Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”A mere Thousand Flow Poison Net, what harm can it do to me?”

However, just when everyone thought they had guessed Yun Xiao’s next move, this young man in coarse clothes let out a light exclamation.

Then everyone clearly saw Yun Xiao directly extend his left arm, boldly reaching for the poisonous stream net, seemingly indifferent to the deadly threat of the Thousand Flowing Wound Poison.

”Isn’t this a bit too underestimating the enemy?”

Even some of the more sincere Meridian Refining Masters furrowed their brows slightly at this moment, expressing their concern. After all, in their view, using such casual methods to deal with Lu Tianwen’s poisonous water net was either confidence or arrogance.

Yet these onlookers had no idea that in terms of Poison Meridian skills alone, even the Heavenly Rank Intermediate President of the Meridian Refining Master Association was far from being Yun Xiao’s match.

Moreover, the Thousand Flowing Wound that Lu Tianwen had employed at this moment was something Yun Xiao was extremely familiar with. Dealing with such a poison certainly didn’t require Yun Xiao to fully display all his Poison Meridian techniques.

Next, Yun Xiao’s thumb and index finger gently pinched a corner of the Thousand Flow Poison Net, and then, the gigantic stream of water several yards long and wide was suddenly immobilized.

At this moment, the Thousand Flow Poison Net was no more than a foot away from Yun Xiao, but under the pinch of his two fingers on the left hand, it couldn’t advance an inch further, as if it had been subject to an Immobilization Technique.

Yet everyone knew that given the hatred between Lu Tianwen and Yun Xiao, he would never hold back. The enmity between them was not just over killing a disciple but also killing a pupil.

Even though Lu Tianwen’s disciple, Xie Tianwan, didn’t die directly by Yun Xiao’s hand, he indeed died because of Yun Xiao. The account of personally taking his beloved disciple’s life was, of course, attributed to Yun Xiao by Lu Tianwen.

Therefore, both emotionally and logically, Lu Tianwen could not back down at this moment. Thus, when the Thousand Flow Poison Net was immobilized, it was entirely due to Yun Xiao’s own methods.

Seeing this, Lu Tianwen’s figure trembled slightly. Only he knew that when Yun Xiao’s two fingers touched the Thousand Flow Poison Net, its control had already slipped from his hands.

But Lu Tianwen wasn’t too flustered, and even had a hint of schadenfreude, because he had great confidence in his own Thousand Flowing Wound poison.

Even though control had shifted, Lu Tianwen had reason to believe that the boy dared to touch the Thousand Flow Poison Net, he would inevitably suffer the poisonous invasion.

That poison was specifically crafted by Lu Tianwen and was unique even in the Dragon Continent. Even he himself didn’t have an antidote for it.

Usually, Lu Tianwen wouldn’t easily perform the Thousand Flowing Wound, for fear of accidentally getting backfired. The place beyond the Spirit Fighting Commerce would certainly be a mess.

It must be said that Lu Tianwen indeed didn’t underestimate Yun Xiao, starting off by using such a powerful technique as the Thousand Flowing Wound. Though it wasn’t his strongest Poison Meridian skill, it wasn’t something an ordinary Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master could bear.

In Lu Tianwen’s view, Yun Xiao was soon to be ravaged by the Thousand Flowing Wound poison unless the opponent had special detoxification methods, in which case this Poison Meridian contest was over.

Unfortunately, Lu Tianwen, though dominant in the Dragon Continent, was unaware that the opponent he faced this time was a figure from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud in a past life. His efforts were doomed to be in vain.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

While Lu Tianwen stared at Yun Xiao, hoping to see him ravaged by the Thousand Flowing Wound poison, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

Immediately, everyone, including Lu Tianwen, saw a crystal clear ice flower emerging from the corner where Yun Xiao pinched the Thousand Flow Poison Net, looking dazzlingly beautiful.

In just a few breaths, the gigantic Thousand Flow Poison Net had been transformed into an ice net, crystal clear and mesmerizing.

Seeing this, many were thoughtful, while Lu Tianwen, as the party involved, had an expression of unexpected change; a change in the course unforeseen by the circumstances.

In fact, Lu Tianwen and the crowd didn’t know that the frozen ice net was devoid of any poison.

The toxic energy of the Thousand Flowing Wound had long been consumed by Yun Xiao through the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, leaving no impact on his body.

Even the meager amount of toxic energy left Yun Xiao somewhat unsatisfied, as most of it had been snatched away by Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, leaving him only scraps.

”This is far from enough!”

Yun Xiao’s face revealed a look of wanting more. Then his left hand lightly released, and the gigantic crystal-clear ice net fell to the ground, shattering into countless pieces.

Wahla!

