Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Capture the leader first to capture the enemy, that’s probably what Yun Xiao is doing, right?”

Liu Hanyi looked at the Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader guarded in the distance, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she murmured softly, and in the next moment, she was already in motion.

”All cultivators who have reached the Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm, come with Feng to protect Hanyi!”

Feng Qiyun had cooperated with Liu Hanyi many times before, and upon seeing her actions, he knew exactly what this genius girl from the Sky Poison Institute, who had just broken through to the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, intended to do, so he directly shouted out.

Liu Hanyi did not have Yun Xiao’s Thunder Dragon’s Wings, so even if she broke through to the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, she couldn’t fly. Hence, she couldn’t fly directly to the Alien Spirit Leader like Yun Xiao, but had to fight her way through with bloodshed.

The protection around the Alien Spirit Leader was extremely tight, fearing some strong humans might sneak in, even though these Alien Spirit Strong People were not that easy to kill, there’s always a chance.

As mentioned before, the Alien Spirit army heavily relied on the Leader’s command due to their low spiritual wisdom; just by killing the Alien Spirit Leader, the entire army’s morale would plummet. This was the key reason why both Gushan City and Lishui City achieved major victories.

Therefore, before the Alien Spirit Leader, there weren’t just many low-level Alien Spirits; the closer it got, the stronger the spirits, including some Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirits.

This is Ding’an City, several times larger than Gushan City, so although there’s only one leader here, its strength surpasses the combined leaders of Gushan City.

Logically, ordinary human cultivators at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm wouldn’t be able to kill such spirits. Even if they could get close, they might not be a match for the Alien Spirit Leader.

Only those who reached Half-step Heavenly Rank Realm would dare claim they could handle it, and Liu Hanyi, who just broke through to the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, can she achieve merit like Yun Xiao once did?

No matter what, Liu Hanyi decided to give it a try, perhaps spurred by Yun Xiao, or perhaps truly for the greater human cause. This time, she moved forward fearlessly.

Bang!

Liu Hanyi charged ahead, smashing a Ninth Rank low-level Alien Spirit into pieces, then grabbed its Spirit Crystal. The power of her Immortal Poison Body was something these mid and low-level Alien Spirits couldn’t resist.

But this also slowed Liu Hanyi’s progress, and just as she intended to strike once more to kill a Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirit on her left, a withered hand reached out from the side, killing the spirit first.

”Hanyi, we’re here; just focus on one thing!”

Beside her, Feng Qiyun’s voice sounded, warming Liu Hanyi’s heart. She then saw numerous Earth Bending Realm experts surrounding her, leaving her enemies only the Alien Spirits ahead.

It seemed these human experts under Feng Qiyun’s lead understood Liu Hanyi’s target, while their mission was just to escort this genius girl from the Sky Poison Institute.

With these helpers, Liu Hanyi felt much relieved, blasting a Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirit in front of her, getting closer to the Alien Spirit Leader.

About an hour later, a slightly disordered Liu Hanyi finally broke through the Alien Spirit’s defenses, reaching right before the Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader.

Interestingly, whether out of disdain for this human girl or not, at this moment, the Alien Spirit Leader did not send the remaining Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirits to battle, but stepped forward to face Liu Hanyi directly.

This was a powerful Earth Attribute Alien Spirit glowing brown-yellow all over, clearly an Earth Attribute Alien Spirit Leader. Its step forward caused the ground to tremble fiercely, indicating how strong its power was.

As the leader of the Alien Spirits outside Ding’an City, this leader was extremely confident in its strength.

It had every reason to believe, given its power, unless humans sent a Half-step Heavenly Rank expert, no one could be its match.

Besides, at this moment, Liu Hanyi’s aura from breaking through to the Peak of Earth Bending Realm hadn’t completely calmed down, clearly showing she just broke through, so how could an Alien Spirit Leader deem this human cultivator a threat?

Perhaps that’s why the Alien Spirit Leader personally stepped forward. Reaching Ninth Rank Advanced, its spiritual wisdom was quite high, clearly understanding Liu Hanyi’s intention.

This hard-won path, even sacrificing several Earth Bending Realm warriors, brought her here. If it could crush this human girl with one punch, what would these human cultivators feel?

Boom!

The Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader thought as such, and without any hesitation, punched directly, seemingly exploding the air along its punch path, creating a sharp wind-breaking sound.

Earth Attribute Alien Spirits specialize in power attacks, and Liu Hanyi’s physical strength was far inferior to Yun Xiao’s. She never intended to clash head-on with this Earth Attribute Alien Spirit Leader.

