Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Seeking death!”

When Yun Xiao made his move, Wei You from the Youlong Empire and previously Lu Jinghong, both sneered and spit out two words, because he had absolute confidence in this powerful Water Attribute Meridian Technique.

In fact, after experiencing Yun Xiao’s physical strength, Wei You no longer underestimated this young cultivator in the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, so he immediately used his most proud Meridian Technique, which was the enormous Water Dragon.

Although this was only an Advanced Spiritual Rank Meridian Technique, Wei You who was at the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm could not fully unleash its most powerful strength, but combined with his Water Attribute physique, the Water Attribute Cultivation Technique, and the Ancestor Vein Power, he believed that no cultivator at the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm could possibly withstand it.

Even though this young man’s physical strength was formidable, his Meridian Qi Cultivation was ultimately only at the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm. In Wei You’s view, Lu Jinghong was simply too foolish, insisting on competing in pure physical strength, which led to such a miserable outcome.

On the Nine Dragons Continent, Meridian Qi Cultivation is the mainstream; no matter how strong the physical strength is, if someone’s cultivation is higher than yours, and they don’t engage in physical strength comparison or close combat, then even the strongest physical strength is in vain.

It’s like an ordinary person; even if you are robust and strong, if someone chops you with a knife, you would still bleed. This is analogous to Meridian Qi Cultivation.

Wei You was extremely confident that if Yun Xiao was hit by his Water Dragon Meridian Techniques, he would definitely end up with severed tendons and broken bones, or even directly dead.

Yet this young man genuinely did not dodge or flinch, and even stretched out his left hand, seemingly wanting to break through the head of the water dragon, though the gesture didn’t quite look like it, prompting a cold laugh from Wei You at that moment.

In Wei You’s heart, if Yun Xiao used that formidable right leg to counter the water dragon, he might still have a slim chance of survival, but now, it was already too late.

”Stop!”

At the moment when Wei You was full of extreme confidence, that young man had already straightened his left arm and then spread his five fingers, uttering a clear and cold word, which sounded somewhat ridiculous to the audience.

That was an Advanced Stage of the Meridian Union Realm talent, Wei Shi, who was proficient in Water Attribute, displaying such immense power. Yun Xiao actually thought to stop it with one hand; wasn’t this absurd?

”Ha?”

However, in the next moment, everyone became dumbfounded again because what they saw completely overturned their understanding of cultivation, and they had no idea how that young man managed to do it.

Huff...

They saw a visible breath spewing out from Yun Xiao’s left palm, causing some of the nearby talents to involuntarily shiver. They instantly knew that the breath contained extremely strong Ice Cold Attribute.

However, on the Continent, it’s common for both cold and hot attributes to coexist, like the Second Elder Fu Du of the Jade Pot Sect, who possesses both Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein and a Ice Cold Attribute Meridian Spirit.

Of course, if these observing talents knew that Yun Xiao had both Fire Attribute and Ice Cold Attribute Ancestor Veins within him, perhaps they would not be so calm.

Even the giants from Tenglong Continent have never heard in their lifetimes of someone possessing both Ice and Fire Ancestor Veins. Even if there were, they would probably have perished due to the mutual repulsion between ice and fire.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Sensing the Ice Cold Attribute, the audience hadn’t the time to think further, for in the next moment, the previously unrivaled roaring Water Dragon began to visibly solidify into crystal-clear solid ice from its head at the touch of Yun Xiao’s left palm.

After a dozen breaths, a massive Water Dragon that was dozens of meters long turned into a crystal-clear Ice Dragon, which was much more spectacular than the earlier Water Dragon, just from an aesthetic perspective.

However, at this moment, the minds of the audience were clearly not on this crystal-clear Ice Dragon. They gasped in shock; how potent must the Ice Attribute be to freeze such a massive Water Dragon into an Ice Dragon?

Indeed, the ultimate form of water is ice. The Ice Attribute is actually an ultimate manifestation of the Water Attribute. At this time, seeing Yun Xiao using another form of Water Attribute to neutralize the attack of the Water Dragon, their shock was truly unparalleled.

Thunderwind Empire’s Du Ruofeng excelled in speed, and Yun Xiao used his ghost-like movement technique twice to dodge his attacks, appearing to be much stronger than Du Ruofeng, truly with ease.

Jingshan Empire’s Lu Jinghong excelled in physical strength, yet Yun Xiao merely lightly extended his right leg and sent him flying dozens of meters, breaking his right leg in the process.

And now Wei You from the Youlong Empire, evidently skilled in Water Attribute attacks, yet this seemingly formidable Water Dragon attack didn’t harm Yun Xiao a bit and was instead frozen into an Ice Dragon by the extreme Ice Cold.

Everyone had reason to believe, if these three joined forces, and if a few more talented individuals from other attributes came, wouldn’t Yun Xiao have corresponding methods to deal with them as well? And just how many attributes does he possess within his body?

