"What did you realize from that earth-shattering lightning last night?" Wang Yuanxian casually asked.
Wang Long's eyes flashed with light: "The trajectory."
"Oh?" Wang Yuanxian said with curiosity, smiling, "What is different about the trajectory of lightning?"
"There are countless practitioners of lightning techniques in the world, but everyone's understanding of lightning is different. I only have a superficial understanding..."
"That's fine, go ahead and share..."
Wang Long smiled: "The fastest thing in the world is lightning, yet the trajectory of lightning is not a straight line seeking the shortest distance to strike!"
"You mean..." Wang Yuanxian seemed to understand.
"Exactly. For example, in the eyes of an ordinary person, if I were to stab you with my sword for maximum speed, I would have to thrust straight without any deviation! However, lightning does not choose this path; instead, it goes... wherever it pleases!"
Wang Long tapped his head and chuckled: "In my mind, I envisioned a trace of lightning. Last night, I was contemplating it, hoping to discover some patterns within. However, after spending half the night on it, I realized nothing at all. It was only at dawn that I suddenly understood—there are no patterns! Lightning comes as it wishes and reaches everywhere; that is the ultimate speed and trajectory!"
"Comes as it wishes and reaches everywhere..." Wang Yuanxian murmured, repeating it before laughing: "Well said! No wonder you are a descendant of the Wang family!"
Wang Long felt a stir in his heart and thought, has he finally acknowledged that he is a senior of the Dragon City Wang Family?
Wang Yuanxian chuckled: "As a reward, let me teach you a technique. Listen carefully... this technique is unmatched in power but extremely dangerous! It should only be used as a last resort; never use it lightly!"
"Is it really that powerful?! What kind of technique is it?!" Wang Long couldn't help but feel eager. The more he sensed Wang Yuanxian's depth, the more he believed that what he could teach would be profound martial arts.
"I will demonstrate it once; watch closely..."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Yuanxian suddenly transformed into the sun.
A dazzling and radiant sun appeared in the dark cave!
In an instant, the light flashed and quickly disappeared, yet it left Wang Long stunned and speechless. He understood that Wang Yuanxian was merely demonstrating the appearance of this technique, controlling its power completely within, without any leakage. However, just the momentum alone was undeniably overwhelming Martial Arts!
"Ha ha, I will share with you the principles of using this Martial Arts. As for how much you can comprehend and to what extent you can learn, that is up to you..."
In the cave, the old man and the young one seemed to forget about time as they taught and learned this mysterious technique from each other, and time slowly passed...
After hearing the principle of this technique, Wang Long felt it was not particularly profound, but there were some difficult aspects. Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out, "Over here!"
The two exchanged glances and smiled lightly as they walked out to see four figures. The one shouting at the entrance was Liu Chengyan, followed by Li Xinghe, Jiang Xue, and Zhang Tailai.
Wang Long spoke first, "Are you all alright? What about those Black Guards?"
Liu Chengyan replied proudly, "All taken care of, not a single one left..."
Li Xinghe smiled slightly, "Liu brother is so proud; have you forgotten that most of yesterday's enemies were dealt with by Jiang Xue?"
"Well... I contributed a bit too, heh heh..." Liu Chengyan blushed slightly and stole a glance at Jiang Xue, laughing to cover up.
Zhang Tailai remained indifferent and said, "Alright, since the envoy is fine, let's continue on our way. Not far ahead is the harbor where someone from Lingzhi Island will come to receive us."
With Liu Chengyan's incessant chatter, the journey became much livelier. After exchanging a few words, Wang Long learned about yesterday's events.
It turned out that without Wang Long, Liu Chengyan, Li Xinghe, and Jiang Xue each had to deal with six Black Guards. Jiang Xue managed well and handled it effortlessly; Li Xinghe could barely hold on; however, Liu Chengyan gradually became exhausted and slowly fell into difficulty.
Later, as danger loomed, Liu Chengyan felt panic in his heart but could not cry out for help, forcing himself to grit his teeth and endure. Suddenly, one of the Black Guards seized the opportunity and launched a thunderous attack aimed at Liu Chengyan's throat. In that moment, he had no way to evade and could only close his eyes, awaiting death.
Out of nowhere, Jiang Xue made her move. Her jade-like wrist suddenly formed a dazzling series of finger seals, and in an instant, the space within three feet seemed to freeze, coming to a complete standstill!
She then acted swiftly, not only dealing with the enemy who had ambushed Liu Chengyan but also killing several others who were surrounding her in an instant!
However, that mysterious barrier lasted only for three breaths before collapsing. With this, the outcome was quickly determined; the remaining black-clad figures were soon defeated. The leader of the Black Guards was entangled with Zhang Tailai and, upon seeing the situation, immediately used his techniques to escape.
Wang Yuanxian could not help but speak up: "That leader can attack or flee at will? Does that mean his skills are superior to yours?"
