Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Stand still, you bastard!”

His inner arrogance made Liu Qingchen utterly incapable of accepting such an ending. He shouted loudly, then activated his movement technique. In his view, even though they were separated by several yards, the boy would be caught by him in an instant.

But as Liu Qingchen’s figure had just leaped out, he suddenly saw a silver flash from Yun Xiao’s shoulders, and then Yun Xiao’s whole figure shot forward dozens of yards in an instant, leaving him dumbfounded. Such speed was simply unreachable.

Ever since Yun Xiao possessed the Thunder Dragon’s Wings, his speed gained a certain degree of enhancement. Although his flying time relying on the Thunder Wings wasn’t too long, his speed on the ground was absolutely stunning.

At least Liu Qingchen, a cultivator at the Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage, could only dream of matching Yun Xiao’s speed. Coupled with Yun Xiao’s current concern for Mo Qing’s safety, he had pushed his speed to the limit. Liu Qingchen could only see a gray silhouette flashing like lightning.

”Senior Sister Mo Qing?!”

Yun Xiao had no time for thoughts like that. As he just approached the valley entrance, he saw a man and a woman in pursuit and escape, respectively. The figure in black at the front was Mo Qing.

In the next moment, Yun Xiao recognized the figure chasing Mo Qing as Bai Wushuang, the top genius of the Heavenly Hospital. Seeing Mo Qing’s white arm with its sleeve torn off from a distance, a blaze of anger rose from the depths of Yun Xiao’s heart, and his eyes were filled with endless murderous intent.

Even though Yun Xiao pretended not to recognize his feelings for Mo Qing, with their multiple life-and-death battles on the Hidden Dragon Continent, they’d developed a relationship that surpassed ordinary friendship, one might even call them life-and-death partners.

With Yun Xiao’s insight, looking at the situation between the two, how could he not understand what had happened?

At this moment, he had no time to ponder why the top genius of the Heavenly Hospital would act so despicably. He only knew that unless he dismembered these scoundrels who dared to humiliate Mo Qing, it would be impossible to quell the wrath in his heart.

”Ah!”

As Yun Xiao’s hostility surged, Mo Qing, still several yards away, felt her aura freeze momentarily, and her figure trembled slightly, finally being caught up by Bai Wushuang.

To be honest, allowing Mo Qing to run such a distance also left Bai Wushuang somewhat angry. But when he caught Mo Qing again and saw a coarse figure with a wooden sword from afar, his anger vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of pleasure.

Bai Wushuang was inherently a hypocrite, and the hint of restraint he demonstrated on normal days was an act for his Vice President teacher. In reality, he was a thoroughly depraved person.

If everything continued to develop smoothly, Bai Wushuang’s dark side might never show, unless one day he found no rivals on the Tenglong Continent.

However, the repeated appearances of Mo Qing and Yun Xiao prematurely unleashed Bai Wushuang’s dark side. As the saying goes, jealousy can change a person. At this moment, Bai Wushuang was driven by such intense jealousy, disregarding everything else.

Or perhaps Bai Wushuang was extremely confident, thinking that within the valley of the Refining Treasure Hall, a boy who seemed to have just broken through to the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage posed no threat to him at all. Even more so with Liu Qingchen, also at the Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage.

Bai Wushuang wanted to claim Mo Qing under such circumstances. He wished to see the look of anger and helplessness on the boy who seemed to have feelings for Mo Qing.

”Release her, or die!”

Seeing that Mo Qing seemed to be temporarily harmed only in her sleeve but not physically injured, Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief as he uttered a cold voice, but the response he got was just Bai Wushuang’s cold smile.

”Yun Xiao, do you know who you’re talking to?”

As the top genius of the Heavenly Hospital, Bai Wushuang always carried a sense of superiority among the younger generation. Even when facing Ye Ku from Sky Poison Institute, he could stand equally, not losing any ground.

This boy who had just joined Lianyun Mountain, what qualifications did he have to speak to him like this? Bai Wushuang couldn’t help but stifle a laugh at such a self-destructive attitude.

”I’ll say it again, release her, or... die!”

Yun Xiao maintained his cold demeanor, but as he repeated the last three words, he slowly drew the wooden sword from his back, swinging it lightly in the air, producing a subtle sound.

”Junior Brother Qingchen, kill him!”

Naturally, Bai Wushuang wasn’t frightened by Yun Xiao’s words. Seeing a certain figure approaching, he commanded sharply. To him, Yun Xiao was not worth the effort.

”You, and you, will both pay a heavy price for today’s actions!”

Yun Xiao’s sword tip turned, pointing towards Liu Qingchen who was approaching, but his words still only elicited cold laughter from the two eminent talents.

In their eyes, this kid is just making a bluff. An ordinary wooden sword, can it really give you the strength to rival a cultivator at the late stage of the Seeking Origin Realm?

