“Use it!”
There was no way Su Bai could resist.
This Divine-grade bloodline would instantly enhance his physical body. Even with his current strength at the 3rd stage Qi Refining Realm, he would possess the might of 5,000 kilograms.
Such a terrifying boost was simply shocking.
But what mattered more was that after gaining the Golden Dragon bloodline, he could now exert a natural suppression over dragon-blooded demonic beasts.
This ability was even more fearsome than the physical power itself.
No one around sensed any change in Su Bai, but the Horse King unconsciously stepped back two paces, widening the distance.
Because this Horse King possessed flood dragon blood, and the Golden Dragon bloodline was far superior. Not to mention, the Horse King only had a partial flood dragon bloodline.
As the two genius disciples prepared to fight, no one paid attention to a horse-leading elderly outer sect disciple.
At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, nothing was more important than this duel.
Murong Mingzhu stepped forward, her golden magical robe enhancing her cold and elegant aura.
That twin-headed golden python followed with a menacing crawl, both large snake heads towering high, jaws open to reveal rows of razor-sharp fangs.
Yet Lin Xiaoyue showed no fear—she didn’t even look at the beast directly.
Her eyes were locked solely on Murong Mingzhu.
She could feel that this woman was far more dangerous than the demonic beast.
Most beast tamers relied on their beasts’ power, but Murong Mingzhu was different.
This woman possessed terrifying divine powers even more formidable than her beast!
“Golden Lotus Bloom!”
Knowing her opponent couldn’t be underestimated, Murong Mingzhu unleashed her signature technique from the start.
With a swift hand seal, golden ripples surged from her palms and condensed mid-air into a golden lotus.
At the same time, the twin-headed golden python lunged toward Lin Xiaoyue with perfect coordination.
Empowered by its dragon bloodline, the beast no longer slithered on the ground. Instead, it glided through the air with wind manipulation—swift as lightning!
Lin Xiaoyue’s gaze turned colder. She knew this snake was merely a distraction. If that golden lotus fully formed, its power would likely be overwhelming.
“Fine. Today, I’ll show you the true might of the Fire Phoenix Sword Technique!”
Her longsword pointed to the sky, and a crimson flame suddenly ignited along the blade.
Behind her, a massive illusory beast appeared—a ferocious-looking fire phoenix.
“She can manifest a fire phoenix phantom with just sword Qi? That means she’s mastered the sword technique to perfection!”
“To think our Azure Cloud Sect could nurture such a disciple—it’s a blessing to our sect!”
“At this rate, it won’t be long before we see a Golden Core Realm cultivator from our sect.”
The Azure Cloud Sect disciples were inflamed with admiration.
In the cultivation world, strength was revered.
Lin Xiaoyue was their peer—perhaps even younger—yet her cultivation level was so terrifying it left them in awe.
“Slash!”
With a single strike, Lin Xiaoyue’s crimson sword Qi, searing hot, shot toward Murong Mingzhu.
But Murong Mingzhu remained calm, as if prepared.
Golden lights shimmered from her long robe, gradually rising and weaving into a golden lotus leaf above her head.
“That’s the Golden Robe of Protection—the king of mid-grade magic artifacts!”
An elder cried out in disbelief. This treasure had only appeared in legends—many even believed it didn’t exist.
A mid-grade artifact with defensive power rivaling a top-grade artifact!
“Lin Xiaoyue’s strength might be equal to Murong Mingzhu’s, but she’s clearly at a disadvantage in terms of equipment.”
“It’s a pity. To see our Azure Cloud Sect’s genius lose this way…”
Even many of the sect’s disciples and elders began to feel anxious.
But Lin Xiaoyue wasn’t one to flinch.
So what if the other party’s equipment was powerful?
If she didn’t even have the courage to fight, what right did she have to wield a sword?
“Kill!”
She leapt into the air and charged toward the golden lotus.
The crimson sword Qi was stopped by the golden lotus leaf.
Meanwhile, Murong Mingzhu’s incantation rang out like thunder, and the golden lotus in the sky finally bloomed.
A terrifying pressure crashed down, aiming to suppress Lin Xiaoyue completely.
“Damn it!”
Lin Xiaoyue nearly spat blood.
This golden lotus weighed like a mountain. Find the original chapter at g.com.
Though her sword technique was superior, her defense was lacking in comparison.
Just then, she heard laughter. Turning her head, she saw Su Bai’s annoying old face.
“That old bastard! Not only is he not helping, he dares to laugh at me?!”
Suddenly, her heart jolted. She remembered what Su Bai had told her earlier—that if she couldn’t win, she could ask for his help.
And she was not the only one who was angry now.
Everyone from the Azure Cloud Sect was furious.
Even the elders of Spirit Sword Peak were displeased.
At a moment of life and death, this outer sect old man was laughing?
If this were the military, that would be considered shaking morale—a capital offense!
Only Elder Yu Jian gave a helpless smile.
Others didn’t know, but he knew just how many treasures this old man had.
Even his own storage pouch had been extorted by Su Bai.
This old man had plenty of good stuff—even a True Divine Flame Talisman.
It wouldn’t surprise him at all if Su Bai pulled out a top-grade artifact next.
“Damn… do I really need to ask for his help?”
Lin Xiaoyue was extremely proud.
As the Sword Dao genius of the sect, when had she ever bowed her head to anyone?
Even when she asked Su Bai for the complete Fire Phoenix Sword Technique, she had traded treasures for it—never begged.
To ask for help in public? That was something her pride wouldn’t allow.
But now, with the golden lotus pressing down and the ground beneath her feet caving into a deep crater…
Her bones creaked. Any longer, and they’d be crushed.
At that point, pride meant little.
“Su… Old Su, help me!”
She shouted, her beautiful face flushing bright red—like a tomato ready to burst.
“I shit—you caught me without my storage pouch! Give me a sec, I’ll go back and get it!”
In the crowd, Su Bai yelled loudly.
