Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1075: Are You Scared?
Everyone present was deceived by the shadow clones Yun Xiao had executed. They all thought it was just an afterimage created by extreme speed, but in reality, it was merely a special body meridian technique executed by Yun Xiao.
Gu Changsheng, the top genius of Xuanyin Hall, was momentarily caught off guard, just like Su Jian, who was thoroughly enjoying himself battling a shadow clone. Meanwhile, the expressions of the Chang brothers from Impermanence Island shifted dramatically.
In front of the Chang brothers, the space gently oscillated, and soon a familiar figure in coarse clothes appeared in their line of sight, alarmingly close.
"Qiu, watch out!"
The elder of the Chang brothers, Chang Chun, responded quickly. As soon as he noticed the slightly familiar movements of the youth in rough garments, his instincts kicked in, and he issued a warning.
However, Chang Chun’s warning came a bit too late. Used by Yun Xiao to close the distance with the shadow clone meridian technique, the Ancestral Vein Fire flickered on his right arm, and the pale purple Illusion Yin Grass instantly turned a light green.
Illusion Yin Grass can transform into seven colors in total, and legend has it that each of these colors produces a slightly different illusionary effect. Every color transformation signifies the triggering of an illusionary effect.
Yun Xiao was now very close to Chang Qiu, who, after all, was only an ordinary Peak of Seeking Origin Realm cultivator. Even though the brothers working together could match a Half-step Earth Realm, individually they were far inferior to the genius Su Jian from Douling Commerce.
Their joint attack was far more effective due to their seamless divided advance and joint attack technique.
Opponents who blocked one strike would often get hit by a cunning, bizarre follow-up attack. These twin brothers, like a four-armed, four-legged monster, were challenging to guard against.
Unfortunately, the Chang brothers couldn’t employ their divided advance and joint attack method under Yun Xiao’s speed and shadow clone meridian technique. The moment Chang Qiu caught a whiff of the faint fragrance, his mind abruptly shifted.
Firstly, Chang Qiu was not as robust as Su Jian, secondly, Yun Xiao was prepared, and this time Chang Qiu inhaled far more of the Illusion Yin Grass fragrance than Su Jian.
In just a fleeting moment, Chang Qiu’s originally normal eyes turned entirely verdant green, looking rather eerie. His aura suddenly surged, and he directly tore the "Yun Xiao" in front of him into pieces.
Knowing the characteristics of the Illusion Yin Grass, how could Yun Xiao stay in place to fight a life-and-death battle with Chang Qiu?
Clearly, after delivering the fragrance of the Illusion Yin Grass beneath Chang Qiu’s nose, Yun Xiao had already executed the shadow clone meridian technique once more, leaving the battlefield.
"Die! All of you should die!"
At this moment, Chang Qiu seemed unaware that he had only shredded a shadow. As he lost sight of the enemy, he repeatedly let out a low growl, then felt a hand tapping his shoulder.
"Qiu, what’s wrong?"
The one tapping Chang Qiu’s shoulder was, of course, Chang Chun, the elder of the Chang brothers. The two had always been inseparable, living and eating together, and they had long since become indispensable to each other.
Seeing Chang Qiu’s condition, Chang Chun couldn’t care less about dealing with Yun Xiao. He knew the power of the Illusion Yin Grass well enough to understand the risk that if he wasn’t careful, his brother might never recover.
Boom!
But just as Chang Chun was examining how deeply poisoned his brother was after tapping his shoulder, a sudden force attacked him.
Unexpectedly, Chang Qiu had turned on him, delivering a powerful blow without any reservation.
Fortunately, despite his concern for his brother’s condition, Chang Chun wasn’t entirely unprepared, especially having witnessed Su Jian’s earlier ordeal, so he managed to dodge just in time to avoid serious injury.
However, this time, the amount of Illusion Yin Grass fragrance Chang Qiu had inhaled far surpassed that of Su Jian, and his own power was far below Su Jian’s. Consequently, unlike the Douling Commerce genius, he didn’t snap out of it after a single strike.
Bam, bam, bam!
Suddenly, a peculiarly bizarre scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes. The once inseparable twin brothers began an all-out brawl on Lake Heart Island.
Moreover, Chang Qiu’s attacks showed no mercy whatsoever but were instead all aimed at killing, as if the elder brother before him was his sworn enemy, an unyielding foe he’d cease at nothing to destroy.
On the other hand, Chang Chun dared not go full strength. He knew that his brother was merely being deceived by the illusionary nature of the Illusion Yin Grass, which caused him to attack, meaning no true harm. He couldn’t treat the situation like a life-and-death vengeance.
As a result, even though Chang Chun held an advantage in terms of strength, it wasn’t by much. With one party fighting desperately and the other hesitant, Chang Chun soon found himself at a disadvantage.
"Isn’t that guy just too much of a demon?"
Seeing the Chang family’s brothers turn on each other in an instant, everyone felt a sigh in their hearts. The "that guy" they referred to was naturally Yun Xiao.
