Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 353 - 29 Yan Qingshuang, Ninth Princess

Swoosh!

The Three-colored Crane moved swiftly, gliding down to the open ground before landing steadily.

"Such a lively scene. It seems our Luoxia Sect has arrived a step late."

A soft laugh echoed as an elegant woman descended in midair, landing beside Ninth Elder and Sun Yingyang.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her figure enchanting, and the flowing water-blue long dress she wore fluttered delicately in the breeze, resembling rippling waves. Her demeanor was serene and refined, yet the faint aura she exuded was not to be underestimated—she was none other than Luoxia Sect’s Outer Sect Great Elder, Bi Qiushui!

The arrival of Luoxia Sect immediately eased the heavy atmosphere.

Ninth Elder said, "We’ve only arrived moments ago."

Sun Yingyang snorted, "What use is arriving early? In the end, rankings will speak louder than words."

Seeing the two spar verbally, Elder Qiushui could only smile wryly.

The longstanding enmity between Xuanyuan Sect and Fierce Cloud Sect was so complicated that a clash was inevitable wherever they met.

Meanwhile, the ten Outer Disciples of Luoxia Sect also dismounted from the Three-colored Crane.

The gazes of several young men were immediately drawn toward them.

Among the female disciples of Fierce Cloud Sect and Xuanyuan Sect, there were many beauties.

However, in terms of grace, they could not compare to the Luoxia Sect disciples.

This wasn’t surprising—the island where Luoxia Sect was located was perpetually bathed in radiant light, and it was home to the Five-Colored Origin Spring. Bathing in the spring yielded many benefits for women!

The Luoxia Sect female disciples had skin that was crystal-like, smooth and lustrous as white jade. Just this alone left other women far behind.

Hua Jingyang, who had been keeping a low profile, suddenly locked his gaze on one particular female disciple. His eyes burned with passion as he stepped forward to greet her:

"Miss Qingshuang."

The young woman was dressed in flowing white robes, her figure graceful, her delicate brows lightly brushed, and her waterfall-like hair was tied neatly behind her. A green sword rested on her back, and her clear, piercing gaze carried an unyielding sharpness that made others hesitant to meet her eyes.

She was none other than Luoxia Sect’s Outer Sect Chief Disciple, Yan Qingshuang.

Yan Qingshuang nodded, "Just call me Qingshuang."

Hua Jingyang smiled, "Qingshuang, congratulations on achieving Perfection in your Sword Dao Realm. With your talent, I’m certain it won’t be long before you comprehend true Sword Intent."

"Thank you."

Yan Qingshuang replied briefly and then gently shook her head, "Sword Intent is elusive and intangible. Comprehending it is easier said than done..."

As she spoke, Yan Qingshuang’s gaze shifted toward Xuanyuan Sect’s direction, landing on Luo Cheng.

Noticing this, Hua Jingyang remarked with a smile:

"That man is this year’s Outer Sect Chief Disciple of Xuanyuan Sect. His Sword Dao Realm isn’t bad—he’s reached the Middle-stage of Human Sword Integration. Unfortunately, he awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, which means his future achievements will be limited. The gap between him and us will only widen over time."

Though his words were spoken without much inflection, Hua Jingyang was unmistakably belittling Luo Cheng and elevating himself.

"Is that so? Excuse me for a moment,"

Yan Qingshuang responded indifferently before turning and walking toward Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng had already noticed Yan Qingshuang and greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see! Congratulations on achieving Perfection in Human Sword Integration." freewebnøvel.com

Last time, in Linjiang City, Luo Cheng had been intercepted by Cheng Gong and others, and Yan Qingshuang had wanted to invite him to leave together, offering to help him out of his predicaments.

Although they didn’t end up traveling together, Luo Cheng had remembered her kindness.

"It was just a stroke of luck. But you—hearing that you’ve become the Outer Sect Chief Disciple of Xuanyuan Sect truly surprised me."

Yan Qingshuang’s tone was gentle, with a slight hint of surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

She clearly remembered that, during their first meeting, Luo Cheng was only at the First Layer of the Tongxuan Realm, far beneath her level.

Yet within just two short months, he had already earned the right to converse as equals!

Luo Cheng smiled faintly, "Just a stroke of luck."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingshuang couldn’t help but smile.

She had encountered many prodigies—most were arrogant, defiant, and brimming with pride. Someone as humble and composed as Luo Cheng was a rarity.

In comparison, Hua Jingyang, who belittled others to elevate his own stature, seemed somewhat inferior.

The two conversed closely, enjoying each other’s company.

