Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”I... lost?!”

On the shore of Lake Heart Island, Gu Changsheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face was pale, but within he felt an intense unwillingness. Looking at the distant figure dressed in coarse clothes, he seemed unable to accept this reality.

Not long ago, Gu Changsheng hadn’t even heard of the name Yun Xiao, it was only due to the rumors intentionally spread by Su Jian that he started to seriously consider this person supposedly from the Hidden Dragon Continent.

However, even after their brief encounter at the Spiritual Pill Courtyard, Gu Changsheng still didn’t put Yun Xiao truly in his eyes, even though Yun Xiao had already gained some reputation in Lianyun Mountain.

Gu Changsheng was an established top genius of the Tenglong Continent, and Xuanyin Hall was one of the four major superpowers. Among the younger generation of the Tenglong Continent, he was already one of the few standing at the top of the pyramid.

This first genius of Xuanyin Hall had never thought he would be defeated at Yun Xiao’s hands, much less under the circumstance of a joint attack with Su Jian. At this moment, he undoubtedly felt extremely frustrated.

It was Yun Xiao who used powerful and mysterious methods to push Gu Changsheng from his pedestal. He believed that from now on, even if he survived, that figure dressed in coarse clothes might spin in his mind forever, unable to be forgotten.

At this moment, Yun Xiao had no interest in concerning himself with the thoughts of this defeated opponent. After deploying the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon to seriously wound Gu Changsheng, his gaze had turned elsewhere.

Over there, beneath the sparkling Ice Net, was a figure entirely bound in webbing, none other than the first genius of Spirit Fighting Commerce, Su Jian.

Yun Xiao’s eyes held a hint of amusement because he believed this Heavenly Rank Low Level Meridian Techniques inherited from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, was overkill to use on a Tenglong Continent half-step Earth Realm genius; that guy simply couldn’t escape his Ice Net’s constraints.

Crack!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yun Xiao’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly discovered a slight crack had appeared at one corner of his Ice Net, the light sound was precisely the sound of this crack.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the first sound was heard, a series of cracking sounds continued to reach everyone’s ears, causing them to ponder inwardly, sure enough, that first genius of Spirit Fighting Commerce wouldn’t just quietly yield.

Crash!

After a while, when the audience heard a loud shattering sound, they saw ice flowers burst forth from Su Jian’s location, countless ice granules scattered, some even flying onto the faces of the spectators.

In the gaze of the crowd, within the bursting ice flowers, a slender figure became visible, precisely the first genius of Spirit Fighting Commerce, Su Jian.

At this moment, Su Jian undoubtedly appeared extremely disheveled, his brocade robe pocked with holes from the scattering ice granules, his previously tidy hair now disheveled, yet his eyes shimmered with excitement.

No one knew what Su Jian had just experienced, under such icy thread restraint, he had once felt almost frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture.

It was at this time, that the pendant Su Jian had always worn around his neck suddenly emitted an intense brilliance, a surge of incredibly powerful energy erupted, instantly breaking through the seemingly Heaven Rank Meridian Techniques’ Ice Net constraints.

At this moment, Su Jian seemed to understand something because that pendant was something given to him by his teacher, who was the President of Spirit Fighting Commerce, unexpected that it also contained such a hidden and powerful force.

”No... Don’t break!”

However, the next moment, when Su Jian reached out his hand to gently touch the pendant still hanging around his neck, he found an obscure crack had unknowingly appeared on the pendant.

Crack!

Just like the Ice Net restraints earlier, the pendant sparked a crack, and then, within Su Jian’s pained gaze, it suddenly teemed with dense cracks and subsequently shattered into powder.

Such external objects containing some form of power inherently are consumables that can only be used once. That was originally Su Jian’s lifesaving item given by his teacher, the President of Spirit Fighting Commerce, yet it was unexpectedly used against an attack by an Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage genius.

Such consumables can actually withstand a strike from a true Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert; it’s imaginable that Yun Xiao’s Ice Net constraint just exhibited wasn’t much weaker than the attack of some Early Stage Earth Bending Realm experts.

”Yun Xiao, I will never coexist with you!”

Just discovering he had such a special pendant, which turned to powder in the blink of an eye, the rise and fall in Su Jian’s heart was imaginable, but the next moment, he had no more thoughts.

”Roar!”

A furious roar echoed not far in front of Su Jian, and when he looked up, he was shocked to see a massive Ice and Fire Giant Dragon charging towards him with terrifying power.

