Ruthless Person Xiao Yuan

"Uncle Han, please take your men down here. I'll take care of things here."

Xiao Yuan glanced at the densely packed figures in the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion and said calmly.

Are you alone?

Although Han Chi knew that Xiao Yuan was powerful, he did not expect him to be so confident. Even when facing three Dou Zong, several Dou Emperor, and Dou Wang level experts, he was not flustered at all.

"Uncle Han, don't worry, I'm enough on my own!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, then took a step, stepping into the void, and ascended the steps.

"You're Xiao Yuan?"

Three old men stood in the sky, clearly the three elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

"The three elders have come all this way just to find me, haven't they? Why do you still need to ask me to confirm your identity after we meet?" Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this, then changed his tone to sarcastically, "Are you blind?"

In the sky, the white-robed young man stood with his hands behind his back. Any raindrops that entered within a few feet of him would instantly vanish into nothingness. From a distance, it looked as if an invisible dome was enveloping him. His calm voice also slowly drifted down from the sky.

"By order of the elder, capture and kill Xiao Yuan. Move out!"

At this moment, a man dressed in blue, who was leading the group below, suddenly turned cold and shouted sharply.

"Yes!"

As soon as the shout fell, more than a dozen figures with wings on their backs suddenly shot out from the surrounding buildings. With a flick of their arms, more than a dozen silver spears appeared. The spears trembled, cutting through the rain, and a sharp gust of wind shot straight at Xiao Yuan!

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile. With a flick of his wrists, a surge of dark golden flames erupted forth, the terrifying heat instantly evaporating all the rain and metal within a radius of several dozen feet! With a flick of his fingers, the dark golden flames immediately split apart, transforming into numerous dark golden fire arrows that surged forth across the sky!

The dark golden flames that transformed into Heavenly Flames arrows were incredibly fast, appearing before the Wind and Thunder Pavilion experts in the blink of an eye. The intense heat startled them, and before they could even attack, the fire arrows shot out like lightning at an unstoppable speed, piercing their chests. Immediately, muffled groans rang out as many figures plummeted from the sky, landing on the ground, clutching their chests and groaning incessantly.

A moment later, those Dou Wang expert were all turned into fire, letting out chilling screams, and were burned to ashes under the pouring rain! Seeing Xiao Yuan casually kill more than a dozen Dou Wang Stage experts from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, some exclamations of surprise rang out in Tianbei City. Such a calm and collected method was something that even some Dou Huang expert did not possess. This Xiao Yuan truly deserves to be called a super ruthless person who killed Dou Zong!

"The people of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion are nothing special. You three elders really underestimate me by letting these trash test my strength! You should do it yourselves."

With a casual slaying of over a dozen Wind and Thunder Pavilion experts, Xiao Yuan's sharp gaze suddenly shot towards the sky. His powerful and cold shout, even through the heavy rain, still resounded throughout the entire Tianbei City.

"Since the three of us became elders of the North Pavilion, you are the first junior whom we have worked together to capture."

A faint voice, tinged with a hint of thunder, slowly rose into the air. Suddenly, the rain curtain in the sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, and three old men walked slowly through the void.

As Xiao Yuan watched the three old men approaching through the air, his pupils shrank slightly. The auras of these three men were almost all stronger than that of Shen Yun. According to his estimation, they were probably all Five Star Dou Zong. In fact, the old man with the silver eyebrows was probably at the peak of the Five Star Dou Zong level.

Three Five Star Dou Zong were dispatched in one move, and this was only the force of the North Pavilion. If all four pavilions were gathered together, how powerful would their strength be? The Wind and Thunder Pavilion has indeed become a top force in the Central State, and it is not just a name.

"I presume the three of you are the so-called Wind, Thunder, and Lightning Three Elders, and Lightning? The Wind and Thunder North Pavilion certainly thinks highly of me."

Xiao Yuan said slowly.

