Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Bang!

A loud sound of energy clash rang out; it was Chi Yan, whose form had enlarged, colliding fiercely with Lie Shan, who was at the early stage of the Earth Bending Realm.

Speaking of this man and beast, both were of the Fire Attribute, and Lie Shan, true to his name, had a strong and sturdy form, unmatched in physical strength compared to cultivators of the same rank.

But when Long Xiwawa and his companion saw the retreating figure was indeed Lie Shan from Wuyan Palace, their hearts surged with shock and disbelief as this was beyond their expectations.

No matter how formidable that mouse-shaped Vein Demon was, it was merely a half-step Ninth Rank Vein Demon. Unless it reached the ninth rank comparable to the Earth Bending Realm, there was no comparison between the two.

Moreover, Lie Shan, like Duan Wuya, was known for his physical strength. In the eyes of Long Xiwawa and his companion, it should have been the half-step Ninth Rank Vein Demon being forcefully knocked back in that earlier clash, right?

”Why are all the guys around that kid such extraordinary freaks?”

Overwhelmed by fear, Long Xiwawa turned his gaze to the coarse-clothed figure slowly standing up; from Chi Yan’s earlier strike, he realized his plan was doomed to fail.

If Lie Shan, at the early stage of the Earth Bending Realm, could quickly handle the mouse-shaped Vein Demon, freeing him up to deal with Yun Xiao, it would have been a delightful outcome for all.

But now, the mouse-shaped Vein Demon showed merely a fraction of his physical strength, making Long Xiwawa realize that Lie Shan wanting to win the battle in a short time was nearly impossible.

”Wuya, we have to leave!”

Seeing the situation was unpromising, Long Xiwawa decisively whispered to Duan Wuya beside him, intending to leap out of the nearby window.

For Long Xiwawa knew that, even in the seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave, when the half-step Earth Realm Su Jian and Gu Changsheng teamed up, they were not a match for Yun Xiao, who was then only at the late stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, let alone now.

Long Xiwawa admitted that his strength was similar to Su Jian and Gu Changsheng, but now Yun Xiao had forcefully broken through to the peak of the Seeking Origin Realm!

”If you decide to rob, you must be prepared to be counter-robbed, right?”

With Yun Xiao’s adept hearing, he naturally caught Long Xiwawa’s hushed words; moreover, even if he hadn’t, their actions spoke clearly, prompting him to let out a cold chuckle directly.

Originally, after leaving Xuanyin Cave, Yun Xiao had no intention of becoming enemies with Wuyan Palace, as they hadn’t reached a state of endless enmity. With their powerful background, he valued resolving fewer issues.

Who knew that Long Xiwawa, learning from some source that Yun Xiao had three Wuyan Cloths, brought Lie Shan from the early stage of the Earth Bending Realm here, seeking him out so swiftly.

Yun Xiao wasn’t a merciful saint; he’d dared to kill Dou Ling Commerce’s special envoy, Xia Yong, even in the Qi Seeking Realm. Now, how could he possibly care about a genius from Wuyan Palace?

”Brother, you go first!”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s speed was exceedingly fast, in a flash reaching the window and witnessing his right leg kicking fiercely, Duan Wuya made a firm decision to step aside and shield Long Xiwawa.

Comparatively, though Long Xiwawa’s Meridian Qi cultivation was above Duan Wuya, his physical strength was inferior. Duan Wuya believed that if Yun Xiao’s kick landed, it might not kill his brother, but it would surely be severely injurious.

Known as the second genius of the Fire Tower in Wuyan Palace, he was extremely confident in his physical strength. At least among cultivators of the same rank, he had yet to encounter an opponent who could rival him in physical power.

Although Yun Xiao’s combat prowess was formidable, Duan Wuya didn’t believe that merely one strike would cause him significant harm; surely he wouldn’t be unable to withstand even one kick from this kid?

Bang!

Crack!

Yet, brimming with confidence, Duan Wuya felt a mighty force explode from Yun Xiao’s right leg the very next moment.

Instantly, his body flew out like a disrupted kite, faint sounds reached his ears, and then he was enveloped in extreme pain.

”My leg... my leg...”

No matter how tough Duan Wuya was, when he saw his right leg twisted beyond recognition as he flew backward, he couldn’t help but cry out in agony.

Bang!

Just as Duan Wuya’s voice sounded, he suddenly felt his back slam into something, without time to react, hitting the building across the street with a vicious thud, falling amidst chaos.

It turns out that Duan Wuya, launched by Yun Xiao’s mighty leg strike, collided with Long Xiwawa, who had leaped out first, not having time to dodge, sending both of them tumbling into a chaotic heap.

No matter how strong Duan Wuya’s physical strength was, unfortunately, this time he encountered Yun Xiao, who was even more extraordinary than him. Moreover, Yun Xiao’s right leg possessed the power of the Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein, leading to an obvious outcome.

