Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 378: 378, you are ruthless!

”If I’m not mistaken, Yue Qi must have inadvertently found the inheritance of an ancient Poison Vein Master, thus possessing the Demon Seal Poison Body!”

Yun Xiao muttered to himself, as if conversing with some entity within him. What he couldn’t understand was how, on the small Hidden Dragon Continent, there could exist an inheritance from an ancient great Poison Vein Master.

”You ignorant boy, do you know that the origin of the Nine Dragons Continent is the Lower Five Realms, and as for the Middle Three Realms and the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, they were forcibly created by later powerhouses!”

Just as Yun Xiao was puzzled, a voice in his mind, tinged with a hint of ridicule, suddenly emerged, making him pensive, and seemingly, much of what he knew about the Nine Dragons Continent was very limited.

”The wonders of the Nine Dragons Continent are beyond your imagination. In the ancient times, many Holy Rank powerhouses, even those beyond the Holy Rank, lived here in the Lower Five Realms, leaving behind inheritances. What’s so strange about that!”

The Golden Snake Worm seemed to know what Yun Xiao was thinking and spoke again, prompting Yun Xiao to think even more.

”Could it be... there are truly beings more powerful than the Third Realm of Holy Rank?”

This concept was as incredible to Yun Xiao now as when he first displayed external aggregation of Meridian Qi in the Meridian Gathering Realm; utterly unimaginable.

In Yun Xiao’s mind, the Third Realm of Holy Rank was already the summit of cultivation on the Nine Dragons Continent. Like Emperor Canglong, or the Long Xiao Battle God who once pushed invincibly, both had reached the peak of Meridian Qi Cultivation, almost unbeatable by anyone.

But now, suddenly hearing that such a peak wasn’t the real peak felt like someone telling you that the way you’ve been cultivating since childhood was wrong, which was hard to accept.

”Third Realm of Holy Rank? What is that even worth? Forget it, your cultivation is too weak, it’s better not to know these things for now!”

Just as the Golden Snake Worm was about to reveal something, it suddenly changed the subject. Perhaps as it suggested, Yun Xiao’s current level of Meridian Qi Cultivation was too weak to be privileged with those secrets.

During this mind-to-mind conversation between the man and the snake, up on the arena, Yue Qi’s aura suddenly surged again, clearly indicating he was overtaking Mo Qing.

”Only one layer of Demon Seal?”

Yun Xiao had been sensing the changes in Yue Qi’s aura, and at this moment, he was certain that Yue Qi, upon unlocking the Demon Seal, had not even advanced one minor realm, clearly having unlocked only one layer.

”I overestimated him!”

Thinking this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but give a wry smile, musing that measuring Yue Qi against the Demon Seal Poison Body associated with the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was somewhat inappropriate, as Yue Qi’s inheritance likely wasn’t from any ancient great power.

According to Yun Xiao’s knowledge, the most ferocious Demon Seal Poison Body has nine seals; at the level of Meridian Union Realm, one would at least be able to unlock two seals, allowing an enhancement by one minor realm.

Yet now, Yue Qi’s aura had significantly boosted, but he had not reached the genuine Late Stage of the Meridian Union Realm. This was the origin of Yun Xiao’s self-mockery for having overestimated Yue Qi. This kind of enhancement could not truly compare to the real Demon Seal Poison Body of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

But while Yun Xiao was shaking his head and smiling below, Yue Qi, whose aura was rapidly increasing, grew more confident. He had always been evenly matched with Mo Qing, only at a slight disadvantage due to her special Pure Yang Immortal Body.

Yet at this moment, Yue Qi unlocking one layer of the Demon Seal, and boosting his strength to the peak of Mid Stage of the Meridian Union Realm, became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Suddenly caught off guard, Mo Qing felt that Yue Qi’s attacks now invisibly contained a deadly poisonous power, potentially causing endless troubles if one was not careful.

With such a situation where one must be wary of incurring collateral damage, Yue Qi fought more fiercely, and the genius girl from the Medical Pulse, who ranked first on the Spiritual Chick List, was suddenly overwhelmed to an absolute disadvantage.

In a particular moment, when a streak of black aura surged around Yue Qi, Mo Qing dodged towards one side as one might expect, but the latter had anticipated this move, and his right fist, already waiting there, found its mark.

Boom!

A loud sound echoed as Yue Qi’s powerful punch directly struck Mo Qing’s left shoulder, causing her excruciating pain, and her entire left side instantly became numb.

Taking advantage of her vulnerability to claim her life, like Yue Qi, a Poison Vein Master, held no compassion for fragility. Moreover, over the years, he had always been suppressed by Mo Qing, and with this outbreak, his heart was filled with boundless intent to kill.

Although Yue Qi had the upper hand this time, he knew that Mo Qing’s special physique was extraordinary, and given time, his Demon Seal Poison Body might not necessarily match hers.

