Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 179: Mountain and River Map

Princess Zi Yan was extremely worried. "Young Master Lin, if you can’t win, just concede," she said. "You’ve fought honorably, even in defeat."

"Concede? Impossible." The Little Heavenly King snorted coldly. "He dared to injure me, and I will make him pay the price." Even if Lin Xuan knelt and begged for mercy now, he would not be spared. He activated the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror.

Light shot forth from the mirror’s surface, hurtling toward Lin Xuan. He raised the Spirit Pearls to block the attack, and the resulting collision produced a thunderous roar.

Suddenly, the mirror’s light fell upon Lin Xuan. He felt his body stiffen, completely immobilized. At the same time, it felt as though an invisible hand had seized his soul, attempting to tear it from his body. Lin Xuan’s expression changed drastically as he performed the Humming Sound.

HMPH! HMPH! HMPH!

After three consecutive grunts, Lin Xuan barely managed to fend off the attack. Pale-faced, he swayed and quickly dodged away.

"Useless brat, you can’t escape!" the Little Heavenly King sneered, rushing forward. With the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror floating above his head, he clenched his fists and launched another Celestial King Divine Fist, pinning Lin Xuan down.

The mirror overhead descended continuously. Even if it didn’t shine directly on Lin Xuan, its radiant light posed an immense threat. Lin Xuan was completely suppressed. The four Spirit Pearls around him had transformed into four Spirit Dragons, which coiled around him in a desperate defense. Still, defeat seemed inevitable.

"Brat, what do you have left to fight me with?" the Little Heavenly King sneered again and again. "Just accept your defeat!"

"Who said I would be defeated?" Lin Xuan retorted, no longer fleeing.

"What? You still think you can resist?" The Little Heavenly King sneered. "Even your strongest Spirit Pearls can’t withstand the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror. What do you have left to fight me with?"

The Celestial King’s Bone Mirror radiated a brilliant light, once again enveloping Lin Xuan as his figure appeared on its surface.

"It’s all over!" Tian Xing exclaimed, thrilled.

Sword Dust and the others shook their heads and sighed. It was impossible for Lin Xuan to make a comeback now.

At that critical moment, Lin Xuan waved his hand, and a bronze bell appeared. He shook it rapidly.

CHIME, CHIME, CHIME, CHIME!

A series of clear, crisp notes rang out. The sound transformed into sonic waves that swept out in all directions with Lin Xuan at the center. The forest trembled and the ground roiled. The onlookers grew dizzy. The weaker ones collapsed, bleeding from their seven orifices, while even the stronger cultivators clapped their hands over their ears in horror.

"Damn it, what’s happening? What is that thing?"

"It’s a soul attack! A soul attack!"

Upon seeing this, Princess Zi Yan exclaimed in surprise. She remembered that Lin Xuan also possessed a Soul Treasure! "Quick, get back!" she shouted as she retreated. The other prodigies scrambled back in a panic, their faces filled with terror as they covered their ears.

On the battlefield, the bronze bell’s power clashed with the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror. The mirror’s surface was struck by the sound waves and began to tremble. Lin Xuan’s once-clear reflection on it wavered and blurred, like a reflection on a lake’s surface disturbed by a thrown stone. As his image grew indistinct, the soul-pulling force weakened considerably.

Lin Xuan furiously activated the bronze bell. Its sound waves attacked not only the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror but the Little Heavenly King himself. The Little Heavenly King’s body trembled, his ears rang, and he nearly fainted. "Damn it!" he roared. Abandoning his attack on Lin Xuan, he used the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror to defend his own soul, finally managing to block the bell’s chimes.

Lin Xuan shook the bronze bell with one hand and commanded the four Spirit Pearls with the other, launching a counterattack. The two were locked in combat once more.

Are they evenly matched again? The crowd watched in stunned amazement.

How can this be? Tian Xing felt he was about to have a breakdown. Every single time Lin Xuan was on the verge of defeat, he managed to turn the tables. It was driving him mad. The rest of the crowd was simply shocked. Lin Xuan was truly defiant and unbelievably powerful.