"To be able to kill Shen Yun, you are certainly no ordinary person. The fact that the three of us came together is not excessive."

Upon hearing this, one of the elderly men with long silver eyebrows spoke calmly, his words carrying a hint of thunder, as if he were a god, making those who heard him feel involuntarily oppressed.

"That's his own fault, he can't blame me."

Xiao Yuan responded with a faint smile.

"You possess the power of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement and have killed an elder of my Wind and Thunder North Pavilion. This crime is unforgivable. However, considering that you are a junior, if you return to the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion with us, the Pavilion Master may spare your life out of mercy."

An old man with lightning bolts painted on his robes shouted coldly.

"You should all possess the cultivation method for the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body, right? Hand it over to me, and I'll spare your lives today. Otherwise, you'll all die at my hands, just like Shen Yun."

Xiao Yuan sneered.

"Why waste words with this brat? Let's capture him first. The Pavilion Master said that anyone who kills someone from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion must pay the price. Capture him, cripple his Dou Qi, and imprison him permanently under the North Thunder Tower. Let outsiders know that anyone who wants to mess with someone from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in the future will have to think twice about the consequences!"

An elderly man in a green robe, a sinister glint in his eyes, said in a deep voice.

Hearing the old man's ruthless words, Xiao Yuan's expression gradually turned cold, but in his heart, there was a faint sense of excitement.

This is exactly the effect I wanted.

He was afraid these three old geezers wouldn't be ruthless enough! "Cripple my Dou Qi? You think you're worthy?"

A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's lips as he gently touched the snow-white Storage Ring with his fingers.

As the voice faded, an immense and unparalleled spiritual power surged through Xiao Yuan's arm like a tidal wave into his body.

As the immense power of his soul surged in, Xiao Yuan's aura began to rise wildly amidst the astonished gazes of the entire city. His overwhelming aura swept across the sky, even halting the torrential rain. Only when Xiao Yuan's pair of dark eyes turned a cold silver did the surge of his aura slowly come to a stop.

"Come on, who wants to be the first to die?"

Xiao Yuan's silver eyes were fixed on the Wind, Thunder, and Lightning Three Elders. His calm voice seemed to resonate deep within one's soul.

"Just as the rumors say, you have been able to increase your strength dramatically. This aura should be around the Peak Dou Zong, close to the Eight Star. It seems that you held back before. Moreover, this power is extremely pure soul power. You must have a powerful soul body within you. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to reach this level."

The long-browed old man stared intently at Xiao Yuan and said in a low voice.

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This old guy had extremely sharp eyesight and had actually seen the source of his power at a glance.

"Such strength is indeed extremely powerful. No wonder you were able to kill Shen Yun. However, it's not certain that you can leave Tianbei City today."

The old man with long eyebrows said calmly.

"Wind and Thunder North Pavilion Tiangang Hall, heed my command! Form the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Array!"

The next moment, Elder Longbrow's expression gradually turned cold, and a cold shout resounded throughout the entire city!

"Yes, sir!"

As the shout fell, respectful voices immediately echoed from all directions of Tianbei City. Then, a hissing sound resounded, and streaks of lightning, forming an octagonal shape, enveloped the area where Xiao Yuan was located.

A flash of lightning suddenly transformed into a bolt of thunder that shot into the sky, plunging into the thick dark clouds. In an instant, blinding silver light poured down, and countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, densely packed like a prison, completely enveloping the space within a hundred feet of Xiao Yuan.

"No matter where you come from, surrendering is your only option!"

Brilliant lightning slowly surged out from the three elders with long eyebrows, then transformed into a massive pillar of lightning that shot into the sky. Instantly, the dense lightning around them became countless times more intense.

"Besides this, there is only death!"

The chilling shout, amplified by the thunder, exuded a chilling murderous aura that sent shivers down one's spine!

