Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 726: 726, giving you some face!

”Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, it is said to be a rare creature on the Continent, not only possessing extreme Ice Cold Power but also, what truly terrifies people, a special Cold Poison within its body, for which there is no cure!”

Seeing that those nearby all looked at him blankly, this time Xia Yong did not play coy, but simply gave an introduction of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, causing Xu Huang and the others to involuntarily gasp in the cold air.

”However, I have only seen the depiction of this Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad in an ancient book. According to that book, such a rare creature is seldom seen even in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, how could it appear on a mere youth?”

Xia Yong continued speaking, his gaze fixated on the youth in coarse clothing atop the platform, the voice of his doubt coinciding with the source of his peculiar expression.

Just as Xia Yong said, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad is indeed a rare species on the Continent, so rare that even within Nine-layered Dragon Cloud it is hardly seen. Its appearance on a youth from a remote city of Tenglong Continent is all too strange.

”What secrets does that youth truly possess?”

A spark of keen interest flashed deep within Xia Yong’s eyes, something quietly took root, but this thought was not spoken out loud. He was becoming increasingly fascinated with the youth named Yun Xiao.

The two on the platform didn’t have so many thoughts, but at this moment Yun Xiao and Ji Fu had rather different expressions, especially the representative from Douling Commerce, who seemed to utterly disbelieve the scene he had witnessed.

Ji Fu was extremely confident in the Ice Cold breath of his Snow Dragon Beast. He had just confidently announced that this would end soon, but he never expected such an outcome.

The Ice Cold breath that was unerringly potent couldn’t even slightly harm the Three-legged Toad, and it seemed instead to serve as nourishment, enhancing its vitality by several degrees.

Indeed, with the Ice Cold Attribute of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, how could the Ice Cold Power of a mere Snow Dragon Beast injure it? At this moment, Yun Xiao seemed to quickly realize this as well.

”Hey, since your Ice Cold Power is ineffective, try mine!”

A light laugh escaped Yun Xiao’s mouth, and in the next moment, his left hand seal moved swiftly, causing the cheeks of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad to bloat up like an inflated balloon.

Puff...

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the bloated Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad spat out a breath of Ice Cold Power directly from its mouth, which didn’t seem powerful but instilled an unmistakable sense of dread in the Beast Vein of the nearby Snow Dragon Beast.

A Meridian Spirit stripped of Spiritual Wisdom would not normally exhibit any signs of fear, but at this moment, the Snow Dragon Beast trembled slightly, perceiving this scene, Ji Fu’s complexion turned extremely ugly.

With only such a short distance separating the two Meridian Spirits, by the time Ji Fu realized the bad omen and wanted to act, it was already too late.

Crack!

It was as if a small stone had struck the body of the Snow Dragon Beast, producing an odd, crisp sound, followed by an extremely shocking scene that all witnessed.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

One could see the originally formidable Snow Dragon Beast, where the breath from the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad touched, rapidly accumulating layers of glimmering ice crystals. In just a moment, the vast Snow Dragon Beast became a colossal, crystal-clear Ice Dragon, appearing extraordinarily dazzling.

”This...”

Seeing this, everyone was rendered speechless, for deep down, they all knew the true reason behind this scene, they simply did not want to admit it.

”The Ice Cold Power of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, is indeed not ordinary!”

Perhaps only Xia Yong, seated in the north, could affirm this in such an instant. Clearly, although the Snow Dragon Beast contained formidable Ice Cold Power, compared to the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, it might as well be a Great Witch facing a Daluo Golden Immortal.

”No! I don’t believe it!”

Just as Xia Yong uttered his lament, an outraged roar burst forth from the platform, and then Ji Fu from Douling Commerce was seen, his figure shifting, rapidly reaching the Ice Frozen Snow Dragon Beast.

”Hmph, truly seeking death!”

Witnessing this scene, Xia Yong’s eyes flashed with a trace of disdainful sneer and also a hint of anger, as Ji Fu’s action was already considered a violation of the rules of the Spirit Fighting Conference.

The Spirit Fighting Conference is a battle between Meridian Spirits; the master can only control the Meridian Spirit but cannot join the fight. Ji Fu rushing towards the Snow Dragon Beast was evidently intending to use his own body’s Meridian Qi techniques to dissolve the ice freeze, clearly not in accordance with the rules of the Spirit Fighting Conference.

Xia Yong had little regard for such people, so he did not voice a reminder, merely sneering coldly, but Xu Huan, the Chairman beside him, could not help himself a bit.

”Ji Fu, don’t touch that thing!”

