Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The young boy in plain clothes who leaped down from the sky was none other than Yun Xiao. Initially, he was leading the cultivators from Gushan and Lishui cities toward this Taikang City, but unexpectedly, when they got close, they received the news that Taikang City was in grave danger.

Therefore, Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang abandoned the main force and directly summoned the Ziqing Twin Luan, rushing toward Taikang City through the air. Unfortunately, despite the Ziqing Twin Luan’s speed, by the time they arrived, Taikang City had already fallen.

Fortunately, the city had just been breached. Inside the city, human cultivators and the invading alien army were locked in a fierce street battle. Yun Xiao sensed the strongest among the aliens at a glance and immediately signaled the Ziqing Twin Luan to fly toward that position.

It must be said, Yun Xiao arrived just in time. If he had been half an incense stick later, not only would Wu Yingjiang have been slain by the alien leader, but Taikang City would also have been awash in blood.

Aliens feel no mercy towards humans. In an overwhelming situation, they would slaughter humans to extinction as the blood and flesh of human cultivators are as tempting to them as spirit crystals are to human cultivators—a true delicacy.

”Be careful, that’s a Gold Attribute Alien Spirit; its strength is incredibly great and extremely sharp!”

Seeing Yun Xiao descending from the sky and boldly kicking at the Ninth Rank Advanced alien leader, Wu Yingjiang, the Second Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, couldn’t help but frown, thinking to himself, how could this young man be so reckless?

Wu Yingjiang had just had a confrontation with the alien leader. If not for some trump cards up his sleeve, he might have been defeated by a single strike from that alien leader.

Falling into habitual thinking, Wu Yingjiang assumed that a young man much junior to Nie Xiaosheng wouldn’t surpass his own strength. Facing a Ninth Rank Advanced alien leader should be handled with extreme caution, shouldn’t it?

After all, Wu Yingjiang’s understanding of Yun Xiao still relied on others’ intelligence reports. He hadn’t seen Yun Xiao in action, not even during the great victories of Gushan and Lishui cities, which he thought were the results of many human powerhouses joining forces.

Yun Xiao hails from Lianyun Mountain. In Wu Yingjiang’s view, if the Meridian Refining Master Association’s powerhouses were all present, defeating the aliens might not be out of the question.

”Second Elder, you needn’t worry about that guy. I’ve never seen him suffer a loss before!”

Conversely, the young genius Nie Xiaosheng had more confidence in Yun Xiao. Recalling their interactions, he instantly felt reassured and even comforted Second Elder Wu Yingjiang.

But how could Wu Yingjiang believe it? Even the human cultivators of Taikang City, who were closer, thought Yun Xiao’s attack was too reckless. Would this famed young man be slain by the alien leader in one strike?

The alien leader had never seen Yun Xiao nor received news from the north. When seeing a human teenager, no more than twenty years old, dare to compete in physical strength, a hint of disdain crossed its non-existent eyes.

The physical strength of human cultivators can’t compare to Vein Demons of the same level, and the aliens are even more formidable than Vein Demons. This alien leader was confident that unless the human teenager reached the Heavenly Rank Realm, he wouldn’t be a match.

So, at that moment, the alien leader didn’t use its special tricks, raising its right leg just like Yun Xiao, appearing intent to compete directly in physical strength with the human teenager!

Watching this unfold from the back of the Purple Luan, Xu Hongzhuang might be the only one who knew the inside truth. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a playful glint because she knew the alien leader was likely in for some bad luck.

As indeed as those who hadn’t met Yun Xiao, the alien leader, and Wu Yingjiang imagined, if it were just another Peak of Earth Bending Realm expert, there was no way it could rival the alien leader, just like Wu Yingjiang earlier.

But is Yun Xiao an ordinary person? The answer will soon be revealed.

Bang!

A human teenager and an alien leader quickly engaged, and the ensuing scene left countless human cultivators surprised and shocked.

Especially Wu Yingjiang, the Second Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, who had previously thought Yun Xiao reckless and careless, was nearly popping his eyes out of his sockets, completely unbelieving what he was witnessing.

Swish!

A golden light shadow flew backward, clearly belonging to the Ninth Rank Advanced alien leader. This Gold Attribute alien leader, renowned for its physical prowess, was actually sent flying a dozen yards by Yun Xiao’s kick.

When the alien leader, unable to resist the massive force, crashed into the stone ground more than a dozen yards away, that part of Taikang City suddenly fell into silence.

