Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 384: The Snake King Yields!

When Lin Xuan said this, the entire crowd froze. The warriors of the Dragon Roar Legion were dumbfounded.

"Heavens, what did I just hear?"

"Suppress this Snake King?"

"Is this for real? Did I hear that wrong?"

"Has the Champion Marquis gone mad?"

"Marquis, I’m begging you, please stop boasting!"

"It’s over. The Marquis has grown arrogant."

Song Yan was so anxious he was practically hopping on his feet. "Marquis, I beg you, please don’t be impulsive!"

Lu Xiu exclaimed, "Marquis, run! Don’t worry about us, just hurry and go!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Chen’s vision went black, and he nearly fainted. "Marquis, I beg you, of all the times to be boasting, now is not it!"

They admitted that Lin Xuan was very strong. He had created countless miracles before, with methods that seemed to be drawn from myths and legends. He was even able to control the Black Water Serpents. But no matter how strong he was, there was no way he could defeat the Snake King before them!

Lin Xuan could control ordinary Black Water Serpents because those were only at the Martial General Realm. They threatened Grandmasters merely through a combination of their venom and overwhelming numbers. But the Black Water Snake King before them was, at the very least, a Grandmaster, and quite possibly a King.

How could Lin Xuan possibly be a match for it? If he dared to make a move, he would likely be killed in an instant.

"Little ant, what did you say? You want to suppress me?" In the pool ahead, the giant serpent’s head let out a cold snort. It could actually speak, and its voice was so thunderous it made the entire cave tremble.

"It can talk!" Elder Chen’s expression changed dramatically. This meant it possessed high intelligence, making it an exceedingly clever Great Demon! A demon beast of this kind was even more terrifying.

Even Lin Xuan was a bit stunned. "So you can talk. Then you must be wise enough to understand my words.

"Listen well. Surrender to me now, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what comes next."

Lin Xuan’s words were astonishing.

Song Yan’s face fell. This was bad!

Lu Xiu was on the verge of tears. "Marquis, stop boasting! Please, just stop!"

Darkness swam before Elder Chen’s eyes; he almost fainted from the shock. It was over. The Marquis was actively provoking the Snake King! He was enraging it! If the Snake King were to retaliate, the outcome would be beyond tragic. They were doomed. There was no hope. The Marquis was far too arrogant.

"What did you say?" As expected, the Snake King was enraged. It snorted coldly, its icy eyes locking onto Lin Xuan as it let out a roar.

Suddenly, a vast wave of frost swept forth. The ambient temperature plummeted, and ice began to coat the ground. Frost started to creep over everyone’s bodies, threatening to freeze them solid. They all tried to resist, but they simply couldn’t withstand it.

The gap in power was just too immense. A single breath from it could kill them all.

Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire appeared, forming a sea of flames that circled around him, blocking the icy aura. The fire and ice collided, and the frost was held back.

The Snake King exclaimed, "Anomalous Fire!"

"I didn’t expect you to possess such a legendary Anomalous Fire. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. But what a pity. Even an Anomalous Fire can do nothing to me."

The Snake King’s head stretched further out of the pool, and its body began to emerge. Its form was like a black mountain range coiling in the air. The unparalleled Great Demon filled the entire cave.

Everyone retreated to the back of the cave. Before this Snake King, they were as insignificant as ants.

"And you want me to surrender? How foolish. Kid, die!"

The Snake King roared, this time spewing forth an even greater torrent of frost. The entire cave was instantly flash-frozen. The numerous warriors were turned into ice sculptures in an instant. Song Yan, Lu Xiu, and Elder Chen were also frozen solid.

Despair filled their eyes. It was over. They were doomed. The Marquis was doomed, too. To think that the Champion Marquis would ultimately die here. The Light of Great Xia... had he fallen just like that? What a waste.

They should never have come. If they had known a Snake King was here, they would have stopped Lin Xuan from coming down, even at the cost of their own lives. They were filled with utter regret and absolute despair, but sadly, there were no second chances. The aura of life from their bodies grew weaker and weaker. They closed their eyes, feeling themselves about to be swallowed by darkness.

Lin Xuan was enveloped by the power of the frost. He snorted coldly and took a step forward. "You dare attack me? Are you tired of living? A mere snakelet, daring to raise its head against a True Dragon?"

Lin Xuan activated the Ultimate Ten Thousand Dragon Diagram.

