swordsmanship of these two maids, it is evident that Daoist Gao Xuan must excel in Sword Dao. If he holds a powerful Sword Artifact, Your Majesty must be cautious."
Shi Wanqiu nodded, "Since achieving the Dao, I haven’t encountered such formidable opponents around here. I’ll need to be cautious tomorrow."
Yu Lian suggested, "Why not use the Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal to capture the Daoist before all guests arrive to avoid trouble."
The Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal was Shi Wanqiu’s treasured possession, with which he controlled the Cloud Forest Sea and the Cloud Light Mountain Range, making it the core of their domain.
With this seal in hand, Shi Wanqiu could easily command the Power of Heaven and Earth in this area. It was also the foundation of Shi Wanqiu’s power.
Shi Wanqiu laughed heartily, "That wouldn’t be necessary. A thirtieth Era birthday should have some surprises."
As long as the Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal was in his possession, he didn’t fear opponents turning the tables. If the Heaven-Flipping Golden Seal was ineffective, making the first move wouldn’t make much sense.
Having lived for millions of years, Shi Wanqiu’s patience and tolerance were beyond ordinary beings like Yu Lian.
In his view, Gao Xuan’s arrival was perfect. Slaying Gao Xuan at the birthday celebration also allowed him to showcase his abilities before all the guests, letting them recognize the prowess of an Earth Immortal!
