Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Lion Spirit, block that thing!”

Summoning the Spiritual Fire Lion, Ma Nanfeng’s confidence surged. His deep voice seemed to converse with the Lion Spirit, which sounded peculiar to everyone present.

In fact, a Meridian Spirit that had been refined and stripped of its spiritual wisdom normally had no independent consciousness, yet Ma Nanfeng was still speaking to it, which was indeed strange.

”Roar!”

However, the Spiritual Fire Lion Meridian Spirit really seemed to have heard Ma Nanfeng’s words, as it let out a majestic roar before darting forward to confront the Five-Colored Light Beam.

Judging by size alone, Yun Xiao’s Five-Colored Light Beam was incomparable to the massive Spiritual Fire Lion, but no one noticed the fleeting, playful gleam in the eyes of the young man in simple clothing.

This Meridian Technique of the Five Elements Light Beam was a method Yun Xiao researched from his Five Elements Ancestor Veins, and when it spun counter-clockwise, it could turn into a formidable Decomposition Power.

Everything in the world derived from the Chaos Five Elements, and Yun Xiao’s beam decomposition power was a method to decompose everything back into Chaos Particles, which was extremely bizarre.

Unfortunately, others had not seen it before, and Ma Nanfeng had not even heard of such an ultimate technique, so his Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Spirit Spiritual Fire Lion faced tragedy the next moment.

Sizzle!

The Five-Colored Light Beam’s speed did not falter for a moment and, in the next instant, collided fiercely with the gigantic Spiritual Fire Lion, leading to an incredibly magical scene.

The massive form of the Spiritual Fire Lion suddenly froze, and that small Five-Colored Light Beam, as if possessing some peculiar magic power, brought its forward momentum to an abrupt halt when it penetrated its body.

Even some with keen insight could see a trace of subconscious panic in the huge eyes of the Spiritual Fire Lion, like encountering an extremely terrifying powerful enemy.

In fact, the Meridian Spirit had no spiritual wisdom, the fear in the Spirit Fire Lion’s eyes was merely Ma Nanfeng’s consciousness coming through. It seemed he realized he had been too reckless this time.

Poof!

In just the span of two breaths, the immense Spiritual Fire Lion, frozen, shattered instantly like a sand sculpture struck by a mighty force.

It was as if a solid entity made of liquid was dispersed; the scene presented to everyone at that moment was extremely bizarre. The once mighty Spiritual Fire Lion vanished in an instant.

This was a true disappearance, not something Ma Nanfeng had retracted using any method, and such a bizarre scene left the Emperor Palace plaza inside and out exceptionally quiet.

”What kind of power is that?”

Many were deeply puzzled, unaware of a force that could decompose a physical entity into Chaos Particles in an instant. Such high-level methods might only be understood by the great powers of a higher plane like the Li Yuan Realm?

At this moment, Yun Xiao’s magnificent move astonished everyone, leaving them wondering what other magical and bizarre methods this obscure young man had.

”Damn it!”

Unlike the detached onlookers, Ma Nanfeng, as a direct party, couldn’t accept it. The more he fought with Yun Xiao, the more he discovered Yun Xiao’s endless techniques.

The Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Spirit Spiritual Fire Lion couldn’t even withstand a single strike from the Five-Colored Light Beam, and now, not even a trace of its remains could be found—it was simply terrifying.

Already harboring a bit of fear towards Yun Xiao, Ma Nanfeng involuntarily considered retreat. He realized that his Meridian Qi Cultivation, one small realm above Yun Xiao, seemed utterly useless.

”Seems like it’s best to retreat for now!”

With these thoughts, Ma Nanfeng, who intended to battle Yun Xiao for three hundred rounds, found his confidence crushed by Yun Xiao’s Decomposition Light Beam, considering escape as a newfound plan.

But Ma Nanfeng didn’t see, when this thought first formed in his mind, the flash of brilliance deep in the young man’s eyes, as if Yun Xiao had anticipated all of his thoughts.

”Lord Supervisor, I will assist you!”

Just as Ma Nanfeng contemplated a retreat, a voice he was extremely familiar with suddenly sounded from behind, filling him with surprise and delight.

”Elder Shan?!”

When Ma Nanfeng turned his head, he saw the Emperor Palace’s Great Elder, Shan Changxin, coming towards him in mid-air, and the joy on his face grew even more intense.

”You... weren’t you already...”

In a flash of thought, Ma Nanfeng felt that the events unfolding before him were unbelievably unimaginable, yet he didn’t want to delve deeper into it, for this had undoubtedly become the turning point of today’s situation.

Earlier, Ma Nanfeng clearly saw Shan Changxin have his limbs broken by Yun Xiao, and his Dantian crippled, turning him into a cripple, even inferior to an ordinary person.

