Chapter 1900: Kid, How Dare You!

Bang!

All the geniuses watching the Xuanyuan Platform heard a loud noise, as the massive dragon head collided with the Ice Cloud Shield summoned by Mo Han, seemingly shattering the space where it struck.

Just as everyone was speculating whether the Ice Cloud Shield could withstand the blow from the Giant Dragon, within a single breath, their dilemma was resolved as reality gave them a clear answer.

Crack!

The sound of something breaking reached everyone’s ears, and those with keen sight became alert, for they had seen visible cracks crawling across the Ice Cloud Shield.

“It didn’t even last for a single breath?”

Lu Zhanbai, the Third Young Master of Lu Family, who knew some of the defensive power of the Ice Cloud Shield, turned pale and unsightly, as he had believed the shield could definitely hold against the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon.

It wasn’t just Mo Han’s own Meridian Qi condensed within; there was also a trace of Cold Netherworld Energy freezing the air into ice, utilizing the cloud’s soft unloading principle. Ordinary attacks couldn’t even scratch the shield.

Yet the previously unseen Thunder Winged Giant Dragon shattered the shield with a single collision, its power clearly beyond the defensive range of the Ice Cloud Shield.

“Shatter!”

A cold voice echoed from the white-robed young man on the Xuanyuan Platform, sounding far more elegant than Mo Han’s prior roar, and achieving an entirely different effect.

Crash!

As if verifying Yun Xiao’s cold words, when he finished speaking, the last barrier before Mo Han, the Ice Cloud Shield, burst apart, turning into countless energy fragments, and dissipated into the air.

The Thunder Winged Giant Dragon did not pause for the dissolution of the Ice Cloud Shield, instead roaring angrily again, and fiercely collided with Mo Han’s chest.

This time, Mo Han had no defensive measures; if he weren’t a genius at Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage, he might have perished in this collision.

Even with Meridian Qi protecting him, the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon’s strike gravely injured Mo Han, causing him to cough up a mouthful of bright red blood as he flew back, his breath feeble.

Mo Han’s spitting of blood was not the minor backlash from Meridian Techniques earlier; his Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs sustained severe shock, leading to the blood spewing.

At this moment, Mo Han, even if he retained life, utterly lost his combat ability, his dim eyes filled with extreme resentment, the greatest humiliation in his life.

Except for losing to a few senior brothers ranked higher in Dragon Academy, Mo Han was almost one of the top geniuses of the young generation.

Furthermore, being from Dragon Academy, even when facing stronger opponents on missions, people would respect his background.

But this fellow named Yun Xing had no respect for Mo Han’s Emperor Canglong Palace genius status, mercilessly injuring him heavily.

Mo Han believed he would have died if not for his strong fate; Yun Xing showed no mercy.

Roar!

While stabilizing his stance and sensing a surge of blood energy within, Mo Han heard a familiar dragon roar, making his pale expression change dramatically.

“Not good, he wants my life!”

Mo Han wasn’t dumb; upon hearing the roar, he saw the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon that injured him, charging at him again.

At this moment, Mo Han had no ability to retaliate; barely standing at the edge of Xuanyuan Platform, he had no strength left.

Under such circumstances, another hit from the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon would likely mean death, this fifth genius of Dragon Academy perhaps dying so mysteriously on Xuanyuan Platform.

Observers felt different now, believing the white-robed young Yun Xing had no scruples, likely showing no fear of Mo Han’s Emperor Canglong Palace background.

“This really is self-inflicted misfortune!”

Wu Jiantong, who had long been displeased with Mo Han’s arrogance, said with a gleam in his eye, insincerely, and many who heard agreed with a nod.

Originally Yun Xiao won the golden banner and was the first to step onto the Xuanyuan Platform, thus marking the end of this Xuanyuan Platform Meeting. Yet Mo Han, who prides himself as a genius of the Emperor Canglong Palace, was extremely unwilling, disregarding the rules of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting, and forcibly attacked Yun Xiao.

If Mo Han had won in the end, it would be fine. Everyone present, even Wu Jiantong from the Holy Doctor Alliance, would hardly say anything. But the development of the situation was very different from what everyone imagined.

A Yun Xing, initially only at the Half-step Holy Rank, reached Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage cultivation by unleashing the Ancestor Vein Power, displaying unexpectedly strong combat power.

