Chapter 60: Sixty go find big brother!
Tan Yun guessed right, Yun Xiao truly had no strength left even to lift his arm, and he knew why that was the case—it was because the activation of the Ancestor Vein Power just now wasn’t quite the same as the one over a year ago at the Shang Family’s place.
Back then, Yun Xiao had activated the Ancestor Vein Power several times, even using the Meridian Fire to leave the mysterious, tall and thin old man disheveled, but such a situation had never occurred at that time.
Yun Xiao, who had collapsed to the ground, pondered briefly and seemed to have understood a bit; those few life-threatening moments were autonomously triggered by the Ancestor Vein Power, consuming perhaps not his own strength, but something deep within his body.
However, this time, it was Yun Xiao who voluntarily stimulated the Ancestor Vein Power to achieve the effect of defeating and injuring his enemy, channeling all the Meridian Qi in his body into this Ancestor Vein, which is why such formidable power burst out just now.
It could be said that Yun Xiao had drained all the Meridian Qi within his body, after all, his enemy was at the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm. If it hadn’t been for this sudden, critical strike, it might not have been so easy for him to defeat Cao Ju.
As a result, Yun Xiao was left completely depleted of Meridian Qi, also partly because he had underestimated the Meridian Qi Cultivation of his own body. If Cao Ju had endured the pain and struck back at him, perhaps the outcome would have drastically changed.
That was also why Yun Xiao didn’t pursue the victory just now—how could he even talk about chasing when he couldn’t even stand steadily?
However, through this battle, Yun Xiao gained a deeper understanding of his current combat ability. At least from now on, he wouldn’t put himself in such a powerless and risky situation.
"Yun Xiao, what’s wrong with you?"
Beside him, Tan Yun had also noticed something off about the young man, and she immediately asked with concern, the pallor on his face and his shortness of breath were quite obvious.
