Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Are you in too much of a rush, sir?”

Yun Xiao controlled the Ancestral Vein Fire while turning his head and staring at the red-faced youth, and said with an implied meaning: ”The Fire Attribute Technique you cultivate is so intensely bright. Do you really think you can hide it from us?”

After these words were spoken, other than Ling Wan, the carefree fellow, both Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing blushed slightly. In fact, they had already known someone else had arrived first, but they ended up forgetting about it.

If not for Yun Xiao, this Dragon Flag would have likely fallen into the hands of the red-faced youth. With the youth’s speed, even Yun Xiao might not be able to catch up, and they would have ended up making the wedding dress for someone else.

”Chirp!”

The conversation among the group didn’t concern the Purple Crowned Black Snake, which let out an angry roar as if issuing a warning. Its duty was to guard the Dragon Flag, and as long as no one touched the flag, it wouldn’t be the first to strike.

”Please, sir, this Dragon Flag is not yours to take!”

Yun Xiao didn’t bother to say much more. If this individual chose to back away, knowing the difficulty, he wouldn’t mind the previous competitive attempt. After all, those who entered Demon Suppressing Mountain were all after the Dragon Flag, and it was only natural to use some strategies.

If Yun Xiao found himself in such a situation, he would surely do the same. But now that the plan had been revealed and failed, he believed the red-faced youth would make the right decision. After all, the wise adapt to the times.

The red-faced youth felt reluctant. In fact, he had already entered this cave earlier but found the Dragon Flag guarded by a half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon. With his Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm cultivation, the chance of obtaining the Dragon Flag was undoubtedly slim.

Thus, the red-faced youth hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity. The arrival of Yun Xiao and the others presented an excellent one.

Unfortunately, his plan of ’waiting for the rabbit’ was ultimately foiled by the young man named Yun Xiao. Sensing the strength of the four, the red-faced youth ultimately had no advantage.

”Hmph!”

From beginning to end, the red-faced youth uttered just a cold snort and disappeared at the entrance of the cave. Yun Xiao and the others didn’t even know his name or which empire he came from.

Of course, these did not matter. What was important was removing the hidden danger. Their ultimate goal remained the Dragon Flag. However, obtaining it from a half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon was by no means an easy task.

”Ling Wan, go and help Sister Mo Qing!”

Yun Xiao had an idea as soon as his eyes flickered, but upon hearing this, Liu Hanyi showed a look of surprise because Ling Wan’s Meridian Qi Cultivation was only at the Early Stage of Meridian Union.

”Don’t worry, even if he can’t harm that black snake, he should have no problem protecting himself!”

As if guessing the suspicion in Liu Hanyi’s eyes, Yun Xiao turned to smile, then explained: ”In life-and-death battles, one’s potential can be more easily stimulated, and what Ling Wan needs is this kind of practical combat experience!”

”Big brother Yun Xiao, watch me!”

Ling Wan wasn’t worried at all. It was unknown where a young novice at the Early Stage of Meridian Union got the courage to fight a half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon. As soon as he spoke, even Yun Xiao was taken aback.

”Don’t engage the Purple Crowned Black Snake head-on. Just distract it. Don’t try to take it head-on!”

Seeing Ling Wan’s state, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but remind him again. He was truly worried that the boy, green as he was, would foolishly challenge the enemy and, despite having the body of Mixed Element Qi, would end up dead.

”Alright!”

Ling Wan’s greatest strength was his adaptability, and he had absolute trust in Yun Xiao’s words. If big brother told him to go east, he would never go west.

”Hey, big guy, I’m right here. Come at me!”

After taking a few steps forward, Ling Wan provocatively shouted at the Purple Crowned Black Snake. But to a Purple Crowned Black Snake facing a mere human youth at the Early Stage of Meridian Union, it only glanced disdainfully and paid him no further attention.

”How dare you look down on me?”

Seeing this, Ling Wan got angry. Turning around, he immediately used a technique Yun Xiao had taught him. An invisible Mixed Element Qi burst forth between his legs, spraying directly at the Purple Crowned Black Snake’s head with accuracy.

”This guy...”

Seeing this scene, both Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing couldn’t help but spit in disdain. Though they had seen this unrefined attack before, they still found it somewhat hard to accept, and their eyes turned grievously toward Yun Xiao.

Because now both women understood that this unseemly attack method was taught by Yun Xiao himself. With Yun Xiao’s skills, couldn’t he teach something better?

Feeling the gazes of the two women on him, Yun Xiao touched his nose slightly awkwardly. He was truly wronged here. Even though he was the reincarnation of the Long Xiao Battle God, the attack method using Mixed Element Qi was indeed the only one that could catch others off guard. And this move wasn’t even created by himself.

