Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Third brother, don’t blame your second brother, blame yourself for being too useless!"

Watching Xu Jia’s actions, Wang Zitong’s eyes flickered with a strange light. Perhaps in his view, in the next moment, his useless third brother would be going to meet King Yan.

Including Lu Lianheng and others nearby, they naturally thought the same. How could Wang Zilang, the infamous waste of the Wang Family, who suffered from Innate Pulse Cutting, possibly be a match for Xu Jia, a Peak of Spirit Vein Realm cultivator?

Hoo...

However, just when everyone thought Wang Zilang was in big trouble, they saw that as Xu Jia’s punch was about to land, the young man suddenly tilted his body slightly.

In this way, Xu Jia’s powerful punch, delivered without warning, didn’t touch Xu Zilang at all, stunning many people. Was this really the waste of the Wang Family known for so many years?

Even Wang Zitong was a bit stunned at this moment. Although as a Peak of Earth Bending Realm strength, he looked down on Xu Jia, a Peak of Spirit Vein Realm, in his heart, he at least believed that Wang Zilang with his Innate Pulse Cutting couldn’t stir any waves.

As a Peak of Earth Bending Realm formidable figure, Wang Zitong had some discernment. Xu Jia’s attack was fierce and fast; if it were an ordinary person without cultivation, they would have been smashed to death in an instant.

Since Wang Zilang could avoid such a quick and powerful strike, it indicated he couldn’t still be that waste from before. This made Wang Zitong feel a hint of unease because of his third brother’s evasion.

"Xu Jia, be careful!"

Just as Wang Zilang was filled with endless thoughts, Lu Lianheng from the Lu Family, a genius, reacted quickly. Seeing his expression change slightly, he issued a warning.

Unfortunately, Lu Lianheng’s warning came a bit too late. Almost as he shouted, Wang Zilang’s hand blade struck fiercely at Xu Jia’s throat, producing a light sound.

Originally, when Xu Jia launched his attack, Wang Zilang already had some plans. He knew that since both he and his opponent were at the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, if a real fight broke out, his chances of winning would not be great.

This was perhaps because Wang Zilang had been a waste for too long and lacked confidence in himself, and he didn’t understand the Meridian Qi infused by Yun Xiao very well, causing him to be especially cautious.

He hid his strength well, and his opponent didn’t sense it, letting Wang Zilang know it was a perfect opportunity. If he struck unexpectedly, it might yield some unexpected results.

One has to say that Wang Zilang’s plan was quite successful this time. Xu Jia assumed he was a waste without Meridian Qi cultivation and didn’t pay any attention to his own defense while attacking, leading to this fatal crisis.

Xu Jia, missing his strike completely, never expected the other’s reaction to be so swift. His attack didn’t land on Wang Zilang’s vital points, but instead, he was caught off guard.

With planning against an unprepared Xu Jia, when Wang Zilang’s hand blade struck Xu Jia’s throat, he knew the battle was over. Until the soft sound emitted, he was more confident of victory.

"Heh! Heh!"

The throat-cut Xu Jia only felt intense pain attacking as he stretched out his hand to point towards the standing Wang Family waste, wanting to say something, but he could only emit meaningless sounds.

Bang!

After a moment, the unwilling and pained Xu Jia finally dissipated his breath, collapsing powerlessly to the ground, motionless, obviously unable to survive because of his severed throat.

For a moment, the entire third floor of the pavilion was particularly quiet, as this was a result no one had expected. Wasn’t that the wasteful third young master of the Wang Family? How did he kill the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm Xu Jia in one move?

"Not bad!"

Yun Xiao, seemingly already aware of this outcome, complimented while holding a glass of wine, breaking the strange and heavy atmosphere in the scene.

"Peak of Spirit Vein Realm..."

Wang Zitong, the second young master of the Wang Family, finally sensed the Meridian Qi aura of Wang Zilang, his expression turning extremely gloomy.

Although Wang Zilang’s Peak of Spirit Vein Realm cultivation wasn’t impressive in the eyes of Wang Zitong, a Peak of Earth Bending Realm genius, it undoubtedly exceeded his expectations, catching him off guard.

Originally, Wang Zitong disliked Wang Zilang extremely. If the other side remained a waste and stayed in a place like Five Desolate Village all his life, he wouldn’t mind letting him linger in this world.

But when a waste of more than ten years suddenly regained cultivation talent and improved at such a rapid pace, it was quite hard for the jealous Wang Zitong to accept.

After all, Wang Zitong knew that it hadn’t been long since Wang Zilang was relegated to the Five Desolate Village. In such a short time, he had grown from an utterly worthless Innate Pulse Cutting waste to the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm, which was truly astounding.

