Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor
Chapter 809 809: Li Qingran? Who Is That?
"Everyone, grab it quickly!"
With the old man's quick action, the others naturally wasted no time, and one of them shouted loudly. Immediately, everyone leapt forward together, it seemed the black-clothed youth holding the Thunder King Token would soon be torn to pieces.
Boom!
However, moments later, a blazing flame suddenly burst from the center of the skirmish. Subsequently, one man's figure abruptly froze, and those cultivators watching from the periphery seemed to see a certain spot on this person covered with a blood-red flame.
"Ah!"
The next moment, a horrific scream suddenly echoed, and everyone stared blankly at the Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage cultivator who was touched by the blood-red flame. His whole body turned into a man on fire, the scream cut off abruptly.
In just a few breaths, the once vibrant person had turned into a pile of pitch-black ashes. If not for the ashes remaining on the ground, no one would remember the existence of that Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage cultivator.
Crack! Crack!
Just as everyone was still caught in shock and uncertainty, a strange sound came from the center of the fight again, and strands of ice crystals began to spread from under a certain cultivator's feet.
A few breaths later, a lifelike ice sculpture was presented before everyone. This was yet another Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage cultivator, who, for unknown reasons, met an untimely death.
The two sudden changes made the other attackers instinctively take a step back, except the Qi Seeking Realm Peak old man who first made a move.
This old man was extremely confident in his own strength, and he also believed that the earlier incident was just those Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage guys being careless, falling unexpectedly into the trap. This was absolutely not the true strength of the opposite black-clothed youth.
Swish!
Right when the old man felt full of confidence, a black gleam swept across. But when he saw it was merely a wooden sword that looked ordinary, he immediately relaxed.
However, this Qi Seeking Realm Peak old man was indeed not arrogant. Although he felt disdain for the ordinary wooden sword, he still took out a similarly sharp long sword from his Waist Storage to block the wooden sword.
"Humph, can my Earth Rank Low Level weapon possibly be unable to block a mere wooden sword?"
This was the true thought in the old man's mind. In his view, once the two swords clashed, not only could he cut the wooden sword in half, but he could also directly sever the opponent's hand holding the Thunder King Token, thus, the Thunder King Token would belong to him.
However, the old man's plans made in great detail failed to account that compared to the unassuming wooden sword, his Earth Rank Low Level weapon was nothing, like an ant meeting a powerhouse. The moment he took out his weapon, everything was already destined.
Swoosh!
A light sound was heard, and the old man felt a lightness in his hand. Next, the black gleam lightly sliced at his neck, without causing him any pain at all.
"What?"
In a moment of confusion, the old man raised the half severed long sword in his hand, seemingly unable to believe the earth rank low-level weapon could be so weak.
At this moment, the old man thought his expensive Earth Rank Low Level weapon was a fake. He decided to find the person who sold him the weapon afterward for an explanation.
But these thoughts only flashed through the old man's mind quickly. The next moment the faces of everyone changed as they clearly saw a distinct line of blood slowly appear on the old man's neck.
This line of blood eventually turned into a spray, launching the old man's head several meters high and causing blood to gush from his neck, far more gruesome than Tong Baisha's earlier sword attack.
Everyone stared blankly at the black-clothed youth, who seemed like a Killing God, realizing they might have misunderstood something.
Originally thought to be an ant easily crushed by hand, it unexpectedly transformed into a giant elephant, trampling those who dared to act against it.
Yun Xiao's entrance was far more astonishing than Tang Yuanmu and Li Qingran from earlier, even more dazzling than the two geniuses from the Killing Heart Sect.
As a result, those who had surrounded Yun Xiao previously couldn't help but tremble, yet their feet felt glued to the ground, knowing that the black-clothed youth's means could kill them easily, and escaping would offer no chance of survival.
"How was it? I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"
Not far away, the white-clad woman, Ye Suxin, glanced sideways at her senior brother, with a tone that held a hint of inexplicable meaning, as if she was rather proud of her own insight.
"Hmph, it's just killing some Qi Seeking Realm ants, isn't it? It's not like I can't do it myself."
Tong Baisha, who had been surprised by Yun Xiao's tactics just a moment ago, had already come to his senses by now. His expression was a bit sheepish, but as he said, with his Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage cultivation, killing a Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage or even Peak Cultivator wouldn't take too much effort.
