Sky Scale Ancient Halberd Slays a Dou Ling!

Thunder Snakes Condensed from Lightning Dou Qi Gushed Out of their bodies like lightning.

At the same time, Xiao Yan formed seals with both hands, his hand signs constantly changing. In an instant, as lightning-attributed Heaven and Earth Energy continuously gathered, thunderclouds filled the sky above the entire Xiao Family!

Faintly, that aura of destruction made everyone's skin prickle with waves of pain.

"No, this aura... Damn it, the lightning tribulation from not long ago didn't come from the Monster Beast Mountain Range. Your Xiao Family caused it!"

Mo Cheng's pupils abruptly contracted to pinpoints as he shrieked sharply, his face exceptionally grim.

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, the Dou Lings and Da Dou Shis who had come with him were instantly terrified out of their wits.

If they had known earlier that the Xiao Family possessed such reserves,

If they had known earlier that the previous lightning tribulation had been caused by the Xiao Family,

Then forget Dou Lings and Da Dou Shis like them—even Dou Emperor experts would have to avoid them!

"Earth Fiend Puppet Battle Array, Thunder Tribulation Blast!"

Facing Mo Cheng and the others' shrieks, Xiao Yan's expression turned icy. With a wave of his right hand, countless fierce Thunder Snakes surged out like a raging storm, instantly enveloping everyone.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Ah! Save me! No!"

"This Old Man was wrong! Spare this Old Man's life! This Old Man is willing to submit!"

"You damned little bastard! The Misty Cloud Sect won't let you go!"

The Thunder Snakes gathered into a storm, as though the ancient Thunder God had overturned his cup. Under the amplification of seventy-two Third-tier Battle Qi Puppets comparable to Peak Great Dou Shis, the ultimate force of destruction raged madly.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

A few breaths later, the thunderstorm gradually dissipated. Fourteen Da Dou Shis had all turned into charcoal, collapsing onto the ground, their identities indistinguishable.

The Da Dou Shis' unique ability to summon Battle Qi Armor could not allow them to survive in such a brutal environment.

Cough, cough, cough...

Among the charred corpses, only three Dou Lings could barely remain standing, though they were in an equally miserable state.

Mo Cheng and Elder Wang, the Peak Dou Ling, were relatively better off.

Meng Li, who had the fewest methods yet charged at the front, suffered terribly. His entire left arm had vanished at the shoulder, and the wound was blackened charcoal, trailing wisps of green smoke.

This was only because Xiao Yan had deliberately restrained the Battle Array's power. Otherwise, these three Dou Lings would have died as well!

"You wanted to destroy my Xiao Family, but I'm afraid you won't get your wish."

Xiao Yan glanced back without controlling the Puppets to finish off the defeated. His voice was indifferent, without the slightest ripple.

To him, fourteen Da Dou Shis who could once have ruled Wutan City were no more than ants. Their deaths meant nothing.

"Boy of the Xiao Family, leave some room in all things, so we may meet again in the future! I am Meng Li, Vice Commander of Zhen Gui Pass. I have the Imperial Family behind me. Does your Xiao Family dare defy the will of the world and offend both the Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect?"

"If you stop now, there is still room to turn things around. Remember, more friends mean more paths!"

Feeling the threat of death, the severely injured Meng Li grasped at straws and brought out his backers, attempting to threaten the Xiao Family.

Yet he failed to notice how ugly his two companions' expressions had become.

Idiot!

Mo Cheng cursed inwardly.

Their faces had already been completely torn apart, yet he still held onto wishful thinking?

If the Xiao Family feared this and that, would they have offended the Misty Cloud Sect?

Besides, he was an important general appointed by the Imperial Family, holding military authority over a vital border stronghold—yet he had colluded with the Misty Cloud Sect?

How did he dare say something like that openly?

Although he had once been an elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, under the Great Elder's arrangements, he had already used a ruse of self-inflicted suffering to defect from the Misty Cloud Sect and join the empire's army!

"Hehe, so you're an imperial general. I thought you were a dog of the Misty Cloud Sect."

