Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Bang!

In the midst of an intense battle, Yun Xiao and the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit clashed again, but this time the latter only took two steps back. It seems it had understood Yun Xiao’s physical strength and wouldn’t retreat as before.

Even so, the two onlookers watched with their hearts pounding, because they knew if they took a heavy hit from the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, it wouldn’t be as simple as taking just two steps back.

”Opportunity!”

Ye Suxin, coming from the Killing Heart Sect, was most skilled at seizing opportunities. At this moment, seeing the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit pause slightly, her eyes lit up as her transparent double daggers swiftly thrust towards its back.

The Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit was indeed powerful, but Ye Suxin had her own set of skills. Don’t be fooled by her earlier failure to pierce even its eyelids; that was only because it caught her off guard.

At this moment, Ye Suxin didn’t perform an ordinary stab, but a killing strike developed by the Killing Heart Sect. Combined with her Earth Rank Middle Level dual daggers, the power it could unleash was beyond imagination.

Clang! Clang!

Screech! Screech!

At first, two crisp sounds came, as if Ye Suxin’s daggers had hit an iron plate. But then two more sounds followed, like a cat scratching a board or something hard scraping glass, very piercing.

At this critical moment, Ye Suxin’s daggers finally stabbed into the back of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, and her hands moved swiftly, cutting a cross on its back.

But that wasn’t all. After carving a cross, before the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit could react, Ye Suxin moved her hands again, and within a single breath, drew several more lines below the cross.

If someone were behind the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit at this moment, they would see that Ye Suxin’s consecutive strikes formed a clear ”Kill” character, extremely eerie.

”Barrier-breaking Killing Heart Array, activate!”

A soft voice came from Ye Suxin’s mouth, and then both Yun Xiao and Tang Yuanmu clearly felt a chilling aura rise from this Killing Heart Sect genius, seemingly initiating some kind of secret technique.

Following that, the ”Kill” character carved on the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s back shone brightly, with each stroke exuding a strange coldness, connecting with the aura from Ye Suxin.

In fact, all of this happened in the blink of an eye. From Yun Xiao and the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s frontal clash to Ye Suxin executing the so-called ”Barrier-breaking Killing Heart Array,” the situation changed within less than ten breaths.

Screech! Screech! Screech!

Several strange sounds echoed continuously. Yun Xiao, standing in front of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, and Tang Yuanmu, positioned to the side, didn’t know what transpired underneath those sounds.

On the other hand, Ye Suxin showed a hint of delight. This was actually her first time using the ”Barrier-breaking Killing Heart Array,” and even she was unsure if it would succeed. Unexpectedly, it achieved an unexpected effect.

Indeed, in the critical moment of a life-and-death battle, breakthroughs are easiest to achieve. For instance, the execution of this strong meridian technique is a different kind of breakthrough, considering usually, Ye Suxin couldn’t perform this Barrier-breaking Killing Heart Array.

At this time, several cuts had already opened on the back of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit. The once clear ”Kill” character was nearly indistinguishable, as if someone had used two hooks to rip its skin and flesh.

The state of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit seemed rather terrifying and ferocious. Engaged in a frontal battle with Yun Xiao, it probably never expected to suffer such a big loss, so its gaze instantly turned to Ye Suxin.

And with this turn, Yun Xiao and Tang Yuanmu immediately saw the terrifying condition on the back of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Tang Yuanmu, a loner demon, instinctively felt fear towards this method used by the Killing Heart Sect, though he didn’t know much about its deeper intricacies.

In contrast, Yun Xiao’s expression was a bit more solemn because he realized it was too simplistic to compare a Killing Heart Sect genius like Ye Suxin with an ordinary early-stage Origin Seeking Realm cultivator like Tang Yuanmu.

”It should be a strong meridian technique derived from a meridian array!”

With the memories of a Holy-grade Pulse Refining Master from a previous life, Yun Xiao instantly noticed some insights, and the so-called meridian arrays could only be executed by Meridian Refining Masters.

Even though Ye Suxin wasn’t a Meridian Master, she performed something resembling a meridian array, suggesting that the Killing Heart Sect had some truly exceptional talents.

Such a powerful Meridian Technique, capable of even slicing open the flesh of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, it is imaginable that the grade of this technique probably reached at least the Earth Rank Middle Level.

