Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 491: Chapter 458: Shangguan Mingxin’s Strength

The sound was crisp, but at this moment, it was like a million thunders bursting simultaneously, causing the clouds above the Qilin Daoist Temple to roil as it spread!

What was originally a fair and clear void, now darkened instantly due to the tumbling clouds.

It was as though countless people were roaring, and as if numerous demon beasts were stampeding.

Inside the great hall, True Person Fa Yue suddenly looked up. The middle-aged man and others also turned their gazes to the void at that moment.

All being of the Dragon God Realm, when they looked up, their vision penetrated the hall and saw a figure stepping out from within the churning clouds.

This figure was graceful, not strikingly beautiful, but her demeanor at this moment gave off an immensely pure and fresh aura.

It was Shangguan Mingxin!

Beneath Shangguan Mingxin’s feet was a flying sword, brimming with a golden hue. It appeared to be merely a Gold Rank weapon, and indeed, it was only a Gold Rank weapon.

She did not know artifact refining, and ever since Su Han had left, she had always stayed within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son. Without anyone refining artifacts or any resources, her cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage Peak, but she still could only use a Gold Rank weapon.

However, her weapon had always been tempered by her True Yuan, making it seem like gold on the surface, but in terms of sharpness, it had surpassed Gold Rank.

When Shangguan Mingxin looked down, her gaze seemed to clash with True Person Fa Yue and the others. With a step forward, the churning clouds suddenly parted slightly, forming a cluster of clouds that appeared beneath her feet.

Meanwhile, the golden longsword flew out, grabbed by Shangguan Mingxin. Holding the longsword in hand, she pointed it directly at the Qilin Daoist Temple!

”Phoenix Sect, Captain Shangguan Mingxin of the Starry Divine Guard Corps, by order of the Sect Master, has come to the Qilin Daoist Temple to return a grand gift!”

The sound was earth-shattering, causing the clouds to surge. Behind Shangguan Mingxin, an illusion of a giant dragon with its mouth wide open, gazing down from above, formed!

This spectacle was incredibly astonishing and had an extreme visual impact.

In that instant, all the disciples of the Qilin Daoist Temple, whether cultivating or in seclusion, were jolted awake and looked up towards the void.

”Hmph!”

At the same time, a cold snort echoed.

Following the snort, a figure flew directly out of the Qilin Daoist Temple, ascending into the void and stopped in front of Shangguan Mingxin.

The figure was an elder, not True Person Fa Yue, but one of the Elders of the Qilin Daoist Temple.

”I am Zhang Yu, Elder of the Qilin Daoist Temple!”

The elder stared coldly at Shangguan Mingxin and said in a chilly voice, ”This is the Qilin Daoist Temple’s residence, a Seventh-Order Sect’s domain. How dare you, a mere riff-raff, come here and spout nonsense!”

”Zhang Yu?”

Shangguan Mingxin’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she laughed coldly, ”Indeed, there’s a reason your parents named you that. You look just like an octopus!”

”Impudence!”

The elder barked, his figure lunging forth.

He could sense the Martial Artist Cultivation in Shangguan Mingxin, but it was merely at the Dragon Blood Realm, worlds apart from his own.

The reason she could fly was surely due to that so-called ’flying sword’. Confident in his own Dragon God Realm cultivation, Zhang Yu believed that despite all of Shangguan Mingxin’s tricks, he could crush her with ease!

”Swoosh!”

His figure flickered, and the oppressive force of the Dragon God Realm Early Stage burst forth.

That pressure spread out like a torrent, aiming straight at Shangguan Mingxin to overwhelm her.

”Just with you?”

Shangguan Mingxin’s gaze grew icy as she had two reasons for insisting on coming here. The first was to test the current extent of her strength, and the second...

was for revenge!

”The Sect Master’s words are indeed true, the pressure from the Dragon God Realm Early Stage amounts to nothing for me. In fact, if I am willing, with just a thought, I can completely shatter its pressure and injure its spirit!”

Shangguan Mingxin silently said to herself, and then, with a flash in her eyes, the pressure from her Golden Core Stage burst forth suddenly.

”Boom!”

As this pressure emerged, the space immediately shattered, and the cloud-formed giant dragon behind her, as if it had come to life, roared with its head thrown back; with its mouth wide open, it surged towards Zhang Yu to swallow him whole.

With utmost speed, Zhang Yu’s face slightly changed. Despite attempting to dodge in a flicker, he was no match for the speed of the giant dragon and got swallowed in one gulp!

”Scram!”

The moment he was swallowed, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, for he only felt immense pressure from the giant dragon, but no life-threatening danger manifested.

With his explosive shout, he flipped his palm, and a pitch-black long knife appeared.

With one slash of this long knife, a slash of sword light materialized, creating a rift through the cloud-formed giant dragon.

But at this moment, just as Zhang Yu’s heart swelled with pride and he prepared to speak again, his body suddenly trembled, and his pupils dilated in shock!

He saw a streak of golden light outside the rift he had created, descending like a dazzling sun straight onto the top of his head!

It was only when it drew near that Zhang Yu could see clearly, that golden light... was none other than Shangguan Mingxin’s longsword!

”You think you can harm me with this Gold Rank weapon?”

Zhang Yu bellowed loudly, his voice masking his inner trepidation. Swinging his palm, he consecutively struck three slashes, each producing a sword light that swept horizontally, every single one spanning a hundred zhang!

”Boom, boom, boom!”

At the same time, the longsword finally arrived.

One slash down, the first sword light shattered directly, the second clashed for but a moment and then also collapsed, and even the last one could only withstand a clash with the longsword for a second before it too dissolved in the sky! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

”What?!”

Zhang Yu’s complexion changed, unable to believe it.

These three slashes, each representing his strongest power, had not employed Dragon Technique, but even a peer from the Dragon God Realm Early Stage wouldn’t be able to break through them so easily.

Now there was no time left for him to be shocked. After sweeping through three sword lights, the longsword came bearing down directly on Zhang Yu’s head.

Zhang Yu’s face darkened, his expression so sinister it could drip water.

At this moment, he could only defend, with no chance to attack.

A burst of light erupted from him, forming a light shield to protect himself.

The longsword arrived with a bang, cleaving into the light shield. A crisp crack sounded and the light shield shattered instantly.

It seemed as if all assaults, all defenses, were mere ants before this longsword.

It seemed as though the longsword had transcended its Gold Rank, appearing now as if it belonged to Holy Spirit Level, Earth Nether Level, or even Heavenly Mystery Level!

”Temple Master, save me!!!”

The moment the light shield shattered, Zhang Yu’s face drastically shifted, his heart pounding wildly; in that instant, an overwhelming sense of crisis enveloped him from all directions, and if he did not cry out for help, he was certain to die!
