Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Sssssss...

However, at this moment, around the Black Poison Wolf, some mysterious vines suddenly appeared, and these vines seemed to possess some sort of spiritual nature, directly entwining around its remaining three wolf paws.

The vines that clung to the Black Poison Wolf’s three paws suddenly tightened, and Yun Xiao and his group starkly saw that the previously unstoppable Black Poison Wolf was directly pulled into the air, suspended.

”Aoooooo!”

The frightened wolf howls echoed through the mountains, causing Yun Xiao and his group to feel a trace of terror, as they did not feel joy from receiving help in that moment but rather a surge of intense unease.

Hsssss...

Droplets of wolf saliva flowed from the Black Poison Wolf, and when these droplets of Wolf Poison landed on the vines, there was a reaction, and trails of black smoke arose. The distant Yun Xiao and his group could smell a pungent scorched odor in their noses.

However, this extremely poisonous Black Wolf Poison only managed to corrode a small part of the vines; instead, it seemed to have angered the vines even more, wrapping the Black Poison Wolf even tighter.

Whoosh!

A moment later, the powerful Sixth Rank Black Poison Wolf, fear still unfully emerged in its wolf eyes, had its entire body pulled with a strong force, directly tearing into pieces.

The three wolf paws were each pulled by three vines, while its wolf body and internal organs scattered all over the ground, presenting an extremely bloody scene. However, at this moment, Yun Xiao and his group’s minds were not on the dead Black Poison Wolf.

The blood, flesh, and organs of the Black Poison Wolf that fell to the ground were slowly disappearing, as though being devoured by a mysterious force, appearing both bizarre and eerie.

”We should not stay here any longer, let’s leave quickly!”

Such a bizarre scene, coupled with the death of the Sixth Rank Black Poison Wolf, made Yun Xiao feel a deep unease, this place was just too dangerous, a single misstep could potentially cost all four of their lives.

In fact, Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing had already realized this without needing Yun Xiao’s reminder, they would not believe that their Physical Strength was stronger than that of the Black Poison Wolf, and if caught by the vines, they might end up like the Black Poison Wolf.

”Hm?”

However, just as Yun Xiao and the two women moved, they suddenly found that the previously empty ground had, at some unknown point, sprung up countless green vines, this discovery made their faces change drastically.

”Ling Wan!”

Just as Yun Xiao thought to himself that something was amiss, a chubby figure had already been lifted off the ground, hanging upside down – who else could it be, if not Ling Wan?

Ling Wan was the weakest among them, and he was the first to be attacked this time, the vines that entwined around his feet left him with no chance to resist, and he was directly suspended.

Yun Xiao knew only that this place was dangerous and his only thought was to escape, but now seeing Ling Wan being caught, even if threatened with a knife, he wouldn’t be able to leave.

After the destruction of the Shang Family, and the loss of his mother and sister, Ling Wan, who had a similar experience to himself, was the most important to Yun Xiao, he had long considered him as his own brother, Ling Wan’s consistent address of ”Brother Yun Xiao” was not without reason.

”Monster, stop your violence!”

Seeing Ling Wan in imminent danger, with a delay possibly leading to him being torn apart like the Black Poison Wolf, Yun Xiao shouted loudly, drawing the Dragon Taming Sword from his back, leaped high into the air, and swung his sword towards the vines holding Ling Wan.

At this moment, Yun Xiao did not use the Ancestral Vein Fire, because limited by his strength, although the Ancestral Vein Fire was powerful, he could not guarantee that it would surely burn through those vines.

Knowing just how formidable the Black Poison Wolf’s Wolf Poison was, yet it could only slightly corrode the vines; in the end, it still ended up dismembered.

Yun Xiao reacted extremely swiftly, and his method was exceedingly accurate. The invincible Dragon Taming Sword, upon his swing, promptly cut off the vines holding Ling Wan, and a plump body fell, his cheeks pale with fright.

Ling Wan was still in shock, fully aware that he had just narrowly escaped death at Ghost Gate, even though he possessed the special physique of Mixed Element One Qi Body, his Physical Strength could hardly compare to that of the Sixth Rank Black Poison Wolf.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as Ling Wan took a couple of deep breaths, preparing to express his gratitude, on the other side, two figures suddenly rose into the air, clearly not of their own volition.

”Ling Wan, quickly escape this cursed place!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao didn’t have time to think thoroughly, knowing it was Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing who had again been caught. At this moment, even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn’t care for Ling Wan anymore, and could only ask him to escape first.