”Prepare to die!”

Just now, Liu Qingchen, who was thwarted by Yun Xiao’s methods and forced into the valley, urgently wanted to regain face in front of Bai Wushuang. Hence, he shouted loudly and then lunged fiercely towards Yun Xiao.

In fact, the understanding of Yun Xiao by these two was rather superficial. For example, Yun Xiao’s killing of Xia Yong, the Special Envoy at the peak of the Seeking Origin Realm from the Spirit Fighting Commerce headquarters, was merely by using the Thunder King Seal from Thunder King Valley and not his strength.

Therefore, very few people knew the details of Yun Xiao’s battles, and even less understood this wooden sword in his hand. In their view, even if the wooden sword was mysterious, how could it be stronger than some Earth-rank level weapons?

Having witnessed Yun Xiao’s powerful Meridian Qi Sword techniques earlier, Liu Qingchen, misguidedly, discarded his Meridian Qi cultivation, which was a realm higher, intending to overwhelm Yun Xiao with physical strength.

Regarding Yun Xiao’s physical strength, this was again a category that Liu Qingchen didn’t quite understand. Thus, when he saw Yun Xiao’s body rushing towards him, a cold smile couldn’t help but pass through Yun Xiao’s eyes.

Talking about Liu Qingchen, although he appeared tall and slender, the body refinement technique he cultivated was quite remarkable. At least within Lianyun Mountain, at the same rank, only Bai Wushuang and Ye Ku could match him in physical strength.

Thus, Liu Qingchen was extremely confident in his physical strength, believing that under this full-force punch, if Yun Xiao dared to take it head-on, he would surely end with broken bones and torn muscles, reclaiming the face he lost moments ago.

Swoosh!

As Liu Qingchen expected, the coarse-clothed youth in front of him not only didn’t dodge but also didn’t use the wooden sword in his right hand. Instead, he slowly extended his left hand to meet his approaching right fist.

”The consequence of arrogance is more than you can bear!”

Seeing this, Liu Qingchen seemed to have already seen the dawn of victory. His right fist had already clashed with Yun Xiao’s left fist, emitting a loud crash.

Bang!

Crack!

First, there was a loud bang from the fist collision, followed by the sound of bone cracking. Bai Wushuang, who was originally watching with confidence not far away, suddenly had his eyes narrowed, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

Because Bai Wushuang discovered that Liu Qingchen, who was reputed for his physical strength, had his right wrist bent at an abnormal angle under a powerful impact, clearly it was broken.

The bone cracking sound just now was evidently caused by Liu Qingchen’s fractured right wrist. But no matter how hard he tried, Bai Wushuang couldn’t understand why the slender body of the coarse-clothed youth contained such astonishing power, making even Liu Qingchen not his match.

”The power of this Cold Profound Stone Crystal is indeed extraordinary!”

Even Yun Xiao himself was surprised by the burst of power from his left arm at that moment, but soon he understood that such a result could not be unrelated to the Earth Rank Middle Level Cold Profound Stone Crystal he refined the previous day.

One must know that the Cold Profound Stone Crystal contained ice cold power, which was absorbed by Yun Xiao’s left arm Ancestor Vein, along with an essence of Earth.

In such circumstances, Yun Xiao’s physical strength, which was originally comparable to an Eighth Rank Middle Stage Vein Demon, undoubtedly became even stronger in his left arm, almost not inferior to the Earth attribute of his right leg.

Even if Liu Qingchen’s physical strength was formidable, he was merely esteemed among ordinary cultivators. Meeting a demon like Yun Xiao, such an outcome was inevitable.

Crack! Crack!

However, as Liu Qingchen’s right wrist throbbed in pain, involuntarily retreating several steps, he suddenly noticed that from his right fist, there swiftly emanated an extremely cold power, which in the blink of an eye wrapped his entire right fist in crystalline clarity.

With such ice cold power, Liu Qingchen hardly felt the severe pain on his wrist, but this did not bring him joy. Instead, it birthed an intense unease because the ice cold power was excessively peculiar.

As the second talent of the Heavenly Hospital, Liu Qingchen was naturally a genuine Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Refining Master. Although he just had a breakthrough, his mastery over the Ancestral Vein Fire was already refined to perfection.

Boom!

So in the next moment, Liu Qingchen decisively made a move, causing a smudge of orange-yellow flame to flicker from his right arm, and then cover his glazed ice-encased fist at the thought of his heart.

Liu Qingchen was extremely confident in his Ancestral Vein Fire. This was a hard-earned Beast Fire obtained by his teacher from the body of an Eighth Rank Advanced Vein Demon, which was then fused with his Ancestral Vein Fire, making it several times stronger than the Ancestral Vein Fire of ordinary Meridian Refining Masters.