Gazing at the lightning pouring down from all sides, Xiao Yuan slowly raised his head after a moment, looking at the thick dark clouds in the sky that were almost dyed silver. Within them, an extremely terrifying energy was gathered. It seemed that in order to capture him, the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion had really gone all out, setting up such a grand formation.

But what he wanted was for this grand formation, powerful enough to summon heavenly lightning, to appear!

The lightning flashing on Elder Longbrow's body grew stronger and stronger. He stared at Xiao Yuan and said in a deep voice, "This Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Array is the protective formation of my Wind and Thunder North Pavilion. It was formed by twenty-three Dou Huang expert and forty-six Dou Wang expert, with the three of us serving as the formation's core. If you can break through it today, your reputation, Xiao Yuan, will be renowned Northern Region of the Central Plains."

Xiao Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He slowly raised his palm, gave it a slight twist, and the massive Soul Spiral Cannon quickly took shape. Then, with a bang, it shot out, creating a distorted passage in the void along its path.

Faced with Xiao Yuan's attack in this state, the long-browed elder dared not be negligent. He changed his hand seals, and thunderclouds rolled in the sky. Then, with a loud bang, a bolt of lightning, as large as ten feet, crashed down like an angry dragon and slammed hard into the Soul Spiral Cannon.

"Bang!"

The two fierce attacks slowly dissipated, and a powerful energy wave rapidly spread out, but it naturally dissipated when it entered a distance of ten feet around Xiao Yuan and Elder Longbrow.

Xiao Yuan's gaze slowly swept over the three elders, including the one with long eyebrows. Above their heads, a pillar of lightning shot into the thundercloud. Of the three, only the elder with long eyebrows was acting as the guide for the attack. The other two seemed to have poured all their Dou Qi into the thundercloud.

"This grand formation is indeed quite mysterious."

"Heavenly Lightning Art!"

The elder with long eyebrows had a cold and stern expression. His hand seals changed rapidly, and the thunderclouds in the sky surged accordingly. In an instant, his finger suddenly pointed at Xiao Yuan.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Thunderclouds surged, and countless enormous bolts of lightning, like giant pythons, surged forth, finally sweeping down upon Xiao Yuan. The sheer force of the attack was enough to make anyone tremble with fear.

Xiao Yuan lightly stomped his foot, and dark golden flames surged from his body, instantly filling a space of several dozen feet in radius. As the flames roared, they directly condensed into a huge fire wolf. It let out a long howl to the sky, opened its huge mouth, and the suction force surged, and the lightning bolts that shot towards it were actually swallowed up by it.

The lightning was completely devoured by the fire wolf, and then muffled thunder rumbled from the fire wolf's massive body. Its form also became somewhat faint, but it had indeed dissolved the lightning.

"Go!"

Xiao Yuan flicked his finger, and a fierce look immediately appeared in the eyes of the fire wolf. It moved its four legs and directly crossed the sky, charging towards Elder Longbrow and the others.

Before the fire wolf even arrived, the intense heat alone caused the three elders with long eyebrows to slightly change their expressions, saying solemnly, "What kind of Heavenly Flames is this, that it is so terrifying?"

"Heavenly Lightning Cut!"

As the sharp shout fell, a dazzling silver light suddenly flashed across the sky and earth. The running fire wolf paused slightly, and after a moment, it slowly broke apart from the middle, becoming illusory with a soft "poof".

In a short while, both sides were attacking and defending. It seemed calm, but it was extremely dangerous. Whether it was a lightning attack or a fire attack, as long as you were hit, the outcome would not be good. Even ordinary Dou Zong experts would probably not dare to get involved in such an extremely fierce battle.

Outside the great formation, the Han Clan members watched Xiao Yuan inside with trepidation, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The two sisters, Han Yue and Han Xue, stood behind Han Chi. Their dresses were already soaked by the heavy rain and clung tightly to their bodies, revealing their alluring curves. However, no one was in the mood to appreciate them at the moment.

