Chapter 1810: Still Too Much of a Strain!

"Yun Xiao, how dare you show disrespect to Lord Canglong? I’ll make you pay a hundredfold for your words!"

Sensing the highly poisonous Meridian Qi rising in his body, Xue Qi’s confidence undoubtedly reached an extreme, as her icy voice echoed in the depths of the Murong Tomb, hinting at unrestrained killing intent.

Such words caused the spectators in the distance to shiver involuntarily. Compared to being swiftly killed by the blade, enduring the endless suffering from a Poison Vein Master’s poison, yet unable to die, was far more terrifying.

At this moment, many people’s gazes turned to the deceased Ruan Buwei, secretly thinking that dying painlessly from that wooden sword stroke was indeed a form of luck.

But Yun Xiao didn’t need such luck. Hearing Xue Qi’s confident words, he curled his lips, and from his body, a highly poisonous Meridian Qi surprisingly also emerged.

"Could it be that this ragged boy is also a Poison Vein Master?"

Sensing the aura rising from Yun Xiao, the spectators were thoughtful. Although they had suspected Yun Xiao was a Poison Vein Master for a long time, it was only at this moment that they truly confirmed it.

After all, when Yun Xiao poisoned Yue Qizhai outside, he used a mysterious poison that even a Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison Vein Master couldn’t handle, indicating that the ragged boy’s Poison Meridian Rank was at least no lower than Heavenly Rank Advanced.

"Yun Xiao, I know you won the double champion in the Meridian Refining Conference on Tenglong Continent, but in my eyes, Xue Qi, those achievements are worthless!"

Sensing the highly poisonous Meridian Qi from Yun Xiao, a glint flashed in Xue Qi’s beautiful eyes, remembering those events heard on Tenglong Continent and voicing disdain.

"So this young man is from Tenglong Continent; no wonder he has no reverence for the Emperor Canglong Palace!"

Here and now, the spectators finally had a direct understanding of Yun Xiao’s identity and could guess why the young man dared to kill so many people from the Emperor Palace.

If he were a native cultivator of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, no matter how fearless, he would have thought about his family and friends before offending the Emperor Canglong Palace, risking extermination.

But as a young man from the Lower Plane of Tenglong Continent, it was evident he had no family or friends in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, living solo, not fearing anyone, like a lone wolf.

"Unexpectedly, a young man from Tenglong Continent could possess such cultivation talent; it’s truly..."

One elderly spectator’s face showed embarrassment, seemingly startled by Yun Xiao’s astounding cultivation speed.

This ragged young man seemed just over twenty, yet he had reached the Heavenly Realm Late Stage, possessing unrivaled Ancestor Vein Power.

Such a comparison made the native cultivators of Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, who had painstakingly cultivated for decades or centuries, only to reach the Early Middle Stage of Heavenly Realm, seem utterly incomparable.

As for the double champion of the Tenglong Continent’s Meridian Refining Conference, for the Meridian Refining Masters of Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, it was nothing notable, as they inherently felt superior to Lower Plane cultivators.

However, excluding anomalies like Yun Xiao, faced with Yun Xiao’s terrifying battle records, none of them considered themselves a match for that youth.

Perhaps only a super-genius like Xue Qi from the Emperor Canglong Palace could suppress the ragged youth; this seemed to be an impending fierce confrontation.

Earlier when Xue Qi appeared, people predicted the battle would be one-sided, but after Yun Xiao twice easily countering Xue Qi’s attacks, such thoughts were undoubtedly discounted.

It seemed that the Emperor Canglong Palace’s talent, a Holy Vein Three Realms Transformation Realm Early Stage expert, found it not as easy as expected to deal with a youth elevated to Heavenly Realm Peak through Ancestor Vein Power.

In a blink of an eye, as people’s thoughts churned, Xue Qi’s poisonous Meridian Qi had formed a giant entity, amazingly resembling the previous Canglong Illusion.

However, compared to the earlier illusionary Canglong, the present Canglong before Xue Qi was evidently more tangible, radiating a unique green hue, looking quite eerie.

If earlier Xue Qi’s Canglong Illusion aimed to use a touch of Canglong Dragon Might to defeat the enemy, this time, with the toxic Canglong, the power was vastly increased.

Even if Xue Qi didn’t know how Yun Xiao previously countered Canglong Dragon Might, she understood that mere dragon might wouldn’t deal with this lad.

Xue Qi’s biggest advantage against Yun Xiao was not some clever trick but her Meridian Qi Cultivation at Holy Rank Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage; now using the Poison Meridian Skill was undoubtedly overwhelming.

What Xue Qi didn’t know was that if she simply relied on Meridian Qi to overpower, she might have seen some effect, but her insistence on using Poison Meridian Skill turned out to be a case of gilding the lily.

