Annihilating the Mo Family
"With your mere Five-Star Dou Ling strength, how dare you speak so arrogantly in front of me?"
Hai Bodong scoffed upon hearing this. If he hadn't wanted to avoid revealing his true strength, he would have already frozen this ignorant old man into an ice sculpture.
"You mere Dou Ling dare to trespass into my Mo Clan? In that case, you might as well stay here!"
A wild, beast-like rage flashed in Mo Cheng's eyes. He slammed his foot into the ground and shot forward, charging towards Hai Bodong.
"Laugh."
Hai Bodong smiled, a chill emanating from his body, and stepped forward to meet him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan, using his Ice Phantom Body, escaped the battlefield unnoticed and headed towards the Secret Chamber he had discovered.
"It's quite well hidden."
Beside an artificial hill, Xiao Yuan stroked his chin, looking at the artificial hill in front of him that showed no flaws whatsoever, and said with great interest.
The artificial hill looks quite natural, but upon closer inspection with Xiao Yuan's soul power, one can discover that beneath it lies an irregular passage. This passage is perfectly integrated with the artificial hill, so much so that it cannot be detected even when standing right in front of it! Only by viewing it from a god-like perspective with one's soul power can one discern a few clues.
Of course, under Xiao Yuan's perception of the Listening to the Wind's Whisper, this clue would undoubtedly be magnified a lot! Xiao Yuan reached out and pressed on a seemingly ordinary protrusion on the artificial mountain, and then twisted it with a little force.
With a soft, mechanical sound, the ground between the artificial hills in front of him slowly cracked open, revealing a passage just wide enough for one person to pass through. The walls around the neat steps were inlaid with Moonlight Stone, which were quite eye-catching.
After sensing for a moment and confirming that there was no danger below, Xiao Yuan went down without hesitation.
Although the passage was narrow, it was not long or steep compared to the passage in the Mountain Cave in the Monster Mountain Range that Xiao Yuan had once walked through.
When he descended to a depth of about five meters underground, Xiao Yuan, who had been walking quietly, saw a circular hall.
Inside the hall, there were seven other passageways, from which a faint, fishy stench quietly wafted.
Upon smelling the nauseating odor, Xiao Yuan frowned and sized up the guards and those who appeared to be in charge.
Most of them are at least Five Star Fighter Dou Zhe (Fighter), and there are also some Dou Shi) among them.
However, the absence of Da Dou Shi in the hall is actually good news.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and the next moment, the Dou Qi from both of his Qi Mansion erupted simultaneously. His figure floated directly to the center of the hall, and before anyone could react, his figure began to spin rapidly like a top.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of sharp, cone-shaped cyan whirlwinds shot out, with wisps of black and white flames rising from them. Without the slightest deviation, they precisely pierced through the throats of these people.
Mid-level Xuan-rank Dou Technique, Thousand Wind Spears!
The next moment, black and white flames engulfed them all, and after a slight hissing sound, they turned into ashes on the ground.
Whew! Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after landing. Only after becoming Da Dou Shi could he unleash such an attack in an instant!
Moreover, this places rather stringent requirements on soul power, requiring the ability to condense the Heavenly Flames in an instant and perfectly intertwine it with the Wind Attribute Dou Qi, so that they complement each other.
Fortunately, the final result was quite good; without making a sound, a large number of guards were eliminated.
Next, it's time to rescue Qing Lian! Xiao Yuan formed hand seals and used Listening to the Wind's Whisper again, finally locking onto a passage with the densest yin and cold aura.
A gentle breeze swept by, Xiao Yuan's figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
Deep within the passage was an extremely thick Mystic Iron Gate, which even a powerful expert at the Da Dou Shi level could not break through.
As Xiao Yuan's soul power swept over it, he immediately felt a sense of confidence.
An ordinary Da Dou Shi Master might not be able to open this iron gate silently, but Xiao Yuan was different.
With his Heavenly Flames, he could easily melt this iron gate!
With a slight lift of his arm, black and white flames surged forth, the terrifying heat causing the iron gate to melt instantly! Even so, Xiao Yuan still felt that the speed was rather slow.
So he stretched out his other hand, and wood-attribute Dou Qi surged out, flowing into the Heavenly Flames to aid its combustion.