Ling Wan knew this was not the time for pretense. With the operation of his Meridian Qi, his entire body instantly transformed into a large meatball,allowing the two grabbing vines to miss their grasp instantly.

The Ling Wan, transformed into a meatball, was just a sphere that made the surrounding vines pause in confusion. Seizing the opportunity, the body of the Ling Wan bounced off a large tree and shot out dozens of meters like a meteor.

At this moment, Yun Xiao was not in the mood to worry about whether Ling Wan had escaped the bizarre and dangerous area, since Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing, entangled by the vines, were in imminent danger. Waiting even a moment longer could potentially lead to their gruesome dismemberment.

Having learned from prior experience, Yun Xiao held the Dragon Taming Sword and with two swift movements, he precisely chopped off the vines pulling the two women. Without waiting for Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing to fall, he extended his hands and forcefully pushed on their backs.

With the immense physical strength of Yun Xiao, the two women felt a strong force on their backs and their bodies flew far away as if riding the clouds.

”Mo Qing, are you alright?”

When they landed, Liu Hanyi reached out to help the somewhat unstable Mo Qing. However, after speaking, she saw the crystal-like glint in the eyes of the girl in black, almost about to shed tears.

”Yun Xiao, he... he...”

Mo Qing’s gaze was fixed on a particular spot. Following her gaze, both Liu Hanyi and Ling Wan clearly saw a thinly dressed young man, his hands and feet caught by four vines, seemingly about to meet the same fate as the Black Poison Wolf.

”No, I have to save him!”

Mo Qing, perhaps having thought of something, completely disregarded her surroundings and selectively forgot the moment when the vines had caught her, leaving her unable to exert any strength.

She only knew that Yun Xiao had risked his life to save them. Now, standing in a safe place while he was in deadly danger, it was a matter of life and death. If she could die alongside Yun Xiao, she was not afraid, even feeling subtly relieved.

”Wait, don’t go!”

Liu Hanyi, being older and more composed despite usually enjoying jokes, turned serious at this moment.

”What are you saying? If you’re afraid to go, don’t stop me!”

In her urgency, Mo Qing spoke without thinking, assuming Liu Hanyi was too cowardly or, being from the Luoyi Sect and having no personal ties to Yun Xiao, was unwilling to risk her life at this moment.

”If I recall correctly, your special physique was also cured by Yun Xiao, right? I wouldn’t want to be ungrateful!”

Mo Qing felt the weight in Liu Hanyi’s words, which became more intense. What she mentioned was indeed true and something that had been weighing on her mind.

These words hinted that Liu Hanyi was ungrateful and unreciprocal, even despicable in abandoning Yun Xiao in his time of need.

”Little sister Mo Qing, calm down!”

Knowing that the girl was speaking out of desperation, Liu Hanyi didn’t take it personally. She tightened her grip and said seriously, ”Even if we go now, we would only be adding three more lives in vain, making no difference!”

”It’s better to die then. I, Mo Qing, am not afraid of death. Ling Wan, what about you?”

Mo Qing, still upset and seeking support, suddenly asked this question, putting the bewildered Ling Wan on the spot. But how could he fear death when it was for Big Brother Yun Xiao?

”Hmph, indeed I’m not afraid of dying. But if our actions lead Yun Xiao to die alongside us, who will bear that responsibility?”

Seeing that talking to Mo Qing was futile, Liu Hanyi lost her temper, which was rare given that she was the foremost talented girl at Luoyi Sect and was not used to being sharply rebuked.

”What... did you say?”

Hearing this, Mo Qing was taken aback, her struggling efforts lessening slightly as she seemed to realize something. Yet, her gaze towards the distant young man in rough clothes still held worry.

”At such a critical moment, Yun Xiao was thinking of getting us out of danger, which means he has a plan. If we go now, we would just be burdening him, letting all his efforts go to waste!”

Seeing Mo Qing calming down, Liu Hanyi explained further. However, there was a flicker of unknown emotion in her beautiful eyes; despite her words, deep down she had no guarantee that Yun Xiao could escape from such a perilous situation.

This was already the second time Liu Hanyi had been helped by Yun Xiao, but compared to controlling her special physique before, this selfless rescue was on a completely different level.

Having been entangled by the vines earlier, Liu Hanyi knew how formidable they were. Even with Yun Xiao’s numerous skills and the indestructible Wooden Sword, whether he could escape alone was still debatable.

”Sister Hanyi, he... he can make it out, right?”

Hearing Liu Hanyi’s explanation, Mo Qing grasped her hand, her voice trembling as if seeking solace.

”He definitely will, I’ve never seen that guy fail before. Have you?”
