Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor - Chapter 1272: One Man Against a City

Translate to:

It's clear that the strange thing appearing in the sky at this moment is the true embodiment of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow. At that critical moment just now, it obviously abandoned Gu Jitong's physical body, and finally escaped that formidable devouring power.

As a Strange Spirit of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow, this guy had just found Gu Jitong's human body with dual cold and heat attributes, expending great effort to seize it. But now, Yun Xiao captured it in just two moves.

Therefore, the anger of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow Strange Spirit is understandably intense. One should know that a human body with ice and fire attributes is exceedingly rare to find.

Having lost this one, who knows when the next opportunity will arise. Sensing that the human body had completely lost contact with it, this Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow Strange Spirit was almost exploding with rage, even though it doesn't have lungs.

However, at this moment, the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow Strange Spirit seems to have forgotten that despite losing the human body, its combat power wasn't greatly diminished. But the human youth in front of it never intended to let it go.

Yun Xiao's ultimate goal was never Gu Jitong's lifeless body, but the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow itself, which is crucial for him to enhance his physical strength in a very short time.

With continuous battles, although Yun Xiao kept winning, it was because the Strange Spirits hadn't sent out a Heavenly Spirit yet. If the Spirits realize his plan, the enemies ahead will likely grow stronger.

After all, Yun Xiao chose an irrevocable path since Taikang City, a direct route to Yellow Dragon. He neither has the time nor the energy to play mind games with the Strange Spirits, which would only give any possible Heavenly Spirit experts more time to recover. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Thinking of the peril ahead, Yun Xiao knew he must quickly enhance his strength. Though there might be no immediate way for his Meridian Qi Cultivation, enhancing his physical power to match the level of a Low-level Silver Grade Heavenly Demon would still allow him to stand a chance against a Heavenly Spirit expert.

And the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow in front of him is precisely the thing that could greatly enhance Yun Xiao's physical strength, so for emotional and logical reasons, he can't easily let it go.

Ironically, the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow Strange Spirit is still clamoring to kill Yun Xiao to avenge the body it seized, unaware that it had long been coveted by him, and its fate was already sealed.

Yun Xiao didn't even channel his Ancestor Vein Power this time and managed to grasp the Spirit Crystal of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow Strange Spirit within ten moves.

After all, Yun Xiao himself also possesses the Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein. The tactics of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow that are unrivaled against other single-attribute human cultivators were utterly useless against Yun Xiao.

Facing such a fate, the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow Strange Spirit can only accept its due punishment. Perhaps at the moment of its destruction by Yun Xiao, it felt a trace of unusual regret.

Sadly, all of this will cease to exist, as Yun Xiao holds the Spirit Crystal with ice and fire attributes in his hand, satisfied by the raging power within.

"Next…"

After storing the half-step Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit Crystal in his Waist Storage, Yun Xiao lowered his gaze, shifting his vision towards the East Gate City Wall of Jin Shuang City, where dozens of Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirits were still watching the battle.

However, these Ninth Rank Advanced Strange Spirits were all somewhat bewildered at the moment. They had never imagined such an outcome; the lord who had long dominated Jin Shuang City was killed just like that?

"Transform!"

Looking at the Strange Spirits on the city wall, Yun Xiao didn't immediately engage in mass slaughter. Instead, he lifted his head, lightly stomped with his right foot in the void, and uttered a low shout, leading to a magical scene.

It was bright daylight, with the sun blazing high in the sky, making even the numerous Earth Bending Realm human experts below feel unbearable.

Imagine if those low-rank human cultivators dared to come near Jin Shuang City, they'd likely be unable to withstand the heat even before the Strange Spirits could act.

Yet, with Yun Xiao's shout and actions, all the human cultivators below suddenly felt the unbearable heat disappear instantly.

Although the current weather can't be described as cool, everything fears comparison. Compared to the previous scorching heat, it now undoubtedly feels like paradise, no longer agitated under the burning sun.

Furthermore, people like Wu Yingjiang and Wu Tong could clearly sense a mystical force sweeping past them like a curtain connecting heaven and earth, flying towards the rear.

Everyone touched by this force felt the heat vanish instantly, and this force was evidently centering on Jin Shuang City, spreading around.

Soon, those cultivators ordered by Yun Xiao to stay on-site should sense this force, finally ending the exhausting cycle of day and night cold and heat.