Therefore, the killing intent in Wang Zitong’s heart undoubtedly intensified. If not for the presence of too many people and prying eyes, he would have immediately been unable to resist the urge to strike and kill his blood-related third brother right here.

"Peak of Spirit Vein Realm, Wang Zilang, you are so despicable!"

While Wang Zitong’s mind was swirling with these thoughts, the Lu Family genius, Lu Lianheng, was the first to erupt. Upon hearing his loud accusation, many onlookers couldn’t help but smirk.

Clearly, it was your Lu Family guard Xu Jia who struck first. Now you blame Wang Zilang for being despicable? This is simply inexplicable. Blame only Xu Jia for being too complacent, which resulted in his own demise.

After all, if others had such an opportunity, probably ten out of ten would do the same as Wang Zilang. If one can kill an enemy unexpectedly, why bother to expend unnecessary effort?

"Despicable? Lu Lianheng, open your eyes and see clearly who struck first. I was merely defending myself!"

Wang Zilang cast a nonchalant glance at Lu Lianheng. His words left the latter unable to retort, so he could only attempt to crush Wang Zilang with his soaring Meridian Qi.

"You dare to kill my Lu Family guard, today you won’t leave this pavilion alive!"

After Lu Lianheng’s deep voice fell, his Meridian Qi at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm surged out, causing some low-rank cultivators to involuntarily step back a few paces, their faces filled with dread.

Lu Lianheng, at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, was simply in a different league compared to the earlier Peak of Spirit Vein Realm Xu Jia. The gap between them was a full three Great Ranks, a distinction between the Spiritual Rank Three Realms and the Earth Rank Third Realm.

After reaching the Earth Rank Third Realm, one can already mobilize Earth Power for personal use, which is a fundamental advancement in cultivating oneself and utilizing the power of heaven and earth. The two are utterly incomparable.

Therefore, Lu Lianheng was extremely confident. Under such a Great Rank disparity, if Wang Zilang could still stir the slightest ripple, it would indeed be fantastical.

"You little bastard, prepare to die!"

In his fury, Lu Lianheng directly cursed. Such a name-calling caused Wang Zitong, standing aside, to grimace awkwardly. After all, he and Wang Zilang shared the same mother. The words "little bastard" undoubtedly included him as well.

The overwhelming aura pressed down, turning Wang Zilang’s face pale. No matter what, he was only at the Peak of Spirit Vein Realm, not even reaching the Earth Rank Qi-seeking Realm. How could he be a match for Lu Lianheng?

"Hit his right rib!"

Yet, at this moment, just when everyone thought Wang Zilang was about to be crushed to death, a clear voice suddenly came from an angle, leaving several people slightly taken aback.

The peripheral vision of some people quickly caught sight of the speaker, the coarse-clothed boy who was just sitting at the same table as Wang Zilang. However, as the fight broke out suddenly, nobody paid attention to this stranger.

But at such a critical moment, a young lad barely in his early twenties actually voiced that Wang Zilang should confront a Lu Family genius at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm. It seemed utterly presumptuous, didn’t it?

Second Young Master of the Wang Family, Wang Zitong, wore a faint mocking smile. As a fellow powerhouse at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, he knew full well how formidable Lu Lianheng’s assault was this time.

Even Wang Zitong himself would need to first avoid its sharp edge and see if there were any opportunities to counterattack. There was no way he could just turn defense straight into offense against such a strike.

Since Wang Zilang was determined to use someone else’s strength for his gain, the person at the same table with him, Yun Xiao, certainly couldn’t be allowed to stay. Yun Xiao’s words had, in his heart, already sentenced him to death.

Yun Xiao’s prompt was not masked at all, and as Lu Lianheng continued to burst towards Wang Zilang, seeing the supposed waste young master of the Wang Family actually punch towards his right rib, he couldn’t help but smile coldly.

If speaking of confidence, Lu Lianheng probably harbored much greater self-assurance than Wang Zitong. Who gave that Wang Family waste the audacity to genuinely attack his right rib at such a time?

It wasn’t just Lu Lianheng’s ability; especially since the coarse-clothed boy’s shout was heard by everyone, if Wang Zilang’s strike could truly succeed, Lu Lianheng might as well drop dead on the spot.

Lu Lianheng was undoubtedly a cautious person. Although he didn’t believe Wang Zilang could harm him, after witnessing Xu Jia’s fate, he instinctively gathered his Meridian Qi at his right rib to guard against any unforeseen incident.

Swoosh!

Yet, at this moment, the sound of breaking wind suddenly resonated. Immediately, an Ice Cold Power erupted, causing Lu Lianheng’s face to change dramatically. He felt his right side completely numb, unable to move even the slightest.
