Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Junior brother, I’ll hold off those two guys. Find an opportunity to escape!”

Seeing the impatience growing on Long Xiwawa’s face, Luo Fusheng turned his head and whispered to Xiao Ming, causing the latter to show a look of reluctance.

”Senior brother, I won’t leave. If we die, we’ll die together!”

Xiao Ming was also quite bold. At this moment, he couldn’t possibly agree to escape alone, especially since Luo Fusheng alone couldn’t match Long Xiwawa, let alone face two opponents.

So Xiao Ming knew that Luo Fusheng was ready to fight for his life. Against two geniuses, the odds were not in their favor. His words carried a trace of determination.

”Junior brother, don’t be impulsive!”

Luo Fusheng gently patted Xiao Ming’s shoulder and said in a low voice, ”It’s one thing to die in battle, but if I get implanted with the Flame Demon Seed by Long Xiwawa, you must get the message out, or the consequences will be unimaginable!”

This was perhaps Luo Fusheng’s greatest worry. He wasn’t afraid of death, but he was afraid of being implanted with the Flame Demon Seed, which was said to control people’s minds. Under its control, he might do something unforgivable to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and he would be condemned even beyond death.

”Senior brother...”

Hearing Luo Fusheng’s words, Xiao Ming felt torn inside. Then, out of the corner of their eyes, they saw Long Xiwawa move slightly, making their hearts sink.

”The time’s up. Have you made your decision?”

Long Xiwawa took a step forward. At this moment, he suddenly saw Luo Fusheng push Xiao Ming to the entrance of the great hall.

”Courting death!”

Seeing this, Long Xiwawa flew into a rage. He thought he had already given the two of them a chance. Since they were still stubborn, his last bit of patience had finally run out.

”Wuya, stop him!”

Seeing Xiao Ming being pushed towards the hall’s entrance, Long Xiwawa shouted and wanted to strike at Luo Fusheng. However, at this moment, the first genius of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was no longer in his sights.

Bam!

Duan Wuya had been guarding the entrance. Hearing his brother’s shout, he was about to strike Xiao Ming but was unexpectedly hit by a sudden force from the side, forcing him to deal with it first.

A loud sound echoed, and Duan Wuya staggered to the side. As a genuine peak of the Seeking Origin Realm genius specialized in physical strength, the only one capable of forcing him back a step in this hall was, of course, Luo Fusheng.

”Go quickly!”

It was Luo Fusheng who struck, first propelling Xiao Ming out to attract Long Xiwawa’s attention, then rushing to the entrance with lightning speed, only in this way could he ensure Xiao Ming safely left the hall.

However, just as Luo Fusheng shouted and Xiao Ming decided not to hesitate anymore, a short figure suddenly appeared at the hall’s entrance. Who else could it be but the number one genius of Wuyan Palace, Long Xiwawa?

”Hmph, did you really think such a simple trick could escape my grasp?”

Seeing the second genius of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain abruptly stop in his tracks, Long Xiwawa sneered. Although his stature was much smaller than Duan Wuya’s, his presence felt even more terrifying to Xiao Ming.

”Sigh, well, I guess it’s time to fight to the death?”

Seeing the chance he had painstakingly created disappear due to Long Xiwawa’s swift reaction, Luo Fusheng had no other way.

Bang!

At that moment, a blazing force struck from Luo Fusheng’s side. It was Duan Wuya of the Fire Tower, unwilling to accept being forced back a step, who now attacked fiercely.

Although Luo Fusheng’s strength was slightly above Duan Wuya’s, both were peak geniuses of the Seeking Origin Realm, and the disparity wasn’t too great.

On the contrary, in such close combat, Duan Wuya, who had always cultivated physical strength, couldn’t be easily dealt with in a few moves, let alone help Xiao Ming on the other side.

”An ant-like thing doesn’t even qualify for me to use the Flame Demon Seed!”

Long Xiwawa, after glancing at Xiao Ming, spat out in anger. It was Luo Fusheng he wanted to control, the one who might become the next Mountain Master of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Since that was the case, there was no point in sparing Xiao Ming’s life.

Xiao Ming had only reached the late stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, nearly two realms lower than the half-step Earth Realm Long Xiwawa, so how could he possibly be a match?

Bam!

In just three moves, Xiao Ming was hit hard in the back, spewed blood from his mouth, and his aura plummeted, leaving him collapsed on the ground, unable to get up for some time.

”This is the price for not knowing one’s place!”

Long Xiwawa let out a disdainful cold snort, then flicked his right finger, sending a glimmer of fire toward the immobile Xiao Ming. It was the Ancestral Vein Fire, and if this flame struck, Xiao Ming’s life would surely be in grave danger.

