Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 717: Chapter 715: Changing Faces!

Lin Xuan wielded the Spirit Dragon Nine Heaven Sword and slashed forward, instantly colliding with the attacks of the two. A thunderous roar erupted as terrifying saber glints and sword shadows swept across the area.

CRACK! The sound of something breaking rang out. The Blood-Drinking Blade, which had been emitting a bizarre radiance, was shattered into two halves.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sword continued forward, unstoppable, and struck the Blood Blade.

SQUELCH! The Blood Blade’s body was cleaved in two. Beside him, Blood Shadow was also enveloped by the Divine Sword’s power.

At the critical moment, she once again activated her body’s Blood Qi, forming a clone to take the fatal blow. The next moment, that clone was also torn to shreds.

The entire crowd was shocked. Everyone stared at the scene, completely dumbfounded. What in the world is going on? Lin Xuan killed the Blood Blade and severely wounded Blood Shadow with just a single sword strike? This is unbelievable!

Zi Su was stunned. Zhang Shaochu was stunned. Ning Xue was stunned. Lu Jiu was stunned. Mo Fan was stunned. Ning Yu was stunned. Every single person was completely and utterly stunned! They stared at the unfolding scene as if they were trapped in a dream.

On the other side, the members of the Demon Sect were equally dumbfounded. Their minds went blank and their bodies trembled, their faces filled with terror. The Blood Blade is actually dead! The Blood-Drinking Blade is broken! How could this have happened? That was a demonic blade, renowned throughout the Demon Sect! It possessed the Bloodthirsty Power! And now, that demonic blade was just... shattered? This is completely insane! Could the sword in that kid’s hand really be a Divine Sword?

Twenty meters away, Blood Shadow’s figure reappeared. Her face was pale. Having used her clone technique twice in succession, she only had a third of her Blood Qi remaining.

I was too careless, she thought. I seriously miscalculated. He really does have a Divine Sword. Even when I joined forces with the Blood Blade, we were no match for him. I have to escape. I have to escape now!

At this thought, she turned to flee.

"And where do you think you’re going?" Lin Xuan snorted coldly. Wielding the Spirit Dragon Nine Heaven Sword, he gave chase, and in an instant, both of them vanished into the night.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Demon Sect finally reacted. It is unknown who shouted it first, but the cry went up: "Run! Run for your lives!" The group scattered in a panic. The Blood Blade was their leader. With their leader dead and their other leader, Blood Shadow, on the run, how could any of them dare to continue the fight? Fleeing was their only option.

"Stop them! Don’t let them escape!" Zi Su roared upon seeing this, leading the charge herself.

Zhang Shaochu also waved his hand, shouting, "Follow me!"

He led the new disciples as they charged forward, and a great battle erupted. The hidden fourth-stage disciples quickly followed their lead.

Mo Fan said, "I’ll go protect Lin Xuan." With a flicker, his figure vanished as he quickly gave chase.

Under the cover of darkness, Lin Xuan moved swiftly. Yet, for the time being, he couldn’t seem to catch up to Blood Shadow. Her speed was truly fast, and her movement technique was incredibly bizarre.

However, Lin Xuan was patient. Even if his opponent fled to the ends of the earth, she would not escape his grasp.

He wasn’t too worried about the situation back there. Now that the two late-stage Three-Star Martial Artists have been killed, the remaining Demon Sect members are no real threat. Zi Su and the others should be able to handle them. Therefore, all he needed to do was focus on hunting down Blood Shadow.

Ahead, Blood Shadow’s face was ashen, and she was on the verge of collapse. I can’t shake him, she realized in despair. This is impossible! The power in her body was constantly being depleted. Two-thirds of her Blood Qi was now gone, and she estimated that the remainder wouldn’t last much longer. If she couldn’t get away from him within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, her power would be completely exhausted. He would catch her, and her fate would be utter annihilation. At this thought, Blood Shadow fled even more desperately.

In the blink of an eye, half an incense stick’s worth of time passed, but she still hadn’t managed to shake off Lin Xuan. During this time, she hadn’t encountered a single other member of the Demon Sect, so calling for help was impossible.

After a while longer, Blood Shadow felt her power beginning to wane, and her speed started to drop. The distance between her and Lin Xuan was closing. It seemed he would catch her very soon.

Blood Shadow glanced around in a panic and suddenly spotted a huge manor ahead. Faint lights flickered from within. Biting her lip, she prepared to enter the manor and hide. With this in mind, she quickly descended toward it.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan was puzzled. She’s not running anymore? He also descended quickly. Soon, one chasing the other, they arrived inside the manor.

Lin Xuan spoke coldly, "Out of strength, are we? This place will be your grave."

The Spirit Dragon Nine Heaven Sword in his hand began to glow with a terrifying light as he prepared to strike.

Blood Shadow’s face was deathly pale. "Help!" she screamed. Simultaneously, with a flick of her wrist, she retrieved a mask from her Storage Ring and placed it on her face.

In the next moment, her entire appearance changed. The former Blood Shadow had been a cold-looking woman brimming with killing intent. But after donning the mask, she transformed into an exquisitely beautiful woman, and incredibly, the murderous aura around her vanished completely.

"Who dares to cause trouble in our manor?"

At that moment, an angry shout echoed from deep within the estate. Immediately, a dozen figures holding torches rushed over. They were led by a young man in a green robe, who strode forward swiftly with a sword at his hip.

"Young Master, please save me!" Blood Shadow cried out. Her exquisite face was terribly pale and her eyes were filled with fear, creating a pitiful sight that would break anyone’s heart.

The green-robed young man had never seen such a beautiful and helpless woman before. He was immediately smitten and said quickly, "Don’t worry, miss. As long as I’m here, no one can harm you."

After speaking, he strode over to Blood Shadow and helped support her. Only then did he turn to face Lin Xuan, frowning as he asked, "And who might you be, you scoundrel? Why are you chasing this young lady?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected Blood Shadow to possess such a technique, allowing her to instantly change her appearance and temperament. It was an unbelievable transformation. He only snapped out of it when he heard the young man’s words.

He said, "I am Lin Xuan, a disciple of the Sacred Institute. I am here in Lion Moon City to hunt the remnants of the Demon Sect. The woman next to you is one of those remnants. Step aside at once and let me cut her down."

"What?"

Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar. The other Martial Artists holding torches grew tense. They had certainly heard about the remnants of the Demon Sect. There were many of them currently active in Lion Moon City, but they never expected one to appear in their own manor.

The green-robed man’s expression also changed. He hurriedly turned to look at the woman he was supporting. Blood Shadow looked aggrieved and said, "He’s lying, Young Master. Do I look like I belong to the Demon Sect?"

The green-robed man looked at her carefully. He saw a woman with skin as white as snow, eyebrows as fine as willow leaves, and a beautiful face brimming with a tragic, rain-swept sorrow. Her frame was so frail it looked as if a gust of wind could carry her away, inspiring an overwhelming sense of pity. How could this possibly be a ruthless woman from the Demon Sect? She is clearly a beautiful, pitiable fairy! He was utterly captivated.

He turned back to Lin Xuan and said coldly, "Nonsense! How could such a delicate woman be a remnant of the Demon Sect? If you ask me, you’re the one who looks more like you’re from the Demon Sect! Men! Seize him!"
