Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Is this guy really from the Hidden Dragon Continent?

At this moment, many human geniuses had such a thought in their minds. After all, in their minds, even the top experts from a lower plane like the Hidden Dragon Continent would still be at the bottom when they came to the Tenglong Continent.

Who would have known that such a young man, having come to the Tenglong Continent for less than two years, would already have surpassed these top geniuses.

At the very least, these geniuses all knew that, in a one-on-one fight, it was absolutely impossible for them to be a match for a Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit, let alone injuring it.

Even Su Jian and Gu Changsheng did not have the slightest confidence to battle a Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit at their peak. Those who could fight across ranks were exceptionally rare on the Tenglong Continent.

Top geniuses from the super forces like Su Jian could barely hold their own against some ordinary Early Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivators.

But even that was merely holding their own. As time went by, the gap in Meridian Qi would become apparent, and those half-step Earth Realm geniuses would surely be defeated in the end.

But at this moment, Yun Xiao not only held his ground against that Ninth Rank low-level Meridian Spirit, but also used a Five-Colored Light Beam to inflict a gruesome wound on the Strange Spirit Leader. Such an achievement could probably be considered the greatest among the younger generation on Tenglong Continent.

Even Su Jian and Gu Changsheng, who hated Yun Xiao to the core, had to admit that Yun Xiao’s strength far surpassed theirs. During the previous battle with them, he hadn’t even exerted his full strength.

”If Yun Xiao could kill that Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit Leader, wouldn’t today’s situation truly have a chance to be resolved?”

Some others even thought of this possibility, and secretly prayed for Yun Xiao, completely forgetting that they had previously wanted to join forces to snatch the Illusion Yin Grass from Yun Xiao.

When someone’s strength is within reach, these Tenglong Continent geniuses would not easily give in and concede. This was the main reason why they were previously swayed by Su Jian to attack Yun Xiao together.

But now, having witnessed Yun Xiao actually being able to face a Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit Leader head-on and even injuring it, they realized the extent of their gap with the young man in plain clothes.

It could be said that Yun Xiao used his exceptional strength to completely subdue these Tenglong Continent geniuses. Or perhaps they knew that without Yun Xiao, they would die on the seventh level of Xuanyin Cave. Everything happened for a reason.

If Yun Xiao won, then these geniuses would have a glimmer of hope for survival. If Yun Xiao lost to the Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit Leader, or was even killed directly, then with the Strange Spirit Leader freed, dealing with them would likely be as easy as crushing dry weeds.

”Kid, since you dare to destroy my physical body, you will use your own body as compensation!”

Feeling the small hole on his left shoulder, the Strange Spirit Leader roared with anger, and when this low voice was heard, everyone had an unusual expression. This guy, did he see Yun Xiao’s new physical body and want to conduct another body seizing?

It seemed that after the previous clash, the Strange Spirit Leader had realized plainly that this human youth’s physical body was likely much stronger than the one he currently owned.

No kidding, able to fight a Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit at the Seeking Origin Realm Late Stage without suffering significant losses, one can only imagine how powerful that physical strength is?

This body, originally belonging to Yue Han, was seized by the Strange Spirit Leader when he had no other choice, leaving his combat strength stagnant at the Ninth Rank low-level, which greatly displeased him.

But if he had a body whose strength surpassed that of Yue Han’s, the Strange Spirit Leader believed his combat power could increase yet further. The human youth before him was undoubtedly such a perfect body.

”Old guy, you do have an eye for talent, but my body, Yun Xiao’s, is not for the taking!”

Hearing the covetousness in the Strange Spirit Leader’s voice, Yun Xiao responded expressionlessly, though he seemed to have forgotten that this body, belonging to Yun Xiao, was indeed seized by him in the role of the Long Xiao Battle God.

Of course, now Yun Xiao’s soul and body had fused perfectly, and the soul of the Long Xiao Battle God enabled Yun Xiao, originally a waste from the Shang Family, to shine brightly on both the Hidden Dragon Continent and the Tenglong Continent, doing justice to this body.

Yun Xiao himself still hadn’t figured out many things about his body. How could he possibly let someone seize it easily? Anyone wanting his body ought to first seek permission from the soul of the Long Xiao Battle God!

”If you’re unwilling, then I will personally take it!”

The Strange Spirit Leader seemed to have calmed his mind, as streams of water flowed from a certain part of his body, ultimately converging on the wound on his left shoulder.

After just a few breaths, the ghastly little hole was almost invisible. The Strange Spirit Leader’s mastery of Water Power was evidently profound.

”Can’t drag on any longer!”