It seemed that even the aliens attacking the human cultivators in full force were startled by the sudden development. They looked at the fallen alien leader, then at the plainly dressed human boy, fear apparent.

Aliens below the Heavenly Rank heavily rely on their leader, and in this battlefront at Taikang City, the Gold Attribute alien leader was their absolute faith.

But now, the belief held by countless aliens was kicked away by a human boy, surely striking a major blow to their morale.

On the contrary, the human side was incredibly excited. That young man named Yun Xiao was indeed as powerful as rumored. Just this one move greatly boosted all the human cultivators’ confidence. It seemed that the Strange Spirits were not so invincible after all.

However, compared to the spectators, both human and Strange Spirit, Yun Xiao was not entirely satisfied with the effect of his kick. He could clearly sense that although the Alien Spirit Leader he kicked looked extremely embarrassed, it wasn’t seriously hurt.

The recovery ability of Strange Spirits was much stronger than that of humans and Vein Demons. Sometimes, even if they were blasted into pieces, as long as their Spirit Crystal wasn’t controlled, they could regroup their bodies.

For example, the current Alien Spirit Leader - although it was kicked back more than a dozen feet by Yun Xiao, it got up as good as new, without its aura seemingly any different from before.

The only difference was in the aura of this Strange Spirit. Although it wasn’t really hurt, being so embarrassed by a human teenager of the same rank - its proud nature couldn’t swallow this insult.

If the opponent had used some powerful Meridian Techniques, perhaps the Alien Spirit Leader wouldn’t be so angry. But to lose in physical strength, something it excelled at, to a human teenager of the same rank - this anger was extraordinary.

Swish!

In its fury, the Alien Spirit Leader’s whole body radiated a dazzling golden light. In the next moment, everyone clearly saw the entire body of the Alien Spirit Leader transform into a large golden blade.

The golden light sliced across the dozen feet of distance, angrily attacking Yun Xiao. It looked overwhelmingly powerful, not only mighty in strength but also so sharp that even those far away could clearly sense it.

”Careful...”

Wu Yingjiang instinctively started to shout a warning, but as soon as he spoke the first two words, he noticed Nie Xiaosheng and Jia Tianshu beside him seemed unperturbed, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

Yun Xiao had already left a deep impression on Wu Yingjiang earlier. He obviously knew that this young man was quite different from ordinary peak Earth Bending Realm powerhouses. The Alien Spirit Leader’s golden blade attack might not even be able to hurt him.

Though it was a close call!

The speed of the Alien Spirit Leader’s transformation into a golden blade was astonishingly fast. In just the blink of an eye, it was already inches in front of Yun Xiao. Amazingly, Yun Xiao still hadn’t made any move.

”This...”

Seeing this, Wu Yingjiang instinctively shook his head slightly. At such close range, no matter what Yun Xiao intended to do, it was already too late.

”Second Elder, look closely!”

While Wu Yingjiang was vexed, Nie Xiaosheng suddenly spoke up oddly, completely baffling him. What did Nie Xiaosheng mean by that?

”Look closely? Look closely at what?”

Wu Yingjiang was perplexed, but the next moment, he didn’t need Nie Xiaosheng to answer. His eyes caught sight of something astonishing.

Swish!

The tip of the golden blade, transformed from the Alien Spirit Leader, pierced through Yun Xiao’s chest and protruded from his back. This sight caused many human cultivators present to gasp in surprise.

”Hmm? Something’s wrong!”

Due to Nie Xiaosheng’s earlier word, Wu Yingjiang was watching it closely. He abruptly discovered that the golden blade piercing through Yun Xiao’s body didn’t make the thin figure bleed even a drop.

”Could it be... an Afterimage?!”

This scene that defied logic flashed some information in Wu Yingjiang’s mind. In the intelligence that Jia Tianshu and Nie Xiaosheng had brought back from the Shenxiao Sect, Yun Xiao’s extraordinary techniques were highlighted, including this unusual Afterimage.

Generally, only strong individuals who reached the Heavenly Rank Third Realm could barely use Afterimages, yet those are easily seen through and don’t last long.

Yet as for Yun Xiao now, this Afterimage not only fooled Wu Yingjiang, a peak Earth Bending Realm expert, but clearly, the Gold Attribute Alien Spirit Leader also didn’t realize it was fighting just a fake body.

Such a convincing Afterimage, Wu Yingjiang could foresee its effectiveness in battle. Just thinking about it, he suddenly realized the Alien Spirit Leader might be in deep trouble.