Merely by utilizing the illusory nature of Illusion Yin Grass, he almost caused Su Jian to lose his mind, and even made the blood brothers of the Chang family turn on each other. This hand of overturning clouds and rain is truly breathtaking.
As a result, Yun Xiao, who initially might have faced three half-step Earth Realm opponents, was now left with only Su Jian and Gu Changsheng to deal with. Moreover, with the Illusion Yin Grass in his hand, who knows when he might bring it close to their noses for a whiff.
A Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure has unexpectedly become an unrivaled weapon in Yun Xiao’s hands, even better than some middle-high-level Earth Rank weapons. Not to mention that no one expected it, even Su Jian and Gu Changsheng’s faces turned unsightly at this moment.
How profound must one’s understanding of Illusion Yin Grass be to casually exploit its illusory properties to defeat enemies? Watching the fiercely battling Chang brothers over there, everyone has reason to believe that this battle is likely to continue to the point of undying.
"Yun Xiao, what’s the skill in relying on Illusion Yin Grass? If you have the guts, stop using these sinister tricks and fight us with real swords and guns!"
While everyone was filled with amazement, Su Jian suddenly let out a deep voice, causing odd looks from all around. They silently wondered, "You are the ones bullying with numbers; from what standpoint are you saying such things?"
The first genius of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, Su Jian, is known for two "skills" in his life: one is intelligence far superior to ordinary people, and the other is this shamelessly thick skin.
Clearly, Su Jian was the one who, along with everyone else, wanted to gang up on Yun Xiao initially. Now, upon seeing the latter gain a formidable means, he wants to provoke the opponent with words to make him abandon his most powerful means. This skin is simply too thick to describe.
Only the crowd knew that Su Jian’s clumsy goading would likely have no effect. Given such a powerful weapon, how could Yun Xiao possibly abandon its use?
"What? Are you scared?"
Sure enough, after Su Jian’s words, Yun Xiao, appearing at a certain location, slowly turned his head and questioned aloud, while gently shaking the Illusion Yin Grass in his hand. However, this time, the grass did not change color.
"Alright, if you’re scared, then using this Illusion Yin Grass against you would be somewhat dishonorable, so let’s do as you wish!"
Yet just as the crowd heard Yun Xiao’s words and assumed he would never abandon this weapon, this rough-clothed young man actually uttered such words.
These words not only left everyone on the scene scratching their heads but also caught Su Jian, who had tried to provoke him, completely off guard. Then, they saw the rough-clothed boy actually put away the Illusion Yin Grass into his Waist Storage.
"Isn’t this guy just a bit too stupid?"
Among the onlookers, Ye Suxin frowned. Although she had never had a good impression of Yun Xiao, she was somewhat disappointed with his actions, as they seemed unlike the Yun Xiao she knew.
Perhaps in Ye Suxin’s heart, if Yun Xiao could defeat the top talents like Su Jian and Gu Changsheng of the Tenglong Continent, then her defeat at his hands wouldn’t be so embarrassing.
"If he wants to court death, who can blame him?"
Hearing Ye Suxin’s words, Ji Sanjian showed a sneer. He admitted that he probably would never be able to take care of Yun Xiao in his life, but if that guy were to die under the combined efforts of Su Jian and Gu Changsheng because of his cleverness, it would, in a way, avenge him of his shame and hatred.
Most of the island’s onlookers thought like Ji Sanjian. The rough-clothed young man seemed smart, so why make such a muddle-headed mistake at this time? Was it really due to Su Jian’s provocation?
Only a few deep-thinking individuals could vaguely guess Yun Xiao’s intentions. After all, the Illusion Yin Grass would only be most effective when unexpectedly used. Once a tactic is revealed to others, it’s unlikely to yield any more miraculous results.
Indeed, that’s what Yun Xiao thought. Being able to make the Chang brothers turn on each other with the Illusion Yin Grass had already met his expectations.
Moreover, seeing Su Jian instantly sober up earlier, the Illusion Yin Grass would have little effect on geniuses of the half-step Earth Realm. At the very least, it wouldn’t be significant enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
"Actually, to deal with you guys, who needs Illusion Yin Grass?"
After storing away the Illusion Yin Grass, Yun Xiao’s next words made Su Jian and Gu Changsheng’s faces even more unsightly. It seemed their dignity, being top talents of the Tenglong Continent, was being trampled upon.
These two were the most outstanding talents within their respective forces, unchallengeable among the younger generation on the Tenglong Continent, yet this youngster named Yun Xiao actually dared to speak in such a tone; it was truly unbearable.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In response to Yun Xiao’s words, Su Jian and Gu Changsheng could no longer contain themselves. At this point, even if the opponent still had the Illusion Yin Grass, they would not hesitate. Moreover, the seemingly unrivaled Illusion Yin Grass had already been stored away by Yun Xiao.
