Seeking the Flying Sword Path - Page 307/650

Black Dragon scanned the hall and saw the remnants of dismantled spots, places like where the stone ax was previously located. The remaining area was empty. Despite being more conspicuous, the stone wall with the palm arts did not warrant a second look at first glance.

“Qin Yun, are you alone in here?” Black Dragon sized up Qin Yun as he spoke.

“Palatial Lord Black Dragon, what a coincidence.” Qin Yun looked at the elder with the dragon head as his eyes lit up. “I didn’t seek you out but here you are.”

“Hmph!”

Black Dragon’s expression sank.

By his side, Yellow Surge could not help but bellow, “What impudence! How dare you be this disrespectful in front of my grandfather?”

“Flood Dragon Palace’s eldest prince, Yellow Surge.” Qin Yun nodded. “I’ve heard about you. The two sons of Dragon Queen are bloodthirsty and intractable. They have wreaked much havoc. Now, you are even scheming against your own father?”

“It wouldn’t be necessary if that old fool gave me the Yellow Wyrm Grotto-heaven without a fuss,” said Yellow Surge angrily. “He refused to give it to me and now that young fish demoness is claiming it for her own. She is even undergoing the Bloodline Baptism. He deserves to die!”

However, Black Dragon said, “Alright. Surge, put the matter aside for the time being.”

Yellow Surge held back as he stared at Qin Yun unhappily.

From his point of view, he would have been able to enter the heart and undergo a Bloodline Baptism if not for Qin Yun bringing the little fish demoness here. He would be on the path to a limitless future.

“Qin Yun.” Black Dragon looked at Qin Yun and asked him casually. “Let me ask you this: Have you seen Fiend Sovereign Jadeface?”

“I have.” Qin Yun nodded.

“Where is he?” Black Dragon pressed. Jadeface was his only match!

“Do you really want to know?” Qin Yun looked at him with an odd glint in his eyes.

Black Dragon nodded.

It had been a day. Although the Yellow Wyrm corpse was structured like a maze, it was still finite in size. He felt uneasy that they had not met again.

“Before answering you, let me ask you a question,” said Qin Yun. “Do you know of the death of the little fish demoness’s adopted father?”

“I’ve heard of your good friend.” Black Dragon nodded slightly. “You should know that I was planning to rid Flood Dragon King of all his illegitimate children. I unknowingly implicated your friend.”

“Unknowingly implicated? You make it sound rather inconsequential.” Qin Yun sneered. “Did those illegitimate children commit any crime? Did my brother, Scholar, commit any wrongdoing? They were all killed solely because of your ambition.”

“Yes, I understand.” Black Dragon gave a perfunctory nod and said. “Let’s talk about this another time. Let me ask you this now. You said that you have seen Jadeface. Do you know where he is?”

Black Dragon was turning a little impatient.

It was just the death of a mere ant.

By asking so politely, he was already honoring this peerless human sword immortal.

“Scholar,” said Qin Yun softly. “It’s been seven years. You have been dead for seven years but today, finally, I can truly avenge you.”

He had already killed the lesser demons that had done the deed!

The mastermind behind all of this was Black Dragon. Even Dragon Queen, who was the one that officially gave the order, had done so under Black Dragon’s instruction! She completed the tasks obediently and married Flood Dragon King as well as sent the hunters. In the end, she was only a pawn of the true mastermind, Black Dragon.

“Truly avenge?” Black Dragon was somewhat taken aback.

“Go.”

Qin Yun waved his hand.

Whoosh.

The three black bangles on his left wrist flew out immediately. As they flew out, they rapidly expanded upon contact with the wind. The black bangles had runic patterns running through them as a terrifying surge of power enveloped the distant Black Dragon.

“Not good!” Black Dragon instantly sensed an invisible force envelop him. It began influencing his Dharmic powers negatively. The three bangles’ might threatened him greatly.

“Roar——!”

Black Dragon instantly revealed his true form, a massive black dragon. His body even stretched to the walls of the hall, causing it to crumble. He instantly spewed a surge of purplish-black flames! They obstreperously caused wanton destruction.

However, the three black bangles became even bigger as they stacked themselves in the air before enveloping the area below.

They appeared like a massive world that could blanket everything.

Black Dragon’s Annihilation Devouring Toxic Flame was famous for its ferocious oppressiveness, but it was completely trapped by the Cosmic Bangles. It was reduced to a corner where it could not cause much destruction.

“Suppress!” yelled Qin Yun.

The three gigantic black Cosmic Bangles descended and contracted.

The Annihilation Devouring Toxic Flame was simultaneously contracting with the bangles. As for the black dragon, it too was shrinking.

