Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Yet, despite such a disparity, Xue Gong was still dealt with by Yun Xiao. And judging by the latter’s state, it seemed he had hardly exerted his full strength, still having energy to spare.

Especially the Poison Vein lineage’s Bi Luo, who had advanced to the third round, the green glint in his eyes flickering, as if he had encountered a powerful foe besides Yue Qi and Mo Qing. He was now uncertain about the battle in the upcoming third round.

”Xue Gong brother, for the sake of Great Elder and Sister Mo Qing, I will spare your life today. You should admit defeat yourself!”

Above the arena, Yun Xiao paid no attention to the thoughts of those around him, and as he coldly spoke out, these few words seemed to even make Xue Gong forget the intense pain on his back.

In fact, Xue Gong’s pain was not just confined to his back—the slap he had just received was even more difficult for him to accept. He was the respected second senior brother of the Medical Pulse Lineage, and among the younger generation, even Yue Qi and Mo Qing had to give him some face. Today, however, he was literally slapped in the face.

If Yun Xiao had really killed him, that would have been the end of it. Yet, this youngster, after his victory, didn’t attack further. He wanted Xue Gong to admit defeat himself, which was essentially rubbing salt in his wound.

What Xue Gong didn’t know was that what Yun Xiao found most objectionable about him was precisely this aloof, overly hypocritical facade. He intended to crush this fake senior brother’s pride underfoot in such a manner that Xue Gong would never dare to oppose him again.

”Heh heh, if senior brother you do not admit defeat, then don’t blame me for not giving the Great Elder any face!”

Seeing Xue Gong gasping for breath and remaining silent for a long time, Yun Xiao let out a cold chuckle, and on his hand, a faint trace of Meridian Qi began to emerge, sending a chill through Xue Gong’s heart.

After yesterday’s event, Xue Gong was no longer under the illusion that Yun Xiao was the merciful sort. The ruthless slap that killed Yin Huan, without any hesitation even though his teacher was the Second Elder Fu Du, demonstrated his decisiveness.

”I... concede!”

After much inner turmoil, Xue Gong ultimately bowed his head in defeat. After all, it’s better to retreat and preserve one’s life for future opportunities than to lose one’s life and talk of revenge and retribution.

How pitiable for the second senior brother from the Medical Pulse Lineage, who had aspirations of vying for the top three spots and securing a place at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference. Yet, unexpectedly, he faltered in the second round at the hands of a youth no one had considered.

In fact, it was not only Xue Gong who had not anticipated this—many disciples from both the Outer and Inner Sects were also taken aback, as were figures such as Yu Shu and Lu Zhan seated in the northern stands.

To be honest, Yun Xiao had only been with the Jade Pot Sect for just over a year, but what he had done in this short period was nothing short of astonishing.

He joined the Outer Sect and in just three months during the Outer Sect Tournament, he defeated the top two talents on the Mortal List, which allowed him to directly advance into the Inner Sect. And now, during this Spiritual Chick Battle List, he defeated Xue Gong to advance into the third round.

While it was unknown how far Yun Xiao could go in the Spiritual Chick Battle List this time, at the very least, as a newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple, defeating Xue Gong who was ranked third on the Spiritual Chick List was indeed something to be proud of.

Moreover, after glancing at Yun Xiao’s opponent for the next day, everyone felt a strange sensation because the second senior brother of the Poison Vein Lineage, Bi Luo, was ranked even lower than Xue Gong on the Spiritual Chick List.

Since Yun Xiao defeated Xue Gong so effortlessly, couldn’t he easily overcome Bi Luo in the battle tomorrow? If so, he would enter the top two spots of this Spiritual Chick Battle List.

That is a slot at the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, and everyone thought oddly that perhaps this was the first time in the history of the Hidden Dragon Conference that a talent of the Meridian Rushing Realm would participate?