Su Jian, bound by the Ice Net, hadn’t seen Gu Changsheng being struck by the dragon, and he was still puzzled as to why Gu Changsheng suddenly became so distant from him.

However, Su Jian quickly understood why Gu Changsheng’s aura had become so weak. As he hastily raised his hands to protect his chest, the attack from the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon arrived with a thunderous force.

Boom!

As expected, Su Jian’s strength wasn’t significantly stronger than Gu Changsheng’s. After directly taking the powerful blow from the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, his fate was not much different from that of the top talent from Xuanyin Hall.

The only difference was that Su Jian managed to make a defensive move, which resulted in only his arms being shattered, and his internal injuries were somewhat lesser than Gu Changsheng’s.

”Ugh!”

Yet the power of the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon was overwhelming, and such a violent tremor forced a gush of crimson blood from Su Jian’s mouth, his aura plummeting as his arms bent inward, clearly broken.

For a moment, the entire seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave fell into silence, as most of the talents were still in shock, for this outcome was entirely contrary to what they had anticipated.

A young boy who had just risen to fame on the Tenglong Continent, with late-stage Origin Seeking Realm cultivation, had astonishingly defeated two established top talents from the Tenglong Continent at the brink of the Earth Realm.

Moreover, observing Yun Xiao’s easy demeanor, everyone had ample reason to believe that this plainly dressed boy had not exerted his full strength. And yet, in such a state, he still managed to seriously injure Gu Changsheng and Su Jian.

The two were supposed to be the foremost talents from the most powerful forces on the Tenglong Continent, representing the strongest combat power of the younger generation there. How could they be so effortlessly defeated by that plainly dressed boy?

When an event turns out vastly different from one’s expectations, the impact is unparalleled—even the alliance of Su Jian and Gu Changsheng failed; who else among the younger generation could stand against the boy called Yun Xiao?

Bang!

A loud noise brought everyone back to reality; it was Ye Ku, the genius from the Sky Poison Institute, fighting with Long Xiwawa, the child demon dragon, finally noticing the situation on this side, delivering a heavy blow that forced his opponent to retreat two steps and broke free.

”Hahaha, Junior Brother Yun Xiao, I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me!”

Ye Ku’s laughter echoed throughout the vast space of the seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave, faintly resonating.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiwawa’s face darkened, yet he refrained from making another move, instead retreating two steps and watching the plainly dressed boy with a wary gaze.

In fact, like the other onlookers, Long Xiwawa never imagined such an outcome; the combat strength of that plainly dressed boy clearly surpassed his prior expectations.

He even managed to defeat the combined forces of Su Jian and Gu Changsheng, seriously injuring them both. Long Xiwawa knew that his own strength was not significantly stronger than those two, and if Yun Xiao chose to target him now, his outcome might not differ much.

As the battle reached its conclusion, Si Mo and Duan Wuya exchanged a blow and each stepped back. In their fight, Duan Wuya still held a slight upper hand, and if not for Si Mo stubbornly relying on his Poison Meridian Skill, he might have been defeated sooner.

However, at this moment, a hint of excitement and surprise flickered across Si Mo’s face. Perhaps even he hadn’t anticipated Yun Xiao being able to win against the combined forces of the two top talents.

Si Mo had witnessed Yun Xiao kill Bai Wushuang, but if it were two Bai Wushuangs fighting Yun Xiao, he would have been uncertain about the outcome, and even at the start of the battle, he felt concern for Yun Xiao’s safety.

The battle between the talents from the Heavenly Hospital and the two from Xuanyin Hall also concluded. Previously, Jiang Wanyou, who had been dominating and mocking during the fight, now had a face turning alternately green and white.

He glanced at his senior brother Chángshēng, whose aura was weak, then at the calmly composed plainly dressed boy, involuntarily taking a step back.

At this moment, Jiang Wanyou couldn’t help but feel fortunate that the day they were in the Spiritual Pill Courtyard lodging, a fight hadn’t broken out, and that Xue Ningxiang had arrived in time.

If a brawl had ensued back then, surely all three of them, every one, would have ended up in the same state as Gu Changsheng now.

For Jiang Wanyou, as proud as he was, wouldn’t dare assume his strength surpassed Su Jian’s. That plainly dressed boy, Yun Xiao, was simply pretending to be weak while harboring formidable power. How could a late stage Origin Seeking Realm cultivator be so terrifyingly strong?

On the battle scene of the little island at the lake’s heart, the fights ended in a flash, and all eyes were on that calmly standing plainly dressed boy. Their minds surged with myriad thoughts, unable to articulate the shock this boy had impressed upon them.
