Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1113: Fire Puppet

The name Yun Xiao seems to possess some kind of magical power, causing everyone who looks at the rough-clothed youth to feel a sense of astonishment.

As the dazzling figure in everyone's eyes, Yun Xiao didn't have too many thoughts. He leaped down from the third floor of the tavern and slowly walked in front of the two brothers from Wuyan Palace.

At this moment, the face of the Wuyan Child Demon was full of horror. Even though he knew that he might not be Yun Xiao's opponent, he never expected that Duan Wuya, who was always known for his strong physical prowess, couldn't even withstand one move from Yun Xiao.

With his right leg severed, Duan Wuya could only manage to stand on one leg, while Long Xiwawa was surrounded by intense fire attribute aura, staring at the approaching rough-clothed youth with full vigilance.

"Yun Xiao, my teacher is the Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, do you dare to act against me?"

This genius, known as Wuyan Child Demon, was somewhat bluffing at this moment. However, his teacher was indeed the Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, whose strength was possibly not inferior to Xuanyin Hall Master Xue Tianao.

In the past, as Long Xiwawa traversed the continent, he wasn't invincible, but those stronger than him in the Earth Bending Realm would give him some face upon learning his identity, not just because of the Wuyan Palace background, but also because of his teacher who was nearly unrivaled in the Tenglong Continent.

"I dared to kill Su Jian, you're not much different from him, are you?"

Yun Xiao's face didn't show much expression, and his steps didn't slow down either. With these words, he elaborated on Long Xiwawa's remarks.

Since this Wuyan Child Demon dared to act against him, he must be prepared to be counter-killed. With the Spirit Fighting Commerce already as a great enemy, Yun Xiao didn't mind adding another Wuyan Palace to the list.

Moreover, Yun Xiao knew very well that if he gathered the four Wuyan Cloth fragments, he would definitely seek out the so-called secret treasure of Wuyan Palace, risking offense no matter what.

Swish!

Yun Xiao moved swiftly and, upon finishing his words, quickly drew the Dragon Taming Sword from his back. A dark light flashed, causing Long Xiwawa's face to instantly turn pale.

However, this Wuyan Child Demon was not someone who would sit idly by waiting for death. He had seen the sharpness of the Dragon Taming Sword and knew that if this wooden sword struck him, a part of his body might silently separate.

As the number one genius of Wuyan Palace, Long Xiwawa had many life-saving methods. For some reason, his figure slightly swayed, and a blazing aura erupted, with a fire figure appearing in the spot he originally stood.

"Is that the 'Fire Puppet' of Wuyan Palace?"

Seeing this scene, Nie Xiaosheng murmured aloud, instantly making many nearby cultivators understand the technique Long Xiwawa was now employing.

Most cultivators in Wuyan Palace practice fire attribute techniques, and Long Xiwawa was no exception. Talents like Nie Xiaosheng from Shenxiao Sect, who are well-informed, knew of a unique secret technique in Wuyan Palace.

This was the fire figure that Long Xiwawa condensed using certain methods, known as a "Fire Puppet," a flame puppet intended to stand in for oneself at critical moments to receive enemy attacks.

Of course, using this Fire Puppet requires preparation in advance, meaning the puppet must be pre-cast in a certain place, then when attacked by an enemy, the body's position is instantly swapped with the puppet's direction.

So upon hearing Nie Xiaosheng's murmurs, everyone began looking around, hoping to find where Long Xiwawa's true body was switched, and whether it could escape alive from Yun Xiao's hands.

Swish!

Yun Xiao's Dragon Taming Sword sliced directly across the Fire Puppet's neck, immediately realizing it felt wrong, lacking the sensation of cutting flesh, his face showing a trace of interest.

"A flame puppet, is it?"

From Yun Xiao's experience, although he didn't know the name of this Fire Puppet, he had seen such special puppet techniques in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud in his previous life, and much more formidable than these single-attribute Fire Puppets.

By analogy, just as there's a Fire Puppet, there are naturally Water Puppets and Wood Puppets. Yun Xiao once saw in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud a unique being of the Holy Rank Third Realm skilled in using Five Elements Puppets. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Those puppets, once deployed, were dazzling and difficult to guard against.

"Hmph, is escape possible?"

Following his thoughts, Yun Xiao's Power of Soul overflowed, instantly locating where Long Xiwawa's true body was. Seeing silver lights flashing below his shoulders, a pair of massive silver wings soon appeared to the onlookers.

"Is that… Flying Meridian Techniques?"

Except for the few talents like Nie Xiaosheng who remained in Extreme Yin City, no one in the scene had seen Yun Xiao's Thunder Dragon's Wings, causing jaws to nearly drop to the ground.

