Chapter 759: 759 Meet again!
There are billions of Vein Demons on the Continent, and it would probably be impossible to understand the anatomy of every single one in a lifetime. However, the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile was something that the Long Xiao Battle God had encountered in a previous life, so at this moment, Yun Xiao was skillfully able to continue tail restoration with ease.
At this moment, the heart of the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile was undoubtedly surprised and delighted, originally thinking its name would no longer suit if it became a One-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile. It never expected the day to "return to being two-tailed" would come.
Originally, the creature harbored hatred for this human youngster because Yun Xiao wanted to take over its den. However, now, it had discarded these thoughts completely, as the mind of a Vein Demon is simple.
While the restoration of the tail still caused some harm to the Vein Demon, the physical strength of the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile was remarkable. As long as the tails were reattached, it should be able to recover its former combat strength after some time.
Yun Xiao is a person who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and grudges, just like Yun Wei originally. He wouldn’t owe someone a favor lightly unless absolutely necessary, even if it’s a Vein Demon.
Debt of gratitude is the most difficult to repay. Yun Xiao, having lived a second life, understood this well. Since the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile had extended its help, it meant he owed it a favor, which he naturally had to repay on the spot.
"Alright, avoid fighting with other Vein Demons or humans for a while. You should be able to recover in no more than a month!"
After Yun Xiao withdrew his arm, seeing the tails connected satisfactorily, he was quite pleased with his work, which also excited the Two-tailed Dragon Scale Crocodile.
Splash!
Knowing the human youngster had returned the den, the Two-headed Dragon Scale Crocodile did not return to the deep pool but drilled back into the cave behind the waterfall.
"It’s also time to leave!"
Yun Xiao clenched his fist, very satisfied with what he had achieved this time. Not only had he broken through to the Middle Stage of the Qi Seeking Realm, but he had also initially activated the sixth Ancestor Vein on his back, achieving two goals at once.
"Um, sorry to disturb you, are you done?"
However, just as Yun Xiao turned around to find the direction to leave, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from somewhere, causing his expression to change drastically.
"This voice..."
Yun Xiao was sure he had heard this voice somewhere before, and not too long ago. As he looked toward the direction of the sound, his heart sank.
"Spirit Fighting Commerce Special Envoy: Xia Yong!"
There was no doubt now, it definitely was someone he had interacted with. But the presence of this person here and now brought to mind some possibilities, which darkened his face even more.
"Hehe, Yun Xiao, didn’t expect to see you again so soon, huh?"
The visitor was none other than the Spirit Fighting Commerce headquarters special envoy, Xia Yong. It was unclear whether he had been following Yun Xiao for a while or if he had followed the people from the Yuyang City Spirit Fighting Branch, but at this moment, his face carried a faint confident smile.
"Special Envoy Xia Yong, long time no see!"
Yun Xiao’s eyes darted around, covertly sensing paths to escape while speaking hollow words, but his expression seemed to betray him.
"Yun Xiao, since things have come to this point, let’s be clear and not beat around the bush. I can give you another chance to sell the Meridian Spirit on you to me. After clearing the debts, we can go our separate ways and owe nothing to each other. How about that?"
Xia Yong, having everything under control, did not beat around the bush. He repeated the words spoken previously in Lin Family’s attic, but this time, his words seemed to carry a subtle threat.
The so-called "this point" suggested by Xia Yong meant in his view that Yun Xiao had no way out. If the youngster truly didn’t know his place, he wouldn’t mind adding another corpse to this place.
"Yun Xiao, I must say you really do impress me. So many people from the Yuyang City branch could not subdue you, but if you think I am like them, you’d be greatly mistaken!"
Seeing Yun Xiao remained silent, Xia Yong spoke again, sensing the bloody aura behind the waterfall, aware that none of those who came to kill Yun Xiao probably survived.
But Xia Yong himself was a real peak of the Seeking Origin Realm powerhouse. His strength wasn’t considered weak throughout the entire Tenglong Continent, even if it were Ge Sheng and Xi Shaqing joining hands to attack, he could likely crush them with one hand.
This is the essential difference between a Seeking Origin Realm powerhouse and a Qi Seeking Realm cultivator. Moreover, since Xia Yong has reached the peak of Seeking Origin Realm, his cultivation is something even the head of the Yuyang City branch, Xu Huang, could hardly match.
"Can’t match this power!"
Under such a formidable enemy, Yun Xiao knew that if he were to fight head-on, he would stand no chance at all, despite having many tricks up his sleeve, having only just broken through to the middle stage of the Qi Seeking Realm.
