Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 445 - 415: Cang Yuan’s Turn

"Die!"

Mo Yu’s lips moved slightly as he gently uttered this single word.

In that instant, a streak of golden light suddenly flew out from Zhu Linglong’s forehead.

"Boom!"

The powerful Sword Intent burst forth explosively.

It directly forced Mo Yu’s Flying Sword to retreat.

"Sword Path Talisman!"

Mo Yu was pushed back.

The Flying Sword also flew back to him.

However, Zhu Linglong was also sent flying out of the arena by that terrifying force of the shock.

She didn’t die! She retained her life.

Because within her body, there was a Sword Path Talisman.

Needless to say, the Sword Path Talisman is naturally a type of Body-Protecting Talisman.

The Sword Path Talisman within Zhu Linglong was naturally refined within her body by Zhu Jirong.

This kind of Sword Path Talisman is different from ordinary Body-Protecting Talismans.

Ordinary Body-Protecting Talismans may not necessarily be activated, because the person possessing them can sometimes be cut off from the connection between their Divine Sense and the sense of external danger.

Additionally, this kind of talisman that autonomously activates upon encountering danger, sometimes may not trigger in an extremely short amount of time.

But this kind of Sword Path Talisman, once melded into the body, can almost be activated one hundred percent of the time.

Moreover, if the person who refined the talisman is present, they can personally control it.

Just now, it was Zhu Jirong who personally controlled the Sword Path Talisman, thereby resolving Zhu Linglong’s crisis.

Zhu Linglong stood below the arena, her chest heaving, her beautiful eyes reflecting her lingering fears.

She had truly thought she was about to die under Mo Yu’s sword.

What she hadn’t expected was to actually survive.

It was as if she had just walked once around the gates of hell.

"Phew..."

With a soft exhale, Zhu Linglong adjusted her mindset and walked back among the disciples of Wind-Fire Academy.

"I’m sorry, I lost!"

Zhu Linglong said to Qin Qing and the others.

"If you’ve lost, then you’ve lost. It’s not a big deal," Qin Qing consoled.

"Yes, Sister Zhu, no one expected this Mo Yu to be so strong!" Cang Yuan said.

"This Mo Yu is indeed too powerful. If I were to face him, I probably wouldn’t stand a chance either," Zhong Hongwen couldn’t help but frown.

If in the next round they were to face Mo Yu again, they had no idea how they would deal with him.

Cang Yuan also frowned slightly: "If you give me two more years, maybe I would feel confident, but now..."

Cang Yuan, like Zhu Linglong, had partaken of the Sword Fruit and been baptized by the Sword Pond.

But their time was too short.

They hadn’t properly digested the improvements in the path of the sword bestowed by the baptism of the Sword Pond.

Given another two years, their way of the sword and their overall strength would significantly improve!

And by then, facing Mo Yu once again would not leave them as defensive as before.

"Senior Qin, if you were to face this Mo Yu, would you have a chance?" Cang Yuan couldn’t help but ask Qin Qing.

If even Qin Qing had no confidence, then there would be no hope in this battle of Tianyong.

Because Mo Yu would become an insurmountable obstacle for everyone.

Moreover, apart from Mo Yu, there were Zhou Wen and Li Mu in Tai’a Academy, both of whom were formidable experts.

And besides these two, there could still be other hidden masters in Tai’a Academy.

As the battle of Tianyong progressed to this stage, for the disciples of Wind-Fire Academy, it had turned into a challenge of hellish difficulty!

Qin Qing pondered for a moment and shook his head.

His shake of the head sent the hearts of the others plummeting to the bottom.

"Even Senior Qin thinks we can’t win?" Cang Yuan said with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

"It’s not that I think we are no match," Qin Qing spoke, "I’m just saying, there’s no certainty. Whether we can defeat him or not, we’ll only know when the battle comes!"

Qin Qing’s words rekindled a glimmer of hope in Cang Yuan and the others, who had nearly despaired.

At least according to what Qin Qing said, there might still be hope.

