Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 250: The Vile Toad

The death of Long Yunyao caused an uproar comparable to a tidal wave.

The scene was utterly shocking.

Every Cultivator was deeply shaken. Some even caught an intimate glimpse of Long Yunyao, and their hearts pounded wildly.

A trickle of fresh blood still flowed. On the snow-white ground of the Ancient Battlefield, the crimson pool was as striking as plum blossoms in the snow.

It was blood from the wound where she had been pierced.

"This Ye Tianling... he seemed normal enough before. His actions toward Ouyang Ruoxue were so heartwarming. I actually thought he was a righteous and brilliant prodigy."

A Saintess sighed, filled with contempt for Ye Tianling’s actions.

"He’s wickedly charming and unrestrained, completely unconventional. That Long Yunyao verbally insulted the Qingzhuo Saintess. It’s only natural she’d face such a brutal reprisal!"

A Saint Child who couldn’t bear to listen snorted.

"Can’t you all see? This Ye Tianling doesn’t give a damn what anyone says. He couldn’t care less if he’s condemned by thousands. He’s a maverick who answers to no one!"

The Saint Sons and Saintesses began to analyze Ye Tianling’s character.

"He stormed the Dragon Race alone for his sister, held his ground to the death for his beloved, and cut down a Saint Child for a friend over a mere disagreement! He’s fiercely loyal and values his bonds. How is he a Demon?"

"Others keep their insults on their lips or in their hearts. He doesn’t keep them in his heart—he puts them into words and, more importantly, into action!"

"Serves her right for getting stabbed! That Saintess Long Yunyao was arrogant and thought herself above everyone. She should’ve been run through long ago!"

"It’s a shame he didn’t use his ’natural assets’ to do the job. A bit of a pity. If I could’ve witnessed that, this trip would’ve been well worth it!"

Some Saint Sons, and even some Saintesses, spoke glibly with calm expressions, eager to stir up more chaos.

When these comments reached the ears of Long Fengyang and the other Four Great Saint Masters, they nearly went mad with rage.

The might of the Holy Dao filled the air as an oppressive force radiated in all directions.

"Everyone, such demonic behavior must be purged!"

Long Fengyang unleashed his might, striking out in all directions. It enveloped even the Saint Masters from the other Holy Lands; none were spared.

This act displeased many of the other Saint Masters.

But since this oppressive might was of no consequence to them, many of the Saint Masters merely snorted and did nothing more.

The Saint Sons and Saintesses who were enveloped by this power restrained themselves slightly, but their faces now held expressions of contempt and derision.

The Saint Sons and Saintesses were all peerless prodigies, the most outstanding talents from each Grand Mansion. With their breathtaking brilliance and transcendent Talent, it was inevitable that they would be arrogant and unruly.

At full strength, their Battle Power was enough to challenge those of the Ancestor Dao Realm. Why would they fear a mere Saint Master?

Thus, despite Long Fengyang unleashing his power, it had almost no effect.

"Heh, throwing his weight around out in the open like this... I’ll teach him his place! A mere Saint Master is nothing but a failure who was too incompetent to attain the Holy Dao!"

One Cultivator began to sneer, cursing under his breath.

"One day, I’ll return the favor with the might of the Extreme Dao and let him tremble for a while. But for now, since we’re on the Cyan Dragon Race’s home turf, I’ll let it slide!"

"Since my clan’s Saint Master hasn’t said anything, I won’t get too wild. Still, watching Ye Tianling in action is incredibly satisfying!"

"Trying to suppress everyone here with the mere might of the Half-step Holy Dao? He really thinks he’s hot stuff! What a joke!"

...

The arrogant remarks of the Saint Sons and Saintesses were aimed directly at Long Fengyang, and they weren’t even trying to be quiet about it.

With the power and abilities of those present, such talk could be heard with perfect clarity.

This was a heavy slap to the face.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianling was momentarily stunned. He then shot Long Fengyang a derisive look, his eyes filled with even greater contempt.

"A Saint Master at the level of an old reptile like you... you should go eat shit for your Transformation Dao and just die already! Stop making a fool of yourself!"

Ye Tianling sneered.

Hearing this, Long Fengyang’s eyes narrowed, his killing intent soaring.

He glanced coolly at Long Yunfan and Long Qianying beside him. "You two, are you just going to stand by and let the dignity of the Cyan Dragon Race be trampled underfoot? Are you not going to act?"

Long Qianying said coolly, "I think it’s about time our Cyan Dragon Race made an enemy like this. It would be good for those arrogant dragons to do some self-reflection!

Of course, whether I act or not, the position of First Saintess of the Cyan Dragon Race will still be mine. As for this Ye Tianling, his opponent is Long Cangqian. Apologies, but I am no follower of Long Cangqian. He is not worthy!!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

As Long Qianying spoke, Long Cangqian’s expression instantly turned foul.

"Oh, and one more thing. Since I have everyone’s attention, let me make this clear—you want me to engage in Yin Yang Harmony with Long Cangqian? Not in ten lifetimes! A toad from the Ancient Era like him wants to get close to me? He should take a good look in the mirror and see what a pathetic thing he is!

Alright, I’ve said my piece. Don’t applaud. Don’t worship me! My Dao has never needed a Void Body, and it certainly doesn’t need anyone’s charity!"

Long Qianying was exceptionally cold and proud.

Her words were the ultimate humiliation, leaving Long Fengyang with no way to save face and causing Long Cangqian to nearly explode with rage.

"Bitch!"

Long Cangqian spat out the word.

Long Qianying shot Long Cangqian an icy glare. "If Ye Tianling doesn’t kill you, I’ll make a move myself and let you experience the true extent of my power! A Taotie? You’re nothing but a lowly toad from a bygone era!"

Every word from Long Qianying was like a dagger to the heart.

Calling him a "lowly toad from a bygone era" was a particularly egregious insult to Long Cangqian’s Taotie Divine Blood.

Long Cangqian’s blood began to roar in his veins.

"I’m afraid you won’t get the chance! After I kill Ye Tianling, I’ll kill this toad myself! Long Cangqian wants to be the First Saint Son? A bastard wanting to claim legitimacy? Did he get permission from me, Long Yunfan, the *true* First Saint Son?"

Long Yunfan finally stopped holding back.

He unleashed the authority of his station. ’My position as First Saint Son is being stolen?’

It wasn’t just a title being stolen, but his Life Chart, Qi Fortune, and destiny. He was naturally unwilling to simply hand over this position, especially to an outsider mongrel!

As far as Long Yunfan was concerned, he only trusted himself. Taotie Divine Blood, Celestial Mandate Divine Son—all of it was meaningless.

The only thing that mattered was the advantage he himself could secure!

Long Yunfan’s actions were yet another slap in the face to Long Fengyang.

At this point, the expression on his old face was beyond foul.

His killing intent had completely solidified.

"Good. Very good. You’ve all grown bold enough to ignore my rules, have you? Excellent! Cangqian, did you see that? In a moment, if they manage to survive their encounter with Ye Tianling, make them experience it fully—the taste of Taotie Soul Devouring, a fate worse than death!"

Long Fengyang spoke, enunciating every word.

"Let’s hope he has that opportunity and honor!"

Long Cangqian’s voice was savage.

Having absorbed and completed the Refinement of the entire Secret Realm’s power, Long Cangqian’s current Realm was incredibly formidable, and his foundation was terrifyingly deep.

He had almost fully manifested his Taotie Divine Soul. How could he possibly feel fear?

His only fear was that if Long Yunfan or Ye Tianling were to die at the hands of the other, it would be a tremendous loss for his Devouring Ability!
