Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Thud!

No doubt Liu Qingchen’s fiery Ancestral Vein Fire is indeed formidable. Under its intense burn, the outer layer of ice crystals enveloping his fist directly melts away, dripping to the ground with a gentle sound.

Yet witnessing this scene, the cold smile in Yun Xiao’s eyes grows even more pronounced. With a slight movement of his left hand fingers, an intangible fluctuation of energy is transmitted through the space to Liu Qingchen’s wrist.

”What’s going on?”

Just as Liu Qingchen was absolutely confident he could melt all those ice crystals, he suddenly realized that these seemingly ownerless ice crystals were undergoing transformation again, causing his face to change drastically.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Poof!

Another wave of freezing sounds emerged, and Liu Qingchen watched in horror as his previously unrivaled Ancestral Vein Fire was suddenly extinguished with a poof.

That was the Ancestral Vein Fire fused with the Eighth Rank Advanced Vein Demon Demon Fire, which allowed Liu Qingchen to stand out among the young disciples of Lianyun Mountain’s Heavenly Hospital, securing the second genius position.

Who would have expected that today he would suffer successive defeats at the hands of a newly joined youth of Lianyun Mountain, and at this moment, Liu Qingchen already had no time to think about such matters.

Because the Ice Cold Qi that extinguished his Ancestral Vein Fire was rapidly spreading, quickly surpassing his elbow, heading towards Liu Qingchen’s right shoulder.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Aside from using his Ancestral Vein Fire, Liu Qingchen couldn’t think of any other way, but his attempts to ignite the Ancestral Vein Fire three times to burn the ice crystals were all extinguished by the cold air, causing him to sweat profusely with anxiety.

At this moment, Liu Qingchen had long lost the feeling of pain from a broken right wrist, replaced by sheer terror, knowing that if no solution was found, even his life might be in danger.

”Senior Brother Wushuang, save... save me!”

As the Ancestral Vein Fire proved ineffective, Liu Qingchen couldn’t help but call for help, and not far away, Bai Wushuang, his expression changing slightly, was already rushing over with Mo Qing.

”Let her go!”

However, at this moment, as Bai Wushuang’s eyes flashed, a cold voice reached his ears, letting him know who had arrived—none other than Yun Xiao, who had made Liu Qingchen suffer so much.

Whew...

Yun Xiao’s voice was not the only thing; as Bai Wushuang turned around in shock, he saw a seemingly not-too-strong right leg fiercely kicking towards him.

”Humph, do you really think I’m like Liu Qingchen, that waste?”

Being taken down by Yun Xiao in a single move, Liu Qingchen had already become worthless in Bai Wushuang’s mind. As the words fell, a concentrated Meridian Qi had already surged around him, determined to face Yun Xiao’s right leg head-on.

Bai Wushuang, a peak talent of the Seeking Origin Realm, naturally had strength and cultivation far superior to Liu Qingchen, confident in having the backing of meridian qi two small realms higher, he believed he wouldn’t be much weaker than Yun Xiao in terms of physical strength.

Physical strength isn’t always purely about muscle power; with meridian qi enhancement, it can unleash greater force, just like Bai Wushuang at this moment.

Unfortunately, like Liu Qingchen earlier, Bai Wushuang had no idea the poorly dressed youth before him was a monstrous talent beyond comparison to the top talents of Tenglong Continent.

Bang!

Yun Xiao’s right leg finally collided with Bai Wushuang’s horizontally thrust right elbow, producing a resounding echo. Right afterward, the first genius of Heavenly Hospital was forcibly pushed back three steps by a powerful force, his face filled with terror.

”This... this can’t be!”

In the clash of physical strength, and with the help of peak Seeking Origin Realm meridian qi, he was actually pushed back three steps by a mere middle-stage youth! Bai Wushuang couldn’t accept it no matter what.

Yet Yun Xiao paid no heed to Bai Wushuang’s roar; taking advantage of the opportunity to repel him, he had pulled Mo Qing over in one swift motion, and at this moment, Mo Qing was finally free from Bai Wushuang’s clutches.

”Yun Xiao, is it really you?!”

For some reason, the dazed Mo Qing suddenly gained clarity the moment Yun Xiao grabbed her arm, yet just after saying those few words, her eyes were overtaken by a pinkish daze.

”Yun Xiao, I miss you so much!”

With her mind muddled, Mo Qing finally expressed her most hidden thoughts to Yun Xiao. After speaking, she extended her hands to hug Yun Xiao’s waist, pressing her body tightly against him.

”Senior Sister Mo Qing, you...”

