Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Ah, the one who doesn’t know when to give up, it’s you!”

At that moment, Yun Xiao was at the most leisurely point of absorbing the thunder attribute power. Seeing Li Qingran’s actions, his eyes suddenly emitted a bright light, and a sigh escaped his mouth.

Yun Xiao opened the five fingers of his right hand, and then Li Qingran, who had just approached, suddenly found silver light flickering before him, as if something were rushing towards him, making him involuntarily startled.

”Didn’t you want this Electric Silver Silk? Then take it!”

Another voice with an inexplicable tone came from Yun Xiao’s mouth. At this moment, Li Qingran finally knew what those silver electric lights in his eyes were, and his expression became even gloomier.

By now, Li Qingran knew that the power of his Thunder Heart Break technique hadn’t harmed his opponent in the slightest. Instead, it gave him a chance to bring out the Earth Rank Advanced weapon Electric Silver Silk he had just acquired.

However, no matter how much Li Qingran thought, he couldn’t understand why his previously unrivaled Thunder Heart Meridian Techniques couldn’t harm this late-stage Qi Seeking Realm kid. Could it be that the other party also contained extremely strong thunder attributes?

Other than this, Li Qingran could not think of any other reasons, and now he only had one path before him: how to break free from the restraint of the Electric Silver Silk. One mistake, and his opponent could turn the tables.

”Hmph, I don’t believe this thunder attribute weapon can really hurt me, Five Thunder Child!”

Yet, after sensing the thunder attribute power within the silver electric light bundle, Li Qingran gained a bit of confidence. After all, he was from Sky Thunder Valley, and both his cultivation technique and his ancestral veins contained thunder attributes. He was confident he could escape the restraint of the Electric Silver Silk in a very short time.

Unfortunately, Li Qingran clearly underestimated the power of an Earth Rank Advanced weapon. As soon as he came into contact with the Electric Silver Silk, his body involuntarily stiffened.

It’s important to know that this place held the meridian treasure of a Heavenly Rank Third Realm expert. Although the Electric Silver Silk wasn’t the most powerful treasure of the Thunder King Valley, it wasn’t something a mere half-step Origin Seeking Realm cultivator could contend with.

It was precisely this extreme confidence of Li Qingran that led to his extremely miserable outcome. The Electric Silver Silk that Yun Xiao found in this meridian treasure erupted with its due power in an instant.

Or perhaps this was the first time in a thousand years that the Electric Silver Silk reappeared before humans, refusing to let its new master experience a shred of disappointment, exerting its thunder attribute power to the fullest in this moment.

Even though Li Qingran possessed thunder attribute ancestral veins, making the time that the Electric Silver Silk could restrain him extremely limited, that mere instant was enough for Yun Xiao.

”No good!”

Just when the Electric Silver Silk bound him, Li Qingran’s face dramatically changed, and his heart was filled with unwillingness. After all, he hadn’t yet revealed many of his methods.

No matter how Li Qingran struggled, the Electric Silver Silk seemed to continue unleashing its thunder attribute power, paralyzing his body.

Even though Li Qingran forcibly neutralized part of the thunder power with his thunder attribute cultivation technique, he saw a barely noticeable black flash quickly slicing towards him, immediately knowing what it was.

It was clear that Yun Xiao seized the opportunity at this moment. The Dragon Taming Sword struck, and he believed that this slash would certainly sever the head of the so-called Sky Thunder Valley genius, Five Thunder Child.

Slash!

However, just at that moment, as Yun Xiao was about to use the Dragon Taming Sword to decapitate Li Qingran, a silver light screen suddenly appeared in front of the latter, as if some mechanism had been activated.

Crack!

The appearance of the silver light screen didn’t manage to block the slash of the Dragon Taming Sword but instead transmitted a sudden force that made Yun Xiao’s arm involuntarily sink, slicing down onto Li Qingran’s left shoulder.

Li Qingran’s left arm was silently sliced off by the Dragon Taming Sword, but fortunately, the power of the silver light screen allowed him to keep his head.

Using the resistance of the silver light screen, Li Qingran no longer had any thoughts of dealing with his severed left arm. By now, he had broken free of the restraint of the Electric Silver Silk, but his face was contorted with pain.

”Ah!”

Using an extremely swift movement technique, Li Qingran retreated several meters, his gaze at the black-clothed youth not far away almost spitting fire. However, even if he were given the courage, he dared not seek revenge for his severed arm now.

”Xingchen, I, Li Qingran, will remember this grudge. Sky Thunder Valley will never let you go!”

Li Qingran, who hurriedly dashed out of the hall’s entrance, finally spat this venomous statement, though until now, he didn’t even know that the name Xingchen was but a false identity.

As for Li Qingran’s escape, Yun Xiao really didn’t care in the slightest. A guy at the Half-step Origin Seeking Realm, now missing an arm, posed no threat to him at all.

