Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”There must be some mistake!”

Liu Gen, having come to his senses, would under no circumstances believe that a mere Qi Seeking Realm Peak individual would have combat ability above his own. He subconsciously thought his previous loss was just a trick from his opponent.

”Hehe, you shouldn’t get distracted at this moment!”

However, just as Liu Gen was gathering his Meridian Qi and intending to perform a formidable Meridian Technique, a soft chuckle suddenly resounded by his ear, catching him off guard.

Because in the eyes of Liu Yu and Liu Gen, that fellow named Yun Xing was still at his original position, so why was the voice so close?

”Is it an afterimage?!”

One was an Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage expert, the other an Advanced Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Master. In an instant, they noticed that the figure still standing at its original place seemed odd.

That was obviously Yun Xiao deliberately summoning a Shadow Clone. From the earlier strike, he had already assessed the opponent’s strength, indeed weaker than Tong Baisha, who had died at his hands. In that case, there’s no need for such hassle.

Swish!

A dark light angrily attacked from behind Liu Gen’s head. This Liu Family expert at the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage responded swiftly, and at this critical moment, he pulled out a heavy weapon from his Waist Storage and faced the dark light.

The weapon Liu Gen summoned was a massive Wolf Fang Club, showcasing his preference for physical martial arts, hence his lingering frustration from the earlier fleshly confrontation.

When Liu Gen turned around and swung the Wolf Fang Club towards the dark light, he naturally saw through the dark light’s essence, and immediately felt relieved.

Because it was obviously a child’s toy, a wooden sword. At this moment, Liu Gen thought it was obviously a jest from his opponent; such an inconspicuous wooden sword, under the smash of his Earth Rank Low Level Wolf Fang Club, would likely break into several pieces instantly, wouldn’t it?

Whenever the Dragon Taming Sword first appears in front of people, its full deceptiveness achieves extremely pleasing effects, just like now.

When Yun Xiao saw Liu Gen’s massive Wolf Fang Club swinging towards him, an odd smile appeared in his eyes, and without dodging or avoiding, continued to slash towards the Wolf Fang Club with his wooden sword.

Liu Yu, fighting not far away, naturally held the same thoughts as Liu Gen, except he couldn’t understand why, knowing the disparity in grade between the wooden sword and the Wolf Fang Club, the seemingly shrewd Yun Xing would be so unfaltering.

However, this led Liu Yu to know that perhaps in the next moment, the wooden sword in Yun Xing’s hand would be smashed into pieces, and under a powerful smash from Liu Gen, his head might instantly explode into fragments, wouldn’t it?

Crunch!

Just as the Liu family’s two were full of confidence, they both heard a gentle sound. Especially Liu Gen, who suddenly felt a slight tremor in his hand, then a breeze skimmed past his neck, as if nothing had happened.

”What?”

From afar, Liu Yu’s vision showed something different; he plainly saw the wooden sword and Wolf Fang Club intersecting before the wooden sword skimmed past Liu Gen’s neck, yet why did nothing happen?

The current scene was not without incident; barely a breath later, a thin line appeared on the massive Wolf Fang Club, followed by almost half of the clubhead falling to the ground, making a loud sound.

”Elder Liu Gen, you...”

When Liu Yu’s horrified gaze returned from the fallen clubhead, he instantly saw a scene that left him terrified to the extreme, and his words contained a trace of unspeakable fear and trembling.

Because at this moment, a bloody thin line was emerging from Liu Gen’s neck. Seeing such a situation, even amidst his terror, Liu Yu immediately understood what had happened.

”What kind of weapon is that, so sharp?”

At this moment, Liu Yu couldn’t help but ponder only this thought. He had already realized that the moment just now wasn’t as uneventful as it seemed; it’s just that the wooden sword in Yun Xing’s hand was excessively sharp, causing the result to manifest a breath or two later.

Bang!

Liu Gen, whose neck had been grazed by the Dragon Taming Sword, naturally couldn’t expect his head to remain properly on his shoulders. With a loud noise, blood flashed, and his round head was directly propelled by the blood spurting from his neck cavity to the room’s ceiling.

”No! No!

Witnessing such a bloody scene made Liu Yu’s heart sink to rock bottom. Now he finally understood what naive fearlessness felt like; that guy named Yun Xing couldn’t be judged by surface cultivation.

Liu Gen, a dignified elder of the Liu Family, a genuine Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage expert, was Liu Yu’s greatest dependency. Without this Origin Seeking Realm Liu Family Elder, what could a mere Qi Seeking Realm Early Stage Liu Family young master accomplish?

But Liu Yu, despite his calculations, never anticipated that Yun Xing, who had been obscure in the outskirts of Lushan City, possessed the prowess to kill an Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage expert as easily as slaughtering a chicken. He seemed to see his impending demise.

