Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Don’t play tricks on me!”

Though Yun Xiao trusted Xiao Wu deep down, he still sent this voice in his mind, naturally drawing a disdainful look from Xiao Wu.

Yun Xiao conversed with Xiao Wu in his soul, yet his actions didn’t slow down even slightly, and under his deliberate control, he was engaging joyfully in the battle in the sky with the Ninth Rank Advanced Wind Attribute Strange Spirit.

Of course, Yun Xiao’s attacks on that Wind Attribute Strange Spirit mostly felt like they fell into oblivion, even more so than the sensation of striking a lump of cotton, with no resistance to be found.

However, the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit’s attacks could convert between illusion and reality, frightening many human cultivators on the city wall, afraid that Yun Xiao’s head would be sliced off by the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit’s wind blade with just one misstep.

”Is it almost time?”

After dozens of moves, Yun Xiao saw that the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit was fighting more fervently, with increasingly bold attacks. A glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes, sensing that the timing was ripe.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit slashed down with its right arm turned into a sharp blade, slicing off a piece of Yun Xiao’s sleeve, the tattered cloth fluttering down, eliciting exclamations from the human cultivators on the city wall.

At this moment, Yun Xiao seemed frightened by the strike from the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit, quickly turning around, seemingly attempting to flee, leaving his back exposed.

With Yun Xiao’s intentional speed control, he didn’t unleash the Thunder Wings and Wind Attribute power to their fullest, so the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit swiftly closed in behind him within two breaths.

A phantom Wind Attribute fist fiercely aimed at Yun Xiao’s back, and witnessing the speed of that strange spirit, everyone knew that Yun Xiao likely wouldn’t be able to avoid this strike.

At least that’s what the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit believed, thinking that since its wind blade failed to harm this human boy before, surely now the main body’s move wouldn’t be thwarted by this human kid?

But what went unnoticed was that when the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit’s fist was about to hit Yun Xiao’s back, the human boy slightly shifted his stance, actively placing his Wind Attribute Ancestor Vein under the Spirit’s fist.

To the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit, just landing that punch on Yun Xiao, whether it’s a vital point or another area, actually made little difference because it still held a backup plan.

Wind Attribute being intangible and shapeless, should it truly hit the human body, its special power would erupt, countless wind attribute powers would invade the cultivator’s body, completely wreaking havoc on its Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, with no outward signs at all.

It seemed this Ninth Rank Advanced Wind Attribute Strange Spirit thought so too, its true target being Yun Xiao’s internal organs, not just the surface attack, and now it looked that this goal was soon to be fulfilled.

Splurt!

A soft sound came from the sky. On the city head of Lishui City, all human cultivators revealed a look of despair, thinking that the coarse-clothed boy named Yun Xiao ultimately couldn’t avert the crisis.

Seeing its strike hit, the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit couldn’t help but be overjoyed, unleashing its power from inside, as countless tiny wind blades surged from where its fist touched Yun Xiao, penetrating into Yun Xiao’s body.

In the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit’s view, so many wind blades entering this human boy’s body would likely soon shred his Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, this battle’s victory ultimately belonging to the spirit side.

Unexpectedly, after a moment, the human boy didn’t even show any disorder in his breath, leaving the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit suddenly uneasy, instinctively wanting to retract its fist.

Unfortunately, realizing the danger now was too late. When a unique, powerful suction emerged from Yun Xiao’s body, the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit’s fate was sealed.

No matter how hard this Ninth Rank Advanced Wind Attribute Strange Spirit tried, its fist seemed glued to Yun Xiao’s back, unable to withdraw.

Moreover, a powerful devouring force swept out, causing the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit to feel its energy rapidly being consumed, absorbed into the human boy’s body.

At this moment, the strange spirit was totally panicked, feeling its soul almost flee with fear. It thought of severing its arm to save itself but suddenly realized it couldn’t even accomplish this.

The human boy’s body not only had a terrifying devouring power but also emitted a power of the same origin as it, precisely this Wind Attribute power, preventing it from performing any redundant actions.

Whoosh!

In mere moments, the entire phantom form of the Wind Attribute Strange Spirit was absorbed into Yun Xiao, even its spirit crystal was completely devoured, serving as nutrients for Yun Xiao to enhance the Wind Attribute Ancestor Vein.

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao couldn’t directly refine the Wind Attribute Spirit Crystal since there was still a Ninth Rank Advanced Earth Attribute Strange Spirit Leader below that needed to be dealt with to resolve the alien spirit threat at Lishui City.

