Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”This is too strong!”

On the human side, even though they already had confidence in Yun Xiao, seeing the current state of the battle still sparked a new sense of awe in their hearts. The strength of that boy far exceeded their imagination.

He seemed to have surpassed the level of the Earth Rank Third Realm. At least in the eyes of Wu Yingjiang and others, Yun Xiao might be the foremost beneath the Heavenly Rank Third Realm.

The Strange Spirits of the same level were an existence even more formidable than Vein Demons, yet in Yun Xiao’s hands, they were as fragile as a chicken or dog, unable to withstand any attack. This not only overturned the beliefs of the Strange Spirits but also completely disrupted the human side’s beliefs.

Yun Xiao did not have as many thoughts as others. There were a full ten Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirits on the opposing side, and now only two had been killed, which couldn’t yet achieve absolute intimidation.

He had to make these Strange Spirits feel pain and fear for the path ahead to be smooth; otherwise, apart from Yun Xiao, the other human cultivators would likely suffer great losses.

Whoosh!

The speed of Yun Xiao was incredibly fast. After collecting the Spirit Crystal of the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, he flashed and appeared directly in front of another Earth Attribute Strange Spirit.

Seeing the human boy suddenly appear before it, even though this Earth Attribute Strange Spirit was fierce, it was terrified, feeling as if its soul had fled.

Because the previous Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, similar in strength to it, only lasted two moves in the human boy’s hands.

And those two moves left it completely defenseless without even fighting back, especially since the human boy was enduring attacks from Wind Attribute Strange Spirits at the same time. It was evident that if this second Earth Attribute Strange Spirit faced Yun Xiao alone, the outcome would be dire.

Fortunately, this Earth Attribute Strange Spirit was not fighting alone. As Yun Xiao appeared before it, the two nearest Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirits had already made their move, forming a small encirclement within a large one, surrounding Yun Xiao from three sides.

”Be careful!”

Even being surrounded by three Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirits, Yun Xiao issued a warning, and his raised right leg fiercely kicked towards the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit in front of him, making it quickly dodge aside.

After dodging in a panic, the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit noticed that the human boy was standing still, maintaining the previous kicking posture.

”Is it a feint?”

Just as the thought arose in the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit’s mind, it realized it was incorrect. The human boy left nothing but an afterimage in place.

While the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit hadn’t figured out how a boy at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm could execute an afterimage, the true body of the coarse-clothed boy had appeared behind one of its companions.

Yun Xiao was naturally using the unrivaled Shadow Clone Meridian Techniques, and all his previous moves were to confuse the three Strange Spirits, achieving a surprise attack effect that was swift and hard to catch.

Indeed, when Yun Xiao appeared behind this special Strange Spirit, the outcome was already predetermined. A dark light flashed, and the Strange Spirit lost its Spirit Crystal without even glimpsing its opponent.

Unrelenting after gaining the advantage, Yun Xiao snatched the Strange Spirit’s Spirit Crystal, turned around, and swiftly moved towards the cloud-like Strange Spirit. His left hand extended, and a wisp of Ice Cold Power swirled around his fingertips.

This Strange Spirit resembled the Fog Spirit Yun Xiao had seen at the Refining Treasure Hall on Treasure Mountain at the Meridian Refining Master Association. He undoubtedly found dealing with such a Strange Spirit easy.

Crack, crack, crack!

When Yun Xiao’s left arm released the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, the Ninth Rank Advanced Cloud Mist Strange Spirit instantly became an exquisite ice sculpture, crystal clear and lifelike.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. From Yun Xiao using the Shadow Clone, to eliminating another Strange Spirit, and then freezing this Cloud Mist Strange Spirit—all took only a few breaths.

Observing the human boy’s ferocity, the remaining Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, along with the five remaining Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirits, trembled slightly. They finally realized they had greatly underestimated the boy’s strength.

Surrounded by ten Strange Spirits, the boy still managed to ruthlessly slay four strong Strange Spirits swiftly, spending minimal time in between.

Especially the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit recently toyed with, how could it still dare to challenge the human boy now? It knew clearly that the next target was probably itself.