”Consider yourself lucky!”

A soft voice came from Yun Xiao’s mouth, and he no longer paid attention to the fleeing Li Qingran. Instead, he contentedly collected the Dragon Taming Thunder Silk, thinking that this item was indeed quite good.

From the sudden means just now, Yun Xiao realized that in future confrontations with enemies, using this Electric Silver Silk in conjunction with the Dragon Taming Sword or some other lethal means would probably be unrivaled.

The Earth Rank Advanced Electric Silver Silk, even some strong beings at the Seeking Origin Realm, if caught off guard, would take a bit of time to break free. With the invincible sharpness of the Dragon Taming Sword, it was enough for Yun Xiao to take the life of his opponent.

Although Li Qingran had just broken free from the binding of the Electric Silver Silk, it could only be considered an accident, especially with that suddenly rising silver light screen, which was probably a life-saving means given by the experts of Sky Thunder Valley.

But even so, Li Qingran still paid the price of losing an arm, all thanks to the unexpected power of the Electric Silver Silk, which gave Yun Xiao another formidable means.

”It seems there’s nothing good left in this great hall!”

Yun Xiao put away the Electric Silver Silk and, after circling around the great hall again, couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that Earth Rank Advanced items were not something that could be found just anywhere.

Li Qingran’s appearance was just a small episode for Yun Xiao. His purpose for entering Thunder King Valley this time had not yet been achieved.

The Electric Silver Silk is powerful, but its inherent power of thunder and lightning cannot be absorbed and refined by Yun Xiao, so he must continue to search for other Thunder Attribute treasures.

However, it seemed Yun Xiao’s luck had been exhausted earlier. Along the way, he only found one or two Earth Rank Low Level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Notably, these treasures were not of the Thunder Attribute.

During this time, Yun Xiao also encountered many cultivators entering Thunder King Valley. However, those who had not yet reached the Seeking Origin Realm, upon seeing this black-clad young man, all showed a trace of vigilance on their faces, seemingly afraid that he would snatch the treasures from them.

But Yun Xiao had little interest in these cultivators at the Qi Seeking Realm level. Therefore, under the cautious gazes of the crowd, he had already ventured into the core area of Thunder King Valley.

”Huh?”

Just as Yun Xiao turned a corner, he suddenly discovered a huge courtyard ahead, where ancient trees towered into the sky with some tall giant trees seemingly planted.

However, Yun Xiao’s gaze at this moment was not on these giant trees but up above them, where mysterious clouds gathered, seemingly quite out of place with the clear skies beyond.

The mysterious cloud seemed to only shroud this large courtyard or perhaps just the few grand trees within it. It appeared extremely mystical, as if a being of great power had gathered these clouds with their hand in the sky.

Boom! Crack!

As Yun Xiao was observing this peculiar scene, a bolt of silver lightning suddenly descended from the sky, coincidentally striking one of the giant trees, with lightning swirling around it and appearing even more bizarre.

”Could it be another Thunder Attribute Array?”

With Yun Xiao’s extensive knowledge, although he couldn’t see the whole picture from outside the courtyard, he had some guesses. He also knew earlier from the thunder seal outside Thunder King Valley that it was a special thunder attribute large array.

”It seems to be manufacturing Thunder Wood!”

From this deduction, Yun Xiao guessed the reason behind the owner’s setup of this Thunder Array Formation. Seeing the lightning and clouds only enveloping the courtyard, he had reason to believe the lightning was meant to allow the giant trees in the courtyard a chance to produce Thunder Wood.

This Thunder King Valley has existed for who knows how many years, its origins already untraceable. But upon seeing the Thunder Array Formation, Yun Xiao knew that the so-called Thunder King should not only be a powerful being of the Heavenly Rank Third Realm but also a genuine High-level Array Master.

In the Nine Dragons Continent, the profession of Meridian Refining Master was certainly revered, but beyond that, there were countless other professions, such as Artifact Refiners who forge weapons and Array Masters who study formations.

Some formidable Array Masters, if they can lay down arrays quickly, often use the advantage of formations during battles to increase their combat power by more than double.

They even anticipate the enemy’s path in advance and set up some Illusion Arrays or Killing Arrays along it, allowing them to activate formations and kill the enemy without revealing themselves, making it an incredibly powerful profession.

Like the Nine Palace Mountain Formation of Xuanyue Empire’s Qingshan Sect back then, if it weren’t for Yun Xiao, even with all the strong members of the Jade Pot Sect, they would likely have been trapped in the large array and ultimately annihilated.

As Yun Xiao surveyed the courtyard, many people had already gathered nearby. It seemed that even if they hadn’t reached the Seeking Origin Realm, their discernment was not bad, recognizing what kind of place it was.
