Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 338 - 14: Lin Family’s Downfall, Comprehending Sword Skills

Chapter 338: Chapter 14: Lin Family’s Downfall, Comprehending Sword Skills

Luo Cheng executed Mist Shadow Step, speeding along, his figure resembling a ghost in the night!

As dawn broke, a square-shaped town appeared in Luo Cheng’s view.

Yellow Stone Town, located eight hundred miles southwest of Qishan City, was close to the Black Cloud Mountain Range, abundant in resources, and extremely wealthy!

After the Lin Family’s defeat at the Hunting Festival, they migrated to Yellow Stone Town to develop.

This time returning home, Yellow Stone Town was a place Luo Cheng had to visit.

Initially, his plan was merely to intimidate the Lin Family.

But he hadn’t expected them to seek their own doom!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng entered the town.

The hour was still early, and only a few merchants were preparing for the morning market on the town streets.

Luo Cheng approached an elderly man and asked, "Old sir, how do I get to the Lin Family?"

The elder, seeing Luo Cheng dressed in a blue robe and carrying a treasure sword at his waist, with an extraordinary aura, respectfully replied, "Young hero, are you returning to visit family? May I ask which Lin Family you’re referring to?"

"The Lin Family that migrated from Qishan City!"

Upon hearing this, the elder’s expression changed drastically. After pausing for a moment, he sighed:

"If you’re looking for that Lin Family, I’m afraid you won’t find them anymore."

Luo Cheng’s eyebrows furrowed, "What happened?"

The elder then began recounting the events of the past few days in detail.

It turned out that on the day of the battle, the news of Lin Canglang and others’ deaths had already reached Yellow Stone Town.

The Lin Family descended into chaos!

The remaining Lin Family members, like startled birds, conferred to leave the Great Yue Dynasty overnight!

Unexpectedly, the guards within the Lin Family estate suddenly rebelled and slaughtered all the remaining Lin Family members!

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng paused for a moment, "Why would they do that?"

Hehe!

The elder, seeing that Luo Cheng was not from the Lin Family, let out a cold chuckle and said:

"Young hero, you may not know, but half a month ago, a strange man arrived at the Lin Family. Since then, women from Yellow Stone Town began mysteriously disappearing, including over twenty maidservants from the Lin Family estate. It was rumored that they were all used by the Lin Family Head Lin Canglang to cultivate his evil techniques!"

"Many of those maidservants were deeply connected to the guards of the Lin estate. In the past, with masters like Lin Canglang suppressing everything, there were no problems."

"This time, with Lin Canglang and the Lin Family’s experts dying in Qishan City, the guards rallied together, slaughtered every last Lin Family member, and burned down the mansion! The fire blazed for three days and nights before it was extinguished. Look, that’s the spot in the town center."

Luo Cheng nodded, tossing a silver coin to the elder.

"Young hero, this... this is too much..."

The elder stared at the silver coin in a daze.

Luo Cheng waved his hand and disappeared into the street.

The town center had once housed the largest estate in all of Yellow Stone Town—the Lin Family residence.

Now, only rubble and ruins remained.

Everywhere lay scorched bones, presenting a tragic sight!

"Those who act wickedly will meet their demise..."

Gazing at the ruins before him, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

He had originally intended to question the Lin Family members about the origins of the man in black.

But now, that plan had to be abandoned!

Leaving Yellow Stone Town, Luo Cheng did not return to Qishan City but instead headed to the uninhabited Black Cloud Mountain Range.

Soon, Luo Cheng found a patch of flatland near a mountain and water’s edge at the outskirts of the Black Cloud Mountain Range.

"This is a good spot!"

Luo Cheng was obviously not here for leisure.

With more than half a month remaining until the second day of February,

He planned to undergo closed-door training here in order to break through the Divine Bridge!

Sitting cross-legged, Luo Cheng closed his eyes.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, a golden lake rippled with brilliance, the center of the lake bubbling forth.

The Essence Energy Spiritual Light seemed like lotus seeds lying dormant in the lake, quietly awaiting the moment to sprout and break the surface!

Luo Cheng’s consciousness descended, focusing on the blood drop within his Dantian!

Brilliant and dazzling, the blood drop radiated an exceptionally intense wave of vitality!

