Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 375: 375 Do you have the Ancestor Vein?

Clang!

A metallic clanging sound rang out, and everyone watched in horror as Xue Gong’s seemingly razor-sharp Sword Gang failed to cut through Yun Xiao’s Golden Arm. Instead, it was blasted away, flying off at an angle.

This scene struck the many young disciples as inconceivable, and even the Great Elder Lu Zhan seated in the north was aflutter with surprise in his aged eyes.

Xue Gong was once the most favored disciple of Lu Zhan, so he knew his repertoire of moves intimately. The Fierce Wind Mad Saber technique, when unleashed, had immense power. Even solid stone would be cleaved in twain.

Yet at this moment, Yun Xiao’s arm was more than ten times harder than any stone. No matter how formidable the Fierce Saber Gang was, it couldn’t split his arm in an instant and was instead repelled with force.

Having dispelled the triple Sword Gang, Yun Xiao seemed to have carved out an escape route. The next moment, he appeared right in front of Xue Gong, his fiercely swinging arm shimmering with golden light, sweeping towards the face of the second most talented disciple among the Medical Pulse.

At this instant, Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation was not much weaker than Xue Gong’s. Coupled with his aptitude for using his strengths to the fullest, his Physical Strength was significantly greater than Xue Gong’s. Should this arm strike true, it was probable that the Medical Pulse prodigy would be instantly defeated.

Having witnessed Yun Xiao crushing Yin Huan to death just the day before, Xue Gong didn’t dare to meet this strike head-on. He had no desire to end up like Yin Huan.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, Xue Gong’s aura surged explosively. As Yun Xiao’s strike missed, everyone noticed that Xue Gong seemed to have changed from just moments before.

”It’s the power of the Ancestor Vein!”

Before the onlooking prodigies could react, Yun Xiao sensed the source of Xue Gong’s surging aura at the first instance after his missed strike.

As the former number one prodigy of the Medical Pulse lineage, he was naturally a genuine Mortal Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master. Undoubtedly, he possessed a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein.

At such a critical juncture, Xue Gong cast aside any thoughts of holding back. He only sought to avoid being struck by Yun Xiao’s arm, thus he instantly invoked his Ancestor Vein Power.

Already at the Peak of Meridian Gathering Realm, Xue Gong’s aura became several magnitudes stronger in an instant. Though he hadn’t broken through to the Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm, he was undoubtedly much closer to that level now.

That was how Xue Gong managed to evade Yun Xiao’s seemingly inevitable strike. After avoiding the blow, his expression revealed a trace of smug satisfaction.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Meanwhile, the two Sword Gangs that Yun Xiao hadn’t repelled swiftly attacked, and this time, having made a move against Xue Gong, Yun Xiao finally seemed unable to evade.

Clang!

Another sound of metal clashing resounded. Yun Xiao’s other arm was now glistening with golden light as well. Seeing this, people like Spiritual Pill Moqing felt disconcerted.

Everyone believed that while Yun Xiao had managed to repel another Sword Gang, he couldn’t avoid the one speeding from behind. He couldn’t possibly sprout a third arm to block it, could he?

But reality sometimes doesn’t follow people’s expectations. Just when Xue Gong and all the prodigies of the Jade Pot Sect in the Arena Hall thought Yun Xiao would be hit by the Sword Gang, the shabbily dressed youth made a move that dumbfounded everyone.

Yun Xiao lunged forward, ramrod straight, not bending his legs in the slightest, like a zombie. The formidable Sword Gang ultimately failed to injure him in the least.

Swoosh!

As the Sword Gang whizzed over Yun Xiao, everyone involuntarily gasped, especially the Outer Disciples and the Inner Sect talents who had watched the Outer Sect competition found the scene eerily familiar.

Zombie Body Technique!

What Yun Xiao had just used was a unique Body Meridian Technique he had learned in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, which allowed him to move his body a short distance without bending any joints.

Xue Gong, having witnessed the technique during the Outer Sect competition, was naturally familiar with it, but he had temporarily forgotten due to the overwhelming power of Yun Xiao’s Red Gold Dragon Arm.

However, the fact that the Sword Gang did not strike did not discourage Xue Gong, who, after having wielded his Ancestor Vein Power, felt unprecedentedly powerful. He thought that no matter how many tricks this youngster had up his sleeve, he would be crushed by absolute strength.

”Hmph, am I the only one with an Ancestor Vein?”

Yun Xiao, standing upright from the ground, had a flash of cold laughter in his eyes. In the next instant, the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein within his right arm was also stimulated.

The power of the Ancestor Vein significantly enhances the Meridian Qi, and when this Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein was stimulated, Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation saw a tremendous increase.

However, to break through from the peak of the Meridian Rushing Realm to the early stage of the Meridian Union Realm requires an immense amount of strength. At the moment, Yun Xiao has not even reached the same level as Xue Gong.

”Damn it, we can’t let this kid stimulate a second Ancestor Vein!”