"The wooden sword in his hand doesn't seem to be an ordinary item!"
Ye Suxin ignored Tong Baisha's discontent. At this moment, her gaze was already on that black-clad youth, or rather, on that inconspicuous wooden sword.
For geniuses like Ye Suxin at the Killing Heart Sect, their life's mission was to constantly assassinate powerful figures, and a weapon strong enough to confuse the enemy might very well simplify their tasks significantly.
Wasn't it the case that the peak Qi Seeking Realm elder just now couldn't see the true nature of that wooden sword, which is why Yun Xiao managed to behead him in a single move?
"If I could obtain that weapon…"
Ye Suxin didn't voice this thought, but the greed in her eyes betrayed her deep inner desire. As one of the few geniuses of the Killing Heart Sect, and with her Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage cultivation, she had never thought she would be inferior to a Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage boy.
Even though Yun Xiao had just killed three people with powerful means, in Ye Suxin's view, it was nothing more than slaughtering chickens and dogs. However, to prevent any unnecessary mishaps, she hadn't acted at this time, because she didn't want to expose many of her methods.
Currently, Ye Suxin's appearance might not be real, and as a genius of the Killing Heart Sect, their philosophy was that if they made a move, it must be a kill in one strike, so that the enemy would never know your methods.
And now, with so many outsiders present, Ye Suxin certainly couldn't believe that she and her senior brother alone could kill all these people, let alone that there's an Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage elder at that side.
"Now, do you still want this Thunder King Token?"
As for the thoughts of the onlooking cultivators, Yun Xiao had no intention of caring. After killing three people with thunderous means, his gaze had already shifted to the other few, the words he uttered carried a trace of unabashed coldness.
If Yun Xiao had dared to say such words before, he would certainly have been ridiculed as being arrogant and overestimating himself. But now, carrying the might of having killed three people, no one treated him as just any ordinary Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage cultivator.
Didn't they see how that peak Qi Seeking Realm elder was turned into a headless corpse in an instant? The remaining cultivators didn't even dare to move, showing how the ruthless actions of that black-clad youth had been intimidating.
"Hmph, just some clever tricks, you may frighten these wastes, but you can't scare me, Li Qingran!"
However, just as the onlooking cultivators were shocked at Yun Xiao's strength and fierceness, a gloomy voice suddenly rang out. From the self-reference in the words, everyone knew it was from Li Qingran of Sky Thunder Valley.
"Li Qingran? And who might that be?"
Compared to the onlookers who were familiar with Li Qingran's identity as the Five Thunder Child, the newly arrived Yun Xiao had a face full of puzzlement. If Lin Xuanhao or Hu Ying'er were beside him, perhaps they would explain who Li Qingran was, but now he was completely ignorant about these geniuses of Tenglong Continent.
"Boy, you're looking to die!"
Seeing Yun Xiao's puzzled expression, Li Qingran was truly outraged. He felt he had been humiliated in broad daylight, and the one who humiliated him was just a Qi Seeking Realm Late Stage boy.
Even though Li Qingran wasn't the most top-notch young genius on Tenglong Continent, being from one of the Three Valleys, Sky Thunder Valley, and having the identity of a Five Thunder Child, even in the Southern Domain of Tenglong Continent, people should have heard of him even if they hadn't seen him.
Yet this black-clad boy in front of him seemed genuinely baffled, as if he really hadn't heard of Li Qingran. But how could Li Qingran believe that? He only thought the other party was putting on an act, trying to humiliate him with such disdainful behavior.
"What? Are you famous?"
Yun Xiao still looked unaware. He thought, even if we had met once in Thunder Mountain, without any conversation, there's no need for me to know who you are, right?
Hearing this, Li Qingran's face turned even redder. In fact, as one of the few talents in Sky Thunder Valley, this Five Thunder Child wasn't someone to be so easily provoked by a few words. It was conceivable how effective Yun Xiao's unintentional way of inciting hatred was.
Or perhaps, this was Li Qingran's deliberate act; pretending to be angered by the other party, making this move all the more justified.
By then, snatching that last Thunder King Token at lightning speed would undoubtedly increase his chances of obtaining the treasures within Thunder King Valley by a great margin.