Because of this, Shan Changxin narrowly escaped with his life under those blood-red fire dots, but as a cripple, Shan Changxin had lost almost all his combat power and could no longer be of any use to the Emperor Palace.

Such a cripple should now be able to appear within the range of the Emperor Palace, isn’t it an extraordinary event? It was this think that left Ma Nanfeng feeling odd, yet at this moment he obviously did not want to think more about.

”I was pretending all along, Lord Supervisor, if the two of us join forces, killing Yun Xiao would be a great achievement, wouldn’t it?”

Shan Changxin’s eyes sparkled with a glimmer, casually explaining, and his last words made Ma Nanfeng’s eyes shine brightly.

To be honest, Ma Nanfeng had already resolved to avoid Yun Xiao’s sharpness earlier, but if he added the help of a Heavenly Realm Late Stage Shan Changxin, the situation might indeed turn around.

”Wait a minute, Elder Shan’s Meridian Qi?”

As Ma Nanfeng thought of Shan Changxin’s Meridian Qi Cultivation at the Heavenly Realm Late Stage, he suddenly noticed something different about this Great Elder’s aura, and his eyes flashed with a trace of ecstatic surprise again.

”Hehe, Yun Xiao thought he was ruthless, but unexpectedly he actually completed me, allowing me to successfully break through to the Heavenly Realm Peak!”

Seeing the other side had discovered it, Shan Changxin’s face showed a proud expression, which made Ma Nanfeng not doubt any more, and he thought that Heaven indeed assisted the Emperor Palace, turning the tables incredibly.

If a Heavenly Realm Late Stage Shan Changxin could not greatly boost Ma Nanfeng’s confidence, then a successfully breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm Peak Shan Changxin would give him boundless confidence.

No matter how you say it, Yun Xiao is ultimately only a Heavenly Realm Late Stage cultivator, no matter how strange and powerful his methods, how could he be a match for two Heavenly Realm Peak experts joining forces?

”Shan Changxin actually had a fortuitous break and reached the Heavenly Realm Peak; the situation in the field might change again now!”

The onlookers naturally also saw the scene above sky. Shan Changxin’s words were not covered, allowing some cultivators with strong Power of Soul to clearly hear, and they were all whispering to each other now.

Some deep-minded people, though they were puzzled by Shan Changxin’s current state, the fact was that Shan Changxin was the Great Elder of the Emperor Palace, which was undeniable.

Unclear as it was, everyone selectively believed Shan Changxin’s words, inwardly exclaiming that this Great Elder of the Emperor Palace indeed had extraordinary methods to fool even that demon-like youth.

”Shan Changxin, you... how... how is this possible?”

While everyone was feeling emotional, the coarse-clothed youth in the sky also had a face full of disbelief, seemingly extremely puzzled by Shan Changxin’s appearance and breakthrough.

”Haha, Yun Xiao, didn’t expect it, today this square of the Emperor Palace is your burial ground!”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s reaction seemed to dispel Ma Nanfeng’s last doubt, he looked up and laughed three times, only feeling that the usually suppressed situation today had finally been turned around by him.

”Elder Shan, I’ll attack from the front, you find a chance to deliver a fatal blow!”

Cocky with great success, Ma Nanfeng was now full of confidence and eager to move, fearing that the coarse-clothed boy might escape, he had turned to confront Yun Xiao right after speaking.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The moment Ma Nanfeng turned around, the previously eloquent Great Elder of the Emperor Palace, Shan Changxin suddenly transformed, and in the blink of an eye became a familiar Black Light Wooden Sword.

Such a transformation, even the onlookers couldn’t comprehend for a moment, let alone Ma Nanfeng, who was confident to team up with Shan Changxin to kill Yun Xiao.

Whiz!

All ears heard a light sound, then the tip of the Black Light Wooden Sword directly pierced through Ma Nanfeng’s back, and out from his chest, bringing up a splash of blood, appearing both bizarre and bloody.

Everyone was caught off-guard by this sudden change, how could a living Great Elder of the Emperor Palace, Shan Changxin who just spoke, suddenly turn into a wooden sword and stab Ma Nanfeng with a transparent hole?

”That Shan Changxin... was originally Yun Xiao’s Wooden Sword?!”

It seemed there were astute individuals in the crowd, an old man with graying hair, after pondering for a moment, finally revealed a truth, leaving those who heard speechless.

These silent individuals obviously came to the same realization, and their gazes were filled with dread as they looked at the Black Light Wooden Sword that had already returned to Yun Xiao’s hand, all were silent at that moment.

A wooden sword that could move at will, a wooden sword that could even transform into a human, these cultivators from Drunken Immortal City already vaguely guessed a possibility, but that possibility was too unbelievable for them to accept for a while.
