Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The newcomer was none other than Lu Yanji, the president of the Meridian Refining Master Association, and the first expert from Lianyun Mountain to arrive at Demons Mountain. At this moment, he undoubtedly alleviated Yun Xiao’s urgent crisis.

On the day Nie Xiaosheng received the information, Yun Xiao, accompanied by Wu Zhukong, hurried to Demons Mountain. In fact, not much time had passed since Ye Ku informed Lu Yanji.

However, Yun Xiao’s companions, such as Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing, were in seclusion striving to reach higher realms, so they didn’t accompany him. The only ones heading here were Lu Yanji, Qingmu Wu, and Qian Sanyuan.

As a mid-stage Heavenly Realm expert, Lu Yanji arrived faster and intervened at this critical moment. With this formidable expert joining, Ma Nu could no longer dominate single-handedly.

Even though Lu Yanji was a cultivator from Tenglong Continent, and many of his battle methods and Meridian Techniques couldn’t match up to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, the gap in Meridian Qi between the two wasn’t as significant as it had been between Wu Zhukong and Ma Nu.

”Yun Xiao, are you alright?”

After being forced back several steps, Lu Yanji adjusted his breath and then turned to Yun Xiao, asking with a tone full of concern.

In Lu Yanji’s heart now, Yun Xiao held immense importance. This was not only due to his talent but also because this rough-clothed youth had saved his life twice.

As he hurried towards Demons Mountain, Lu Yanji genuinely feared finding Yun Xiao’s lifeless body. Such a scenario would mean losing a peerless genius for Lianyun Mountain.

Fortunately, everything was not too late. Neither Yun Xiao nor any cultivators from Demons Mountain had suffered severe blows, and with Lu Yanji on the scene, the situation became increasingly clear.

”Don’t worry, they can’t harm me!”

With Lu Yanji’s arrival, Yun Xiao felt more confident. Given his current strength, the only one he feared was the mid-stage Heavenly Realm Ma Nu.

Now that the greatest threat was taken on by Lu Yanji, Yun Xiao, even when facing Wei Duzheng, a peak Lingyun Realm expert, would not be entirely defenseless.

”That’s good. I’ll handle this old guy; the rest is up to you!”

Lu Yanji scanned the many cultivators in the field and sensed Yun Xiao’s breakthrough to the Lingyun Realm. At ease, he then focused his breath on Ma Nu, who was also in the mid-stage Heavenly Realm.

At this point, Ma Nu’s face turned extremely unsightly, and with his pockmarked complexion, he looked even more hideous.

He rightly knew that among all present, the only ones capable of handling Yun Xiao might be himself and Wei Duzheng. However, with another mid-stage Heavenly Realm expert arriving, he feared he wouldn’t be able to spare any more attention.

Even though Wei Duzheng was a peak Lingyun Realm expert, Demons Mountain had Hou Tianlie, who was in the late Lingyun Realm. Moreover, with the president of the Meridian Refining Master Association present, could others be far behind?

”Lady Xue Qi, the situation has changed. You... should find a chance to escape!”

Sensing the situation on the field, Ma Nu wasn’t too worried about himself. His sole concern was whether Xue Qi could escape from Yun Xiao’s clutches.

The battle prowess the young man had displayed earlier was simply too astonishing. The Empress’ direct disciple of Emperor Canglong couldn’t even offer much resistance against him.

Even though Xue Qi had used the unique Qi Gathering and Ascending Meridian technique of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, she was almost killed by Yun Xiao. With Ma Nu now held up by an equally strong opponent, he couldn’t think of any strategy left for Xue Qi.

Hearing this telepathic message, Xue Qi felt extreme unwillingness. Having just broken through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, she had immediately descended to the Tenglong Continent with the main purpose of humiliating Yun Xiao and taking his life.

Who knew that they would meet face to face, but Yun Xiao had grown beyond her ability to contend, and instead, she was walking into a trap herself.

After witnessing Yun Xiao’s overwhelming strength, regardless of how indignant Xue Qi felt, she understood that she couldn’t match Yun Xiao at this moment. Delaying further might indeed cost her life here.

Boom!

After Ma Nu finished transmitting his message, Lu Yanji had already launched an attack. But such an attack naturally didn’t faze Ma Nu. Once he retaliated, a top-tier battle ensued.

Whiz!

As the fierce battle erupted on this side, Xue Qi, who had made up her mind, didn’t act slowly. Her entire form transformed into a thin line, seemingly about to dash towards the northern sky.