The Earth Attribute Strange Spirit, whose courage was shattered, noticing the coarse-clothed boy’s gaze, did not hesitate but immediately flashed aside. And then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Due to Yun Xiao’s rapid killing of two Strange Spirits, his shadow clone, left behind, had not yet dissipated; however, aware that it was merely an afterimage, the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit sought escape.

Unexpectedly, just as the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit reached the front of the shadow clone, the seemingly immobile clone lifted its right leg and kicked directly at the spirit.

Seeing this scene, all the human cultivators and strange spirits were dumbfounded. Can this really happen? Does that young man named Yun Xiao truly possess a clone technique?

In fact, everyone was overthinking it; the sole reason for this situation was Yun Xiao executing the Shadow Clone Meridian Techniques once again.

This body movement technique passed down from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was indeed too novel for the cultivators of the Tenglong Continent.

Bam!

In such a surprising moment, the fate of the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit was already sealed, as Yun Xiao’s powerful kick pierced through its chest, sending the earth-colored Spirit Crystal flying out.

Yun Xiao, quick-eyed and swift, moved and swiftly grabbed the Spirit Crystal of the Earth Attribute Spirit, marking half of the ten spirits besieging him now defeated.

Since the encirclement by the ten strange spirits began, less than 15 minutes had passed. Such efficiency and strength shocked and delighted the humans, while the strange spirits were already in chaos.

Countless strange spirits gazed at the human youth with fear, realizing that even the ninth-rank advanced spirit beings couldn’t withstand a single round against him. If they approached, thousands and millions would still not be enough to stop him.

The remaining five ninth-rank advanced spirit beings appeared more composed. After exchanging glances, they made a unanimous decision.

”This human is too strong; we must flee!”

Seeing their five companions slaughtered like chickens, these five advanced strange spirit beings realized that should they confront him forcibly, they’d be dead or injured in an instant.

With mutual understanding, the five spirit beings decided to escape in five different directions. Human cultivators watched in shock but also felt it was a pity.

Since the five spirit beings fled in different directions, even with Yun Xiao’s speed, he could only kill one or two more, leaving some room for dissatisfaction.

People’s nature is such; while previously under pressure from the strange spirits, they found relief sufficient. Now, with Yun Xiao’s magnificent display, killing five spirit beings, they felt unfulfilled, wishing he’d annihilate all the spirit beings.

Yet when all human cultivators thought Yun Xiao would choose a direction to pursue, the youth stood still, only his hands still moving.

”Roar!”

As the five spirits had fled far away, everyone finally heard a majestic dragon’s roar. From the youth’s palms burst out an Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, several dozen feet long.

Looking at the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, figures like Jun Tieshu and Nie Xiaosheng felt a familiar recognition but knew clearly that the dragon Yun Xiao unleashed now was far more potent than the previous one in Xuanyin Cave.

The two geniuses guessed correctly; the powerful technique Yun Xiao wielded now was automatically generated after activating the power from his five ancestor veins, a technique whose rank even Yun Xiao himself couldn’t determine.

Moreover, this was evidently a growth-capable technique; as Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation improves, the power of the Five Elements Ice and Fire Giant Dragon continuously increases.

Like now, when the dragon roared and flew from Yun Xiao’s palms at lightning speed, it reached behind one of the spirits and swallowed it whole.

The advanced ninth-rank spirit couldn’t even scream before becoming the dragon’s belly fodder, showing the immense power of the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon.

Swoosh!

After devouring one spirit being, the dragon didn’t pause, turning to swiftly chase a second spirit, replicating the method; this second spirit also became dragon food.

Following were the third, fourth, and fifth spirits—in roughly ten breaths, all remaining spirit beings were engulfed by the dragon, leaving no trace.

This scene was undoubtedly more shocking than Yun Xiao’s previous selective execution of five spirits. Watching the dragon, akin to a real Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, some proposed bowing instinctively.

Even Wu Yingjiang, a peak Earth Bending Realm cultivator, seemed to feel a true dragon power from the dragon’s aura.

Though Wu Yingjiang and those human warriors never encountered real dragon power, the deep tremor-like impression profoundly affected them, lingering unconsciously.

In this Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, silence prevailed!
