Although Xiang Tian's face was concealed, Xiao Yu could clearly sense the mockery in his gaze.
He felt humiliated and enraged. What gave him the right to look at him like that? Just because he was at the Deity Transformation Realm? Though the Xiao Family's influence had gradually waned, they still had plenty of Deity Transformation Realm cultivators. What gave him the right?!
"I advise you to hand the Vajra Sarira over to me. I can pretend none of this ever happened."
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth. It was already a foregone conclusion that the Ancestor's spiritual radiance was gone, but the Vajra Sarira absolutely could not fall into this man's hands.
"I obtained it with my own abilities. Why should I give it to you?"
Xiang Tian sneered. Then he looked at the others and called out loudly, "That brat harmed you all so badly. Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?"
The people on the ground looked at one another, but in the end, no one spoke and no one stepped forward.
They had no choice. If it had been the Xiao Family of old, they could not afford to provoke them. Now, it was better to avoid trouble where possible. All they wanted was to leave this cursed place safely.
Looking at those spineless fellows below, Xiang Tian sighed. Well, that was how the world worked—lean against a great tree, and life became incomparably comfortable.
"I'll say it one more time. I am from the Xiao Family, a descendant of Xiao Tianzheng. Don't play with fire and burn yourself!"
Xiao Yu continued threatening him. The Xiao Tianzheng he spoke of was the legendary Golden Immortal clan head of the Xiao Family.
Xiang Tian let out a long breath. He was starting to get irritated. He raised a hand, and Xiao Yu was drawn toward him. Then Xiang Tian clenched his fist, and Xiao Yu immediately let out a miserable scream.
No one dared to watch, because Xiao Yu's entire body twisted in a grotesque manner, like a person with all four limbs intact being compressed and shrunk before their very eyes. It was truly terrifying.
"Ah—ah!"
Xiao Yu's shrieks would not stop, because this was pain he had never experienced before.
"With that little endurance, you still dared boast that you'd lead the Xiao Family back to its peak? Do descendants of great clans like you all take yourselves far too seriously?"
Xiang Tian truly looked down on this sort of trash. First Ding Yang, then Ning Rong, Sinan Yao, and now another Xiao Yu had popped up.
If you acted this way because you had invincible backing behind you, Xiang Tian could understand it. But when there was clearly nothing behind you, yet you still swelled with such arrogance, that was simply inexcusable.
If their identities were switched, Xiang Tian believed that with their kind of conduct, they would stab a hole from the Nine Heavens all the way down to the First Heaven!
Once Xiang Tian released his restraints, Xiao Yu trembled all over. The lackeys behind him wanted to support him, yet did not dare, afraid they would follow in his footsteps.
Rumble...
Heaven and earth shook once more, and cracks slowly began spreading across the sky. At the sight, Xiao Yu finally smiled, tears from the pain still glistening in his eyes.
"I don't care who you are. Today, you are dead without a doubt! The Vajra Sarira can only belong to our Xiao Family!"
As the surrounding scenery shattered and vanished piece by piece, everyone discovered that they were once again atop Wu Mountain. Only, there were now many more people around them.
"Uncle, the Vajra Sarira is in that man's hands!"
The moment Xiao Yu saw the middle-aged man, joy surged in his heart. Trembling, he raised a hand and pointed at Xiang Tian.
Upon hearing "Vajra Sarira," Xiao Long, who had been waiting outside for so long, suddenly had his eyes light up.
Before, it had only been a rumor, and the Xiao Family had not paid it much mind. Furthermore, to conceal it from others, they had disguised this place as a small secret realm. The Xiao Family had made no major moves, not even sending a single Deity Transformation Realm cultivator.
But earlier, they had received Xiao Yu's message saying that a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator had appeared. That had already exceeded their expectations. To be safe, he had brought people here, yet he had never expected the rumor of the Vajra Sarira to be true.
Xiao Long looked at Xiang Tian, his heart surging with excitement. The item in this man's hand was worth far more than an immortal treasure!
"Who are you? Hurry up and hand over the supreme treasure of my Xiao Family!"
Xiao Long stared at Xiang Tian and bellowed deeply. He was in the Void Shattering Realm, and he was confident that dealing with a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator would be effortless. Besides, their side had brought three Void Shattering Realm cultivators.
Xiang Tian looked at them, mockery still in his eyes. "This is an opportunity I seized for myself. You say a few words, and it becomes your Xiao Family's supreme treasure? Aren't you being too shameless?"
The fellows who had escaped with their lives were all dumbfounded upon hearing Xiang Tian's words.
It was one thing that you had beaten their Ancestor to death, but now Void Shattering Realm experts had arrived, and your mouth was still this stubborn. Just who gave you such courage?
Xiao Long sneered. "Playing tricks and acting mysterious? In that case, I'll have to do it myself!"
With that, he directly slipped into the void, intending to use the Void Shattering Realm's unique methods to crush Xiang Tian.
Yet Xiang Tian simply spun and swept out with a kick. Under everyone's wide-eyed gazes, Xiao Long was sent flying backward.
"What, can Void Shattering Realm cultivators do nothing but burrow into the void and play rats?"
Xiao Long had no time to consider how Xiang Tian had seen through his movements, because as soon as Xiang Tian finished speaking, he threw a punch straight at him.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Xiao Long hardened his heart and met the blow with a punch of his own. He refused to believe that the body of a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator—even if he was a body cultivator—could overcome him before absolute strength!
But what he had not expected was that Xiang Tian's fist was too hard, like a lump of iron. It sent Xiao Long tumbling through the air several times.
"Attack together! There's something strange about this guy!"
Xiao Long's fist trembled slightly. With a loud shout, the other two Void Shattering Realm cultivators, who had long been poised to strike, shot forward and swung their weapons at Xiang Tian.
"Uncle, be careful! The Vajra Sarira is very fragile—don't let it break!"
Xiao Yu shouted a reminder from below, making the three of them even more troubled. The strength behind their attacks weakened considerably.
But Xiang Tian would not go easy on them. He directly evaded one man's slash, then slapped him so hard that he became dizzy and spat out several broken teeth.
This...
That man was completely stunned. How long had it been since he had been slapped? The sensation gave him a dazed feeling, as if he had returned to his youth.
But once he came to his senses, he felt utterly humiliated. A dignified Void Shattering Realm expert had been slapped in the face by a mere Spirit Transformation junior in front of so many people—where was his dignity now?!
"You little bastard, I'll split you in two!"
With that, the man directly threw out the greatsword in his hand and formed hand seals.
In an instant, the greatsword expanded until it was as enormous as a pavilion. Standing beside it, a person looked as tiny as an ant.
Everyone watched as the greatsword cleaved down at Xiang Tian. Every one of them thought Xiang Tian was doomed beyond doubt.
Yet what happened next was something they could not accept no matter what.
A man had used brute force to forcibly bend and crush a spirit-iron greatsword dozens of times larger than himself?
They would rather gouge out their own eyeballs than witness such a scene.
Was that even human?!
Xiang Tian carried the greatsword he had twisted into a ball and looked at the man. "You might not be able to split me, but I can definitely split you!"
