Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Yun Xiao, even within your domain, you absolutely can’t kill me!"

About thirty minutes passed, as You He once again dodged the thrust from the Dragon Taming Sword, he suddenly roared out loud, seeming to have found some patterns to evade the sword.

Just as You He said, although he was being chased in a very awkward position by the Dragon Taming Sword at this moment, he could always escape its thrusts at the last moment, which greatly boosted his confidence.

After all, it was just a single Dragon Taming Sword chasing You He right now, and the Ten Thousand Sword Domain was so vast, giving You He enough space to dodge and maneuver, perhaps that’s where his confidence stemmed from.

"Oh, is that so?"

However, just as You He’s confident words finished, the ragged youth let out a soft chuckle, then, with a change of his hand movements, the situation within the Ten Thousand Sword Domain went through a massive transformation.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

A series of swishing sounds came out, everyone saw that the situation where only one Wooden Sword was chasing You He, suddenly turned into thousands upon thousands of Wooden Swords rushing towards You He.

Moreover, under Yun Xiao’s control, these thousands of Wooden Swords all emitted an aura identical to the Dragon Taming Sword, as this was within his Ten Thousand Sword Domain.

"This is bad!"

Sensing the countless Wooden Swords rushing towards him, You He felt his head was about to explode, as he couldn’t distinguish which one was the true Dragon Taming Sword.

It seemed that the previous chase was merely a tactic to exhaust some of You He’s energy. At this moment, the Ten Thousand Sword Domain finally unleashed its true power.

Everyone believed that under such an onslaught by the thousands of swords, You He had no room to dodge, especially since it was Yun Xiao’s domain, where he could make any shadow of the sword that struck You He’s body become a true Dragon Taming Sword.

Poof!

A moment later, after You He barely dodged hundreds of sword shadows, one of them finally hit him hard, following which his heart sank, as he experienced a sensation he was extremely familiar with at the moment he was pierced.

Unfortunately, in his desperate state, You He could not transfer his Spirit Crystal to a safe place. With a flash of water light, the crystalline Spirit Crystal was once again chipped by Yun Xiao using the Dragon Taming Sword.

With the appearance of the Spirit Crystal, You He’s massive body vanished, needing to use the power of the Spirit Crystal to condense a new body once again.

Yet with his Spirit Crystal damaged twice, You He suffered greatly, and at this moment, Yun Xiao seemed to teleport as he suddenly appeared in front of that Water Attribute Spirit Crystal.

This was a Spirit Crystal of an Intermediate Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, Yun Xiao believed that if he could devour and refine its energy, it would not only be very effective in enhancing his Meridian Qi Cultivation but also strengthen the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power of his right arm.

"Come here!"

But just as Yun Xiao thought You He’s Spirit Crystal was damaged twice and this was his domain, making it impossible for the opponent to reform a body in time, a strange sound burst from the Spirit Crystal.

"Come here? Come where?"

Not just Yun Xiao, even those human cultivators watching on the Stepping Heavenly Stone were baffled, wondering what unknown means the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River might have.

Though Yun Xiao was puzzled, his actions showed no hesitation, seeing the Water Attribute Spirit Crystal within reach, he controlled his Ten Thousand Sword Domain’s power to grasp that shimmering Spirit Crystal.

Crash!

No one expected that from behind the Stepping Heavenly Stone, a gigantic water column tentacle, approximately several yards thick, suddenly rushed out from the Chongxiao River, striking You He’s Spirit Crystal with incredible speed.

The sudden development shocked everyone, and in that instant, advanced soul experts like Lu Yanji already sensed the true nature of the water column tentacle.

"I hadn’t expected an Advanced Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit to exist within the Chongxiao River!"

Lu Yanji’s face looked somewhat grave, though he sensed the water column tentacle spirit was equal to a human cultivator at the peak of Lingyun Realm, its emergence at this time might deeply impact the ongoing situation.

Due to the water column tentacle’s sudden appearance, You He’s Spirit Crystal, which Yun Xiao was about to grasp, instantly turned into a stream of water under the tentacle’s strike, retracting towards the Chongxiao River.

Although the Stepping Heavenly Stone was within Yun Xiao’s Ten Thousand Sword Domain, within such a domain, he could prevent those inside from easily exiting, yet there was no power to stop anyone from outside from coming in.

At this moment, it is evident that the Water Attribute Heavenly Spirit of an Advanced Golden Grade, under the command of You He, disregarded its own danger and extended a water column tentacle into the Ten Thousand Sword Domain from outside.