Such a scene naturally attracted numerous gazes, filled with astonishment, admiration, and even deep jealousy!

Who was Yan Qingshuang!

The Outer Sect Chief Disciple of Luoxia Sect, awakened with the Nine-star Sword Martial Soul, achieving Human Sword Integration Perfection at a young age—she was undisputedly the number one swordsman among the younger generation of the Three Sects!

She combined extraordinary talent and stunning beauty, embodying the dream of countless young men!

However, Yan Qingshuang was known for her aloof personality. Few could even exchange a word with her.

Now, Luo Cheng shared such close interaction with Yan Qingshuang, talking animatedly—how could this not incite jealousy!

Chen Lingyu watched the scene unfold and pursed her lips, "That Luo Cheng guy actually knows Yan Qingshuang."

Lin Xiaoyun responded, "They’re both talented swordsmen, so maybe they’ve crossed paths before."

Elsewhere, Hua Jingyang’s expression grew tense as he truly regarded Luo Cheng for the first time. His gaze was as cold and sharp as a blade.

"Oh! So you’re Luo Cheng, the Outer Sect Chief Disciple of Xuanyuan Sect!"

A voice rang out as a young girl suddenly emerged from behind Yan Qingshuang, curiously sizing up Luo Cheng.

The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a snug red outfit, her features delicate as a painting. Her graceful figure was accentuated by her outfit, especially her long, exposed legs, which were remarkably slender and smooth, resembling polished white jade. Her bundled, flowing hair added a certain charm, blending sweetness with bold confidence.

"It’s you!"

Luo Cheng was slightly surprised; the newcomer was Jin Yuxi! The Ninth Princess of the Great Yue Dynasty, who turned out to be one of Luoxia Sect’s ten Outer Disciples.

Jin Yuxi blinked playfully and smiled radiantly:

"My brother was right about you! When you have time, come to the Imperial City—I’ll introduce you to my brother! He’ll be delighted once he learns who you are!"

"Why would he?"

Jin Yuxi stuck out her tongue, "My brother has a longstanding feud with Jin Min!"

Luo Cheng’s eyes glimmered.

This certainly seemed worth a trip to the Imperial City.

At this moment, Yan Qingshuang suddenly said, "Luo Cheng, I have a rather presumptuous request."

Luo Cheng was momentarily startled, "What is it?"

Yan Qingshuang pointed to the Flame Trace Sword at Luo Cheng’s waist, "I’ve recently achieved Perfection in Human Sword Integration, and I’d like to borrow your Flame Trace Sword to see if I can glean any essence of Sword Intent from it. Of course, I won’t borrow it for free—I can pay with Essence Energy Pills."

The Flame Trace Sword was forged using testing stones from powerful swordsmen. It was rumored to contain the mysteries of Sword Intent!

Yan Qingshuang wanted to see if she could gain some insight from it.

"No need for Essence Energy Pills. Here."

Luo Cheng unfastened the Flame Trace Sword and handed it to Yan Qingshuang directly.

Yan Qingshuang was momentarily dazed before accepting the Flame Trace Sword with a slight smile:

"Thank you!"

"Qingshuang, if you’re in need of a star-level treasure sword, you could’ve just told me. I happen to have a Four-star Treasure Sword here!"

At that moment, Hua Jingyang interjected, brushing his finger across his storage ring to retrieve a sheathed treasure sword adorned with a golden scabbard, and offered it to Yan Qingshuang.

Yan Qingshuang stored the Flame Trace Sword and shook her head slightly:

"That won’t be necessary. I don’t lack star-level treasure swords."

Hua Jingyang’s expression froze briefly before casting Luo Cheng a meaningful look:

"Is that so?"

Yan Qingshuang accepted Luo Cheng’s Three-star Treasure Sword without hesitation, yet showed no interest in his Four-star Treasure Sword. How insolent!

Meanwhile, Elder Chen Xuan and the others had finalized the details of tomorrow’s Three Sects Martial Arts Competition and now called out to Luo Cheng and the disciples, "Let’s head inside!"

"Farewell!"

Luo Cheng ignored Hua Jingyang entirely, bid farewell to Yan Qingshuang and Jin Yuxi, and turned to leave.

"Let’s go too!"

Yan Qingshuang and Jin Yuxi also turned to depart.

"Heh!"

Hua Jingyang, standing in place, clenched the treasure sword in his hand, causing it to creak slightly. His eyes, fixed on Luo Cheng’s retreating figure, were chilling and menacing, akin to a falling meteor and a blazing sun dominating the heavens!
