Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”A thousand years ago, our Sky Thunder Valley was considered one of the top forces on the Tenglong Continent. Even compared to Xuanyin Hall and Wuyan Palace, we didn’t fall behind at all. It’s just a pity...”

At this moment, Li Qingran seemed to have already controlled the situation in the hall, and he did not care about the expressions of the three people over there. He saw a strange light flicker in his eyes, then lowered his head, taking a look at the black box in his hand.

”It’s just a pity that because of this ’Thunder King’s Heart’, our Sky Thunder Valley lost too many experts, fell into decline, and could never regain the glory of the past!”

This genius of Sky Thunder Valley talked freely, as if recounting an old story. From his words, the people finally knew what was inside that black wooden box.

The so-called Thunder King’s Heart was the heart of a thunder attribute expert who had already reached the Heavenly Rank Third Realm. This heart contained all the thunder attribute power of this expert’s lifetime. Once refined by a thunder attribute cultivator, he could soar to the sky in an instant.

After knowing it was the Thunder King’s Heart, both Tang Yuanmu and Ye Suxin’s eyes lit up. Although they were not thunder attribute cultivators, once they obtained the Thunder King’s Heart, they could definitely exchange it for some treasures of the same rank that they needed.

It could even be auctioned at the auctions of some super cities on the Tenglong Continent to fetch a sky-high price that satisfied them. After all, it was the heart of a Heavenly King expert. In the entire Tenglong Continent, how many Heavenly Rank Third Realm experts were there?

As for Yun Xiao’s mood, it was even more ecstatic. He came to the Thunder King Valley originally to search for some powerful thunder attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and what could be stronger in thunder attribute than this Thunder King’s Heart?

Even the combined thunder attribute energy of the five Thunder Woods from before couldn’t compare to the Thunder King’s Heart. Yun Xiao believed that as long as he could obtain the Thunder King’s Heart, he could elevate his Thunder Wings to an extremely strong level, achieving true groundless flight and soaring through the skies.

”You all want this Thunder King’s Heart very much, don’t you? Unfortunately... it belongs to my Sky Thunder Valley, and you have no chance!”

Just as a fiery desire surged in the hearts of Yun Xiao and the other two, Li Qingran leisurely spoke again. However, except for Yun Xiao, the other two just showed a sneer on their faces.

”With just you, a cripple with one arm, you want to protect the Thunder King’s Heart?”

Tang Yuanmu snorted coldly. In his opinion, even in Li Qingran’s heyday, it was impossible for him to protect the Thunder King’s Heart, let alone now with a severed left arm.

”Li Qingran, if you hand over the Thunder King’s Heart to me, I promise to spare your life, how about that?”

On the other side, Ye Suxin swept her gaze over Tang Yuanmu, then spoke with a different connotation. Judging by the strength of the four people in the hall, she was indeed the strongest. If she wanted to protect Li Qingran, perhaps the other two really wouldn’t dare to make a move.

”Hmph, it’s just the Killing Heart Sect. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? As long as I can bring this Thunder King’s Heart back, our Sky Thunder Valley will surely gain another Heavenly Rank expert. By then, what is there to fear from your Killing Heart Sect?”

However, Ye Suxin’s seemingly retreat-offering words did not make Li Qingran act sensibly. Instead, he said such a thing, instantly darkening the face of the Killing Heart Sect’s genius.

”Truly seeking death, even the immortals can’t save you!”

Ye Suxin was not some kind-hearted lady. To earn the title of ”Su Shou Yanluo,” one can imagine how ruthless she was. Since Li Qingran didn’t know what’s good for him, she had to act personally.

Shua!

Just as Ye Suxin’s cold voice fell, Yun Xiao and Tang Yuanmu only felt their vision blur, and the figure of the white-robed lady instantly bypassed the wooden table, appearing right in front of Li Qingran.

Such speed was even a few fractions faster than Tong Baisha outside, and with a woman performing it, it felt even more ethereal and eerie.

From Ye Suxin’s movement technique, Yun Xiao seemed to see the Flying Flower Empress from the Hidden Dragon Continent. The techniques of the two looked similar but the gap in skill was vast.

As a genius of the Killing Heart Sect, extreme speed and unexpected surprise moves were deeply ingrained in Ye Suxin and her comrades. This strike was almost instinctual, and if it were the Li Qingran outside, under this sudden attack, he might have instantly lost his other arm.

Because in Ye Suxin’s left and right hands, at some point, there were nearly transparent short blades, one of which was swiftly slashing towards Li Qingran’s right hand that was holding the black box.

If this slash hit, given the sharpness of the short blade, Li Qingran’s only remaining right hand would silently be sliced off, rendering him a complete human dried corpse.

