Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Perhaps only an equally brilliant Island Master is worthy of Lord Yun Xiao, right?”

Luo Qianshan naturally supported his Island Master strongly. Moreover, in his heart, among these female friends following Yun Xiao, only Hu Ying’er’s strength was considered the strongest.

However, neither Luo Qianshan nor those cultivators from Yongle Island knew that Yun Xiao already had someone in his heart. The genius Shen Xingmou from the Star-picking Tower, who once chased him over a thousand miles and finally became intimate with him, was his one true love.

But no matter what, the means that Yun Xiao used this time eventually broke through the Sky-covering Water Formation, which was like a turtle shell.

This was a large array that countless top powerhouses of the Tenglong Continent, even many Heavenly Rank Array Masters, could not break. Yet, unexpectedly, it seemed so simple for that simply dressed young man to break it.

Earlier, although everyone heard Yun Xiao’s bold declarations, no one truly believed he could break the Sky-covering Water Formation, let alone within the given timeframe.

Especially when they saw the sun was only half-visible, everyone thought time was running out, and that the three inside, Liu Hanyi and the others, might meet an unfortunate end.

Who would have thought that the result would be like this? That young man, with a single hand of Ancestral Vein Ice Cold Power, directly froze the Ten Miles Chongxiao River. Such means, such courage, truly inspired admiration unintentionally.

At this moment, even those like Duan Zixiao from Sky Thunder Valley, Zhao Gujin the Zhao Family Patriarch, and the Destroyer Venerable from Thunder Sound Mountain, who had conflicts with Yun Xiao, thoroughly dismissed any rising thoughts they had.

Even though a considerable battle still awaited between Yun Xiao and the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River, since the array had already been broken, with so many human cultivators gathered here, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River likely had no way to turn the tides.

In battles against Strange Spirit experts, there’s no need to stress solo combat. This time’s duel, dubbed between You River and Yun Xiao, would have likely seen You River slain on the Stepping Heavenly Stone long ago by the combined forces of Lu Yanji, Xue Tianao, and others, if not for the Sky-covering Water Formation’s overpowering strength.

It can be said that before this great battle began, Yun Xiao had already laid the foundation for human victory. Being able to break the Sky-covering Water Formation had undoubtedly placed the humans on an invincible footing.

”Hmph, even if you can break the array, so what? Aren’t they still going to die?”

As everyone believed that You River was in deep trouble, suddenly a cold snort emanated from the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit’s mouth, and then something on the Stepping Heavenly Stone started to move again.

Before Yun Xiao arrived earlier, You River intended to kill Ling Wan to vent frustration. When Yun Xiao appeared, the water arrow aimed at Ling Wan halted in mid-air, remaining motionless.

But now, as You River’s cold snort faded, the previously static water arrow started to move again. The arrow instantly split into three, shooting swiftly towards Liu Hanyi, Mo Qing, and Ling Wan.

”This is just shameless!”

Seeing this, the numerous spectating cultivators below all cursed vehemently, their voices filled with intense anger, as if they couldn’t find words to describe this Strange Spirit expert.

You River clearly stated earlier that if Yun Xiao could break the array before sunset, he would spare the lives of Ling Wan’s trio. Now, Yun Xiao succeeded at the last moment, yet this guy went back on his word. His shamelessness was unparalleled.

However, upon remembering it was a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, everyone felt a bit helpless. How could a Strange Spirit possibly uphold integrity with human cultivators?

Such betrayal of trust might be the norm after all?

At this moment, Yun Xiao was still beneath the Stepping Heavenly Stone. Even if he moved swiftly, rescuing Ling Wan and the others was definitely impossible.

Moreover, Liu Hanyi, Mo Qing, and Ling Wan were bound by some special aura, unable to move or even make a sound. How could they possibly avoid the oncoming water arrows?

”Could it be that Yun Xiao’s efforts, despite his skills, are to end in failure?”

Seeing this, Li Yunfan, Ouyang Wuantong, and others couldn’t help but despair. Human capabilities have their limits. Though Yun Xiao’s array-breaking techniques were exceptionally brilliant, rescuing at this moment was nearly impossible.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The speed of the three water arrows was astonishingly fast. As the three top geniuses were about to have their throats pierced, unexpectedly, three figures suddenly darted to the Stepping Heavenly Stone, pulling the three geniuses aside at the critical moment.

Those who charged onto the Stepping Heavenly Stone in time to save Liu Hanyi and the others were naturally Lu Yanji, Xue Tianao, and Wu Zhukong. All true Heavenly Realm experts, rescuing someone unexpectedly posed no challenge.

Especially Lu Yanji at the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm, who, while rescuing Liu Hanyi, struck the water arrow with his other hand, shattering it effortlessly, showcasing surplus power.

