Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”What is he going to do?”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s actions, regardless of whether it was the cultivators watching or the commanders of the Song Family and Xuantie Army, all showed a hint of peculiarity. That young man seemed unnaturally calm.

However, when Elder Fu Du saw Yun Xiao’s movements, a sneer crossed his eyes. He silently thought that even if this kid had many tricks up his sleeve, if he got touched by the Ice Cold Poison of his own Meridian Spirit, he probably wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed.

As a Poison Vein Master who had just made a breakthrough to Spiritual Rank Advanced, Elder Fu Du was extremely confident in his Ice Cold Poison Meridian Spirit. He believed that even if his Meridian Qi combat strength might not necessarily subdue Yun Xiao, this deadly poison Meridian Spirit was definitely not something the young man could contend with.

Even though Elder Fu Du had witnessed Yun Xiao’s resistance to poison before, he did not expect his Ice Cold Poison Meridian Spirit to directly kill Yun Xiao this time. As long as he could control this kid for just a few moments, that would be enough.

After all, with so many people here, the outcome of the battle was only a split second. Even if Yun Xiao had strong detoxification abilities, he still needed time to dissolve it. As long as he could be frozen, wouldn’t the many Peak Spirit Vein Realm experts swarm up and chop this kid into mincemeat?

Elder Fu Du was making his calculations here, but Yun Xiao’s heart was without the slightest bit of worry. Seeing his raised right arm suddenly emitting a burst of ice-cold aura, it collided with that of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Meridian Spirit’s deadly Ice Cold Poison.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The two overwhelmingly strong forces of Ice Cold Power collided, causing the faces of the Song Family members standing close by to change, stepping back involuntarily several steps for fear of being impacted by that extreme cold.

And when everyone saw that the cold qi erupting from Yun Xiao’s left hand could actually fight the deadly poison Meridian Spirit of Elder Fu Du to a standstill, they all couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air.

Naturally, everyone knew that Yun Xiao possessed Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, but during the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, they only caught a glimpse of it. What they thought most about at that time was the enhancement of Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation through the Ancestor Vein Power.

But now, everyone finally witnessed the power of Yun Xiao’s Ice Cold Ancestor Vein, and they all had an unbelievable thought rise in their hearts: Isn’t this kid a Meridian Refining Master? How could he possess such a formidable Ice Attribute Ancestor Vein?

Every time cultivators saw Yun Xiao’s Ice Attribute Ancestor Vein, they were sure to be shocked, because they all knew that Yun Xiao was a Meridian Refining Master, and his Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein was no secret anymore.

Generally speaking, it is not possible to have both Fire and Ice Attribute Ancestor Veins coexisting within one body. However, having seen Yun Xiao’s miraculous feats, everyone had become a bit numb now. It seemed as if anything that happened to this young man was so natural.

”Damn thief!”

Seeing his Meridian Spirit’s deadly Ice Cold Poison being broken by Yun Xiao so quickly, Elder Fu Du couldn’t help but curse silently. But just as the curse in his heart fell, his face drastically changed.

”What’s the matter?”

Because when Elder Fu Du tried to control the Meridian Spirit to unleash another burst of Ice Cold Poison, he suddenly discovered that the Meridian Spirit, which used to respond like an extension of his body, was no longer obeying his commands.

From Yun Xiao’s body, there seemed to be a strong suction, desiring to engulf the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s essence. This situation was something Elder Fu Du had never encountered, nor ever thought about.

That was his own Meridian Spirit, which he had stripped of its Spiritual Wisdom and nurtured with his own breath for years until completely refining it. How could it possibly escape his control?

What Elder Fu Du didn’t know was that the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad he refines had, in fact, only one-tenth of its Ice Cold Poison remaining. Much of the Ice Cold Power had been involuntarily absorbed by Yun Xiao.

Otherwise, given the deadliness of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s poison, if Elder Fu Du dared to touch it with his body, he would probably have been instantly frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture, let alone carry on so confidently afterward.

If Elder Fu Du faced other cultivators, his Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad would certainly be unrivaled, and the Ice Cold Poison would definitely have a miraculous effect.

But today, what Elder Fu Du encountered was Yun Xiao - a mysterious young man whose body carried an even richer essence of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad. Even if the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad had its Spiritual Wisdom erased, sensing the extreme Ice Cold Power so similar to its own essence, it still developed a sense of kinship.

This was also the reason behind Yun Xiao’s cold smile just then. Wasn’t that Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Elder Fu Du’s biggest reliance? Then he would take this Meridian Spirit away and see if this traitor of the Jade Pot Sect could still be so arrogant?

Generally, it is impossible to take in the Meridian Spirit refined by others into one’s body. If not careful, it might backfire, causing great suffering.

However, Yun Xiao, who came from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, knew methods that these cultivators of the Hidden Dragon Continent could not imagine. Moreover, he already had the Ice Cold aura of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, so capturing the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was exponentially easier for him.

