"You’re really closing the door on this, aren’t you."
Xie Manshan sighed. "Without a King’s Body, the Xiao Family is dood to a miserable end. You still have a chance right now..."
"We don’t need it!"
Xiao Duguang roared. Arcs of electricity erupted around him. His entire body was like a blazing furnace, and the terrifying power he radiated sent ripples through the void.
CRACKLE~
BOOM!
The phantom image of the Thunder Spear suddenly solidified with a deafening clap of thunder.
A silver spear appeared in Xiao Duguang’s hands, engraved with a baring, raging dragon.
SHING! SHING!
Powerful Qi shot out, piercing the air.
The phantom Thunder Spear overlaid and rged with the silver spear, becoming a projected silhouette around it. It emanated a terrifying aura that distorted the void.
CRACKLE~!
SWOOSH!
Having completely unleashed his power, Xiao Duguang, silver spear in hand, moved like a bolt of lightning, charging straight at Xie Manshan and Xie Manshui.
"BANG~"
BOOM!!
A trendous roar.
Caught off guard, Xie Manshan was struck by the sweeping attack. The terrifying Thunder Power, combined with the force of a high-grade Spiritual Soldier, sent his blood and qi roiling. His face flushed red, and flas erupted in his eyes.
As he stumbled backward, unable to control his montum, he hissed, "Kill him!"
"ROAR~"
Xie Manshui was already roaring in fury. A searing aura swept out as a pair of sharp claws appeared, fitting over his hands and wreathed in flas.
TSSSK~!
The Flaming Hand lashed out fiercely with a tearing sound. It sliced through the air, leaving clear claw marks as it shot straight for Xiao Duguang.
WHOOSH!
Xiao Duguang swept his silver spear to counter the Fla Claw, clashing head-on with Xie Manshui.
In the space of a few breaths, the two clashed more than a dozen tis.
The resulting shockwaves destroyed the courtyard, houses, rockeries, gardens—every structure in the vicinity.
BOOM! BOOM!
The muffled explosions were deafening.
SWOOSH!
During the exchange, Xie Manshan finally dissipated the force of the blow. Wreathed in flas and wielding a long, burning saber, he charged over to join the fray, teaming up with Xie Manshui to attack Xiao Duguang.
Xie Manshan and Xie Manshui were both in the second stage of the Heroic Body Realm.
Xiao Duguang, who had only just broken through to Heroic Body: lting Furnace, fought crazily against the two of them!
...
「In a county town in southeastern Shuzhou, Jing Country.」
"BANG! BANG! BANG~!"
Following a series of muffled thuds, a figure smashed through five consecutive walls before crashing into a house, leaving a gaping hole.
"Cough, cough~ PTOO!"
Xiao Dutian, holding a black spear with disheveled hair, half-knelt on the ground. He coughed and coughed, spitting out a large clot of dark blood.
"Xiao Dutian, have you accepted your fate?"
A slender figure, accompanied by a searing aura, walked in from outside.
"Hah... hah..."
Xiao Dutian didn’t respond, only gasping for breath. His face was pale as paper, but a look of grim determination filled his downcast eyes.
"The King’s Body of your Xiao Family has already fallen. Why bother struggling?"
Xie Buwan strolled into the room with his hands behind his back, a mocking look in his eyes. He continued, "The right path is to pledge allegiance to my Xie Family now. My family has two King’s Bodies, more than enough to support your Xiao Family! It will give you plenty of ti to produce a new King!"
"This is a mutually beneficial arrangent, yet you’re so stubborn you refuse to accept it. I truly don’t understand."
Xie Buwan sighed with mock regret. "Don’t tell a mont of pride is more important than your family’s legacy..."
WHOOSH-BOOM~!
Suddenly, Xiao Dutian, who had been kneeling motionlessly on the ground, raised his hand and flung a streak of silver light straight at Xie Buwan.
Xie Buwan seed to have been prepared. A dark red shield materialized in front of him, blocking the silver light.
However, Xiao Dutian’s attack wasn’t just the silver light. Almost at the sa instant he threw it, he also launched three hidden darts.
A black gleam first appeared on the surface of these three darts before they vanished into the void. When they reappeared, they had already bypassed the dark red shield and were stabbing straight for Xie Buwan’s chest.
PFFT! PFFT! BANG~!
Two muffled thuds, one sharp crack.
