Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: It’s Him?!

Whoosh!

The gray figure arrived so quickly, almost in just two breaths, it was already within a few feet of the Illusion Yin Grass. At this moment, the top talents of several major forces finally made a move.

This Lake Heart Island spans dozens of yards. Earlier, in fear that the battle would reach the Illusion Yin Grass, everyone kept a somewhat safe distance. Although they reacted timely, it seemed slightly slower than the gray figure.

However, these people are not easy targets, especially the genius from Spirit Fighting Commerce, Su Jian. As he swept out, a ray of light had already surged from his body, shooting at the gray figure at extremely high speed.

”It’s Su Jian’s Meridian Spirit!”

Witnessing this change, the talents instantly recognized the nature of the ray of light. But this time, Su Jian employed a different Meridian Spirit than before; not the Yellow Spirit Stone Ape but a more rapid, small-shaped Vein Demon.

It seemed to be a snake-shaped Meridian Spirit less than three feet long, and its speed was incredibly fast. In just a split second, it glided towards the direction where the gray figure stretched his arm, or rather, where the Illusion Yin Grass was located.

Su Jian saw clearly that the gray figure’s stretched right hand appeared to be holding something. But he was extremely confident in his Meridian Spirit’s strike, thinking that as long as that guy dared to continue retrieving the Illusion Yin Grass, his arm would surely be bitten by his snake-shaped Meridian Spirit.

Don’t underestimate Su Jian for being unlike Li Gongnian, a Poison Vein Master, because his snake-shaped Meridian Spirit contains extremely potent venom. Once bitten, even a cultivator at the half-step Earth Realm might succumb to the poison in a matter of moments.

Su Jian once fought a genuine Early Stage of Earth Bending Realm powerhouse, ultimately causing that powerhouse to lose three fingers because of the venomous Meridian Spirit. Truly formidable.

Like Su Jian from Spirit Fighting Commerce, top talents also have the ability to battle across stages, and even against ordinary Early Stage Earth Bending Realm opponents, they wouldn’t easily lose.

Unfortunately, Su Jian’s opponent this time is an extraordinary and unpredictable demon. Whether this tactic would work remains to be seen soon.

Several forces’ talents all made moves, among which Su Jian’s venomous snake Meridian Spirit was the fastest. At this moment, everyone speculated, thinking that the one who suddenly tried to grab the Illusion Yin Grass was doomed.

After all, almost all of the outstanding young talents from the Tenglong Continent had gathered here. That gray figure attempting to snatch the Illusion Yin Grass was certain to be killed by the top talents before succeeding.

In the midst of everything, when Su Jian released his venomous snake-shaped Meridian Spirit, the gray figure’s right hand unexpectedly did not evade. This scene left Su Jian and the spectators with a disdainful look.

Is this what is meant by ”people risking their lives for wealth?”

That guy really seemed reckless, not even dodging for such a venomous Meridian Spirit to snatch the Illusion Yin Grass. Truly a classic case of people risking their lives for wealth!

Crack!

The next moment, everyone heard a crack, and Su Jian’s snake-shaped Meridian Spirit’s mouth viciously bit onto the gray figure’s right arm.

The snake-shaped Meridian Spirit seemed like a leech wanting to burrow into the flesh, its snake body swaying as it fixedly bit the enemy’s arm, appearing strange and terrifying.

”No saving it!”

Seeing this, Su Jian gently shook his head, showing no trace of pity. By now he sensed that the gray figure seemingly was just someone from the Late Stage of Seeking Origin Realm.

Su Jian was very confident in the venom within his snake-shaped Meridian Spirit, the same venom that tortured even Early Stage Earth Bending Realm powers, let alone someone from Late Stage Seeking Origin Realm.

But in the next moment, including Su Jian himself, everyone clearly saw the gray figure who was bitten by the venomous Meridian Spirit reach forward again and grab the pale red Illusion Yin Grass with his right hand.

Only now did everyone see that the gray figure’s right hand seemed to be wearing a thick glove, the reason they previously found the palm peculiar. Clearly, the person knew the Illusion Yin Grass’s seductive effects and dared not touch it with bare skin.

”Die!”

At this point, the genius from Xuanyin Hall, Gu Changsheng’s attack finally landed. His speed was just slightly slower than Su Jian’s Meridian Spirit, and he had just sensed the gray figure’s Meridian Qi.

In Gu Changsheng’s view, with his cultivation at a half-step Earth Bending Realm, attacking a Late Stage Seeking Origin was overkill. This palm strike was meant to kill the ignorant figure.

As Gu Changsheng uttered the word ”Die,” he suddenly saw the coarse-clothed figure spin half a circle, and a black light slashed upwards, sending lightning-fast thoughts through his mind. The previously advancing move unexpectedly pulled back at this critical moment.

Boom!

