Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 51: Celestial Demon’s Tune

Just as Lin Xuan was about to take action, a ray of light shot over from the distance. It was followed by a flash of blade light that descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning, landing right in the middle of the Demon Beast horde. Instantly, a large number of the creatures were cleaved in half.

This scene caught everyone completely by surprise, and they all turned to look. Even Lin Xuan paused and looked up.

A tall young man was rushing over from a distance. He held a Battle Blade, and with each swing, he sent out waves of blade light that slew all the Demon Beasts around him.

So strong! Lin Xuan was surprised. Judging by that power, he must be a Three-Star Martial General.

The surrounding Disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy were also stunned. When Zhao Feiyan saw this, she cheered, "Shen Xiaoyao! Brother Shen is here!"

"That’s great! We’re saved!" Sun Hao and the others were thrilled to hear this.

Wu Ming, however, asked, "Is Brother Shen very powerful?" As a new student, he had never heard Shen Xiaoyao’s name before.

"Of course he’s powerful! Brother Shen is a top-tier genius. Even though he’s only eighteen, he’s already a Three-Star Martial General. His future is limitless."

He’s that powerful? Wu Ming was shocked to hear this.

Shen Xiaoyao charged forward. Wielding his blade alone, he swept across heaven and earth, causing the Demon Beasts to crumble. The crisis that had put the Heavenly Dao Academy Disciples in grave peril was resolved in moments.

"Mere Demon Beasts. Utterly pathetic," Shen Xiaoyao said disdainfully. His gaze then shifted to the forest in the distance as he said coldly, "Fiends of the Demon Sect, show yourselves and fight me!"

From within the forest, the sound of a flute echoed once more, and a man in a black robe stepped out. The man was handsome, but his eyes held a demonic glint. After emerging from the woods, he looked at Shen Xiaoyao and said with a smile, "I’ve long heard the name of Shen Xiaoyao, the ’Unfettered Blade.’ Seeing you in person, you truly are extraordinary. I am Wei Wuya, and I’ve come to test your skills."

"Wei Wuya... so you’re the prodigy of the Demon Sect, Wei Wuya!" Shen Xiaoyao snorted coldly. "Prepare to die. Killing you will get me the Celestial Spirit Fruit."

With a roar, Shen Xiaoyao swung his blade at Wei Wuya.

Wei Wuya’s figure flickered as he dodged swiftly, simultaneously raising the flute to his lips once more. "Allow me to let you experience the Celestial Demon’s Tune."

As he spoke, the melody from his flute changed, and a mysterious Demon Sound emerged. As soon as they heard it, many of the Heavenly Dao Academy Disciples felt dizzy and nearly fainted.

"This is bad!" Their faces paled, and they quickly covered their ears. Even so, some couldn’t bear it and collapsed. Seeing this, the surrounding Demon Beasts charged forward in a renewed frenzy.

"You’re courting death!" Shen Xiaoyao roared in anger upon seeing this. He quickly charged toward Wei Wuya to stop him from playing the Celestial Demon’s Tune.

Wei Wuya sneered, his figure flickering as he retreated into the forest. Shen Xiaoyao gave chase, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the trees. The others could only fend off the Demon Beasts once more. They weren’t qualified to fight a prodigy of the Demon Sect; just holding off the beasts’ attacks was a difficult enough task.

Of course, there was one exception: Lin Xuan. He had been overjoyed to see the Demon Sect prodigy appear. He, too, quietly slipped into the forest, following them.

Not long after entering, he heard the sounds of combat.

Up ahead, Shen Xiaoyao and Wei Wuya were already locked in a fierce battle. Shen Xiaoyao wielded his Battle Blade with fierce and sharp light. His slashes were as quick as lightning. One strike after another, like a storm of lightning dancing through the sky, rained down upon Wei Wuya.

At first, Wei Wuya did nothing but dodge while playing his flute, using the Demon Sound to try and affect Shen Xiaoyao. His melody could have a fatal impact on Martial Generals, capable of driving them mad or even causing their minds to collapse.

