Chapter 298

Instead, it was as if an invisible mirror capable of devouring everything had completely... reflected it out!

Immediately after, that reflected sword qi, with a speed even faster than before and a more ferocious momentum, fiercely reversed back towards its original owner—the Northern Liang heir apparent, Xu Fengnian!

Not only did it contain Li Chungang's supreme sword intent, but it was also enhanced by Brother Ning Chuan's demonic power, making it even more... lethal!

"What? How... how is this possible?!"

Xu Fengnian looked at the familiar yet even more terrifying sword qi rushing swiftly towards him.

The triumph and madness on his face instantly froze!

Replacing it was boundless shock and an unbelievable fear!

He could not fathom why his ultimate strike, which condensed the lifetime sword Dao insights of Sword God Li Chungang and was sufficient to slay a Land Immortal, had been so easily rebounded by the opponent?!

Moreover, the rebounded sword qi seemed... even more powerful than before?!

This completely exceeded his understanding of the Wu Gong Fan Chou!

This is not Wu Gong at all! This is demonic magic! This is supernatural power!

He wanted to dodge, but that sword qi had already locked onto all his vital energies, leaving him nowhere to escape!

He could only watch helplessly as that deathly sword light continuously enlarged within his pupils!

"Young Master! Be careful!"

At this critical moment of life and death!

Jian Jiu Huang, who had been standing beside Xu Fengnian like a loyal old servant, let out a tragic roar!

His wrinkled old face was filled with determination and the meaning of sacrifice!

Without hesitation, he directly blocked in front of Xu Fengnian!

His cultivation base within his body burned wildly at that very moment!

The broken sword case on his back also emitted a clear sword cry!

He was going to use his own life to block this fatal strike for his young master!

"Sword Nine, Six Thousand Li!"

Jian Jiu Huang burned everything within himself, unleashing his strongest and final sword strike of his life!

A sword light equally brilliant yet carrying a touch of sorrow and determination shot up from the broken wooden sword in his hand!

It met the reversed supreme sword intent of Sword God Li Chungang!

Boom—!!!!!!

Two equally powerful yet utterly different sword qi collided fiercely in mid-air!

Exploding into an unimaginable, terrifying energy storm!

The entire coast of the Eastern Sea seemed to tremble under this terrifying sword qi storm!

Moments later, the light dissipated completely.

There stood Jian Jiu Huang's hunched body, still maintaining the posture of drawing his sword, quietly in place.

But the broken wooden sword in his hand had long since turned to dust.

The life force within him had also been completely severed.

This loyal old servant, who had devoted his life to the sword, ultimately sacrificed his own life to protect the young master in his heart.

The crowd on the shore had already been completely stunned into numbness by these consecutive earth-shattering changes!

Shi Shi Feixuan and Bi Bi Xiuxin, looking at themselves being tightly entangled by Master and Disciple Zhu Yuyan and Wang Wan, unable to break free, and at the black flood dragon that loomed over all beings like a god or demon in the sky,

showed deep helplessness and despair on their faces.

They knew they were wrong.

Wrong beyond measure.

Their sneak attack not only failed to harm the demonic dragon in the slightest, but instead...

They dared not think any further.

Master and Disciple Zhu Yuyan and Wang Wan watched with colorful lights flashing in their beautiful eyes.

They never expected that the supernatural power of this black flood dragon was so bizarre!

Even such a world-destroying attack could be easily rebounded!

In their hearts, their wariness of and... interest in Brother Ning Chuan reached an unprecedented peak!

Brother Ning Chuan coldly glanced at Jian Jiu Huang, who had died protecting his master; in those pale golden dragon eyes, there was not the slightest ripple.

In his view, this was merely mutual salvation between ants, not worth mentioning.

His gaze slowly turned to the Northern Liang heir apparent—Xu Fengnian—who had fallen into a daze and fear due to Jian Jiu Huang's death.

"Northern Liang heir apparent? Very good."

"This Seat was just worried about not finding a reason to settle the previous score with your Northern Liang Wang Fu."

"Since you, young man, have delivered yourself to the door, then This Seat will not be polite."

His massive flood dragon body slowly swam towards Xu Fengnian; with every step forward, it made Xu Fengnian feel waves of suffocation and despair!

Immediately, he glanced again at Shi Shi Feixuan and Bi Bi Xiuxin, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Master and Disciple Zhu Yuyan.

A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

He casually flicked his dragon tail!

Two invisible forces condensed from demonic power shot out like lightning!

"Bang! Bang!"

Before Shi Shi Feixuan and Bi Bi Xiuxin could even react, they were struck by that invincible immense force, spitting blood, flying backwards, and crashing heavily to the ground; their meridians were broken into pieces throughout their bodies, and their cultivation bases were completely ruined!

Brother Ning Chuan looked at those two tear-streaked, despairing and fearful, exquisitely beautiful faces.

A cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Considering you two are still passably good-looking, this Seat shall, for now, spare your lives."

"From now on, you'll stay on this Seat's Taohuadao and serve as bed-warming furnaces."

He planned to take these two Holy Maidens of Cihang Jingzhai into his own "harem" as well.

After all, beauties of this caliber would be a real shame to kill.

The furnace was to be their fate from now on.

At this point, the dust had settled.

Every enemy who dared offend his might had been beheaded or suppressed.

The tens of thousands of jianghu onlookers on the shore stared at the black flood dragon that dominated everything like a god or demon.

In their hearts, not a shred of luck or defiance remained.

Only boundless awe, shock, reverence, and… frenzied worship!

Some of the weaker-willed among them even dropped to their knees on the spot, prostrating themselves before Brother Ning Chuan and shouting at the top of their lungs, "The Dragon God has descended!"

They knew that from this day forth, the very structure of the entire world would undergo earth-shattering changes because of the black flood dragon before their eyes!

Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi gazed at this virtually invincible "son-in-law," his heart filled with an inexpressible tangle of emotions.

There was pride, and there was frustration, but more than anything… a sense of relief?

He knew that with Brother Ning Chuan around, Taohuadao, and his daughter Huang Rong, would all be safe and sound.

Xiao Xiao Yuanshan and Xie Xiaofeng, father and son, wore faces full of fanaticism and reverence.

They rejoiced that they could follow such an unrivaled existence — this was simply a heaven-sent opportunity!

Brother Ning Chuan paid no further heed to the crowd's reactions.

He opened his massive maw and swallowed whole the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Relic" suspended in midair, radiating boundless Buddhist light!

Boom!!!

An unimaginable surge of tremendous energy exploded violently within his body!

He immediately coiled upward, channeling the 【Heavenly Flood Dragon Nine Revolutions Art】 at full power, and began madly refining this energy!

The mysterious black flood dragon pearl in his dantian's qi sea, nourished by this vast energy, began to spin, condense, and transform at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The eighth dragon pattern coiled upon it instantly coalesced into shape!

Immediately after, the ninth dragon pattern emerged as well!

Nine Revolutions complete!

His cultivation base, at this moment, surged once more with astonishing force!

Breaking straight through the shackles, it reached an entirely new, indescribable realm!

Brother Ning Chuan could clearly sense that, once he carefully polished this surging cultivation base for a period of time and thoroughly eliminated the illusory instability within it,

He would be able to trigger the second heavenly tribulation within the 【Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Art】 — the Form Transformation Tribulation!
