Chapter 265: Two shameless old fellows!
Swoosh!
At the moment when everyone, including Mo Qing and Chang Qing, thought Yun Xiao couldn’t possibly withstand Cao Kong’s palm strike, their vision blurred, and then, just like its namesake, Cao Kong’s palm sliced through empty air.
At that moment, Yun Xiao’s movement technique was like a ghostly apparition, so fast that even early and middle-stage Meridian Rushing Realm cultivators struggled to see it clearly.
It seemed as though Yun Xiao had anticipated that Cao Kong would launch a palm strike in his direction. Armed with the advantage of forethought against the unprepared, he managed to dodge the lethal blow at the crucial moment.
Regardless, the fact remained that Cao Kong, an early-stage Meridian Union Realm cultivator, failed to even scratch Yun Xiao, a spectacle so unfathomable to the onlookers.
Now, everyone could sense Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation level, merely at the early stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm. Still, he narrowly escaped death from early-stage Meridian Union Realm Cao Kong, and in such a bizarre way. At this moment, many became intrigued by this unknown youth in coarse clothing.
Included among these spectators was Yue Qi, the number one talent of the Poison Vein line of the Jade Pot Sect. He had certainly heard of Yun Xiao before, but even with the great commotion Yun Xiao caused in the Outer Sect competition, it would have never caught Yue Qi’s attention, as he only regarded Mo Qing as a worthy opponent.
But now, Yun Xiao’s quick reflexes and peculiar movement technique made Yue Qi take serious notice. This newcomer to the Inner Sect, who had been taken as a direct disciple by the Sect Leader, indeed had some outstanding qualities.
Yun Xiao, having narrowly avoided Cao Kong’s powerful palm strike, was too preoccupied to bother about the bystanders. Cold sweat broke out on his back as he pondered that if he had been even a tad slower, he might have become gravely injured or worse, which would put an end to his quest for treasures within the Meridian Treasure.
Clearly, Yun Xiao had relied on experiences and techniques from his previous life to dodge Cao Kong’s fatal palm strike at the critical moment, performing a death-defying dance on the brink that was utterly spellbinding to the observers.
