Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 730: 730 Enhanced Ice Cold Power

”Roar!”

A thunderous howl echoed from the arena as Ruan Shiming, the first one to lose his patience, made his Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf attack. The burst of aura at that moment frightened many Low-level Practitioners.

”Indeed, worthy of a Peak of Qi Seeking Realm powerhouse, this aura is more than double what Ji Fu had!”

The audience compared the current aura of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf to that of Ji Fu from the previous day, and instantly concluded that Ji Fu was incomparable.

The four wolf eyes of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf were devoid of expression, revealing a certain emptiness—the common trait of erased Spiritual Wisdom.

However, the aura of this Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf was not much weaker than before its Spiritual Wisdom was erased, maybe even stronger, since it had not only reached Seventh Rank Advanced but was also enhanced by the aura of Ruan Shiming, a Peak of Qi Seeking Realm practitioner.

This is why Meridian Spirits of Low-level Practitioners often can’t defeat those of High-level Practitioners—their foundation is just much weaker. How then can they fight?

Strictly speaking, Yun Xiao, who is merely at the Qi Seeking Realm Early Stage, managing to break through three rounds to get here, is already a miracle. More astonishing is that his opponents have all been strong practitioners of at least the Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage.

The beast’s speed was incredibly swift, and its attack, aimed precisely at the most vulnerable part, namely the eyes of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad.

Hoo...

Under Yun Xiao’s control, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was not just on the receiving end, as it saw the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf pouncing close. Being unable to compete in terms of strength, Yun Xiao prompted it to suddenly spit out a burst of icy air from its mouth.

Seeing this, many specters pondered; knowing that it was indeed this icy air from the Three-legged Toad that broke through the Snow Dragon Beast Meridian Spirit of Ji Fu the day before.

From that moment, everyone recognized that the icy power within the Three-legged Toad was no ordinary matter; even the Snow Dragon Beast couldn’t hold out for long, let alone ordinary Meridian Spirits.

”Humph, still using that move, do you really think I’m as useless as Ji Fu?”

However, what the audience failed to notice was the sneer across Ruan Shiming’s face as they marveled at the power of Yun Xiao’s Three-legged Toad’s Ice Cold Power—if Ji Fu had heard such a thing, he would have been so angry he’d spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

”Devour it for me!”

With a deep roar from Ruan Shiming, with a change of hand seals, one of the heads of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf slightly turned and astonishingly swallowed the icy blast spat out by the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad in one gulp.

Despite being very rare even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad had its limits since it was not strong when its Spiritual Wisdom was erased, and with Yun Xiao only at the Qi Seeking Realm Early Stage, his Ice Cold Power had a limit.

Perhaps this limit is a Meridian Demon of Seventh Rank Advanced or a human cultivator at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm. Furthermore, with the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf’s inherent strong Fire Attribute, the opposing forces of Ice and Fire canceled each other out, rendering the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s icy air ineffective this time.

”To offer resistance but fail is a shame—now you taste the might of my Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf!”

Seeing the Flame Killing Wolf resolve the icy power, Ruan Shiming was quite pleased, and with a scoff, the other head of the beast opened its jaws and spewed out a domineering flame.

The flame seemed to instantly evaporate the air in that part of the sky, and within just two breaths, it slammed into the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, making the onlookers contemplative.

Having previously had great confidence in the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s Ice Cold Power, they shifted their perceptions the moment they saw the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf swallow the icy blast without a hitch.

It appeared that yesterday’s seemingly invincible icy power of the Three-legged Toad met its nemesis today. Could it withstand the blazing assault of the Flame Killing Wolf?

At least in Ruan Shiming’s mind, there was absolute confidence; he believed that the opponent was now out of options. As long as the Three-legged Toad’s chilly breath was suppressed, he could use some techniques, making it impossible for the youngster to escape unscathed.

”Humph, mere Fire Wolf Flame, thinking to harm my Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad?”

Yet what Ruan Shiming didn’t see was that, along with his scornful laughter, a hint of an unusual color flashed through the eyes of the young man in coarse clothes.

Swoosh!

Sensing the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad might not hold on much longer, Yun Xiao made a decisive move. Extending his right hand, an intense coldness spewed forth from his fingertips, instantly striking into the body of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad surrounded by flames.

