Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 73: No Good End

As the Sect Master, Chen Fengyan was being viciously berated in front of countless Disciples.

The Elders, for their part, were utterly disgraced, fuming and glaring with rage.

Yet, they all forced themselves to hold back and did not attack.

"Little bastard, save your breath! Did you think that if we suppressed you with our Sword Souls, you could use that suppressive power to strike the Great Prohibition Talisman and break free? No matter how cunning you are, we won’t fall for it!"

Qin Shuzong’s gaze sharpened as he realized something. He gasped, then sneered and spoke.

As he said this, all the Elders felt a chill in their hearts, their eyes filled with deep apprehension.

’This little bastard is so devious, his methods so vicious! He’s actually trying to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, using our strength against us! He wants to use our killing techniques to attack the Great Prohibition Talisman!’

’And if the little bastard really could harness the Sword Soul Power from our attacks, he might actually break the Great Prohibition Talisman’s seal!’

"HAHAHAHAHA! Keep acting so arrogant, you little bastard! We’re just not going to attack. All your shouting and roaring really makes you look like a mad dog!"

At that moment, Guan Cangyun, Qin Tianzhao, and the others who had also figured it out couldn’t help but roar with delighted laughter.

Ye Tianling laughed as well, his eyes full of contempt.

"Do you know why you’re all still trash? Because you don’t know how to press an advantage. But that’s a lesson I won’t be teaching you today. Remember this: don’t let me, Ye Tianling, survive, or you will all die! One day, I will ’devour’ every single one of you!"

Ye Tianling snickered, his expression ferocious and menacing.

Inside his body, with his Sword Essence Power gone, the North Nether Divine Skill actually began to operate more fiercely.

"You’ve got no chance. Worry about getting rid of that Great Prohibition Talisman first! HAHAHA! We may not be able to kill you, but we can certainly humiliate you! Now that you’re just an Outer Disciple, how much Battle Power do you have left? Just you wait, you’ll be eating shit every day!"

Xiao Zhengnan had dropped all pretense, revealing his true colors. Gone was his gentlemanly and polite demeanor, replaced by crude language as he shouted coldly.

"If you want to eat it, I can definitely oblige you! Not only that, I’ll make sure you get your fill! I may not have much Battle Power left, but killing a useless ant like you would still be incredibly easy!"

Ye Tianling swept a cold glance at Xiao Zhengnan. Within his eyes, a supreme Lonely Sword Intent and the incomparably heaven-defying aura of his Dragon Soul Sword Spirit seemed to manifest.

"BZZZZ—"

The next moment, the Fiery Sun Sword that had been supporting his body suddenly flew up on its own and began to circle around him.

At the same time, the sword’s light pulsed as its astonishing Evil Qi and heaven-shaking Sword Intent flared.

"You—"

This scene truly shocked Chen Fengyan and the others. Their expressions changed drastically, their faces filled with utter disbelief.

"Heart Sword! You’ve comprehended the Sword Heart?"

Chen Fengyan exclaimed in shock.

Even the Elders like Guan Cangyun, whose faces had been twisted in savage glee moments before, now wore incredibly complex expressions. When they looked at Ye Tianling, the venomous hatred in their eyes was as intense as that of a viper, and their fear was even more palpable.

"Damn it!"

’How can this little brat be so clever!’

’What kind of Talent is this? How could he comprehend the Sword Heart so quickly?’

’His Sword Essence Power is sealed by the Great Prohibition Talisman, yet he can still use Heart Sword? What kind of Sword Heart is this? It’s terrifying!’

’Did he refine the Fiery Sun Sword with his Soul? Is it bonded to him? How can he wield it so effortlessly, as if it were an extension of his own arm?’

’The little bastard is too fearsome!’

’With Heart Sword, I’m afraid even an ordinary Sword Essence Realm Cultivator would be no match for him!’

’This little bastard is a spent force! He’s just putting on a show to intimidate us! He’s a paper tiger, nothing to be afraid of!’

’He’s afraid of being bullied, so he’s deliberately trying to scare us. Don’t worry!’

...

A wave of discussion rose and fell among the crowd.

