Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 508: Five hundred and eight, overwhelming power
Chapter 508: Five hundred and eight, overwhelming power
From the moment Nie Qianqiu deployed the Green Phoenix Meridian Technique, everyone already knew the grade of this technique—it was definitely at the Advanced Spiritual Rank, and not just an ordinary one at that.
But now, Yun Xiao’s golden arm was not just counteracting the Green Phoenix Meridian Technique, but rather, it was crushing it effortlessly, causing it to dissipate completely. Everyone had an extremely shocked guess about what this meant.
"Could it be an Earth Rank Meridian Technique?"
Just like when the Jade Pot Sect first saw the Red Gold Dragon Arm, everyone thought of this possibility, especially those from the Qingshan Sect, who had grievances with the Jade Pot Sect, showed jealousy in their eyes.
Yun Xiao, who hailed from the Xuanyue Empire’s Jade Pot Sect, was no longer a secret. Moreover, some well-informed individuals unveiled Yun Xiao’s past background—a mere small merchant family from Moon Bow City, likely incapable of possessing an Earth Rank Meridian Technique.
Even Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding occasionally glanced at Yu Shu, the Sect Master of Jade Pot Sect, secretly thinking that the foundation of this sect might not be as simple as he imagined!
As for members of the Jade Pot Sect, although they had seen Yun Xiao deploying this Golden Arm Meridian Technique, at this moment, the power of this technique seemed even more formidable than when seen on the Spiritual Chick Battle List.
Elders related to the Poison Vein, like Fu Du and Mo Li, all cast a resentful look at Yu Shu. They all believed that this Sect Master was hoarding secrets, keeping the good stuff for his favorite disciples and not sharing it with the sect, truly undeserving as a leader.
But Yu Shu was wrongly accused! Some of the methods Yun Xiao used were even unknown to him, and he too was curious about what was going on!
Not to mention the various shocking thoughts stirred by Yun Xiao’s performance at the moment, in the end, Nie Qianqiu’s first attack was easily neutralized by him. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Whoosh!
Moreover, after Yun Xiao swept away that Green Phoenix with his arm, his movements did not stop there. As he shifted his stance, his golden-lit right arm swung fiercely toward Nie Qianqiu.
Yun Xiao’s speed was several times faster than Du Ruofeng of the Thunderwind Empire. Nie Qianqiu, slightly stunned by the shattering of the Green Phoenix, was now too late to dodge.
Thus, Nie Qianqiu could only raise his arms in front of his chest, hoping to withstand Yun Xiao’s heavy hit. But recalling the situation atop Demon Suppressing Mountain, he had no confidence at all.
Bang!
Yun Xiao’s golden arm struck incredibly fast. In just a couple of breaths, it had already slammed into Nie Qianqiu’s arms, and when a burst of great force exploded, Nie Qianqiu’s entire body was blasted several meters away.
"Hiss..."
Many cultivators witnessing Yun Xiao’s physical strength for the first time gasped in unison because the rough-clothed young man’s power on the arena was unbelievably strong.
Shadow-like, since Yun Xiao had grabbed such a chance, he wouldn’t possibly let it slip away before Nie Qianqiu could catch his breath.
With ghost-like speed, Yun Xiao kept shadowing him closely, followed by a series of thunderous close-range combat moves, leaving the Crown Prince of the Lingtian Empire with only the ability to parry without the strength to counterattack.
"If I face this kid, I must not compete with him in physical strength!"
Witnessing this scene, the previously victorious individuals like Shen Wannian all had solemn and resolute expressions, as they were not completely sure that they could do better than Nie Qianqiu if Yun Xiao closed in on them.
Yun Xiao’s physical strength was overwhelmingly strong; not only surpassing Qingshan’s Li Yue or Jingshan Empire’s Lu Jinghong, known for their physical prowess, but perhaps even surpassing some Vein Demons at the Fifth Rank Advanced Peak.
In fact, Yun Xiao’s physical strength was indeed comparable to a Sixth Rank Low-Level Vein Demon. If one were to only compare physical strength, he could nearly be considered invincible within the Meridian Union Realm.
This moment of unpreparedness had already determined the outcome of the battle, or perhaps it was not that Nie Qianqiu underestimated Yun Xiao, but he underestimated the methods of this rough-clothed young man.
At the beginning, Nie Qianqiu was indeed on guard against Yun Xiao’s close combat, but unfortunately, his self-proclaimed powerful Green Phoenix Skying Meridian Technique turned out to be so fragile and was ultimately seized by Yun Xiao.
Then after, Nie Qianqiu was continuously put in a passive position of being hit, not to mention defeating Yun Xiao, even maintaining distance from Yun Xiao had become a dire hope.
"Small Golden Light Pulse Array, explode!"
Seizing the moment, Yun Xiao unexpectedly circled to Nie Qianqiu’s flustered back, swiftly hitting a series of points on his back like flowing water, and simultaneously, a low shout burst out from his mouth.
This unique Meridian Technique acquired by Yun Xiao at the Jade Pot Sect was initially of a low-grade Spiritual Rank, but with his modification, it might well rival those of the Advanced Spiritual Rank Meridian Techniques, wouldn’t it?
