Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Kid, I will let you personally witness the spectacular scene of your skin and flesh rotting, yet unable to simply die."

As a Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master, Yu Guang has ways to make life worse than death, and hearing his casual words made all the Wang Family members shiver involuntarily.

As Yu Guang’s words fell, Yun Xiao was already just a few feet away from him. That right hand was raised, really reaching out to grab the jade bottle in Yu Guang’s palm.

"How could there be someone so reckless in the world?"

At this moment, such a thought suddenly rose in Yu Guang’s heart, but this did not affect his willingness to unleash certain means. As his thoughts moved, a green glow shot forth from the edge of his palm, attacking Yun Xiao’s right hand with lightning speed.

"Let’s see if you can remain so calm now?"

Seeing that the young man neither dodged nor avoided, allowing Yu Guang’s highly poisonous Meridian Qi to invade his palm, Yu Guang’s mouth curled into a sneer that he did not bother to hide, letting everyone in the hall hear it clearly.

Yu Guang was extremely confident in the deadly poison he deployed. It was a special toxin that acted extremely quickly, causing endless pain but not allowing the victim to die immediately.

At least Yu Guang is sure that anyone who falls victim to his poison would soon lose all strength, the toxins causing their skin and flesh to rot slowly, exposing the bone.

And the youth before his eyes was so young, probably having never endured much pain in his life. Would he soon be rolling in agony and begging for mercy?

Yu Guang’s wild imagination exceeded his forecast. What he didn’t know was that the young man before him had long since stopped fearing Heavenly Rank Low Level deadly poison back in Tenglong Continent.

Now Yun Xiao had even advanced to the level of a Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Refiner, improving significantly in both Medical Pulse Technique and Poison Meridian Skill, dismissing this mere Heavenly Rank Low Level poison as beneath his notice.

Thus in the next moment, the young man in coarse clothes neither rolled on the ground in agony nor begged for mercy from the toxin. Instead, without a hint of hesitation, he extended his ape-like arm and grabbed the jade bottle in Yu Guang’s palm.

"Hmm?"

This scene took Yu Guang somewhat by surprise, as he believed the young man would soon fall to the poison, or at least wouldn’t be able to make any further moves, including taking the jade bottle.

With such confidence, Yu Guang didn’t make any move, allowing Yun Xiao to effortlessly take the jade bottle containing the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid into his hands.

As for the nearby Wang Family Elders, seeing the situation at hand, they found their minds somewhat scattered. Could it be that Yu Guang had suddenly had a change of heart and willingly gave the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid to Yun Xiao?

But how could that be possible? In an instant, the Wang Family Elders dismissed this unrealistic notion and subtly felt a surge of hope directed at the young man in coarse clothing.

Because if it wasn’t Yu Guang’s sudden act of conscience, it must have been the young man’s own skill. Yun Xiao, able to withstand Heavenly Rank Low Level deadly poison, undoubtedly instilled a thread of confidence in the Wang Family Elders.

The Wang Family members initially thought Yun Xiao wouldn’t dare offend the Emperor Palace, so they didn’t hold out much hope. But it seems now, given Yu Guang’s decision to chase down and eliminate them, the young man finally couldn’t resist taking action.

However, within the hearts of these Wang Family members, they didn’t know Yun Xiao’s limits. Could he beat Wang Yinglong, at Lingyun Realm Early Stage, or kill Lu Guixiong, at Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage? And confronting Yu Guang, at Peak of Lingyun Realm, just how much can he achieve?

But in any case, Yun Xiao’s sudden move brought a glimmer of hope to the despairing Wang Family, as at least the young man who easily killed Lu Guixiong shouldn’t be defeated by Yu Guang within just a few brief moves.

"Hehe, since you’re so generous, I’ll gladly accept it!"

As the Wang Family members started to feel hopeful, Yun Xiao, who had just obtained the jade bottle containing the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid, displayed a satisfied smile. His soft laughter nearly made Yu Guang spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Honestly, even Yun Xiao himself hadn’t thought he would get the Heavenly Void Soul Liquid so easily. After all, Yu Guang is a Peak Expert of Lingyun Realm, a Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Vein Master; surely he would have some means.

"Kid, whatever means you have, today you won’t walk out of this Wang Family Hall alive!"