Seeing this scene, Xue Gong suddenly remembered something and immediately let his Fierce Wind Mad Saber fly out of his hand. In mid-air, it transformed into five blades, some real and some fake, deceiving the eyes.

Xue Gong knew that Yun Xiao had more than one Ancestor Vein. If Yun Xiao managed to stimulate a second Cold Ice Ancestor Vein Power, there was a possibility he might surpass himself and potentially break through to the level of the Meridian Union Realm.

If that were to happen, Xue Gong admitted to himself that he could not possibly be Yun Xiao’s opponent. Thus, he made a decisive choice; he absolutely could not allow Yun Xiao to stimulate another Ancestor Vein Power and put himself in jeopardy.

The five Fierce Wind Mad Sabers, real and fake alike, seemed to be enveloped by a faint whirlwind, making them appear somewhat hazy, and the real Fierce Wind Mad Saber was hidden among the four other blades’ energy.

With five sword shadows including his own body, Xue Gong had reached his limit. He was completely confident that if Yun Xiao tried to block with the golden arm like before, he probably would not get away unscathed.

The four fake Sword Lights might not harm Yun Xiao’s golden arm, but Xue Gong was confident because he could change the position of the real Fierce Wind Mad Saber, a Spiritual Rank Intermediate weapon, at will.

No matter how strong Yun Xiao’s physical strength was, he would not dare to confront a Spiritual Rank Intermediate weapon head-on. The Fierce Wind Mad Saber was capable of easily slicing a true Fifth Rank low-level Vein Demon in half.

Watching the five Sword Gangs flying towards him in the sky, a flash of cold laughter disappeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes, and the seal in his hand subtly changed. In front of him, five Sword Lights quietly emerged.

Many were not unfamiliar with this scene, as during the previous Outer Sect competition, Yun Xiao could only summon two or three Sword Lights at most. Now, there were five.

And this might not even be Yun Xiao’s limit. It was only because Xue Gong had launched five Sword Gangs that he countered with just five Sword Lights. Yun Xiao had an absolute confidence in his Meridian Qi attack at the same level.

Puff, puff, puff, puff!

Four consecutive sounds rang out as four of the Sword Gangs clashed with four Sword Lights, and instantly vanished. What followed was the true body of the Furious Wind Saber cutting through the last Sword Light as easily as cutting tofu, howling towards Yun Xiao.

It must be said that the Spiritual Rank Intermediate weapon Fierce Wind Mad Saber was indeed extraordinary. Under its true form, could Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi gathered Sword Light possibly withstand it?

In the astonished gaze of everyone, as the true body of the mad saber was about to strike Yun Xiao and split him in half like the Sword Light,

At that moment, everyone suddenly felt a blur in their vision. It seemed as if the figure of the youth in simple clothing on the arena shifted slightly, followed by the Fierce Wind Mad Saber slashing at empty air.

”What happened?”

Not only the multitude of Inner and Outer Sect Disciples surrounding the hall but even Xue Gong on the arena seemed unable to comprehend what had happened in that moment, his face a picture of bewilderment.

Only the elders of the Spirit Vein Realm sitting in the northern seats, along with the Sect Master Yu Shu and the Sect Leader of Luoyi Sect, Jia Yi, showed a touch of surprise on their faces. They seemed to appreciate the ghostly speed displayed by Yun Xiao just now.

”Xue Gong has lost!”

As Xue Gong’s teacher, Lu Zhan sighed softly. At this point, he had no choice but to admit that under such speed from Yun Xiao, Xue Gong’s fate seemed to be sealed.

Indeed, whether it was Yu Shu or Fu Du, they all agreed with Lu Zhan’s judgment. They knew that Yun Xiao excelled in close combat, and with such speed, Xue Gong no longer had any way to prevent Yun Xiao from closing in.

Moreover, at the moment, Xue Gong was without a weapon in his hands. Given Yun Xiao’s speed, perhaps his fate would be no different from that of Yin Huan yesterday.

On the arena, Yun Xiao, who had vanished from the spot, instantly appeared in front of Xue Gong. Looking at that face of astonishment that still carried a trace of pretense, he felt a wave of disgust.

Yun Xiao didn’t recall offending this Elder brother from the Medical Pulse lineage, but ever since he joined the Inner Sect, Xue Gong had been targeting him at every turn, even turning a blind eye inside the Meridian Treasure, indifferent to whether he lived or died.

Remembering these points, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Yun Xiao’s eyes. With this opportunity, it was time to thoroughly crush the pride of this Medical Pulse genius, to make him no longer so arrogant!

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out, and then everyone was dumbfounded to see Xue Gong’s left cheek swelling at a visible rate.

Yun Xiao had taken advantage of the momentary stun caused by his ghostly speed, and landed a slap squarely on Xue Gong’s left face.

This slap resonated clearly, audible to everyone in the Arena Hall. For a moment, many Inner Sect Disciples familiar with Xue Gong’s temperament couldn’t help but feel schadenfreude, thinking that after such a great humiliation, this brother’s lungs must be on the verge of exploding.
