Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"When elders speak, what right does a useless person like you have to interrupt?"

The moment Wang Zilang’s words fell, Wang Yinglong’s sharp and disdain-filled gaze shot over, his voice dripping with contempt and disgust.

Wang Yinglong had no children of his own and always harbored jealousy toward his older brother who had three sons. When Wang Zilang was diagnosed with Innate Pulse Cutting, he felt a rush of satisfaction.

Later, it was Wang Yinglong who orchestrated Wang Zilang’s expulsion from the family, driven by jealousy with no regard for the familial bond between uncle and nephew.

And now, this formerly timid useless person dared talk back to him, Wang Yinglong found himself extremely infuriated.

If not for the presence of Wang Yingqi in the Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage, Wang Yinglong might have directly stepped forward to slap Wang Zilang a few times, to teach him what respect means.

"Wang Yinglong, my son is no longer a useless person. But you, secretly conspiring with outsiders to seize the family position, our Wang family’s affairs are none of your concern!"

Having long lost hope in Wang Yinglong, Wang Yingqi, reinforced by strong support, no longer had to make concessions. His words both announced Wang Zilang’s release from Innate Pulse Cutting and accused Wang Yinglong of betrayal against the Wang family while wielding the authority of the family head.

"Big brother, do you really think a mere youth can turn the tide on his own?"

A glint of color flashed in Wang Yinglong’s eyes, but he quickly hid it away, turning his gaze to the rough-clothed teenager as he spoke.

"Boy, you have three breaths to get out of the Wang family, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

As an Early Stage of the Lingyun Realm expert, Wang Yinglong possessed the aura of a superior. Even though Yun Xiao had just killed two Floating Life Realm cultivators, it did not concern him in the slightest.

At least Wang Yinglong was confident that he could easily kill Lu Lianyu or the Lu Family Elder who were Floating Life Realm cultivators, demonstrating the gap between the Lingyun Realm and Floating Life Realm.

"Hmph, what kind of family head is a traitor like you?"

Hearing Wang Yinglong’s claim, Wang Zilang snorted coldly. Yet, such words clearly had no effect on the former; he simply stared blankly at the rough-clothed teenager.

"No need for three breaths, come face your death right now!"

Yun Xiao would hardly take an Early Stage Lingyun Realm individual seriously. As Wang Yinglong’s words fell, he coldly interrupted, instantly provoking the Second House Master of the Wang Family.

"I will make you understand what it means to have reverence for the strong!"

Yun Xiao almost couldn’t help but laugh aloud when hearing these words from Wang Yinglong, thinking that in terms of Meridian Qi cultivation, he was the one others should truly revere.

Unfortunately, no one present could sense Yun Xiao’s true Meridian Qi cultivation, which was the source of Wang Yinglong’s boundless confidence, sealing his doomed fate.

"Now, that kid probably won’t stir up any trouble, right?"

Originally prepared to avenge his son, Lu Guixiong remained composed when Wang Yinglong took the lead, a sense of confidence rising within him.

To be honest, Lu Guixiong was initially angry but was taken aback by Yun Xiao’s performance. Such cultivation of Meridian Qi at such a young age was truly formidable and fearsome.

For a moment, Lu Guixiong even suspected Yun Xiao might come from a major sect or family clan, as a remote city like Yulong City couldn’t nurture such a demon.

Being able to kill a Late Stage Floating Life Realm Lu Family Elder in a single blow indicated that this rough-clothed youth at least possessed Floating Life Realm Peak strength, possibly even Half-step Lingyun Realm capabilities.

Lu Guixiong’s thoughts wandered, but given the enmity for killing his son, regardless of where this rough-clothed youth hailed from, he must not walk out of the Wang Family Hall today.

As Lu Guixiong’s mind was racing, Wang Yinglong’s Meridian Qi surged fiercely, followed by a Meridian Qi Giant Sword forming before him, clearly intending to crush him.

Yun Xiao’s expression did not change a bit, his arm raised lightly, a gesture that made many people’s faces slightly tense.

Previously, when the Lu Family Elder faced Yun Xiao’s raised hand, he was struck by a blazing aura, burnt into ashes.

In the minds of the gathered elders from both families, this young man probably intended to repeat his previous actions, although now that his strange trick had been revealed, achieving the same effect would undoubtedly be more difficult.

"Trying that move again? You really are an insolent kid with only three moves up your sleeve!"

