I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?
Chapter Summary
The Descending Dragon Palm destroyed the deep-blue vortex, shattered all her defenses, and in Ice Maiden's terrified gaze, the Golden Dragon swept her body away. "Looking at the white bead, Xu Yan remembered that during his fight with the Ice Maiden, she didn't have time or the opportunity to ask for help. Suddenly, Xu Yan slashed down with his sword, the Mountain and River Sword Dao manifested with a gentle breeze.
"You!
"Ice Maiden's complexion drastically changed.
She raised her hand to release a palm strike, and a deep blue, icy storm, with her as its epicenter, swept through the surroundings.
As she put all her strength into this attack, her previously fair and delicate skin quickly aged.
The beautiful Ice Maiden had now transformed into an old woman.
"You deserve to die, you must die!
"Ice Maiden roared in fury.
"I have consumed the essence of thousands of young girls to maintain my youthful beauty, and you've destroyed it all.
To get it back, I'll need to consume the essence of thousands more!
"Ice Maiden was furious, her intent to kill apparent.
Now that she had already turned into an old woman, she had nothing to hold back.
A deep blue light emerged, transforming into shards of ice, filling the air with a chilling aura.
She pushed the power bestowed upon her as a Half-Step Heavenly Being to its absolute limit.
Xu Yan's power, although beyond her expectations, still didn't intimidate her.
She was confident that she would be the ultimate victor!
At this moment, Xu Yan was filled with rage.
She had consumed the essence of thousands of young girls?
"Die!
"Roar!
The Golden Dragon roared, its aura overwhelming, as it concentrated its fury.
Its eyes shone with a ferocious light, its power rapidly increasing as it swooped down, bearing down upon the Ice Maiden.
"Who are you?
"Ice Maiden was utterly terrified, feeling her scalp tingle as an intense sense of danger enveloped her.
What kind of cultivation technique does this Golden Dragon represent?
"Your killer, Xu Yan!
"With all her might, Ice Maiden tried to defend against the Descending Dragon Palm.
She felt a vague sense of familiarity with the name Xu Yan, as if she had heard it before.
She hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the martial arts world in a long time, so even if she had heard of Xu Yan, she hadn't taken it to heart.
After all, as far as Ice Maiden was concerned, she reigned supreme in the Inner Domain, and no one dared to offend her.
Boom!
The Descending Dragon Palm destroyed the deep-blue vortex, shattered all her defenses, and in Ice Maiden's terrified gaze, the Golden Dragon swept her body away.
Compared to the giant Golden Dragon, her body seemed incredibly tiny.
Thud!
Even the might of a Half-Step Heavenly Being completely disintegrated under this strike!
Having made strides in advancing to the Tongxuan Realm, Xu Yan had strengthened tremendously.
Half-Step Heavenly Beings were no longer his equals.
Killing them was effortless.
Even if it's a low-level Heavenly Being, Xu Yan was confident he could defeat it with his sword, let alone a mere Half-Step Heavenly Being.
With Ice Maiden's death, all the remaining people in the Ice Tower were terrified and trembling.
"Spare us, we were forced to do it.
"Among the pleading women in thin veils, the two most powerful ones had already reached the rank of Great Grandmaster.
These people were Ice Maiden's minions, responsible for abducting young girls to feed to Ice Maiden.
They were truly deserving of death.
Xu Yan launched an attack without mercy, killing them all!
The Ice Tower was hereby eradicated!
"Let's see what we can find.
There may be treasures in this Ice Tower, we shouldn't waste it.
"Xu Yan had a smile on his face.
There should be at least some treasures in the base of a Half-Step Heavenly Man.
Now that everyone had been killed, it would be a waste not to ransack the place.
Just as he was about to loot the Ice Tower, Xu Yan suddenly looked towards the distant horizon, his expression changing.
"What's wrong?
"Du Yuying was taken aback and followed Xu Yan's gaze towards the horizon, asking.
Boom!
A figure suddenly descended.
The figure was overwhelmingly powerful, with an air of authority that suggested he viewed everyone as insignificant.
Du Yuying's face turned pale.
Who is this powerful being?
He was far stronger than the "Ice Lord" whom Xu Yan had just killed.
Xu Yan's face was serious.
A Martial Arts Heavenly Being!
A real Martial Arts Heavenly Being, albeit a minor one who's just in the Gathering Spirit phase!
When did the Inner Domain have a Martial Arts Heavenly Being?
Was he the old woman's savior?
The descending Martial Arts Heavenly Being looked like he was in his middle ages, with a clean-shaven face and a gloomy look in his eyes.
There was a faint scar on his forehead.
In front of him, a white bead was spinning around.
Jiao Ming looked at the "Mother Bead" of the Mother and Child Beads, which stayed above the Ice Tower.
The "Child Bead" had shattered here, so the person who had completed the task should be inside the Ice Tower.
He cast his gaze downward, and there were only two people in the entire Ice Tower.
His eyes lingered on Du Yuying for a moment.
This woman was not the one he was looking for.
He was slightly surprised to find such a beautiful woman in the Inner Domain.
Without expressing any emotion, Jiao Ming looked at Xu Yan from above, asking indifferently, "Where is the person?
