Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Dad, I... my Dantian Meridians were destroyed by that little bastard. You have to avenge me!"

Just moments ago, Zeng Lianhu was filled with venomous hatred, but upon seeing his father arrive, his expression changed instantly, and his tone carried a trace of sobbing, extremely aggrieved.

"Don’t worry, Hu’er. I will make him suffer ten times, a hundred times more than you!"

Zeng Changshou was, however, a man who could hold his composure. Although he was extremely sorrowful and angry inside, he merely patted Zeng Lianhu’s shoulder lightly and finally turned his gaze to the two figures standing at the entrance of the shed.

However, Zeng Changshou’s gaze didn’t linger on Wang Zilang for even a moment. He used to be a house slave of considerable standing in the Wang Family and never regarded this Wang Family’s waste seriously.

Therefore, Zeng Changshou’s pair of vicious eyes fixed firmly on that unfamiliar rough-clothed young man. He believed it was this stranger, whom he had never seen before, that had crippled his son.

"Kid, no matter who you are or where you come from, daring to harm my son Zeng Changshou, you won’t leave Five Desolate Village today!"

Because his son had become a waste like Wang Zilang, Zeng Changshou simply didn’t show the anger in his heart. But towards the rough-clothed boy, his murderous intent had reached an extreme.

Of course, Zeng Changshou could speak these words because this was Five Desolate Village, a very remote and desolate village in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Western Region. Anyone appearing here couldn’t possibly be a big figure.

The Wang Family might be dominant in the vicinity of Yulong City, but in the entire Tenglong Continent, they’re insignificant, even not having a single Holy Rank Third Realm powerhouse, only considered as bottom rank.

Zeng Changshou didn’t sense Yun Xiao’s true cultivation, and the latter’s age was highly deceptive, so like Zeng Lianhu earlier, he didn’t think the young man posed much of a threat.

Being able to cripple Zeng Lianhu, a Spirit Vein Realm Middle Stage cultivator, didn’t necessarily require a formidable expert. Some Spirit Vein Realm Late Stage or even Peak cultivators could accomplish it.

Zeng Changshou himself was at the Earth Rank Seeking Origin Realm Late Stage and was the number one powerhouse in this Five Desolate Village. Even in Yulong City, he wouldn’t be considered weak.

Therefore, Zeng Changshou was very confident. If this guy dared to cripple his precious son, he had to pay ten, a hundred times the price. Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean anyone could step on the head of the village chief of Five Desolate Village?

"An old man at merely the Seeking Origin Realm Late Stage, who gave you the courage to speak to me this way?"

As soon as Zeng Changshou’s icy voice fell, and Wang Zilang secretly worried, unexpectedly, such words came out of the mouth of the rough-clothed young man, causing a sudden silence in the field.

Keep in mind, Zeng Changshou was, after all, a mighty expert at the Seeking Origin Realm Late Stage. Though he was unremarkable in the entire Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, in this barren area, he was an existence causing everyone to tremble.

Earlier, Yun Xiao effortlessly crippled Zeng Lianhu, but Wang Zilang still wasn’t very confident that he could defeat Zeng Changshou.

"Hahaha, kid, you are indeed the most arrogant young person I’ve ever seen in my life, Zeng Changshou!"

Zeng Changshou seemed amused by Yun Xiao’s words, a burst of wild laughter as his Seeking Origin Realm Late Stage cultivation erupted, causing Wang Zilang beside Yun Xiao to almost lose his footing, finally steadying himself against the wall of the shed.

"Kid, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. If you kneel down and kowtow nine times to my son, perhaps I can give you a swift end!"

Feeling the surging Meridian Qi within himself, Zeng Changshou was quite proud. The continuation of his words made a flash of delight pass through Zeng Lianhu’s eyes.

Due to his Dantian being crippled and meridians severed, Zeng Lianhu’s venomous hatred was boundless. He had already envisioned how he would deal with this detestable young man once his father crippled Yun Xiao’s cultivation.

"If you kneel and plead for mercy now, perhaps I could be merciful enough to leave you an intact corpse!"

Zeng Changshou’s words clearly erased Yun Xiao’s last bit of patience. He might have wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength wouldn’t allow it. As a dignified Heavenly Realm Middle Stage powerhouse, continually provoked by ants, it was just intolerable.

Moreover, after this period of face-to-face conversation and seeing Zeng Lianhu’s attitude toward Wang Zilang, Yun Xiao believed that by eliminating this father and son pair, he might actually be doing Five Desolate Village a favor by removing two great menaces.

"In that case, don’t blame me then!"

The exceedingly confident Zeng Changshou was also infuriated to madness by Yun Xiao’s words. His surrounding Seeking Origin Realm Late Stage Meridian Qi surged, forming threads of Meridian Qi, winding toward Yun Xiao.

