Chapter 277: Chapter 276 The Problem with the Black God Spear

"Is there a problem?" Mu Baicheng’s brow furrowed with some displeasure.

The Black God Spear had followed him for most of his life, a trustworthy brother-in-arms, yet now Ye Xuan was suggesting there was something wrong with it.

If it were not for the fact that it was Ye Xuan who had spoken, Mu Baicheng would have retaliated with a spear thrust without hesitation.

According to his understanding, Ye Xuan was not one to speak without cause; there absolutely had to be a reason for him to have said so.

With this in mind, Mu Baicheng also intensely fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan, hoping that Ye Xuan would unveil the answer.

Ye Xuan stared intently at the Black God Spear and spoke slowly, "May I see your Spear Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng nodded slightly.

Seeing this, all the disciples revealed looks of anticipation.

They knew that Mu Baicheng was the first Supreme Elder of the Emperor Immortal Sect, with overwhelming strength; even Sect Master Zhou Zihuang might not be his match.

And as for Mu Baicheng’s mastery of Spear Technique, it was renowned throughout the Tianqing Mountain Range.

In the Southern Domain, his reputation was no small matter either.

Although they did not know what Ye Xuan had seen, the prospect of witnessing Mu Baicheng’s Spear Technique was certainly a delightful affair.

Hummmmm———

As Mu Baicheng grasped the spear, his entire presence changed.

He seemed like a War God of a bygone era.

A black-robed, white-haired, and burly old man!

With a long spear in hand, he effortlessly spun a spear flower, emitting a sonorous ring.

Following that, Mu Baicheng moved very slowly, perhaps fearing that the others would not understand clearly; his movements were slow, whether it be thrusting, stabbing, hammering, twining, circling, blocking, seizing, pointing, pouncing, or sweeping...

Each of Mu Baicheng’s movements was simplistic and grandiloquent, natural and smooth, flowing like clouds and water, akin to a painting scroll, inspiring longing in the beholder.

At this moment, although Mu Baicheng did not utilize his True Qi or display any Spear Intent,

the power unleashed in each of his moves reached the pinnacle.

Every single one of his techniques was enthralling.

Among the thousands of disciples, there were some who practiced the Spear Technique.

After witnessing Mu Baicheng’s Spear Technique, they all gained profound insights.

"Grandpa Mu is so powerful!" Zhou Bingyi couldn’t help but clap her hands and exclaimed.

Zhou Youwei was by her side, also watching intently.

Grandpa Mu’s Spear Technique could be said to be unrivaled throughout the Tianqing Mountain Range.

Absolutely the first among masters of the Spear Technique.

Even though he did not exhibit the overwhelming might that could topple mountains and rivers as usual, the Spear Intent contained in each movement was so profound that even she, who did not practice with spears, could feel it.

"Stop."

At this moment, Ye Xuan called a halt.

Following the order, Mu Baicheng ceased his movements and turned to Ye Xuan, asking, "Did you notice any problem?"

Truth be told, Mu Baicheng was still somewhat incredulous.

Could there be an issue with the Black God Spear?

Seeing Mu Baicheng halting, many disciples shouted in disappointment; they were just getting engrossed.

However, since the eldest senior brother had ordered a stop, there must be a problem.

Their gazes converged on Ye Xuan, filled with curiosity.

Ye Xuan stood up and approached Mu Baicheng, yet his gaze fell upon the Black God Spear, and he spoke softly, "May I borrow it for a moment?"

Mu Baicheng wanted to refuse, but after catching Ye Xuan’s gaze, he hesitated and finally nodded, "All right."

"But be careful, the Black God Spear is imbued with a strong malevolent force, you..."

Boom!

Mu Baicheng hadn’t finished speaking when Ye Xuan had already taken the Black God Spear and started to wield it.

Seeing this, Mu Baicheng’s lips twitched involuntarily.

This guy...

Seemed to be completely unaffected.

And wielding the spear with a ferocious energy.

"Unexpected that this fellow has some skill," Mu Baicheng thought to himself as he watched Ye Xuan’s spear dance, nodding inwardly in approval.

He had assumed that Ye Xuan had never handled a long spear and might not know how to use one.

Now it seemed he had worried needlessly; Ye Xuan’s Spear Technique was quite good, certainly at a beginner level.

But after a while, Mu Baicheng’s expression grew more solemn and a flash of shock passed through his eyes.

For he noticed Ye Xuan’s Spear Technique was becoming more and more mysterious.

This was no longer at a beginner’s level but truly at a Hall Level!

Some time passed.

