It was obvious that at this moment, what Yun Xiao unleashed was that Unrivaled Dragon Taming Flying Concealment, the first move of the Dragon Taming Nine Swords, and the effect it produced left him extremely satisfied.

To be honest, after this Dragon Taming Flying Concealment had achieved countless merits, it was already not that easy to injure those Heavenly Rank Experts anymore; only under some specific circumstances could it still have some effect.

But the Wuyan Palace Great Elder before him, who was only at the Floating Life Realm Middle Stage, was clearly not among them, and coupled with the fact that he had already been frightened out of his wits by Yun Xiao and only wanted to capture Guan Rufeng as a hostage, he thus fell into the trap; it could be said to be only natural.

"Not good!"

When this Wuyan Palace Great Elder felt a burst of sharp pain in the center of his right palm, he knew he had ultimately fallen into Yun Xiao’s scheme, and immediately cried out "not good" inwardly.

As the Great Elder of Wuyan Palace, this man had naturally studied Yun Xiao before; at this moment, his reaction was not considered slow—he knew that must be Yun Xiao’s Dragon Taming Sword.

Unfortunately, knowing it was the Dragon Taming Sword was one thing; wanting to escape with his life was another. Under Yun Xiao’s control, the Dragon Taming Sword did far more than merely pierce through this Wuyan Palace Great Elder’s right palm.

Squelch!

Another light sound rang out; the Dragon Taming Sword that had just pierced through the Wuyan Palace Great Elder’s palm shot forward with lightning speed and stabbed into his chest again, then exited through his back, bringing with it a spray of blood reeking of iron.

"I... I..."

How incomparably sharp was the Dragon Taming Sword; when the Wuyan Palace Great Elder lowered his head and saw the gush of fresh blood spurting from his chest, he knew he could no longer possibly survive.

Only at this moment, because Guan Rufeng was blocking in front of him, had the Wuyan Palace Great Elder still not seen the coarse-clothed youth who killed him; in the next instant, he lost consciousness and fell into eternal darkness.

Bang!

His powerless corpse fell from the sky onto the plaza, as if smashing into the hearts and minds of everyone present, leaving them unable to collect themselves for a moment.

Today’s situation had originally been Wuyan Palace holding the upper hand in this sect war. Qingmu Wu, Qian Sanyuan and the others fought seven against one and still lost to Wu Zhukong; for a time, everyone thought Lianyun Mountain was about to be annihilated.

Who would have thought that this youth named Yun Xiao would emerge from seclusion in a single day and, with an almost unstoppable momentum, suppress Wu Zhukong, Ice Freeze Fu Lingxue, and assassinate the Wuyan Palace Great Elder, utterly shocking everyone’s eyes.

If, for the suppression of Wu Zhukong, many people had already reacted and believed Yun Xiao had borrowed external power, then in the two battles that followed, what was displayed was Yun Xiao’s true ability.

They finally realized that the youth who, just one or two years ago, could only compete with the younger generation had already grown into one of the absolute top figures of the entire Tenglong Continent, now standing at the very pinnacle of the Continent.

"After this matter ends, we must hurry and inform my teacher so he can rewrite the Heavenly List!"

Nie Xiaosheng’s eyes shimmered with a trace of excitement. As the successor to the Shenxiao Sect’s Sect Leader, what could be more thrilling than personally witnessing an earth-shattering event?

Nie Xiaosheng believed he was witnessing the birth of a miracle. With Yun Xiao’s strength in suppressing Wu Zhukong, ranking in the top three of the Heavenly List was not impossible at all.

After all, the current second place on the Heavenly List, Xue Tianao, had his meridians completely severed and should be unable to recover; Wu Zhukong had also been forcefully suppressed by Yun Xiao. One could say that among the top three of the Heavenly List, two were already gone.

And it was precisely by stepping on the former second place of the Heavenly List that Yun Xiao ascended into the ranks of the Tenglong Continent’s top experts, even though at this moment, Yun Xiao’s Cultivation was only at the Floating Life Realm Peak.

The various rankings of Shenxiao Sect were, most of the time, based on Meridian Qi Cultivation, but there were some exceptions. After all, for a small number of people, their combat power and their cultivation level simply did not match.

At such times, an objective assessment was needed. Yun Xiao, for example, was a complete Demon who could not be judged by cultivation alone. After the battle on Impermanence Island ended, Shenxiao Sect had once quarreled furiously over Yun Xiao’s placement on the Heavenly List.

But Nie Xiaosheng believed that once this battle record was transmitted back to Shenxiao Sect, those stubborn old fellows would probably have no further objections, because Yun Xiao placing in the top three of the Heavenly List was already well deserved.

As for the top two on the Heavenly List, they were occupied by those two Heavenly Realm powerhouses in the extremely distant sky, and those two strongest men of the Tenglong Continent had yet to decide a victor even now.

"Yun Xiao Senior Brother, mighty!"

Among the Sky Poison Institute’s people, Si Mo was so excited that he jumped up, but as soon as these words left his mouth, Ye Ku beside him smacked the back of his head, leaving him and the surrounding geniuses a bit baffled.

"Senior Brother Ye Ku, why did you hit me?"

After taking Ye Ku’s slap, Si Mo’s expression was somewhat aggrieved, yet also brimming with irrepressible excitement, looking quite strange. The geniuses around them all wanted to know the answer.

