Chapter 279 - Second Strand of Dragon Aura

As the trio launched their combined attack, it resembled a thunderstorm hurtling towards Liu Wuxie. The formidable shockwave sent rocks scattering in all directions, creating a dramatic spectacle.

Meanwhile, the other representatives stood on the sidelines, biding their time and waiting for the opportune moment to strike once the dragon aura was drawn out from Liu Wuxie.

“Garbage!” Liu Wuxie scoffed, brandishing the Heretic Blade and effectively blocking the path of the incoming trio. His simple blade swing had a profound impact, drastically altering the expressions of the Fire Rock Dynasty trio.

The trio lost control of their bodies and headed towards the Heretic Blade as though everything had been calculated in advance.

Liu Wuxie’s attack could only be described as brilliant. Three heads flew into the sky in the next second, dyeing the surrounding ground red.

Three lives were taken with one strike. Those gathered in the surroundings thought there would be an intense fight, and they didn’t expect a one-sided massacre.

Liu Wuxie had to end the battle quickly because people were heading in his direction. After all, news must’ve spread within tens of thousands of miles about the appearance of the dragon aura.

After dispatching the three adversaries, Liu Wuxie cast a sweeping glance over the crowd gathered around. His gaze was so intense that everyone trembled upon meeting his eyes, and they didn’t dare to look at him directly. This was because Liu Wuxie’s eyes were too terrifying, and they couldn’t describe their feelings. It felt as though Liu Wuxie’s eyes could pierce into their souls.

Seeing that none of these people dared to make a move, Liu Wuxie vanished and headed to another region.

The envoys sitting on the stone monuments had disbelief on their faces, aside from Fan Lin.

“There’s something unusual about this kid for him to kill three people with one strike.” The Divine Sun Palace’s Jiang Kaicheng had a hint of surprise on his face. But that was all because it was nothing too shocking.

It wasn’t uncommon to see someone challenging another with higher cultivation in the cultivation world, and it wasn’t tough for Liu Wuxie to kill someone who was only half a level above him. It could be accomplished by anyone who practiced a powerful martial technique.

“Don’t you all feel that his blade technique is strong?” The Sky Rift Valley’s Luo Chudie spoke in a soft voice. Among the ten major sects, the Misty Sect and Sky Rift Valley only recruited female disciples, while the other eight mainly consisted of male disciples.

Challenging someone with higher cultivation wasn't difficult, but what perplexed them was their inability to find any flaw in Liu Wuxie's blade technique. If they were the ones facing Liu Wuxie's technique, their only recourse would be to leverage their advantage to counter it forcefully. Yet, they couldn't overcome Liu Wuxie's blade technique, which relied on martial skill.

“What’s the use of having a powerful martial technique? It doesn’t change that he’s only in the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Let’s discuss it again if he survives for seven days!” The Demonic Heart Palace’s Xiang Rongjun sneered because the cultivation realm mattered the most.

Liu Wuxie couldn’t enter the cultivation world without reaching the True Core Realm. That was the reality.

“Don’t belittle him. He’s not simple!” Yu Tianyi said, and the other nine turned their heads over.

After all, Yu Tianyi was the strongest among the ten envoys with one step into the Heavenly Phase Realm. Not only was he strong, but he was also a talented disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sect.

“Senior Brother Yu, why don’t you tell us how special he is?” The Azure Crimson Gate’s Guo Hanfei was somewhat unconvinced. After all, he had just mocked Liu Wuxie earlier, and Yu Tianyi’s words were no different from a slap on his face.

“Let’s just keep watching!” Yu Tianyi ignored Guo Hanfei and continued to look at the Dragon Battlefield.

Guo Hanfei’s face turned red after being ignored, making him feel awkward.

Not long after Liu Wuxie left, thirty-odd people descended. They were one step too late because Liu Wuxie had already left. Even cultivators in the True Core Realm might be slower than him.

“Who killed the representatives of my Fire Rock Dynasty?!” A terrifying True Core Realm aura swept out. The Fire Rock Dynasty was an intermediate-grade nation with over twenty-odd people participating in the Battle of the Hundred Nations. It was natural for them to become furious after losing three people in the first two hours.