Mu Baicheng’s hands had now clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his eyes showed faint excitement.

Ye Xuan, could it be that he was a Master of the Spear Path!?

At this moment, he felt the Spear Intent emanating from Ye Xuan.

It was undoubtedly that of a Master of the Spear Path!

Although it’s not as solid as his, it’s already quite formidable.

Keep in mind, Ye Xuan is only sixteen years old now!

Moreover, Ye Xuan is a Sword Dao Master!

This matter has been confirmed.

Being both a Sword Dao Master and a Spear Path Master is truly shocking.

Even with Mu Baicheng’s experience, he couldn’t help but marvel at Ye Xuan’s extraordinary talent.

"No..."

"His spear technique has already surpassed mine!"

After a while,

The excitement in Mu Baicheng’s eyes faded, replaced by sheer astonishment.

It wasn’t just Mu Baicheng.

The other disciples had also noticed this scene.

"Is the eldest disciple’s spear technique even more powerful than the Supreme Elder?!"

"Is this an illusion?"

"No, this is real!"

At this time, all the disciples were stunned.

Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi were also gaping in disbelief at Ye Xuan.

Wasn’t Ye Xuan a Sword Dao Master? How did he suddenly become a Spear Path Master, and how could his spear technique be stronger than Grandpa Mu’s?!

This was truly unbelievable.

But at that moment, Ye Xuan seemed to be completely engrossed, wielding the Black God Spear and continually executing incomparably mysterious spear techniques.

Just like Mu Baicheng, Ye Xuan’s techniques went from simple to complex, and his later moves became increasingly strange, so much so that even Mu Baicheng had never seen them before.

As the exercise continued,

Mu Baicheng looked at Ye Xuan as if seeing a ghost, with a trace of panic in his expression.

"How does this guy know such profound spear techniques?!"

After watching for a while, Mu Baicheng even felt a bit dizzy.

Boom!

Ye Xuan suddenly thrust out his spear without deploying the slightest bit of True Qi.

However, at the tip of the Black God Spear, a black spear gleam of three thousand zhang burst forth, transforming into a black Evil Flood Dragon that soared into the sky!

Whoosh!

This sudden scene caught everyone off guard, and they all rose abruptly from their seats, disbelieving what they were seeing.

"What’s going on?!"

They were puzzled.

"This is..." Mu Baicheng was also utterly shocked when he saw that scene.

Old He on the Spirit Boat also suddenly opened his eyes.

In that instant, he had felt a terrifying power that seemed capable of threatening his life!

Involuntarily, Elder He quickly stepped out of his room and came outside.

"What is that?!" Elder He was the first to spot the giant three thousand zhang black Evil Flood Dragon coiling in the Sky Dome, and his pupils shrank sharply.

It wasn’t just Elder He.

On the other two Spirit Boats, people from the three great forces were also alarmed and all rushed to the deck to look up at the colossal black Evil Flood Dragon in the Sky Dome, astounded beyond measure.

"What is that?!"

Not just the disciples of the three great forces, even the Sect Masters were dumbfounded and couldn’t recognize what it was.

"Ye Xuan!"

Mu Baicheng was the first to flash beside Ye Xuan and said gravely, "What is that?!"

Ye Xuan, however, remained calm and looking up at the black Evil Flood Dragon above the Sky Dome, spoke slowly, "For all these years, haven’t you noticed a feeling of fatigue after finishing your spear technique practice?"

Mu Baicheng’s heart quaked, but he frowned and replied, "Isn’t that quite normal?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "The normalcy is precisely why you have never noticed... this Evil Flood Dragon has been consuming your life force all along!"

Before, Ye Xuan hadn’t noticed.

But just now, when Mu Baicheng was talking about the Ghost Tomb, since they were so close, Ye Xuan sensed a soul of an Evil Flood Dragon hiding inside the Black God Spear!

"What?!" Mu Baicheng’s face went through a series of changes, the Black God Spear had been consuming his life force all along?!

"Young master!"

At this moment, Elder He had also come up to the deck.

"Boy, you dare to sabotage my scheme?!"

Above the Sky Dome, the soul of the Evil Flood Dragon lingered, with those brutal eyes containing a terrifying power, staring intently at Ye Xuan, as if it wanted to kill him right there and then.

At this moment, everyone felt a chill from their souls.

This Evil Flood Dragon soul seemed to be not a physical entity, but a soul body existence?!

"A mere Evil Flood Dragon soul body dares to be presumptuous in my presence,"

Facing the terrifying pressure of the Evil Flood Dragon soul body, Ye Xuan remained unfazed, holding a sword finger.