”Don’t eat it all, remember to save some for me!”

While swooping downward, Yun Xiao didn’t forget to admonish a certain fellow within his body, yet the words only elicited a scornful gaze from Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu.

Whoosh!

No longer bothering with Xiao Wu, Yun Xiao spread his Thunder Wings, and a silvery-grey shadow descended from the sky, arriving in front of the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit Leader on the ground in an instant.

”What happened just now?”

Witnessing this scene, Wu Tong and others on the city wall of Lishui City were still not quite able to wrap their heads around it, staring at each other in shock, their eyes filled with confusion.

Just moments ago, Yun Xiao and that Wind Attribute Strange Spirit had battled tens of rounds, without gaining any upper hand, so how did that Strange Spirit suddenly get completely devoured?

After a while, those with keen insights finally began to vaguely piece together the clues. It seemed that the intense battle prior was orchestrated by the rough-clothed youth, the purpose was to lure the Strange Spirit’s true form to strike his back.

Of course, no one could guess the specifics, but with such a result, countless human cultivators of Lishui City felt that the dark dawn had been pierced by a ray of light, soon to bring brightness.

With the gazes of these Lishui City cultivators fixed upon him, the rough-clothed youth appeared not far from the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit Leader on the ground, rapidly swinging out his right leg, seemingly wanting to compete in physical strength with that Earth Attribute Strange Spirit.

The Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, initially stunned by Yun Xiao’s killing of two companions moments earlier, now saw the human youth daring to challenge its physical strength, immediately raising a sense of indignation.

If this human kid employed those bizarre, unpredictable tactics, this Earth Attribute Strange Spirit would surely avoid engaging directly, but when it came to strength comparison, it harbored no thoughts of retreat, as this was its forte.

This Ninth Rank Advanced Earth Attribute Strange Spirit could certainly sense that the human youth opposite was at the peak of Earth Bending Realm, and thus it was supremely confident.

Ordinarily, human cultivators of the same tier couldn’t even match a Vein Demon’s internal strength, let alone a Strange Spirit; moreover, this Strange Spirit was an Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, its strength at least double that of a standard same-level Strange Spirit.

Yet the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit was unaware that Yun Xiao deliberately refrained from using other tactics precisely because it knew the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit excelled in physical strength; Yun Xiao believed his previous performance might have startled this spirit, and if it truly escaped, it would be a wasted effort.

In general, the physical strength of human cultivators of the same rank is indeed far lesser compared to Strange Spirits, but is Yun Xiao a typical cultivator? The power within his right leg, perhaps none beneath the Heavenly Rank could withstand it, not even Strange Spirits.

Boom!

So as that Strange Spirit also extended its right leg in a confrontation with him, Yun Xiao knew the battle was about to end. Right then, when the two legs clashed, a loud noise erupted.

The Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, initially full of confidence, at the first contact with the human youth’s right leg, felt an unmatched force sweeping through, instantly stirring tumultuous waves in its heart.

But at this moment, how could Yun Xiao concern himself with the spirit’s thoughts? His right leg unleashed a torrent of Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein Power, a mountain-crushing wave of force pouring over the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, tragically ending it instantly.

Crash!

Under the scrutiny of countless Strange Spirits and human cultivators atop the city wall, the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit they once deemed mighty was shockingly blasted apart into pieces by Yun Xiao.

As if bearing an unbearable weight in life, or being crushed under a Giant Peak, in short, this Ninth Rank Advanced Earth Attribute Strange Spirit was astonishingly shattered by Yun Xiao’s incomparable kick.

A punch’s might, terrifying as such!

That was a Ninth Rank Advanced Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, and in the eyes of Lishui City’s human cultivators, none below the Heavenly Rank Third Realm could possibly match the strength of this Earth Attribute Strange Spirit.

But now, that rough-clothed youth, seemingly no older than twenty, not only matched a Ninth Rank Advanced Earth Attribute Strange Spirit in strength but also shattered it with a kick, utterly overturning their cultivation perceptions.

Yet as they watched the rough-clothed youth seize the Ninth Rank Advanced Earth Attribute Spirit Crystal, the humans atop Lishui’s city wall were shocked but realized Lishui City’s turning point had finally arrived.

Thirty minutes ago, the city wall of Lishui was crawling with Strange Spirits, seemingly on the brink of destruction.

And thirty minutes later, a youthful warrior of remarkable capabilities emerged, forcibly reversing Lishui City’s dire crisis, this joy, akin to a transition from Hell to Heaven, surely drives one to madness.