Unlike the Fire Attribute Douqi of ordinary alchemists that contains wood element, Xiao Yuan is injecting a large amount of Wood Attribute Douqi at this moment, and without any control over it.
It was entirely for the purpose of raising the temperature of the Heavenly Flames to an even more extreme level.
With this simple and brutal operation, the iron gate was quickly melted into a pool of water.
However, Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed immediately, and he rushed over. His figure in mid-air was like a soaring eagle, with a fierce momentum. He delivered a flying knee, which dented the sternum of a person in the room, sending him flying backward while spitting blood!
"Who goes there!"
Upon seeing this, his companion was immediately startled and instinctively asked a question.
In just a short moment, he defeated a Dou Shi, and even now, no one has raised an alarm. This person's strength should not be underestimated.
Realizing this, he didn't dare to go up and fight head-on. Instead, he quickly retreated to create distance and then prepared to sound the alarm.
However, the next moment, he was horrified to find that a blue figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, its long and powerful hand reaching out like a snake's tongue, pinching the sound he was about to utter.
Immediately afterwards, the blue figure twisted his hand with sudden force, and after a crisp cracking sound, black and white flames erupted, engulfing him completely.
"Laugh!"
At this moment, a rather powerful aura suddenly appeared, and behind Xiao Yuan, there came the sound of wind being broken.
Nine- Dou Shi!
Sensing the intensity of the aura behind him, Xiao Yuan twisted his waist, and his azure Dou Qi condensed into an azure vortex on his clenched fist. In the center of the vortex, faint black and white flames flickered.
Profound Tier Low Grade Dou Technique, Azure Wind Whirlwind Fist! Boom! As the azure whirlwind in his hand was fully condensed, Xiao Yuan's body had also completely turned around.
Immediately afterwards, he stomped his feet hard on the ground, the power rising from his feet, passing through his waist, down his spine, into his arms, and finally erupting from his fist! The surging power, along with the azure vortex imbued with Yin Yang Dual Flames, blasted out together, colliding with the attacker's fist.
Click!
Immediately afterwards, a sickeningly loud sound of bones breaking rang out.
Xiao Yuan's attack shattered the attacker's Dou Qi with overwhelming force. The violent power combined with the cyan vortex, blasting along the arm all the way to the chest, even crushing the heart inside!
Thud! The mangled body fell to the ground with a dull thud.
In the blink of an eye, only Xiao Yuan remained standing in the room.
Who exactly are you?
After Xiao Yuan defeated the two people in the blink of an eye, the unlucky guy who had his sternum shattered by Xiao Yuan's flying knee finally recovered and asked weakly with a look of fear and confusion.
"Laugh!"
But Xiao Yuan had no intention of answering his question. He casually flicked out a cyan wind cone, piercing through his heart, and then headed straight for the corner of the room.
There, a petite and frail figure was blindfolded, shackled, and locked to a bed.
On her exposed fair and tender arms, faint blue scales could be seen.
In a few quick steps, Xiao Yuan arrived at the bedside. Wind Attribute energy condensed at the edge of his palm. With a swift slash, he split the shackles in two, without harming Qing Lian in the slightest.
However, the shackles still left red marks on Qing Lian's fair and delicate skin.
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly upon seeing this, then immediately scooped Qing Lian into his arms, removed the blindfold, and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the familiar, bewildered yet fearful eyes. He then said softly:
"It's good that you're alright."
Upon hearing this, Qing Lian blinked, the confusion in her eyes slowly dissipating. Her delicate nose twitched slightly as she caught a whiff of that long-lost, familiar scent. She carefully pressed herself against Xiao Yuan's chest, looked down into the hood, and saw his familiar, handsome face. A look of joy immediately appeared on her face.
"Young Master?"
Hearing the girl in his arms call out, Xiao Yuan nodded.
"Do they still have the power to protect themselves?"
But then, his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, young master. I'm too weak. The Fire Spirit Snake is also seriously injured and can no longer fight."
Upon hearing this, Qing Lian's face showed shame, and she spoke with a rather dejected tone.
"It's alright, with me here, no one can touch you!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan gently comforted her, then put his arm around Qing Lian with one hand, formed a hand seal with the other, and walked towards the outside.