But Yun Xiao did not expect that Ling Wan would be so persistent in using this move, employing it every time he battled, which was indeed a move that attracted hatred.

Not to mention anything else, just take the Purple Crowned Black Snake before them. Its spiritual wisdom was already quite high, and it had a sense of superiority when facing human cultivators who were lower in rank.

However, at this moment, it was enraged by a kid in the early stages of the Meridian Union who launched a fart attack on it. Even if it scorned this human youngster, the Purple Crowned Black Snake’s fury was no small matter.

”Big guy, come on!”

Sensing the terrifying aura bursting from the Purple Crowned Black Snake, Ling Wan knew he had achieved his goal. With a loud shout, he gave Mo Qing, who was not far away, a wink.

Whoosh...

A huge pitch-black snake tail swept towards him with the speed of lightning, leaving Ling Wan, who had already taken the chance to retreat, somewhat unable to defend himself.

This was beyond Ling Wan’s anticipation, but his reaction was quick. Knowing that this tail sweep was inevitable, he activated his Meridian Qi, and his plump body instantly swelled into a strange round ball, the very embodiment of a Mixed Element Qi physique.

Bang!

The giant snake tail hit the transformed Ling Wan accurately, causing Liu Hanyi, who was standing by, to shiver with fear, secretly thinking that with such a disparity in strength, Ling Wan could be grievously injured or even killed by this single strike.

However, when Liu Hanyi turned her head and saw Yun Xiao’s calm face, she couldn’t help but feel relieved. She knew how much he valued Ling Wan, and if the latter were in mortal danger, Yun Xiao would certainly not look this composed.

Whoosh...

Ling Wan, transformed into a meatball, was swept over a dozen meters by this forceful blow and slammed into the cave wall. However, the next moment, he bounced back leisurely, rushing towards the Purple Crowned Black Snake at an even faster speed.

It seemed the Purple Crowned Black Snake had never encountered such a bizarre attack before, but it was confident in its much stronger strength than that human fatty; it didn’t even think about dodging.

With another flick of its tail, even though Ling Wan in his meatball form was blasted away again, the huge snake body also swayed, suggesting the great power of Ling Wan’s rebound.

After two attacks, Yun Xiao’s face already showed a satisfied smile. In the end, Ling Wan’s physique of Mixed Element Qi had not let him down.

It was only because the Purple Crowned Black Snake was so powerful. If it were a cultivator in the midst of the Mid Stage or even Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm, catching them unawares with this strike, they would probably not be able to escape unscathed.

”Ling Wan, wrap it up!”

Yun Xiao shouted loudly. His purpose in having Ling Wan make a move was not to battle the Purple Crowned Black Snake for three hundred rounds to the death. His goal had already been achieved.

In the meantime, Ling Wan had used his ”fart” to provoke the Purple Crowned Black Snake, causing it to lash out in rage twice, providing an excellent opportunity for Mo Qing on the side.

Without the Purple Crowned Black Snake’s interception and without any sneaky fellow lurking in the dark waiting to take advantage, how long would it take for Mo Qing, with her speed, to seize the Dragon Flag?

At least after Yun Xiao shouted, Mo Qing had already put the Dragon Flag into her Waist Storage, and at this point, there was no need for Ling Wan to feign courteous exchanges with the Purple Crowned Black Snake.

”Squeak!”

At this moment, the Purple Crowned Black Snake obviously realized that it had been played by these humans. Its most important duty guarding here was to prevent the Dragon Flag from falling into the hands of human talents, and now it had clearly been derelict.

But Yun Xiao and the others had no intention of lingering at all. As soon as they fled from the cave entrance, the Purple Crowned Black Snake surprisingly did not pursue them, which baffled them a bit.

In fact, this was a restriction set by Meng Liyang, the Elder of Demons Mountain. The Demon Realm was his domain, and with his formidable power, most of the Vein Demons inside Demon Suppressing Mountain were cowed.

As long as these prodigies participating in the Hidden Dragon Conference obtained the Dragon Flag and escaped the attack range of those half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demons, they would not be pursued further. This was an implicit rule, unknown to the talents of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

The roars of the Purple Crowned Black Snake could be heard from miles away. The ruddy-faced young man, who had already left the cave but not gone too far, turned noticeably pale upon hearing this angry snake cry.

He vaguely guessed that the furious hissing probably meant that those few individuals had already succeeded. If so, any plots he had in mind would likely be futile.

Putting aside the ruddy-faced young man’s frustration and dilemma, Yun Xiao and the three who had sprinted out of the cave felt a huge relief upon sensing that the black snake did not pursue them.

However, they did not stop there for long. After all, they were four people and needed to find four Dragon Flags to pass this second round of the contest together. Having seen the strength of the Purple Crowned Black Snake, they knew that there might be several tough battles ahead.
