Chapter 873: Chapter 872 Soul Bells Chapter 873: Chapter 872 Soul Bells “`
“Dinglingling”—a crisp and delightful sound echoed in their ears.
Ancient Martial Artists, tens or even hundreds of meters away, felt a momentary spiritual disorientation upon hearing it.
It only lasted for a brief moment before they returned to normal, yet the faces of all the Ancient Martial Artists showed great shock.
In that fleeting moment of disorientation, for experts of their caliber, victory or defeat could be decided.
The bracelet in Long Guxian’s hand was named Soul Bells, capable of briefly disturbing one’s heart and mind.
Its grade was not high, merely considered a mid-tier Treasure Instrument.
Facing off against an opponent weaker than oneself, it was a useful tool to exploit.
...
Long Guxian had even learned a set of matching incantations to use alongside the Soul Bells.
Doing so could increase the success rate and duration of the Soul Bells’ effect.
With this trump card, Long Guxian dared to confront Shen Jianting head-on.
It had to be said, Long Guxian employed this move extremely beautifully.
Shen Jianting had just summoned the Divine Swords Purple Twilight, Green Lightning, and White Blaze within ten meters of Long Guxian when he heard the Soul Bells, fell for the trap instantly, panicked, his attention scattered, and his body even started to tremble slightly.
If the effect of the Soul Bells had been slightly stronger, it’s estimated that Shen Jianting would have fallen from mid-air into the lake below.
At this moment, the three Divine Swords had lost connection with Shen Jianting and continued hurtling towards Long Guxian’s direction.
But as they were propelled by inertia, their power diminished significantly, leaving them without much lethality.
A pleasant curve formed at the corner of Long Guxian’s mouth, followed by the Panlong Great Axe swinging left and right to sweep away the three Divine Swords, leaving only three “clangs.”
Purple Twilight, Green Lightning, and White Blaze were all deflected, thrown aside.
Seizing the opportunity, Long Guxian’s True Qi surged throughout her body, doubling her speed, and she charged at Shen Jianting.
A distance of tens of meters closed in a mere breath.
Originally holding the Panlong Great Axe in one hand, Long Guxian now gripped it with both hands, raising it high above her head, towering and majestic.
From above, she brought the axe down fiercely upon Shen Jianting.
A dazzling red light burst forth instantly, and a whooshing sound pierced the night as the axe tore through it.
In that instant, many sharp intakes of breath could be heard all around.
If he got hit by this, Shen Jianting would be split in two.
“This Dragon Maiden is too ferocious, going all out from the get-go.
Is she really trying to kill the young Jian Ting?”
“Holy shit, the Dragon Maiden is going for a one-hit kill on Shen Jianting.
Awesome!”
“Do you think the Dragon Maiden will take the opportunity to challenge either Chu Wuya or Li Tianfan, the first or second on the Rankings of Heroes?”
“Probably not.
Although the Dragon Maiden instantly took down Shen Jianting, her secret weapon has been exposed.
Without that secret weapon, do you think she could win?”
“I used to think Shen Jianting was so strong, but he was instantly taken down by the Dragon Maiden, tsk tsk tsk.”
“…..”
Most Ancient Martial Artists believed that Shen Jianting was sure to lose.
Mainly because Long Guxian’s move was just too ruthless, executed with precision—neither too much nor too little.
Let alone the fact that Shen Jianting hadn’t regained clarity yet, even if he had, it would be too late.
He couldn’t withstand this move.
Of course, not everyone saw it that way.
Take Chu Wuya and Li Tianfan, for example.
The expressions on their faces were very solemn as they stared intently at Shen Jianting.
Even with the situation so clear, they still believed that Shen Jianting wouldn’t fall so easily.
A powerhouse ranked third on the Rankings of Heroes, how could he be so weak?
If you were to ask for a reason,
Well, there was none.
“`
It was just intuition, the intuition shared between the strong.
Luo Xiong’s hands were clenched into fists with excitement at this moment, and Shen Jianting was so nervous he didn’t dare to blink.
He muttered to himself, “Damn it, don’t lose so quickly, open your eyes now!”
As the saying goes, what’s slow is actually fast.
In an instant, the Panlong Great Axe had already appeared in front of Shen Jianting.
The great axe was a mere twenty centimeters or less from Shen Jianting.
Long Guxian’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that if Shen Jianting did not regain his clarity in the next moment, she would forcibly change the trajectory of the great axe.
This was just a match, not a life-and-death duel, nor was it a battlefield with hostile enemies.
It was enough to determine a winner, there was no need for a fatality.
Just as Long Guxian was about to change the trajectory of the great axe, her heart suddenly sounded an alarm.
Shen Jianting, whose eyes had been blank and vacant, suddenly lifted his eyelids, and his eyes shone brilliantly.
A faint smile played upon his lips, an ambiguous smirk taking form on his face.
Seeing this, Long Guxian cried out, “Not good!” but it was already too late to react.
The Panlong Great Axe came slicing down fiercely, with no pause or obstruction, and not a trace of blood appeared as it swung down viciously.
The figure of “Shen Jianting” split into two in an instant and then dissipated completely.

An afterimage.
A chill ran down Long Guxian’s back; without turning her head, she instinctively positioned the Panlong Great Axe behind her back.
“Clang!”
As the Panlong Great Axe was positioned behind Long Guxian, a brown Heavy Sword collided heavily against the great axe.
A series of ear-piercing friction and collision noises made one’s scalp tingle.
Intense sparks illuminated the entire night sky with a sizzling sound.
Xuan Yuan, the heftiest of the Seven Divine Swords, barely looked inferior even in front of the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon’s massive form.
As the saying goes, a heavy sword lacks sharpness, and big skill is not work.
Among the Seven Divine Swords, Xuan Yuan was the least sharp, rarely used, but it offered the best defense.
So, Shen Jianting used Xuan Yuan to block the Panlong Great Axe.
The level of the Panlong Great Axe was much higher than Xuan Yuan’s, but Xuan Yuan could still temporarily withstand one or two blows from the Panlong Great Axe.
Just then, the lake surface suddenly brightened, and a red rainbow light shot out from the Sword Box, turning the entire night sky crimson.
Seven Extinctions, the most murderous among the Seven Divine Swords, and the one that had inflicted the most killings, was in charge of slaughter.
The rainbow light of Seven Extinctions was different from the crimson of the Panlong Great Axe.
Seven Extinctions leaned more towards the color of blood, and a deep red halo always lingered around the tip of the sword, as if blood were flowing through it.
Xuan Yuan was unsheathed, blocking the Panlong Great Axe.
Seven Extinctions was unsheathed, pointing at Long Guxian.
Within the darkness, the light of Seven Extinctions sparkled, resembling a death-summoning talisman; its tip was draped in a blinding deep red, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Before the sword had even arrived, the Sword Qi had already pierced Long Guxian’s skin.
It immediately sent a chill up her feet, and she knew, this sword strike, she absolutely could not block.
“Roar!”
In the moment that Seven Extinctions was about to reach Long Guxian, a high and clear dragon’s roar resounded over the lake.
The sound of the dragon’s roar echoed across the lake, soaring into the skies.
Then, to everyone’s astonishment, Long Guxian’s figure started to become illusory.
In the blink of an eye, Long Guxian had vanished, replaced by a dragon!
