Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Does anyone else want the Illusion Yin Grass?”

In the silent seventh level of the Xuanyin Cave, a faint voice suddenly rang out in the exceptionally quiet space, causing these talents from various sects of the Dragon Continent to remain silent for a moment.

Although it was not a long battle, those two severely injured by Yun Xiao were top talents of the Spirit Fighting Commerce and Xuanyin Hall. No one present, not even Long Xiwawa from the Wuyan Palace, dared to claim they were stronger than those two.

The Illusion Yin Grass is valuable, but one must be alive to enjoy it. Everyone understood that if it weren’t for Yun Xiao possibly being wary of the backgrounds of the Spirit Fighting Commerce and Xuanyin Hall, Su Jian and Gu Changsheng might have already met with King Yan.

But that rough-clothed youth was unpredictable, and if anyone dared to provoke him further, they might invite disaster. Under the threat of the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, no one dared to rashly provoke that god-like slender youth for the moment.

”Everyone, listen to me!”

Just as Yun Xiao was looking down on all the talents, a slightly weak voice suddenly came from somewhere, and when everyone turned to look, they found that it was Su Jian, the top talent of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, who spoke.

At this moment, Su Jian was obviously in a dispirited state due to severe injuries, though his arms seemed to be forcefully set right. His injuries were slightly lighter than Gu Changsheng’s, but to say he had any combat power left would be overstating it.

Everyone, including Yun Xiao, did not expect Su Jian to dare speak out at this moment—was he tired of living?

However, since someone was willing to take the lead, the crowd remained silent. To be honest, watching Yun Xiao so forcefully take the Illusion Yin Grass, they were all unwilling, hoping some change might occur.

”Think about it carefully. If Yun Xiao walks away with the Illusion Yin Grass, what’s the point of entering Xuanyin Cave this time? Did those brothers and friends who died at the hands of the Vein Demon die in vain?”

Su Jian was quite a distance from Yun Xiao at this moment. Though usually remarkably shrewd and cautious, it seemed the recent push by the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon had knocked out his rationality, still trying to incite hatred against Yun Xiao, potentially inviting destruction.

”Everyone, we have so many people. Are we still afraid of a lone Yun Xiao? I don’t believe his strength alone can be a match for us nearly a hundred people combined.”

This was likely the true purpose of Su Jian’s words. Although he had lost, and might not have the strength to contend for the Illusion Yin Grass, he definitely did not want to see it fall into Yun Xiao’s hands, wanting to make things difficult for him at this time.

”Su Jian is right. If we don’t get rid of that Yun Xiao kid, we’ll never have a chance at obtaining the Illusion Yin Grass!”

This time, the response came from Jiang Wanyou, the second talent of the Xuanyin Hall. Although he was somewhat afraid of Yun Xiao for severely injuring his esteemed brother Gu Changsheng, he was eager not to miss the chance to add insult to injury.

At this time, everyone’s gaze shifted to Long Xiwawa of the Wuyan Palace because they knew that even if they teamed up to deal with Yun Xiao, the Illusion Yin Grass would likely fall into the hands of this Wuyan Palace talent at the half-step Earth Realm. After all, both Su Jian and Gu Changsheng were seriously injured.

The only ones left who could contest with Long Xiwawa, besides Yun Xiao himself, might be the Chang brothers who were still fighting vigorously, but it was clear that the Chang brothers could no longer join forces to attack.

”Brother Long, you should also know that if Yun Xiao isn’t eliminated, your chances of getting the Illusion Yin Grass won’t be much better than mine or Brother Gu’s. So I implore you, regardless of the outcome, to abandon your bid for the Illusion Yin Grass. What do you say?”

It seems Su Jian hadn’t lost his reason; in an instant, he returned to the state of tactical maneuvering before his injury. With his astute mind, he discerned the thoughts of these talents, so he immediately engaged them.

Upon hearing Su Jian’s words, Long Xiwawa felt some hesitation. To be honest, he had high aspirations, and upon coming to the Xuanyin Hall, his ultimate goal was to obtain the Illusion Yin Grass from the Xuanyin Cave and finally bring the Xuanyin Hall’s eldest lady back to the Wuyan Palace.

However, in truth, this Wuyan Palace’s young demon, Long Xiwawa, had no admiration for the Xuanyin Hall’s eldest lady, and the Wuyan Palace and the Xuanyin Hall were archenemies.

Although they didn’t openly confront each other, underlying conflicts with covert attacks were endless, with cultivators slain in each other’s hands numbering at least eight hundred if not a thousand.

Long Xiwawa wanted to marry Xue Ningxiang into the Wuyan Palace, which would disgrace the Xuanyin Hall on a grand scale. Such an event could not be openly opposed by the Xuanyin Hall, thus allowing Long Xiwawa to exploit this loophole.

Under normal circumstances, Long Xiwawa wouldn’t consider Su Jian’s proposal at all. However, at this moment, given Su Jian and Gu Changsheng’s lessons in failure demonstrated the crude youth’s terrifying strength, he had no choice but to reconsider.

