No Mercy!

Chapter Thirty

As Yun Leng's shout fell, nearly a thousand disciples on the plaza stepped forward in unison. At the same time, dozens of figures rushed out, each covered in Dou Qi Gauze. Clearly, they were all Dou Masters.

At the same time, three figures shot out from among the many elders and flew into the sky. Their powerful Dou Qi directly trapped Xiao Yan, Xiao Lin, Qing Lin, and Lü Man.

In the sky, the Dou Qi wings behind the three white-robed old men slowly flapped. Because of the massive amount of Dou Qi spilling from their bodies, even the surrounding space appeared slightly illusory.

"It's starting." Hai Bodong stood with Jia Xing Tian and Fa Ma, watching the scene as he spoke softly.

The dispute between the younger generation, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, had reached its conclusion in a relatively fair contest. That had merely been today's appetizer.

Having stayed with the Xiao Family for nearly a year, Hai Bodong had become somewhat acquainted with the Xiao Family Old Ancestor. From their usual conversations, he knew that if the Misty Cloud Sect suffered today, that Xiao Family Dou Emperor would not simply let the matter go.

What was more, the Misty Cloud Sect now intended to keep all four members of the Xiao Family here for good. They truly were courting death.

"Lü Man, call out that big fellow. Today, I won't allow a single person to escape."

Facing the Misty Cloud Sect's encirclement, Xiao Lin's lips curled slightly upward. With his hands behind his back, he walked to Xiao Yan's side and gently patted his shoulder as his voice slowly rang out.

"It seems Xiao Lin of the Xiao Family has prepared for this day as well."

"Hehe, it looks like the Misty Cloud Sect intends to keep them all here. But what can Xiao Lin, a mere Dou Wang, do?"

"The Misty Cloud Sect is truly powerful. What can we say when they twist black into white like this..."

Quite a few leaders of various factions sighed at the sight. The Misty Cloud Sect stood astride the Jia Ma Empire, and they all had more or less interacted with it.

Over their long dealings, how could the domineering Misty Cloud Sect have ever treated them kindly? They had thought they would get to watch the Misty Cloud Sect make fools of itself today, only to see this unfold.

So what if Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family had won?

The Misty Cloud Sect possessed strength, and thus controlled the right to speak. Winning might instead mean losing...

"How absurd."

Yun Leng's expression was icy. As the Misty Cloud Sect's First Elder, he had already developed murderous intent toward those before him.

In the Jia Ma Empire, when the emperor was enraged, a million corpses would fall.

Yet above imperial power, the Misty Cloud Sect was the true god. Offend the Misty Cloud Sect, and there would be no path to survival, whether in heaven or hell!

Xiao Yan did not know his place and refused to hold back. Xiao Lin knew his place even less, publicly playing back the words Yun Leng had spoken.

Yet First Elder Yun Leng remained cold and indifferent. He did not take this matter to heart, because after today, the Xiao Family would be nothing but an illusion, nothing but the past, while the Misty Cloud Sect would endure as ever.

Today, he had not said a single word either. There had only been Xiao Yan desperately and barely resisting Nalan Yanran, ultimately resorting to underhanded tricks and narrowly winning with the help of his Grandfather, Xiao Lin.

And the Misty Cloud Sect would uncover everything and act decisively, wiping out the Xiao Family. The entire Jia Ma Empire would know only of the still supreme Misty Cloud Sect, and the Xiao Family that had employed vile methods!

"Surrender obediently, Xiao Lin of the Xiao Family..."

The auras of the Misty Cloud Sect's three Dou Wangs seemed to join together. Individually, perhaps none of them could make the Jia Ma Empire's list of top ten experts, but together, they did not fear even Dou Emperors!

As for Xiao Lin, he was merely a small-time Dou Wang. He would be better off not making futile struggles.

The auras of the three Dou Wangs linked together, and terrifying pressure spread throughout the sky.

Nalan Yanran's face was pale as she returned to the Misty Cloud Sect disciples. She wanted to say something, but Yun Leng directly ordered her dragged away.

"Roar!"

Just as everyone believed the Xiao Family's four members would meet their end here today, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, an enormous figure over a dozen zhang long blotted out the sky as it roared in from the horizon. The instant it appeared, it opened its massive jaws and bit directly toward the three Dou Wang figures in the sky.

"What is that thing?!"

"Ah!"

The three incredibly aged Dou Wangs with pale white hair had linked their auras together with those dozens of Dou Master disciples and more than a thousand ordinary disciples, forming an overwhelming force that seemed capable of crushing Xiao Yan's group of four.

Yet that enormous figure had eight black wings tinged with purple on its back. Its entire body was pitch-black, and a dark spiral-patterned horn protruded from its head, stabbing directly toward the three figures.

The three figures were sent flying by the tremendous force, each with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. The power of a Tier 6 Magical Beast was incomparably terrifying.

"Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor! That's a Tier 6 Magical Beast!"