On the side of Tai’a Academy, their morale soared once again after Mo Yu’s victory.

"That Zhu Linglong, she would already be dead if her father hadn’t made that Sword Path Talisman for her!"

Mo Yu walked among the disciples of Tai’a Academy, speaking in a mocking tone.

"Brother Mo Yu’s strength is too powerful," Zhou Wen said at this moment, bowing to Mo Yu. He took the initiative to address Mo Yu as ’senior’, thereby conceding that his own strength was inferior to Mo Yu’s.

This was not Zhou Wen being modest.

Instead, the sword strike Mo Yu had displayed had completely convinced Zhou Wen.

He knew that his title as one of the duo at the pinnacle of Tai’a was nothing but an empty name.

And Mo Yu’s true strength was definitely above both his and Li Mu’s; thus, his address of "Brother Mo Yu" was uttered with genuine respect!

"No matter, the backlash of that Sword Qi Talisman must also have caused Zhu Jirong considerable discomfort. Zhu Linglong has a Body-Protection Sword Path Talisman, but the others don’t," Mo Yu said with a cold, disdainful smile. "If I can’t kill Zhu Linglong, but come across any other opponents on the stage, I’ll take down every one I meet."

"Brother Mo Yu is mighty!"

"Brother Mo Yu, after the battle of Tianyong ends, I have some confusions about the sword path that I would like to consult with you," another disciple of Tai’a Academy said to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu nodded, "Those are trivial matters. Right now, the priority is to win this battle of Tianyong. Everyone must stay focused and not be careless in the upcoming fights. If you can kill the people from Wind-Fire Academy, show no mercy!"

"Yes, Brother Mo Yu, rest assured, we will spare no effort!" Li Mu said.

"Next up, it’s my battle against Cang Yuan. I will fight with all my might," declared Hong Lie, the disciple from Tai’a Academy.

...

Soon, the second contest began.

This battle was precisely between Cang Yuan of Wind-Fire Academy and Hong Lie of Tai’a Academy.

As soon as Cang Yuan stepped onto the platform, he was met with a barrage of jeers from the Tai’a Academy side.

Not for any other reason but because Cang Yuan was once a disciple of Tai’a Academy.

And him choosing to leave Tai’a Academy to join Wind-Fire Academy was seen by Tai’a Academy as a betrayal.

Add to that, many people thought that Cang Yuan leaving Tai’a Academy to join Wind-Fire Academy was an act of extreme folly.

So at this moment, many were openly jeering at him.

Following Cang Yuan, Hong Lie also climbed onto the stage.

Hong Lie wasn’t particularly famous, and he had never been a part of the Tai’a Ten Heroes within Tai’a Academy, nor was he ever included in discussions about such ranks.

But Hong Lie’s background was not simple.

He came from the Hong Sect.

The so-called Hong Sect was an ancient force renowned for its expertise in the way of Spiritual Patterns.

Therefore, Hong Lie might possess various unknown techniques.

"Cang Yuan, go for it!"

Outside the arena, Cang Yunlan watched Cang Yuan standing in the middle of the platform, her hands tucked in her sleeves clenched tightly into fists.

Including the other members of the Cang Clan, at this moment, they were all watching Cang Yuan with concern.

Cang Yuan was their clan’s prodigious disciple, and it had been a tremendous surprise for them to have him enter Tai’a Academy.

Additionally, originally he had reached the Seventh Level of the Wind-Fire Tower and was to be mentored by an elder of Tai’a Academy. This was not only an immense opportunity for Cang Yuan himself but also for the whole Cang Clan.

But no one had expected that at the most crucial moment, Cang Yuan would leave Tai’a Academy to join Wind-Fire Academy.

Even so, the Cang Clan members did not blame him for this risky move.

Even though they knew that such actions could bring great loss to the Cang Clan, and might even lead the clan towards extinction.

But they still stood by Cang Yuan’s side, because the Cang Clan was a very united family, with all its members closely bound together.

Now that Cang Yuan was a disciple of Wind-Fire Academy and standing on the stage, they supported him unquestioningly!