As the hand seals changed, the Dou Qi within the five Qi Mansion began to flow in once again.
Having gained experience from being infused with Dou Qi by Medusa and reaching the Dou Huang Realm, and with his body's ability to withstand it, Xiao Yuan can now completely withstand even if the power of the Da Dou Shi level from five Qi Mansion is simultaneously poured into one Qi Mansion for a short period of time.
Therefore, with each step Xiao Yuan took, his aura would become stronger.
When he arrived in the hall, the aura he emitted was almost comparable to that of some newly-entered Dou Ling experts! This unfamiliar yet powerful aura immediately alerted everyone else in the underground Secret Chamber.
"Who are you, daring to trespass into the Forbidden Area of my Mo Clan!"
A middle-aged man shouted sternly.
"You don't need to know who I am. My maid was kidnapped by your Mo Clan, so naturally I've come to demand an explanation. I've heard you enjoy conducting human experiments, haven't you? In a moment, I'll shove your heads, one by one, into your asses!"
Upon hearing this Xiao Yuan sneered, and then the Azure Douqi in his hand rapidly condensed.
The next moment, the space in front of him rippled slightly, and countless deep blue Wind Blade, each several meters long, appeared out of thin air. Then, they were connected end to end, like a ring of blades, and spun out in a high-speed spiral.
"Wind Splitting Whirlwind Dance!"
The terrifying Wind Blade spread out like the scythe of death.
Confined to the small underground space, the Mo Clan family members, who couldn't fly, had absolutely no way to avoid Xiao Yuan's terrifying attack.
Of course, some astute individuals had already crouched down and were using their own methods to prepare to withstand this wave of attacks.
After all, this looked like a large-scale attack, and with such a large range, the damage should theoretically be smaller! However, while their attention was drawn to the Wind Splitting Whirlwind Dance released by Xiao Yuan, they failed to notice that the scattered black and white flames on the ground, driven by the gale, were gradually growing into a raging inferno.
When the Mo Clan family members realized something was wrong, the flames had already enveloped their feet and were rapidly spreading upwards.
So they hurriedly rushed towards the exit passage where Xiao Yuan had come down.
However, this very movement puts one within the range of the Wind Splitting Whirlwind Dance's attack.
Then came a series of screams, one after another.
The smell of burning flesh and blood began to fill the air.
Of course, there were also those who ran fast and were almost at the exit steps.
But the next moment, Xiao Yuan's voice rang out like a demon from hell. "Four Direction Wind Wall!"
With a chilling sound, an invisible wall of wind appeared in the underground Secret Chamber, sealing off all the passageways and exits.
Immediately afterwards, the underground hall transformed into a lava hell, with black and white flames distorting and steaming the air.
A moment later, the screams gradually subsided, and only two figures remained in the hall.
Qing Lian showed no sign of discomfort. This was not because Xiao Yuan deliberately controlled the temperature of the Heavenly Flames around her, but because the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and the cold power within her body were protecting her.
After killing all of them, Xiao Yuan cautiously used the Listening to the Wind's Whisper to probe the underground Secret Chamber again. Only after confirming that there were no more Mo Clan family members left in the secret chamber did he feel relieved and lead Qing Lian towards the surface.
As for what was inside those Secret Chamber, Xiao Yuan did not go in to see.
Even the information that Listening to the Wind's Whisper relayed was enough to make Xiao Yuan feel extremely nauseous.
Many of the test subjects were living people, and judging from the injuries on their bodies, it was clear that organ removal had been performed on them while they were still alive.
Such inhumane acts are truly infuriating.
Even though Xiao Yuan had gone out to train and killed quite a few magical beasts and opponents during these days, he had never seen anyone in such a miserable state as the Mo Clan in the Secret Chamber.
That's why he used such ruthless methods before.
It wasn't just because they had designs on Qing Lian, but also because the beastly behavior of the Mo Clan was truly outrageous! When Xiao Yuan brought Qing Lian out of the passage, he was immediately attracted by Hai Bodong's powerful aura.
"An unfamiliar Dou Emperor aura?"
Xiao Yuan sensed it carefully for a moment, then frowned.