A protective barrier appeared on Xie Buwan’s body, blocking and neutralizing two of the darts. But he was too late for the third. It tore through his muscle, burrowed into his body, pierced him just below the heart, and exited from his back.
Although it missed his heart, the dart was coated with venom. The poisonous liquid and gas began destroying his flesh and tissue the mont it passed through his body, attacking his heart.
Before Xie Buwan could even muster his Divine Wondrous power to stop it, Xiao Dutian himself swung his spear. The phantom image of a Thunderbolt Spear appeared behind him, rging with his body. He charged at Xie Buwan, wrapped in a tyrannical, destructive aura.
WHOOSH~~!
The black spear ca crashing down, its whistling descent exploding like a sonic boom.
Xie Buwan instinctively raised his dark red shield.
SHINK!
But unexpectedly, Xiao Dutian’s attack suddenly changed. He let go of the black spear, and a short, thunder-lit blade appeared in his hand. Skimming past the edge of the dark red shield, it plunged into Xie Buwan’s heart with a sickening squelch, spraying a cloud of hot, acrid blood.
The force was so great that as Xie Buwan was thrown backward, Xiao Dutian went with him. They collapsed together, tumbling out of the house and landing heavily on the stone slabs at the entrance with a loud BOOM. The flagstones cracked and shattered, kicking up a cloud of dust and debris from the crater they ford.
Only then did the two of them co to a stop.
Half of Xiao Dutian’s body lay on top of Xie Buwan. He gripped the short blade with both hands and twisted it viciously.
Black blood gushed from Xie Buwan’s mouth. His bloodshot eyes were wide with shock, fury, bewildernt, indignation, and disbelief.
"You... you..."
His whole body trembled. He tried to raise his hand, but couldn’t.
Staring with wide, bloodshot eyes at the face of Xiao Dutian so close to his own, Xie Buwan wanted to scream, to roar with rage. But his Vitality was draining too quickly. He gaped for a long mont before the light finally faded from his eyes. His legs kicked out, and he died.
His entire heart had been minced by the poisoned blade. Even as a second-stage Super Body, Xie Buwan died on the spot, his eyes wide with disbelief!
Even so, Xiao Dutian kept gripping the short blade, twisting and churning until Xie Buwan’s heart was nothing but pulp. Only then did he pull his hand back, roll onto his side, and lie on the ground, facing the sky and gasping for breath.
’With that burst of power and the surprise attack, I’ve killed Xie Buwan. I’m safe for now.’
’But what’s the next step?’
’The news that the Xiao Family’s King’s Body died of old age is already out. Right now, it’s just the Xie Family watching us, pressuring us.’
’It won’t be long before the Xiang Family, the Yong Family, the Yu Family, and the other Noble Families co swooping in to take our possessions and our lives!’
’What do I do?’
...
...
「On a mountain peak in Changying Prefecture, in the central region of Fengzhou.」
SHINK!
With a flash of a blade, a three-ter-tall, two-headed giant wolf collapsed. Its massive body split in two down the middle, spilling Demon Blood and steaming entrails all over the ground.
Spirit Capturing!
[Demon Points 23]
’I’ve reached 200,000!’
Gu Zheng sheathed his saber and glanced at his total Demon Points on the panel. It had already reached 200,000.
’I can break through!’
He released the Blood River Insects to absorb the Demon Wolf’s flesh and blood. Then, he summoned the Death God Mantis to guard the surroundings.
Gu Zheng moved, and three illusory doubles separated from his body. Two held God-Hunting Arrows, and one held the Heaven-piercing Halberd.
Then, they each scattered to guard a different direction.
Gu Zheng himself walked to the side, chose a rock to sit on, and spent his Demon Points to break through!
VMMMMM~~~
His body trembled, unleashing an invisible force that caused the void to twist and distort.
In an instant, an area several miles in radius was enveloped in a majestic pressure.
All the Power of Heaven and Earth within a dozen-mile radius was drawn in, converging above Gu Zheng’s head before pouring into his body.
BOOM!
It was as if a trendous explosion went off in his ears.
In that instant, Gu Zheng’s five senses magnified countless tis. It felt like he had pierced through a transparent film—a shackle that heaven and earth placed upon humanity.
In that mont, the film shattered, and the shackle broke.
All sorts of sounds, colors, slls, and auras flooded into Gu Zheng’s body, allowing him to perceive them all.
