The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 17 Getting Revenge

"Participant No. 99's victory!"

The judge announced the result. Lin Yan had won!

Huang Suqiu, who was standing below, had her mouth slightly open. Her eyes emitted a faint light, showing that she was surprised.

She muttered to herself, "It's only been a couple of days since we last met, but Lin Yan's swordsmanship has advanced to such an extent. If Uncle Eryi can bring Lin Yan back with him, the Hall of the Holy Sword might..."

Naturally, no one could hear what she was saying.

A myriad of thoughts crossed her mind when she thought about what happened at the Hall of the Holy Sword. She was uneasy for a long time.

"Round 18..."

The fierce battles in the arena continued. The three rounds that Huang Suqiu fought in after that were all won consecutively.

Lin Yan had similarly stepped into the arena five times and ended the fight at lightning speed.

"Participant No. 99 and 188!"

Once again, Lin Yan's number was called. When he stepped onto the arena, he was stunned.

Standing in front of him was a beautiful girl with exquisite facial features like a porcelain doll, there was a hint of charm in her gorgeous eyes.

Her curvy figure was only covered by a piece of thin, gauzy fabric, highlighting her body shape and even her private parts.

Such a beautiful woman should have been a feast for the eyes, but Lin Yan instantly became furious.

That was because the person in front of him was Lin Qiaoer, who had joined hands with Lin Tianyou to betray him, steal his Heavenly Pill, and cripple his meridians and Elixir Field.

Lin Qiaoer looked back at him. Her face contained an additional layer of fury and dissatisfaction as she clenched her teeth and spoke.

"How are you not dead yet and here at the martial arts competition?!"

"I regret not killing you back then!" She fumed.

Lin Qiaoer did not stop speaking. "Well, trash is still trash. You could never compare to Tianyou."

She continued, "If you still have any self-awareness left in you, you'd better hurry up and die! No one in this world cares about you."

Lin Yan's heart was agitated. He roared like a wild beast but quickly managed to calm himself down.

He and Lin Tianyou had always been at odds with each other. They had always been competing for first place in the Lin Family, so he knew why Lin Tianyou had attacked him.

But he couldn't figure out why the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique was the reason behind the attack.

He thought it was only a Yellow Rank low-grade technique when he was cultivating in the Dragon-Devouring Prison.

In terms of power, any middle-grade or high-grade sword technique could beat it.

Did Lin Tianyou do it so they would not cultivate the same technique?

Thus, he spoke what was on his mind.

"Why does it have to be the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique? Tell me, and I'll spare your life!"

Lin Qiaoer was stunned at his question and the contempt expression on her face disappeared instantly. She became nervous and cautious.

"Hmph, don't try to trick me! A dead person like you has no reason to know that much."

"You only need to know that the person who killed you today is called Lin Qiaoer, the same woman who you once dreamed of day and night."

She snorted and the light veil on her body danced under the effects of the airflow that she released.

A stream of dark cyan light slowly appeared in her body, and the virtual shadow of a cyan snake materialized in the air.

"It's a High-grade Spiritual Body!"

Someone under the stage recognized Lin Qiaoer's Spiritual Body and exclaimed in astonishment

"I heard that Lin Qiaoer had awakened a High-grade Spiritual Body not long ago. Hers is the Viridescent Serpent Spiritual Body! Her cultivation is growing by leaps and bounds, her strength has more than doubled."

"Tsk tsk, such beauty with such talent. If only I were Lin Tianyou, how great would it be? Every day, I could..."

"Shut up! You're delusional! Who do you think you are? Although I did hear that Lin Qiaoer used to be involved with Lin Yan."

The discussion grew heated and increasingly unbearable.

The moment the illusion of that green snake appeared, Lin Qiaoer's aura jumped from the peak of the Seventh Grade of Body Tempering to the Eighth Grade.

The majestic pressure came rolling back like a gust of wind.

Many thoughts flashed across Lin Yan's heart and mind as he looked at her.

Once, Lin Yan thought that Lin Qiaoer was the woman he would protect for his whole life.

He used to think that she was the woman he loved.

In the past, he felt like his future was bright, full of hope.

The illusion lasted until he was pulled into the abyss, and reality lay right in front of him, shattering all his delusions.

Images of his pain and suffering flashed across Lin Yan's mind in an instant. He suddenly became much calmer.

"Everything has to have an end. I have to admit that you are much stronger than before. It's enough for me to exert a bit of my own strength."

Lin Qiaoer didn't take it seriously and sneered, "You're much too stubborn in the face of death. I'll send you to hell right now!"

While speaking, the shadow of the green snake wrapped around her, and she turned into an arc of green light.

That arc of light flashed and arrived in an instant. It was like a real cyan snake was moving on the upper reaches of the platform.

Ordinary people could see cyan arcs, but not Lin Qiaoer's figure.

From above the city gate, Luo Donghe, who was quietly observing the situation, smiled. Sharing his glee was Ling Lang, who was beside him.

Although they were uncertain about Lin Yan's true strength, they knew just how strong Lin Qiaoer was.

