Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

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

Liu Hanyi seemed to be reminded of something after Mo Qing finished speaking, and her heart became determined. Thinking of all the bits and pieces since she met Yun Xiao, that bit of confidence was immensely magnified.

Before, when Liu Hanyi told Mo Qing that she had no special feelings for Yun Xiao, her thoughts were slightly shaken at this moment, especially at the moment when she was pushed out of danger just now, it was clearer than ever.

As for the person of interest mentioned by the two women, Yun Xiao at this moment didn’t have so many thoughts, because just as he had pushed the two women away, he felt his hands and feet tighten and was directly caught by four vines.

Previously, not seeing the Black Poison Wolf caught by the vines, meant swinging the Dragon Taming Sword to sever the vines. In Yun Xiao’s eyes, although the vines were terrifying, they should still be within his tolerance range.

But now, when Yun Xiao’s limbs were entangled by the vines, he then realized how strong this power really was. Even his body, which had been tempered by Stone Heart Marrow and Body Tempering Golden Crystal Silk and could be compared to a Fifth Rank Advanced Peak Vein Demon, was somewhat unable to withstand it at this moment.

Moreover, with his limbs entangled, Yun Xiao tried to rotate his wrist to wield the Dragon Taming Sword to cut those vines, but he found it somewhat impossible for a moment, and the pulling force of the four vines was getting stronger.

At this moment, Yun Xiao finally realized the fear of the Black Poison Wolf at the time of its death, under such power, if there is no way to cope, he would probably end up no different from that Black Poison Wolf.

”It seems I can only fight to the death!”

At this critical moment, Yun Xiao’s mind instead became extremely calm; he knew that fear and panic were of no help to him, and would only accelerate his death.

In an instant, Yun Xiao made up a plan, although he didn’t know how likely his decision was to succeed, he didn’t have any other methods left.

Boom!

On Yun Xiao’s right arm, a streak of blood-red flame suddenly rose – the very first Ancestor Vein Fire, and as this flame rose, he felt the vine wrapped around his right hand seemed to soften a bit.

Crack!

At the same moment, on Yun Xiao’s left arm, small bits of ice began climbing up, clearly, he had activated his second Ancestor Vein’s Ice Cold Power.

This Ice Cold Power was also mutated, and even contained a bit of the Ice Cold Poison from the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, and in just an instant, the vine wrapped around Yun Xiao’s left hand had turned into an ice vine.

”Break for me!”

Seeing that the two Ancestor Vein Powers were effective, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but rejoice. In the next moment, he suddenly burst out shouting, and then the Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein in his right leg was stimulated.

The Earth Attribute in his right leg Ancestor Vein provided Yun Xiao with an extremely vast power, thus he had that shouting, and when this power fully exploded, the powerfully strong vine finally showed a bit of change.

Snap!

A crisp sound rang out, then the three people watching from a distance were stunned to see, the terrifyingly powerful vine was actually snapped in half by the pull from Yun Xiao’s right leg.

Yun Xiao didn’t think too much, this was just the first vine he had broken free from, both of his hands had only slight control, and at this moment, his left leg’s fourth Ancestor Vein was finally activated.

Streams of life essence flowed into Yun Xiao’s left leg, instantly activating the Wood Attribute of his Ancestor Vein, and then a miraculous scene occurred.

Those vines, strictly speaking were also of Wood attribute, and at this moment seemed to be assimilated by Yun Xiao’s Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein, and although they didn’t break, they could no longer bind him.

”It’s actually... the fourth Ancestor Vein!”

When the Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein Power aura burst from Yun Xiao’s left leg, among the three people from afar, aside from Ling Wan who was still dazed, Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing were already stunned.

In the previous Spiritual Chick Battle List, the two women Liu Mo had seen Yun Xiao stimulate three Ancestor Veins, which had shocked the entire Jade Pot Sect then, even the Sect Leader Jia Yi of Luoyi Sect was extremely astonished.

But now, only half a year had passed, Yun Xiao not only broke through to the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, but also activated the fourth Ancestor Vein, a genius with four Ancestor Veins at the Meridian Union Realm stage – Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing had never heard of such a thing.

Not to mention the shock and bewilderment of the two women, with the power of the Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein, Yun Xiao finally temporarily escaped the deadly danger. Seeing his right hand gently open, immediately the Dragon Taming Sword dropped helplessly towards the ground.