No matter what means Mo Han used, Yun Xing could easily resolve it, while the attacks he launched were exceptionally bizarre, whether it was the Five Elements Decomposition Power or the current Giant Dragon, it made people see him in a new light.

Moreover, at this moment, with a strike from the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, Mo Han suffered severe injuries. Seeing that another strike was imminent, perhaps this fifth genius of the Dragon Academy would truly meet his end on the Xuanyuan Platform.

No matter the consequences after Yun Xiao kills Mo Han, at least this palace genius cannot see them. One wonders if deep in his heart at this moment, he might feel even a slight regret?

The Thunder Winged Giant Dragon came extremely fast, and no one believed Mo Han had any chance to turn the situation around. Seeing such a notable genius from the Emperor Canglong Palace about to die, for some reason, their hearts harbored a subtle pleasure.

Perhaps it’s because the actions of the Emperor Canglong Palace have been too domineering in recent years, leading these palace geniuses to also be quite arrogant. This is clear from Mo Han not accepting his loss and still wanting to kill Yun Xiao.

“Boy, dare you!”

Just when everyone believed that the next moment Mo Han would be killed by being smashed to pieces by the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, a somewhat familiar old voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to be stirred in their hearts.

Whoosh!

As the sound barely swept across the sky, a wind-breaking sound already echoed on the Xuanyuan Platform. In the gaze of the crowd, the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon’s head failed to hit Mo Han’s body a second time.

Because the owner of the wind-breaking sound evidently used an extremely fast speed to pull Mo Han away from the mortal danger. This speed and accuracy were breathtaking.

“It’s Hou Weiliang, the Guardian of Xuanyuan Platform!”

Among them, one person was sharp-eyed or perhaps instinctively aware, even though the figure of the one who saved Mo Han hadn’t been clearly seen, he subconsciously exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s gaze finally shifted to where two figures stood, one was Mo Han, and the other, who else could it be but Hou Weiliang, the Guardian who had been observing the battle below?

“Looks like Hou Weiliang was prepared all along, otherwise how could he appear so timely?”

Wu Jiantong’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light. Upon hearing his words, Ouyang Yi and Duan Wuwei beside him both agreed deeply, but their expressions were not very pleasant.

After all, Hou Weiliang was sent by the Emperor Canglong Palace. Saving Mo Han at this time is understandable, but whether something bizarre will happen again, they truly don’t know.

Given the domineering actions of the Emperor Canglong Palace over the years, having suffered such a blow, it doesn’t make sense not to reclaim their face. Now it depends on whether Hou Weiliang will obey the rules of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting.

At this moment, when the minds of all were preoccupied with different thoughts, Hou Weiliang, who timely rescued Mo Han, naturally was not in a good mood, even somewhat irritated, because it was the opposite of what he expected.

Originally thought that with Mo Han’s Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage cultivation, coming from Dragon Academy, no one in the field could truly challenge him.

If so, Mo Han would win the champion of this Xuanyuan Platform Meeting, satisfying both sides, maintaining the prestige of the Emperor Canglong Palace and not disrupting the rules of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting, a win-win scenario.

Who could have expected a fellow named Yun Xing to suddenly emerge, ultimately winning the golden banner and being the first to ascend the Xuanyuan Platform, making all Hou Weiliang’s calculations futile?

And Hou Weiliang being from the Emperor Canglong Palace naturally prioritized palace interests. Thus, he turned a blind eye when Mo Han attacked Yun Xiao for the second time.

Since Hou Weiliang knew, if Mo Han could truly kill Yun Xing on the Xuanyuan Platform, probably no one would dare say anything. This was the deterrence power of the Emperor Canglong Palace.

Yet what happened next was completely contrary to Hou Weiliang’s expectations. The Dragon Academy’s fifth genius Mo Han of Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage was shockingly defeated by Yun Xing, who reached Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage only by relying on the Ancestor Vein Power.

Moreover, this wasn’t all; Yun Xing seemed undeterred by Mo Han’s identity, directly intending to take advantage of his illness and end his life. Watching Mo Han’s life hang by a thread, Hou Weiliang couldn’t help but intervene to rescue.

In fact, the moment Mo Han was severely injured by the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, Hou Weiliang had already charged forward, finally succeeding in saving his life before the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon struck Mo Han again.

Since the Guardian had appeared on the Xuanyuan Platform, Yun Xiao didn’t take any further actions at this moment. However, the palace genius, due to the venomous resentment in his heart, was erupting at this very instant.
