Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Wowaaaa!”

The water attribute alien spirit leader, forcefully dragged out of the water by Yun Xiao, continuously transformed its form, emitting an angry roar from an unknown mouth, and at that moment, a powerful aura erupted from its body.

A ninth rank advanced alien spirit, even Leng Buyan at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm was not its match, indicating that this water attribute alien spirit was not an ordinary ninth rank advanced alien spirit.

Coupled with the support of the river below, which greatly enhanced the power of the water attribute alien spirit, all the human cultivators on the city wall displayed a hint of worry.

The figure in coarse clothing that tread through the air was undoubtedly the last hope of the human cultivators in Lishui City. However, in their hearts, they feared this lifeline would soon be snapped by the terrifying alien spirit.

After all, when even the Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace, Leng Buyan at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm, was defeated, it seemed impossible that this youth, who appeared absurdly young, could have a cultivation higher than Leng Buyan’s, right?

As for the ability to fly, at this moment, all these human cultivators speculated that it must be an ancient and lost Flying Meridian Technique, for if he truly were a Heavenly King expert, a pair of wings would not have appeared at his back.

In contrast to the human side, the alien army looked on with ridicule and disdain, finding it ridiculous that this human youth would dare to challenge their leader, considering it nothing short of suicidal.

Swish, swish!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the water attribute alien spirit leader launched the first attack, intending to show those human cultivators just how it would tear this overconfident human into pieces.

Several streams of water extended from the ninth rank advanced alien spirit, followed by a certain kind of aura spitting forth from its body, and from the river below, several streams of water surged skyward.

Although these water streams did not possess the same staggering power as the giant water columns from before, they held immense resilience, leading many human cultivators to suspect that if the youth was bound by the streams, the battle would conclude.

As anticipated, for unknown reasons, when the streams swept over, the youth seemed petrified, failing to make any movement.

”Seems we overestimated him!”

Many human cultivators on Lishui City’s wall shook their heads with sighs. The disappointment following raised hopes was the greatest, and that was precisely the state of their minds at the moment.

Initially, they believed the airborne youth would surprise them, yet they found he merely had an impressive Flying Meridian Technique and was essentially a pretty facade, utterly vulnerable when truly tested.

”Hmm? Something’s not right!”

The elder from Firewood Valley, Wu Tong, with his overwhelming strength, suddenly recalled some scenes he’d witnessed before when he saw ”Yun Xiao” standing motionless, and he spoke in a low voice.

At the shores of Yanji Lake, Wu Tong had witnessed some of Yun Xiao’s methods, and it was precisely these techniques that allowed him to effortlessly slay several powerful figures of Wuyan Palace, achieving ultimate victory.

Given Wu Tong’s understanding of Yun Xiao, it was unfathomable that the youth, even if his cultivation hadn’t advanced over the near year, would succumb so swiftly to the first strike of a ninth rank advanced alien spirit. At the very least, he would attempt to evade.

Swish, swish, swish...

Amidst the varied thoughts of the observers, seven or eight streams of water reached Yun Xiao, binding his entire form. It seemed as though, in the next moment, he would be crushed to death.

Poof!

In just an instant, the youth named Yun Xiao, unable to withstand the constraint of eight water streams, explosively shattered apart in mid-air.

”What?”

At this point, even some human cultivators in the Seeking Origin Realm noticed something was amiss, as the ”Yun Xiao” that was bound and exploded did not shed a single drop of blood, appearing like an afterimage.

Shua!

At that moment, Yun Xiao had naturally employed his unrivaled Shadow Clone technique, leaving a fake body behind while his true form suddenly appeared behind the water attribute alien spirit’s body.

”Ah!”

Realizing its attack had failed, the alien spirit quickly reacted, emitting a strange sound as it attempted to dodge the incoming strike from behind.

However, Yun Xiao was well-prepared, and with his current strength, if the ninth rank advanced alien spirit easily evaded under such circumstances, it would be unbelievable.

Slap!

The next moment, everyone saw the coarse-clothed youth’s left palm, seemingly moving slowly but, in fact, striking precisely onto the back of the ninth rank advanced alien spirit’s head, producing a sound like a hand smacking the water’s surface.

”Ice Cold Ancestral Vein, reveal!”

At the same time, a deep voice emerged from Yun Xiao’s mouth, and then everyone saw that from the palm of his left hand touching the back of the Strange Spirit’s head, a chill swept out.