Faced with such a grand threat, how could Yue Qi pass up this opportunity to completely eliminate the threat? Seizing the advantage mercilessly, he dashed forward and was now in front of Mo Qing.

”Hehe, Junior Sister Mo Qing, how do you like the taste of my Black Demon Poison?”

Approaching closely, Yue Qi wore a cold murderous intent on his face, devoid of a trace of a smile. However, as soon as he uttered the words ”Black Demon Poison,” Yun Xiao’s expression shifted, and he glanced at Elder Fu Du in the northern seats.

Initially, when Yun Xiao was captured and brought back to the Jade Pot Sect by Master and Disciple Fu Du, he helplessly underwent experiments with dozens of deadly poisons. Apart from the last–the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Cold Poison–the most potent was one called Black Demon Poison.

In fact, Black Demon Poison was a special concoction created by Fu Du, mixing several deadly poisons, with the most essential ingredient being the potent poison within Yue Qi’s Demon Seal Poison Body.

Even though the Black Demon Poison exerted by Yue Qi at this moment did not have the fierce medicinal properties mixed by Fu Du, Mo Qing was no Yun Xiao. Whether she could withstand it remained to be seen.

Swish!

With half her body numb, Mo Qing ultimately failed to avoid Yue Qi’s strike of Black Demon Poison. Several spots of black poison precisely sprayed onto her body, instantly corroding her black robe, revealing glimpses of skin underneath.

Bang!

Having succeeded, Yue Qi, without a hint of hesitation, took advantage of Mo Qing’s changing expression and kicked her in the abdomen, sending her flying out of the central arena.

Confident in his Black Demon Poison, Yue Qi believed that even if the Great Elder personally intervened, the chances of saving Mo Qing’s life were slim. Moreover, he thought Mo Qing’s talent could no longer compare to his from this point forward.

However, just as Yue Qi was basking in his victory, confident he had eliminated a major threat, a gray shadow suddenly flew out from somewhere accurately covering Mo Qing’s corroded body, shielding her exposed skin instantly.

Following quickly, a lean figure rushed out, catching Mo Qing entirely, just like yesterday. When the crowd regained their focus, they shockingly realized that it was Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao’s expression looked quite grim, as Mo Qing had already fallen unconscious due to Yue Qi’s Black Demon Poison, which truly was fiercely toxic; even Mo Qing couldn’t withstand it.

Moreover, Yue Qi’s final kick wasn’t light. If Yun Xiao hadn’t caught her, allowing her head to hit the ground first, she might have died instantly in her unconscious state.

Indeed, Yue Qi had intended to take Mo Qing’s life, but he hadn’t expected Yun Xiao to suddenly appear and save her at just the right moment.

Despite sensing certain energies, Yue Qi’s gloomy face instantly turned into a cold sneer and he said loudly, ”Yun Xiao, even if you saved her temporarily, how can you possibly cure the Black Demon Poison?”

Yue Qi was extremely confident in his Black Demon Poison; he believed that even his own master Fu Du couldn’t cure it quickly, let alone anyone else.

Moreover, even if the Black Demon Poison were cured, over time, Mo Qing’s damaged meridians were unlikely to recover. She might fade into obscurity among the masses, living an unremarkable life.

However, just as Yue Qi was sneering, Yun Xiao had already touched Mo Qing’s wrist through the gray robe and shouted in his heart, ”What are you hesitating about, you creature?”

Yun Xiao’s shout was naturally directed at the Golden Snake Worm, knowing that this was a crucial moment for Mo Qing, and missing this moment would make fixing her damaged meridians troublesome.

”What are you yelling about? Are you, young man, the reincarnation of a virtuous person? Saving that chubby kid and now this woman, do you think you’re a savior?”

”Enough talk. If you don’t save her, then forget about ever seeing the Dragon Summoning Tree again!”

Yun Xiao, not one to step back in perilous situations, quickly used a decisive threat that guaranteed results. Indeed, after his words, although anger flashed in the eyes of the Golden Snake Worm, it compromised the next moment.

”You ruthless one!”

With hateful words spoken, the Golden Snake Worm’s body suddenly burst into bright golden light, and a suction force passed through Yun Xiao’s right arm meridian, eventually emitting from his right middle finger.

In the next moment, the Black Demon Poison inside Mo Qing, as if drawn by something, was extracted from her wrist veins. Within just a few breaths, the rampant Black Demon Poison in her body was entirely devoured by the Golden Snake Worm.

”Huh? What’s happening?”

If the spectators and even the Elders did not understand what was happening at that moment, Yue Qi, who had a sensitive connection to the Black Demon Poison, instantly sensed something amiss and his face changed color.

The faint connection he had with the Black Demon Poison grew increasingly weak until that last trace abruptly cut off. As the master of the Black Demon Poison, how could Yue Qi not realize what had just happened at that moment?