”Junior Brother!”

Seeing Xiao Ming in imminent peril from the corner of his eye, Luo Fusheng’s eyes nearly split with fury, but due to this sudden distraction, he gave Duan Wuya an opening to land a heavy blow, rendering his right arm numb and filling his heart with despair.

Swoosh!

However, at that very moment, a beam of light suddenly shot in from the hall’s entrance, aimed precisely at the Ancestral Vein Fire directed at Xiao Ming. Its speed was incredibly fast.

”Truly overestimating one’s abilities!”

Long Xiwawa was somewhat surprised by the sudden turn of events, but he had immense confidence in his own Ancestral Vein Fire, believing that unless those Earth Realm elders arrived, Xiao Ming’s life could not be spared.

Snap!

In the varied gazes of the onlookers, the beam of light finally hit Long Xiwawa’s Ancestral Vein Fire accurately, making a strange sound, yet it seemed like the fire’s trajectory wasn’t altered.

In a mere flash of light, in the next moment, Long Xiwawa’s Ancestral Vein Fire intertwined with the beam and struck Xiao Ming, to the brink of making Luo Fusheng close his eyes in despair.

Yet in the following instant, a miraculous scene unfolded. The force that struck Xiao Ming didn’t claim his life but instead bounced twice off him, falling to the side.

”What is that?”

Everyone’s gaze turned to the item that bounced twice, even Long Xiwawa was startled, and Luo Fusheng was surprised and delighted.

It seemed to be a small water sphere, within which a tiny flame was enveloped, precisely the Ancestral Vein Fire Long Xiwawa had summoned earlier.

Ironically, Long Xiwawa’s extremely potent Ancestral Vein Fire was completely wrapped by the water sphere, thus the fire hadn’t even touched a single strand of Xiao Ming’s, which delighted Luo Fusheng.

”How is this possible?”

As the person involved, Long Xiwawa’s face was gloomy while his heart surged with waves of shock. When that light point rushed in, he hadn’t sensed it was something of the Water Attribute.

Yet at that moment, Long Xiwawa didn’t pay much attention, believing as long as it wasn’t an Earth Realm expert’s technique, any Water Attribute substance touching his Ancestral Vein Fire would evaporate instantly without a trace.

But now, not only wasn’t the water sphere evaporated by the Ancestral Vein Fire, it even enveloped it, leaving no doubt as to which was stronger.

”Could it be that Elder Ge Wanli from Demon Mountain is here?”

In that moment, after the shock, Long Xiwawa’s face changed color. Initially, he hadn’t considered that Ge Wanli would come here, given different statuses, those Earth Realm elders shouldn’t be competing for more important Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?

But in the next instant, Long Xiwawa dismissed the speculation, replaced by deep amazement, even tinged with a hint of fear, his feet involuntarily moving to Duan Wuya’s position.

”Is it him?!”

Step back a couple of steps from Duan Wuya’s attack, Luo Fusheng finally saw the slender figure walking in from the hall entrance, rubbing his eyes, unsure if he believed what he saw.

The one walking slowly into the hall was a youth dressed in coarse clothing, carrying a peculiar wooden sword, with a feeble red mouse perched on his shoulder, completely unlike someone of significant repute.

Yet, such a seemingly ordinary figure made the entire hall fall silent, Dragon Xiwawa who had been extremely arrogant moments ago showed vigilance, as if faced with a lifelong enemy.

”Tsk tsk, it’s quite lively here!”

The coarse-clothed youth with the wooden sword finally walked into the hall, looking at the chaos after battle, he couldn’t help but express his wonder, next turning his gaze onto the talented Luo Fusheng of Demon Mountain.

”Brother Fusheng, why is it every time I see you, you’re in such a sorry state?”

Yun Xiao looked at the unsteady breath of the talented Demon Mountain figure, recalling the scene when they met on the second layer of Xuanyin Cave, teasing with a jibe.

”Ah, we don’t want this either. It’s those two guys from Wuyan Palace, relentlessly after us, attempting to plant the Flame Demon Seed to control the entire Demon Mountain!”

Regarding Yun Xiao’s jest, Luo Fusheng couldn’t possibly be annoyed, instead felt grateful for the arrival of strong support, briefly summarizing the events in the hall.

”Is that so?”

Upon hearing this, a sliver of harsh light flitted across Yun Xiao’s eyes, though his acquaintance with the talented Luo Fusheng of Demon Mountain was limited, yet let it not be forgotten, Demon Mountain still had Xu Hongzhuang who almost became his wife.

Although the Lingyun Sect Master’s previous actions made Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang impossible, Yun Xiao couldn’t be entirely ruthless towards this simply victimized special maiden, after all, she was a pitiful person.