"Should I use it?"

After deliberating for a moment, Luo Cheng ultimately abandoned the thought of utilizing the blood drop.

It was too domineering, and the sheer potency of its emanating vitality gave him a sense of dread!

Luo Cheng worried about being unable to endure it; such usage might result in undesired consequences, even causing him harm and making the effort futile.

"Forget it, I’ll wait until I’ve achieved the Divine Bridge! I’ll use the Soul Crystal for now!"

After steadying his mind, Luo Cheng consumed an Awakening God Pill and retrieved a wooden box from his storage ring.

The box was filled with over twenty Three-star Soul Crystals!

Roar! novelbuddy.cσ๓

Illusory Dragon Energy danced in the air, beginning to devour the Beast Souls within the Soul Crystals!

With his skyrocketing Soul Power, Luo Cheng’s speed at consuming and refining the Soul Crystals accelerated greatly.

In just three hours, Luo Cheng had completely refined one Three-star Soul Crystal.

Day by day passed.

As the last Soul Crystal in the box was used up, the Essence Energy Spiritual Light within Luo Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness became ever more radiant, surrounded by countless egg-sized bubbles. The bubbling lake shimmered with golden hues and resembled a volcano ready to erupt!

"At this rate, within three days, the Essence Energy Spiritual Light will break through the Sea of Consciousness!"

Luo Cheng’s voice carried a hint of joy, tinged with surprise.

Chen Lingyu had once mentioned that transitioning from the Tongxuan Realm’s Third Layer Peak to the breaking of the Sea of Consciousness took her three to four months.

Luo Cheng, however, had accomplished this in just three to four days, already witnessing signs of breakthrough!

"Of course! The Third Layer of Tongxuan Realm opens Heavenly Gates and nurtures the Divine Soul! By devouring Martial Soul Beast Souls for cultivation, my Soul Power has grown immensely, far exceeding others in the same level. With strong foundations, my progress is naturally swift!"

Quickly grasping the concept, Luo Cheng exclaimed in delight, "If this continues, I’ll likely achieve Divine Bridge before the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition!"

Once he achieved Divine Bridge, he could utilize his Martial Soul to enhance his combat strength, further skyrocketing his power!

With his heart set at ease, Luo Cheng rose to his feet.

After continuous effort in closed-door training, both his body and spirit felt somewhat fatigued. Continuing would only yield diminishing returns, so he decided to rest for a while.

He hunted down a One-star Demon Beast in the woods, roasted it briefly, and ate it with relish.

As a Tongxuan Realm martial artist, taking Essence Energy Pills allowed him to go long periods without eating or drinking.

But the craving for taste could never be satiated by Essence Energy Pills.

After feasting, Luo Cheng drew his Flame Trace Sword, ready to practice his swordsmanship.

With his breakthrough to the Human Sword Integration Middle-stage in the Sword Dao Realm,

he had gained many new insights into the Heavenly Fall Four Forms!

Now was the perfect time to refine them.

"Wind Stopping!"

Swoosh!

As the sword struck, the air thickened, becoming as viscous as water.

This was merely an optical illusion caused by the sheer speed of the blade!

Following the first move, Luo Cheng unleashed another right away.

Swish!

The blade trembled, releasing waves of sword qi like clouds cascading down a peak!

"Cloud Stabilization!"

"Electric Passage!"

"Thunder Sound!"

Luo Cheng chained one sword strike after another, the tempo of his sword skills accelerating!

Eventually, he lost track of time and space, forgetting himself entirely—with only the sword in his mind! He entered a mystical state of enlightenment!

Shhhhhh...

As the sword danced, the final moves became impossible to discern.

All that could be seen was a sky filled with sword light, surging like storms, flashing with lightning and thunder!

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Cheng tapped the ground lightly with his feet, rising effortlessly in the air like a cloud, and brought down the Flame Trace Sword in one seamless motion, devoid of worldly impurities.

Sword Qi surged forth, transforming into a massive Sword Qi Tornado that roared into the dense forest.

Boom!

The earth trembled, and shattered wood filled the air.

When Luo Cheng regained awareness, he found a straight path through the dense forest before him, more than ten meters wide and stretching a hundred meters long. Everything along the way was completely destroyed!