Although Yun Xiao had used some clever tricks to kill Liu Gen with one sword stroke just now, even so, based on his displayed speed alone, Liu Yu knew he had no chance of survival.

”Yun... Yun Xing, I... I am the Princely Heir of the Liu Family. If you kill me, the Liu Family... the Liu Family won’t spare you!”

Seeing Yun Xing wave the wooden sword in his hand, already turning his gaze onto himself, Liu Yu felt his teeth chattering but still managed to finish his false bravado.

Liu Yu knew he was absolutely no match for his opponent, so he could only rely on the background of the Liu Family. At least within the confines of Lushan City, this background proved useful in several life-threatening crises before.

”Hmm? Why does this sound kind of familiar?”

Upon hearing Liu Yu’s bluffing words, Yun Xiao’s heart stirred and immediately recalled how those from Tong Baisha or the Spirit Fighting Commerce tried to threaten him in the past.

But even the likes of the Killing Heart Sect and the Spirit Fighting Commerce, such formidable entities, didn’t scare him, so why would Yun Xiao be wary of a mere little Liu Family in Lushan City?

Since this guy dared to challenge him, he was courting death. He was no kind-hearted saint. When it came time for decisive actions, he wouldn’t hesitate.

”The Liu Family, eh? If they dare come, I wouldn’t mind wiping out the Liu Family along with you!”

A cold voice came from Yun Xiao’s mouth. Upon arriving on the Tenglong Continent, wiping out families under his hand was not unheard of. Judging by the strength of those just now, the strongest in the Liu Family might only be at the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage, which was no trouble for him.

After all, Yun Xiao hadn’t even showcased his full strength yet. Once all his hidden techniques and tricks were revealed, even an expert at the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage would be within his ability to battle.

”No... don’t kill me!”

As he saw his opponent approaching with killing intent, Liu Yu no longer appeared as the high-spirited eldest of the Liu Family, but was instead fearfully seated onto the ground, his body incessantly trembling.

”Hmm?”

Just when Yun Xiao was about to slash Liu Yu with one sword, his arm suddenly stiffened, and then his gaze was directed outside the door, seemingly sensing some extraordinary presence.

”Since you’re here, there’s no need to hide any longer, is there?”

Holding the Dragon Taming Sword, pointing at Liu Yu’s critical throat, Yun Xiao suddenly issued these words, making this Liu Family heir’s eyes shine brightly, wondering if it was indeed his Family Head father following him here.

However, Liu Yu seemed to have forgotten that due to his underestimation of the enemy this time, he didn’t bring anyone overly conspicuous, only Liu Gen, a Liu Family Elder at the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage, and even his father was unaware of this matter.

But at this critical moment of life and death, an unexpected change occurred, which was a pleasant surprise for Liu Yu. As long as the newcomer wasn’t Yun Xing’s friend, he seemed to have a chance to escape alive.

Swish!

Yet, just as Liu Yu was plotting his fanciful escape, the wooden sword that had stopped suddenly sliced lightly, whereupon Liu Yu, with a face full of horror, raised his hand to cover his neck, but was unable to stop the blood that spurted from it.

”Am I going to die?”

Perhaps even when he was about to die, Liu Yu never thought that he would meet such an end, especially when the hope for survival he just embraced was abruptly extinguished, plunging him into an abyss. He was filled with extreme reluctance.

But no matter how unwilling Liu Yu was, his throat was severed by the Dragon Taming Sword, which assured that there was no chance of reversal. At this last moment, filled with fear and hatred, his gaze was fixed upon Yun Xiao, only to find that Yun Xiao didn’t even glance at him.

Bang!

A sound of a head hitting the ground echoed, Liu Yu finally couldn’t sustain and collapsed onto the ground, and in his final eye closure, he witnessed two somewhat familiar elders appear outside the room door.

They seemed to be the Second Elder Wu Jia and Fifth Elder Liang Li of the Meridian Refining Master branch in Lushan City. A thought flashed through Liu Yu’s mind, but alas, it was his last thought, and whatever would transpire next, he was destined not to know.

Regarding Liu Yu’s death, Yun Xiao naturally had no concern whatsoever. Now his gaze remained fixed on the door, observing those two elders who had arrived together, finally gaining some understanding.

”These two old fellows, it seems they haven’t completely given up on the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, huh!”

Yun Xiao’s thoughts raced as he recognized the two elders; one was the Second Elder Wu Jia of the Meridian Refining Master association, and the other was the original owner of the Eighth Rank Low Level Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, Fifth Elder Liang Li!

It appears that today, in this small courtyard room, there is likely to be a fierce battle!