Since Ye Suxin could use this Barrier-breaking Killing Heart Array to slice open the flesh of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, doesn’t it mean it could also easily slice through her own flesh? At this moment, the level of danger Ye Suxin posed in Yun Xiao’s mind was undoubtedly rising sharply.

”Damn human woman, I want you dead!”

The Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, having suffered such a setback unexpectedly, was truly furious beyond measure, even though it had already decided to abandon this body and seize Yun Xiao’s new body. Its subconscious majesty could not be easily challenged.

As a Strange Spirit with the memories of the former Thunder King, this Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit originally thought it could easily deal with these three humans. Yet it had not expected such an outcome.

A young boy only at the Late Stage of the Qi Seeking Realm, relying on Ancestor Vein Power to reach the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, and a young human woman had caused it such distress. The Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit felt its majesty severely challenged.

In response to the words of anger from the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, Ye Suxin, who had already retreated several meters away, could not help but show a smug cold smile. She believed that with her speed, even if the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit was fast, it could not harm her with a single strike from such a distance.

In the midst of her busy maneuvering, Ye Suxin even glanced at Yun Xiao, who wore a serious expression, as if she was showing off. After all, the earlier Barrier-breaking Killing Heart Array was truly impressive, not less remarkable than Yun Xiao’s performance.

Whoosh!

However, at this moment, there was a sound of wind within the Thunder King Hall, and immediately Ye Suxin saw a blur in front of her as a withered figure suddenly appeared, startling her greatly.

”How can it be so fast?”

The confident Ye Suxin’s expression changed drastically because the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit appeared right before her, and she couldn’t comprehend how its speed was beyond her imagination.

Even Yun Xiao was taken aback, but the next moment he understood certain things. Perhaps what the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit displayed was the true ”Zombie Body Technique”?

Once, when Yun Xiao was on the Hidden Dragon Continent, he used this movement technique to unexpectedly avoid countless deadly strikes, but compared to the current Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, his technique was akin to a Little Witch meeting the Great Witch.

Or rather, there was an essential difference between the two. Yun Xiao’s Body Meridian Techniques were merely imitating a zombie, while the body occupied by the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit at present was a genuine zombie. The two were incomparable.

Therefore, none of the three present saw any movement from the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s body. It seemed to have leapt into thin air, instantly appearing before Ye Suxin.

However, the zombie before them was different from ordinary zombies, and the difference lay in the character ”zombie”. The Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s body was not stiff. After approaching Ye Suxin, its withered right arm extended straight towards the genius of the Killing Heart Sect.

”Hmph, with such speed, you cannot harm me!”

Even though the situation changed rapidly, as a renowned genius of the Killing Heart Sect, Ye Suxin did not panic. Instead, in the midst of her busy maneuvering, she let out a cold snort and, at the last moment, retreated to the back.

The reaction and speed of the Killing Heart Sect were indeed exceptional. Ye Suxin’s retreat was perfectly timed, as even human ability has its limits, and the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s thrust too would have an endpoint.

At this moment, Ye Suxin thought that whether she dodged to the left or right, the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s right arm could swipe over, leaving her unable to escape.

Only by retreating like this, after the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s arm reach its limit, her crisis would naturally be resolved. There is no denying that calculating various outcomes in an instant, this genius of the Killing Heart Sect was extraordinary.

”Watch out!”

However, just as Ye Suxin retreated two steps, thinking the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit could no longer reach her, she heard a loud shout, which made her heart tense up.

Ye Suxin heard clearly; the voice came from the black-clad young man named Xing. However, at this moment, she couldn’t figure out why this person would shout such a warning?

But the next instant, Ye Suxin had no time for such thoughts because she suddenly discovered that the right arm of the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit had detached from the shoulder and shot towards her chest at lightning speed.

It was Yun Xiao who shouted the warning, not because he had any affection for Ye Suxin, but in this moment of fighting side by side, if Ye Suxin were killed with one blow, he would lose a strong ally.

Compared to these young talents of the Tenglong Continent, Yun Xiao, who had lived two lives, undoubtedly had a deeper understanding of Strange Spirits. Although this was a spiritual wisdom formed by the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit, it had seized the original Thunder King’s body, making this body vastly different from ordinary human bodies by nature.