Puff puff puff!
A series of explosive sounds ensued, and soon after, everyone saw Nie Qianqiu’s clothes on his back burst open, his skin and flesh mangled and bloodied.
Although it was just a superficial flesh wound, Nie Qianqiu, already at a disadvantage, couldn’t withstand anymore. As he turned around in pain, a foot had fiercely stamped onto his right cheek.
Swoosh...
This Crown Prince of the Lingtian Empire, his body seemingly riding on clouds and mist, flew across dozens of yards of the Arena Hall and shockingly fell below the stage, struggling to get up for a long while.
Yun Xiao’s sweeping kick held not the slightest hint of mercy, not only did it knock out the teeth on the left side of Nie Qianqiu’s face, but it also caused him to faint upon hitting the ground.
For some reason, although Yun Xiao had personally clarified his detachment from Xu Hongzhuang and the Lingyun Sect, he felt somewhat uncomfortable at the thought of Nie Qianqiu desiring to court Xu Hongzhuang.
Previously, Yun Xiao seemed indifferent, perhaps putting on an act for Xu Hongzhuang to see, but even he himself didn’t realize that everyone has possessive instincts. Even if he couldn’t obtain something himself, he didn’t wish for it to fall into someone else’s hands.
Thus, in that final moment, Yun Xiao struck fiercely, putting an end to his feud with Nie Qianqiu. Yet, since Nie Qianqiu was a country’s Crown Prince, he ultimately didn’t lose his life under that furious kick.
Inside and outside the entire Arena Hall, a hush fell over the crowd because the outcome of this battle wasn’t quite what they expected. How could it have ended so quickly?
At the beginning of this battle, it wasn’t that no one thought it would end so swiftly. However, in their minds, the victor they imagined was Nie Qianqiu, the Crown Prince of the Lingtian Empire.
After all, this Crown Prince had been touted as a powerful contender for the champion of this Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, much like Shen Wannian and Ye Shimei. Acquiring the title of Hidden Dragon Emerges wasn’t impossible.
But here was this dignified Crown Prince of Lingtian Empire, a genuine Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm talent, who after initially executing a Meridian Technique called Green Phoenix, was then overwhelmingly suppressed by Yun Xiao, the youth, without even a chance to counterattack.
Although some discerned Yun Xiao’s immense physical strength enabled him to seize an opportunity to get close, who could guarantee in such a fierce fight, one wouldn’t be caught in such a situation?
In battle, opportunities arise in the blink of an eye, sometimes a small action, or a slight repositioning can lead to chances appearing. And once Yun Xiao gets close, anyone might meet the same fate as Nie Qianqiu.
Including super-genius talents like Shen Wannian and Ye Shimei, their expressions grew solemn because their next opponent might very well be Yun Xiao. His strength, it seemed, was astonishingly formidable.
Regardless, the last decisive round of the preliminaries finally concluded, ending with this unique battle among the others, and with this battle concluded, the final eight contenders of the Hidden Dragon Conference were freshly determined.
Ye Shimei of Flying Flower Empire, Elder Shen Wannian of Yufeng Empire’s Sect, Xu Hongzhuang, the daughter of the Sect Master of the Lingyun Sect of the Lingtian Empire, and Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding of Xuanyue Empire.
These four breaking into the final eight wasn’t much of a surprise to anyone as their genius has been known across the Hidden Dragon Continent for years. They are the strongest contenders for the Hidden Dragon Conference champion.
Of course, there was also Nie Qianqiu before, but now, a loser doesn’t attract attention. The cultivators only focus on the final victors; at least for now, only these eight are the victors.
However, aside from these four, the remaining four included a few unexpected contenders. Liu Hanyi from Luoyi Sect’s talented young lady might be expected, but two from the Jade Pot Sect and Jin Wuli from Wuhai Empire were indeed beyond everyone’s expectations.
Though Jade Pot Sect is one of the most powerful sects in Xuanyue Empire, in past Countries Hidden Dragon Conferences, the talents sent by this sect generally couldn’t even break into the top fifty.
But now, it seems, Jade Pot Sect has improved remarkably, not only did they have three individuals break into the final sixteen, but they also had two geniuses enter the top eight. What an honor this was!
See how delighted everyone from the Jade Pot Sect over there is? This was undoubtedly the proudest day for the Jade Pot Sect since its establishment. This was not just showing their face in Xuanyue Empire, but across the entire Hidden Dragon Continent.
Sect Master Yu Shu, wearing a smile, watched the disciples who had just stepped down from the arena, extremely satisfied with their performance. And beside him, Great Elder Lu Zhan was feeling sentimental.
"Sect Master, this time, I fear Mo Qing and Ling Wan were really riding on Yun Xiao’s coattails!"
This was the source of Lu Zhan’s reflection. As the teacher of Mo Qing and Ling Wan, how could he not understand his own disciples?
That Mo Qing and Ling Wan had reached this stage was largely due to Yun Xiao’s efforts, which Lu Zhan was acutely aware of.