The sudden warmth and softness, coupled with Mo Qing’s head constantly rubbing against his chest, even Yun Xiao’s thick skin couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment, utterly at a loss for what to do.

”Wait!”

Seeing Mo Qing suddenly raise her head as if she was about to do something even more drastic, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but be startled. He reached out to push her away by half an inch, then his eyes narrowed as if he finally discovered something unusual.

”Is this... an aphrodisiac?!”

Although Yun Xiao had only been intimate with Shen Xingmou once in this lifetime, his soul came from the Long Xiao Battle God of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. As the saying goes, you might not have eaten pork, but have you not seen pigs run? With just a glance, he identified the cause.

”You all... deserve to die!”

Even with Yun Xiao’s composure, at this moment a wave of hatred rushed to his mind, and he secretly felt fear. If he had arrived a step later, Mo Qing, who was drugged, might have already fallen victim to a horrible fate. Even if she survived, the scar would be irreparable.

”Senior Brother Wushuang...”

After Yun Xiao’s voice seemed to emerge from the depths of hell, Liu Qingchen couldn’t hold on anymore. He saw that the ice crystal had already spread below his right shoulder, desperately shouting again.

Whiz!

Upon hearing this sound, Bai Wushuang no longer dwelled on the frustration of being repelled three steps by Yun Xiao. He moved swiftly and appeared beside Liu Qingchen.

”This kind of Ice Cold Power!”

However, upon sensing this extreme Ice Cold Power up close, Bai Wushuang’s face turned extremely grim. To be honest, if one were to compare Ancestral Vein Fire alone, his might not necessarily be above Liu Qingchen’s.

Thus, Bai Wushuang realized that even if he summoned the Ancestral Vein Fire to melt the extreme ice crystal, he might not be able to accomplish it.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, as Bai Wushuang saw the ice crystal about to cross Liu Qingchen’s right shoulder, a gleam of ruthlessness flickered in his eyes. He reached to his waist, and a three-foot green light long sword appeared in his hand out of thin air.

”Senior Brother Wushuang, what do you intend to do?”

Seeing Bai Wushuang’s action, Liu Qingchen was startled, seemingly understanding a certain possibility. He instinctively retreated a step, the result being hard for him to accept.

”Life is ultimately more important than an arm!”

Bai Wushuang ignored Liu Qingchen’s startled cries. As he spoke coldly, his right hand gently sliced, and Liu Qingchen’s ice arm detached instantly.

Crash!

The fallen ice arm shattered, devoid of support. It broke apart instantly, scattering blood and flesh along with it, making the task of finding a Meridian Refining Master to reconnect it extremely difficult.

”Ah!”

The pain of losing an arm was far more intense than the wrist break earlier. Liu Qingchen could no longer endure, letting out a horrific scream that echoed throughout the valley.

At that moment, Liu Qingchen might have felt regret. His initial intent was to curry favor with Senior Brother Wushuang, never expecting to lose his right arm in the process.

And all of this stemmed from a young boy who had just joined Lianyun Mountain. Realizing this reason, Liu Qingchen endured the throbbing pain in his right shoulder, his gaze towards Yun Xiao filled with extreme hatred.

”Yun Xiao, I will kill you, I must kill you!”

To think that losing a limb would drastically reduce his power, endangering his position as second talent in the Heavenly Hospital. Liu Qingchen wished he could rush over and bite the coarse-clad boy to death.

”Just losing an arm is not enough!”

Feeling Mo Qing clinging to him, Yun Xiao’s anger reached its peak. This kind of vile person, if left alive, could harm more innocent women. Killing intent rose in his heart.

”Senior Brother Wushuang, kill him! Kill him!”

Despite his resentment, Liu Qingchen dared not take action himself, relying on Senior Brother Wushuang, believing that Bai Wushuang, at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, could easily kill Yun Xiao, avenging his lost arm.

Boom!

Suddenly, from the distant northern sky, a powerful energy wave erupted, shaking the entire earth. Bai Wushuang’s expression changed slightly, but then turned into a gleeful smile.

The unexpected event caused Yun Xiao to feel a bit confused, but regardless of the circumstances, he had made up his mind to bring these hypocritical scoundrels to justice, ridding the Tenglong Continent of two major threats.

”That place... Treasure Mountain?!”

In contrast, Bai Wushuang had more knowledge about the Refining Treasure Hall. As he looked towards the northern sky, sensing the earlier energy wave, his elation grew stronger.

”Luck is truly on my side. Encountering Treasure Mountain opening, it seems today’s matters will have to be settled another day!”