Cultivators below the Seeking Origin Realm, Yun Xiao could overpower or even defeat with all his techniques unleashed, but once exceeding by a whole great rank, his power appeared somewhat insufficient.
Feeling the extremely mighty Meridian Qi emanating from Xia Yong, Yun Xiao knew it was a matter of life and death for him, and the possibility of him compromising was out of the question.
Whether it was the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad Meridian Spirit, Red Feather, or Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, Yun Xiao could not possibly hand them over to Xia Yong, and even if he wanted to, those two likely wouldn’t agree.
"What? Under such circumstances, do you have any other thoughts? Don’t blame me, the Special Envoy, for not warning you, if you really fail to recognize your situation, I will show no mercy!"
Xia Yong once again spoke, and this time after his words fell, his fingertips were already wrapped in a faint trace of Meridian Qi, and even a hint of murderous intent swept across his eyes.
It seems that after the Spirit Fighting Conference ended in Yuyang City, Xia Yong had investigated Yun Xiao, and the final information obtained was that this youth came from a small Yujiang City, seemingly having some connection with the Lin Family of Yujiang City.
A Lin Family from a remote city, how could it be regarded by Xia Yong, the Special Envoy of the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce? Because even Lin Zhenjiang, the Family Head of the Lin Family, was merely a cultivator at the early stage of the Seeking Origin Realm.
Thus, for Xia Yong, killing this youth named Yun Xiao carried no burden at all, and now that the Spirit Fighting Commerce had ended some time ago, and being in these deep mountains and old forests, his actions would absolutely not be exposed.
In fact, Xia Yong standing here calmly speaking was to subdue Yun Xiao with his own aura, hoping him to hand over the three Meridian Spirits voluntarily, along with the Refining Method.
After all, obtaining a contracted Meridian Spirit is not so easy, Xia Yong guessed that Yun Xiao must have used some special method to own two contracted Meridian Spirits, and before obtaining this method, he wouldn’t easily take Yun Xiao’s life.
Of course, once he got what he wanted, Yun Xiao’s little life would also be at its end, this point, he who reincarnated from the Long Xiao Battle God, was certainly not unaware.
"Yun Xiao, I’ll give you ten more breaths of time, if you continue to be deluded, don’t blame me for taking them myself!"
Xia Yong’s patience was limited, and with his words, the countdown of ten breaths started, like the death knell of a grim reaper, making Yun Xiao’s path of escape increasingly tense.
"Three, two, one!"
Swoosh!
How long could ten breaths be, and as Xia Yong counted the last number, he saw that the boy in rough clothes suddenly turned around and dashed towards a certain direction.
"Really not taking the toast, only forcing to drink the forfeit wine!"
Seeing this, Xia Yong instantly exploded in rage, originally thinking that under his, a peak Seeking Origin Realm powerhouse’s hands, that boy wouldn’t dare to pull any tricks, but he didn’t expect such a blatant trick.
"Do you really think you can escape from my grasp, Xia Yong?"
Seeing Yun Xiao’s figure disappear behind a large tree, Xia Yong’s furious heart instantly turned into a sneer, then with a light move, his whole body was already a dozen meters away from the original spot, and every step he took seemed to span a dozen meters.
A Seeking Origin Realm powerhouse, who could mobilize not just ordinary Earth Power but Earth Essence, thus on this speed aspect, with the aid of Earth Essence, it was many times faster compared to some Qi Seeking Realm cultivators.
Just when Xia Yong thought he could easily catch up with Yun Xiao, after chasing for several dozen meters, he saw the fleeing youth ahead, moving ghost-like, with every step also spanning several meters.
"Is that... a kind of Body Meridian Technique?"
It must be said, Xia Yong, the Special Envoy from the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, had extremely sharp eyes. He couldn’t believe Yun Xiao could match his speed with ordinary speed alone. That kid escaping so far instantaneously, was definitely using a powerful movement technique.
A Body Meridian Technique that even Xia Yong, a peak Seeking Origin Realm powerhouse, could not catch up in a short time, was probably at least an Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Technique, even an Earth Rank Advanced was not impossible.
On the Tenglong Continent, there were already some super geniuses who cross-level cultivate high-rank Meridian Techniques, although they couldn’t cultivate the technique to great success, just being able to unleash several successes of its power, it was much stronger than some low-rank Meridian Techniques.
"What exactly is that kid’s background?"
While Xia Yong accelerated, chasing speed, thoughts of speculation also surged in his heart, Yun Xiao not only had two contracted Meridian Spirits but also possessed such strong and eerie movement Meridian Techniques, to say he truly came from a small family in Yujiang City, Xia Yong really found it hard to believe.
