Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

According to the intelligence Nie Xiaosheng obtained, the young man named Yun Xiao came from the Hidden Dragon Continent. In just three short years, he has survived countless life-and-death crises and ultimately escaped them with ease.

There were even times when he managed to counter-kill enemies far stronger than himself, such as the Special Envoy Xia Yong from the headquarters of Douling Commerce. At that time, Yun Xiao was merely at the Early Stage of the Seeking Origin Realm.

From that intelligence, Nie Xiaosheng also clearly learned that Yun Xiao had offended quite a few forces, including Thunder King Valley, the Killing Heart Sect, the Xiao Family, the Chu Family, and even the top force Douling Commerce.

If you add Wuyan Palace, Thunder Sound Mountain, and the Zhao Family now, Yun Xiao has offended about half of the top and first-class forces on the Tenglong Continent. Is this something a human could actually do?

Despite offending so many large forces and sects, that rough-clothed youth is still living well, which already says something.

Although there were various reasons for Yun Xiao’s previous escapes, one thing Nie Xiaosheng could be sure of is that Yun Xiao never fights battles he can’t win.

Just like outside Thunder King Valley before, the difference between Yun Xiao and that Douling Commerce Special Envoy Xia Yong was nearly a Great Rank. If he wasn’t confident, he would have long used the Thunder Wings to escape.

Given this, it’s clear that at this moment, with the precondition of having flying power, Yun Xiao didn’t flee but provoked several parties to join forces, which indicates he has enough confidence.

But only someone who has carefully understood Yun Xiao’s past like Nie Xiaosheng could guess such clues, while others like Jia Tianshu beside him were puzzled by Yun Xiao’s provocative actions at this moment.

No matter how they looked at it, Yun Xiao had no chance of winning. Once surrounded by those powerful opponents, even trying to use Thunder Wings to fly away might not be an easy task.

”Since you are so eager to die, we’ll gladly oblige!”

Leng Buyan, who generally disliked speaking, stepped forward, his aura surging, which indicated his mindset and left Yu Kuzhan and Zhao Huaixian without the slightest hesitation.

In an instant, the three major powerhouses formed a triangular formation, encircling Yun Xiao in the middle. Now their only concern is that Yun Xiao might escape using the Flying Meridian Techniques, and since this kid is so overconfident, he will have to pay the price for his arrogance.

”They really joined forces!”

Seeing this scene, everyone sighed in their hearts. Regardless of whether Yun Xiao can escape this danger today, at least after this battle spreads, this name will likely resound throughout the Tenglong Continent.

Who on the Tenglong Continent, at only the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, dares to confront the might of three Late Stage Earth Bending Realm powerhouses joining forces? This courage alone is beyond what ordinary people can compare.

”Hmm?”

However, just as everyone was pondering how Yun Xiao would handle the alliance of the three powerhouses, Leng Buyan’s expression changed slightly, and then his figure moved subtly, already appearing in front of Yun Xiao.

Whoosh...

Leng Buyan struck out with a palm, and his hand went through ”Yun Xiao’s” chest without a hint of blood, clearly indicating it was not Yun Xiao’s true body.

”It’s an afterimage!”

Many onlooking cultivators who had seen Yun Xiao’s shadow clone before reacted immediately, but whether it was Leng Buyan, Yu Kuzhan, or Zhao Huaixian, it was their first time facing Yun Xiao head-on, and this unexpected technique momentarily distracted them.

”Be careful!”

The quickest to react was Leng Buyan, whose heart was filled with alarm. He unconsciously shouted a warning, though it was unclear who exactly he was warning.

Shu!

But the next moment, everyone was no longer confused because a sound of something rapidly cutting through the air suddenly arose. Then, one of the Wuyan Palace powerhouses standing in place, an honorable cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, already had his head flying high.

The blood gushing from this Wuyan Palace powerhouse’s neck resembled a red fountain, appearing extremely gruesome and causing a nearby Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm powerhouse to shudder abruptly.

But Yun Xiao reacted with incredible speed. After beheading one of the Wuyan Palace members, he swiftly brandished the Dragon Taming Sword.

The dazed Wuyan Palace powerhouse reacted fairly quickly; in that critical moment, he pulled out a knife-shaped weapon from his Waist Storage in an attempt to block the swing of the Wooden Sword.

”Quick, dodge, you can’t block it!”

Duan Wuya, the genius of Wuyan Palace standing not far away, saw the Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm powerhouse’s reaction and was terrified out of his wits, letting out a furious shout similar to the one Zhao Ling from the Zhao Family gave earlier.

Unfortunately, this time Yun Xiao was prepared, and the Wuyan Palace powerhouse was far inferior to the Late Stage Earth Bending Realm Zhao Huaixian. So, even though he reacted, in the next moment, he immediately felt a lightness in his hand, followed by a gentle breeze.

The Earth Rank Advanced weapon, under the Dragon Taming Sword, seemed like a piece of tofu, easily sliced into two pieces.

