Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

These human cultivators, even the worst of them have been trapped for more than ten years, and some have been stuck in this Chongxiao Stairs space for over a hundred years. Their spirits have long been worn down by the passage of time.

In the hearts of these cultivators originally from Tenglong Continent, nothing is more urgent than leaving this Chongxiao Stairs space, even returning to Tenglong Continent is much better than wandering around aimlessly in this space.

"Kill him, and there’s hope of leaving here!"

This is the most straightforward thought for all the trapped cultivators; thoughts of the Strange Spirit or the human clan’s righteousness have been thrown to the winds, overwhelmed by that instant madness.

Seeing the countless figures rushing towards him, Yun Xiao finally realized his words probably didn’t have much effect. He could only brace himself, and first deal with these guys.

"I advise you, if you persist in being stubborn, don’t blame me, Yun Xiao, for being ruthless with my sword!"

In an instant, countless cultivators swarmed forward, Yun Xiao drew the Dragon Taming Sword from his back, lightly waved it twice, and his words were regarded as a final warning.

Yun Xiao is not any kind-hearted person, and these guys were not controlled by the Half-step Holy Spirit’s spiritual wisdom, but just shouting to kill him to achieve their goals. So how could he have any mercy?

"Humph, just a brat with all hair not yet grown, daring to charge into Chongxiao Stairs, you better go back and rebuild yourself before coming back!"

Just after Yun Xiao finished speaking, a bearded elder snorted angrily. He was the quickest to rush forward, and having not sensed Yun Xiao’s true cultivation, he was the first to attack.

This bearded elder, only at the Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage, shouted for Yun Xiao to rebuild himself while his actions were merciless, clearly intending to slap this roughly dressed youth to death for a chance to leave the Chongxiao Stairs space.

"Ignorant fool!"

Upon hearing the bearded elder’s snort, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with killing intent, and then he swiftly swung the Dragon Taming Sword horizontally and vertically in front of him.

Swish swish!

Two black lights swept across the sky, the bearded elder appeared unchanged, but those strong cultivators behind him, at least at the Cloud Ascending Realm, froze upon seeing these two black lights.

With a whirr!

A moment later, as a trace of unbelievable light appeared in the bearded elder’s eyes, his entire body was instantly cut into four pieces.

It turned out that Yun Xiao’s Dragon Taming Sword was extremely sharp, and his sword speed was incredibly fast, directly slicing the bearded elder into four segments with two strokes.

Suddenly, at this Chongxiao Stairs entrance, organs were scattered bloodily on the ground, causing the previously confident human cultivators to look suspiciously uncertain.

"Everyone attack together, be aware of that wooden sword in his hand!"

After a moment of shock, the obsession to leave the Chongxiao Stairs space finally overcame sanity, as a Late Stage Cloud Ascending Realm cultivator shouted, seemingly revealing the truth of the earlier scene.

In this Late Stage Cloud Ascending Realm cultivator’s view, Yun Xiao had unexpectedly killed a Middle Stage Cloud Ascending Realm cultivator due to the deceptive wooden sword, merely a surprise tactic that was nothing impressive.

The fact was that nobody sensed Yun Xiao’s true cultivation yet, for his age was too misleading. When they were his age, they hadn’t even broken through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm.

With the guidance of this Late Stage Cloud Ascending Realm expert, everyone felt slightly less surprised. It was not long before they surrounded Yun Xiao.

On the other hand, the few Heavenly Realm experts did not act with the Late Stage Cloud Ascending Realm cultivators. Their eyes flickered with a strange light, seemingly observing calmly.

Those surrounding Yun Xiao, mostly Late Stage Cloud Ascending Realm experts, included two Peak Cloud Ascending Realm experts, and their faces were filled with undisguised confidence.

Firstly, their strength was much greater than that bearded elder who died under Yun Xiao’s sword; secondly, they believed Yun Xiao’s wooden sword was sharp but once revealed, would pose no threat.

What they failed to see was the fleeting ridicule in the eyes of the roughly dressed youth when they encircled him.

"Seems like being trapped in Chongxiao Stairs has worn away all your rationality!"

Watching these stubborn human cultivators, Yun Xiao knew he had to slaughter today. He originally didn’t want to be enemies with unfamiliar human cultivators, but since they sought death, they couldn’t blame him.

"Attack!"