Liu Wuxie’s arm went numb from the impact, which was a sign that his opponent wasn’t ordinary.

Seizing the opportunity when Liu Wuxie was held up, a group of seven arrived, forming a triangular formation and trapping Liu Wuxie inside. This group had two experts in the True Core Realm, while the remaining five were in the Quasi-True Core Realm.

This was a terrifying team, and even ordinary cultivators in the True Core Realm would be helpless against so many experts.

“Brat, my name is Wu Kang from the Azure Lion Empire. I’ll not beat around the bush; hand over your dragon aura!” Wu Kang was direct, skipping the unnecessary chatter, and demanded Liu Wuxie to hand over the dragon aura.

Liu Wuxie frowned because he didn’t expect to run into the Azure Lion Empire. Fan Zhen had reminded him not to provoke anyone from the empire because their forces were too powerful. They even had cultivators in the third-level True Core Realm. Most importantly, the empires had formed a connection with the cultivation world, supplying a steady flow of geniuses to the various sects annually. They were on a whole new level compared to the low-grade nations.

“Not bad! You have two strands of dragon aura. We can split them between our two empires!” The other True Core Realm cultivator from the other empire said excitedly.

The seven had been searching for dragon auras for half a day without any luck. They were initially worried that they might have to fight among each other for the strand of dragon aura. However, the two golden halos behind Liu Wuxie signified that he had two strands of dragon aura.

“What if I refuse?” Liu Wuxie remained vigilant. Handing over his dragon auras was out of the question because he had already refined them, and he couldn’t expose the secret of the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron. He knew better than anyone about the principle that it was guilty for the weak to possess a treasure.

“You refuse?” Wu Kang sneered, “I’m afraid you don’t have a choice!”

Without any hesitation, Wu Kang swung his sword at Liu Wuxie, and his attack was stronger than before. He didn’t hesitate to act, and it was clear that these people were undoubtedly ruthless.

Then again, Wu Kang wanted to obtain the dragon auras quickly in case more people came. If that happens, the odds of them obtaining the dragon auras would decrease.

Since Liu Wuxie couldn’t evade, he had no choice but to fight back. Raising the Heretic Blade, a terrifying blade intent permeated the sky.

The battle here instantly attracted the attention of the ten envoys. Although multiple battles were ongoing in the Dragon Battlefield, they paid attention to Liu Wuxie because of what Yu Tianyi had said. They wanted to see what was so special about Liu Wuxie.

After all, even a garbage like Fan Lin was optimistic about Liu Wuxie, and this was baffling.

“What is that kid thinking? Is he going to fight someone in the True Core Realm?” Song Junbao sneered.

The difference between the Marrow Cleansing Realm and the True Core Realm might not seem significant, but it was a gulf like the distance between heaven and earth.

Upon reaching the True Core Realm, one's divine bridge was cleared, and one could utilize divine power. A cultivator in the Marrow Cleansing Realm was merely an ordinary martial artist.

“There’s a show to watch now!” Xiang Rongjun sneered. The more intense the fight, the more excited he became. After all, the Demonic Heart Palace focused on slaughtering, and their disciples naturally liked killing.

When Wu Kang’s sword cleaved down, Liu Wuxie took the attack head-on and managed to hold his ground. But the surrounding trees were devastated and vanished, leaving behind an open space.

Wu Kang and Liu Wuxie were evenly matched in their fight, which surprised the former. After all, Wu Kang was in the True Core Realm and was confident that he could easily kill someone in the ninth-level Marrow Cleansing Realm. Realizing that Liu Wuxie could hold his ground against him, Wu Kang wore a hint of graveness.

The six people in the surroundings narrowed their eyes at this sight.

“Wu Kang, I didn’t expect you to be so weak that you can’t even kill someone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.” The other cultivator in the True Core Realm mocked, thinking that Wu Kang held back in the fight.

“Lian Yuanzhou, shut your mouth!” Wu Kang roared with displeasure on his face.
