Chapter 28 :- Arrogance Unveiled: The Astral Reckoning

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the Celestial Sect, a brash figure named Hei Long from the seemingly inconspicuous Black Serpent Clan strode arrogantly onto the sacred grounds. Unaware of Liang Xing's celestial lineage, Hei Long, draped in ostentatious attire, declared the superiority of his small family and challenged any who questioned their might. Liang Xing, the chosen custodian of the Dragon Astral Bloodline, acknowledged the challenge with calm composure, selecting the Moonlit Arena for their encounter.

Under the gentle glow of the moon, the clash unfolded. Hei Long's flamboyant techniques clashed against the refined movements of Liang Xing's celestial sword. Spectators, initially dismissive of the Black Serpent Clan, soon marveled at the celestial grace emanating from Liang Xing. In a decisive moment, Liang Xing's sword blurred into an astral dance, catching Hei Long off guard. The arena fell silent as Liang Xing's precise strike left Hei Long incapacitated.

With a solemn gaze, Liang Xing unveiled his true identity as the custodian of the Dragon Astral Bloodline. In a somber twist of fate, he invoked the astral powers, extinguishing not only Hei Long but the entire Black Serpent Clan, erasing their existence from the martial realms. The Moonlit Arena stood in astral silence, bearing witness to the consequences of unchecked arrogance. Liang Xing, a stoic figure in the celestial night, turned away from the remnants of a family whose pride had led to their downfall. Hei Long's ill-fated challenge served as a stark reminder—an astral custodian's power transcends the arrogance of those who underestimate the celestial forces at play.
