Chapter 98
Jiao Ru Lian: Waaah, whose good jiao and dragon are fighting? Holy Ming Sect, I hate you!
Under the midday sun, Shen Shu'an stood with his sword on the left side of the arena, while Jiao Rulian stood on the right, silently swallowing as he looked at Shen Shu'an.
Waaah, are we going to fight the dragons? Him?
Jiao Rulian's face was gloomy, but he was actually putting on a brave face. In fact, he was panicking and feeling uneasy.
However, Shen Shu'an on the other side was getting a little anxious. She looked at Jiao Rulian with a troubled expression and asked, "Fellow Daoist, aren't you ready yet?"
Shen Shuan: In a hurry, in a hurry, in a hurry to show off my big breasts.
Master's words just now were so cool, I'm stealing them!
"I'll be down in a bit," Shen Shu'an thought, 'I didn't keep everyone waiting, did I?' drooling inwardly.
In short, it's urgent!
"Fellow Daoist, it's been half an hour (seven or eight minutes) already, aren't you ready yet?"
Shen Shuan gripped the fine sword in his hand, his curved eyebrows furrowed, staring at the dragon like a sickle opposite him.
What exactly are you preparing? Why is it taking so long to prepare?
Although the girl didn't ask aloud, her big eyes were filled with doubt, making it clear to anyone what she was thinking.
Jiao Rulian choked, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear. He couldn't very well say that he needed to prepare himself mentally, could he?
He was mentally prepared to be beaten up. Last night, the patriarch specially sent someone to write to him, telling him not to force himself and to collapse immediately if he couldn't win.
This woman is absolutely invincible!
Jiao Rulian recalled the hastily written letter from last night.
He blinked, steeled his resolve, and took a deep breath, saying, "Alright, Fellow Daoist Shen, I'm ready..."
"Fellow Daoist, take this combo of my Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!"
Before Jiao Rulian could finish speaking, Shen Shuan had already stepped forward using the Flowing Cloud Step and unleashed a set of Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
Immediately, following Shen Shu'an's movement, eighteen golden dragon phantoms roared out and flew straight towards the thick Xuan Shui wall in front of Jiao Rulian.
Jiao Rulian's mind went completely blank, and he exclaimed, "??? The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms??????"
Audience members: "???"
The patriarchs of various sects on the stage were all bewildered.
But it wasn't over yet. After Shen Shu'an finished a set of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he immediately followed up with a set of the Cloud Void Chasing Moon Sword. Moonlight emanated from his body, making him seem like an immortal descending to earth.
The girl, clad in jet-black armor, shimmered with iridescent hues in the sunlight; her sword tip pointed directly at the scythe-like dragon.
"Fellow Daoist, I hope you enjoy the first move of the Moon Chasing Sword Manual, Gazing at the Moon."
After careful consideration, Shen Shuan came to a conclusion regarding today's battle.
The best defense is a fierce and relentless attack!
Thus, the water wall that Jiao Ru Lian used to defend against the dragon had not yet absorbed the eighteen golden dragon phantoms and the golden palm print.
Another dazzling crescent moon appeared, wrapped in sword energy and intent, sweeping in like a whirlwind, and was upon us in an instant.
Jiao Rulian was on the verge of tears, using both his magic and his two swords to defend himself, but he was still like a small boat in a storm, helpless and unable to control his own destiny.
His water wall barely managed to block a few dragon shadows before collapsing with a crash. Then his magic armor shattered, and his hands, which were holding two swords, were numb and swollen from the shock of Shen Shu'an's icy magic. His magic power was also difficult to circulate.
Even if he tried to use his movement techniques to stall for a few moments and regain his mana, the golden dragon shadow and sword energy seemed to have eyes and relentlessly attacked him.
It was as if he was fleeing while they were chasing him, and this had only been going on for a few breaths!
But Shen Shu'an on the other side showed no sign of stopping. Her hard work during this period was not just talk. She had even mastered the basic techniques of "Mountain Splitting Fist" and "Ice Shattering Palm"!
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, take another set of my Mountain-Splitting Fist and Ice-Shattering Palm!"
Jiao Rulian: "??? No—"
He scrambled to his feet, barely dodging the deadly sword strike. "Don't come any closer!"
Hearing that Shen Shu'an was coming again, Jiao Rulian's mental defenses collapsed. Prioritizing his life, he quickly said, "I surrender!"
But before the elders could even intervene to save him, the golden dragon phantom and sword energy were already catching up with him.
Seeing this, Shen Shu'an immediately stopped and stretched out his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, run!"
