Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Black-clad boy, your aura makes me feel uncomfortable, so I’ll start with you!”

While Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu were on guard, the mummy’s silver gleaming gaze turned to another person, making the two feel a bit puzzled.

Aren’t we all living people? How come Xing’s aura is different? In some sense, isn’t this indirectly insulting Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu?

However, at this moment, the two were not the least bit angry at being insulted. Since the mummy targeted Xing first, perhaps they could use this opportunity to escape the Thunder King Main Hall.

”Hehe, old guy, do you dislike me because I’ve killed too many strange spirits?”

However, when Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu thought Yun Xiao would be scared out of his wits, this black-clad youth said something inexplicable, making them quite puzzled.

”If I’m not mistaken, you aren’t that senior from Sky Thunder Valley resurrected, are you? Or perhaps, you just borrowed this body to give your spiritual wisdom a temporary lodging!”

Before the mummy with flickering eyes could respond, Yun Xiao spoke eloquently. With these words, the mummy’s entire body seemed to tremble, making the two beside him even more puzzled.

”Boy, you’re quite smart, but smart people usually die quickly!”

Regarding Yun Xiao’s words, the mummy neither agreed nor disagreed but instead issued a threat, revealing that his calm exterior had been pierced by Yun Xiao’s words.

”Hmph, a strange spirit reborn by borrowing a corpse, even if you are the spiritual wisdom born from the Thunder King’s Heart, what power can you unleash by relying on this decades-dead carcass?”

At this moment, Yun Xiao finally revealed his suspicions. With his words, the mummy couldn’t help but tremble fiercely, and even silver lightning swept across his body, appearing extremely mysterious.

”What? That guy isn’t resurrected but is actually a... strange spirit?”

The sudden words left Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu stunned. In fact, they had considered this possibility earlier but dismissed the idea because the revived old man was chatting happily with Li Qingran.

But now, with Yun Xiao’s confidence and seeing the mummy’s reaction, Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu had every reason to believe the black-clad youth’s words hit the truth’s essence, hence the mummy’s intense reaction.

”That Thunder King’s Heart in the black box should be your true body, right?”

Yun Xiao pointed to the black box held by the mummy and continued, ”I guess you originally belonged to a Thunder Attribute Heaven King expert. After so many years of evolution, you lucked out and developed some spiritual wisdom. However, this long-dead corpse can’t be a vessel for your spiritual wisdom.”

”So you waited for an opportunity, scattering four Thunder King Tokens, with the main goal of attracting a cultivator with Sky Thunder Valley lineage, but not too strong, or else you couldn’t control them!”

As if witnessing everything firsthand, Yun Xiao’s confidence grew stronger. He continued, ”Using the essence blood of a Sky Thunder Valley descendant, your means allow you to revive this corpse void of blood energy. But as I guess, your current power might be less than ten percent!”

As the Long Xiao Battle God in his previous life, Yun Xiao had a bold guess about the whole situation after his first sentence. Now it seems that while there might be minor discrepancies, it’s still broadly accurate.

These words left the observing Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu dumbfounded. They couldn’t fathom how the black-clad youth guessed this and had a faint sense that these guesses were true.

However, after the initial shock passed, the two developed some unusual thoughts. If the so-called Thunder King’s Heart strange spirit’s power is indeed less than ten percent, does it mean they still have a fighting chance?

”Hmph, even with less than ten percent of my strength, I’m more than enough to handle you, a late-stage Qi Seeking Realm boy!”

The mummy, whose true nature had been revealed, didn’t seem too angry, or perhaps his mummy face showed no emotion. In any case, his words exuded confidence.

Just as Yun Xiao guessed, the spiritual resurrection of the Thunder King’s Heart spirit is different from those with their own bodies. Even if the Thunder King’s Heart’s owner’s strength reached the Heaven Rank Third Realm in life, this spirit is far from reaching that level.

