Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Ge Sheng’s speed was undeniably fast, having prepared his actions in advance, so at this moment, both the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu and Red Feather found it too late to pursue.

Roar!

However, just when Ge Sheng was only a dozen meters away from the cave entrance, behind him suddenly appeared a fiercely roaring Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, its origin a complete mystery.

It turned out that the intellects of Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu and Red Feather simply couldn’t compare to Yun Xiao’s. He had long anticipated that the old fellow would seize any opportunity to escape, but how could he possibly let him succeed?

Following the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon’s obliteration of Ruan Shiming, it seemed to have dispersed but was in fact concealed by Yun Xiao using some techniques. Its emergence from the void was nothing short of stunning.

Naturally, at this point, Ge Sheng was in no mood to admire the splendor of the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon. He felt a great force attacking from behind and realized it was impossible to evade.

Moreover, Ge Sheng knew that if he turned around to confront the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon directly, he would waste precious escape time, potentially dooming himself once surrounded by one human and two demons.

Bang!

Therefore, gritting his teeth, Ge Sheng made a decisive decision to withstand the attack; after a loud crash, the head of the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon fiercely struck Ge Sheng’s vital spot on his back.

Fortunately, Ge Sheng faced the cave entrance, so he wasn’t smashed against the cave walls like Ruan Shiming and Xue Shaoqing before him.

Whoosh...

An elderly silhouette, like a dragon soaring through mist, flew forward, passed directly through the waterfall curtain, and harshly fell into the pool below.

”What’s that?”

The sudden turn of events shocked Ji Fu, who was engaging in fierce combat with the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile. He immediately turned his head.

To be honest, although Ji Fu was only at the Late Stage of the Qi Seeking Realm, given that the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile had a tail cut off by Yun Xiao with the Dragon Taming Sword the other day, Ji Fu was still holding his ground, allowing him spare attention for the incident unfolding nearby.

Pop!

Just as Ji Fu turned his head, the figure that had fallen into the water popped its head up, altering Ji Fu’s complexion greatly, for he recognized that the figure was none other than Ge Sheng, a not insignificant Earth Rank Low Level Meridian Refining Master from the Spirit Fighting Commerce.

At this moment, Ge Sheng was undeniably in a sorry state, drenched from the fall into the pool and with his energy extremely feeble, clearly heavily injured.

Yet, Ji Fu never expected this, wondering how combating a mere early stage Qi Seeking Realm youngster required dispatching two late stage and three peak Qi Seeking Realm Cultivators from Yuyang City’s Spirit Fighting Commerce, yet Ge Sheng still ended up like this.

”Could there be a formidable Vein Demon inside that waterfall cave?”

Suddenly a wild thought struck Ji Fu, then he saw Ge Sheng leap out from the pool, trying to escape without looking back.

”Escape? Really?”

Just as Ji Fu considered this idea, a cold snort emanated from within the waterfall, followed immediately by a streak of black light speeding faster than lightning, piercing directly through Ge Sheng’s back and exiting through his chest, causing the elder’s silhouette to stiffen and then collapse to the ground.

”Dead?!”

Witnessing this, a deep unease welled up inside Ji Fu, suggesting that perhaps their flawless plan had after all encountered an unexpected twist.

Considering that Ge Sheng was a legitimate peak Qi Seeking Realm Cultivator, now fatally struck by a black light, who then was the mastermind controlling this black light?

Swish!

As Ji Fu’s mind wavered, the waterfall curtain slightly parted, and a familiar figure leapt out, none other than their intended target this time.

”Yun Xiao!”

These two words escaped Ji Fu almost squeezed from between his teeth. However, though usually filled with hatred for Yun Xiao, calling out his name now carried an undeniable tremor.

Perhaps even Ji Fu was unclear why he felt this way. The death of Ge Sheng had made a deep impression on him, and he seemed to foresee his own fate unfolding.

Plop!

Following that, Ji Fu witnessed another miraculous scene. As the shabbily dressed young boy emerged from the waterfall, the previously imposing Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile, as if encountering something utterly terrifying, twisted its body and dove directly into the pond below, disappearing from sight.

No joke, this Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile had suffered at the hands of Yun Xiao before, and it had no idea what the relationship was between Yun Xiao and this new group of people. Such a ruthless individual was better off avoided.

The one who emerged from behind the waterfall was indeed Yun Xiao. Ge Sheng falling into the pond and then scrambling to escape had all been within his calculations. And how could a severely injured Ge Sheng possibly avoid Yun Xiao’s deliberately aimed Dragon Taming Flying Sword?