As for Xue Tianao and Wu Zhukong, though they didn’t shatter the water arrows, they successfully saved Ling Wan and Mo Qing. Thus, at this moment, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit’s intention to kill in anger was rendered futile.

”How could those three’s rescue actions be so timely? Could it be they knew ahead of time that Yun Xiao would successfully break the array?”

Sky Thunder Valley Valley Master Duan Zixiao’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, as he muttered, his gaze suddenly shifted to a certain rough-clothed young man.

”Just as expected!”

When Duan Zixiao saw the rough-clothed young man, with no trace of worry on his face, his heart suddenly came to a realization, clearly thinking of a possibility.

”It seems Yun Xiao had already prepared Lu Yanji and the others, hence the timely rescue; such intelligence, truly awe-inspiring and fearsome!”

At this moment, when Duan Zixiao looked at the rough-clothed young man, his gaze was filled with a hint of fear, the last trace of resentment deep within vanished beneath the opponent’s absolute strength.

What Duan Zixiao could think of, people like Ouyang Wuantong and Li Yunfan also realized shortly after, indeed, Lu Yanji and the other’s intervention had been too timely, no one could believe there had been no preparations in advance.

In an instant, like the Destroyer Venerable from Thunder Sound Mountain, the mysterious Sect Leader from Killing Heart Sect, and the Zhao Family Patriarch Zhao Gujin, all like Duan Zixiao, made up their minds not to provoke Yun Xiao anymore, deciding to detour upon seeing him.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise of killing that Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River, now that the large array has been broken, the hostage used as a life-saving talisman has been rescued, only destruction awaits this Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit.

”Damn it!”

Seeing Liu Hanyi and the others being rescued, You River on the Stepping Heavenly Stone couldn’t help but speak out in rage, knowing the prior development of events was all within his plan aside from Yun Xiao not appearing.

No one knew this rough-clothed young man’s arrival would, in just a few incense sticks’ time, effortlessly break the Sky-covering Water Formation and easily rescue the three hostages.

Each event made You River feel like he had fallen into Yun Xiao’s calculation, his original plan was to absorb Yun Xiao into the array when he broke it, allowing him to engage in a one-on-one battle with this human youth.

You River, who freely controlled the large array, could naturally let people in at will, although he was an Intermediate Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, he didn’t have the nerve to oppose all human cultivators.

After all, on the human side, there was Lu Yanji, a Middle Stage Heavenly Realm expert, if truly encircled, You River admitted even escape would be extremely difficult.

But now, as the Sky-covering Water Formation was broken and the hostages were no longer a factor, You River faced all the human cultivators present, deeply feeling a deadly crisis.

Whoosh!

When You River was furious, a sound of breaking wind came from not far away, as he turned, he saw another familiar rough-clothed figure appear on the Stepping Heavenly Stone.

”How about it? Does my array-breaking skill meet your expectations?”

Naturally, Yun Xiao had appeared, wearing a faint smile. His question nearly caused You River to explode.

”Yun Xiao, do you dare to battle this king for three hundred rounds?”

Scornfully repressing his anger, You River issued a challenge to Yun Xiao. However, upon hearing this, the human cultivators below couldn’t help but smirk with disdain.

”Yun Xiao, against such shameless, skinless abominable spirit, no need for one-on-one combat rules, let’s all take action and kill it!”

At this moment, Lu Yanji had handed Liu Hanyi over to the rushing Qingmu Wu, suddenly heard You River’s challenge, and couldn’t help but respond in a deep voice, truly afraid Yun Xiao’s youthful vigor would fall for You River’s provocation.

Upon hearing Lu Yanji’s words, Xue Tianao and Wu Zhukong handed over the young talents in their hands, and then, formed a triangle position, surrounding You River on the Stepping Heavenly Stone.

Everyone agreed Lu Yanji’s words were sensible, after all, You River’s earlier shameless and despicable actions were witnessed by all. Compared to being deceitful and untrustworthy, encircling and killing him wasn’t considered a big deal.

”Ha, such a mere Intermediate Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, where’s the qualification to have all you seniors take action?”

However, as Lu Yanji, Xue Tianao, and others thought Yun Xiao would prioritize the big picture and agree to the encirclement of Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River, the rough-clothed young man spoke these two sentences.

”Yun Xiao, don’t act impulsively!”

Xue Tianao, clearly not sensing Yun Xiao’s true cultivation level, couldn’t help but interject, always assuming Yun Xiao only had Peak of Lingyun Realm cultivation.

Though this youth had transcended battles before, even with victories, this was the gap between Lingyun Realm and Heavenly Realm, not to mention battling an intermediate sense Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit with tremendous combat power.