A monstrous dragon aura surged forth from his body as a dragon emerged. It was a colossal dragon that coiled between heaven and earth, radiating a sky-shattering might that made the very void tremble.

"What? A True Dragon!"

The Snake King, who had been so imperious just moments ago, was scared witless upon seeing the dragon shadow. It froze in place, its body beginning to tremble violently. How is this possible? How could this kid have a True Dragon inside him?

"No, that isn’t a True Dragon... it’s a Dragon Soul! Heavens, what kind of Dragon Soul is so terrifying? Damn, it’s the soul of the Cyan Dragon!"

The Snake King’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The Cyan Dragon was a peerless powerhouse among the Dragon Race, an unrivaled master. It was one of the legendary Four Divine Beasts. The power of a Cyan Dragon’s soul was terrifying beyond comprehension, and certainly not something it could ever hope to withstand.

The Cyan Dragon coiled in the air and merely glanced at the Snake King, causing its massive body to tremble uncontrollably. The great beast collapsed to the ground, prostrating itself directly at Lin Xuan’s feet.

"Spare me, Young Lord, spare me!"

In that moment, all its previous arrogance was gone, replaced by frantic pleas for mercy. If he had known this kid possessed the soul of the Cyan Dragon, he wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant even if it killed him. He wouldn’t have even dared to show himself.

"Now, do you still dare to attack me?" Lin Xuan stepped forward as the Cyan Dragon above his head let out a thunderous roar.

The black snake’s body trembled so violently it almost passed out. "I don’t dare! I will never dare again! I am willing to submit and honor you as my master! Please, spare my life!"

"I can spare you, but you must tell me what Treasure lies within the cold pool. And you will help me obtain it."

"No problem! I agree! I’ll do whatever you say!" the Snake King said quickly.

"Wouldn’t it have been simpler if you’d just done this from the start?" Lin Xuan snorted coldly and recalled the soul of the Cyan Dragon. The terrifying dragon aura vanished. Then, Lin Xuan commanded, "Release my companions."

"Understood!" The Snake King lifted its head and inhaled sharply. The pervasive frost throughout the cave was instantly drawn into its body. The ice encasing the crowd vanished in an instant.

The warriors collapsed to the ground with a series of thuds.

Song Yan opened his eyes. "Am I dead?"

Lu Xiu looked down at himself in astonishment. "Have I arrived in hell?"

Elder Chen pinched his own cheek, then suddenly jumped up in excitement. "I’m not dead! I’m actually not dead! This is wonderful!"

Unfortunately, his smile quickly vanished as he realized the Snake King was still just a short distance away, its enormous head looking down on them. This was bad. They were still in danger.

"Quick, protect the Marquis!" Elder Chen shouted, rushing to stand in front of Lin Xuan.

Song Yan and Lu Xiu also hurried over. Though they didn’t know how the ice on their bodies had melted, there was no time to dwell on it. Their priority now was to ensure Lin Xuan’s escape. Lin Xuan was the Light of Great Xia, the hope for the nation’s rise; he absolutely could not die here.

A look of grim determination appeared in the eyes of all three men.

"Marquis, you have to run! We’ll hold it off!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Marquis, don’t look back! Don’t worry about us!"

"You must remember, you are the Light of Great Xia! The future of our nation rests on your shoulders! You must get out of here alive!"

The other warriors also crawled over, pushing themselves up to stand before Lin Xuan, as if to form a human shield for him.

Lin Xuan was incredibly moved. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, all of you. But there’s no need to worry. The crisis has been resolved."

"Resolved?" Everyone was stunned.

Lu Xiu seemed to have a realization. "Marquis, did you use your Anomalous Fire to melt the ice on our bodies?"

That had to be it.

Song Yan was ecstatic. "That’s great! Marquis, since you have an Anomalous Fire, your chances of escaping are much higher!"

Lin Xuan shook his head. "Escape? Why would I escape? I don’t need to. This Snake King has already submitted to me."

"Marquis, please, stop boasting!" Song Yan was on the verge of tears from frustration.

"Marquis, I’ll get on my knees if I have to! I’m begging you, please, just run, alright?" Lu Xiu was about to prostrate himself.

Elder Chen was so angry his beard trembled. He desperately wished he could just kick Lin Xuan straight out of the cave. "At a moment of life and death, you’re still boasting! Are you trying to be the death of us?"