This was naturally directed at Zhang Tailai, who hesitated for a moment before gently nodding: "This person, whether in Dragon Techniques or in combat adaptability, is certainly not inferior to me! Although the Black Dragon Nineteen Guards are renowned, they cannot reach this level. I suspect that this so-called leader of the Black Guards is an imposter."
Wang Yuanxian nodded: "In that case, we need to be on guard at all times."
Wang Long nodded but suddenly noticed Liu Chengyan glancing at Jiang Xue from time to time, his gaze drifting and his mind somewhat hazy. He couldn't help but tease: "Hey, could it be that you were saved by beauty and have taken a liking to her?"
Liu Chengyan's face immediately turned red as if caught stealing. He stammered: "No way! I'm just grateful... just grateful..."
Wang Long laughed: "If you like her, just admit it! This girl is exceptionally beautiful and talented, plus she saved your life. It's perfectly normal for you to have feelings for her."
"However... looking at her cold demeanor, it might be hard to win her over," Wang Long pretended to be wise and sighed softly.
Liu Chengyan also sighed lightly and shook his head vigorously.
Yet along the way afterward, he constantly tried to please her, asking about her well-being and seizing every opportunity to chat and joke with Jiang Xue... Of course, it was mostly him talking and laughing by himself.
Finally reaching the seaside, the vast expanse of ocean unfolded before them, causing Wang Long—who had never left Dragon City—to widen his eyes in amazement and feel much lighter in spirit.
"Strange..." Zhang Tailai murmured, "Why haven't we seen any ships from Lingzhi Island?"
Li Xinghe frowned, "Could it be... that the people from Black Serpent Island have..."
"That's very possible..." Zhang Tailai nodded and decisively said, "It seems the situation is urgent; we can't wait any longer. Let's find a boat and head out ourselves!"
The group immediately purchased a small boat and set sail towards Lingzhi Island.
After half a day's journey, they gradually saw the outline of Lingzhi Island. This place was originally known for its beautiful scenery, but at this moment, it appeared to be shrouded in dark clouds from a distance.
Upon reaching the island, they found it similarly deserted. Zhang Tailai felt increasingly uneasy and led the group towards the central area of the island.
The center of Lingzhi Island was where the residents lived, and the island was almost surrounded by mountains on three sides. The group climbed over steep peaks and reached the summit.
Looking down from afar, they saw that Lingzhi City seemed to be bustling with people, with weapons drawn, as if a large-scale battle had already broken out.
"We're late; it seems Black Serpent Island has already launched a full-scale attack... No wonder we can't even see the ship that was supposed to welcome the envoy Return," Zhang Tailai said solemnly.
Li Xinghe exclaimed angrily, "Black Serpent Island is truly audacious! Knowing that Lingzhi Island is part of our Longcheng territory, they dare to brazenly attack and plunder!"
Wang Yuanxian glanced at him and chuckled lightly, "Alright, no need to say more. You all assist the people of Lingzhi Island here; I'll be back shortly..."
Zhang Tailai was taken aback and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Naturally to Black Serpent Island," Wang Yuanxian replied with a smile. "Don't worry; I'll only be gone for half a day. As long as you can hold out for that long, this battle will be considered a victory."
Zhang Tailai suddenly smiled and nodded, "That sounds excellent."
Several people had never seen Zhang Tailai smile, and for a moment, they were all taken aback. Moreover, except for Wang Long, the others had no idea about Wang Yuanxian's identity and naturally did not understand the meaning of these words at all.
Wang Long, however, felt somewhat anxious, wondering if this old man intended to single-handedly eliminate Black Serpent Island. Even though he was a Celestial Dragon during the era of the second-generation Dragon Head and the master of the Contemporary Dragon Head, an unparalleled talent, his opponent was an entire small country's force!
"Old man, you..." Wang Long said anxiously, trying to dissuade him.
"Hey, don't worry. This is called cutting off the enemy's supplies and attacking where they cannot defend... Heh heh, with Black Serpent Island launching a massive attack and their defenses being weak, who would expect me to strike suddenly? You can rest assured; I only need half a day's work..."
Suddenly, his expression darkened as he looked down at the fierce battle in the city below and sighed, "Black Serpent Island is coming on strong, and according to that mysterious Black Cloaked Guard Leader's background, there might be some forces behind them. You must be careful! Remember, just hold out for half a day! I'm going!"
After saying this, he turned and left. A Dragon Roar faded away as his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
Everyone was utterly astonished; such a movement technique was something they had never even heard of! If it was Dragon Technique, it must have surpassed the ninth level to be considered an extraordinary Dragon Technique. If it was Dragon Arts, did he not even need any incantations?
It was only at this moment that they realized the old man's identity was truly unfathomable!
Even Jiang Xue, the mysterious woman with enigmatic martial prowess, rarely showed a serious expression.
