CHAPTER 593: 593 THIS OLD GUY IS HANDED OVER TO YOU!

"This Yun Xiao, is becoming more and more mysterious!"

Many people had this thought in their hearts because if Yun Xiao used other methods to kill Fu Du, or if he used that wooden sword to cut Fu Du into two halves, they would not have been so astounded.

But why would a Meridian Spirit that has been refined by someone be so easily subdued by another person, and even use this newly acquired Meridian Spirit to turn its original master into a human ice sculpture? It’s utterly inconceivable.

It can be said that at this moment, everything Yun Xiao did completely overturned these Peak Spirit Vein Realm experts’ understanding of Meridian Spirits. They all thought to themselves that if they were to fight Yun Xiao later, they absolutely must not deploy any Meridian Spirit attack techniques.

Just kidding, if you dare to use a Meridian Spirit to attack Yun Xiao and it gets taken away like Fu Du’s Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Meridian Spirit and then kills you, what would you do?

In fact, people were overthinking it a bit; although Yun Xiao had some methods of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Inheritance, with his late-stage Spirit Vein Realm cultivation, it would still be impossible for him to take someone else’s Meridian Spirit without some specific factors.

For instance, the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Meridian Spirit he had just subdued was because his body originally contained the aura of a Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, which prevented the toad from rejecting him as an outsider.

Otherwise, even if Yun Xiao had the means to subdue it, it wouldn’t be possible in such a short time to use it at his command to turn the original master into an ice sculpture.

This bizarre and daunting ability had relieved Yun Xiao from one of the biggest threats in the subsequent battles. After all, his strongest point was not his Meridian Qi Cultivation, but some special techniques and his physical strength.

If everyone used Meridian Spirit attacks and did not engage in close combat with him, it would take Yun Xiao multiple times more time and effort to achieve his objectives.

"Hehe, Elder Mo Li, would you like to give it a try too?"

After freezing Fu Du into an ice statue, Yun Xiao gestured with his left hand, retrieving the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Meridian Spirit back to his hand, his gaze quickly shifted towards another elder whom he was also fairly familiar with.

As a former Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, even if Mo Li harbored intense hatred toward Yun Xiao, he couldn’t help but involuntarily back up several steps at this moment, and feeling still uneasy, he retreated another dozen yards, finally feeling somewhat safer.

If even Fu Du had to stay away from a dozen yards range and still got frozen into an ice sculpture by the emitted icy breath of the Meridian Spirit, Mo Li admitted that his own strength was perhaps inferior to Fu Du’s and did not dare to take the risk.

For a time, the various powerful figures surrounding Yun Xiao in the arena did not dare to make the first move, all keeping a distance of nearly twenty yards from Yun Xiao. This scene undoubtedly looked somewhat comical.

It was also the intimidation brought by Yun Xiao’s thunderous strike just now; without understanding the exact nature of the Ice Cold Poisonous Meridian Spirit, no one dared to take this risk.

Ultimately, there was no one among those present whose Meridian Refining Technique surpassed Fu Du’s, and even if Song Hao, the Family Head of the Song Family, might have a slightly stronger Meridian Qi Cultivation, without absolute certainty, he wouldn’t make a move lightly.

Thus, the arena fell into an eerie silence, where a young man in simple clothes stood calmly, his presence so dominating that even the Peak Spirit Vein Realm experts did not dare to act rashly. Such elegance truly overwhelmed people’s hearts.

"Humph, just a Spiritual Rank Poisonous Meridian Spirit, and it scared you all like this; really disgraceful!"

Just as everyone was undecided whether to swarm up together, a cold snort suddenly came from somewhere, followed immediately by a figure in black appearing in front of everyone.

"Mr. Ran Xing!"

Upon recognizing this black-dressed figure, Song Hao, the Family Head of the Song Family, immediately rejoiced. He had originally thought that the Royal Family would not dispatch him, but unexpected at this critical moment, a strong reinforcement had arrived.

You should know that this person was not only an Earth Rank Low Level Meridian Refining Master, but also a true Early Stage Qi Seeking Realm expert, an Earth Rank Third Realm expert. Probably taking into account all the people present, none could match him.

What Song Hao didn’t know was that due to Yun Xiao’s recent wiping out of both Guan and Wang Families, the newly-appointed King Xuan Jiuding felt extremely uneasy. He must completely eliminate this threat.

Since Yun Xiao was destined to come to the Song Family, then take this opportunity to resolve it once and for all by dispatching Ran Xing, their strongest combatant. That was the safest way.

Not mentioning the enormous cost Empress Dowager Nie Yi and Xuan Jiuding had to pay to invite Ran Xing to make a move, in any case, whether it was the Song Family or the Xuantie Army, including the onlookers, upon seeing Ran Xing’s arrival, they all knew that the situation today was likely to shift again.

On the Hidden Dragon Continent, Earth Rank experts were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, because most experts reaching this level had already moved to a higher plane to pursue greater cultivation resources.