Swoosh!

Thus, everyone witnessed an extremely strange scene. Elder Fu Du, the former Second Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, had a forehead dripping with cold sweat, as if he was struggling to control his own Ice Cold Meridian Spirit. However, that Ice Cold Meridian Spirit was rushing towards Yun Xiao without looking back, not even once.

”How is this possible?”

Cultivators on the Hidden Dragon Continent, even if they are slow to react, should know what has happened at this moment, but how is such a thing possible?

Particularly for a Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Master like Mo Li, he had never imagined that the Meridian Spirits he had refined would ever disobey him. That youngster Yun Xiao is truly too eerie.

Mo Li made up his mind that if he had a chance to fight Yun Xiao later, he must not release his own Meridian Spirits. If they were taken away by that kid, he would truly be brought to tears without being able to cry.

Swoosh!

Just as everyone was filled with astonishment, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was finally absorbed into the palm of Yun Xiao’s left hand, and with a flash of cold light, it disappeared without a trace.

And just when some were speculating whether Yun Xiao would be backlashed, a content expression remarkably appeared on the young man’s face, as if he had just consumed some sort of great tonic.

”Not bad, truly excellent!”

Yun Xiao was indeed quite satisfied, for as soon as the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was absorbed into his body, its extreme Ice Cold Power erupted and was wholly absorbed by his left arm.

As for the original body of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, the moment it entered Yun Xiao’s body, it lost its connection with Elder Fu Du and instead recognized Yun Xiao as its master.

It could even be said that this Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was the first Meridian Spirit refined by Yun Xiao after his rebirth, possessing the original toxic and ice cold aura of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad. Perhaps the power that Yun Xiao’s Meridian Spirit could unleash would be several times stronger than under Elder Fu Du’s control.

”What comes around goes around, Elder Fu Du, why don’t you taste the flavor of my Meridian Spirit?”

Moments later, Yun Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light shot out. He then raised his left hand again, and something familiar burst out from within his body, flying towards Elder Fu Du at the speed of lightning, arriving in front of him in an instant.

”Is that... Elder Fu Du’s Meridian Spirit?”

Some sharp-eyed individuals saw quite clearly that the creature that emerged from Yun Xiao’s left hand was the very toad that Elder Fu Du had used to attack Yun Xiao earlier.

What confused everyone was that the Meridian Spirit, which had belonged to Elder Fu Du just moments ago, merely passed through Yun Xiao’s body and apparently switched masters. Moreover, judging from the ice cold aura on it, it seemed to have grown at least twice as strong.

The most frustrated person in the arena, naturally, had to be Elder Fu Du, formerly the Second Elder of the Jade Pot Sect. He just couldn’t grasp how the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Meridian Spirit that he had spent countless efforts and time refining could suddenly turn into someone else’s Meridian Spirit in the blink of an eye.

Time was tight!

These thoughts merely flickered through Elder Fu Du’s mind. The next moment, he had no energy to think any further. No matter how unpredictable and mysterious Yun Xiao’s methods were, he had to withstand this attack from the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

As the former master of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, Elder Fu Du could sense even more clearly than the onlookers. He could feel that the ice cold aura inside the toad had at least quadrupled in strength while in his hands.

As such, Elder Fu Du naturally did not dare to let the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad come into contact with him. He had suffered enough in the past, and at this moment, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was as terrifying as it had been before he had refined it.

It had to be said that cultivators at the peak of Spirit Vein Realm do have extraordinary reactions. Without waiting for the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad to approach, Elder Fu Du’s body had already retreated more than a dozen zhang, to a position he deemed safe.

Spurt!

However, at this moment, from the mouth of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad sprung an icy breath that was dozens of zhang long, like a cold dragon cutting through the skies, and it instantly blasted onto Elder Fu Du.

”How... how is this possible?”

Elder Fu Du, who thought he understood the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, witnessing this scene, and feeling the ultimate cold that struck his body, his old eyes suddenly revealed an extreme disbelief.

Little did Elder Fu Du know that the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, which was refined by Yun Xiao in an instant, received the empowerment of the latter’s Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, and the power it could unleash was not something its former master could imagine.

The icy whip that spanned the skies harshly struck Elder Fu Du. In the next instant, everyone watched in horror as ice blossomed from where Elder Fu Du was struck, and in just a few breaths, the former Second Elder of the Jade Pot Sect was frozen into a lifelike ice sculpture.

”Dead?”

Through the clear ice, everyone saw the slightly panicked expression on Elder Fu Du’s face, a chill rose from within, and then their gaze shifted to the young man in coarse clothing, filled with fear and caution.

A peak cultivator of the Spirit Vein Realm, and a true high-rank Spiritual Rank Poison Vein Master, merely launched a single Meridian Spirit attack only to be counterattacked using his own method, dying in such a bizarre manner—this was an outcome no one had ever anticipated.
