Chapter 1843: Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array

No matter how dazzling Yun Xiao’s earlier performance was, or how tragically those two Emperor Palace Elders died, a firm notion remained in the hearts of the remaining Elders of the Emperor Palace.

That notion was as long as Master Steward Fan Yulin of the Emperor Palace Headquarters took action, the coarse-clothed boy would be easily captured; whether at the Heavenly Realm Peak or Half-step Holy Rank, he couldn’t possibly be a match for an Early Stage Expert in the Hua Xuan Realm.

The initial battle indeed seemed that way, as Yun Xiao, despite utilizing the same Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Technique, Jade Light Saint Finger, was no match for Fan Yulin’s Sky Flipping Palm and was blasted away within a few breaths.

But now, when Yun Xiao invoked the Ancestor Vein Power, elevating his Meridian Qi to the level of a Half-step Holy Rank, the tide of the battle was reversed, and he eerily suppressed Fan Yulin.

Everyone could see that Yun Xiao likely had remarkable physical strength, bringing about such a formidable effect. However, for a human cultivator to possess physical strength to such a degree was entirely unheard of.

"Even a Vein Demon entering the Holy Vein Three Realms might not have such physical strength, right?"

An Elder from the Emperor Palace sighed with a tone full of intense concern. Upon hearing his words, all the observing Elders nodded in unanimous agreement.

Vein Demons reaching the Holy Vein Three Realms could be called Holy Demons, capable of undergoing the Transforming Heaven Tribulation and assuming human form; their subsequent cultivation speed would no longer differ from human cultivators.

If the opponent of Fan Yulin were a Holy Demon at the Hua Xuan Realm level, these Emperor Palace Elders would not be so astounded, but clearly, this was a genuine human youth—how could he possess such formidable physical prowess?

But facing reality, the Elders of the Emperor Palace had no choice but to believe. Witnessing Fan Yulin gradually falling to a disadvantage, their eyes flickered, and some were already seeking escape routes.

Once Fan Yulin is defeated, these Emperor Palace Elders are likely to face total destruction, and just that Supervisor Yu Baicang alone couldn’t stop that coarse-clothed youth Yun Xiao with his terrifying physique.

Never mind that Yu Baicang, at this moment, had already suppressed the already internally injured Situ Nan to a point of no resistance, but once Yun Xiao is free, the situation will be completely different.

"No! I’m unwilling!"

Feeling increasingly suppressed and at a disadvantage, Fan Yulin let out an angry roar, but such a roar had no deterrence whatsoever for Yun Xiao.

Since the gap between them had been closed, Yun Xiao, with his physically powerful body, had already compensated for the difference in their Meridian Qi Cultivation. He was confident that within a hundred moves, he could bring Fan Yulin down with a palm strike.

Boom!

However, just as Yun Xiao was filled with confidence, an immensely majestic aura suddenly erupted from Fan Yulin, and simultaneously, Yun Xiao’s kick seemed to have struck an alien object.

"That’s..."

The many cultivators from the Emperor Palace watching widened their eyes at this moment because they clearly saw a small white dragon rise from Fan Yulin’s body, appearing rather mystical.

"Is that... the Emperor Dragon Pill?"

Compared to the observing cultivators from the Emperor Palace, Yun Xiao’s knowledge was undoubtedly broader. Just seeing that small white dragon, he already knew what it was.

The Emperor Dragon Pill, made from Canglong Dragon Qi of the Emperor Canglong Palace as the main material, was refined by Meridian Refining Masters at the Holy Rank level into a special elixir.

This elixir does not enhance a cultivator’s Meridian Qi Cultivation but can be used to save one’s life at critical moments, just like how the Second House Master of the Wang Family, Wang Yinglong, offered the Emperor Dragon Pill in his dying moments.

Unfortunately, even then, Wang Yinglong, although using the Emperor Dragon Pill to block a strike, ultimately could not escape the fate of perishing, still meeting his end.

The Emperor Dragon Pill that Fan Yulin now offered was far more potent than Wang Yinglong’s, and his purpose in using the pill at this time was not to save his life but rather to gain distance from Yun Xiao using the power of the pill.

Once the hint of Canglong Qi within the Emperor Dragon Pill surged forth, Yun Xiao was indeed instantly repelled. No matter what, with his current power, he still couldn’t easily contend with the full burst of the Emperor Dragon Pill.

Fortunately, the Emperor Dragon Pill wasn’t highly aggressive and mostly protected its owner from harm. Yet, with this, Fan Yulin and Yun Xiao instantly drew a significant distance between them.