"The words ’Senior Brother’ must not be used again in the future. From now on, we must respectfully address him as Vice Chairman!"

Excitement also filled Ye Bing’s eyes, but he still explained in a serious tone, and as soon as those words came out, everyone was stunned at first, then all repeatedly nodded in deep agreement.

In the past, the gap between Yun Xiao and them wasn’t that big; calling him "senior brother" was perfectly natural.

Even after Yun Xiao won the double championship of the Meridian Refining Conference and was appointed Vice President by the President, Ye Ku and the others still felt that calling him "senior brother" was more intimate.

But after today’s battle, Yun Xiao had shown all the geniuses of Lianyun Mountain a completely different Yun Xiao; even the Wuyan Palace Master Wu Zhukong could be forcefully suppressed by him, which showed that his strength was already far beyond anything they could hope to catch up to.

When the difference in strength between the two sides reaches a certain level, old forms of address clearly become somewhat inappropriate. Ye Ku understood that the Plane Yun Xiao now stood on was already completely different from them, who were still struggling bitterly within the Earth Rank Third Realm.

Although in Yun Xiao’s heart he might feel that the words "senior brother" are more fitting, a person’s value lies in having self‑knowledge; a strong expert has the dignity of a strong expert, and many times, a small trace of disrespect might bring about one’s own death.

So despite Yun Xiao being much younger than Ye Ku and Si Mo, in their hearts he was already a high and mighty big shot, and the relationship between them could never return to what it had been in those early days.

"Sigh, I used to think I could catch up to Senior Brother Yun Xiao’s... oh no, Vice President’s footsteps. Now it seems there’s no way in this lifetime!"

Reminded by Ye Ku, Si Mo first nodded, then sighed somewhat bleakly, and immediately discovered that he was being surrounded by a bunch of mocking gazes.

"A lifetime? I say even if you were given two lifetimes, you still wouldn’t be able to catch up to the Vice President!"

Ye Ku, whose heart was likewise filled with emotion and excitement and who had always been taciturn, actually cracked a moderate joke at this moment, making all the people nearby nod repeatedly.

You, Si Mo, not comparing yourself to others, actually choose to compare yourself with that Demon—aren’t you just asking to be abused? At least in their minds, the Tenglong Continent had never produced a freak like Yun Xiao.

Compared to these young geniuses, the faces of the Stewards, protectors, and Elders of Lianyun Mountain were all covered with浓郁的喜色 at this moment, because Yun Xiao, by himself alone, had forcibly turned around the declining situation of the Meridian Refining Master Association.

The highest‑level battle at this moment was evenly matched, while below the current Palace Master Wu Zhukong, the three Heavenly Rank Experts of Wuyan Palace had all been domineeringly killed by Yun Xiao; it could be said the overall situation was already decided.

"Run!"

After a brief moment of shock, from the direction of Wuyan Palace’s camp, a Peak of Earth Bending Realm Elder shouted loudly, and then over a dozen Wuyan Palace cultivators scattered like birds and beasts, splitting into several directions to flee toward the outside.

"Vice Chairman, we can’t let them escape!"

Seeing those hateful Wuyan Palace scum actually scattering in all directions, a Lianyun Mountain Elder grew anxious and shouted out loud, for in his view, only Yun Xiao in the field could hope to keep all those Wuyan Palace cultivators here.

"Don’t worry, not one of them will get away!"

Hearing that shout from the Lianyun Mountain Elder, Yun Xiao’s faint voice drifted down, filling all the Lianyun Mountain cultivators with delight, while making the hearts of those Wuyan Palace cultivators suddenly sink.

After all, those who hadn’t reached the Heavenly Rank level were unable to fly through the air. At this moment, they only hated that their parents hadn’t given them two more legs; if they were the first one to be targeted by that terrifying youth, their fate would be sealed.

Swish, swish, swish...

Yet Yun Xiao at this moment barely moved at all. He simply stood suspended in midair like a god of the Nine Heavens, and with just the slightest twitch of his right index finger, a streak of black light shot out at extreme speed.

Under Yun Xiao’s control, every time the Dragon Sword danced, a spray of blood would erupt, and a Wuyan Palace cultivator would fall with it.

At the speed of the Dragon Taming Flying Sword, how could those Earth Rank Cultivators of Wuyan Palace possibly escape?

So in just a short moment, a full eighteen Wuyan Palace Earth Bending Realm cultivators, including a Half-step Heavenly Rank expert, were all pierced through the heart by the Dragon Sword.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of bodies hitting the ground sounded out, plunging the entire plaza at the entrance of Lianyun Mountain into absolute silence. Everyone just stared blankly at that calm and unruffled youth, a faint sense of fear rising in their hearts, never to be dispelled.

Because that youth called Yun Xiao was simply too ruthless and decisive in his killing. He had just slain eighteen in a row, and together with Fu Lingxue and Wuyan Palace’s Great Elder, that was a total of twenty people, yet he hadn’t even blinked.

Everyone understood clearly in their hearts that from this moment on, even if Wuyan Palace still had a Heavenly Realm Early Stage Mu Shiyi remaining, they would likely be unable to hold their spot among the four top powers of the Tenglong Continent.

They had just wiped out Xuanyin Hall, which had also been one of the four great super powers, and were on the verge of dominating the Continent. Yet no one had expected that because of a single small youth, they would follow in Xuanyin Hall’s footsteps. One had to say, it was truly both pitiable and lamentable.
