Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1241: Don’t Worry, He Can’t Escape!

"Truly a coward who fears death!"

Hearing Leng Buyan's deep shout, people like Wu Tong and Xuan Zhao shook their heads with cold smiles. However, they weren't aware of Yun Xiao's intentions, nor did they know if the latter would truly stop after hearing those words.

"From the moment your Wuyan Palace decided to make a move against me, it was already too late!"

Yun Xiao responded to Leng Buyan and the others with just one cold sentence. As soon as he spoke, the face of this Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace instantly showed a trace of despair, along with a hint of madness.

"Killing me won't be that easy!"

Knowing he couldn't change Yun Xiao's mind, Leng Buyan let out a loud shout. Immediately, the Meridian Qi in his whole body became more violent, clearly about to unleash one of Wuyan Palace's powerful techniques.

The remaining three elders of Wuyan Palace saw this and also united against a common foe, surging their Meridian Qi toward Yun Xiao, hoping to grasp that slim chance of turning the tables.

Among these three Wuyan Palace elders, one shared the same Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm cultivation as Song Feng earlier, while the other two were only at the Middle Stage. They all knew that once Leng Buyan was killed, they would likely be at the mercy of others.

Perhaps only by joining forces under Leng Buyan's desperate struggle could they have a sliver of hope for survival, so several Wuyan Palace elders each used their unique moves, attempting to kill the young man on the spot.

But Yun Xiao didn't even glance at these attacks; his target at this moment was solely Leng Buyan. As long as this guy hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, he couldn't pose any threat to him.

A Vein Energy Rocket imbued with a thick Fire Attribute atmosphere suddenly formed in front of Leng Buyan. At such a close distance, even Wu Tong and Xuan Zhao, who had great confidence in Yun Xiao, couldn't help but feel a grip of cold sweat.

Don't be fooled by how quickly Leng Buyan was defeated by the Alien Spirit Leader that day, but he was, after all, a powerhouse at the Peak of the Earth Bending Realm, and from Wuyan Palace at that. His many techniques were far beyond what ordinary Earth Bending Realm cultivators could compare.

For instance, that rocket contained much of Leng Buyan's Essence Blood, as well as a trace of Destructive Power. Once hit, even with a Meridian Refining Master to heal, it would be impossible to recover.

Not to mention, with the current proximity between the two, if the vital point were truly hit, there wouldn't even be a chance for treatment. This was also Leng Buyan's last, most formidable tactic.

After using this rocket technique, the lost essence blood would probably take Leng Buyan years to recover.

But at this moment, to save his life, he had no other choice. Compared to life, what does losing some essence blood matter?

"A rocket, huh? I know that too!"

Just as Leng Wuyan's gaze was fixed on the tip of his rocket, the young man in front of him let out a soft laugh. Then, from his right hand, a rocket also appeared.

"This feeling..."

For a moment, Leng Buyan unexpectedly sensed an unfamiliar yet familiar aura from the rocket Yun Xiao summoned, as if this aura was seen somewhere before.

At this moment, Leng Buyan couldn't afford to think much more; he moved the seal in his hand, and the rocket fiercely shot toward Yun Xiao's throat with astonishing force.

Ding!

However, Yun Xiao's control was naturally more precise. Under his control, the blood-red-tipped rocket in front of him accurately pierced the tip of Leng Buyan's rocket, making a crisp colliding sound.

In the next instant, Leng Buyan, who initially had a trace of confidence, changed his expression drastically. Because the rocket he launched only held for a single breath's time under Yun Xiao's controlled blood-red rocket before being pierced and vanishing without a trace.

Puff!

Moreover, Yun Xiao's rocket didn't lose momentum; after dispersing Leng Buyan's rocket, with unstoppable speed, it directly shot into the former's chest and penetrated from his back, bringing up a splash of blood.

"This... this... this actually is the aura of Holy Fire No Flame?!"

Until his heart was pierced by Yun Xiao's rocket, Leng Buyan remained clear-headed in his final moments, finally recalling why that aura felt so familiar.

Back in Wuyan Palace, Leng Buyan had also seen the Holy Fire No Flame in the Holy Flame Hall. Although that aura was faint, it left an extremely deep impression on him.

Of course, given Leng Buyan's status in Wuyan Palace, he didn't have the privilege to approach the Holy Fire No Flame. Only when the various elders were summoned to the Holy Flame Hall by the Palace Master or Vice Palace Master could he sense that aura intentionally or otherwise.

So earlier, Leng Buyan didn't realize it, but now, as he's dying and suddenly aware of this, it is undoubtedly too late. This secret could only follow him into the depths of hell.