Knowing that Ji Fu’s life hung by a thread, Xu Huang didn’t care about Xia Yong’s expression and immediately stood up and shouted, because he had obviously thought of what the special envoy had previously described about the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

Xu Huang knew that in addition to the extreme Ice Cold Power of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, the Ice Cold Power it emitted also contained a deadly poison that even Xia Yong took very seriously. If Ji Fu were to touch it, the odds were more likely to be bad than good.

Regardless, Ji Fu belonged to Yuyang City’s Spirit Fighting Commerce, and if he were to die unclearly upon the arena, it would be a blow to the prestige of the Spirit Fighting Commerce. Xu Huang had almost subconsciously shouted out a warning.

However, Xu Huang’s warning came perhaps a bit too late, or perhaps Ji Fu was too fast. He knew that if he delayed any longer, even if he could dissolve the solid ice, his Snow Dragon Beast was likely facing certain death.

Bang!

Crack!

It must be said that Ji Fu’s speed was incredibly fast, and his methods were astonishing. After his punch landed, the solid ice that trapped the Meridian Spirit was instantly shattered into pieces. Splinters of ice scattered in all directions, causing the crowd around the arena to instinctively step back several paces.

What the crowd didn’t realize was that their instinctive retreat spared them from being struck by the ice shards, inadvertently saving their lives, because those ice shards all contained the lethal poison of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

”Ah!”

Compared to the fortunate spectators below the stage, Ji Fu, the person involved, was not so lucky. Just as he was elated at having saved the Snow Dragon Beast, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his right fist and couldn’t help but cry out in agony.

”How did he get poisoned?”

People below the stage could clearly see that when Ji Fu screamed, his right fist had turned pitch black, a clear sign of severe poisoning.

And the pitch-black poison in Ji Fu’s right fist was spreading rapidly. In just a moment, it had already reached his wrist, causing shock and horror to appear on the spectators’ faces.

”It’s that Ice Freeze Power!”

It must be said that the minds of these Cultivators of the Tenglong Continent worked exceedingly fast. They instantly knew where the problem was, and their expressions changed drastically.

Especially some of the Cultivators who had been closer to platform number twelve, each started circulating their Meridian Qi, sensing the breath within their bodies. At this moment, they could hardly remember whether their skin had been hit by those shards of ice.

”Oops, I forgot to tell you, my Meridian Spirit contains lethal poison, which might be a bit troublesome now!”

At this time, Yun Xiao finally came to his senses and walked out with an extremely odd expression on his face, then said: ”I did not expect you would leap out on your own. Could it be that in this Spirit Fighting Conference, one can actually fight with their true body?”

When Yun Xiao asked this question, his gaze had already shifted to the high platform in the north. There, the hosts of the Spirit Fighting Conference were seated, and his words clearly had an implicative meaning.

Watching Yun Xiao’s puzzled Look, Xu Huang really wished he could find a hole to crawl into, and he also inwardly cursed Ji Fu, wondering why that guy had to be so disappointing.

It wasn’t a big deal to lose, but Ji Fu had to intervene himself, resulting in being severely poisoned, and Yun Xiao seized the opportunity to make a mocking comment. Xu Huang found it hard to save face.

”Chairman... Save me... please save me!”

Just as Xu Huang was about to say something, Ji Fu on the stage had fallen to the ground, and his right arm, surrounded by a wisp of cold air, had already turned black and purple.

It seemed Ji Fu knew that if the deadly poison reached his heart, probably not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could save him. So in his desperation, he could only seek help from his Chairman.

”Yun Xiao, it’s just a fight between Meridian Spirits, is there really a need to be so ruthless?”

However, before Xu Huang could speak, a voice suddenly came from somewhere below the platform. The crowd turned their heads to see that the one who had spoken was none other than Xu Huan, the young master of Yuyang City’s Spirit Fighting Commerce.

At this point, Xu Huan had no choice but to speak up because it was his own doing behind the scenes that had placed Ji Fu against Yun Xiao today. If he just watched as Ji Fu died on the stage, it would truly be a slap in the face to himself, Xu Huan.

Xu Huan had absolute confidence in his own interjection, believing that in front of everyone, Yun Xiao would certainly grant him some face, especially since he was the young master of Yuyang City’s Spirit Fighting Commerce.

”Since young master Xu Huan has spoken, I’ll give you face!”

Sure enough, as Xu Huan had anticipated, the voice of the youth in coarse clothes on the stage promptly responded as soon as Xu Huan’s words fell. And then, with a flash of dark light, peace returned.
