Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 440 - 416: Cang Yuan Battles Hong Lie

The battle began quickly.

Hong Lie’s weapon was a massive Battle Blade.

His Martial Soul was a Golden Falcon.

Qin Qing had seen such a Martial Soul back when he was in Qian Country, during the spring hunting competition held by the Royal Family, where one participant possessed the Golden Falcon Martial Soul.

However, although the Martial Soul was the same, the strength and the aura that Hong Lie burst forth with were far greater than that of the individual from back then.

It was like comparing heaven and earth.

This gap was definitely not just due to a difference in Cultivation.

It was because of his own profound background, the Cultivation Technique he practiced, his understanding of Martial Arts, and his own conviction.

This is why Martial Artists from small places find it hard to grow.

Even if they have impressive talents, talents that are no less than those of the geniuses of the Ancient Countries, their ultimate achievements are still limited.

A Hidden Dragon, if trapped in shallow waters, spending its days with small fish and shrimp, will over time come to mistake itself for a True Dragon.

Only by venturing into the ocean, swimming through its vastness, will it understand the breadth of the seas, the wonders of the world, and one day rise through the clouds for ninety thousand miles, transform into a True Dragon, and look down upon all living beings between heaven and earth.

Hong Lie’s Martial Soul manifested; Spiritual Power burst forth, and he took the initiative to strike, launching an attack directly at Cang Yuan.

Among the final four disciples from Wind-Fire Academy this round, Cang Yuan was, in fact, the least renowned, even less known than Zhu Linglong.

After all, Zhong Hongwen had been famous for a long time, and he had already fought the disciples of Tai’a Academy several times, even killing quite a few of them.

With Zhu Jirong backing Zhu Linglong, her reputation was naturally quite loud.

There’s no need to mention Qin Qing; his fame had been rising within Tai’a Academy during this period.

On the contrary, Cang Yuan’s reputation was much weaker.

The label many had given him was just the traitor of Tai’a Academy; apart from this, not many recognized his strength.

But...

Whether they recognized it or not was other people’s business.

As for how strong Cang Yuan himself was, he was very clear.

Facing Hong Lie’s onslaught, Cang Yuan advanced to meet the attack.

Cang Yuan was also a Sword Cultivator.

As it happened, all four of the final people from Wind-Fire Academy this time—Qin Qing, Zhu Linglong, Cang Yuan, and Zhong Hongwen—were Sword Cultivators.

As for Cang Yuan’s Cultivation and understanding in the way of the sword, it was definitely deeper than what those disciples from Tai’a Academy believed.

With three consecutive strikes, his Sword Qi was like a rainbow, and within a few breaths, he displayed overwhelming strength, turning the tables and suppressing Hong Lie.

This made everyone take a second look at him.

"A sword travels a thousand miles!"

Cang Yuan let out a low cry, and his Flying Sword suddenly shot out.

This sword pierced the skies, gathering the force of heaven and earth aloft, then slashed down towards Hong Lie.

"Another sword cultivator with immense talent in the way of the sword!"

When Cang Yuan’s sword strike was released, Zhao Wuji, the Martial Saint of Tai’a Academy, saw his pupils constrict.

Then, Zhao Wuji glanced again at Zheng Yuanhai beside him.

Back in the day, driven by selfish motives, Zheng Yuanhai not only ousted Qin Qing from the Academy, but also expelled Cang Yuan from Tai’a Academy alongside him.

This meant that Zheng Yuanhai’s actions that day expelled two peerless geniuses from Tai’a Academy, both of whom joined Wind-Fire Academy and now became two major adversaries to Tai’a Academy!

Zheng Yuanhai could only give a helpless wry smile at this point; if Tai’a Academy were to fail in the Tianyong battle, he would truly become a sinner for the ages.

However, it seemed that Tai’a Academy was now in an unbeatable position because Mo Yu was there, along with Li Mu and Zhou Wen.

With these three, Tai’a Academy was almost in an invincible position, and now they also had an absolute advantage in numbers, so there was no need to worry about Tai’a Academy losing...

At this moment, the battle on the ring had become incredibly intense. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Cang Yuan’s fighting power fully erupted, gaining the upper hand and completely overwhelming Hong Lie!

"Break for me!"

Cang Yuan roared, his Martial Soul vibrated, Sword Qi howled, and Cang Yuan himself seemed to transform into a sharp sword, a divine sword existing between heaven and earth.

With a fierce strike, he slashed towards Hong Lie.

The golden light around Hong Lie trembled and burst with a thud.

But in that instant, a Spirit Talisman appeared in Hong Lie’s hand, which he placed on the massive Battle Blade.

"Boom!"

The Battle Blade erupted with dazzling golden light once again.

A terrifying Blade Qi formed a circular golden waterfall, enveloping him.

Cang Yuan’s strike was suddenly blocked by the golden waterfall, and his Sword Qi instantly dispersed.

On Hong Lie’s massive Battle Blade, the Spirit Talisman then burst apart.

However, Hong Lie quickly pulled out another Spirit Talisman and slapped it on the Battle Blade, causing the blade to burst forth with dazzling golden light once again.

Hong Lie took a step forward, let out a long howl, his aura surging like a rainbow.

"Splash!"

Hong Lie’s blade light slashed through the void.

It bore down on Cang Yuan from above.

Cang Yuan’s Martial Soul released a burst of sword light, his Longsword flew out instantly to meet Hong Lie’s blade light, much like a brilliant meteor.

"Boom!"

A loud noise resounded.

Sword Qi and blade light scattered in all directions, and the terrifying shockwave swept out towards the surroundings.

Everyone watched the two on the battle platform in shock.

To this point, the intensity of the battle had far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Hong Lie’s strength indeed wasn’t on par with Mo Yu’s, and was even further behind compared to Zhou Wen and Li Mu.

However, with the help of these Spirit Talismans, Hong Lie’s fighting ability was forcibly elevated to an entirely different level.
