Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”What’s going on?”

Lu Lianheng was extremely shocked. He could imagine that it was due to that previous sound of breaking wind, and that icy cold power, but he really had no idea what it was.

On the contrary, onlookers like Wang Zilang could see certain changes quite clearly. After all, someone had just made a sound, and their attentions hadn’t completely shifted back to the battle.

At that moment, right after the coarse-clothed youth shouted, ”Hit his right rib,” a drop of wine flew out from the cup in his hand, and during its flight, it transformed into a crystal-clear ice granule.

It was evident that what hit Lu Lianheng’s right side was that crystal-clear ice granule. Before this, no one would have thought that the ice granule would hit that Lu Family genius.

And Lu Lianheng’s reaction at this moment made everyone gasp. A tiny ice granule, with such accurate aim, actually caused the actions of a peak Earth Bending Realm genius to come to a halt, obviously having an extraordinary effect.

What everyone didn’t know was that Yun Xiao’s skill of condensing wine into ice wasn’t as simple as it seemed. The place hit wasn’t chosen randomly; it directly struck Lu Lianheng’s Zhangmen acupoint.

The Zhangmen acupoint is an important point on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians; being strongly hit there caused Lu Lianheng’s entire right side to go numb.

With Yun Xiao’s current strength, performing such a skill was just a trivial matter, and it was precisely this unexpected move that immediately caused Lu Lianheng’s downfall.

If Yun Xiao wanted to claim Lu Lianheng’s life, he only needed to add some force to the ice granule. But at this moment, he wanted Wang Zilang to regain his confidence, so it was better to let the Third Young Master Wang take this advantage.

Just now, Wang Zilang, under Yun Xiao’s shout, attacked Lu Lianheng’s right rib without any hesitation, though at that moment, even he didn’t know what effect this punch would have.

However, Wang Zilang already had a blind trust in Yun Xiao, so even though he didn’t know what effect the punch would have, he still did it without any reservations.

It looked as if Lu Lianheng and Wang Zilang were collaborating. The once mighty Meridian Qi vanished the moment the latter’s punch landed, with no defense at all.

Bang!

The following scene needs no further elaboration. Wang Zilang’s powerful punch slammed into the defenseless and half-numbed right rib of Lu Lianheng, directly breaking a few ribs on his right side.

Crack!

The sound of bone breaking was tooth-gritting. Even though Wang Zilang was just a peak Spirit Vein Realm cultivator, the effect was remarkable since his opponent had no defense.

Everyone saw clearly that the genius of the Lu Family, Lu Lianheng, had his right rib deeply caved in. That bone-breaking sound just now was clearly from the ribs being broken.

This famous genius of the Lu Family in Yulong City was seriously injured by Wang Zilang in a single move. Such an outcome was something no one had anticipated at all.

If Wang Zilang defeating Xu Jia, who was at the same peak Spirit Vein Realm, could be traced back with some thought, then Lu Lianheng’s severe injury was entirely unexpected.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was not on the severely injured Lu Lianheng nor on Wang Zilang, who injured him, but instead turned uniformly to the position of a certain coarse-clothed youth.

Even the second young master of the Wang Family, Wang Zitong, was no exception. They all understood that the biggest reason Lu Lianheng was severely injured wasn’t Wang Zilang but this mysterious youth casually drinking wine.

These people weren’t fools. Wang Zilang’s cultivation at the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm was evident. If such a disparity of three Great Ranks could still allow him to fight and win, then what’s the point of cultivation?

Therefore, everyone clearly knew that Wang Zilang’s prior success was primarily due to the coarse-clothed youth holding the wine cup. If the ice granule hadn’t struck Lu Lianheng first, leaving him half-numb, the outcome would have been completely different.

”Who exactly are you? Why meddle in my Wang Family’s affairs?”

Wang Zitong looked at the coarse-clothed youth with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity, questioning cautiously. Before understanding the situation, he could only resort to leveraging the Wang Family’s backing.

At least for now, in Yulong City, the Wang Family’s name carried weight. Offending the Wang Family might mean no longer staying in Yulong City.

”Since you, the legitimate second young master of the Wang Family don’t mind, then I, an outsider, had to step in!”

Yun Xiao drank the wine in his cup in one go, and his words made Wang Zitong’s face turn crimson. How could he not hear the implied sarcasm?

In fact, Wang Zitong was supposed to be Wang Zilang’s most solid support. And yet, in front of his very eyes, he passively allowed the Lu Family, outsiders, to threaten his own brother without any response.

