Ancestors Above!!!

Bang, bang, bang!

Thirty-four Xiao Clan geniuses pounded down the long street, sending puddles splashing everywhere.

Amid the raging downpour, every face was ablaze with fury!

The fathers and mothers of several among them had already been hacked into mincemeat by Master Fu.

For such a blood feud, only killing would suffice!

"Hurry!"

Tang Biao had only just been excited for Master Fu, but now he was trembling wildly with fear again.

These young Xiao Clan geniuses had gone mad.

"You go first! I'll cover the rear..."

Amid the thunder, Qi Lin brushed past Tang Biao as he was about to flee.

Azure Soul Sword in hand, he went forward!

"Have you gone mad?"

Tang Biao stopped, his eyes wide as he stared at Qi Lin in a daze.

Qi Lin glanced back at him. "If we run together, you'll die first because you're slow. Better go find someone to save me."

Tang Biao froze.

"I, Qi Lin, won't drag my friends down."

"Go!!"

Seeing that he still hadn't moved, Qi Lin roared, his voice shaking the rain-filled sky.

"You have to hold on. Fight as you retreat..."

Tears streamed down Tang Biao's face as he let out a powerless cry and left.

Only after seeing him reach safety with his own eyes did Qi Lin turn around and pick up speed, striding toward the great mass of Xiao Clan geniuses at the other end of the long street.

Rain splashed, and thunder ripped through the heavens!

Beneath the pitch-black sky, the young boy in black charged alone, one man and one sword bursting through the curtain of rain!

He was meeting them head-on. How could he possibly fight while retreating?

Across from him, thirty-four pairs of fierce eyes saw that this Mystic City stray dog was not only unafraid but dared to be so brazen, and fury naturally exploded in their chests!

"Kill-!!!"

The thirty-four roared louder than the crashing thunder, blasting apart the curtain of rain as countless blades, swords, and Essence weapons struck at Qi Lin.

"Beast! Beast!"

His mother's cries burned in his mind as Xiao Xuanxing roared like a wild beast, bringing his sword down at Qi Lin's head.

Yet even he could not strike the fastest.

Just as Tang Wenwan had said, one person's strength did not count; only when everyone was strong did it count. At that instant, more than a dozen blades were chopping down at Qi Lin's head.

There were truly more blades than his dismembered body could go around!

Every attacker's face was extremely young, and extremely savage.

The calmest-looking person was actually Qi Lin, who was fighting thirty-four Xiao Clan geniuses alone!

"Even if I, Qi Lin, die, I'll drag half your clan's geniuses into the grave with me!!!"

After roaring those words, he was no longer calm.

As more than ten blades and swords came down to behead him, Qi Lin roared and extended the little finger of his left hand.

Hum!

A surge of crimson flame suddenly erupted in the rain like the breath of a gaping maw, swallowing the Xiao Clan geniuses at the very front in an instant!

"Ah-!"

Screams rang out as the fierce flames swept straight over the Xiao Clan geniuses.

"It's a forbidden art! Get out of the way!"

Numerous startled cries rang in his ears.

"What can a forbidden art do to me?"

Xiao Xuanxing roared and charged straight through the raging flames, slashing down with his sharp sword!

But his strike hit empty air.

"He used the flames of that forbidden art to escape?"

Xiao Xuanxing's fury erupted.

No sooner had he spoken than a cyan blade suddenly struck out from the flames at his side!

Xiao Xuanxing had just missed with his strike, and it was hard even to defend himself.

"No!"

He remembered Xiao Yao'er's death, and cold sweat broke out all over him!

But he was too slow!

He could not defend against the sword that followed the forbidden art!

The one striking with that sword was Qi Lin!

He knew Xiao Xuanxing was Zhao Jianchen and Xiao Qian's son!

He wanted his life!

Clink!

The Azure Soul Sword moved like a swimming dragon, swift as rolling thunder, stabbing straight for Xiao Xuanxing's throat!

"Die!"

Qi Lin's expression was utterly savage and cold.

Xiao Xuanxing was terrified!

The next instant, his expression grew even more savage.

"Did you think I, Xiao Xuanxing, came from a poor family?"

The instant his words fell, a suit of radiant armor suddenly appeared on Xiao Xuanxing, sealing him inside completely!

Clang!!

Qi Lin's Azure Soul Sword struck the treasured armor, which shone like the stars, with an explosive clang.

Xiao Xuanxing cried out in pain and was sent flying backward, knocking down several young Xiao clansmen!

His face was deathly pale as he hurriedly clutched his throat.

It was perfectly smooth!

Not a scratch!

Xiao Xuanxing looked again at Qi Lin, who was surrounded by the crowd.

The young boy in black was frowning at the broken sword in his hand.

Xiao Xuanxing burst out laughing!

"Broke bastard! Do you know what wealth means? Fighting you while wearing Two Aspects Lower Grade Shimmering Star Armor—that's what a great clan of the Divine Capital is like!"

Qi Lin's face twitched violently!

Where had the Xiao Clan's wealth come from?

How could he not know?

The taxes Sister Xiaoyu could never finish paying, month after month, year after year!

He had spewed out all the fire from the little finger of his left hand, only for his First Qi Middle Grade Azure Soul Sword to snap...

This was the gap in wealth!

Anyone else, surrounded here with no way out, would have fallen apart by now.

Qi Lin abruptly hurled the broken sword at Xiao Xuanxing!

Clang!

The broken sword struck Xiao Xuanxing in the face, but the Shimmering Star Armor even protected his forehead!

"Heh..."

The other Xiao Clan geniuses sneered at the sight.

But the next instant, Qi Lin drew another sword from his void ring.

The sword was orange-red, with fierce flames burning upon it.

"Rosy Flame!"