Although she was only at the Seventh Grade of Body Tempering, she had awakened a High-grade Spiritual Body after consuming the Heavenly Pill.

Her true strength had more than doubled compared to before.

With her full strength, she could even match an expert with the Ninth Grade of Body Tempering.

No matter how strong Lin Yan was, he could not be more powerful than someone at the Ninth Grade of Body Tempering, could he?

Just when they thought that victory was in their hands, the smiles on their faces suddenly froze and slowly disappeared.

Lin Yan's face was icy as he watched Lin Qiaoer, who was hurtling over, intending to take his life. The corner of his mouth lifted.

He took a small step forward. Before his foot landed, he shouted, "Three-Star Step, First Stance!"

Whoosh!

Boom!

After he said that, Lin Yan's entire body transformed into colorful starlight as he rushed over and disappeared after a flash.

Boom!

The whole platform shook as he appeared behind Lin Qiaoer. The sword in his hand emitted a terrifying glow that gave people a suffocating feeling.

Ghostly killing intent filled the light that swallowed Lin Qiaoer, the whole platform, and even those near the platform.

All the people felt their blood gurgling in their bodies, and they couldn't even breathe well. Even their Yuan Qi had been shocked and grew stagnant.

"Art of Sword-Drawing!"

A shocking silver glow shot to the sky and in all directions with Lin Yan as the center. It destroyed everything in its way, shedding blood.

"Hurry up! Lift the metal-wood barrier! Don't let the attack overflow!"

Calling out in a panic, the judges under the stage immediately realized what was going on. They quickly ordered the other judges around to lift the metal-wood barrier.

Bang!

A grayish-black light barrier appeared within the black metal, covering the entire arena where Lin Yan and Lin Qiaoer stood.

The sword light cut through the dark green shadow around her and turned it into a powder that then floated in the air.

Lin Qiaoer was seriously injured by the silver sword light. The already thin gauze on her was torn into pieces, the parts shielding her dignity barely intact.

Streaks of blood half the size of one's palm appeared on her delicate skin, spreading across her back, shoulders, breasts, and face.

Lin Qiaoer, whose beauty could have toppled cities, was no longer as beautiful as she used to be.

Lin Yan had broken her image and turned her into an ugly monster.

Bang!

The remaining power of the light cut through the greyish-black light barrier, making the shield shake a little. Lightning flashed on it constantly.

It seemed like it could shatter at any moment.

Luo Donghe and Lin Lang looked as if they had drunk expired milk, gritting their teeth as they stared wide-eyed at the stage.

Luo Donghe lost his mind and shouted at Lin Lang next to him.

"Is this what you meant when you said Lin Yan isn't strong? Is this the solution that you talked about?"

"Or do you mean that he's already found out about the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique's secret and fully understood it?!"

At this point, Luo Donghe's monstrous killing intent enveloped Lin Lang, causing him to tremble.

"T-This is absolutely impossible, Prince Luo Donghe! He can't know that the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique is the Nine Profound Sword Technique's—"

"Shut up. If you say one more word, I'll kill you immediately! Either he dies today, or you and Lin Tianyou will!"

Before Lin Lang could even finish speaking, Luo Donghe sent him away.

Meanwhile, on the platform, Lin Qiaoer was suffocating, and her breathing was weak. The blood on her body was flowing like a geyser, quickly dyeing her seductive body red.

Her expression was distorted, but the disdain and contempt in her eyes no longer existed. There was only fear, complete fear!

Lin Yan was like an abyss that could easily swallow her up.

How? How did it turn out like this?

His Elixir Field had clearly been ruined, so had his cultivation. He should have been a useless man for the rest of his life!

Even so, he had defeated her in a single move.

What kind of person did that make her then? She was a fool who had betrayed a genius and chosen a regular person instead.

She truly regretted it. She shouldn't have done that.

No, it was Lin Yan's fault!

If he had shown such talent earlier on, she would never have betrayed him.

As long as she stayed with him, she would have enjoyed a high status and tons of resources in the future. It would be much more than whatever Lin Tianyou had.

That was right. It was all Lin Yan's fault. If he had displayed it a little earlier, she would not have ended up like that.

"It's all your fault!" Lin Qiaoer cried out furiously.

She stumbled as she stood up from the arena. Then, she looked at Lin Yan in the sorry state she was in.

"Argh! Lin Yan, if you've done something wrong, you have to die for the sin you made! Why do you have to block my path in life?"

She clenched her fist tightly and rushed toward him without any regard for her own life.

However, Lin Yan did not make any movement. He merely glanced at her indifferently, then two cold glints shot out like blades from his eyes.

Lin Qiaoer began to tremble involuntarily upon meeting his gaze. It was as though his gaze had suppressed the blood in her body.

She flopped to the ground as her inner line of defense collapsed.

She could not believe that what was in front of her was real, that she had made such a wrong decision.

Lin Qiaoer's eyes were glassy, and she kept muttering, "It's your fault, your fault..."