At least the onlooking geniuses at the scene knew that Yun Xiao possessed a kind of blood-red flames, which allowed him to repel Li Yue of the Qingshan Sect at the foot of the mountain and block his entry into the second round.

Splash!

Just as everyone was pondering their thoughts, Yun Xiao loosened his left hand, and then the huge ice dragon collapsed onto the ground, incapable of supporting itself, scattering ice fragments with formidable force.

”Pfft!”

However, at this moment, an odd sound caught everyone’s ear. As they turned their heads, they saw Wei You from the Youlong Empire, looking as if he had been heavily struck, violently spewing a mouthful of deep red blood, his aura also drastically waning.

”It is said that the Youlong Empire possesses a unique Cultivation Method that when mastered to a minor achievement, can condense the body of a Water Dragon. It seems that the powerful Water Dragon just now was not merely an ordinary Meridian Technique!”

Shen Wannian of the Yufeng Empire, knowledgeable and experienced, muttered these words without much concealment, allowing the few geniuses nearby to clearly hear and quickly understand.

Shen Wannian was right. The Royal Family of the Youlong Empire does possess a Secret Technique, and the Water Dragon attack Wei You employed just now was indeed propelled by this Secret Technique. Inside the Water Dragon, there were even traces of his essence blood and a substantial amount of the Power of Soul.

This allowed the otherwise inert Water Dragon to possess some basic Spiritual Wisdom, making Wei You manipulate it like a Spirit Vein Realm expert refining a Meridian Spirit.

Usually, Wei You would only use this severely consequential Water Dragon attack in life-threatening situations, and those few instances indeed helped him turn defeat into victory without backfiring.

However, now, first, the Water Dragon had been turned into an Ice Dragon by Yun Xiao’s Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, and coupled with the impact of hitting the ground, Wei You’s essence blood and Power of Soul invested into the Water Dragon could not be retrieved, naturally resulting in severe injuries.

Hence, the bizarre scene of Wei You spewing blood was explained under Shen Wannian’s words, and indeed, this was something even Yun Xiao had not anticipated.

Yun Xiao had severely injured Lu Jinghong of the Jingshan Empire with one kick and made Wei You of the Youlong Empire spew blood with one hand; the onlookers were now viewing the ruggedly dressed youth with some fear.

This even included Du Ruofeng of the Thunderwind Empire, who initiated the challenge. After two strong allies were severely injured, whether he still had the courage to face Yun Xiao alone was something everyone was quite curious about.

At the onset of the battle, neither Du Ruofeng nor the observers had ever thought Yun Xiao would win; at most, they figured that Yun Xiao could withstand a few moves.

But now, in just a few exchanges, two geniuses were severely injured, and the onlookers were somewhat relieved, glad that it was those three who stepped forward; otherwise, the ones disgraced woefully could have been them.

Whoosh!

Once again, as everyone was lost in varied thoughts, a gray shadow flashed, and then the slightly stunned Du Ruofeng felt a chilling Qi piercing straight through his neck, making him dare not move an inch.

Everyone saw clearly, it seemed that at that very moment, Yun Xiao executed an extremely bizarre and speedy movement technique, taking advantage of Du Ruofeng’s slight hesitation to close in on this genius of the Thunderwind Empire.

Before Yun Xiao’s left index finger, an exquisite ice spur had appeared at some unknown time, seemingly ready to pierce Du Ruofeng’s throat with a gentle forward thrust.

In this situation, Du Ruofeng naturally did not dare to act recklessly. This seemingly harmless young man, under circumstances where he initiated the challenge first, might not care about his status as the Second Prince of the Thunderwind Empire. If his throat got pierced, it would indeed be beyond remedy.

The speed displayed by Yun Xiao in that instant made Du Ruofeng lose all thoughts of opposing him, especially since he couldn’t match that speed, even in his brief moment of distraction.

Speed was always Du Ruofeng’s most proud method, but now, this source of pride was so utterly ineffective in front of Yun Xiao; what sense of superiority could he still hold?

”Hehe, Brother Ruofeng, do you still want the Dragon Flag?”

Yun Xiao’s fingers twitched slightly, with the tip of the ice spur seeming to touch the skin of Du Ruofeng’s throat, his light laughter causing the Second Prince of the Thunderwind Empire to break out in a cold sweat.

”No... no need!”

At this moment, when his life was controlled by someone else, regardless of how reluctant Du Ruofeng felt, he didn’t dare to joke with his life, especially when his Adam’s apple touched that crystal-clear ice spur, causing his body to involuntarily tremble.

”What about you all?”

Yun Xiao’s hand movements remained unchanged, but his face, now turned around, was tinged with a hint of chill. His words were directed to those geniuses who were previously eager to act, his voice filled with unhidden dominant energy.
