Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Ever since the Thunder King Main Hall, Tong Baisha had harbored a deadly intent towards the young man in black. His sole purpose for waiting outside was to claim Yun Xiao’s life.

Of course, there was also the thought of acquiring the treasures on Yun Xiao, so upon seeing Yun Xiao and those others about to move, Tong Baisha couldn’t help but make his move, and when he did, it was with the momentum of thunder.

The Killing Heart Sect is most adept at covert ambushes, and striking while Yun Xiao and the others were at each other’s throats was the most appropriate moment.

Thinking that after killing this kid called Yun Xiao, the treasures within the Thunder King Main Hall would also be his, Tong Baisha couldn’t help but feel inexplicably excited. As for Xu Huang and the others, no matter how their cultivation was higher than his and his junior sister, he didn’t take them seriously.

However, if Tong Baisha knew that Xu Huang and the others were from the Spirit Fighting Commerce, who knows if he would still have such confidence. But at this moment, he didn’t have the mind to think about all that.

The sudden sword seemed to catch Yun Xiao completely off guard, so in the next moment, everyone saw the narrow sword in Tong Baisha’s hand pierce directly into Yun Xiao’s throat vitals, yet the young man in black did not make any movement.

”Not good!”

But at the next moment, just as a sense of anomaly arose in everyone’s heart, Tong Baisha’s face suddenly changed drastically because the expected spurt of blood did not appear, and the sensation in his hand didn’t indicate piercing through flesh and skin.

At this moment, flashes of thoughts raced through Tong Baisha’s mind like lightning. He realized that in his hurried attack, he had overlooked the most unusual tactic of this young man in black.

Recalling the previous situation before the Thunder King Main Hall, Yun Xiao had used a single afterimage to be the first to enter, almost making the onlooking cultivators’ eyes explode.

Clearly, this time, Tong Baisha’s unexpected and determined ambush assassination only struck the afterimage that Yun Xiao had left behind, having no impact on his main body whatsoever.

Half a month ago, when Yun Xiao was still at the late stage of the Qi Seeking Realm, he didn’t pay much attention to Tong Baisha. Let alone now, when Yun Xiao had strengthened over tenfold compared to half a month ago.

Although Tong Baisha’s ambush was stunning and sudden, the Earth Rank Low Level soul Yun Xiao, even if not looking this way, could still sense the sudden ambush aura immediately and reacted right away.

In everyone’s eyes, Yun Xiao seemed spooked and motionless, but in actuality, his true body had already reached another location, and this place held deadly danger for Tong Baisha.

The reason Tong Baisha inwardly cried ”not good” was that at this moment, he had already discovered a tremendously familiar aura suddenly appearing behind him, and it belonged to Yun Xiao.

As it turned out, Yun Xiao had left an afterimage behind, while his true body had instantly arrived behind Tong Baisha. This time it was the genius of the Killing Heart Sect who was caught in an unexpected situation.

Tong Baisha relied on his background in the Killing Heart Sect, where those dark killing skills were supposed to be lethal, yet unfortunately for him, he encountered Yun Xiao, a Chosen Son thousands of times more demonic, so his fate was destined to be miserable.

Yun Xiao didn’t have the slightest good impression of these geniuses from the Killing Heart Sect. Even though he spared Ye Suxin once, Tong Baisha dared to seek his life again, leaving Yun Xiao no room for compromise.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, Yun Xiao, appearing behind Tong Baisha, had his right leg invisibly grow thicker, and then he whipped a fierce kick towards the back of the Killing Heart Sect genius’s right rear brain. If this kick connected, Tong Baisha would surely have his brain splattered and die instantly.

After all, Yun Xiao’s physical strength at this moment was comparable to an Eighth Rank Low Level Vein Demon, especially this right leg empowered by the Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein Power; even legitimate Eighth Rank Low Level Vein Demons would suffer greatly if they took it.

Having his ambush backfire, Tong Baisha had no way of dodging the incoming attack, so everyone watched in shocked silence as the leg approached the back of his head ever so closely.

Swoosh!

However, just at that moment, a nearly transparent short blade suddenly flashed from the side of Tong Baisha’s neck, its target clearly Yun Xiao’s whip-like incoming right leg.

This happened in a flash, the transparent short blade arrived swiftly and without the slightest warning, similar to how Tong Baisha had unexpectedly appeared behind Yun Xiao just moments earlier.

These rapid thoughts led everyone to guess who might have suddenly intervened. Who in the field could and would assist Tong Baisha, and with such capability? Perhaps only another genius from the Killing Heart Sect, fair-handed Ye Suxin.

The one who indeed saved Tong Baisha was Ye Suxin. Being fellow sect members, she couldn’t stand idly by and watch him die under Yun Xiao’s kick, so she intervened and struck where it was crucial.

If Yun Xiao were to insist on sweeping his whip leg towards Tong Baisha’s head, the sudden short blade would have pierced into his ankle first. No matter how strong the human body is, it cannot compete with sharp weapons.