At the sight of Xiao Ling'er's sword, none of them could laugh anymore.

"Come again!"

Qi Lin spoke as he looked at the dark mass of people around him.

"Don't be afraid!"

"He's used up his forbidden art. He has nothing left!"

"Kill!!"

A Mystic Sea Realm Third Layer youth named Xiao Chen was the first to step forward. "Me first!"

As soon as he spoke, he turned his hand over, and a golden seal appeared.

"Stray dog, do you know what this is? The Golden Stove Seal! First Qi Upper Grade! Worth five thousand taels of gold!" Xiao Chen sneered.

"Then many thanks," Qi Lin said.

"Fuck your mother! You're about to die and you're still talking tough!"

Xiao Chen stepped forward, and the Golden Stove Seal in his hand shot into the sky, expanding a hundredfold in an instant. It appeared above Qi Lin's head like a gigantic golden seal.

"I'll pin him down. You cut him up!"

True Essence surged from Xiao Chen's entire body into the Golden Stove Seal.

Boom!

The Golden Stove Seal unleashed a pressure nearly equal to that of the Earth Yang Realm, forming a force of a thousand jin that bore down on Qi Lin.

Crack, crack!

The ground beneath Qi Lin's feet split open again, and the surrounding puddles were pressed so hard that they evaporated.

Xiao Xuanxing got to his feet and said viciously, "One sword strike each. No more than that!"

Hum, hum, hum!

More than thirty people rushed to attack Qi Lin, each afraid of missing his chance to strike.

Under the crushing weight, amid the downpour and thunder, Qi Lin struggled to raise his head.

Even his hair was pressed flat against his scalp, and he could barely lift his eyelids!

This was the power of wealth!

Qi Lin stared fixedly at the thirty-four Xiao Clan geniuses charging at him, the blood and fire in his chest blasting against the heavens!

"Ancestors above!!!"

At that instant, he closed his eyes! Opened them!

"I! Will! Kill!!"

The instant he opened his eyes, the sky exploded!

Enormous bloody fissures tore through the dim sky in an instant, swallowing the dark clouds and serpents of lightning, dyeing the heavens blood-red!

Rip!!

The bloody fissures suddenly spread wide, and scarlet suns filled the sky above Divine Strategy Manor!

They were blood-colored suns, and also the eyes of the heavens!

Splash!

The moment the sky was completely engulfed by those blood-colored suns, the rain and thunder over the entire Divine Strategy Manor turned blood-red in an instant, crashing down like a sea of blood poured from the heavens!

The entire world was engulfed in blood-red!

Such a cataclysmic change in heaven and earth!

Such furious blood setting the soul ablaze!

"What..."

The young Xiao Clan geniuses charging at Qi Lin stopped once again.

At that moment, their faces were completely stained red, bewilderment filled their eyes, and terror spread wildly!

"What is that..."

The thirty-four stood in a daze.

Bang!

Suddenly, an explosion rang out. In the chaos, the Golden Stove Seal crashed straight into the ground, causing the earth to collapse.

And Qi Lin, who had been pinned beneath the Golden Stove Seal moments before, had vanished!

"He's behind me!!"

Xiao Ningdie suddenly screamed.

Her scream cut off abruptly!

Crack!

Hearing that heart-shaking sound of a head being chopped off, the Xiao Clan geniuses turned around in terror!

Amid the exploding spray of blood rain, a young boy in black held the Rosy Flame Sword in one hand and a human head in the other!

The head was pretty and adorable, yet filled with terror and agony... She had died just like that.

It was Xiao Ningdie!

Blood rain streamed wildly down the young boy's body and through his hair. Between the strands of black hair, a pair of blood-colored eyes filled with tiny scarlet eyes could be seen!

This sight, together with the blood suns overhead and the blood rain in the air, formed a scene that would give them nightmares for the rest of their lives!

Bang!

Qi Lin tossed the head into the blood rain.

His voice was utterly hoarse and savage!

"Thirty-three left."

The voice was like that of a ghost, piercing the ears of the Xiao Clan geniuses!

The thirty-three who remained clenched their teeth, their faces contorted.

"This must be some kind of illusion technique!"

Xiao Yunyi suddenly let out a savage cry and roared, "Everyone, trust me! I've been refining pills for so many years, so my Soul Power is stronger than yours. What you're seeing is fake! He's bluffing. Just kill him!"

Even so, his head was drenched in sweat as he spoke.

After all, everything before his eyes was too outrageous, too terrifying!

Even though he himself knew it was fake, he was still deceived at every moment, affected by the chaos, and plunged into fear and struggle.

"I'll go first!"

Xiao Yunyi was also at the Mystic Sea Realm Third Layer.

He stepped forward, and his Soul Power slipped into his True Essence, forming Soul Essence!

The power of Soul Essence was controlled by the soul. Even after leaving the body, it could change completely according to its master's will.

"Forbidden art, Flame Star!"

Threads of blazing-fire Soul Power poured from Xiao Yunyi's fingers, which moved rapidly as though they were "weaving."

Humm!

In an instant, a blazing star formed of Soul Essence appeared in his palm!

"Explode!"

With a low roar from Xiao Yunyi, the blazing star shot toward Qi Lin at high speed.

Within Blood-Shining Hell, he used this forbidden art to forcibly raise morale, proving once again that this group of Xiao Clan geniuses were not brainless fools rushing to get their faces slapped.

With his forbidden art, Flame Star, leading the way, the other Xiao Clan geniuses' morale rose. Even facing Qi Lin, who filled them with instinctive fear, they once again mustered their killing intent.

Xiao Yunyi roared in an explosive voice!

"We originally had twenty-two people at the same realm as him, and thirteen one realm above him..."

"If we still can't kill him by attacking together, we might as well all atone with our deaths!!!"