Jiao Rulian: ┭┮﹏┭┮
The next second, a powerful bang was heard—
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Fortunately, the life-saving magic artifact on Jiao Rulian's body was triggered, releasing a white light shield that enveloped him.
Jiao Rulian's body flew down onto the arena, rolling twice before barely coming to a stop.
A few seconds later, he struggled to his feet, looked at the stunned Shen Shu'an on the stage, and gave a bitter smile: "Fellow Daoist, I have lost."
"Furthermore, I really dislike this 'Moon Gazing' design!"
Jiao Rulian: Waaah, whose good dragon and serpent are fighting? Holy Ming Sect, I hate you!
The audience below the stage: "Hiss!!" xN
This Junior Sister Shen/Fellow Daoist Shen is indeed terrifying!
"Hiss, it's over in just a few breaths?? And Fellow Daoist Shen is clearly only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how can he possess such profound magical power?"
"Oh my god, I wasn't like this when I was building my foundation! This is really scary."
"Also, why do dragons know the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? Is that correct?"
"Is anyone from the Holy Bright Sect here? Come and explain this to everyone. Fellow Daoist Shen's combat power is a bit too strong, isn't it?"
Saintly Bright Sect disciple: "..."
"That's a long story, it all started with our junior sister Shen's enlightenment through swordsmanship."
"However, we didn't know this was actually the 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.' We can only say that Junior Sister is indeed far-sighted!"
"Oh dear, terrifying! Who is Fellow Daoist Shen's next opponent? If it were me, I'd concede defeat."
As everyone discussed, Shen Shu'an, after confirming that Jiao Rulian was unharmed, also jumped off the stage and returned to his relatives and friends.
She smiled slightly at everyone and said calmly, "I hope I haven't kept you all waiting too long?"
Shen Wanqiu, Xuan Yi, Qiao Pingsheng, Qian Hengduo, and several others: "..."
"Sigh, my sister/older sister/she's started making that crooked mouth again."
[Ding, host, the emotional value of people around you has been detected: 6685 points!]
[And your master's single-person large amount of emotional value: 1500 points!]
Shen Shu'an grimaced, puzzled, and silently turned her head to look towards the high platform.
……
At this moment, there was a deathly silence on the high platform.
The patriarchs of each sect dared not open their eyes, hoping it was just their imagination.
Only the patriarch of the Lingyu Immortal Sect was not surprised, and even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "As long as we Rulian are still alive, that's good!"
Anyway, we're here to recruit disciples, so winning or losing doesn't matter!
In the Western Continent, we are the only powerful sect, and we have enough slots for the secret realm.
Comforting himself, Old Master Xiong became the most relaxed one, and he laughed twice, breaking the silence around him.
"Haha, this young friend Shen is truly remarkable, possessing the same flair I had in my prime!"
The other sect elders glanced at him silently: What are you saying, you silly bear?
Meanwhile, on the side of the Holy Bright Sect, Ming Yan and Yun Shuling were staring at each other, glancing at the group of smiling dragons from Dragon Island beside them but not daring to speak.
Yun Shuling had no choice but to transmit her voice, saying with great distress, "Master, An'er's mastery of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is already superb? What about the later chapters of our Moon Chasing Sword Manual? Why didn't you teach An'er them?"
Mingyan raised his hand to cover his ears, his face contorted in pain, and transmitted his voice, "No, Ling'er, listen to what your master is saying. You know An'er's comprehension. If I'm not careful, An'er has already learned the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and he's quite good at it."
"I don't know what that guy from Dragon Island is up to either, but..."
"Well, it's a bit strange, but it works pretty well, don't you think? Try to think positively!"
Yun Shuling choked, then suppressed her anger and said, "What about the second part of the 'Moon Chasing Sword Manual,' Master? Don't tell me you've forgotten!"
Mingyan: "..."
Mingyan swallowed hard and silently looked towards the direction of the Sutra Repository.
"Don't rush, don't rush, Ling'er, your teacher has definitely not forgotten. I just wanted An'er to learn the cultivation technique in the library first."
"As you know, that technique is beneficial to the later chapters of our 'Moon Chasing Sword Technique'."
Ah, old book, it's been so long. I wonder if you're doing well?
There's really no other way. Supporting the child's cultivation is the most important thing. Old Master, I will bring my disciples to visit you tomorrow!
Waaah, are we going to fight the dragons? Him?
Jiao Rulian's face was gloomy, but he was actually putting on a brave face. In fact, he was panicking and feeling uneasy.