”Junior Sister, be careful!”

Barely blocking a Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirit’s attack, Ye Ku caught sight of the Alien Spirit Leader’s powerful strike, instinctively warning aloud.

But if Liu Hanyi only reacted after hearing Ye Ku’s warning, she would likely perish instantly under the punch of the Alien Spirit Leader.

Whoosh!

Almost at the moment Ye Ku’s voice sounded, Liu Hanyi’s entire figure floated out gracefully like a willow leaf, causing the Alien Spirit Leader’s attack to miss completely.

Don’t be fooled by Liu Hanyi’s recent breakthrough to the Peak of Earth Bending Realm; she possesses the unique Abnormal Physique of the Immortal Poison Body, which is unparalleled even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, a type highly valued by Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu.

The usual deadly poison from Poison Vein Masters is immune to most Alien Spirits because many Alien Spirits have no flesh or meridians, and the deadly poison on them disappears like a stone sinking into the sea.

However, Liu Hanyi’s Immortal Embryo Poison is different; it is a special lethal poison that has remarkable effects on these Alien Spirits of Tenglong Continent.

Knowing the strength of her Immortal Poison Body, Liu Hanyi dared to make this beheading decision.

She knew that merely comparing physical strength or Meridian Qi combat power might not make her a match for the Alien Spirit Leader, but with certain methods, the effect would be different.

Even human cultivators, including Yun Xiao, were unaware of the power of the Immortal Poison Body, let alone these naturally born Alien Spirits. Liu Hanyi had reason to believe she could definitely accomplish a great feat this time.

Liu Hanyi also knew she had only one chance; if the Alien Spirit Leader realized the power of her Immortal Embryo Poison, it would not be easy to use deadly poison techniques again.

At this moment, Liu Hanyi made the same decision Yun Xiao did during his battle against the Wind Attribute Alien Spirit: to feign a flaw, truly embodying the saying ”you can’t catch a wolf if you don’t sacrifice the lamb.”

Liu Hanyi used an Earth Rank Advanced movement technique learned at Lianyun Mountain to evade several powerful attacks from the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit.

But in the eyes of many human cultivators, this constant evasive action without counterattacking clearly put her at an absolute disadvantage.

Liu Hanyi didn’t dare to confront the Alien Spirit Leader directly and thus posed no threat to the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit. Carelessness could mean letting its violent power strike her, leading to broken tendons and fractured bones.

Indeed, the concerns of the crowd were not unwarranted. At one moment, Liu Hanyi, clearly too slow, was struck on the left shoulder by the Alien Spirit Leader’s fist, producing a loud noise.

The force of the blow was so strong that Liu Hanyi spun in place, causing human cultivators to shift their expressions dramatically and feel a wave of despair.

”Is it not enough?”

Feng Qiyun, who had great hopes for Liu Hanyi, sighed at this moment. Although he anticipated the outcome, witnessing it was still hard to accept.

”Prepare to rescue!”

Since the situation seemed irreversible, Feng Qiyun, unwilling to watch Liu Hanyi, the Dean’s most promising disciple from the Sky Poison Institute, die, immediately shouted to take proactive action.

Clap!

However, just when everyone thought Liu Hanyi would lose or be directly killed, the girl who had spun in place actually extended her right hand to gently tap the Alien Spirit Leader’s wrist.

Yes, gently tapped.

This action seemed weaker than even the average person’s strength in the eyes of the crowd, making them wonder if Liu Hanyi had been stupefied by the Alien Spirit Leader’s punch to make such a move.

What the crowd didn’t see was the trace of a satisfied smile that naturally appeared on Liu Hanyi’s face after her right hand touched the Alien Spirit Leader, a smile that increasingly grew brighter.

Sensing the intense pain on her left shoulder, Liu Hanyi knew her shoulder blade might have been fractured, but her goal had been achieved; such a minor injury seemed negligible.

”Grah!”

The Alien Spirit Leader didn’t immediately realize it had been caught in Liu Hanyi’s trick. It let out an angry shout, intending to rise and crush the human girl who dared challenge it into dust.

”Hanyi, be careful!”

Feng Qiyun shouted upon seeing this, intending to rush over to protect her, but in the next moment, he saw the genius girl from the Sky Poison Institute lightly clench her right hand.

Then the previously arrogant Alien Spirit Leader’s figure abruptly froze, as if immobilized, completely motionless.

This scene felt extraordinarily eerie to those witnessing it.
