Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 75: 75 I don’t want to catch up with you!

An unforeseen incident not only caused Zhao Ningshu’s previously smug expression to turn grim, but even the surrounding young geniuses including Yin Huan and Mo Qing were caught off-guard.

...

However, before anyone could react, a plump figure had already soared into the air, bypassing Zhao Ningshu and even Zhao Xingwu and landing steadily before Mo Qing, seemingly within a distance of about ten feet.

This figure that flew towards Mo Qing turned out to be Ling Wan. Just when he was about to suffer severe injuries under Zhao Ningshu’s palm, perhaps even death, a sudden turn of events happened unexpectedly fast.

Mo Qing glanced at Ling Wan, who appeared somewhat bewildered, then suddenly shifted her gaze back to where the fight took place. She slightly furrowed her brows, as she suddenly felt that the frail figure who appeared on the scene in shabby clothes seemed vaguely familiar.

”Yun Xiao? This... how is this possible?”

Compared to Mo Qing, another Jade Pot Sect Inner Sect Disciple by her side, Yin Huan, involuntarily exclaimed in shock upon setting eyes on the shabbily dressed youth, her voice even containing a hint of terror.

Even the surrounding geniuses were startled by Yin Huan’s exclamation. Many of them had witnessed Yun Xiao in Medicine Valley before, knowing his cunning ways, and how even the Third Prince of the Empire had suffered a loss at his hands.

Despite Yun Xiao’s countless cunning methods, it wouldn’t warrant a well-known Inner Sect Disciple of the Jade Pot Sect being so shocked, right? This made it seem like Yun Xiao and Yin Huan already knew each other?

As this thought emerged in everyone’s minds, Mo Qing had already turned and asked directly, ”Do you know that young man?”

After a brief moment of surprise, Yin Huan calmed herself down, her expression somewhat peculiar. Seeing Mo Qing’s genuine inquiry, she replied, ”No, I don’t know him, I was just curious!”

The reason Yin Huan found it odd was because she suddenly recalled that Mo Qing had met Yun Xiao in the Talisman Poison’s residence. Could it be that a brief glimpse then had been forgotten?

But when Yin Huan looked again at the shabbily dressed youth, she noticed some clues. The Yun Xiao they saw in the hall that day was unkempt and filthy, his face even showing colors of a rainbow due to the Seven-Colored Immortal Spider’s poison.

Now, Yun Xiao, after some time had passed, had regained a healthy complexion, and even though his hair was still somewhat disheveled, he looked like a normal youth. With such a drastic change in appearance, it was naturally difficult for Mo Qing to recognize him at the moment.

The cruel acts committed by the Talisman Poison Master and disciple could not be spoken openly, and Yin Huan knew that the young genius before him from the Medical Pulse lineage, who detested evil and couldn’t tolerate a bit of sand in her eyes, was someone who would even confront her own master.

Although Yin Huan guessed why Mo Qing didn’t recognize Yun Xiao, his mind was already filled with shock, thinking if his teacher found out, he would likely be as stunned as he was.

A youth who had been declared dead, and the one declaring it was a genuine Spirit-grade Advanced Pulse Refining Master, and moreover, Yun Xiao’s ”corpse” had been personally discarded by Yin Huan in a certain part of Yulin Mountain Range, in his heart he never thought there would be a day he’d meet Yun Xiao again.

But now, the one who in his mind had turned to icy water, appeared alive and well in front of him, and the shock to Yin Huan was undoubtedly immense.

The one who had just acted against Zhao Ningshu, and also brought Ling Wan before Mo Qing, was naturally Yun Xiao. He had rushed over, not expecting to witness such an infuriating scene right upon his arrival.

In a sense, Tan Yun’s squad was Yun Xiao’s lifesaver, and since Ling Wan was the first to discover his ”corpse”, he could not remain indifferent ethically or emotionally.

Now having advanced to the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm, Yun Xiao didn’t even need to invoke Ancestor Vein Power to confront Zhao Ningshu, who was at the early stage of Meridian Gathering Realm, thus he had the confidence to stand before this eldest among the Zhao Family.

Regarding Ling Wan’s origins, Yun Xiao had already learnt from Tan Yun and others, so he really had no good impressions of the Zhao Family. As the old saying goes, even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, but these people, they are truly worse than beasts.

”Yun Xiao!”

Zhao Ningshu reacted in outrage as his seemingly assured strike was thwarted and when he turned back and saw that familiar figure and face, the words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Truth be told, there wasn’t really enmity or deep hatred between Zhao Ningshu and Yun Xiao; it was initially outside Medicine Valley due to Ling Wan that Zhao Ningshu took an immense dislike towards this shabbily dressed youth.

Later in the battles inside Medicine Valley, Zhao Ningshu’s resentment towards Yun Xiao grew as he wanted to please the Third Prince, Xuan Zhi, but ended up letting Yun Xiao escape from his hands, which in a sense, was a blatant loss of face for him.