In the moment of his death, Leng Buyan finally understood some things. It seemed that beneath Yanji Lake, there indeed was a Supreme Treasure concerning Wuyan Palace, and ultimately it was Yun Xiao who obtained it.

At this moment, Leng Buyan truly wished he had the chance to send this news back to Wuyan Palace, but alas, with his heart pierced, he would never have that opportunity.

Moreover, as he fell to the ground, Leng Buyan looked at the few Wuyan Palace Elders rushing up, his heart filled with despair. Even he was no match for Yun Xiao in a single move; those foolish guys were simply walking to their deaths.

Thus, Leng Buyan could also guess that the news he received earlier might have been provided by Yun Xiao. With such extraordinary strength, killing the three leaders of the Strange Spirit was likely not impossible.

The sound of Leng Buyan falling seemed to crash into everyone's heart, especially the three Wuyan Palace Elders. They were not as foolish as Leng Buyan thought in his dying moments; being able to cultivate Meridian Qi to such an extent, none of them were utterly stupid.

Seeing Leng Buyan fall to the ground, the three Wuyan Palace Elders stopped in their tracks. They all knew that if they dared to move forward, it would only be a futile death.

Therefore, the three Elders exchanged glances and immediately made a very synchronized decision, which they thought was correct – to flee in three different directions.

In this way, no matter how fast Yun Xiao was, he could only pursue one. With the unlucky one delaying him, at least one of them could escape, and with some luck, perhaps even two could get away.

However, these three Wuyan Palace Elders clearly underestimated Yun Xiao's abilities. Yun Xiao's fingers moved slightly, and the rocket that pierced through Leng Buyan's heart instantly changed direction.

Swish!

A soft sound rang out, and the Elder at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm fleeing north suddenly stiffened. Everyone clearly saw the rocket pierce through his back, causing him to follow in Leng Buyan's footsteps.

Yet, after piercing through that Wuyan Palace Elder, the energy of the rocket seemed finally exhausted, dissipating with a splash of blood, leaving everyone in thought.

Yun Xiao didn't even glance at the Wuyan Palace Cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm. Behind him, Silver Fire Thunder Wings appeared, and his whole being seemed transformed into a silver-gray light, instantly catching up with the Wuyan Palace Elder fleeing south.

This Wuyan Palace Elder was indeed stronger than the previous one, having reached the Late Stage of the Earth Bending Realm. Unfortunately, he faced Yun Xiao's true body, so his end was without surprise.

Thud!

A soft sound echoed as Yun Xiao's right palm gently imprinted on the forehead of the strong fighter at the Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm, shattering his skull, making it impossible for him to live.

Meanwhile, the last Wuyan Palace Elder fleeing west was about to disappear from everyone's sight, causing Wu Tong and others to unconsciously sweat for him.

After all, even if that person had escaped this far under Yun Xiao's Thunder Wings speed, he might not be faster than Yun Xiao. But just as everyone thought Yun Xiao would pursue him, the young man didn't move at all.

"Lord Yun Xiao, he's escaping!"

Xuan Zhao, anxious, directly urged. After all, that was a Wuyan Palace Elder at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm. Once he escaped from view, finding him again would be extremely difficult even for Yun Xiao.

Although they were all human cultivators and collectively fought against the Strange Spirit army during this period, Wuyan Palace's previous actions were contemptible, so they all chose to stand on Yun Xiao's side.

What's more, Leng Buyan and his companions returned to seek advantage, even willing to attack Xuan Zhao. If Yun Xiao hadn't intervened forcefully, Xuan Zhao might have become the monkey killed to warn others.

"Don't worry, he won't escape!"

Just as Xuan Zhao was anxious, the simple-clothed youth spoke softly, yet he remained still. Had he already deployed some strange technique?

"Hmm?"

Under everyone's gaze, the Wuyan Palace Elder who seemed about to disappear from sight suddenly stiffened and then truly fell to the ground, never to move again.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene, seeing the Wuyan Palace Elder who didn't get up for a long time, Xuan Zhao's eyes almost popped out, completely unaware of why such a strange thing happened.

"Tsk, tsk, let's not forget, he is not only adept at Meridian Qi Cultivation, but also a genuine Earth-rank Advanced Poison Vein Master!"

Witnessing everyone's shock, Ruan Ying, the Hawk Squad Captain who had seen the whole process, couldn't help but express his thoughts. Compared to others, he might be quicker to react to Yun Xiao's identity as a Poison Vein Master.

In Ruan Ying's view, with Yun Xiao's means as an Earth-rank Advanced Poison Vein Master, disposing of a Wuyan Palace Elder at the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm probably wouldn't even be noticed. The Wuyan Palace Elder was evidently poisoned and met his untimely end.
