Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 38: Saving a Peerless Beauty

Lin Xuan couldn’t see the woman’s face, only her back. Judging from her aura, she seemed to be just a Ninth Grade Martial Artist. This surprised him. Can a Ninth Grade Martial Artist really contend with a second-level Demon Beast? That’s unbelievable! Could she also be capable of fighting above her rank, possessing the combat power of a Martial General?

He used the Wandering Dragon Step to get a closer look and soon discovered the truth. The woman couldn’t actually defeat the second-level Gale Wolf; she was relying on a weapon—an umbrella. When opened, it acted like a shield, blocking the Gale Wolf’s attacks. Though the beast’s strikes pushed her back relentlessly, she remained uninjured. That umbrella is truly extraordinary, Lin Xuan mused.

Relying on the umbrella in her hand, the woman resisted bit by bit, all while searching for a chance to escape. Lin Xuan figured she would be able to get away, so he decided not to intervene. He planned to wait for her to flee before dealing with the Gale Wolf himself.

Just as he was thinking this, the situation suddenly changed. A venomous snake shot out from an ancient tree up ahead, striking like a bolt of lightning toward the woman’s unguarded back.

The woman sensed the air being torn apart behind her. She whirled around, and her face turned deathly pale at the sight of the snake. As she dodged, she called out, "Is there a senior brother nearby? Please help me!"

Lin Xuan was stunned. She discovered my presence? Remarkable. Since he had been found out, there was no longer any point in hiding. With a flicker of movement, he rushed forward and swung his sword, instantly cleaving the venomous snake in two.

The woman in front let out a sigh of relief. She turned and said, "My name is Feng Qingxue. Thank you for saving me, senior brother. Wait, are you Lin Xuan?"

Feng Qingxue recognized him, which left Lin Xuan utterly surprised. Firstly, he was astonished that she knew who he was. Secondly, he was completely captivated by her appearance.

She’s so beautiful!

He had never seen such a beautiful woman. Liu Ruyue was considered a beauty, but the woman before him was ten times more stunning. Her looks could topple kingdoms; she was a peerless beauty. For a moment, Lin Xuan was completely dazed.

Just then, a loud BANG echoed as the Gale Wolf’s claw slammed into the large umbrella, sending Feng Qingxue stumbling back several steps with a thunderous roar. Her face paled.

Lin Xuan snapped back to his senses. "You’re no match for it. You should leave, quickly."

Feng Qingxue nodded, retreating as she explained, "I came here to collect Spirit Medicine. I found a batch of Gale Grass, but I didn’t expect a Gale Wolf to be guarding it. It’s been chasing me ever since. Luckily, I have this powerful weapon to fend it off. Lin Xuan, let’s leave together. I’ll thank you properly for saving my life when we get back."

Taking cover behind the umbrella with her, Lin Xuan retreated and asked, "How do you know who I am?"

"Is it that hard to know you?" Feng Qingxue smiled. "You’re a celebrity among the new disciples. The former Young Pill King, and now the ’abandoned one.’ Both of those titles are known far and wide. It would be hard not to recognize you."

"So I’m that famous," Lin Xuan said with a bitter smile.

After they retreated another dozen steps, Lin Xuan said, "Alright, you can escape in this direction. It shouldn’t be able to catch you."

Behind them was a dense forest. The Gale Wolf’s massive body would surely be slowed down if it entered, giving her an easy chance to escape.

Feng Qingxue nodded, but when she saw Lin Xuan wasn’t moving, she asked curiously, "Aren’t you leaving?"

Lin Xuan shook his head. "No. My mission is to hunt Demon Beasts and obtain their Demon Beast Cores. If I kill this Gale Wolf, I can get a second-level Demon Beast Core."

After speaking, he strode boldly forward.

Feng Qingxue was stunned. "What? You’re going to kill a second-level Demon Beast? Are you crazy? Get back here! A second-level Demon Beast is equivalent to a Martial General. You can’t possibly be its match!"

Lin Xuan was a new disciple, a Ninth Grade Martial Artist at most. The gap between him and a Martial General was enormous. For him to go up against it was suicide.

But Lin Xuan didn’t listen and instead dashed forward, quickly reaching the Gale Wolf and thrusting his sword toward it.

Challenged, the Gale Wolf let out an enraged roar and spat out a Wind Blade. The blade was incredibly sharp, whistling through the air like a peerless sword light as it shot toward Lin Xuan.

This is bad! Seeing this, Feng Qingxue closed her eyes in despair. He’s going to be split in two.

A loud CRASH echoed, followed by a storm of energy that swept through the area, snapping nearby trees in half. An angry roar pierced the chaos. Feng Qingxue opened her umbrella to defend herself, staggering back five steps before she could stop. She looked up, and the sight left her frozen in shock.

Lin Xuan was standing there, completely unharmed.

What’s going on? Feng Qingxue was stunned. Did he block it? Can he really block the Gale Wolf’s attack? Is that even possible? She couldn’t believe it. No, that’s impossible. The Gale Wolf must have missed.

The Gale Wolf was also dazed. It let out an angry roar, naturally sensing that Lin Xuan was just a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, his cultivation leagues below its own. In its eyes, he was just a tiny ant. Yet, this tiny ant had somehow blocked its attack. It was inconceivable.

Feeling its authority challenged, the beast roared twice and this time spat out three Wind Blades. The three blades connected end-to-end, whistling through the air as if they could annihilate everything in the world.

"Be careful!" Feng Qingxue cried out, her heart leaping into her throat. This time, however, she didn’t close her eyes. She watched with her beautiful eyes wide open, determined to see how Lin Xuan would manage to dodge.

But she was stunned once again, because Lin Xuan made no attempt to dodge at all.

With a cold shout, he brandished his longsword and slashed forward.

What?! He isn’t dodging? He’s going to face it head-on? Is he crazy?!

Before her shocked eyes, Lin Xuan’s sword met the Wind Blades. With a single strike, all three Wind Blades were cleaved apart.

Feng Qingxue gasped, frozen on the spot, her mind going blank.

Heavens! What did I just see? Lin Xuan actually blocked a second-level Demon Beast’s attack! This is unbelievable! Could it be that he has the combat power of a Martial General? How is that possible? He’s clearly just a Ninth Grade Martial Artist! How could he possess such formidable strength? How did he do it? It’s simply unnatural! Is this really the legendary ’abandoned one’? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

At this moment, Feng Qingxue was utterly and completely shocked.