In just a moment, that Ninth Rank Advanced Water Attribute Strange Spirit was frozen into a crystal-clear ice sculpture, causing the Lishui City East Gate City Wall to fall into complete silence.

”The Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader died just like that?”

The human cultivators on the East Gate City Wall of Lishui City widened their eyes, especially those who previously thought Yun Xiao only knew one flying meridian technique, thinking it was a waste. Their eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets.

That was a Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirit, and with the aid of the river’s water, a Water Attribute Strange Spirit which even the Peak of Earth Bending Realm Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace, Leng Buyan, was not a match for, being severely injured, showing just how formidable the Alien Spirit Leader was.

But now, a dignified Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirit was frozen into an ice sculpture with a single move by an apparently twenty-year-old boy, completely overturning their understanding of the Strange Spirit’s combat power.

Had it not been for the Ninth Rank Advanced Water Attribute Strange Spirit’s strong record of injuring Leng Buyan, many human cultivators might not have believed what they were seeing, thinking it was a puppet show performed by the rough-clothed boy and the Strange Spirit.

Yet Yun Xiao was not thinking so much; after freezing the Water Attribute Strange Spirit, his left palm had moved down, intending to take out the Spirit Crystal from the Water Attribute Strange Spirit.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

However, just then, from the ground on the riverbank, several huge stone bullets suddenly erupted, fiercely shooting toward Yun Xiao in the sky, with an array path seemingly sealing off all of his evasion directions.

”There’s... another Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirit?!”

The sudden change made Wu Tong and others on the city wall tense, as they clearly sensed that where the stone bullets were flying from, there emerged a figure radiating an earthy yellow glow.

The earthly yellow figure stood nearly two meters tall, twice as tall as an ordinary human cultivator, seeming incredibly powerful compared to the Ninth Rank Intermediate Earth Attribute Strange Spirit fighting against Wu Tong, clearly much more formidable.

And this Ninth Rank Advanced Earth Attribute Strange Spirit was one that none of them had seen before, never having appeared during Leng Buyan’s counter-attack leading the crowd out of the city.

So all the human cultivators were secretly surprised, thinking if this powerful Earth Attribute Strange Spirit had acted that day, cooperating with the Water Attribute Strange Spirit in a pincer attack, not only would Leng Buyan have escaped in vain, but they, the human cultivators who ventured out to battle, might also have been completely annihilated.

”Hey, finally can’t hold back, huh?”

Compared to those human cultivators, Yun Xiao displayed a smile of preparedness, as he had already sensed with his Power of Soul when arriving, that beside the riverbank, there was a Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirit hidden in the dark.

Lishui City was much larger than Gushan City; even Gushan City had two Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leaders, so there was no reason for Lishui City to only have one; that would defy logic.

Seeing the flying stone bullets seal off all his evasion paths, Yun Xiao glanced at a certain part of the sky, his smile unwavering, before raising his right leg to kick one of the stone bullets.

Bam!

Under Yun Xiao’s skillful application of force, the stone bullet wasn’t shattered, but was under the momentum, returned directly, knocking toward the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit below, faster than before.

Swish!

Yet at that moment, when Yun Xiao kicked the stone bullet and seized a bit of space, from that gap, a strange energy wave erupted again.

In Yun Xiao’s peculiar gaze, that power finally formed, surprisingly a long cyan wind blade, like a giant axe cleaving the heavens, coming fiercely at Yun Xiao.

”Yet another Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirit!”

Seeing the wind blade in stark contrast with the previous Earth Attribute Strange Spirit’s attribute, the human cultivators on the city head of Lishui City were almost suffocated.

Because they suddenly discovered, not far from Yun Xiao in the sky, there was a vague figure shuttling in the wind, obviously another Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirit.

That was a Ninth Rank Advanced Wind Attribute Strange Spirit; owing to its sensing of the wind attribute, even if it hadn’t reached the level of Heavenly Spirit, it could short-term fly, with the same touch of genius as Yun Xiao’s initial appearance of the Thunder Dragon’s Wings.

Yun Xiao naturally wouldn’t be struck by that wind blade; as his body lightly moved, he escaped from between the giant wind blade and the flying stone bullets at an incredible angle.

Crash!

As Yun Xiao dodged the wind blade, it fiercely struck the ice sculpture of the Water Attribute Strange Spirit from earlier, this strike so powerful, it shattered the ice sculpture, along with the Spirit Crystal, dropping into the river below.

At this moment, the whole scene fell silent!