Even though that previous clash made Zhao Ningshu realize Yun Xiao had reached the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm, he still relied on his own strength at the Early Stage of Meridian Gathering Realm, believing that it was absolutely impossible for him to not handle Yun Xiao.

”Sorry, I don’t want to catch up with you!”

Being stared at by Zhao Ningshu, Yun Xiao’s next words nearly caused Zhao to spurt out blood in anger. Immediately, his Meridian Qi surged violently, swearing to kill this detestable youngster under his palm.

Little did Zhao Ningshu know, just as his Meridian Qi began to surge, Yun Xiao in front of him had already disappeared from sight. Shortly after, a familiar voice full of anger came through—that voice was unmistakably from Cao Luo of the Cao Family.

It turned out that Yun Xiao had already caught a glimpse of Tan Yun in a dangerous situation out of the corner of his eye. Given a slight misstep, she could be severely wounded by Cao Luo, so naturally, he had no time to waste words with Zhao Ningshu.

Yun Xiao, having reached the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm, was extremely fast. Just like before, in the nick of time, he clashed head-on with Cao Luo, and then with a slap on Tan Yun’s back, she flew like riding the clouds, arriving a dozen feet away in front of Mo Qing.

It seemed that Yun Xiao had already heard Mo Qing’s words from afar. He himself wasn’t afraid of Cao Luo and Zhao Ningshu, but if any of his friends were hurt, that was something he didn’t want to see.

Having his plan disrupted by Yun Xiao, Cao Luo was naturally not in a good mood. As he shouted forcefully, he saw Yun Xiao’s figure move slightly, causing him to instinctively tighten, and he yelled loudly, ”Second brother, third brother, be careful!”

It seemed that the hit before had made Cao Luo clearly feel Yun Xiao’s true strength. Thinking about this youngster’s usual oddness, he knew his two brothers were probably no match for him.

Unfortunately, Cao Luo’s warning came a bit too late. Yun Xiao first targeted Cao Jun, the weakest of the Cao Family. With his current strength at the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm, facing Cao Jun at the Late Stage of Meridian Introduction Realm, he probably didn’t even need one round.

Cao Jun, who had been pushing a small team of young fighters into disarray, never expected disaster to strike from above. Just as he heard his elder brother’s shout, he felt a tremendous force hitting his back, and then he was sent sprawling several meters forward, unable to hold back spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.

For these enemies who had formed a grudge, Yun Xiao naturally wouldn’t show mercy. His kick broke several bones in Cao Jun’s back, causing severe injuries to this youngest member of the Cao Family.

Yun Xiao lightly waved his right hand, sending that member of the young team flying towards Mo Qing. This smooth and flowing scene made Mo Qing’s beautiful eyes light up, thinking to herself that this youngster really had some tricks.

After kicking Cao Jun and seriously injuring him, Yun Xiao didn’t even bother with the elder brother of the Cao Family, who was furiously roaring behind him. His figure spun, going directly to face Cao Ju.

At this moment, Cao Ju was fighting two-on-one. As a cultivator at the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm, his suppressing Meridian Qi made it hard for the two young fighters in the Middle Stage of Meridian Introduction Realm to even breathe, and he was on the verge of a complete victory.

However, Cao Ju couldn’t have imagined that Yun Xiao’s speed would be so fast, and his own third brother was so easily defeated. He originally wanted to critically injure the two youngsters before Yun Xiao could strike, but now it seemed impossible.

But Cao Ju wasn’t panicked at all. Even if Yun Xiao had also reached the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm and had some frightening tactics, he didn’t believe with his strength at the same peak, he couldn’t even take one hit from Yun Xiao?

As long as he could hold off Yun Xiao, Cao Ju believed his elder brother would definitely arrive in no time. Besides, Zhao Ningshu from the other side was also itching to move. There’s no way Yun Xiao could escape this time.

Unfortunately, this Cao Ju, the second eldest of the Cao Family, had overestimated himself or underestimated Yun Xiao. Was this just an ordinary cultivator? Even at the Late Stage of Meridian Introduction Realm, he could break his right palm, let alone now at the same peak.

Bang!

Crack!

First, everyone heard a loud collision of fists, followed by the sound of breaking bones, and then they all knew what had happened.

Because at this moment, Cao Ju’s remaining left wrist was bent at an extremely weird angle, clearly having been blasted apart during the clash with Yun Xiao’s fist.

At this moment, with Cao Ju’s right palm completely shattered and his left wrist bent at such an odd angle, the sight looked somewhat comical, but there was not a single person who could laugh.

”Ah!”

The sudden pain of the broken wrist made Cao Ju somewhat lose control, and a scream echoed around the suddenly very silent scene. They had never thought that with a single strike at the same Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm, this well-known prodigy of the Cao Family could not withstand even the slightest resistance.

”Big brother, kill him for me, kill Yun Xiao!”