Suppressing his anger, Yu Guang’s words carried a trace of suppressed rage, that anyone could pick up the extreme murderous intent in his tone; he was truly provoked by the current situation.

"Wouldn’t you say something different? What use is there in repeating the same old threats?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao raised his head and tossed the jade bottle in his hand, his mocking words making the Emperor Palace expert before him swing a palm towards his cheek.

Witnessing this scene, the Wang Family members felt a surge of nervousness for Yun Xiao, realizing that perhaps Yun Xiao had some resistance against poison earlier.

Yu Guang naturally thought the same, although on this continent, Poison Vein Masters could dominate a region, gaining some advantage in battles of the same level, but there were some special cultivators who could make them less effective.

Those were the cultivators with resistance to poison; often, when encountering such cultivators, merely toxic methods wouldn’t have much effect and could instead put them into an awkward situation.

In Yu Guang’s view, Yun Xiao was that one-in-a-million person with formidable poison resistance. Since that was the case, then he should use Meridian Qi to crush him.

How far could a young brat like this have cultivated his Meridian Qi? Yu Guang had every reason to believe that one slap would surely shatter half of this kid’s teeth.

No sooner said than done, just as everyone thought Yun Xiao might deploy some technique to evade Yu Guang’s powerful slap, the youth remained completely still.

"Kneel!"

In the quiet Wang Family Hall, a sudden shout erupted, unexpectedly uttered by the rough-clothed youth, the voice shot straight to the ceiling and carried significant force.

However, whether it was the observing Wang Family members or Yu Guang himself, none believed that this shout would have any effect on a peak expert of Lingyun Realm.

No matter how loud the voice was, it couldn’t possibly have any attack power, nor was it a sonic attack technique like Lion’s Roar Thunder Sound. At least, at this moment, Yun Xiao’s shout sounded merely loud to the Wang Family and Yu Guang.

"Hmm?"

However, just as Yun Xiao’s shout was uttered, when Yu Guang’s right hand was about to slap him on the cheek, this peak expert of the Emperor Palace suddenly froze, and his right hand came to an abrupt halt.

"What happened?"

This sudden shift from extreme action to complete stillness left the Wang Family members confused, wondering if Yun Xiao’s shout indeed contained some hidden formidable power.

Setting aside those observing Wang Family members, Yu Guang’s heart was in turmoil, as he suddenly realized a strange power rose within himself, preventing his actions from proceeding.

"Am I... poisoned?"

Yu Guang, deserving to soon break through to Heavenly Rank Intermediate as a High Rank Poison Vein Master, quickly realized what the change within himself was.

Yet, he couldn’t fathom when he was poisoned; moreover, who could employ a poison so undetectable to him, a Low Level Peak Poison Vein Master?

In a brief moment, Yu Guang failed to perceive the rough-clothed youth ahead as a Poison Vein Master with a higher grade than his own; he believed there was a hidden Poison Vein expert who seized the moment when he was unprepared.

"Oh no!"

As these fleeting thoughts raced, Yu Guang could no longer think about anything else; he suddenly felt that the previously mild toxic energy abruptly erupted, driving him to kneel uncontrollably.

For a moment, Yu Guang could only frantically circulate his Meridian Qi, hoping to neutralize the poison using his Heavenly Rank Low Level Poison Meridian Skill.

Unfortunately, Yu Guang overestimated himself and underestimated Yun Xiao’s poison; there was a whole two Great Rank difference in their Poison Meridian Skills, sealing his fate at the moment of poisoning.

Bang!

After a moment, Yu Guang finally couldn’t hold on; under the rampant poison, his knees softened, and he truly knelt before Yun Xiao.

At this moment, barely two breaths had passed since Yun Xiao’s shout, and the hall still faintly echoed with "Kneel."

The entire Wang Family Hall fell into absolute silence; many Wang Family Elders felt their breathing becoming somewhat labored.

It seemed that any excess movement, any heavy breathing, might disrupt this eerie silence; all stared in shock at the kneeling Emperor Palace expert and the calmly standing rough-clothed youth.

No one expected this result; even Wang Zilang, who had considerable confidence in Yun Xiao, was stunned.

That was a peak expert of the Emperor Palace’s Lingyun Realm; how did he fall under Yun Xiao’s hand, appearing little different from Lu Guixiong and Wang Yinglong earlier?
