Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

At this moment, Yun Xiao naturally wouldn’t hold back intentionally. The lake surface was full of strange spirits, and any delay might lead to being caught by the low-rank ninth-grade alien spirit leader behind him. By then, it would be too late to escape.

Yun Xiao also knew that even a low-rank ninth-grade alien spirit couldn’t fly. Now that he had summoned his Thunder Wings, that low-rank ninth-grade alien spirit leader could only look in envy, right?

Although this meant that his possession of ”Flying Meridian Techniques” might spread across the entire Tenglong Continent, he couldn’t afford to worry about that now at such a crucial moment.

Just as Yun Xiao flew over the lake, about to pass those low-ranked strange spirits to reunite with Xu Hongzhuang, Ling Wan, and others, the lake surface suddenly underwent some abnormal changes.

In one part of the lake, large clusters of water bubbles appeared, causing the low-rank water attribute strange spirits gathered there to explode suddenly, as if they had been subjected to some extremely powerful attack.

Splish! Splash!

The exploding water attribute strange spirits dropped Spirit Crystals into the lake, giving the human geniuses who had escaped to the opposite shore a clearer view, though they had yet to realize the impending danger.

”Go! Quick, go!”

Flying in the sky, Yun Xiao felt a strong sense of warning in his heart. Suddenly thinking of something, his face changed dramatically, and he shouted loudly. Xu Hongzhuang, Ling Wan, and the others, who had great trust in him, detected the urgency in his tone, causing their expressions to shift as they hurriedly ran toward the exit.

Behind them, Ye Ku, Luo Fusheng, and others followed quickly. However, aside from these geniuses who had faith in Yun Xiao, some others still wanted to see the excitement.

These geniuses thought that since they had already escaped the danger zone of Lake Heart Island and the many strange spirits seemed to have lost interest in attacking for the moment, it might be better to watch the situation unfold first.

But in the next moment, these geniuses knew how foolish their decision was, and it left them with extreme regret in their final moments.

Splish!

Another splash sounded, and this time it wasn’t the sound of the water attribute strange spirits exploding. Instead, a massive water column suddenly rose from the place where the bubbles had been before.

This water column was not shooting straight up but waved around like a giant Vein Demon’s tentacle above the lake. Finally, from an extremely tricky angle, it lashed hard onto Yun Xiao above.

Even with Yun Xiao’s reflexes, there was no time to make any move at that moment. Fortunately, he summoned the Earth Burst Stone Lotus Armor instantly, which prevented him from sustaining severe injuries from this sudden attack.

However, the strength of this force was enormous. Even though Yun Xiao’s physical strength was just a step away from breaking through to the level of ninth-grade Vein Demon, he was still sent flying backward and crashed hard onto the ground of Lake Heart Island with a loud noise.

”What is that?”

When everyone saw this scene, their faces turned pale with horror. The geniuses still watching from the inner perimeter seemed to understand what Yun Xiao’s earlier shout was all about and began to move their steps, planning to exit this extremely dangerous area.

However, it was already too late. The giant water column tentacle that had dragged Yun Xiao back to Lake Heart Island swept horizontally in the next moment, targeting the opposite shore of Lake Heart Island. Some geniuses near the shore met with tragedy instantly.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

A series of sounds spread out, as the massive water column tentacle attacked indiscriminately, striking over a dozen human geniuses. These geniuses didn’t have Yun Xiao’s reaction speed or his powerful physical strength.

So under such a forceful sweep, over a dozen geniuses immediately suffered broken bones and died, marking the first large-scale casualties since entering the seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave.

Even under the siege of countless strange spirit armies earlier, everyone could barely protect themselves. Who knew that just as they were about to escape the danger zone, a sudden water column emerging from the lake could cause them such significant losses?

”Run!”