Ran Xing was clearly an exception; he was originally a bottom-tier Meridian Refining Master from the Tenglong Continent, but whether in terms of Earth Rank Meridian Refining Technique or that domain of Meridian Qi Cultivation, he was considered top-tier existent here in the Hidden Dragon Continent.

In fact, even if Xuan Jiuding and Nie Yi didn’t sacrifice anything this time, Ran Xing would still have appeared here himself. Yun Xiao, who has repeatedly sabotaged his plans, has always wanted to kill then relish the joy afterward.

"Yun Xiao, I guess that Miss Shen Xingmou is probably not on the Hidden Dragon Continent anymore, right?"

Suddenly appearing, Ran Xing carried a confident light in his eyes, but when mentioning the Heavenly Rank Expert, his tone remained respectfully cautious.

Perhaps Ran Xing was testing Yun Xiao, this young man was so bold, he must have some unknown trump cards; if Shen Xingmou were to appear again, he would have no means to contend against her.

"You are quite smart, rest assured, she won’t appear again!"

Yun Xiao did not conceal anything; after the image of a devastating beauty flashed in his mind, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "But since you are here, you might as well taste this big gift I’ve prepared for you!"

As his voice fell, Yun Xiao lifted his head and whistled towards the sky, then everyone saw a black dot that gradually grew larger, eventually turning into a massive creature with a wingspan of several zhang.

"It’s the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion!"

Regarding this powerful Vein Demon with a lion’s head and blood wings on its back, almost no one was unfamiliar. After the conclusion of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, although the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion was severely injured by Shen Mou with a slap, it eventually broke through to the Seventh Rank Low Level under Yun Wei’s methods.

A Seventh Rank Low Level Vein Demon is even more powerful than a human at the Early Stage of the Qi Seeking Realm, especially Ran Xing who had previously fought with the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion at the Jade Pot Sect, his face inevitably turned extremely sour.

"Damn it, isn’t this Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion a Vein Demon of the Meridian Refining Master Guild of the Lingtian Empire? Why is it always following this kid and not leaving?"

Since the battle at the Jade Pot Sect ended, Ran Xing through the Lingtian Royal Family had also inquired about the origins of the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion, in his view, such a Seventh Rank Vein Demon was surely only lent to Yun Xiao by the Meridian Refining Master Guild, it couldn’t possibly be Yun Xiao’s Demon Pet.

Thus, at this moment Ran Xing felt extremely frustrated because he knew that no matter how strong he was, in the hands of this great family, he could only be crushed, at most, he could only resist slightly.

"This old fellow is all yours!"

Facing a Third Realm Earth Rank expert, Yun Xiao could only rely on the power of the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion; as for the previous Guan Family and Wang Family, there was no need to use the power of a Seventh Rank Vein Demon.

"Roar!"

The Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion naturally recognized the black-clothed elder not far away; it had fought hundreds of rounds in front of the Jade Pot Sect with this fellow previously and had failed to kill him, it had been holding back its anger. Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, it immediately roared angrily and pounced.

Facing a Seventh Rank Low Level Vein Demon, Ran Xing knew that he probably couldn’t accomplish anything significant today; moreover, under the strong attack of this formidable Vein Demon, he couldn’t even take care of others nearby.

"Song Hao, Family Head, I’ll give you an opportunity. If you end yourself, I’ll spare your entire Song Family, how about that?"

Seeing that the battle had begun, Yun Xiao calmly turned his head and suddenly said this, causing Song Hao’s face to instantly darken.

These few words, Yun Xiao had also spoken them when facing the head of the Wang Family, so he never really expected Song Hao to agree; it was just planting a precedent in front of the members of the Song Family.

But without fighting, making a decision, Song Hao wasn’t terrified; Yun Xiao’s words instead ignited his hostility.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment of life and death for the Song Family has arrived. Only by killing Yun Xiao, this bastard, can our Song Family rest easy. Do you have the confidence to join me, the head, in annihilating this foe?"

It must be said that Song Hao did possess some tactics as a Family Head; his words rallied many strong members of the Song Family, just as Song Hao said, without killing Yun Xiao, the future for the Song Family would never be peaceful.

As the saying goes, it’s not the thief you fear, but the thief thinking about stealing. Today, if Yun Xiao is not killed and he escapes, members of the Song Family might well fear leaving their homes, because in a single combat, even Song Hao might not be confident enough to defeat Yun Xiao.

"Elder Mo Li, Commander Yan Chun, let’s strike together!"

After rallying the Song Family, Song Hao shouted, and Mo Li and Yan Chun knowing there was no way out as well, immediately sprang out, repositioning Yun Xiao in the center.

But the soldiers of the Xuantie Army did not move; it seems these Low Rank soldiers were just here to form the formation, if they truly stepped forward, they probably wouldn’t even touch Yun Xiao’s robe before they were doomed.

Suddenly, the battle where numerous strong individuals attacked one person finally began, and the young leader from the Jade Pot Sect who had wiped out the Guan and Wang Families, could he create a miracle this time again? Everyone watching was full of anticipation.