Ye Suxin’s sudden action was unexpected even for Yun Xiao, but his reaction was extremely fast. Knowing that no matter how strong his right leg was, it couldn’t clash head-on with the sharp short blade, so in the next moment, he changed his move.

With his considerable increase in strength, Yun Xiao’s mastery over his own power had reached an almost perfect level. The change in his attack as he swept through was as smooth and effortless as flowing water.

Clang!

Seeing Yun Xiao’s right ankle quickly rotate, the tip of his foot lightly touched the blade surface of the short blade that Ye Suxin thrust out. An immensely powerful force surged out, causing the entire right side of this Killing Heart Sect genius’s body to suddenly heat up, nearly making her unable to hold onto the short blade.

”Damn it, how has this guy’s physical strength become so formidable?”

Ye Suxin barely held onto the short blade without letting it fly out of her hand, but a storm was already raging in her heart. After all, she had seen Yun Xiao’s physical strength in the Thunder King Main Hall, and at that time, Yun Xiao wasn’t as strong as he appeared now.

”It seems that in the past half month, he indeed had some extraordinary fortune!”

As a distinguished genius of the Killing Heart Sect, Ye Suxin’s reaction was fast, and she had reason to believe that Yun Xiao’s rapid enhancement in physical strength was surely due to treasures obtained from the Thunder King Main Hall, or perhaps it was the Thunder King’s Heart itself.

However, regardless, with Ye Suxin’s intervention, although she had suffered a small loss, Tong Baisha’s seemingly doomed situation was ultimately averted. Nevertheless, the near-death experience because of a lapse in caution left this Killing Heart Sect genius a bit angry and embarrassed.

In Tong Baisha’s mind, his recent fatal crisis was merely due to Yun Xiao’s calculated move catching him off guard, nearly falling into a trap. As a genius at the early stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, he was unwilling to admit that he was inferior to Yun Xiao.

Especially because of the earlier move, Yun Xiao’s previously concealed aura was now exposed without a doubt. If it’s just the peak of the Qi Seeking Realm, it certainly couldn’t make Tong Baisha back down.

”Junior sister, Yin Extreme Killing Skill!”

Seething with anger, Tong Baisha shouted, causing some cultivators who had heard of the powerful techniques of the Killing Heart Sect to change their expressions slightly and unobtrusively take a few steps back.

Although the Killing Heart Sect acts mysteriously like a divine dragon, its methods have, over the years, become somewhat known to the public and are recognized by many.

The so-called Yin Extreme Killing Skill is a special technique of the Killing Heart Sect, and this method can be used for divided advance and joint attack. For example, if two strong members of the Killing Heart Sect team up for a mission, and the enemy is too strong, they can use this Yin Extreme Killing Skill to achieve an effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Or perhaps this is a special meridian technique the Killing Heart Sect cultivators can employ once their presence is revealed, as they are most skilled in the art of assassination from the shadows rather than direct confrontation.

At this moment, following the earlier unsuccessful ambush, Tong Baisha realized that the concealed assassination techniques of the Killing Heart Sect were no longer of much use. Thus, he shouted, intending to use the Yin Extreme Killing Skill in collaboration with Ye Suxin to kill Yun Xiao here.

It’s worth mentioning that during this swift and rapid battle, Xu Huang, Xu Dian, and other strong members of the Spirit Fighting Branch in Yuyang City didn’t take action at this moment.

Perhaps Xu Huang wanted to see what cards Yun Xiao held, or perhaps he wanted both parties to suffer so he could reap the benefits as a bystander. With the Flying Beast Pulse Demon present, even if that boy had wings, today he would definitely find it difficult to escape.

On the other hand, another genius from the Killing Heart Sect, Ye Suxin, after a moment of internal struggle, also quickly regained her composure, staring at Yun Xiao for a while before finally uttering a low and deep voice.

”Yun Xiao, if you hand over the Waist Storage to me, I, Ye Suxin, guarantee that you can leave unharmed!”

No one knew what Ye Suxin was thinking about, but as she said this, she cast a glance at Xu Huang and the others. However, she didn’t see the fleeting disdain in the eyes of the Spirit Fighting Branch’s chairman in Yuyang City.

Over the past half month, Xu Huang naturally came to know the identities of those two Killing Heart Sect geniuses. However, given the powerful background behind him, he naturally wouldn’t have too many scruples over two young geniuses from the Killing Heart Sect.

But Ye Suxin was unaware of Xu Huang and his group’s background. To her, as long as her identity as a genius of the Killing Heart Sect was revealed, these ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare to say much.

In Ye Suxin’s mind, this was the last path Yun Xiao could choose, and when saying this, a sudden sense of satisfaction rose within her, reminiscent of how Yun Xiao spoke to her in the Thunder King Main Hall back then, eventually even taking her Thunder King Token.
