Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1260: One Man Against a City

"Have they... all died?"

Some of the low-level human cultivators seemed to still not believe their eyes. It wasn't until the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon let out a roar to the sky that they snapped back to reality and accepted this exhilarating truth.

Even if someone had anticipated Yun Xiao's victory beforehand, they never imagined that this young man in plain clothes could eliminate all ten of the Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits that surrounded him.

This was a complete annihilation, and those were ten full-fledged Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits. Each one alone could make the various forces of the Tenglong Continent feel a headache.

Yet, in front of this young Yun Xiao, those fierce and powerful Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits turned into helpless kittens and puppies, how could this even be explained?

Under the same number and similar cultivation levels, in battles between humans and alien spirits, humans have always been at a definite disadvantage—this has never changed across millennia of wars with alien spirits.

But starting today, this ironclad rule might be forcibly changed by a young man named Yun Xiao. With his Peak Earth Bending Realm cultivation, he slays Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits like it's as easy as killing chickens, something human cultivators never imagined.

"What are you all standing around for? Take this opportunity to charge and kill!"

The first to react was still the Shenxiao Sect Elder Wu Yingjiang at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm. Seeing the fall of ten alien spirit strong individuals and the plummeting morale of the alien spirits, he immediately shouted and took the initiative to strike, directly killing a dazed Ninth Rank Intermediate alien spirit not far from him.

With Wu Yingjiang's reminder, many human cultivators finally snapped back to reality, launching an assault that caused the alien spirit army to collapse, instantly sweeping away the previous despondency.

In this instance, the alien spirits' side attempted to be clever but ended up losing more than they gained. They recognized Yun Xiao's threat and tried to join forces to eliminate this human stronghold first.

Unfortunately, these alien spirit strong individuals overestimated themselves and underestimated Yun Xiao's breakout power. In the end, instead of killing their target, they were wiped out, ironically boosting the human side's morale and plunging the alien spirits' morale to freezing point.

The assault continued for a day and a night, and when a massive city appeared before them, everyone knew they had finally reached Moyun City!

Along the way from the battlefield to Moyun City, countless alien spirit corpses were left behind. The surviving alien spirits were almost driven to Moyun City by human cultivators because they had no better place to go.

Moyun City is the largest city within several hundred miles and has long fallen into the hands of alien spirits. Even during the initial human counterattack, they couldn't reclaim this massive city.

This shows that Moyun City is certainly a stronghold that is easy to defend and hard to attack. Additionally, with the alien spirits fortifying it for nearly a year, its defense is undoubtedly formidable.

Because the defeated alien spirits retreated to Moyun City, the human side's intention to attack the stronghold became extremely clear. The alien spirit leader within the city would undoubtedly not be unprepared, setting the stage for a likely brutal siege battle.

Previously, it was mostly humans defending their cities; now the tables have turned. But can the renowned resilient Moyun City ultimately be captured by the humans?

"Moyun City, we've finally arrived!"

Standing on the back of the Green Phoenix, Yun Xiao looked at the ancient city exuding an aura of antiquity and alien spirits ahead of him, and couldn't help but express a heartfelt sentiment. From the hidden aura, he knew he hadn't come in vain.

It's clear that somewhere in Moyun City, there is also an array point of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array. The faint connection between it and the stars in the sky couldn't escape Yun Xiao's sensing, even from this distance.

"Since that's the case, let's begin!"

Looking at the human cultivators swarming near the gates of Moyun City below, Yun Xiao spoke softly, but did not order the human cultivators to storm the city.

Because Yun Xiao knew very well that these human cultivators, no higher than the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, certainly couldn't fly and, unlike the Imperial Soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Continent, they didn't possess siege equipment.

Ultimately, while the human cultivators' strength was far stronger than those Imperial Soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Continent, they were essentially an uncoordinated mob.

At most, they could operate in small teams using strategies like divided advance and joint attack, but in terms of tactical warfare, they were probably not comparable to the Imperial Soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Moreover, Yun Xiao had made a spontaneous decision to attack Moyun City, and there was no time to prepare anything, so he never intended for a direct assault.

Alien spirits hold the city defenses, and a forced attack by human cultivators would result in heavy casualties. Yun Xiao valued these brave souls who fought against the alien spirits dearly.

"Stay here and be careful!"

Turning his head towards Xu Hongzhuang on the back of the Green Phoenix, Yun Xiao gave a warning, then said no more. Lightly stepping on the Green Phoenix's back, a green light swiftly flew towards the West Gate City Wall of Moyun City, drawing all human cultivators' gazes.