Jia Xing Tian truly lived up to being a Half-step Dou Zong. He reacted at once, his expression changing drastically.

Everyone was shocked by the sight. They knew Xiao Lin had a trump card, but they had never expected it to be such a powerful Tier 6 Magical Beast!

However, there was clearly more than one surprise. Behind Xiao Lin, the green-clothed figure who had been accompanying the little girl also stepped forward. Her graceful figure swayed as she ascended into the high sky, releasing an equally powerful aura.

It far surpassed that of a Dou Wang. It was the powerful aura of a Dou Emperor!

High in the distant sky, the Green Clothed Woman and the massive Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor gradually converged. Instantly, two terrifying auras shot into the heavens, shredding the lazy clouds overhead into pieces.

As if symbolizing that the Misty Cloud Sect would likewise be torn apart today.

"Two Dou Emperors... so this is the Xiao Family's true trump card!" Jia Xing Tian looked at the woman and the serpent, seeming to realize something.

"Heh heh, Old Jia, this is only the beginning." Hai Bodong folded his arms, a faint blue gleam flickering in his eyes.

"You old bastard, you're still refusing to tell us?" Fa Ma felt his teeth ache. This old fellow really was something else.

The powerful auras of two Dou Emperors seemed ready to rip the heavens and earth apart. None of the Dou Wangs who had come to watch were fools. If they had initially intended to keep watching the show—

Then once Dou Emperors appeared, they decisively withdrew. Figures departed from the giant trees one after another, leaving only the three Dou Emperors qualified to remain and watch.

"You're from the Heavenly Snake Manor?!"

Yun Leng's aged eyes suddenly narrowed as he spotted the symbol representing the Heavenly Snake Manor on Lü Man.

"Your Heavenly Snake Manor and our Misty Cloud Sect have always kept to our own affairs. Why are you doing this today?"

"Injuring members of the Misty Cloud Sect is already no small matter. If you persist in your delusion, the consequences will shake heaven and earth! You had best think carefully!"

Yun Leng's imposing aura surged forth as a Dou Wang's presence emerged from his entire body, barely resisting the two incomparably terrifying auras in the sky.

In response, Lü Man and White Fang merely looked on leisurely, not even bothering to answer him.

This was a humiliation Yun Leng, the Misty Cloud Sect's First Elder, had never suffered in his life. The Heavenly Snake Manor's reputation might surpass that of the Misty Cloud Sect, but that alone would not have angered him.

However, the Heavenly Snake Manor's two Dou Emperors did not even acknowledge him, simply ignoring him as though he did not exist. That was the greatest humiliation!

"I'll give you three breaths. Those willing to withdraw from the Misty Cloud Sect will not be held accountable. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves."

At last, two dazzling azure wings appeared behind Xiao Lin. He rose into the sky and looked at the many figures around him as he spoke.

As his voice fell, his aura surged into the heavens and mixed with that of the woman and serpent, even surpassing them. He was like a Green Longsword standing atop the highest heavens!

Another Dou Emperor!

By now, the Misty Cloud Sect had actually provoked three Dou Emperors!

One had to know that the entire Jia Ma Empire only had three Dou Emperor experts!

At that moment, many of the thousand-plus Misty Cloud Sect disciples turned deathly pale. Their Misty Cloud Sect only had the Sect Master as a Dou Emperor!

"Three, two..."

At the same time, the Old Man high in the sky, standing like a sword thrust straight into the clouds, spoke again.

Three breaths. Leave or stay?

As expected, faced with such a situation, no one wished to remain. One figure after another directly withdrew from the formation. Before three breaths had passed, nearly half the disciples had abandoned their posts and fled.

"Good! Very good!" First Elder Yun Leng watched the scene and laughed in extreme anger. Even three Dou Emperors had not infuriated him this much, but the defection of nearly half the disciples had utterly stripped him of face!

"Then the rest of you are the Misty Cloud Sect's steadfast supporters? Since you wish to live and die alongside the Misty Cloud Sect, I shall grant you your wish."

"Today, Xiao Lin will destroy the Misty Cloud Sect. Misty Cloud Sect disciples—no mercy!"

Xiao Lin's voice surged out from the Misty Cloud Sect's mountaintop, resounding through the heavens.

The leaders of the great factions descending the mountain felt their scalps go numb when they heard those words. They wanted to know what had happened above, but this was no longer something they could involve themselves in.

"Th-that's... what is that?!"

Someone suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at the sky, and cried out in shock.

"What is it?" Hearing this, another person turned to look and likewise froze.

The peak that had once looked like frost and snow was now surrounded by one crystalline azure sword after another.

Not one sword, not ten swords, not a hundred swords...

At the very summit of that snow-white peak, the sky was filled with azure longswords—one hundred thousand of them!

Boundless sword qi roared to life, and even the Dou Qi between heaven and earth became filled with a chilling intent to kill!

"The Misty Cloud Sect..."

"What kind of monster did they provoke..."