The cause and effect of all this, how could Yun Xiao not see it? Naturally, he stood with Wang Zilang without hesitation, having long loathed Wang Zitong and not sparing any pleasantries.

”You little bastard, dare to offend my Lu Family, just wait for someone to collect your corpse!”

Just as Wang Zitong was rendered speechless by Yun Xiao’s sharp words, Lu Lianheng, whose ribs were shattered, finally came to his senses. Despite the intense pain, he uttered such venomous words.

”Whether anyone will collect my corpse, at least you won’t be around to see it!”

Hearing Lu Lianheng’s rude curses, Yun Xiao turned his face, his eyes suddenly emitted a brilliant gleam. The crowd then witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound of ice freeze spread from Lu Lianheng’s body. Starting from his right rib area, patches of ice flowers began to spread. Within just a few breaths, this Lu Family genius was frozen into a crystal-clear human ice sculpture.

”This...”

Witnessing this scene, those nearby were shocked, but Second Young Master Wang Zitong felt his legs trembling, barely able to stand.

Because Wang Zitong knew that Lu Family genius Lu Lianheng was about his equal. Since the opponent easily froze Lu Lianheng into an ice sculpture, he could naturally do the same to him.

”Haha, my good third brother, your friend here is really impressive!”

At this moment, Wang Zitong knew he didn’t have much friendship with the rough-clothed youth, so he forced a smile and played the emotional card with his third brother, Wang Zilang, who wasn’t far away.

”Tch!”

Hearing Wang Zitong’s words, many curled their lips and showed a disdainful expression. The expertise of Wang Family’s Second Young Master in changing faces truly made people marvel.

He had just consented to Lu Family’s duo calling for Wang Zilang’s blood without a trace of brotherly affection. Now seeing Wang Zilang with an unmatched strong ally, he suddenly called out ”third brother” so warmly.

If not for fearing Wang Family’s power in Yulong City, someone might have ridiculed openly. And at this moment, all gazes turned to the rough-clothed youth, wanting to know his plan.

However, everyone subconsciously believed that even if the rough-clothed youth could easily kill Lu Lianheng, he might not really lay hands on Wang Zitong. After all, Wang Family is the dominant force in Yulong City, anyone contemplating action against Wang Zitong must think twice.

”Brother Yun Xiao, how should we handle him?”

After years of cold suppression, Wang Zilang’s character has become extremely resilient, not softening at all because of Wang Zitong’s smile, directly turning his head to ask.

”This... Brother Yun Xiao, with your strength, if you were to join my Wang Family, you would surely be welcomed as an esteemed guest by my father. Why not come back to Wang Family with me now?”

Seeing the path through Wang Zilang was blocked, Wang Zitong swiftly adapted his strategy. His words were both an allure of position in Wang Family and a subtle declaration that he as Second Young Master of Wang Family isn’t easy to provoke.

Although the rough-clothed youth’s methods seemed peculiar, Wang Zitong believed that the Heavenly Rank experts within his family could certainly handle him. The earlier kill of Lu Lianheng was merely a crafty maneuver.

”Haha, do you intend to lure me into Wang Family and have your Heavenly Rank experts kill me?”

Yet, just when Wang Zitong calculated his plans, a light laughter emerged from the rough-clothed youth’s mouth, making his face slightly change. He thought to himself, ”Is my plan so easily seen through?”

”Well then, I was intending to visit Wang Family anyway, let’s go!”

As Wang Zitong pondered over his plans being seen through, and thought the youth would certainly refuse to visit Wang Family no matter what, the youth surprisingly nodded and stated something that left him confused.

Though Wang Zitong couldn’t comprehend the youth’s intentions, he couldn’t possibly oppose such a proposal. He only imagined the youth bold due to his skills, thinking that once inside Wang Family headquarters, he could easily take control.

Whiz!

And while Wang Zitong was delighting in his plans, a strong gust suddenly erupted from the rough-clothed youth’s location. Immediately, he saw familiar crystal ice granules speeding to his front like lightning.

”Not good!”

In that instant, thoughts flashed through Wang Zitong’s mind like sparks. He realized that Lu Lianheng was ambushed the same way, ultimately having his right rib shattered by Wang Zilang, and then frozen into an ice sculpture.

At this moment, Wang Zitong assumed the rough-clothed youth had a change of heart, deemed his earlier words as mere deceits, and intended to kill him.