It seemed that the weapons of the Killing Heart Sect’s assassins were made of this special transparent material, and such weapons combined with their speed and movement technique were truly defenseless.

Even Yun Xiao thought this time Li Qingran’s right arm was doomed. After all, there was already a huge rank gap between them. With Ye Suxin’s attack in the current state, there was no chance for Li Qingran to reverse the situation.

”Not right!”

However, when Yun Xiao turned his gaze to the face of the Sky Thunder Valley genius, he suddenly noticed Li Qingran showing a deceitful smile, and immediately shouted softly.

Because Yun Xiao knew that under such a sudden mysterious attack, if Li Qingran knew there was no escape, the expression on his face would never be like this, but rather one of despair.

But at this critical moment, Li Qingran could still smile, which indicated that he certainly had a follow-up move, and it was one that could turn defeat into victory.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuanmu, on the other side, was not focusing on Li Qingran’s face but was staring intently at the black box in the latter’s right hand.

Tang Yuanmu knew this was the most critical moment. The black box was about to fall into Ye Suxin’s hands. If he couldn’t snatch it in the first instance, it wouldn’t be easy to snatch it later.

Regarding her own speed and movement technique, Ye Suxin never had any doubts. If the opponent were someone also at the early stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, she might have been a bit apprehensive. But since it was merely the one-armed Li Qingran, she had no worries at all.

Whoosh...

However, at this moment, just as Ye Suxin’s blade was about to slash across Li Qingran’s right shoulder and sever his entire right arm at the shoulder, a strange sound of wind suddenly came from the side, startling her.

”Who is it? Such incredible speed!”

Under such a powerful attack, Ye Suxin couldn’t possibly gamble her life on whether the strike would land on her chest, so she promptly withdrew her hand.

But Ye Suxin could not figure out that with her speed, neither Tang Yuanmu nor Xing from Star could accomplish this. Could there be a third person in this Thunder King Main Hall?

”It’s him?!”

Compared to the onlooker Ye Suxin, Yun Xiao and Tang Yuanmu’s gazes at this moment became somewhat dazed. The so-called bystander sees clearly, and they both saw the change clearly at that moment.

The sudden attack on Ye Suxin from an unexpected quarter wasn’t from Li Qingran, but surprisingly from the corpse beside him, which was originally devoid of any breath, suspected to be the Thunder King, the master of this place.

But earlier, Yun Xiao had clearly sensed that the Thunder King’s corpse was nearly mummified and dead for who knows how many years. How could it still move? Was it a deceitful corpse?

Even Yun Xiao, the reincarnation of the Long Xiao Battle God, couldn’t help but be extremely puzzled seeing this. In his memory, how could a corpse that had been dead for countless years suddenly lash out, and with such formidable power...

”Hahaha, Ye Suxin, I bet you didn’t expect that none of you entering this Thunder King Main Hall today will leave alive!”

Finally revealing his ultimate card, Li Qingran was quite hysterical, his expression turning somewhat sinister. Even though he held intense hatred for Xing before, at this moment, he obviously also vented his anger toward Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu.

In Li Qingran’s view, the master of Sky Thunder Valley was originally a predecessor of the Sky Thunder Valley, so everything in Thunder King Valley belonged to the Sky Thunder Valley, meaning it belonged to him, Li Qingran.

These people barged into Thunder King Valley, coveting the treasures of the Sky Thunder Valley, courting death. But he had the confidence that, at least in this Thunder King Main Hall, everything was under his control.

”With my essence blood, I sacrifice to the elder’s corpse!”

With these ruthless words, Li Qingran’s aura suddenly became chaotic. Then his face turned white, and he spat a mouthful of crimson blood, which eventually fell onto the head and face of that mummified corpse.

The red blood didn’t trickle down; instead, it was slowly absorbed by the corpse. And then, everyone witnessed the mummified corpse, dead for countless years, actually stand up from its seated posture.

”It’s really alive?”

Seeing this scene, whether Yun Xiao, Tang Yuanmu, or Ye Suxin, their expressions turned extremely grim. Especially the self-proclaimed number one genius of the Killing Heart Sect in the hall, they felt something was slipping out of their control.

Previously, Ye Suxin didn’t even help her senior brother, wanting to monopolize the items in the Thunder King Main Hall, because an armless Li Qingran, a late-stage Qi Seeking Realm Xing, and an internally injured Tang Yuanmu were not her match.

But now, the abrupt turn of events made Ye Suxin extremely furious. As a genius of the Killing Heart Sect, she always acted confidently, yet she found such things that strayed from her plans absolutely detestable.
