Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1245: Chain Reaction

"What?"

Feng Qiyun, who was just about to rush over and assist Liu Hanyi, was momentarily stunned upon seeing this scene, as it was completely beyond his expectations.

That was an Alien Spirit Leader of Ninth Rank Advanced. In Feng Qiyun's opinion, even if he took action, he might not be able to handle it, let alone Liu Hanyi, who had just broken through to the Peak of Earth Bending Realm?

Moreover, Liu Hanyi had clearly been struck hard by that Alien Spirit Leader just now, yet this genius from the Sky Poison Institute had merely touched the alien lightly, causing such a bizarre event to occur?

What could be the reason for that alien to suddenly withdraw at the critical moment of killing Liu Hanyi? Not only Feng Qiyun was baffled, but even the strong people of Ding'an City could not understand at this moment.

But regardless, this result was extremely favorable for the human side. What method Liu Hanyi used was not important; the important thing was that she really seemed to have a chance to deal with the Alien Spirit Leader.

Only Liu Hanyi herself knew that she risked serious injury and even life-threatening danger just now for the purpose of completely fusing her Immortal Embryo Poison into the body of that alien.

Now, simply having her left shoulder's scapula cracked, she had already injected the Immortal Embryo Poison into the alien's body, which was the best outcome for Liu Hanyi.

Liu Hanyi was extremely confident in her Immortal Embryo Poison, which was also the main reason she dared to take such a huge risk. She believed that such an Immortal Embryo Poison, even against an Earth Attribute Ninth Rank Advanced alien, would be disastrously effective.

Like a Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader cast with an Immobilization Technique, the next moment, from where Liu Hanyi had struck it, surfaced a wisp of black gas. Moreover, this wisp of black gas spread rapidly, engulfing its entire form in the blink of an eye.

Swish!

A moment later, the mighty Alien Spirit Leader, whose whole body was earthy yellow, turned pitch black, and then, as if subjected to some kind of technique, its entire body crumbled with a bang.

Just like stones smashed by a heavy hammer, or fine sand ground by machines, the Alien Spirit Leader that all the human and alien eyes were on, collapsed like an ice sculpture.

Staring at the black dust all over the ground, both the human cultivators and the aliens in the core battlefield froze, but their emotions varied, because it was clear that the Alien Spirit Leader was dead beyond doubt.

Nobody had anticipated this outcome beforehand. Even those who had the most confidence in Liu Hanyi, like Feng Qiyun or Ye Ku, never thought they would really kill the Alien Spirit Leader this quickly.

Now that the Alien Spirit Leader was slain, although there were still several Ninth Rank Advanced aliens in the field, the killing of the highest Commander was an unparalleled blow to the morale of these aliens.

As a result, the alien forces became demoralized while the human side's morale soared. Even Feng Qiyun and the others suddenly grew stronger, suppressing many Alien Spirit warriors who only defended and seldom attacked.

The alien army relied heavily on the leader's command. With the Alien Spirit Leader's death, the leaderless alien army crumbled instantly, just like what happened to Gushan City and Lishui City before.

As they say, a defeated army is like a collapsing mountain. The news of the Alien Spirit Leader's death quickly spread across the battlefield outside Ding'an City. The human cultivators, who were just barely holding on, suddenly felt the pressure lifted, seemingly guessing what had happened.

"The leaders succeeded! The Alien Spirit Leader is dead! Everyone, seize the moment, kill these vile aliens!"

Such voices continuously echoed in the battle formations outside Ding'an City, greatly boosting the human side's morale, resulting in a highly effective surge in the assault.

Due to the death of the Alien Spirit Leader, the alien army fell into complete chaos. Under a round of human cultivators' assault, countless died, and those who seized numerous Spirit Crystals were jubilant and extremely excited, as if they were on a high.

Since the alien rampage, the human side had long not achieved such a substantial victory except for the initial incursion into the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield. They could only shrink back to defending the city, not even knowing when it might fall.

The Slaughter Spirit Battlefield's situation had always been dominated by the aliens.

However, now, human cultivators charging out of Ding'an City achieved such a victory, seemingly signaling that from now on, perhaps the situation between aliens and humans might change.

With the one-sided charge, many human cultivators realized why they achieved this great victory. All of this must be attributed to that poison vein genius girl from the Lianyun Mountain Sky Poison Institute: Liu Hanyi!

For some time now, the name "Double Charm of Medicine and Poison" from Lianyun Mountain had become highly resounding. It even surpassed the older generation genius Ye Ku from Lianyun Mountain, ranking above the top talents of the four major forces.

Nevertheless, the genius girl named Liu Hanyi had once again accomplished something shocking and inspiring. Killing the Alien Spirit Leader was the key to this great victory.

