A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

Dark clouds covered the sky above Canaan.

Holding the Devouring Abyss Sword, Luo Xing walked step by step toward the gates of the Dragon King Merchant Guild. His footsteps were light, yet they shook the entire street. The Taotie patterns on the Devouring Abyss Sword glowed with a faint red light, as if yearning for the nourishment of blood.

Shops along the street closed their doors one after another, and pedestrians scattered and fled. Everyone knew that something big was about to happen.

"Halt!" A loud shout came from inside the guild's gate, and dozens of guards filed out, surrounding Luo Xing. These guards were all powerful, with the lowest being at the Spirit Realm, and the leader even reaching the Origin Return Realm.

Luo Xing's gaze was icy. With a light flick of his Devouring Abyss Sword, a gray-white sword aura swept out. Before the guards could react, they were sent flying by the sword aura and crashed heavily to the ground.

He looked at those people coldly, without the slightest pity in his eyes.

When the Canaan Merchant Guild was first established, it had no intention of taking action against the Dragon King Merchant Guild. As the saying goes, "I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will kill them!"

I'm doing business peacefully at the Canaan Chamber of Commerce, and you guys just have to come here and cause trouble?

So no wonder I came to your door!

You want me to pay protection money, huh? Fine! Here I come!

The guests at the entrance of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce were stunned by what they saw. They never expected that anyone would dare to provoke the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.

The Dragon King Merchant Guild is the true local power in Canaan City. Apart from Canaan Academy, the Dragon King Merchant Guild is basically the overlord, and few dare to provoke them on ordinary days.

The guests quickly left when they saw Luo Xing causing trouble, and the people on the roadside retreated in astonishment.

"Hehe, this is interesting. There are actually people who dare to cause trouble for the Canaan Merchant Guild."

"I've lived for so many years, and this is truly the first time I've ever heard of such a thing."

"This is going to be interesting."

......

Within seconds of Luo Xing's arrival, Long San, the president of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, had already sensed the other party's presence.

He immediately gritted his teeth in anger!

This mere nobody from Canaan Academy dares to come here in person to cause trouble! They're really asking for it!

"How dare you!" A furious shout came from within the Chamber of Commerce, followed by a golden figure soaring into the sky. Master Long San stood on the void, surrounded by nine golden dragon shadows, each radiating a terrifying pressure.

Luo Xing looked up, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He could sense that Third Master Long's strength was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested; the power contained within those nine dragon shadows was enough to destroy the entire street.

Legend has it that Master Long once slew a demon beast that possessed dragon blood! Thus, he possessed the power of a dragon!

"Boy, you killed my son, today I will make you pay with your blood!" Master Long roared, and nine dragon shadows roared at the same time, shaking the surrounding buildings.

Without a word, Luo Xing unleashed a streak of gray-white sword energy from the Devouring Abyss Sword, heading straight for Master Long. The air itself was torn apart by the sword energy, emitting a piercing shriek.

Master Long snorted coldly, and a dragon shadow met the sword energy. The two collided, erupting in dazzling light. However, to everyone's astonishment, the dragon shadow was actually cleaved in two by the sword energy!

"How is this possible?" The elders of Canaan Academy watching from afar exclaimed in surprise. They all knew that Master Long's Nine Dragons Body Protection was his signature move, which ordinary Returning Origin Realm experts could not even budge an inch from.

A flicker of surprise crossed Master Long's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He formed a hand seal, and the remaining eight dragon shadows simultaneously pounced on Luo Xing.

Several hours earlier, the elders of Canaan Academy had learned about the matter between Canaan Academy and the Dragon King Merchant Guild on Luo Xing, so several elders were the first to arrive.

The purpose was to try and stop this battle, but unexpectedly...

It’s still a step too late!

If it were really Luo Xing's own strength, he naturally wouldn't dare to come over, but he is now able to control part of the True Dragon's strength in the Little Thunder Dragon, and his strength is now approaching the Emperor Realm!

Just then, a bolt of purple lightning ripped through the sky. The little thunder dragon flew out from Luo Xing's sleeve, growing larger with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a ten-zhang-long purple dragon. It opened its blood-red maw, and a thunderous breath erupted, instantly shattering the three dragon shadows!

"This is... a Thunder Dragon?!" Master Long's pupils shrank sharply. He never expected that Luo Xing would have such a trump card hidden away.

Luo Xing seized the opportunity, wielding the Devouring Abyss Sword repeatedly, unleashing a crisscrossing array of sword energies that annihilated the remaining five dragon shadows. In a flash, he appeared before Master Long, thrusting his sword towards his throat.

Master Long was, after all, a veteran expert. In this critical moment, he clasped his hands together, and a golden light shield instantly formed. The Devouring Abyss Sword struck the light shield, producing a piercing scraping sound.

"Kid, you think you can kill me like this?" Master Long sneered. "Let me show you what real power is!"

He suddenly spread his arms wide, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky. Within the pillar of light, a hundred-foot-long golden dragon slowly emerged, its might so great that the entire city of Canaan trembled.

"This is... the Dragon God descending!" The dean of Canaan Academy, who was watching from afar, changed his expression drastically. "Quick, quick, go save Luo Xing!"

However, it was too late. The golden dragon opened its massive jaws, and a torrent of golden dragon breath erupted forth, distorting the very space that passed through it.

Luo Xing, however, remained unfazed. He gripped his sword with both hands, and the Taotie patterns on the Devouring Abyss Sword suddenly came to life, transforming into a blood-red phantom. At the same time, the little thunder dragon let out a deafening roar, with purple lightning swirling around its body.

"Abyss Devourer - Thunder Dragon Slash!"