In fact, what people don't know is that the reason Jinfrost City has this unique phenomenon of alternating hot and cold between black days and white nights is all because of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow.

Before it developed spiritual wisdom, it was an unusual object with both ice and fire attributes. Now that it has cultivated spiritual wisdom, it can, with just a thought, affect the weather within hundreds of miles of Jinfrost City.

In such weather, fighting against it would undoubtedly decrease the combat power of the human side significantly. Many human cultivators have already expended too much energy on their way to Jinfrost City.

Now that Yun Xiao has forcefully slain the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow spirit creature, the strange phenomenon that has persisted for countless years in Jinfrost City is likely to vanish, which is ultimately a great joy for human cultivators.

Whoosh!

After doing all this, Yun Xiao's silver flame wings on his back gently fluttered as he swept toward the top of the West Gate City wall of Jinfrost City. Only then did the spirit creatures on the city wall awaken as if from a dream.

Unfortunately, it was too late for them to make any moves. With a flicker of a dark light, the head of a Ninth Rank Advanced spirit creature flew high, and Yun Xiao immediately extracted its Spirit Crystal.

At this moment, Yun Xiao's combat prowess was fully unleashed. After battling on this spirit creature battlefield for some time, his strength had grown even more formidable, slaying these Ninth Rank Advanced spirit creatures was just like slaughtering chickens.

Speaking of these spirit creatures in Jinfrost City, perhaps they were frightened out of their wits by the earlier killing of the half-step Heavenly rank Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow spirit, losing all fighting spirit. Yun Xiao was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, striking down one after another.

For these ferocious spirit creatures, Yun Xiao certainly had no mercy. The harvest this time was extremely great, and within just a dozen breaths, nearly ten Ninth Rank Advanced Spirit Crystals were in his hand.

"Run!"

Watching the human youth slaughter the spirit creatures like a demon god, even though there were tens of thousands of spirit creatures in Jinfrost City, they were now like a defeated army collapsing like a mountain. All were dominated by the thought of "escape."

As soon as this thought emerged, even Ninth Rank Advanced spirit creatures, which could originally resist for one or two moves, simply turned and ran without a fight, not daring to linger for even a moment.

These Ninth Rank Advanced spirit creatures fled in all directions. Yun Xiao could only choose to kill the ones nearby. After a short while, no matter how strong or fast he was, he couldn't kill all the Ninth Rank Advanced spirit creatures.

With the highest leader Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow spirit slain and nearly half of the Ninth Rank Advanced spirit creatures killed, where would the low-rank spirit creatures dare to stay in Jinfrost City?

Even though spirit creatures are ruthless and fearless, knowing they can't match up, they won't run to their deaths. They're no fools.

Therefore, after the remaining Ninth Rank Advanced spirit creatures fled in panic, the low-rank spirit creatures inside Jinfrost City scattered even more, not daring to look at the human youth on the city wall for fear of losing their Spirit Crystals.

"One man against a city, this is truly one man against a city!"

Watching the scene vaguely from the city wall, Wu Yingjiang's old face showed excitement as he sighed aloud, and the surrounding human experts strongly agreed.

Outside Jinfrost City now, only these Earth Bending Realm experts remained. Even Wu Yingjiang, a Peak of Earth Bending Realm expert, didn't help at all in this battle. It was all Yun Xiao's performance.

Slaying the half-step Heavenly Rank Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow spirit, then on his own killing more than ten Ninth Rank Advanced alien spirit experts, scaring a crowd of Jinfrost City spirit creatures into panic and flight.

Such an achievement, called "one-man city defense," is not an exaggeration. Until the West Gate of Jinfrost City opened wide, the Earth Bending Realm human experts entered the city, realizing the impact of Yun Xiao's achievements.

The spirit creature army inside Jinfrost City hadn't entirely fled, but even spirit creatures of the same level had lost much fighting spirit when facing human cultivators.

This group of humans represented the elite, so after breaching the city, it was like cutting melons and vegetables. Spirit creatures only fought back when they couldn't escape, most choosing to flee.

With this, many human Earth Bending Realm cultivators slew from the West Gate to the East Gate of Jinfrost City, only retreating and returning to rest when they couldn't catch the fleeing spirit creatures anymore.

What was thought to be a tough battle to defend and attack, and feared massive losses for human forces, actually ended with minimal casualties, capturing this critical city on the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, thanks to one man's shining achievement.