It could be said that Liu Hanyi saved the entire Ding'an City, bringing a day of pride to its cultivators. It's believed that from this day forth, the name Liu Hanyi will resonate throughout the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield.

Even the Elder Feng Qiyun of the Sky Poison Institute looked at the girl whose face was slightly pale but still exuded a terrifying aura, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Calculating the time, Liu Hanyi has only been with Lianyun Mountain for three to four years, and within this short span, this girl from the Hidden Dragon Continent has rapidly risen, unexpectedly reaching the level where she stands on equal footing with these elders.

Because Feng Qiyun reflected, if he were to battle that Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader, the possibility of defeat would be over sixty percent, and even if he could win, it would most probably be a Pyrrhic victory, with the possibility of losing his life not entirely out of the question.

Thinking of this, two figures suddenly emerged in Feng Qiyun's mind. One was the heavenly doctor genius, Mo Qing, who was as famous as Liu Hanyi for their medical and poisonous expertise.

The other was Yun Xiaolei, who joined Lianyun Mountain forcefully but stayed at the Meridian Refining Master Association for less than two months.

The reason Feng Qixian thought of Yun Xiao was not because of the intelligence he received earlier, but because he suddenly realized that Liu Hanyi's rapid rise seemingly started around the time that talented boy went to Lianyun Mountain?

If that's the case, the swift advancement of Liu Hanyi and Mo Qing in cultivation and meridian refining techniques might very well be linked to that miraculous boy, making Feng Qiyun quite emotional.

Of course, these were merely the deep thoughts within Feng Qiyun's heart as he watched the human cultivators ruthlessly pursue and annihilate countless Alien Spirit armies, feeling rather gratified.

Regardless, Feng Qiyun was also the power holder of Ding'an City, and this great victory sounded the horn of human counterattack. This battle was destined to be recorded in history.

Presumably, after this battle, the prestige of the Meridian Refining Master Guild would undoubtedly rise, reaching new heights—a feat even the other four top forces couldn't achieve.

"I wonder how things are over at the Heavenly Hospital?"

As Feng Qiyun thought of Mo Qing, an inexplicable feeling arose within him as well. He couldn't tell whether he hoped for the strong of the Heavenly Hospital to achieve such a great victory, or if he wanted the Sky Poison Institute to stand out alone—it was uncertain.

...

Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, Earth Desolate City!

This was a massive city far north of Ding'an City, quite similar in scale to Ding'an City, and controlled by another branch of Lianyun Mountain, the Heavenly Hospital.

Since the Dean of the Heavenly Hospital, Guan Rufeng, also the Second Elder of Lianyun Mountain, had broken through to the Early Stage of the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm over the past year, he did not come to the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield.

As such, the faction of the Heavenly Hospital here was led by Fourth Elder Qiu Xian, whose strength was no less than Feng Qiyun, and his face appeared extremely excited at the moment.

Because Qiu Xian held in his hands a letter just received, reporting news identical to Ding'an City's—briefly detailing the great victory of Gushan City. This was undoubtedly a morale-boosting shot in the arm.

Especially since the young leader of Gushan City's great triumph originated from Lianyun Mountain, even though Qiu Xian was miles away, he felt a shared sense of honor.

The boy named Yun Xiao, who joined Lianyun Mountain for just over two years and spent less than two months there, left an exceedingly profound impression on everyone at the Meridian Refining Master Association.

Winning first place in the disciple selection, he even forcefully killed Bai Wushuang, who had broken through to the Half-step Earth Realm during the annual competition.

Each of these feats highlighted that the boy named Yun Xiao was standing on equal footing with the top geniuses of the Tenglong Continent when he first joined Lianyun Mountain.

Later, after Yun Xiao left Lianyun Mountain, news continued to arrive of him competing with countless prodigies in Xuanyin Hall, even killing several Late Stage Earth Bending Realm experts of major forces at Yanji Lake, leaving the elders of Lianyun Mountain dumbfounded.

Now, as the Alien Spirit calamity breaks out, the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield is forced to huddle within the city under the Alien Spirit's suppression. The great victory of Gushan City is undoubtedly the turning point for reversing the situation, a notion Qiu Xian firmly believed.

Boom!

While Qiu Xian was filled with excitement holding the letter, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted from the great hall in front of him, prompting him to raise his head abruptly.

"Is this...a breakthrough?"

Sensing the erupting aura, Qiu Xian first paused, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face because he knew that within that great hall, having been in secluded cultivation for three full days, was the current top talent of the Heavenly Hospital: Mo Qing!

Only, Qiu Xian didn't expect that in such a short period, Mo Qing could make yet another breakthrough, and already being in the Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm, Mo Qing has now once again broken through, shockingly reaching the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, just like him.