With a roar, Luo Xing perfectly fused the power of the Devouring Abyss Sword and the Little Thunder Dragon, unleashing a purple-red sword aura that clashed violently with the golden dragon breath.

boom!

The heaven and earth were eclipsed.

When the light faded, everyone was stunned. Master Long's golden dragon had vanished, and he himself lay on the ground with a gruesome wound on his chest, from which blood gushed.

"This...this is impossible..." Master Long raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Luo Xing slowly walked up to him, the Devouring Abyss Sword pointing at his throat: "It's over."

His eyes were filled with murderous intent; he had never intended to hold back before making his move.

If you want to gain a foothold in this cruel world of cultivation, there is only one way... ruthless!

If you're not ruthless, your position won't be secure!

The people on the street were also frightened by Luo Xing's fierce appearance.

Only the maid Liu Yan stood quietly watching from a distance. Unconsciously, she seemed to think... that Luo Xing should be invincible.

Her choice back then wasn't wrong.

Just then, an old voice suddenly rang out: "Young man, be lenient when you can."

A terrifying aura descended from the sky, making everyone gasp for breath. An old man with white hair walked through the air, and with each step he took, the space trembled.

The Supreme Elder of the Dragon King Merchant Guild has finally made his appearance!

The appearance of the Supreme Elder changed the atmosphere of the entire battlefield. He looked old, but every step he took seemed to weigh heavily on everyone's hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

Luo Xing gripped the Devouring Abyss Sword tightly. He could sense that the old man before him was far stronger than Master Long. The oppressive feeling was like a mountain pressing down on his chest, making him suffocate.

"Young man, you're quite impressive," the Grand Elder said calmly, a hint of admiration in his voice. "To defeat Long San at such a young age is indeed remarkable. However..."

He abruptly changed the subject, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "You shouldn't have come to my Dragon King Chamber of Commerce to cause trouble."

Before he could finish speaking, the Supreme Elder raised his hand and waved it, an invisible force instantly sending Luo Xing flying. Luo Xing crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Luo Xing!" The elders of Canaan Academy, who were watching from afar, exclaimed in alarm and all wanted to rush forward to help.

However, the Supreme Elder simply waved his hand, and an invisible barrier blocked them all out.

"This is... a spatial blockade?!" The dean of Canaan Academy's expression changed drastically. "He has actually touched the threshold of the laws of space! A powerhouse at the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm!"

The Supreme Elder walked slowly toward Luo Xing, each step seeming to weigh heavily on everyone's hearts. He looked down at Luo Xing and said calmly, "Junior, I'll give you a chance. Join my Dragon King Merchant Guild, and I might spare your life."

Luo Xing struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "Join you? And then oppress the people and exploit the villagers like you do?"

A flash of anger crossed the Supreme Elder's eyes: "You don't know what's good for you!"

He raised his hand to strike again, but just then, a bolt of purple lightning struck towards his face. The Supreme Elder slightly turned his body and easily dodged the attack.

The little thunder dragon hovered above Luo Xing's head, letting out an angry roar. Its body was surrounded by purple lightning, clearly indicating that it had entered battle mode.

"Oh? There's also a little thunder dragon?" A hint of surprise flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes. "It seems you've had quite the stroke of luck. However..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed, and an invisible force instantly imprisoned the little thunder dragon in mid-air.

"How dare a mere young Thunder Dragon be so insolent before me?"

The little thunder dragon struggled desperately, but could not break free from the binding force. Seeing this, Luo Xing's eyes flashed with determination.

"Thunder Break!"

He suddenly slashed out with his sword, a blood-red sword aura heading straight for the Supreme Elder. However, the Supreme Elder simply waved his hand, and the sword aura vanished without a trace.

"It's useless," the Supreme Elder said calmly. "In the face of absolute power, any technique is futile."

Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from afar: "Stop!"

A streak of azure sword light ripped through the sky, heading straight for the Supreme Elder. The Supreme Elder frowned slightly and raised his hand to block the attack.

"The Azure Profound Sword?" The Supreme Elder looked at the newcomer. "Dean of Canaan Academy, are you trying to make an enemy of my Dragon King Merchant Guild?"

The dean of Canaan Academy, wielding a cyan longsword, stood in front of Luo Xing and said in a deep voice, "Elder, Luo Xing is a student of Canaan Academy. If you want to harm him, you'll have to get past me first!"

The Supreme Elder sneered, "You think you can?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several more figures descended from the sky; they were the elders of Canaan Academy. They stood behind the dean of Canaan Academy, confronting the Supreme Elder.

Watching this scene from afar, Luo Xing felt a warm glow in his heart; at least... the elders were still protecting him.

The dean turned and glanced at him, his eyes seeming to tell him, "Don't be afraid."

"Very well!" The Supreme Elder laughed in fury. "It seems your Canaan Academy is determined to be enemies with my Dragon King Merchant Guild! Since that's the case..."

He suddenly spread his arms wide, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire area.

"Then I'll show you what true power is!"

Just as tensions were about to rise, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl dressed in white walking slowly towards them. She was stunningly beautiful and had an ethereal air about her, like a celestial being descended from heaven.

"Elder Snow Maiden!" the Dragon King Merchant Guild members exclaimed in surprise.

The Supreme Elder's eyes flashed with apprehension upon seeing the newcomer: "Snow Maiden? What brings you here?"

The Snow Woman smiled faintly: "I've come to tell you a secret."

She turned to look at Luo Xing, a complex expression flashing in her eyes: "Luo Xing, do you know why the Dragon King Merchant Guild wants to monopolize the pill market in Canaan City?"

Luo Xing was taken aback, then shook his head.

The Snow Maiden sighed softly: "Because they are refining a forbidden elixir—the Blood Soul Pill!"
