Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor
Chapter 1478: Utter Defeat for All!
"In such a dire situation, even if the so-called omnipotent Yun Xiao were to appear, I’m afraid it would be beyond saving, wouldn’t it?"
Among those observing, a Heavenly Rank expert at the Early Stage of the Floating Life Realm looked at a particular chaotic battlefield, and couldn’t help but express this thought, which many agreed with.
The pinnacle battle high in the sky needs no elaboration. The two Heavenly Realm experts are evenly matched, neither able to overpower the other in the short term.
The battle between Chi Yan and Fu Lingxue is also holding steady. Similarly, the battle between Guan Rufeng and that Great Elder of the Wuyan Palace is equally matched. These three battles have all reached a stalemate.
However, aside from these three battles, the current Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, Wu Zhukong, is fighting against seven opponents and has an absolute upper hand. The Peak Lingyun Realm cultivation cannot be bridged merely by numbers.
The Heavenly Rank expert realized this, which is why he dared to make such a statement. In his memory, Yun Xiao was only at the Middle Stage of the Floating Life Realm just over a month ago at the Meridian Refining Conference, right?
Yun Xiao indeed shone brilliantly at the Meridian Refining Conference, winning championships in both medicine and poison, but with such a gap in Meridian Qi combat power, it is impossible to create any miracles.
What outsiders could see, the many Meridian Refining Masters of Lianyun Mountain also understood, which is why their expressions turned extremely gloomy.
Because they all knew that if things continued this way, the current Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, Wu Zhukong, would soon achieve victory. At that time, what awaited the headquarters of the Meridian Refining Masters would be the same destruction as Xuanyin Hall.
Since the two sides have already torn their faces, Wuyan Palace will likely not scruple against the Meridian Refining Master Association. The so-called "eliminate the root" means that everyone belonging to the Association may not live.
"Why hasn’t Senior Brother Yun Xiao come out yet?"
At the position of the Sky Poison Institute talents, Si Mo glanced deeply into the Meridian Refining Master Association with some urgency, questioning aloud what he was hoping for.
Compared to those onlookers outside, perhaps in the hearts of these young talents from Lianyun Mountain, there is already a blind trust in that omnipotent, coarse-clothed boy?
That Floating Life Realm Early Stage expert had a sliver of rationality left, believing that even if Yun Xiao appeared, he couldn’t turn the tide. But in the eyes of Si Mo and others, as long as that boy appeared, perhaps all their troubles would vanish.
For instance, Ye Ku, Si Mo, and others knew that Yun Xiao entered the Refining Treasure Hall to seek treasures, but since Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing had already come out of the Refining Treasure Hall, why was he still lingering?
"Yun Xiao, if you don’t come out soon, you might not see those companions again!"
Elsewhere, Nie Xiaosheng of the Shenxiao Sect also muttered darkly, sensing the situation over there and understanding how dire it was for Lianyun Mountain.
Nie Xiaosheng held Yun Xiao in great esteem, but alas, as the future Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect and only at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm himself, he had no qualification to participate in such high-level battles.
Therefore, Nie Xiaosheng could only pray for Yun Xiao to come out quickly, even though such prayers might be futile. For some reason, he, like Ye Ku, Si Mo, and others, all held an inexplicable confidence in that boy.
Boom!
Just then, as many young talents from Lianyun Mountain, along with Nie Xiaosheng and others, were envisioning that slender, coarse-clothed figure, a loud noise suddenly came from somewhere, snapping them back to reality.
"Pfft!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a graceful figure flying backward, spurting blood in the air, with her aura plummeting instantly, clearly severely injured.
"It’s the eldest daughter of Xuanyin Hall!"
Some keen-eyed High Rank Meridian Refining Masters immediately recognized the one flying backward and spitting blood as the so-called Queen of Absolute Vein from Xuanyin Hall, Xue Ningxiang, but at this moment, Xue Ningxiang clearly had no strength left to fight.
The figure flying backward was indeed Xue Ningxiang. After all, she only had Early Stage Qi Seeking Realm cultivation, which she had only advanced to in recent years, so her foundation was somewhat unstable compared to others.
Moreover, ever since the destruction of Xuanyin Hall, Xue Ningxiang had been physically and mentally exhausted, and had not had good rest along the way. Under such enormous pressure, all these drawbacks surfaced.
These factors made Xue Ningxiang the first to be knocked out of the fight. Seizing an opportunity, Wu Zhukong struck her left shoulder with a palm that shattered her scapula.
If Xue Ningxiang hadn’t forcibly activated her Illusion Yin Ghost Body at the moment of impact to partially absorb the force, it might not have been impossible for her heart meridian to be shattered by the blow, resulting in instant death.
Boom!
Xue Ningxiang’s exit seemed to trigger a chain reaction. Immediately afterward, another loud sound echoed. A black-clad figure staggered backward nearly ten steps, the blood spilling from the mouth underscoring heavy injuries akin to Xue Ningxiang’s.
