Chapter 59: Fifty-nine Meridian Fire re-emerges
Because the slender figure that appeared on the battlefield at this moment was none other than Tan Yun, who had only days before caused Cao Jun to suffer an injury with a whip, and she was also a cultivator in the late stage of the Meridian Introduction Realm, just like him.
The reason Cao Jun was confused was that he knew very clearly that this woman had already been targeted by his second brother not long ago. So why was she able to spare the effort to join this battle after Cao Ju had made a move?
As Cao Jun was puzzled and turned his head towards a certain part of the battlefield, he finally had a realization and felt an extreme sense of disbelief. He was astonished to see his second brother, the formidable cultivator at the peak of the Meridian Introduction Realm, actually being suppressed by a frail-looking youth.
"Meridian Introduction Realm... Middle Stage?"
Especially when Cao Jun sensed the Meridian Qi aura of Yun Xiao, he doubted if his eyes were deceiving him. With a two-small-realm gap, why was his second brother being suppressed so disadvantageously?
Tan Yun’s appearance, with a single move, had forced Cao Jun back, which greatly relieved the pressure on Ling Wan and the few team members. But like Cao Jun, they first couldn’t fathom how Tan Yun could spare the effort, not until they turned their heads and saw the fight over there.
"It’s... It’s Yun Xiao, how... how is this possible?"
The youth who had previously been dismissive of Yun Xiao trembled as he spoke, but when he saw that Yun Xiao seemed to have the upper hand, he took a sharp intake of cold breath and had a look of embarrassment on his face.
Before the Cao brothers had come after them, this youth had expressed dissatisfaction when Ling Wan invited Yun Xiao to join the team, thinking Yun Xiao was unworthy to stand with them. Looking at it now, it was truly a slap in the face, and a loud one at that.
What a joke, to be able to fight on par with Cao Ju, the peak Meridian Introduction Realm cultivator, and even somewhat gaining the upper hand—if one thought with their toes they could understand that the Yun Xiao they were seeing was definitely not the real Yun Xiao.