At the same time, the speed of Long Xiwawa, the Demon Child of Wuyan Palace, was not slow, almost reaching the target simultaneously with Gu Changsheng’s attack, and despite his short stature, this strike aimed directly at the abdomen of that gray-clad figure with both fists.

Don’t be fooled by Long Xiwawa’s peculiar appearance, resembling a child who has just turned ten, but everyone present knows the terrifying extent of his power. His physical strength, combined with the fire attribute attack power of Wuyan Palace, can unleash a force far beyond what ordinary cultivators can imagine.

And the reaction speed of the gray-clad figure was incredibly fast. After repelling Gu Changsheng with a black light attack, his right foot suddenly swung out and fiercely clashed together with Long Xiwawa’s fists.

Seeing this scene, countless people had cold, disdainful smiles on their faces, all thinking that the gray-clad figure was overestimating his abilities.

A guy at the Late Stage of Seeking Origin Realm actually dared to go head-to-head with a half-step Earth Realm Demon Child from Wuyan Palace. He’s probably going to die with broken tendons and bones next!

Moreover, at this moment, there’s a venomous Meridian Spirit biting on that person’s right arm. Perhaps he won’t even need Long Xiwawa’s power to erupt; in the next moment, this guy might just die from the poison.

Boom!

The sole of the gray-clad figure’s right foot finally collided with Long Xiwawa’s fists. However, what happened next nearly caused the jaws of every onlooker to drop to the ground.

”Hiss...”

The sound of gasping in shock was heard everywhere because the top genius from Wuyan Palace, Long Xiwawa, who was reputed as the Demon Child, was forced back three steps by that gray-clad figure’s kick, and his aura became somewhat chaotic.

He was the first genius of Wuyan Palace, and on the entire Tenglong Continent, perhaps only a few, like Su Jian and Gu Changsheng, could be considered worthy rivals.

Yet now, Long Xiwawa’s initial attack was countered by the gray-clad figure, who then forcibly pushed the Demon Child back three steps. One can imagine just how formidable that physical strength must be.

”Could it be Ye Ku from Lianyun Mountain has arrived?”

At this moment, many minds were filled with thoughts, wondering that apart from those from the Meridian Refining Master Association, one of the four top forces, no young individual could have achieved such a feat.

The gray-clad figure forcing the Demon Child of Wuyan Palace back with that move not only stunned all onlookers but also halted the movements of the Chang Family brothers from Impermanence Island, who were planning to join the attack.

These two were merely ordinary geniuses at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, and although they were twins capable of rivaling half-step Earth Realm cultivators, they self-admitted that in terms of physical strength, they definitely couldn’t surpass Long Xiwawa.

As the Chang Family brothers paused, the appearance of that gray-clad figure now stood revealed in the dim light of the seventh level of Xuanyin Cave, visible to all the talents present.

”It’s him?!”

Upon seeing the face of the gray-clad figure clearly, everyone felt a sense of familiarity, and suddenly the earlier scene of Long Xiwawa being repelled became clear.

”Yun Xiao?!”

Aside from the ordinary talents who were watching, Su Jian, Gu Changsheng, and Long Xiwawa couldn’t help but utter a name because they might have a deeper impression of this person than the other ordinary talents.

Especially Su Jian, whose voice contained a trace of gnashing of teeth because it was in this Xuanyin Cave that his two junior brothers died because of Yun Xiao, and he’s been thinking of avenging this huge grudge.

Gu Changsheng naturally had some unpleasant encounters with Yun Xiao in Xuanyin Hall, and this guy seemed to have some unclear relationship with Lady Xue, whom he had long seen as a romantic rival.

As for the Demon Child Long Xiwawa, although he didn’t have much interaction with Yun Xiao, they discreetly clashed at the Extreme Yin City tavern, leading their relationship to lean towards a more jealous and hostile stance.

The only ones who hadn’t had any encounters with Yun Xiao were the Chang Family brothers, who stalled temporarily upon recalling all those rumors about him, deciding to watch the attitudes of the surrounding talents first.

”Yun Xiao!”

In the crowd of talented onlookers, there were plenty who gritted their teeth at that plainly-clad young man, such as the two from the Killing Heart Sect, especially Ye Suxin, the Su Shou Yanluo, whose interaction with Yun Xiao dates back to the events in Thunder King Valley.

Later, Ye Suxin even took the Seven Killings Guardian Zheng Qiming on a chase to hunt Yun Xiao, and almost had her surname changed to Yun, a promise she never fulfilled, knowing all too well that she might never regain her standing.

Other observing talents, including Nie Xiaosheng from Shenxiao Sect and Jun Tieshu from Firewood Valley, stared fixated at that plainly-clad young man, a strange glint in their eyes.

Despite the fact that the young man now holds the Illusion Yin Grass in his hand, with so many talents surrounding him, it’s not going to be easy to successfully carry the Illusion Yin Grass out of Xuanyin Cave.