"Senior Sister Mo Qing is also defeated!"
At the location of the Heavenly Hospital’s talents, a young genius looked extremely troubled, as Mo Qing was already considered the leader among the current generation of the Heavenly Hospital.
Even though Mo Qing possesses the constitution of the Pure Yang Immortal Body, until she has cultivated this special abnormal body to great success, she remains only at the Early Stage of the Floating Life Realm. Her ability to persevere for so long has already been an extraordinarily commendable performance.
Bang! Bang! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
After heavily injuring Xue Ningxiang and Mo Qing, Wu Zhukong unleashed alternating palms to strike against Ling Wan and Liu Hanyi, sending this pair of man and woman flying tens of yards away in opposite directions.
Of them, Ling Wan’s Mixed Element One Qi Body was instantly dissipated, his aura withered to the extreme, rendering him nearly incapable of standing.
In comparison, Liu Hanyi’s injuries were far more severe, for she was neither adept at physical body cultivation nor was her Meridian Qi much stronger than ordinary cultivators.
What Liu Hanyi has always relied on is merely her Immortal Poison Body, for as long as one is afflicted by its Immortal Embryo Poison, regardless of being one realm or two realms higher, they would fall at her mercy.
Unfortunately, this time Liu Hanyi’s opponent was far too formidable, and moreover, Wu Zhukong cultivated a dense Fire Attribute Technique, within which the Ancestral Vein Fire was exceedingly strong.
When Liu Hanyi’s otherwise unrivaled Immortal Embryo Poison was unleashed, Wu Zhukong’s formidable Ancestral Vein Fire burned it away entirely, leaving her strongest means practically useless.
Thus, Liu Hanyi, struck by Wu Zhukong’s palm, not only spewed blood uncontrollably but sustained injuries even more grievous than those of Xue Ningxiang and Mo Qing, incapable of even crawling up.
Consequently, after eliminating four of his original seven opponents, the remaining three, though slightly stronger than Mo Qing and others, the outcome at this very moment was already destined.
"Stop struggling, you are no match for me!"
Wu Zhukong felt somewhat triumphant, seemingly foreseeing imminent grand victory, even having defeated opponents seven-to-one one by one, what else were these three fellows?
"I’ll fight you to the death!"
Among those on the scene who most hated Wu Zhukong, besides the heavily injured Xue Ningxiang, would have to be Lian Yuluo, seeing Wu Zhukong nearing decisive victory, her despair deepened, she resolved on mutual destruction.
Yet at this moment, how could Wu Zhukong possibly allow Lian Yuluo to seize such an opportunity? With a full realm’s difference between the two, the latter’s desperate actions ended up as futile attempts.
Bang!
In merely a couple of moves, the desperate Lian Yuluo found Wu Zhukong seizing the opportunity, punching her back, nearly breaking her spine.
Thus, the Vice Hall Master of Xuanyin Hall lost her combat ability in this instant, but her eyes, lying on the ground, were fixed fiercely on the contemporary Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, filled with extreme malice, as if wishing to devour him alive.
"Go join them then!"
Wu Zhukong paid no heed to Lian Yuluo’s spiteful gaze, in his view, it was just the bitterness of the defeated, so he simply turned his head and lightly spoke to Qian Sanyuan.
As if corroborating Wu Zhukong’s words, when his voice fell, a contingency seemingly long prepared caught Qian Sanyuan off guard.
The Vice President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, under Wu Zhukong’s powerful attack, softly collapsed, though not as brutally catapulting back as Mo Qing and others did earlier, yet it was evident to all he was seriously injured, utterly incapable of further battle.
"What do you say, Qingmu Wu? At this point, do you still insist on resisting stubbornly?"
Of seven opponents, six have fallen, leaving this one merely at the Early Stage of the Lingyun Realm. As Wu Zhukong turned around in triumphant satisfaction, an indescribable aura of dominance exuded from him.
On this continent, ultimately, power commands respect; this fact was evident when Wu Zhukong took on seven at once and in a remarkably short duration, defeated them individually.
"Hmph, once the Chairman secures victory, our fate will be yours, Wu Zhukong!"
Though old and seasoned, Qingmu Wu, knowing well the impending heavy defeat, refused verbally to concede in any measure, yet his words merely elicited a derisive smile from Wu Zhukong.
"Well then, I shall spare your life momentarily, so that you may see who truly claims the final victory!"
Wu Zhukong, rather than enraged by Qingmu Wu’s words, developed a notion akin to a cat playing with mice for in his heart, his teacher was eternally unbeaten.
Bang!
Only moments later, Qingmu Wu was punched by Wu Zhukong, collapsing like Qian Sanyuan onto the ground. This Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, kept his promise, sparing these seven of their lives.
Perhaps Wu Zhukong genuinely wishes to let these individuals witness who is truly the strongest on the Tenglong Continent, shattering the last and largest hope within their hearts is his ultimate goal.