Shattered Thousand Flow Poison Net ice flowers splashed everywhere, as if striking Lu Tianwen’s chest, seeing Yun Xiao’s expression, he knew that the Thousand Flowing Wound poison that had nearly killed him in the past had no effect on the young man.

Regarding the cause and effect, Lu Tianwen could not guess at all, but he knew that his previously strongest technique probably did not work on Yun Xiao anymore.

”It’s only polite to reciprocate, you should taste mine too!”

As Lu Tianwen was plotting certain ideas in his heart, ready to unleash some stronger techniques, a low shout reached his ears.

Since it was a Poison Vein technique battle, Yun Xiao was not just going to take hits without fighting back. Seeing him shout loudly, his left sleeve suddenly waved, and a gust of fierce wind erupted.

Swish swish swish...

The fierce wind created by Yun Xiao’s sleeve seemed to target an extremely small area, under this violent force, the crystalline ice granules that had just shattered scattered wildly towards Lu Tianwen at an extremely fast speed.

Facing the overwhelming ice granules coming at him, Lu Tianwen was not overly panicked, but due to the previous examples of Qi Feng and Song Qiuchan, he was clearly unwilling to take them directly.

Who knows if this strange little fellow wouldn’t also, like Liu Hanyi before, imbue the shattered ice transformed from Thousand Flowing Wound with a special toxic energy, it would be a considerable loss if contaminated.

In fact, Lu Tianwen guessed right, the poison belonging to Thousand Flowing Wound had already been divided between him and Little Five, yet among those tiny shattered ice granules contained a strange toxin.

This strange toxin, called Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Poison, was a special cold poison inherited by Yun Xiao after activating his second Ancestor Vein.

Later Yun Xiao took the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad from Fu Du and refined it into his Meridian Spirit, allowing it to continually evolve, and its poisonous power has constantly increased during this evolution, reaching its current strength.

Yun Xiao was extremely confident, if Lu Tianwen dared not to dodge and let the ice granules containing cold poison touch him, this battle might end prematurely.

”Thousand Flow Shield!”

And at the next moment, as the crowd thought Lu Tianwen would be unable to avoid the disorderly ice granules’ attack, a low voice rang out from his mouth.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Immediately countless streams of water appeared in front of Lu Tianwen, but this time the streams didn’t condense into a large net like before, but formed a water screen almost completely engulfing his human form.

This might be another manifestation of Thousand Flowing Wound, although Poison Vein battles cannot use Meridian Qi to attack, it can be used for defense without question.

A Poison Vein Master’s resistance to poison is usually linked to Meridian Qi Cultivation, for example, a poison emitted by an Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master cannot pose much threat to a Heavenly Rank Third Realm expert.

This is the result of Meridian Qi Cultivation. After all, not every Poison Vein Master on this continent possesses Liu Hanyi’s Immortal Poison Body or Yun Xiao’s extraordinarily advantageous Poison Meridian skill.

Poof poof poof...

The Thousand Flow Shield seemed to have a rather special dispersive effect, coupled with Lu Tianwen’s cultivation level, which was already two small realms higher than Yun Xiao, the shattered ice attack naturally didn’t have much effect.

Given the current situation, it seemed like the two on stage were engaging in a Meridian Qi battle, actually Yun Xiao employed Ice Cold Poison, Lu Tianwen was merely defending.

Of course, Lu Tianwen could only use his Meridian Qi for defense, as Yun Xiao hadn’t initially activated his Meridian Qi, he couldn’t launch an attack with it; doing so would violate the rules of the Meridian Refining Conference’s Poison Vein battle.

In this way, neither party harmed the other, during this pure defensive confrontation, Yun Xiao couldn’t utilize his Meridian Qi, how could those shattered ice possibly break through the Thousand Flow Shield’s defense?

Moments later, countless shattered ice either blocked by the Thousand Flow Shield or brushed aside, leaving Lu Tianwen unharmed. Once everything had settled, the Thousand Flow Shield disappeared instantly.

”Yun Xiao, I have to say your resistance to poison is truly extraordinary, if you can withstand the poison I display this time, I, Lu Tianwen, will concede defeat and abandon the poison!”

After dismissing the Thousand Flow Shield, Lu Tianwen stared at the calm-faced, coarse-clothed young man, his next words leaving many in deep thought, including some bigwigs in the northern seats.

”Could it be that the Thousand Flowing Wound isn’t Lu Tianwen’s strongest Poison Vein technique?”

Qingmu Wu’s expression wasn’t very pleasant, given his understanding of the Thousand Flowing Wound’s reputation, such a Poison Vein skill was already the strongest technique among Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Masters.

At this moment, Qingmu Wu, Qian Sanyuan, and even Ouyang Wuantong and Li Yunfan, who favor Yun Xiao, all felt a hint of unease, watching the Douling Commerce’s Vice President intently.