Even Wang Yinglong thought similarly, wary within but outwardly sneering, as he infused his giant sword with Qi, its aura growing richer and more formidable.

Wang Yinglong believed Yun Xiao’s earlier success against the Late Stage Floating Life Realm Lu Family Elder was merely due to unusual methods and surprise, not truly possessing Floating Life Realm Peak strength.

Upon thinking about this, Wang Yinglong even felt a bit of regret for overestimating that kid, using his powerful techniques in the first match—what a waste.

Swish!

Who would have thought, just when both families’ elders and Wang Yinglong believed they understood the situation, that young man’s raised arm didn’t unleash a blazing aura like before but instead, through Meridian Qi, formed a Meridian Qi Long Sword before him.

However, the Meridian Qi Long Sword that formed in front of Yun Xiao was much weaker in size and aura compared to Wang Yinglong’s Meridian Qi Long Sword.

On the surface, there seemed to be no comparison between the two, but only Yun Xiao knew that his sword-shaped meridian technique, rarely used, had an extraordinary grade, merely restrained in aura, making it difficult for others to sense its true presence.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The disproportionate pair of Meridian Qi Swords ultimately formed at the same moment, and both were unleashed simultaneously, flying swiftly into the space between them, slicing through the sky with an astonishing momentum.

Of course, the more astonishing momentum naturally belonged to Wang Yinglong’s Meridian Qi Giant Sword, while Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Sword seemed rather ordinary, seemingly without a trace of power.

"Out of tricks, huh!"

Seeing this scene, the Lu Family Members had cold smiles on their faces, and those Wang Family Members loyal to Wang Yinglong uttered mocking words, as if anticipating the upcoming outcome.

Snap!

Yet in the next moment, as the two disproportionate Meridian Qi Swords’ tips just met, what happened nearly caused everyone’s eyes to pop out.

Because that seemingly imposing Meridian Qi Giant Sword, a powerful technique employed by an Early Stage Lingyun Realm expert, couldn’t even withstand an instant before being pierced through by Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Sword.

The small Meridian Qi Sword dashed through the belly of the Meridian Qi Giant Sword, visible to onlookers, revealing Wang Yinglong’s Early Stage Lingyun Realm Qi’s complete vulnerability.

"What on earth is happening?"

Even as Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Sword continued to shuttle through Wang Yinglong’s Meridian Qi Giant Sword, all the observing elders from both families could sense who held the upper hand.

The clash of techniques between the two seemed incomparable, effortlessly allowing Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi to seize absolute dominance.

"Not good!"

Compared to the onlookers, as the person involved, Wang Yinglong clearly sensed the situation more acutely. He tried to control his Meridian Giant Sword for resistance but found himself utterly incapable of doing so.

The Meridian Qi Sword unleashed by Yun Xiao seemed to contain some special, mysterious power with an exceptionally strong penetrating ability, rendering his technique beyond his control, only accepting passively.

Snap!

A few moments later, another soft sound emerged—it was Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Sword reaching the end of Wang Yinglong’s Meridian Qi Giant Sword from inside.

Amidst flickering light, the Meridian Qi Sword emerged from the hilt of the giant sword. As the giant sword dissipated, its aura seemed entirely unconsumed.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the tip of the sword that pierced his Meridian Qi Giant Sword was rapidly approaching his body, Wang Yinglong felt his heart skip a beat, and his complexion turned extremely grim.

"Overlord Shield!"

Knowing that no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t outrun the Meridian Qi Sword, Wang Yinglong decisively let out a low growl. Immediately afterward, a dark yellow small shield appeared at his abdomen, displaying remarkable defensive power.

Evidently, this dark yellow Meridian Qi Shield was condensed from Wang Yinglong’s Early Stage Lingyun Realm Qi. However, seeing his actions, people like Wang Yingqi and the Wang brothers couldn’t help but smile coldly.

Considering the overwhelming force with which Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Sword had pierced through Wang Yinglong’s Meridian Qi Giant Sword, although the Overlord Shield had strong defensive power, it might not withstand Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Sword’s stab.

As Wang Yinglong realized this fact in an instant, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, and his right hand, hidden behind the shield, subtly brushed against his waist.

After Wang Yinglong completed these actions, Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Sword finally stabbed the surface of the Overlord Shield, emitting a soft sound.

Snap!

Right after that gentle sound, the seemingly defense-oriented Overlord Shield, like the previous Meridian Qi Giant Sword, offered little resistance. Within a single breath, the sword tip was already lodged in the shield.