This way, although there was a risk of trapping that Advanced Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit also within the Ten Thousand Sword Domain, seeing its Spirit Crystal about to fall into Yun Xiao’s hands, at such a critical moment, how could You He harbor any hesitation?

To You He’s immense delight, when the water column of the Advanced Golden Grade Heavenly Spirit touched its Spirit Crystal, that youth was indeed caught off guard, allowing You He to use the tentacle as a fulcrum to finally escape the boundaries of the Ten Thousand Sword Domain.

The Chongxiao River seemingly endless, You He had every reason to believe that once re-entered into the Chongxiao River, he could no longer be killed by that human youth, for in the water, this was You He’s domain.

"This is trouble!"

The human cultivators surrounding the Stepping Heavenly Stone naturally also witnessed this moment clearly. The suddenness of the water column tentacles was like lightning, uncatchable by eyes or ears, and they clearly saw Yun Xiao’s momentary daze at this instant.

These human cultivators seemed to understand You He’s Water Attribute, realizing that once he entered the Chongxiao River, it indeed became a vast ocean for fish to leap in and a broad sky for birds to fly.

The escape of such a powerful Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit was no less than a potential cataclysmic threat for the Tenglong Continent, with an unknown time for another destructive outbreak, ravaging the entire continent again.

Even Lu Yanji, Xue Tianao, and others, despite being prepared, knew that the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He, once inside the Chongxiao River, could not be contained even if numerous Heavenly Realm powerhouses joined hands.

"This time, it seems even Yun Xiao is at his wits’ end?"

Figures like Destroyer Venerable or Duan Zixiao shifted their gaze back to the relatively dazed-looking roughly dressed youth, with even a hint of indescribable gloom in their eyes.

Earlier, when they saw another piece of the You River Spirit Crystal getting chipped away, they once thought Yun Xiao was on the verge of completely killing the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He.

Who would have thought the situation would suddenly change, catching everyone off guard, so no matter how brilliant Yun Xiao’s previous performance was, it seemed there was no more possibility of dealing with the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He in Chongxiao River.

Thus, it appeared that Yun Xiao’s previous heaven-defying methods were all in vain. If the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He recovered, he might just target them, the human forces, first.

Currently, the Meridian Refining Master Association and Xuanyin Hall both had Heavenly Realm powerhouses, so it seemed unlikely that the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit would take that risk, making the first-class forces the most likely initial targets.

In truth, Duan Zixiao and others always held high expectations for the battle’s outcome, not just hoping Yun Xiao could kill the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, but also hoping that the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit could kill Yun Xiao, preferably resulting in mutual destruction.

Yet now, although Yun Xiao survived, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He also escaped with its Spirit Crystal twice severely damaged, leaving Duan Zixiao and others rather frustrated?

"Yun Xiao, today’s enmity, I will return tenfold in the future!"

Just as all the human experts were harboring disappointment, a somewhat deep voice suddenly rose from the Chongxiao River, seemingly emerging from the river’s depths.

But after this voice issued, many human cultivators could not discern where it came from, as if the entire river surface of the Chongxiao River echoed with this harsh statement.

Thus, even though You He spoke with hostility, he hid his traces deeply, developing a mental shadow towards that human roughly dressed youth.

All human cultivators’ faces turned extremely stern, unable to lock onto You He’s exact location; how could they drag him out again? Moreover, even knowing his location didn’t guarantee catching him, right?

"I dislike settling scores after the event; let’s resolve this face-to-face today!"

However, just when everyone thought You He would disappear without a trace at the next moment, a familiar voice unexpectedly arose from a certain area above the Chongxiao River.

"It’s Yun Xiao, how did he appear there?"

Upon seeing the figure slowly emerging above the river’s surface, many harbored a trace of curiosity, as there was still a "Yun Xiao" present on the Stepping Heavenly Stone.

"It’s his Shadow Clone Meridian Techniques!"

Liu Hanyi was the fastest to react, being aware of some of Yun Xiao’s methods, seeing the two Yun Xiaos airborne, she immediately realized what had transpired.

It now appeared that in the sudden upheaval earlier, Yun Xiao hadn’t been dazed by the unexpected situation but had instantly executed his unrivaled Shadow Clone Meridian Techniques.

Leaving the shadow clone on the Stepping Heavenly Stone was not to confuse the human cultivators around but to let You He’s guard down, making him think Yun Xiao was still dazing on the stone.

The reason Yun Xiao brought his true body here was that he had already locked onto You He’s aura; after all, You He’s Spirit Crystal had twice been chipped away by the Dragon Taming Sword.
