Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 472: Chapter 469 Annihilation

Without sound or breath, the world was eerily silent.

This was the sole scene when the first petal of the Fire Lotus made contact with the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword.

The terror and astonishment of the Fire Lotus could be felt by everyone, yet when it attacked, there was no sound at all, no roaring or thunderous noise.

Even the constant clamor from the Loose Cultivators that surrounded the area had fallen silent at this moment.

It was as if within heaven and earth, only the splendid Fire Lotus remained.

The moment the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword touched the Fire Lotus, annihilation began, starting at the tip of the sword.

It was a silent obliteration, as if it weren’t being attacked, but rather disappearing without any reason at all.

The tip, the body, the hilt...

All of it happened in the blink of an eye. At first glance, the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword still seemed to exist; at the second, only half remained; at the third, the Fire Lotus had vanished, and the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword had disappeared without a trace.

Everyone’s pupils shrank at that moment, holding their breath deeply.

Their faces were filled with shock, unable to believe what they had just seen!

It seemed like only a moment had passed, yet it also felt like a long time, when Elder Duanmu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; finally, a huge uproar of shocked voices emerged from the crowd.

”How... how is this possible?!”

”That is a Holy Spirit-Level weapon!!!”

”Merely one petal from the lotus silently annihilated a Holy Spirit-Level weapon; what about the remaining two petals... could they even kill Elder Duanmu?!”

”He is only in the Dragon Pill Realm, I refuse to believe that someone in that realm could kill a Pseudo-Emperor!”

Not only the Loose Cultivators, but disciples from the Five Great Super Sects were also twitching their eyelids, overwhelmed with shock.

Even Yuy Qi and Duan Yunshan, who were entangled with the Seven-Colored Famous Bird and appeared as though they could be defeated at any moment, had a muscle in their face twitch, looking at the Fire Lotus with deep wariness in their eyes.

”When he spoke, it was just like the Void Chariot, also a Fifth-Level Magic. Why is this Karmic Fire Lotus so powerful...” Jin Lan’s gaze flickered, a deep sense of dread rising in her eyes.

Jin Lan had been up against a Fifth-Level Magic too, called ’Void Chariot’, as Su Han had mentioned before.

But now, the Fifth-Level Magic that Su Han was using, when compared to the Void Chariot, was incomprehensibly stronger, and far more terrifying!

Jin Lan’s heart was even feeling a sense of relief at that moment.

She had witnessed the Fire Lotus annihilate Elder Duanmu’s Xuan Iron Heavy Sword, and her own life-bound weapon, the ice-blue Longsword, was of the same level. She knew that if she had faced the Karmic Fire Lotus instead of the Void Chariot, her fate would have been the same!

Now to speak of Elder Duanmu.

His complexion was pale. The annihilation of the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword affected his mind deeply because it was his life-bound weapon, hence the large mouthful of fresh blood and some damage to his Primordial Spirit.

It wasn’t a significant injury, one he could easily recover from.

But at this very moment, Elder Duanmu’s heart was racing because there were two petals of the Fire Lotus, one on each side, floating towards him.

Elder Duanmu understood deeply that if the Holy Spirit-Level Xuan Iron Heavy Sword could be so effortlessly obliterated by the lotus, then his own flesh, if struck, would most likely perish instantly!

”Nine Shadows!!!” Elder Duanmu almost roared out loud.

All his rage turned to fear at this moment. He was no longer contemplating how to kill Su Han, but rather... how to avoid the Fire Lotus’s attack!

”Is this person just at the Dragon Pill Realm? Can it be that the so-called ’magic’ is really that powerful?!”

Elder Duanmu clenched his teeth in his mind, ”After this is over, I must confirm that a strong practitioner from the Dragon Emperor Realm in our sect takes action, not to kill this person, but to capture him and acquire the method for cultivating that ’magic.’ With his current strength at the Dragon Pill Realm to make me, at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, feel fear, if he reaches the Dragon Emperor Realm, how much more formidable would he become!”

”If I can get my hands on the method to cultivate that magic, my Sword Immortal Tomb will certainly soar to the skies!”

All of these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Even a trace of greed appeared in Elder Duanmu’s eyes.

However, greedy as he was, Elder Duanmu knew that at this moment, he was probably no match for Su Han and naturally did not dare to speak of capturing him anymore.

Facing the attack of three Pseudo-Emperor Realms, Su Han was able to resist forcefully. If he were to only face me alone, he might well be capable of killing me!

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

Several figures appeared around Elder Duanmu.

With one step, Elder Duanmu’s speed suddenly increased to an extreme. To the naked eye, nine figures could be seen appearing at that moment, and each one had Elder Duanmu’s aura. It was extremely difficult to discern where his true body was.

These nine figures formed a straight line, and whenever one figure disappeared, another would immediately appear, always maintaining nine figures in total.

Underneath these nine figures, Elder Duanmu suddenly widened the distance from the two petals of the lotus. His figure darted straight out of the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine towards the platform.

This scene made Su Han furrow his brows and caused an unpleasant look on the faces of the disciples of the Sword Immortal Tomb.

They all knew that Nine Shadows was Elder Duanmu’s strongest Body Technique Dragon Technique, one that he rarely used because it consumed too much energy. Under normal circumstances, if he resorted to it, it was certainly a matter of life and death.

As a Pseudo-Emperor Realm, Elder Duanmu was prominent in the Sword Immortal Tomb. These disciples had joined the sect for so long and had never seen Elder Duanmu use Nine Shadows.

Today, they had witnessed it.

And it proved that the rumor was not wrong, when Elder Duanmu resorted to Nine Shadows, it was indeed his time to flee for his life!

”Hum~”

The entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine vibrated, and the two petals being refined floated out.

Everyone’s complexion changed drastically, and they immediately retreated rapidly to the back or sides, like a tide.

They had just seen the power of this lotus flower with their own eyes and had no delusions of being lucky.

When these two petals followed out of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, they trembled slightly, and without a sound, they quietly dissipated.

This kind of dispersal appeared unthreatening to the bystanders and did not seem to hold any attack power.

But for Elder Duanmu, his complexion changed again.

With the disappearance of the lotus flower, the last figure among his nine shadows immediately vanished.

Then the second one followed.

This happened extremely fast, occurring within a split second—the third, the fourth, the fifth...

The eighth!

All eight shadows dissipated, leaving only Elder Duanmu’s true self!

”Ah!!!!!”

The terror in Elder Duanmu’s heart was indescribable. He roared to the sky, feeling no attack from the lotus flower, but his whole body shuddered as if he was sure he would die if he didn’t flee!