They could see that Yun Xiao had wings on his back, perhaps the long-lost Flying Meridian Techniques from legend. But how could such a thing appear on a young boy from the Tenglong Continent?

Even a few like Nie Xiaosheng who had seen the Thunderous Wings on the seventh level of the Xuanyin Cave felt extraordinarily amazed when they saw it for the second time, filled with envy and jealousy.

Yun Xiao had no such concerns. Since the Thunder Dragon's Wings had already been revealed on the seventh level of the Xuanyin Cave, there was no need to hide it further.

The Thunder Dragon's Wings not only gave Yun Xiao flying power equivalent to the Earth Rank Third Realm, but the speed it offered was unimaginable to ordinary people.

So, at that moment, when Yun Xiao summoned the Thunder Dragon's Wings and flew in a certain direction, a small figure slowly emerged there. It was none other than the Wuyan young demon Long Xiwawa.

Long Xiwawa had great confidence in his fire puppet technique — it even deceived a true expert of the Earth Bending Realm, allowing him to escape with his life.

Long Xiwawa decided that this guy named Yun Xiao was too mysterious. Even Lie Shan couldn't handle him, so there must be another way after escaping.

However, as a member of the Wuyan Palace, Long Xiwawa believed that with his influence, he could still prompt some early or late Earth Bending Realm experts from the palace to help. He was determined to ensure that this kid, who embarrassed him, would have no place to die.

"Hmm?"

But just as Long Xiwawa was plotting to move his true body to a supposedly safe place, a sharp aura suddenly came, causing his hair to stand on end and his entire body to instinctively shift a few inches to the side.

The speed of the Wuyan young demon's reaction was beyond Yun Xiao's expectations, but Yun Xiao's change of move was even faster. Seeing that this sword piercing wasn't going to take Long Xiwawa's life, he immediately lowered it and lightly slashed at the young demon's waist.

Scritch!

Upon hearing a soft sound, Long Xiwawa had just felt thankful for escaping death, when suddenly his waistlightened. Immediately afterward, his face darkened considerably.

Yun Xiao sliced with his Dragon Taming Sword, while his free left hand swept up the belt that had fallen from Long Xiwawa's waist — it was the Waist Storage in which this Wuyan young demon stored items.

Yun Xiao knew that the Waist Storage contained a piece of the Wuyan Cloth Fragment. Thus, with this addition, four pieces of the Wuyan Cloth Fragment were finally gathered. Truly an unexpected delight!

Honestly, even after finding three pieces of the Wuyan Cloth earlier, Yun Xiao had little hope of obtaining the fourth one. The vastness of the Tenglong Continent made it incredibly difficult to find even a small scrap of cloth.

At least from Bianlei City to Lianyun Mountain, then to Xuanyin Hall, Yun Xiao hadn't heard even a hint about the Wuyan Cloth, leading him to almost forget its existence.

Who would have thought, after failing to find it despite the effort, that the first genius of the Wuyan Palace would deliver it unexpectedly, greatly uplifting his mood?

"Yun Xiao, the Wuyan Cloth is related to the supreme treasure of our Wuyan Palace, you're courting death by taking it!"

Although he narrowly escaped death in just a few moves from Yun Xiao, upon seeing Yun Xiao seize his Waist Storage, Long Xiwawa couldn't help but shout out.

"You should worry about yourself first!"

Yun Xiao paid no mind to Long Xiwawa's threat. After stowing the Waist Storage into his own, his face was already showing a cold killing intent. Anyone who dared to provoke him wouldn't have a good end.

A mere half-step Earth Realm Long Xiwawa meant nothing to Yun Xiao. With just a few swings of his Dragon Taming Sword, he pushed the first genius of the Wuyan Palace into a corner with no escape.

The fire puppet Long Xiwawa had used earlier was no longer an option since it required advance setup, which Yun Xiao would certainly not allow him time for now.

"Yun Xiao truly lives up to his reputation!"

Witnessing the fight, where the renowned Long Xiwawa, almost universally acknowledged as the top young talent on the Tenglong Continent, was driven to a desperate situation by a youth barely twenty, countless onlookers sighed with emotion.

"The horizon for Tenglong Continent's young generation is going to change!"

The first genius of the Shenxiao Sect, Nie Xiaosheng, had even lesser strength than Long Xiwawa. Hearing him mutter, the others felt the truth settling in their hearts.

Shenxiao Sect maintained a list targeting the young elites of Tenglong Continent. Previously, figures like Long Xiwawa, Su Jian, and Gu Changsheng firmly held the top three spots. However, now it seemed that the young Yun Xiao might also claim a place there.

Yet, some had different thoughts since everyone knew Long Xiwawa was the proud disciple of the Wuyan Palace Master. Should he truly die at Yun Xiao's hands, opinions would vary on how long the youth could remain on the Shenxiao Sect's list.
