"Yun Xiao, the price I’ve paid will be compensated by you!"
Having broken through to the ridian Gathering Realm, Shang Huiyu’s face was covered in blood vessels, even his teeth stained with a touch of bright red blood, his gaze fierce as he stared intently at Yun Xiao, the words seeming to squeeze out from between his teeth.
The price Shang Huiyu had paid this ti was indeed not small, but such a price also brought him imnse returns. Just like his ancestors, he believed that as long as he could defeat Yun Xiao and enter the Jade Pot Sect, with the techniques of the high-level ridian Refining Masters of the Sect, he would certainly be restored to his original state.
At this mont, in Shang Huiyu’s eyes, there was only Yun Xiao. He knew exactly who had forced him to take this step, and now that he had reached the early ridian Gathering Realm, surely nothing could go wrong now?
Whether it was Shang Huiyu himself, or Shang Yan and Shang Ying, or even those low-ranked mbers of the Shang Family, at this mont none believed that this young master of the Shang Family could possibly lose.
If previously Yun Xiao, with his Channel Introduction Realm Middle Stage cultivation, contended against even the Late Stage or Peak of the ridian Introduction Realm was a miracle, now it seed that even this miracle was unlikely to occur.
No matter how defying Yun Xiao’s performance was, no matter how eye-catching, there was a limit under such a vast disparity in strength.
If it were really possible to fight across such levels and ranks, then why would they bother to laboriously cultivate ridian Qi? The gap between great ranks was not so easily bridged.
This could be seen from the slightly solemn expression on Yun Xiao’s face; everyone knew that in the next strike from Shang Huiyu, this young boy who had just made a na in the Shang Family would et his tragic end.
Because he had taken the Blood Erosion Pill, Shang Huiyu, to avoid too much of his blood being eroded by the elixir, would certainly make a quick decision—under these circumstances, he would not engage Yun Xiao in a prolonged fight for three hundred rounds.
"Black Gold Palm!"
Indeed, Shang Huiyu’s first move was the low-level Spirit Rank ridian Technique, Black Gold Palm. At this mont, the power of this formidable ridian Technique, when he unleashed it, was incomparably greater than before.
Indeed, it was only those Cultivators who had reached the ridian Gathering Realm who could refine the Black Gold Palm to minor completion. At this mont, Shang Huiyu had clearly achieved this, and thus the power of this ridian Technique surged to more than double its strength.
With hands transford into the color of black gold, Shang Huiyu’s face was filled with fierce murderous intent; this boy who had driven him to such a state, must not be allowed to leave the ring alive today.
"It seems I must reveal so hidden secrets!"
At this ti, feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from Shang Huiyu, Yun Xiao had run out of options. Originally wanting to keep his trump cards hidden, he knew that if he did not give his all now, he might be the one to suffer injuries next.
As Shang Yan and others had thought, the clever tricks or formidable ridian Techniques previously displayed by Yun Xiao all required the support of ridian Qi. When such a disparity reached its limits, all tactics would be futile.
Seeing Shang Huiyu closing in, Yun Xiao quickly made up his mind, not hesitating any longer. He gently stretched out his right arm, and then the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique began to operate, and an unusual fluctuation had already enveloped him.
Boom!
In just an instant, Yun Xiao’s ridian Qi Cultivation had broken through from the ridian Introduction Realm Middle Stage directly to the Late Stage. This scene was utterly incredible in the eyes of all the mbers of the Shang Family.
Compared to these mbers of the Shang Family, Shang Li and Yun Wei, who had long known Yun Xiao’s details, their eyes were filled with excitent at this mont; they knew that Yun Xiao was finally about to reveal all his strength.
Earlier, Shang Huiyu’s techniques were myriad, having even broken through to the early ridian Gathering Realm. In truth, Shang Li and Yun Wei were not too worried, for while this young master of the Shang Family had techniques, Yun Xiao still had cards up his sleeve, and now that he had played them, it was still uncertain whose hands the victory would end up in.
But while Shang Li and her daughter felt excited here in the northern seats, the Shang Family head Shang Yan, along with the high-level ridian Refining Master Yan Cheng beside him, upon seeing a flash of blood-red light from Yun Xiao’s wrist and back of his hand, leaped up from their seats like cats whose tails had been stepped on.
"That... that is..."
Shang Yan stared intensely at Yun Xiao’s stretched-out right arm, or more specifically at an extrely obvious fine line of blood-red color on the back of his hand, he already guessed a possibility in his heart, but it was a possibility he was unwilling to accept no matter what.
"Good lad, indeed it’s the Ancestor Vein!"
Though Shang Yan was unwilling to believe that fact in his heart, Yan Cheng, beside him, did not have so many thoughts and, possessing a soul power several tis greater than Shang Yan’s, imdiately shouted in affirmation after a careful sensing.