The two sisters were leaning against each other, their expressions extremely solemn.

They hoped and believed that Xiao Yuan would definitely win.

"Xiao Yuan, don't waste time with them. They have a powerful formation supporting them, allowing them to unleash a continuous barrage of lightning attacks. My soul power can't stay inside you for long, so let's finish this quickly!"

The voice of Heavenly Flame Venerable suddenly rang in Xiao Yuan's mind.

"Hehe, Senior Tianhuo, listen to me, we'll do it like this later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled somewhat strangely, and then told Heavenly Flame Venerable about his plan.

"Hmm? Isn't this too risky?"

Heavenly Flame Venerable was startled upon hearing this.

"Hehe, fortune favors the bold! If you miss this opportunity, you might never see it again!"

Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Alright, you better be aware of your own limitations. If you die, it'll be two lives lost!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable said with a hint of helplessness.

"Don't worry, I'm confident!"

Xiao Yuan smiled.

After exchanging words, Xiao Yuan flew towards the great formation in the sky, his palm emitting extremely terrifying energy fluctuations, clearly intending to break the formation! However, at the same time, his aura was gradually weakening.

Seeing this, the three elders realized that this kid was about to make a desperate attack!

As a result, the hand seals of the three changed rapidly, and the fluctuations emanating from the lightning pillars rising above their heads became stronger and stronger. Receiving such a huge amount of Lightning Attribute Dou Qi, the thunderclouds in the sky, like ancient ferocious beasts lying in wait, emitted a series of deep, chilling rumbling sounds, and an extremely violent energy quickly took shape within them.

Xiao Yuan remained silent, but the energy fluctuations in his palm were powerful enough to tear apart the void. Wherever his palm passed, the silvery-white energy vibrated continuously, tearing a terrifying black scar into the space.

Upon seeing Xiao Yuan's actions, the three elders with long eyebrows changed their expressions once again. They then bit their tongues hard, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood essence, and roared, "Nine Heavens Thunder Prison, Thunder God's Wrath!"

"Boom!"

As the three shouted, a deafening explosion erupted from within the thunderclouds, and the churning gradually ceased. Then, a burst of brilliant silver light shot out, and a gigantic lightning fist, tens of meters long and entirely formed from lightning, shattered the thunderclouds and slammed down! With that single punch, the sharp sonic booms across the entire sky almost became a continuous series, crackling and popping incessantly. Even the streets on the ground collapsed with a deafening roar, revealing a huge fist imprint.

The enormous fist of lightning, carrying terrifying power, crashed down. Its force seemed to destroy almost everything in its path in an instant.

However, under the terrifying force of the fist, a figure moved forward against the current without any hindrance. The seemingly small figure carried Space Rift along its path.

Perhaps because the lightning fist had consumed too much energy, the surrounding lightning curtain had become much fainter. Thus, this earth-shattering collision came into the view of everyone in Tianbei City! Under countless horrified gazes, the enormous lightning fist finally collided with the tiny figure! In that instant, the world fell silent!

At the moment of collision, the world fell silent, and even the rain curtain that connected heaven and earth seemed to freeze in that instant!

A dazzling and blinding energy light, like a blazing sun, suddenly appeared in the sky. The intensity of the light instantly made the weather, which was slightly dark due to thunderclouds, bright and dazzling.

The intensity of this light almost surpassed that of the blazing sun high in the sky! The thunderous roar, like the howl of the Thunder God, echoed endlessly across the heavens, but the expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur.

Under the cover of intense energy light, Xiao Yuan's pupils returned to their original blackness, but within them, silvery-white lightning was reflected.

At this moment, he blocked the giant lightning fist with one hand, his whole body was enveloped in lightning, his muscles trembled constantly, and there was also a trace of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth.