"Looking at the white bead, Xu Yan remembered that during his fight with the Ice Maiden, she didn't have time or the opportunity to ask for help.
Therefore, this minor Heavenly Being did not come to help.
Who was he looking for?
Everyone in the Ice Tower had been killed, so Xu Yan naturally had no idea who the man was looking for.
"Who are you looking for?
"Xu Yan responded calmly.
Jiao Ming's face darkened, his gaze cold and chilling, said dismissively, "A creature like pigs and dogs, how dare you question me?
"Upon hearing this, Xu Yan was infuriated.
He was already annoyed by the opposing side's superior demeanor.
Now, he was labeled as something akin to pigs and dogs?
What's so great about being a Martial Arts Heavenly Man?
"Who are you calling 'pigs and dogs'?
"Xu Yan replied coldly.
"The pigs and dogs are...
"Jiao Ming's aura fluctuated dramatically as he answered angrily, soon realizing he had made a faux pas!
"Insolence!
"Jiao Ming was enraged, how dare a man from the Inner Domain, who was no better than a pig or a dog, play tricks on him?
Didn't he understand the might of the Heavenly Man cannot be defied?
"Kneel!
"Jiao Ming shouted angrily, if he wasn't searching for Su Lingxiu, he would have obliterated the man in an instant.
Boom!
The Heavenly Man's might abruptly descended.
"The might of a Lesser Heavenly Man, truly remarkable indeed, far surpassing that of the Half-step Heavenly Man!
"Xu Yan's heart shuddered, the might of a Half-step Heavenly Man was frail and empty, like a giant rock pressing down, while the might of a Lesser Heavenly Man was akin to a huge mountain bearing down.
Hum!
Xu Yan's Sword Intent surged outwards, effectively repelling the might, without the slightest influence from the Heavenly Man's might.
He waved his hand, teleporting Du Yuying far away from the ice tower with the help of a golden dragon.
Du Yuying's heart raced with anxiety, the strength of the newly arrived powerhouse was too terrifying.
However, she was helpless due to her lack of strength, it was already a great help to Xu Yan if she didn't become a burden.
Therefore, after being sent away from the ice tower by the golden dragon, she continued to retreat without stopping.
Jiao Ming was taken aback, why was his Heavenly Man's might unable to suppress his opponent?
Moreover, what kind of power was it?
It somewhat resembled the might, but it was not, it seemed to carry an unknown exquisite nature and intent to kill.
"If you were a Refining God Heavenly Man, I, Xu Yan, would have run away without a word!
"Xu Yan ascended step by step, standing at the same level as Jiao Ming.
"A mere Lesser Heavenly Man - how bold, to be so arrogant!
Today, I shall slaughter you just like I would a pig or a dog!
"He drew his sword out of its sheath.
"Presumptuous, today I will make you understand the might of a Heavenly Man!
"Jiao Ming was livid in his heart.
When did the people from the Inner Domain become so powerful?
Damn it!
Boom!
He swung his fist, starlight burst forth, like falling stars, fists embodying the force of destruction.
Roaar!
Xu Yan's expression remained cool, his opening move was the Mountain and River Sword Dao!
At the same time, two rays of sword light shot out, aiming straight for Jiao Ming.
Within the cycle of life and death, the entire battlefield was encased.
Being a Lesser Heavenly Man was no small feat, Xu Yan dared not take it lightly.
If he didn't make a move, since he had already his move, he was naturally going to thoroughly annihilate his opponent, leaving him no chance of escape.
He must grind him to dust!
Jiao Ming was startled, what kind of Sword Dao was this?
"These pigs and dogs from the Inner Domain couldn't possibly have such a mighty power.
Could he be from the Ling Domain?
Is he secretly protecting Su Lingxiu?
" wondered Jiao Ming with a cold heart.
He executed his double fist technique, allowing the starlight to rotate around him, he didn't dare to be careless at this moment.
"He is not a Heavenly Realm martial artist, his aura is unusual, and he is not a peak Great Grandmaster?
"The longer the confrontation, the more puzzled Jiao Ming was.
Whether it was the Sword Dao or the opponent's martial power, both seemed indiscriminate, neither a Heavenly Man nor a Great Grandmaster.
The martial arts he seemed to cultivate was not the martial arts Jiao Ming knew.
Xu Yan looked serious, the Lesser Heavenly Man in front of him was very strong, his fist technique was extraordinary, and starlight circulated.
Each strand of starlight was a brutal attack.
"A Fist Technique of the Ling Domain?
"Thought Xu Yan.
In the Inner Domain, such a cultivation technique didn't exist.
"Remember, your killer, Swords God Xu Yan, will slaughter you like pigs and dogs with just three strikes of the sword!
"Xu Yan said coldly.
"Presumptuous, let's see how you kill me within three strikes!
"Jiao Ming laughed coldly.
He admitted that Xu Yan was strong and not much weaker than him.
However, claiming to kill himself with just three strikes of the sword was absolute madness.
Unless Xu Yan was a Refining God Heavenly Man!
Hum!
Suddenly, Xu Yan slashed down with his sword, the Mountain and River Sword Dao manifested with a gentle breeze.
Jiao Ming sneered, starlight instantly fell like stars, the power of destruction surged, intending to complete obliterate the mountain and river, to overcome his opponent.