But soon, Wei Wuya frowned. He realized that Shen Xiaoyao seemed completely unaffected. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Shen Xiaoyao sneered disdainfully. "It’s useless. I cultivate the Thunder Sword Technique. Not only does it make my blade light fierce, but it also hones my willpower. Your Demon Sound can’t affect me at all."

After speaking, he attacked again. His blade light grew even more ferocious, and his speed increased. Wei Wuya was forced into retreat. He snorted coldly, put away his flute, and drew a Soft Sword from his waist to counterattack. The sword was pitch-black and incredibly nimble, striking out like a venomous black snake.

The clash of blade and sword created an earth-shaking roar. The surrounding trees were sliced in half, crashing to the ground with thunderous booms. The path of their fierce battle was a scene of utter destruction.

Hidden in the shadows, Lin Xuan watched the fight, his own shock growing.

The combat power of a Three-Star Martial General is truly terrifying! I wonder who will ultimately win between these two.

He kept his eyes glued to the battlefield, searching for a chance to intervene, but a suitable opportunity had yet to present itself. The battle in front of him grew more and more intense. After more than a hundred exchanges, they were both truly enraged.

"Thunder Annihilation Slash!" Shen Xiaoyao roared. Gripping his blade with both hands, he brought it down in a powerful arc, unleashing nine slashes in quick succession. The nine streams of blade light merged into a single, massive blade glint that sliced fiercely forward.

Wei Wuya’s Soft Sword was sent flying, its blade now covered in nicks. Wei Wuya himself stumbled back more than a dozen steps before he could stop, his face instantly turning pale. In a head-on confrontation, he was no match for his opponent.

"Hmph. Pathetic," Shen Xiaoyao sneered, raising his blade to attack again. He began to press his advantage, overwhelming Wei Wuya.

But Wei Wuya’s Body Technique was exceptionally strange. Although he was being suppressed, he was not yet defeated. Of course, if things continued like this, his defeat was only a matter of time.

However, Wei Wuya showed no signs of panic. He continued to dodge, weaving around the area, which made Lin Xuan frown.

This doesn’t make sense. From the looks of it, Wei Wuya has been thoroughly defeated. Logically, he should be trying to escape. Why isn’t he running?

Just as he was thinking this, Shen Xiaoyao shouted coldly from the front, "Take my strongest slash!"

Clearly, he intended to end the battle with a single strike. He raised the long blade over his head, gathering all the power in his body. Just as the power of the slash was about to erupt, Shen Xiaoyao’s body suddenly shuddered, and he collapsed to the ground. The long blade in his hand fell with a loud CLANG.

What’s going on? Lin Xuan was stunned when he saw this.

Wei Wuya, however, burst into laughter. "It seems my poison has finally taken effect."

He sneered as he walked toward Shen Xiaoyao. Upon reaching him, he kicked the fallen blade away. Planting a foot on Shen Xiaoyao’s chest, he said, "You thought you could kill me? Dream on!"

"Get off me!" Shen Xiaoyao roared, trying to struggle to his feet. But at this moment, his body was weak and limp, completely unable to muster any Spiritual Power. Not only that, but he felt dizzy, on the verge of fainting.

He gritted his teeth and spat, "You... you poisoned me! Despicable!"

"HAHAHA!" Wei Wuya laughed, tilting his head to the sky. "I’m from the Demon Sect! So what if I’m despicable? You might not be despicable, but so what? You were still defeated by me."

"Our Demon Sect has a mission as well: kill the geniuses of the Heavenly Dao Academy to obtain the Demon Spirit Flower. With that, I can enhance my Magic Power. Now, just go to hell!"

Wei Wuya raised his palm, preparing to eliminate Shen Xiaoyao with a single strike. Shen Xiaoyao was filled with despair. He couldn’t believe he was going to die here. He was so unwilling!

Just as the palm was about to fall and end Shen Xiaoyao’s life, a cold voice shouted from nearby.

"Stop!"

A figure then stepped out from the shadows. This figure was, of course, Lin Xuan. He had seen his opportunity and was now ready to make his move.