This rough-clothed boy refused the toast and took the penalty wine; Zeng Changshou decided he definitely couldn’t let him die easily. Therefore, instead of using powerful attack methods, he intended to use these Meridian Qi threads to first bind Yun Xiao.

"Is this your capability?"

Seeing the Meridian Qi threads surging toward him, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but let out a cold snort. Then his right hand stretched out as a trace of blood-red flames suddenly ignited, and this space was suddenly filled with a blazing heat.

Chi chi chi...

A sudden series of light sizzling sounds emerged; it was the raindrops falling from the sky, instantly evaporated upon touching the blood-red flames, failing to reach the ground at all.

However, merely evaporating the raindrops did not make Zeng Changshou feel the slightest bit of apprehension, and his strands of meridian qi did not slow down at all, getting closer and closer to Yun Xiao.

Yet, in the next moment, whether it was Zeng Changshou himself, or Zeng Lianhu and Wang Zilang, they all witnessed an incredibly unbelievable scene, nearly causing their eyes to pop out.

They saw Yun Xiao lightly flick his fingers, and the blood-red flames transformed into several scarlet light spots, precisely striking countless strands of meridian qi.

In an instant, in the space where Yun Xiao and Zeng Changshou stood, a brilliantly splendid sight emerged; the threads touched by the blood-red flames seemed to turn into blood-red spiritual snakes, continuously twisting and rolling, quite mystical.

However, at this moment, Zeng Changshou’s expression became somewhat unsightly, because those flying fire snakes were beyond his control, and the blood-red flames set his meridian qi alight upon contact.

"Seems like I’ve misjudged this time!"

Zeng Changshou, a cultivator who has seen much of the world, knew from the feedback of those meridian qi threads that his current methods could not resist those blood-red flames.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

But just as Zeng Changshou was having some thoughts, the blood-red meridian qi fire snakes instantly broke free from his control, instead dashing towards his body.

Seeing this, Zeng Changshou’s face changed dramatically; sensing the burning power of the blood-red flames, he instinctively stepped back several paces, yet the fire snakes pursued relentlessly, like a bone-attached parasite.

"Brother, let’s talk this over, actually... this is a misunderstanding!"

Chased by the swirling fire snakes for some time, realizing he couldn’t escape, Zeng Changshou suddenly had an epiphany and voiced this, leaving Wang Zilang at the side of the tent door stunned.

It was a formidable Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage expert, so how could just a blood-red flame from Yun Xiao cause Zeng Changshou to change his demeanor so significantly, even with a hint of pleading in his tone.

Neither Wang Zilang nor Zeng Lianhu ever thought it would turn out like this; compared to Wang Zilang’s shock and joy, Zeng Lianhu’s vengeful heart was almost about to explode with rage.

He had initially thought that once his Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage father arrived, that ragged boy couldn’t possibly make any waves, and Zeng Lianhu had already devised dozens of torturous ways to make the other suffer a fate worse than death.

But now it seems that the rugged youth was much stronger than he had imagined, even causing his Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage father to be pushed to a dead end with just one move.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

Hearing Zeng Changshou’s somewhat pleading words, Yun Xiao felt no compassion at all; his cold voice sank Zeng Changshou’s heart to the depths.

If Yun Xiao had initially intended to remain low-key, that notion vanished as soon as Zeng Changshou arrived and attempted to kill him.

"What kind of enemy did this little brat Lianhu provoke for me?"

Cornered and out of breath by the blood-red fire snakes, Zeng Changshou ended up scolding his precious son, knowing nothing about Yun Xiao’s background or why these two were enemies.

Unfortunately, Zeng Changshou didn’t have much time left; the endless fire snakes had sealed all his paths as he maneuvered, leaving no escape.

"Brat, I’m a house slave of the Wang Family in Yulong City; if you dare kill me, the Wang Family won’t spare you!"

Knowing his end was near, Zeng Changshou could only resort to his final card, as the Wang Family of Yulong City was dominant in that area, their background carrying some intimidation.

Unfortunately, Zeng Changshou didn’t know he was facing a demonic genius from the Tenglong Continent, who, even in his previous life as the Long Xiao Battle God, had never heard of the Wang Family of Yulong City, which meant they were insignificant.

Hiss!

Hence, Yun Xiao paid no heed to Zeng Changshou’s threat; with the movement of the seal in his hand, one of the fire snakes finally touched Zeng Changshou’s body.

Boom!

In an instant, Zeng Changshou’s human body transformed into a figure of flames, and moments later, reduced to a pile of ash, scattering in the drizzle, as if he had never existed.

For a moment, the scene turned quiet!