This is akin to the final showdown at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference on the Hidden Dragon Continent, where the strange spirit Jin Wuli, possessing the body that refined it, was eventually slain by Yun Xiao with the Dragon Taming Sword.

According to Yun Xiao’s sensing, the Thunder King’s Heart spirit’s power is about the same as an Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage expert, but as the latter said, even Origin Seeking Middle Stage cultivation makes it easy to deal with the few in the hall.

”Both of you, we’re on the same boat now. Shouldn’t we set aside internal grievances?”

Seeing the mummy’s gaze locked on him, Yun Xiao turned his head in another direction. His words made Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu ponder deeply.

”You don’t actually think that guy would spare you two after killing me, do you?”

Seeing the two of them hesitant to speak, Yun Xiao helplessly spread his hands. This comment finally made them realize that they were indeed in the same boat.

”If we beat that old guy, how do we divide the spoils?”

Tang Yuanmu couldn’t help but feel a bit greedy. However, after saying this, both Yun Xiao and Ye Suxin looked at him as if he were an idiot, leaving him perplexed.

”Of course, it’s based on one’s abilities!”

Nevertheless, Yun Xiao answered, and this response made Tang Yuanmu instantly realize how stupid he had been. Did he really expect those two to just hand over the treasure to him?

”Heh, a few human ants already thinking about dividing the spoils— isn’t it a bit too early?”

Seeing these three blatantly ignore him and directly discuss dividing the loot, the Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart was utterly enraged. Even a Strange Spirit has dignity, doesn’t it?

Boom! Crack!

So after the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit finished speaking, its withered right hand pointed distantly, and three bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking at the three humans.

”This old guy does have some skill!”

Sensing the lightning descending from above, Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu both had this thought, and then each took action, dodging the lightning without being struck.

This dispelled their fear. It seemed that the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s power wasn’t as formidable as the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, just slightly stronger than themselves.

”Hmm?”

As Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu were having these realizations, they caught sight of an unbelievable scene—the black-clad youth called Xingchen didn’t dodge the silvery lightning like they did but allowed it to strike directly at him.

Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu clearly saw Xingchen just slightly bend forward to avoid letting his head get hit by the lightning, and the bolt instead accurately struck beneath his shoulders on his back.

”I thought he had some skills, but he’s really just a paper tiger!”

Seeing this, both Tang Yuanmu and Ye Suxin had the same thought. They realized they had overestimated him.

Tang Yuanwu sneered inwardly, thinking this kid had made him look so foolish before; it turns out he only borrowed the courtyard’s Thunder Array’s help but had no real skill.

As for Ye Suxin of the Killing Heart Sect, she showed disdain, even regretting teaming up with such a person. How could someone who couldn’t even dodge a bolt of lightning have the right to fight alongside her?

”Wrong!”

However, just when Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu thought Yunxiao would be in miserable shape under the lightning strike, they noticed that the lightning ravaging his back slowly disappeared, as if swallowed by some mysterious force.

Especially when they saw that the young man called Xingchen didn’t show the slightest disturbance in his aura from the rampaging thunder, they realized how laughable their previous thoughts were, even feeling a kind of face-slapping.

This wasn’t a matter of being unable to dodge the descending thunder; he just wanted to absorb the Thunder Power. Such a method was so many times superior to their panicked dodging of lightning attacks.

”Could this human boy also possess the Thunder Attribute?”

In stark contrast to the shock of the two, a brilliant silver gleam flashed in the eyes of the dry corpse, and the entire body seemed to come alive with excitement.

After all, the most effective power for this body was Thunder Attribute Power, and a human body possessing Thunder Attribute Power was the fundamental reason the Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart tried to devour Li Qingran’s blood energy before.

For the three humans before him, the Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart initially just wanted to kill them as fast as possible. But upon discovering that the black-clad youth possessed a strong Thunder Attribute aura, it was undoubtedly a great surprise to him.