The next moment, Yun Xiao, with his freed legs, accurately clamped the hilt of the Dragon Taming Sword between his feet, used his waist and with a crisp ’crack, crack’ sound, the Dragon Taming Sword swept across, and the vines on his hands also snapped accordingly.

”Phew...”

From the skies, Yun Xiao, having narrowly escaped death, gasped heavily, having truly had a brush with death at Ghost Gate. Had his reaction not been timely, he might have ended like the Black Poison Wolf over there.

Sighing...

Just as Yun Xiao was breathing a sigh of relief, his expression changed again, only to find that his surroundings seemed to be covered with green tendrils. So many tendrils wrapping around him could mean even with all his methods, escape would be unlikely.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fully on guard, Yun Xiao was not caught by the tendrils this time. However, after dodging several of them, his expression turned unsightly.

As the tendrils on the ground became denser and the attacks more frequent, although Yun Xiao currently coped with ease, with time he feared his odds of survival would diminish.

”I must find the source of these tendrils!”

With a clear mind, Yun Xiao finally pinpointed the crux of the problem. So many tendrils must be controlled by something, perhaps a person or a Vein Demon. Finding and either killing or destroying it would end this peril.

With his mind made up, Yun Xiao stepped down hard on a tendril with his left foot. He used his left foot because the Wood attribute Ancestor Vein Power within his left leg might help him sense the source through these tendrils.

”Exactly!”

Yun Xiao, having stepped on a tendril, quickly released his foot before it could wrap around him, and immediately his figure shifted direction, disappearing from the sight of Liu Hanyi and the others within moments.

”Could it be... he’s trying to draw those things away to keep us safer?”

Mo Qing’s thoughts were more complex, always guessing towards emotional directions, yet Liu Hanyi did not respond.

Though Yun Xiao’s departure wasn’t exactly as Mo Qing described, it indeed made them safer. As Yun Xiao left, the tendrils seemed to follow him, completely ignoring the three of them.

Yun Xiao, now out of sight, sensing information from his left leg, soon arrived in a lush green area, which seemed to contain a very rich aura of life.

”What’s that?”

In front of Yun Xiao was a huge tree that required several people to embrace. Below this tree were countless green tendrils, the very things that had nearly sentenced them to death.

Yun Xiao, cautious and frowning, observed the tree closely and saw skeletons all around it, probably Vein Demons who had strayed here and became the nourishment of this sprit tree.

”Could it be a Strange Spirit?”

Yun Xiao, who had many encounters with Strange Spirits in his past life, knew some plants and stones could cultivate Spiritual Wisdom over millions of years.

And plants, more than lifeless earth and stones, were easier to cultivate into possessing Spiritual Wisdom. However, this tree that appeared to be a Strange Spirit gave Yun Xiao a very odd feeling.

He knew Strange Spirits were major threats to humans, and this being in the Demon Realm, a special space of Demons Mountain, made him wonder why no one had dealt with such a powerful Strange Spirit here before.

Though the tree spirit just broke through to Sixth Rank Low Level, such a Strange Spirit, if allowed to grow unchecked, could become a ruler of the Demon Realm. Even Demons Mountain would find it troublesome to deal with it later.

”Ah, I see!”

However, after observing for a bit more, Yun Xiao had an epiphany, as he realized that after his arrival, the tree spirit showed little reaction, its body immobile. If not for the flying tendrils, no one would have guessed it was a Strange Spirit.

”It seems this tree spirit has just cultivated Spiritual Wisdom, which isn’t yet mature, knowing only to attack humans or Vein Demons instinctively!”

Yun Xiao muttered to himself, understanding the earlier discovery and perhaps the intentions of Elder Meng Liyang. This might be a special test of the current Countries Hidden Dragon Conference.

However, even though the tree spirit could not move its main body and lacked matured Spiritual Wisdom, its Sixth Rank Low Level was still far more formidable than the Half Step Sixth Rank Vein Demon.

Didn’t the Half Step Sixth Rank Black Poison Wolf only last less than ten breaths under the control of this tree spirit’s tendrils, its intestines spilled everywhere?

Though there was a reason that the Black Poison Wolf had a claw cut off by Yun Xiao, facing such a being, Yun Xiao was not completely confident, given his current Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm cultivation.

Nevertheless, Yun Xiao knew he had to deal with this tree spirit lest he would never be able to leave this place, as countless tendrils swept in, leaving him no escape.

And he had a feeling, the further these tendrils were from the tree spirit’s main body, the more agile they seemed. To survive now, he had no choice but to fight this creature to the death.