Having anticipated this earlier, Fan Yulin, upon gaining distance, slightly moved his body and swiftly retreated several more tens of feet, a look of excitement already emerging on his face.

"This time, I won’t let you get close again!"

This was Fan Yulin’s true thought. After the close combat just now, he was genuinely apprehensive about Yun Xiao’s physical strength. He swore he wouldn’t engage in close combat with that demonic boy again; such physical strength was simply not something a normal human should possess.

"Yun Xiao, to force me to use this move, is something you can be proud of!"

Seemingly sensing a hint of threat from that ragged boy, Fan Yulin let out a deep voice, indicating he was not planning to hold back.

Even Fan Yulin didn’t expect that he would have to unleash his strongest attack against an ant-like kid who had only elevated his Meridian Qi to a Half-step Holy Rank by relying on Ancestor Vein Power. To him, it was quite humiliating.

But having realized that Yun Xiao’s abilities were astonishing, Fan Yulin even suspected that the boy hadn’t exerted his full power. Even under such circumstances, he could suppress Fan Yulin. If he didn’t unleash some powerful techniques, he might truly suffer a setback.

Compared to losing to Yun Xiao, merely using his strongest move was nothing. At this moment, Fan Yulin made this decision without the slightest hesitation, determined to defeat and capture that boy.

"Oh? You have more tricks?"

Yun Xiao, who was propelled back dozens of meters by the Emperor Dragon Qi, did not attempt to close in again at this time. He knew someone who had suffered once, like Fan Yulin, would not easily let him get close again.

"Originally, I didn’t plan to use this move, but since you’ve come to me willingly, taste the power of the ’Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array’!"

Having decided to use that technique, Fan Yulin wasn’t going to be secretive. After his words fell, the many Emperor Palace Elders watching seemed to realize something, and hurriedly left the courtyard.

"Who would have thought the Master Steward set up the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array for three days and nights, only to use it on Yun Xiao!"

The grey-haired Emperor Palace Elder spoke with great emotion, for as a powerful elder of the Emperor Palace, he clearly knew how much preparation the Master Steward and Lord Supervisor had invested to capture that Emperor Palace Hunter.

The Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array originally prepared for Situ Nan was now being used against Yun Xiao, as Fan Yulin said, the young boy indeed had reason to be proud.

"Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array?"

Suddenly hearing this name, Yun Xiao was initially a bit stunned, but then memories from his past life surged like a tide into his mind, causing his eyes to flash with a playful light instantly.

Because compared to Fan Yulin’s unknown Sky Flipping Palm Technique, Yun Xiao was very familiar with the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array; it was even created by the Long Xiao Battle God himself in his past life.

It should be known that in his past life, the Long Xiao Battle God was a genuine Holy Rank Peak Array Master, who had studied various strange arrays on the Continent.

Moreover, don’t forget, Yun Xiao was also a top-tier Meridian Refining Master; the meridian arrays used by a Meridian Refining Master were an extension of Array Formation, with many commonalties.

It was by leveraging these commonalities that Yun Xiao managed to research this Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, which didn’t target the body of human cultivators but rather their soul.

As long as a human cultivator was trapped in the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, it wouldn’t take long before their mind became confused, leaving them at the mercy of the array master. In the heart of the Long Xiao Battle God from his past life, this was considered a rather special array.

After creating the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, the Long Xiao Battle God didn’t keep it to himself, so the number of cultivators who mastered this array within the Emperor Canglong Palace wasn’t small, and Fan Yulin was obviously one of them.

Fan Yulin was not a Meridian Refining Master, but a Heaven Rank Advanced Array Master. To ensure success, he spent three full days arranging a Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array within this courtyard, originally to capture Situ Nan, the Emperor Palace Hunter.

If it were just to deal with Situ Nan, this Half-step Holy Rank Emperor Palace Hunter, perhaps Fan Yulin wouldn’t need to use the so-called Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, but now he has no other options.

On official or personal grounds, Fan Yulin couldn’t let Yun Xiao leave, not to mention even if he had the heart, the boy probably wouldn’t leave either. With this situation, using the trump card became the only choice.

Array Formation isn’t the mainstream of battle on the Continent; after all, in battles, how could opponents give you the time to leisurely set up arrays? When arranging arrays, not a single moment can be distracted.

Generally speaking, many powerful large arrays are pre-arranged in advance, such as some Clan Protection Arrays and Sect Protection Arrays; when enemies launch an invasion, they can exert extremely formidable power.

At this moment, the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array arranged by Fan Yulin is like this. Even though it’s just a Heaven Rank Advanced array, under his management as an Early Stage Hua Xuan Realm expert, it is absolutely an unparalleled boost to his combat strength.