"What? Impossible, this kid Yun Xiao couldn’t possibly possess the Ancestor Vein!"
Yan Cheng’s words triggered a huge change in Shang Ying’s expression, and his furious roar was filled with intense unwillingness. Despite claiming "this is impossible", deep down, he was already 90% convinced.
In Shang Ying’s view, Shang Huiyu was his own grandson, with the purest blood of the Shang Family flowing in him. It was only natural for such a genius to activate the Ancestor Vein.
But what was Yun Xiao? How could he be worthy of activating the Ancestor Vein, a bastard child whose father was unknown? How could his talent possibly surpass that of Shang Huiyu?
This was the profound sense of injustice in Shang Ying’s heart, but regardless, the blood-red Ancestor Vein in Yun Xiao was becoming clearer, and the aura around him was increasingly bizarre, signaling the activation of the Ancestor Vein.
If it was not the Ancestor Vein, without using any secret techniques to boost his strength, nor consuming domineering elixirs like the Blood Erosion Pill, why would Yun Xiao suddenly break through from ridian Introduction Realm Middle Stage to Late Stage?
The shouting from Shang Ying was unguarded and audible not only to the powerful mbers of the Shang Family by his side but also to the young talents and family mbers under the arena.
At this mont, a figure in white trembled violently, as intense jealousy surged from the depths of Xue Qi’s heart, impossible to dispel.
"Why? Why is his luck so good, and I have achieved nothing?"
The profound unwillingness in Xue Qi’s heart led to an internal roar, perhaps because she had grown up with Yun Xiao and only today discovered that this always timid boy had such an unknown side.
In fact, a peculiar emotion ford in Xue Qi’s heart—if she had known earlier about Yun Xiao’s high talent and his activation of the Ancestor Vein, why would she choose betrayal?
Jealousy in won could be maddening, and the mix of emotions in Xue Qi’s heart made her hate for Yun Xiao and his family even more intense.
On the arena!
Shang Huiyu, who was violently attacking Yun Xiao, also sensed the surge in the latter’s ridian Qi and heard his grandfather’s loud shout.
Especially when he saw the blood-red thin line on the back of Yun Xiao’s hand, extending from the fingertip of his middle finger to the wrist and disappearing, Shang Huiyu felt no less aggrieved than his grandfather.
The Ancestor Vein activated by Shang Huiyu was only three inches long, a re Mortal Rank Ancestor Vein, perhaps not even reaching the Mortal Rank Middle Level; indeed, it was the lowest level among Ancestor Veins.
But the Ancestor Vein in Yun Xiao, visible from the beginning but not the end, stirred intense envy and jealousy in Shang Huiyu’s heart. He was the most brilliant talent in the Shang Family, so why did such an Ancestor Vein appear not on him but on a despicable bastard?
"Even if you’ve activated the Ancestor Vein, you’ll still die!"
Shang Huiyu’s fierce face let out a fierce roar. In the next mont, his left and right Black Gold Palms were just a foot away from Yun Xiao’s chest.
As Shang Huiyu roared, if Yun Xiao really took these two Black Gold Palms, even though he had broken through to the ridian Introduction Realm Late Stage, he would definitely not be able to withstand it, given the objective difference still existing between them.
But Yun Xiao’s thods were not limited to this. Hearing Shang Huiyu’s words, he couldn’t help but let out a cold sneer and retorted, "Since that’s the case, let show you the true power of a real Ancestor Vein."
With the knowledge and vision of Yun Xiao’s past life as Dragon Cloud Battle God, Shang Huiyu’s three-inch long, low-level Mortal Rank Ancestor Vein couldn’t even be considered a true Ancestor Vein, and yet Shang Huiyu and those people from the Shang Family flaunted it like a unique treasure.
As Yun Xiao finished speaking, the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique accelerated dramatically, with countless ridian Qi Energy pouring into the Ancestor Vein in his right arm. At the sa ti, the blood-red crescent mark in the palm of his right hand glowed brightly.
A heat sweeping across like a breeze seed to have no effect on the sowhat irrational Shang Huiyu. His only thought was to annihilate this contemptible ant of a boy to eradicate future troubles.
But next mont, as Shang Huiyu’s left palm almost cut into Yun Xiao’s chest, he felt an unusual heat spreading in his palm, and then he saw a slender finger pointing right at the center of his left hand, the source of this burning heat.
Unfortunately, Shang Huiyu had no ti to think further. As the powerful fire attribute from Yun Xiao’s right middle finger’s Ancestor Vein erupted, what had just been a warm sensation turned his left palm into a blaze of blood-red flas.
The entire left hand was enveloped in blood-red flas, and this fla from Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Vein seed to possess an extrely strong adhesiveness, making it impossible for Shang Huiyu to shake it off.
The excruciating pain made Shang Huiyu let out a harrowing scream, sounding even more agonizing than when he had earlier taken the Blood Erosion Pill.