”Hehe, my dear sister, we haven’t had enough of a fight yet, so why leave so soon?”

But just as Xue Qi had darted out several dozen feet, a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears, turning her face pale instantly, for she knew exactly who it was.

In fact, compared to Xue Qi who was desperate to escape, the spectators below could see more clearly. Although Xue Qi was the first to make a move and her speed was extremely fast, the speed of that rough-clothed youth was several times faster.

Everyone clearly saw a pair of silver Thunder Light Wings several feet long emerge from Yun Xiao’s back. With a light flap, he instantly approached the already distant Xue Qi.

After Yun Xiao broke through to the Heavenly Rank Realm or the Lingyun Realm, his two Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins also strengthened, elevating the Thunder Dragon’s Wings to an extremely terrifying level.

Let’s not forget, Yun Xiao activated the second Wind Attribute Ancestor Vein when he broke through to the Floating Life Realm, and during this time, he absorbed a lot of Wind Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

With the support of these two Wind Attribute Ancestor Veins, Yun Xiao’s speed might not be inferior to Wei Duzheng, the peak expert of the Lingyun Realm, over there, right?

Xue Qi was undoubtedly gifted and had a good teacher, but after all, her time was short, and her foundation was far from being as solid as a regular Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage cultivator.

Against ordinary cultivators of the same level, Xue Qi could crush with the means of Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, but this time she encountered Yun Xiao, an exceptional genius even among the demons at Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

At least in terms of speed, Xue Qi couldn’t compete with Yun Xiao. The moment she decided to escape, Yun Xiao knew that this battle might be over soon.

Exerting the Thunder Dragon’s Wings and the power of Wind Attribute Ancestor Vein, Yun Xiao approached Xue Qi from behind within two breaths, and then kicked out ruthlessly, showing no mercy.

This woman named Xue Qi caused him and his mother to be separated, for him and his sister to no longer reunite, she truly courted her own death. At this moment, Yun Xiao selectively forgot the childhood bond of over a decade, his heart filled only with hatred.

Bam!

A sudden kick, combined with a speed like a phantom, left Xue Qi, who only wanted to escape, no time to react. She was directly kicked in the back by Yun Xiao.

”Ugh!”

A mouthful of crimson blood spewed wildly from Xue Qi’s mouth, and her entire body fell like a kite with a broken string, finally plunging into the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall.

Splash!

For a moment, water splashed everywhere, and everyone’s expressions were stunned, whether it was Hou Tianzhu and the others from Demons Mountain, or Wei Duzheng and the powerhouses of Spirit Fighting Commerce, their faces were all frozen.

That genius girl from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, would she really perish under Yun Xiao’s kick? After witnessing Yun Xiao’s physical strength, no one believed such a thing couldn’t happen.

”She seems not dead yet!”

Aside from Lu Yanji still fighting, Yun Xiao had the strongest Power of Soul in the field. Unlike others, he was the first to sense a faint aura from the deep pool.

Swish!

Sensing this aura belonging to Xue Qi, Yun Xiao, adhering to the principle of eliminating the root, moved his right hand slightly, and a dark light shot down from the sky, heading towards the pool of water.

This dark light was naturally Yun Xiao’s controlled Dragon Taming Sword. He believed that even if Xue Qi survived his kick, she must be severely injured.

In such a severely injured state, attacking the enemy again with the Dragon Taming Flying Sword, Yun Xiao had every reason to believe that the woman who caused his family so much harm, would ultimately meet her end.

All eyes were fixed on that dark light descending from above, almost everyone believed Xue Qi was beyond salvation, destined to die under the flying sword of the rough-clothed youth.

Swish!

However, at this moment, a towering water column suddenly surged from the rippling pool, fiercely striking the Dragon Taming Sword.

Despite being an ancient divine weapon of unmatched sharpness, when the Dragon Taming Sword collided with the water column, it suddenly felt an overpowering force, instantly deflecting this unbreakable ancient divine artifact in another direction.

”What happened?”

Seeing this, whether it was Yun Xiao in the sky or the cultivators watching on the ground, their expressions changed dramatically. They clearly knew that the situation on the battlefield might have taken another unexpected turn at this very moment.

Originally, under Yun Xiao’s dominating stance, with Xue Qi being kicked in the back and the unexpected strike of Dragon Taming Sword, it was believed that the genius girl from Nine-layered Dragon Cloud would perish.

Who knew that Xue Qi, falling into the deep pool with severe injuries, still had a countermeasure. Seeing the might of that water column, almost everyone believed that the ensuing twist could indeed alter the outcome of this battle.