Then, the Wuyan Palace stronghold at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm followed the previous person’s fate. With an incredulous expression, they spewed blood profusely.

”What kind of power is this?”

In an electrifying flash, Yun Xiao’s killing of two people left the onlookers gasping together. Those cultivators who previously thought Yun Xiao was overestimating himself now seemed to have their perceptions greatly shaken.

Back at the Water and Fire Hall under Yanji Lake, Yun Xiao had to fight for a long time to kill the Zhao Family’s Zhao Huai’an at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm.

But who would have thought that in less than a month, Yun Xiao would face cultivators at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm and kill them as easily as livestock, something even formidable opponents at the Late Stage of the Earth Bending Realm could not accomplish?

This goes beyond the saying ”kill one person every ten steps” to describe Yun Xiao’s terror; this is practically killing one person every step!

At this moment, the remaining two Wuyan Palace strongholds turned pale, fearing when Yun Xiao’s unstoppable Wooden Sword might slice across their necks.

”Master Yu Kuzhan, Brother Huai Xian, let’s strike together!”

After two sword strikes, Wuyan Palace’s Sixth Elder Leng Buyan finally arrived. Hearing his shout filled with extreme rage, his voice resounded.

This was the Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace, who never expected that his minor negligence would lead to the loss of two Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm disciples from Wuyan Palace in an instant.

Even for a top-tier force like Wuyan Palace, cultivating an Earth Bending Realm stronghold is not easy. Losing two at once, how could Leng Buyan not feel heartache?

Yet, seeing Yun Xiao’s stunning two sword strikes, he couldn’t afford any contempt. This feat of effortlessly killing two people is something even he could not achieve.

Now, Leng Buyan has regarded Yun Xiao as an opponent of the same caliber, even feeling a faint apprehension.

Thus, after taking the initiative to strike, he called the other two to engage together, perhaps only this way could they prevent Yun Xiao from killing the remaining Wuyan Palace elders.

”Great Vajra Palm!”

”Green Lotus Sword Gang!”

Witnessing Yun Xiao’s tactics, Yu Kuzhan and Zhao Huaixian dared not neglect them in the least, each unleashing their best moves. They knew, in single combat, no one could handle that bothersome guy.

A handprint radiating golden light attacked from Yun Xiao’s left rear side, precisely Yu Kuzhan’s Mahayana Secret Sect technique, brimming with immense power.

On the other hand, at the surface of Yanji Lake, having once experienced physical strength against Yun Xiao, Zhao Huai’an no longer attacked with his weaknesses. He retrieved a green light long sword from the Waist Storage, resembling the Qingming Sword Yun Xiao had once cut.

However, Zhao Huaixian’s strength far exceeded Zhao Huai’an’s. Seeing him swing his hands repeatedly, a series of lotus-shaped sword gangs emerged from the green long sword, appearing mystical and dazzling.

No one would dare regard those Green Lotus Sword Gangs as mere decorations. They knew once they struck the body, even a strong physical body would be pierced by the lotus leaves directly.

Furthermore, individuals like Ge Wanli and Jia Tianshu had seen Zhao Huaixian’s Green Lotus Sword Gang in action before. After the lotus leaves break through the human body, a special force explodes from the lotus body, causing instant internal organ rupture and death.

”Flame Snake Chaotic Dance!”

Facing Yun Xiao directly, Wuyan Palace’s Sixth Elder Leng Buyan didn’t idle either. As his shout fell, fiery breaths spewed from his ten fingertips, forming a fluttering array of flame snakes in the air.

Despite the ”cold” word in Leng Buyan’s name, he is indistinguishable from other Wuyan Palace cultivators, all practicing powerful Fire Attribute Techniques.

These hundreds to thousands of flame snakes densely sealed all paths in front of Yun Xiao, combined with the Green Lotus Sword Gang from the right rear side, Yun Xiao seemingly had only one way to evade.

And at that place lay a hand glowing with golden blood—Thunder Sound Mountain’s Demon Suppressing Arhat’s Great Vajra Palm—three powerful opponents indeed.

At least among observers like Mo Wanli and Jia Tianshu, any technique from these three could lead to death in a moment. Could that ragged-robe youth find a path to life under such powerful attacks?

Phew...

Facing attacks from three directions, Yun Xiao turned slightly, then his right leg lashed out fiercely toward Yu Kuzhan’s Great Vajra Palm. Seeing this scene, a gleam flashed in the Arhat’s eyes.

Yu Kuzhan hadn’t witnessed Yun Xiao’s physical body before; Zhao Huaixian was blasted away with one strike, and he thought it was just this Zhao Family Elder’s lack of strength, which did not indicate Yun Xiao’s own prowess.

At least to Yu Kuzhan, this ragged youth appeared to lack flesh, and his Physical Strength wasn’t likely stronger than a Ninth Rank low-level mouse-shaped Vein Demon, right?
