Chapter 153 Shameful Ending
Everyone had thought this battle would end quickly, but they never anticipated it would conclude this swiftly and the final outcome would be the complete opposite of what they had expected. Even many didn’t get to see clearly because Yun Xiao’s speed was too fast, dazzling to the eyes. They knew that if they were in Gao Zheng’s position and unaware of Yun Xiao’s speed, they would undoubtedly be unable to dodge as well.
Of course, this group of shocked geniuses didn’t include Meridian Rushing Realm Cultivators like Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, not to mention Guan Tong over there, who sneered again and again.
The sneer on Guan Tong’s face was directed both at Yun Xiao and at Gao Zheng. In his view, Yun Xiao’s ability to defeat a Meridian Gathering Realm Peak genius so effortlessly and quickly stemmed not only from his cunning tactics but largely from Gao Zheng underestimating Yun Xiao.
Having clashed with Yun Xiao a few times, Guan Tong had some understanding of this young man’s methods. He knew that although Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation wasn’t high, his bizarre and formidable tactics could catch even a Cultivator at the early stage of Meridian Rushing Realm off guard.
Let alone Gao Zheng, who was at the peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm. This veteran Outer Sect genius had never engaged with Yun Xiao and only thought of overcoming him with his superior Meridian Qi, not expecting to be defeated so miserably in the end.
As Guan Tong thought, Gao Zheng indeed lost due to his carelessness or rather his lack of understanding of Yun Xiao. Without employing the Ancestor Vein Power, defeating a Meridian Gathering Realm Peak genius would still have required Yun Xiao some effort.
It happened that Gao Zheng’s pride clouded his judgment, and he underestimated a newcomer at the late stage of the Meridian Gathering Realm, leading to his defeat.
With Yun Xiao’s left hand enveloped in a chilling aura gripping his neck, Gao Zheng didn’t dare to move because, despite not respecting Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi, the intense coldness was truly unsettling.
Seeing Gao Zheng remaining silent and unable to see his face, Yun Xiao thought the Outer Sect genius had conceded and consequently withdrew his left arm.