Gradually, it seemed some Disciples noticed Ye Tianling’s weakened state and began to shout taunts.

Despite this, even Xiao Zhengnan refrained from any provocation, instead taking several steps back.

Better safe than sorry.

Xiao Zhengnan had no confidence he could block that lethal killing intent. The Blood Light Shield from his Sword Soul Guardian had saved him once, but it couldn’t save him a second time.

Therefore, after Ye Tianling activated the Fiery Sun Sword with his Sword Heart, Xiao Zhengnan’s expression turned ghastly, and his breathing grew rapid.

"Come on, make your move! If you dare to attack and I don’t kill you, then I’m not Ye Tianling!"

Ye Tianling sneered. He could feel the Great Prohibition Talisman loosening slightly.

’It’s just a method for sealing acupoints. For the Cultivators of this World, this strange restriction is practically unbreakable. The only ways to undo it are to shatter the Prohibition Talisman from within or to use immense power to disintegrate it from the outside.’

’Of course, a profoundly skilled Array Refiner would also have the Ability to release the Prohibition Talisman’s Imprisonment.’

’But for me, Ye Tianling, unblocking acupoints isn’t difficult at all. Although this Great Prohibition Talisman is indeed a bit complex, I’m confident I can remove it in three days at most.’

Right now, Ye Tianling was indeed in a very weak state. If it weren’t for the North Nether Divine Skill constantly absorbing the ambient energy between Heaven and Earth, if it weren’t for the endless regeneration and powerful recovery of the Dragon Blood in his body, if it weren’t for the profound foundation of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, and if it weren’t for the large amount of Elixirs he had consumed earlier... Ye Tianling would have already collapsed.

But for now, he was holding on.

And having endured it, the tempering effect of this trial on both his temperament and his willpower was astonishing.

Faced with Ye Tianling’s taunts, even Xiao Zhengnan and Qin Tianzhao’s faces grew dark, their expressions frighteningly cold.

The two of them gripped their Spirit Swords tightly but simply didn’t have the courage to take a single step forward.

Especially after seeing even the Sect Master, Chen Fengyan, be humiliated and furiously rebuked by Ye Tianling, they were even less inclined to act rashly.

"Heh, you don’t dare? A bunch of trash!"

Ye Tianling shouted coldly. His gaze swept over the crowd, his expression supremely arrogant. "I know some of you would love to see me eat shit. Anyone with such thoughts, feel free to find me in the Outer Sect. I guarantee I’ll satisfy you—I’ll let you eat your fill! And after you’re satisfied, I’ll beat what you ate back out of you and make you eat it again! Anyone who disagrees is welcome to challenge me at any time!"

Ye Tianling snickered, then retracted his gaze—because no one was willing to meet the ferocious look in his eyes, a look that contained the power of his Dragon Soul Sword Spirit!

No one!

"Ye Fengyang was very arrogant back in the day. Then, he was beaten until he was crippled and ruined, suffered all kinds of humiliation, and was finally captured by the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer for Alchemy. His final fate is unknown, but he was likely refined into an Elixir, consumed by someone, and reduced to ashes. You, right now, are a hundred, even a thousand times more arrogant than Ye Fengyang ever was."

Chen Fengyan took a deep breath, stabilized his turbulent Emotions, and spoke calmly.

His words had the effect of a Soul-Suppressing Sound, causing many of the Disciples who had been caught up in anger, frenzy, hatred, hot-blooded passion, or heated discussion to sober up considerably.

And for them, his words were also incredibly satisfying.

To the many Disciples listening, it was a gratifying and pleasing thing to hear.

"Arrogance and dominance require the strength to back them up. I suppose you think that just because you possess the Fiery Sun Sword, have uncovered its secrets, and built a foundation, you have nothing to fear. You think that because you have a mutated Soul, possess the Soul Talent, and have gained Die Xiyue’s favor, you can be fearless? If that’s what you believe, you will not come to a good end."

Chen Fengyan said, enunciating every word.

Ye Tianling sneered. "So what? Even if I don’t come to a good end, I’ll still have lived a more comfortable and fulfilling life than a trash Sect Master like you!"