"I wonder who will win in the end?"

"That depends on who gives out first."

The crowd buzzed with discussion. For them, this battle was truly spectacular.

On the battlefield, the Little Heavenly King spat out a mouthful of blood in frustration. Even after using the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror, he still couldn’t defeat his opponent? Damn it!

"I don’t believe this! I refuse to accept it!" he roared and spat out a beam of light. The light transformed into a scroll that unfurled in the wind, revealing a painted landscape of magnificent mountains and rivers. "Mountain and River Map! Suppress him!"

The scroll descended rapidly, enveloping Lin Xuan. Phantoms of mountains and rivers materialized from the scroll, pressing down on Lin Xuan. His body swayed as he was beaten back again and again. He tried to escape, but the surrounding mountains and rivers expanded rapidly, becoming like real mountain ranges and great rivers that trapped him completely. There was no escape.

The Little Heavenly King laughed triumphantly. "It’s all over! I am the ultimate winner!"

What’s happening? Is Lin Xuan really being suppressed? The crowd stared, dumbfounded.

Tian Xing’s expression flickered. He didn’t dare celebrate yet, terrified of being proven wrong again. If Lin Xuan managed another comeback, he felt he would truly fall apart. The other onlookers glanced at each other, at a loss. Could Lin Xuan still fight his way out of this?

Princess Zi Yan exclaimed, "Oh no, that’s the Mountain and River Map! It’s another great treasure from the Prince’s Mansion!"

Damn it, the Little Heavenly King brought two priceless treasures! she thought. The Mountain and River Map was in no way inferior to the Celestial King’s Bone Mirror. Its primary function was to trap enemies; once caught, escape was nearly impossible. It seemed Lin Xuan was truly defeated this time.

Thinking this, Princess Zi Yan rushed forward. "Little Heavenly King, stay your hand!" she cried. "Give me some face and don’t kill Lin Xuan. You can have the Spirit Pearls, but I must take him with me."

Hearing the princess’s plea, the crowd erupted in an uproar. It truly seemed Lin Xuan was defeated.

"Hahaha, wonderful!" Tian Xing finally cheered with unrestrained excitement. The brat is finally finished! Let’s see you get out of this one!

This battle was full of twists and turns, an absolutely dazzling spectacle. Sword Dust, Yan Wushuang, and Beiming were all in awe. The strength of these two fighters far surpassed their own. Any single move from either of them could have easily defeated them. Alas, they were completely overshadowed. The thought made them clench their fists in frustration.

Ahead, the Little Heavenly King snorted. "Spare him? Not so easily. He injured me, and I won’t let him off lightly."

"Little Heavenly King, don’t go too far! Are you refusing to even give me face?" Princess Zi Yan retorted. "If you dare to kill him, I will report this to my Father Emperor upon my return and have him punish you!"

The Little Heavenly King’s expression changed. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine. I won’t kill him. But since he injured me, I’m going to break one of his arms." He then looked at the trapped Lin Xuan and said coldly, "Brat, you’re lucky the princess is protecting you. I won’t kill you. You just need to hand over the four Spirit Pearls, tell me the method to control them, and then sever one of your own arms. Do that, and I’ll spare you."

Alas, the crowd sighed in astonishment. In the end, Lin Xuan was still defeated.

Tian Xing was furious. That kid isn’t going to die? How can this be? The princess is even protecting him? He was going mad with anger.

Inside the Mountain and River Map, Lin Xuan lashed out in all directions. His attacks made the phantom mountains shake and the great rivers surge, but he couldn’t shatter them, much less escape. He was completely trapped. Hearing the Little Heavenly King’s terms, Lin Xuan only snorted. "You’re celebrating too soon. I will not be defeated."

He began to prepare his final move: Spirit Pearl Fusion.

The Little Heavenly King’s face grew grim. "Princess, don’t say I didn’t give you face. This brat is courting death himself. This time, I absolutely will not spare him."

Princess Zi Yan grew anxious. "Lin Xuan, can’t you just admit defeat?" she pleaded. "Do you really wish to die?"