Yun Xiao’s expression did not improve in the slightest as he sensed the increasing number of dead human geniuses around him. As their blood energy was invisibly absorbed beneath the lake, he knew that time was extremely pressing.

”If you don’t want to die, follow me and charge out!”

Seeing the opponent was something indestructible, Yun Xiao, despite having many tricks, knew that truly dealing with the Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirit was not something that could be accomplished in a short time, so he immediately changed his approach.

In fact, Yun Xiao still had some real hidden cards unused, like the energy of Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu. If he harnessed the power of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, breaking through to the true Earth Bending Realm was not impossible.

But only Yun Xiao knew that besides this Ninth Rank low-level Alien Spirit Leader, perhaps beneath the surface of the lake, there might be another Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit waking up at any time.

Once he used Xiao Wu’s power, he could explode with extremely strong combat power in a short time, but once that power dissipated, he would undoubtedly enter a period of weakness.

By then, let alone a Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit, even those human geniuses who had issues with him would likely add insult to injury. Yun Xiao had no choice but to keep his strongest card for last.

Moreover, having fought the Alien Spirit Leader for such a time, Yun Xiao had already somewhat grasped the spirit’s fighting style; if he wholeheartedly desired to escape, it might not be difficult to manage.

The reason Yun Xiao shouted those words was not out of much compassion for those Tenglong Continent geniuses who had attacked him earlier; he was only considering himself.

If these human geniuses all died on Lake Heart Island, allowing the endless blood energy to be absorbed and attracted by the Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit beneath the lake, it would inevitably awaken that fierce Heavenly Spirit early. By then, everyone present, including Yun Xiao, would perish without a burial place.

”Dreaming of leaving, is it so easy?”

Yun Xiao’s loud shout naturally reached the Alien Spirit Leader’s ears. Seeing him coldly respond, the next moment, his handprint shifted, sending a massive water arrow shooting towards Yun Xiao’s back with impressive might.

Clearly another use of Water Power, this water arrow appeared exceedingly soft, but everyone knew that once it struck the body, one would likely die instantly, body shattered and bones fractured.

Whoosh!

The massive water arrow moved extremely fast, and in the next moment, everyone clearly saw that the coarse-clothed youth did not dodge, allowing the water arrow to pass through his body, causing a stir of hearts.

”It’s an afterimage!”

However, the next moment, some keen-minded individuals instantly realized that they had seen Yun Xiao’s Shadow Clone technique more than once. Repeatedly witnessing shocking events made them accustomed to it.

Yet this time, the Alien Spirit Leader was finally deceived by Yun Xiao’s Shadow Clone. When it realized, the coarse-clothed human youth’s figure had already appeared behind a half-step Ninth Rank Strange Spirit.

”Careful!”

Even knowing it was a Strange Spirit, unlikely to be easily killed by a human cultivator of the same level, witnessing the mysteriousness of the youth, the Alien Spirit Leader couldn’t help but issue a warning.

However, the warning came too late for the half-step Ninth Rank Strange Spirit suppressing the Sky Poison Institute’s top talent Ye Ku without a chance to fight back, as it suddenly felt a surge of blazing heat from behind.

Then it sensed its Water Attribute Strange Spirit body continuously shrinking.

”Ancestral Vein Fire!”

At this moment, Yun Xiao was employing the Fire Attribute Power within the Ancestral Vein in his right arm, a power different from any flame in the world. In just a moment, the Strange Spirit’s figure shrunk by a circle.

Previously, the Fire Attribute of the Five Elements Light Beam couldn’t smash the water sphere Meridian Technique of the Ninth Rank low-level Alien Spirit. That was partly because the Alien Spirit Leader was already at a Ninth Rank low-level tier, and secondly, its manipulation of Water Power was far stronger than other Meridian Spirits.

But the Strange Spirit fighting Ye Ku now was merely at a half-step Ninth Rank level, strictly speaking, Ninth Rank Advanced. Facing Yun Xiao, whose strength had risen to the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, it was naturally tragic.

The blood-red Ancestral Vein Fire wrapped around the entire body of the half-step Ninth Rank Strange Spirit, only emitting a puff of water vapor before Ye Ku could clearly see that the Strange Spirit which had just suffocated him was now lifeless.

Moments later, seeing the coarse-clothed youth stretch out his hand, appearing to retract the blood-red flame, Yun Xiao’s palm revealed a delicate blue crystalline object.

”Half-step Ninth Rank Strange Spirit Crystal!”

Given Ye Ku’s experience, he could instantly recognize it as the most crucial crystal of the Strange Spirit, and for their half-step Earth Realm geniuses, a half-step Ninth Rank Strange Spirit Crystal was undeniably greatly tempting.