For some reason, despite not having any real vendetta with Yun Xiao, Long Xiwawa inherently disliked that rough-clothed youth and desperately wanted to eliminate him promptly.

”Alright!”

After a moment of contemplation, Long Xiwawa finally nodded slowly; this not only allowed the nearby geniuses to breathe a sigh of relief but also cast a shadow on the faces of several members of Lianyun Mountain.

Ye Ku and others did not expect that even after Su Jian had been beaten into such a state by Yun Xiao, he would still want to stir up trouble here.

Looking at nearly a hundred young geniuses nearby, although most were only in the middle to late stage of Seeking Origin Realm, when united, they truly formed a force not to be ignored.

In Ye Ku’s view, even if Yun Xiao had forcefully defeated the combined efforts of Su Jian and Gu Changsheng, two half-step Earth Bending Realm geniuses, there are limits to human strength, and Meridian Qi is not endless. A hero cannot withstand being outnumbered, and once the Meridian Qi is depleted, death would surely follow.

”These shameless guys!”

Seeing that the boundless Meridian Qi had already started to envelop Wuyan Demon, and as people like Ji Sanjian from the Killing Heart Sect, Jun Tieshu from Firewood Valley, and Nie Xiaosheng from the Shenxiao Sect were on the verge of making moves, Si Mo from the Sky Poison Institute couldn’t help but curse, but this did nothing to change their minds.

After all, the most feared among these onlooking geniuses were only Su Jian, Gu Changsheng, and Long Xiwawa. In the previous contest, they had clearly lost possession of the Illusion Yin Grass.

No one expected that the opportunity thought to have been lost would dramatically return after the appearance of the young man in coarse clothes, Yun Xiao, offering a real chance for change.

Now that Su Jian and Gu Changsheng were both seriously injured and unlikely to have the ability to fight again, and Wuyan Demon, Long Xiwawa, had publicly promised not to fight for the Illusion Yin Grass, the brothers from the Chang Family were even less considered.

The lost qualification had suddenly returned, and everyone’s mind was consumed with greed for the Xuanyin Grass. But to snatch food from Yun Xiao’s mouth, at least among the younger generation of the Tenglong Continent, no one had managed to do it yet.

”One last piece of advice, from now on, I will show no mercy!”

Amidst the excited crowd with many auras focusing on him, Yun Xiao maintained an indifferent expression, although his words carried an invisible killing intent.

In fact, Yun Xiao had spared Gu Changsheng, the Xuanyin Hall genius, since his relationship with Xue Ningxiang was quite good, and he didn’t want to escalate the conflict beyond repair.

However, he had no intention of sparing the Spirit Fighting Commerce’s genius, Su Jian. The fact that Su Jian managed to keep his life was mostly due to the mysterious power of a pendant he possessed.

Yun Xiao was not a compassionate saint. The number of cultivators who died by his hand was countless. Particularly in his previous life as the Long Xiao Battle God, every expedition he led was marked by a bloody path that would send shivers down the spine.

Since these people overestimated their abilities and wanted to die by trying to seize the Illusion Yin Grass, Yun Xiao had no pity left for them. Why would he be polite to those seeking their own deaths?

”Everyone attack together, I don’t believe he has three heads and six…”

The Xuanyin Hall genius Jiang Wanyou undoubtedly became the leader of this attack on Yun Xiao. As for the stronger Wuyan Demon, Long Xiwawa, Ye Ku would certainly not let him make a move against Yun Xiao.

Whoosh!

As Jiang Wanyou shouted, yet did not finish his sentence, the crowd heard a whooshing sound from behind him, like something piercing through the back of his neck and out of the front throat, causing his face to turn instantly frightened.

Experiencing the formless breath, people like Ye Ku and Si Mo, who had been through the Lianyun Mountain annual contest, felt some familiarity.

Especially seeing Jiang Wanyou raise his hand to clutch his neck, blood still seeped through his fingers, giving a sense of extreme familiarity.

Dragon Taming Nine Swords First Style: Flying Hidden!

The technique Yun Xiao employed was, of course, the Dragon Taming Nine Swords he acquired from the Refining Treasure Hall’s Treasure Mountain. This Meridian Technique, tailored for the Dragon Taming Sword, allowed Yun Xiao, even if only at his first style, to repeatedly claim the lives of his enemies.

The top genius of the Heavenly Hospital, Bai Wushuang, fell like this, as did the Spirit Fighting Commerce genius Kou Baichuan. And now the second genius of Xuanyin Hall, Jiang Wanyou, with his throat pierced by the Dragon Taming Sword, was clearly beyond saving.

When everyone saw the wooden sword finally appear before Jiang Wanyou, they all gasped because not a single one had noticed when Yun Xiao had even summoned this wooden sword.

Besides the few geniuses of Lianyun Mountain, perhaps only Su Jian from Spirit Fighting Commerce had seen this strange Flying Concealment technique from the Dragon Taming Sword, recognizing that his also-peak Seeking Origin Realm junior brother, Kou Baichuan, had clearly also fallen to this strange and elusive flying sword.