Thus, the fate of Ge Sheng was identical to that of Ruan Shiming; both were initially blasted into serious injuries by the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon and then pierced through the heart and killed by the Dragon Taming Sword. It must be said, these two powerhouses from the Spirit Fighting Commerce met the same fate through similar circumstances.

”Eh? There is another one!”

As Yun Xiao leaped out from the waterfall, he saw Ji Fu, whose expression was somewhat unsure. Yun Xiao’s eyes revealed a hint of mockery, and then, with a fluctuating handprint from his left and right hands, a massive Ice and Fire Giant Dragon swiftly burst out from the waterfall, looking incredibly powerful.

”Ah, no!”

The overwhelming aura of the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon nearly made Ji Fu collapse in terror on the spot. He suddenly realized that facing this shabbily dressed youth again, even though he was still a small realm higher, he decisively became the lower ranker.

Yun Xiao showed no mercy to his enemies who dared to attack him. Controlling the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon to furiously bite towards Ji Fu, if this bite were to land, this guy would instantaneously meet the same end as Ruan Shiming and Ge Sheng.

Just when Yun Xiao was controlling the Giant Dragon to pounce, Ji Fu, without hesitation, turned and fled. Seeing this, Yun Xiao shook his head and thought to himself that this would make things much easier.

No matter how fast Ji Fu was, he couldn’t outpace the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon controlled by Yun Xiao. In just a brief moment, the gaping dragon’s mouth had swallowed Ji Fu whole, erasing him from existence.

Even the slightest trace of Ji Fu’s scent disappeared in an instant, as if it was obliterated the moment he was swallowed into the dragon’s belly. This was another formidable aspect of the Five Elements Ice and Fire Giant Dragon.

”At last, all taken care of!”

Sensing that Ji Fu’s presence had completely vanished, Yun Xiao let out a big sigh of relief. Although it seemed easy for him just now, apart from not invoking his Ancestor Vein Power, he had used many key techniques.

Moreover, Yun Xiao felt fortunate that this time the Yuyang City’s Spirit Fighting Commerce hadn’t sent a Seeking Origin Realm powerhouse, allowing him to resolve the situation comfortably. Even though he had advanced to the Middle Stage of the Qi Seeking Realm, facing a powerhouse of the Seeking Origin Realm would still likely be a daunting task.

”However... now that I’ve killed that young master from the commerce, Xu Huang surely won’t let things slide so easily. It’s no longer safe to stay here!”

Yun Xiao looked back at the waterfall, pondering that should news of this incident reach Yuyang City, it could cause a massive uproar. Currently, he definitely wasn’t a match for Xu Huang, who had reached the Middle Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm.

”Hey, big guy, come out for a moment!”

With a thought in his mind, Yun Xiao didn’t immediately turn to leave but instead bent down and shouted towards the deep pond below the waterfall, calling out to the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile.

Plop!

Quite a while after Yun Xiao shouted, a head finally popped up from the pond. The Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile had submerged most of its body into the water, seemingly ready to flee at any moment.

In the eyes of the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile, apart from wariness, there was also confusion. It pondered why it was still being pursued when it hadn’t instigated any trouble this time.

”Big guy, thanks for blocking an enemy for me just now. To express my gratitude, please come up here, and I’ll help reattach your severed tail!”

Yun Xiao’s words seemed to brighten the eyes of the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile, which then leapt out of the water, creating a striking splash.

As soon as Yun Xiao stepped out of the cave, he had sensed the fight outside, knowing it was the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile that had unknowingly blocked an enemy for him.

Although perhaps a Late Stage Qi Seeking Realm Ji Fu might not have caused much trouble, given the swiftly changing situation prior, Yun Xiao only managed to awaken just in the nick of time thanks to a bit of luck.

If it weren’t for the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile blocking Ji Fu, the situation might have indeed changed drastically. Hence, even if it wasn’t the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile’s intention, Yun Xiao still felt the need to thank it.

Thus, the moment he leaped out of the waterfall, Yun Xiao had already picked up the severed crocodile tail, now directly taking it out and aligning it with the tail stub of the Dragon Scale Crocodile. Then, using his right hand’s index and middle fingers like a rod, he rapidly tapped the continuation point of the crocodile tail over a dozen times.

The technique Yun Xiao was employing was undoubtedly another branch of the Meridian Master’s techniques, specifically that of a Beast Vein Master. Although in his previous life at Nine-layered Dragon Cloud he wasn’t particularly specialized in Beast Vein, he was familiar with the structure of low-level Vein Demons after just a few glances.

A Beast Vein Master spends his life studying Vein Demons, not only to tame some powerful Vein Demons as their Demon Pets but also to familiarize himself with various Vein Demons’ body structures to be capable of treating them when they are injured or poisoned.