"However, this dog of yours seems to have betrayed its master. Offend the Jia Ma Imperial Family? No, no, no. Hand your head to Jia Xing Tian, and he'll be thanking my Xiao Family instead!"

Xiao Yan chuckled as he looked at Meng Li like he was an idiot.

The Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect clearly feared one another and were faintly opposed. If Jia Xing Tian learned that there was actually a general close to the Misty Cloud Sect within the empire's army...

Hehe, Xiao Yan had just gone up Misty Cloud Mountain not long ago. Before long, he would probably bring the Imperial Family's guardian Magical Beast there for another visit!

"Yan'er, why waste words with this thrice-surnamed slave? Let your father negotiate with him. Lion Mountain Split!"

Boom!

Such a huge disturbance naturally alerted Xiao Zhan and the four elders. With a shout, a fire-red Battle Qi lion came charging over and directly smashed the severely injured Meng Li into a cloud of blood mist.

"Xiao Zhan, Xiao Han, the Xiao Family Three Elders."

"Three Da Dou Shis and one Peak Dou Ling... The Xiao Family has hidden itself deeply indeed!"

Elder Wang's eyes trembled as he stared in horror at the five figures slowly emerging from the darkness. Feeling their powerful auras, his expression became incredibly vivid.

No wonder Yun Lei, the Jia Lie Family, and the Ao Ba Family had all suffered crushing defeats.

The Xiao Family's true strength was actually this formidable!

When they withdrew from the Imperial Capital several years ago, they had only shown four Da Dou Shis—they had been playing weak to prey on the strong;

The two Dou Lings and three Da Dou Shis they had Displayed Strength with last month had also been playing weak to prey on the strong!

Damn it, who knew whether the strength they were displaying now was merely the tip of the iceberg?

"What?! An Eight-Star Dou Ling? A Peak Dou Ling?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

No, a Small Family holed up in Wutan City had hidden such formidable strength?

If my Mo Family had so many experts, would there still be any so-called Four Great Families of Northeast Province?

We would have unified the Northeast long ago!

You're this strong, so why didn't you say so earlier?!

"You look familiar. So it's you, Wang Que, you old immortal. You destroyed this Old Man's dantian back then. That grudge should be repaid today!"

"Clan Leader, leave Mo Cheng to yourselves. This old fellow shall be handled by this Old Man!"

Xiao Han stared fixedly at Elder Wang, the Peak Dou Ling, and suddenly shouted.

"So it was that scum who took advantage of the chaos. Back then, he was only a Five-Star Dou Ling. I never expected that after more than ten years, he would now have one foot in the Dou Wang realm."

"Fine. Let Fourth Uncle take action and settle this grudge."

Xiao Zhan's expression shifted in realization as he recalled the Xiao Family's flight and migration years ago. His gaze instantly turned icy.

Old and new grudges combined—this old bastard could not be allowed to live!

"Sky Scale Ancient Halberd, come!"

As his shout fell, Xiao Han clenched his palm, and the Sky Scale Ancient Halberd appeared in his hand. He slammed it heavily onto the ground, and the powerful force directly cracked the earth with several fissures.

Boom!

The next instant, Yuan Li Qi Gushed Out. Gripping the Sky Scale Ancient Halberd, he rose directly into the air, stepping through empty space as he walked toward Wang Que one step at a time. His powerful aura was utterly unrestrained, making the air itself churn violently.

"Walking through the air? Xiao Han! You're a Dou Zong?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you be a Dou Zong!?"

Seeing Xiao Han walk freely through the sky without summoning Dou Qi Wings, Wang Que's face went deathly pale.

"You talk too much. Go tell this Old Man's halberd shaft!"

"Sky Scale Halberd Technique, Fish Scale Halberd!"

Origin Energy roared from Xiao Han's dantian, crazily pouring into the Sky Scale Ancient Halberd in his hand. His face flushed red as his furious roar echoed throughout Wutan City.

Boom!

A crimson radiance burst from the ancient halberd. Then the crimson light Condensed into form before shooting forth!

As the crimson light surged, it resembled a Red Scale Giant Fish with a ferocious visage!

A Superior Martial Art, the Sky Scale Halberd Technique!