This trace of Ice Cold Power naturally belonged to the Ancestor Vein Power in Yun Xiao’s right arm. No matter how powerful the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s ice-cold energy was, it couldn’t surpass his Ancestral Vein Power.

Now, as Yun Xiao infused the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power into the body of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, its ice-cold power surged by several levels in an instant. When facing the flame power of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf, it became much easier.

Pfft!

In just a moment, Ruan Shiming, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly stiffened in his expression. Then, he saw clearly that the once unstoppable flames of his Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf were extinguished within a few breaths, as they fizzled out upon contact with the Three-legged Toad.

”What’s going on?”

Not only Ruan Shiming, but many of the surrounding spectators were unaware of what had just happened. How did the dominating flames of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf vanish in the blink of an eye?

”Did you all notice that the ice-cold aura from Yun Xiao’s Meridian Spirit seemed to have suddenly increased several times over?”

Among the spectators, there were indeed many with keen senses. After a brief shock, some had already spotted the clue. The Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s ice-cold aura had drastically changed compared to before.

Even if they sensed the significant increase in the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s aura, they still did not understand why. Some even thought that Yun Xiao might have concealed his true strength earlier and was now revealing the true power of the Toad Meridian Spirit.

”Tsk tsk, indeed a treasure!”

At the high platform in the north, feeling the strong ice attribute energy from the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, Xia Yong’s eyes revealed an even thicker greed. The stronger the power of the Meridian Spirit, the more he wanted to possess it.

At that moment, Xia Yong suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the boy in coarse clothes. If necessary, he might even let him live to forcibly extract the secrets in his heart, so as to avoid any regrets.

”Hey, this is not the time to be dazed!”

On the arena, Ruan Shiming was also startled by the sudden amplification of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s Ice Cold Power. Then he heard a light laugh from Yun Xiao, knowing without looking it was him who had made the sound.

Ruan Shiming had been caught off guard by the sudden burst of power from the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, and the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf naturally didn’t make any move, as Meridian Spirits require their master’s control.

Seizing this opportunity, Yun Xiao commanded the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad to leap fiercely, then a breath of extreme ice-cold aura was exhaled once again from its mouth, directly sprayed onto the body of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf.

This time, because of Ruan Shiming’s moment of distraction, the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf was unable to lift its head in time. A sweep of cold air enveloped the wolf, as if even the fur on its body stood on end, frozen stiff.

”I refuse to believe that my Seventh Rank Advanced Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf can’t deal with a mere toad!”

The opportunity seized by the opponent due to his lapse had aroused Ruan Shiming’s fury. Even if the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf was half frozen, he didn’t panic but instead gave a loud shout.

”Flame Killing Wolf Fur, separate!”

Another deep voice came from Ruan Shiming, and immediately after, people saw that the wolf fur of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf seemed to shed from its body, forming an illusory wolf silhouette in the air.

”Go!”

As the wolf fur, appearing to be part of some array, gathered to a certain point, Ruan Shiming uttered another word. Then everyone clearly saw the countless wolf fur change direction in unison, shooting towards the location where the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was.

It’s worth mentioning that Yun Xiao’s position was also therein. Therefore, as the wolf fur flew out, not only was the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad affected, but if he wasn’t careful, even his own body probably couldn’t escape.

The Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf that was unleashed looked extremely odd. Its entire body was now devoid of any fur, looking like a shaved hunting dog, somewhat comical.

But at that moment, no one cared about the odd appearance of the Two-headed Flame Killing Wolf itself. Their gazes were all focused on the flying wolf fur.

Due to the previous freezing by the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s Ice Cold Power, the wolf fur seemed even more rigid, like numerous fine ice needles. If struck by them, one likely would have a transparent hole instantly, right?

Moreover, with so much wolf fur, it was virtually impossible to dodge on the arena. The omnipresent wolf fur quickly closed to within less than a foot of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, and by this time, a smug smile finally appeared in Ruan Shiming’s eyes.

Because he knew that at such a distance, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad was undoubtedly unavoidable. If Yun Xiao reacted even slightly slower, he would likely be affected in an instant, and then he might be able to accomplish the task given by the Chairman.