“How is this possible?” Black Dragon found it unbelievable. He frantically struggled, striking his surroundings with his demonic dragon form’s sharp claws and tail. Unfortunately for him, there was an invisible spatial cage around him that remained impregnable to his attacks. Under Qin Yun’s control, the three Cosmic Bangles continued contracting slowly.

“Grandfather! Grandfather!” Yellow Surge panicked.

“It’s impossible. What Dharma treasure is it? Why is it so powerful?” Black Dragon looked at the three black Cosmic Bangles that were closing in on him slowly like a cage. He could not help but panic as he looked at the distant Qin Yun. “Even if it’s a Numinous treasure, it’s impossible that Qin Yun has the strength to suppress me.”

Qin Yun looked at him.

When his Sword Dao and the Cosmic Bangles harmonized perfectly, the might produced by the Cosmic Bangles was extraordinarily powerful.

“Don’t bother struggling,” said Qin Yun.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!” Black Dragon continued struggling with all his might, but the Cosmic Bangles continued contracting slowly. It left him in greater despair as he finally came to terms with reality. He understood that it was impossible for him to escape with his own strength.

He looked at Qin Yun and gave a deep growl. “Sword Immortal Qin, the world at large has the wrong image of you. They say that you are a sword immortal that has only stepped into an ordinary Dao! What a joke! Your strength is even more terrifying than that Elder Sword whom I met back in my day! Despite being a sword immortal, you haven’t even used a flying sword. Just this bangle Dharma treasure is enough to suppress me.”

“I admit defeat.” Black Dragon had an anxious look. “Sword Immortal Qin, please spare me. I will fulfill anything you ask of me.”

“Suppress.” Qin Yun continued controlling the Cosmic Bangles with all he had.

This was the first time he was dealing with an enemy with all his strength through the Cosmic Bangles.

If an enemy was sufficiently strong, the Cosmic Bangles might not be capable of suppressing them. But now, Black Dragon’s resistance clearly failed to reach that level.

“Whoosh~” A mighty force distorted from the Cosmic Bangle’s interior.

“Ah!”

The distorting blast swept past Yellow Surge!

At that moment, Black Dragon was unable to divert his attention to protect Yellow Surge. It caused Yellow Surge to scream, “Grandfather!” Instantly, he perished from the blast, transforming into a flood dragon corpse. Then the body was rapidly ground to dust by the distortions! As the suppressive effect of the Cosmic Bangles was too terrifying, Yellow Surge’s body was completely incapable of putting up a resistance.

“Spare me! Please spare my life. I’m a flood dragon. It’s not easy to condense an Essence Soul.” Black Dragon had a pleading look in his eyes. “Sword Immortal Qin, please offer me a way out of this! Spare my life!”

However, Qin Yun did not speak a word.

Instead, the Cosmic Bangles continued suppressing and contracting, forcing the black dragon to contract as well.

“No——!”

“No——!”

Black Dragon was horrified.

Finally, at the instant the three black Cosmic Bangles latched onto him, all the Dharmic powers in his flood dragon body were sealed. He was unable to draw from them anymore and, with a bam, he fell to the ground of the Treasure Repository.

“The Cosmic Bangles are rather strong. I managed to take down Black Dragon solely by using them,” thought Qin Yun. There were sweat beads on his forehead. “It was just a little tiring. It also took me quite some time.” If he had used his Intrinsic Flying Sword, it would have taken two to three strikes to defeat Black Dragon. However, he also wanted to test the Cosmic Bangles’ strength. If the other three Cosmic Bangles were obtained, their might would increase once again as a complete set.

“Sword Immortal Qin! Sword Immortal Qin!” Black Dragon, who was fully sealed by the Cosmic Bangles, pleaded.

However, Qin Yun went forward and, with a wave of his hand, sent out a wisp of Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi bored through Black Dragon’s body, striking his Essence Soul directly.

“What are you doing?” Black Dragon was panicking.

“What do you think?” In moments, Qin Yun enervated Black Dragon’s Essence Soul. He cast another powerful Sealing Spell and sealed Black Dragon’s Essence Soul.

“Retrieve.”

Qin Yun took out the jade flask, and sucked Black Dragon’s weakened Essence Soul into the flask from a distance.

An extremely weakened black dragon Essence Soul flew out of his body and towards the jade flask as it shrank.

“Spare me!” Black Dragon’s Essence Soul was still pleading.

However, Qin Yun did not speak a word. He watched coldly as Black Dragon’s Essence Soul was sucked into the jade flask before he closed the lid.

It was cold and desolate inside the jade flask.

Jadeface’s Essence Soul was in there when he suddenly sensed an opening appear in the sealed space above him. He could not help but look up as another Essence Soul whooshed in.

“This is…” Black Dragon felt a little uneasy when he entered the unfamiliar land. He immediately probed his surroundings.

“Hey, Old Black Dragon, you came too?” A scoff was heard from the side.