However, if one looks through his body surface to his body, one will find that Xiao Yuan's body is now enveloped in lightning. The magnificent power of heavenly lightning is being guided by him to temper his physical body and strengthen his physique, eventually transforming into Azure Lightning that begins to circulate along specific meridian routes.

The previous great momentum was nothing more than a false commotion created by Heavenly Flame Venerable through his mastery of Space Power.

Xiao Yuan's true purpose was to use the power of the heavenly lightning summoned by these three people to cultivate the two powerful Dou Technique that he had never had the opportunity to successfully cultivate before:

Earth Rank Advanced Body Dou Technique: Demon Lightning Body!

Earth-rank intermediate Dou Technique, Heavenly Lightning Movement!

The cultivation of these two Dou Technique requires the power of thunder in the world. The amount of Black Demon Lightning in Xiao Yuan's body is simply not enough to cultivate these Dou Technique.

However, the heavenly lightning power attracted by these three is quite considerable. Coupled with the enhancement of their own Lightning Attribute Dou Qi, the effect is so great that it makes Xiao Yuan ecstatic.

Although this Heavenly Lightning tempering was incredibly painful, it wasn't Xiao Yuan's first time undergoing this form of cultivation, and he could withstand it! "Good lad, you're ruthless enough to yourself!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable saw Xiao Yuan's charred body, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Hehe, we wouldn't have gotten this far if we weren't ruthless!"

Xiao Yuan spat out a few words through gritted teeth, continuously guiding the power of heavenly lightning into his body to temper his physical form! At this moment, Xiao Yuan's figure was completely invisible to the outside world, but judging from the fact that the giant lightning fist had not yet landed, it seemed that they were still locked in a stalemate!

But it seems that the lightning fist has the upper hand.

As they watched the giant lightning fist gradually shrink in size but slowly descend, the hearts of the Han Clan members trembled slightly.

Xiao Yuan should be alright, right?

"Xiao Yuan."

Han Yue's palms were covered in cold sweat, and her chest felt as if a large stone was pressing on it, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Brother-in-law."

Han Xue, standing to the side, also looked worried. Her sister Han Yue's hands were covered in cold sweat, and Han Xue was no different. Please, nothing bad should happen, brother-in-law!

"Keep pushing, don't let this kid have a chance to turn the tables!"

The Elder with Long Eyebrows shouted in a deep voice.

"Um!"

The other two nodded in agreement and then poured all the remaining Dou Qi in their bodies into the thundercloud.

Thick bolts of lightning crashed down, pouring into the giant lightning fist and making its weakened energy surge back into a powerful force.

As the giant lightning fist descended from the sky, its speed gradually increased. Although its size and energy fluctuations visibly decreased during this process, it was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that Xiao Yuan, suppressed beneath it, was in grave danger! Finally, before its energy was completely exhausted, the giant lightning fist crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater filled with dark cracks. In the senses of the three elders, the scorching aura belonging to Xiao Yuan seemed to have vanished!

The three of them were in no better shape. Not only were their Dou Qi exhausted, but they had also spat out a mouthful of blood essence in order to speed up their spellcasting. Although they had suppressed Xiao Yuan, their condition was extremely poor.

The three of them quickly took out pills from their Storage Ring to restore their Dou Qi and heal their injuries, swallowed them, and immediately refined them.

Then, they slowly descended from the sky, looking at the direction where the giant lightning fist had struck, with a cold smile on their faces.

What kind of so-called prodigy? They were all suppressed by them. In the distance, Han Yue bit her lip, her face pale. Han Xue beside her had already closed her eyes, not daring to watch what was about to happen.

The long-browed elder stretched out his hand, waved his sleeve, and easily brushed away the dust that was obscuring his vision, revealing the scene inside.

The giant lightning fist gradually thinned out, revealing a shimmering silver figure standing within it. Streams of lightning power were drawn from the giant lightning fist and entered the silver figure's body.

"Not good!"

Upon seeing this, the three elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion immediately changed their expressions!