”What’s going on? What happened?”

”Eh? Those two seem somewhat familiar!”

”Isn’t that Wuyan Palace’s Child Demon Long Xiwawa and Fire Tower’s Duan Wuya? Who dares to beat them into such a state?”

”Could it be Gu Changsheng from Xuanyin Hall?”

”This is going to be interesting!”

”...”

The commotion here was enormous, instantly attracting countless cultivators on the streets of Extreme Yin City. When they clearly saw the unique appearances of those two, some well-informed individuals immediately recognized their identities.

Seeing the miserable state of Long Xiwawa and Duan Wuya, they found it amusing but also began to have many speculations until someone mentioned the name of a certain genius from Xuanyin Hall, and everyone seemed to have a moment of realization.

It’s known that Xuanyin Hall and Wuyan Palace have been adversaries for many years. Although it hasn’t escalated to the extent of fighting to the death, countless cultivators have died at each other’s hands.

Especially among these young geniuses, whenever they meet, they compete fiercely. If there’s anyone on the Tenglong Continent who dares to act against Wuyan Palace’s Long Xiwawa and has the ability to beat him into this state, it’s probably only Gu Changsheng from Xuanyin Hall.

Moreover, this was originally the headquarters of Xuanyin Hall, Extreme Yin City, where teaching Long Xiwawa and Duan Wuya a lesson might not have concerned Gu Changsheng at all.

As cultivators of Extreme Yin City, such an event was undoubtedly something they were happy to witness, so they directly turned their eyes toward the restaurant from which Long Xiwawa and Duan Wuya were thrown out, wanting to see when that number one genius of Xuanyin Hall would appear.

”Eh? It’s not Gu Changsheng!”

However, just a moment later, when everyone saw a figure in rough clothes leap down from the third floor of the restaurant, their eyes turned a bit surprised, especially the one who just mentioned Gu Changsheng, who looked slightly awkward.

”Who is that guy? Isn’t he too bold?”

Since the one who injured Long Xiwawa and Duan Wuya wasn’t Gu Changsheng, the previous assumptions had been completely overturned. Another young man, who seemed not even twenty years old, daring to make a move against the top two geniuses of Wuyan Palace, was beyond ordinary boldness.

”It’s him?!”

In the crowd, a tall, slender youth’s eyes narrowed when he saw the rough-clothed young man jump down, drawing several people nearby over to him.

”Young Master Xiaosheng, do you know that person?”

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, recognizing the youth next to him, spoke with some reverence, since the youth’s background was significant: Nie Xiaosheng, the number one genius of Shenxiao Sect’s young generation!

Shenxiao Sect was the top intelligence sect on the Tenglong Continent. In terms of information, even the four great powers couldn’t compare and often had to pay Shenxiao Sect for the information they needed.

As Shenxiao Sect’s top genius, Nie Xiaosheng was a potential future sect leader, so after recognizing his identity, no one dared to show any disrespect.

Even if your strength surpassed Nie Xiaosheng’s, you’d never know if he held any leverage over you, for Shenxiao Sect was reputed to know everything that occurred on the Tenglong Continent.

The fact was, over ten days had passed since Xuanyin Cave had opened, and most geniuses had already left Extreme Yin City.

However, as a genius of Shenxiao Sect, Nie Xiaosheng had volunteered to stay for a while longer, intending to find out the fate of Xuanyin Hall’s eldest lady.

But Nie Xiaosheng hadn’t anticipated that today, on this street, not only would he see the two from Wuyan Palace, but also that rough-clothed young man who had left such a deep impression on him. Judging by appearances, it seemed that the serious injuries on Duan Wuya were caused by that rough-clothed young man.

”He is Yun Xiao!”

Nie Xiaosheng didn’t adopt the arrogance typical of geniuses like Su Jian and Gu Changsheng. He simply spoke lightly, and as soon as the name left his lips, all the cultivators who heard it gasped in unison.

Truthfully, apart from Nie Xiaosheng, most of these onlookers had never seen Yun Xiao in person. But the name had been buzzing like thunder in these recent times.

About ten days had passed since the end of the Xuanyin Cave expedition, and the events that occurred within it had spread widely among the young geniuses who left Xuanyin Hall. It’s hardly a secret, and many had even heard of the Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit’s existence.

While the Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit was not something these low-level practitioners could worry about, the young man named Yun Xiao had become the hottest topic in Extreme Yin City, and as time passed, the discussions only grew more intense.

Put aside everything else, the fact that Yun Xiao, on the seventh floor of Xuanyin Cave, single-handedly took on and severely injured Su Jian from Spirit Fighting Commerce and Gu Changsheng, the top genius of Xuanyin Hall, was enough to keep people talking for days on end.