Yun Xiao’s Peak Meridian Qi in the Heavenly Realm was one Great Realm lower than Xue Qi’s, but their Soul Power was almost comparable, and his Poison Meridian Skill surpassed Xue Qi’s by miles.

Even though both were Half-step Holy Rank Meridian Refining Masters, Yun Xiao’s past experience with Poison Veins made this an excellent opportunity for him.

If it came to a direct clash of Meridian Qi, Yun Xiao might have been able to hold his ground in the end, but without Little Five’s help, achieving victory in battle was absolutely impossible.

Xue Qi, in her misguided cleverness, used the Poison Meridian Skill combined with Meridian Qi attacks against him, giving Yun Xiao an incredible chance—a chance to avenge his mother and sister.

Even if Shang Li and Yun Wei might not be dead, Yun Xiao already regarded Xue Qi as his great enemy. Failing to avenge such a deep hatred would significantly affect his future Dao Heart in cultivation.

Moreover, Xue Qi had joined the Emperor Canglong Palace, mixing past and present grudges, leaving Yun Xiao with no reason to spare her. Now, with the opportunity right in front of him, he could hardly let it slip by.

"It’s over!"

Xue Qi obviously couldn’t have such extensive thoughts. Seeing the Canglong formed by the Highly Poisonous Meridian Qi had taken shape, she uttered a deep shout, and immediately that Canglong charged angrily towards Yun Xiao.

"Roar!"

However, at that moment, a dragon roar erupted from before Yun Xiao, and this dragon roar contained an inexplicable Dragon Power, compelling the spectators to lower their heads and kneel.

At some unknown time, a colossal figure appeared before Yun Xiao.

It resembled a Divine Dragon, but its dragon body was of ice and fire colors, with five claws of different colors, particularly with two huge Silver Light Thunder Wings on its back.

Clearly, upon seeing Xue Qi use the Canglong Pulse Skill, Yun Xiao immediately unleashed the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, a Meridian Technique of his that had helped him defeat many stronger enemies.

This was formed by Yun Xiao’s Five Elements Ancestor Veins, coupled with two Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins, and after Yun Xiao activated two Soul Ancestor Veins, this Thunder Winged Giant Dragon seemed to possess a special Spiritual Wisdom.

Faced with a pseudo Canglong that seemed like a mere worm daring to attack it, the highly proud Divine Dragon was instantly provoked by its majesty being challenged.

Although this Thunder Winged Giant Dragon was not a true Divine Dragon like Little Five, Yun Xiao’s unique bloodline, with the Nine Dragon Blood Jade, made even Little Five unsure of what kind of bloodline he really had.

And this Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, formed by Yun Xiao’s eleven Ancestor Veins, presented to the crowd an overwhelming Dragon Power. If it were to engage in a frontal clash with Xue Qi’s Canglong, who would emerge as the winner?

Under the control of their respective masters, the two Meridian Qi giant dragons finally collided fiercely, but no one noticed the faint smile on the lips of the coarse-clothed boy at the moment of their impact.

This time, Yun Xiao’s Thunder Winged Giant Dragon did not only incorporate the power of eleven major Ancestor Veins but also discreetly utilized the Poison Meridian Skill, with a touch of his own acting skills added.

Initially, the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon seemed not to fall behind at all, but as time passed, about ten breaths later, the Canglong formed by the Highly Poisonous Meridian Qi of Xue Qi undeniably surged in power, quickly gaining the upper hand.

"Yun Xiao, I told you, as long as you haven’t reached the Hua Xuan Realm, you can never change today’s outcome."

With a direct perception of the situation, Xue Qi was undoubtedly full of confidence at this moment. Her voice let everyone know some implicit results of the two dragons’ battle, provoking quite some reflection.

"To clash head-on at the Peak of Heavenly Realm against the Early Stage of Hua Xuan Realm, it seems indeed overly ambitious!"

This white-haired elder Meridian Refining Master, whether as a lament or regret, voiced his opinion, causing those around him to nod slightly, all in agreement.

Yet, on the other hand, these people felt a sense of admiration for Yun Xiao. If it had been an ordinary Peak Heavenly Realm cultivator, wouldn’t they have been killed by Xue Qi’s few moves already?

And that coarse-clothed boy, who not only held his ground for so long but also defused Xue Qi’s formidable attacks twice with ease, such abilities nearly made him an invincible presence within the Peak of Heavenly Realm tier.

Unfortunately, the gap in Meridian Qi between them was ultimately unbridgeable. In this confrontation of Meridian Techniques, the fate of that Lower Ranker boy at the Peak of Heavenly Realm was almost predictable.