"Is he planning to take on the entire city alone?"

Watching the green silhouette flying towards Moyun City, Wu Yingjiang below muttered to himself, causing many young cultivators to feel a surge of excitement.

Now, the human forces were at the gates of Moyun City, yet Yun Xiao had not issued the attack command. Instead, he flew above the grand city on his own, facing a city alone, a spectacle countless people dream of.

"Leadership of Moyun City, come out and speak!"

As everyone gazed with excitement and admiration at the rough-clad youth in the sky, suddenly a loud shout erupted from his mouth. The sound was imbued with the Meridian Qi of the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, making everyone inside and outside Moyun City, human and alien spirits alike, hear it clearly.

After this high shout echoed into Moyun City, moments later, at the city head, appeared numerous imposing alien spirit figures, all having reached Ninth Rank Advanced, about twenty in total.

It seems Moyun City truly deserves its reputation as a city developed long ago by the alien spirits. Just these nearly twenty Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits are enough to sweep away many middle-high level forces on Tenglong Continent.

"Eh? From their appearance, seems they're waiting for someone!"

However, when people saw these nearly twenty Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits, not taking any action but respectfully standing on the city wall, Jia Tianshu felt a chill, saying in a meaningful, deep tone.

"To make Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits wait so respectfully, could it be a Half-step Heavenly Spirit, or even a real Heavenly Spirit expert?"

With Jia Tianshu's reminder, Nie Xiaosheng's face drastically changed, his words carrying a hint of tremor, inwardly wondering if the alien spirits are finally going to reveal a truly powerful expert far exceeding Yu Zi's strength.

"It shouldn't be a real Heavenly Spirit, but even a Half-step Heavenly Spirit might still be troublesome!"

Wu Yingjiang's face became quite grave, speaking as if comforting himself, but the next moment, his old face changed directly, seemingly having guessed something wrong.

"With just you lot, still not my match, let your real leader come out!"

Yun Xiao in the sky, looking at the nearly twenty Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits lined up on the city wall, spoke, as he might have already guessed, such a grand city couldn't be solely led by some ordinary Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirits.

"Human brat, don't be arrogant!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Just after Yun Xiao's words fell, a cold voice, like a night owl, suddenly came from within Moyun City, causing all the human cultivators to change their expressions, even showing a trace of pale despair.

This is why Wu Yingjiang was surprised earlier, because like the vein demons, alien spirits can only speak human words upon reaching Heaven Rank Third Realm, a rule almost ironclad in continent cultivation, with no exceptions.

Now hearing that piercing voice, clearly it's emitted from an alien spirit's mouth, indicating not only Wu Yingjiang instantly recognized but also those low-rank human cultivators knew within their hearts.

"Didn't expect there really is a Heavenly Spirit in Moyun City, now we're in big trouble!"

Wu Yingjiang's old face turned steel-blue, obviously not expecting such a change. Heavenly Spirits are comparable to human Heavenly Rank Third Realm experts, but in terms of combat power, far stronger than human cultivators of the same rank.

Originally thought there was a tacit understanding between humanity and alien spirits, no Heavenly Spirit rank alien spirits in the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, but unexpectedly encountered in Moyun City.

At this moment, not only Wu Yingjiang, but many human cultivators were filled with despair. If Yun Xiao truly perishes at the hands of that Heavenly Spirit expert, then the situation is grim.

Swish!

While everyone was alarmed by the alien spirit speaking human words, a streak of flowing light shot into the sky, further validating thoughts in their minds.

After all, subconsciously, creatures below Heaven Rank Third Realm, whether human or alien spirits, generally couldn't fly.

Until that light halted, appearing in the sky not far in front of Yun Xiao, did everyone finally see the alien spirit's figure, all inhaling sharply.

Judging solely by appearance, the alien spirit seemed more like an eagle-type flying beast pulse demon, yet had a bizarre human face, atop its head a crown with extremely vibrant color, as if blood would drip from its redness.

Moreover, the alien spirit's pair of wings differed from ordinary eagle-type pulse demon wings, appearing to be woven from strands of vines, exceedingly strange.

"So that's it!"

Initially stunned by the alien spirit speaking human words, Yun Xiao's expression slightly relaxed now, as if it truly was a Heavenly Spirit, he might have to use all his trump cards, and even then, unsure about winning.