The previously speaking Late Stage Cloud Ascending Realm expert shouted and rushed out first. He once dominated Tenglong Continent, but after entering the Chongxiao Stairs, he had been trapped for decades, unwilling to continue.

Whoosh!

The speed of this Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert was undeniably fast. Just in the two breaths after his words fell, a Meridian Qi Spear was already in front of Yun Xiao, targeting his throat, a critical point.

"Die!"

A deep shout followed. It seemed that this Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert had wised up and did not engage Yun Xiao in close combat like the bearded elder earlier. Instead, he attempted to crush him with his Meridian Qi Cultivation.

In this Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert’s view, the young opponent could not possibly surpass him in terms of Meridian Qi Cultivation. Under such a Meridian Skill attack, the outcome was likely predetermined, wasn’t it?

Thunk!

However, just as everyone expected that the coarse-clothed boy would be pierced by the Meridian Qi Spear, they watched in astonishment as Yun Xiao slowly raised his arm, lightly tapped the spear’s tip, then came a crisp sound.

In the next moment, everyone clearly saw that the Meridian Qi Spear, unleashed by the Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert with his formidable Heavenly Rank Intermediate Meridian Technique, was effortlessly shattered by the youth just in his early twenties, dispersing it into thin air.

"How is this possible?"

At this moment, whether it was the Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert who wielded the Meridian Qi Spear, or the other cultivators encircling Yun Xiao, everyone gasped in shock.

That was a Heavenly Rank Intermediate Meridian Technique, deployed by a Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert. Even a Lingyun Realm Peak expert wouldn’t dare to touch it lightly, would they?

Yet, that absurdly young coarse-clothed boy swatted it away like a fly, with such ease that they were momentarily unable to move or act rashly.

"What are you hesitating for? Could it be that a mere single person can defeat all of us together?"

Having his technique easily broken, the Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry. After a brief moment of shock, he roared furiously, feeling it still wasn’t enough.

"Have you all forgotten the frustration of being trapped in the Chongxiao Stairs for decades? Only by killing that brat can we have hope of breaking free!"

At this time, the Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert almost became a spokesperson for the Half-step Holy Spirit, even using words to entice. His statement made the killing intent in Yun Xiao’s eyes even stronger.

"Yes, that brat can’t fight against all of us. Everyone, charge!"

Another Lingyun Realm Late Stage expert, inspired or perhaps swayed by the previous one’s words, voiced out. Immediately, several Lingyun Realm Late Stage experts rushed to attack Yun Xiao together.

"I gave you all a chance. It was you who didn’t take it!"

Seeing the situation reach this point, Yun Xiao’s last bit of patience had worn thin. With a cold voice, he waved the Dragon Taming Sword, and severed limbs flew into the air instantly.

Indeed, whether it was Yun Xiao’s initial words or later slashing someone into four parts with two sword strikes, it was all to warn these individuals not to be swayed by the Half-step Holy Spirit’s lure.

Yet, these human cultivators, trapped in the Chongxiao Stairs for decades, seemed to have lost their sanity, believing that by sheer numbers, they could kill the youngster and gain the opportunity to leave.

Unfortunately, only Yun Xiao, someone who had dealt with countless Strange Spirits, knew that the promises of the Strange Spirit Clan were as unreliable as discarded garbage.

If you try to negotiate with the Strange Spirits, it is always the humans who end up at a disadvantage. Yun Xiao had seen it countless times over the years. Without even mentioning others, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River had reversed itself more than once.

Thus, Yun Xiao believed that even if these humans could really kill him, the Half-step Holy Spirit wouldn’t honor its promise. These were just its amusements; how could it easily release them?

However, these people, trapped for so long, were oblivious to it being just a scheme of the Half-step Holy Spirit. This was an opportunity they couldn’t let go, as they had waited too long for it.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Dragon Taming Sword danced in Yun Xiao’s hand. With his current strength at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage, how could these cultivators, at most the Lingyun Realm Peak, withstand a single sword strike?

Therefore, after flashes of dark light, several arms flew off, accompanied by two human heads. The scene was bloody; although these people vigilantly guarded against his wooden sword, they still couldn’t defend against it.

The few Heavenly Realm experts outside exchanged glances upon seeing this, each perceiving shock and fear in the other’s eyes.

They wondered inwardly, if they were surrounded by so many Lingyun Realm Late Stage experts, even if they could ultimately win, it wouldn’t be as effortless as that coarse-clothed youth.
