Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!

Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!

"Yuan!"

Xiao Zhan's face immediately darkened. He condensed Douqi once more, preparing to unleash Lion Mountain Split.

The three elders also roared angrily, "Gale Bi, how dare you!"

But Gale Bi naturally paid no heed to those noisy voices. He ignored the worsening internal injuries caused by forcibly driving his already chaotic Douqi, his eyes fixed solely on Xiao Yuan's still-confident smile.

"Brother!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yuan, preparing to evade Gale Bi's final desperate counterattack.

"It's fine!"

Xiao Yuan suddenly grinned. With a thought, the Douqi within his remaining three Qi Gathering Palaces immediately poured into the Black Water Qi Gathering Palaces.

Then, Xiao Yuan released a gentle force from his palm and pushed Xiao Yan away. Immediately afterward, his hands rapidly formed seals as he casually cast an Ice Mirror before himself.

Amid swirling black mist, a translucent black ice mirror appeared.

Gale Bi's savage face was reflected upon its surface, while Xiao Yuan's figure was hidden behind it. Black frigid mist spread through the surroundings, creating an illusory feeling.

"Crack!"

Watching the ice mirror before him, clearly less solid than before, shatter with ease and explode into black ice crystals that filled the sky, the already ferocious smile on Gale Bi's face became even more twisted.

"Die, you little bas—"

His words abruptly stopped. Behind the shattered mirror, a mocking curve rose at Xiao Yuan's lips, while an aura comparable to that of a Dou Shi erupted from his body.

The countless ice crystals reflected Gale Bi's comical expression, one tangled with shock and disbelief. Every shard seemed like a silent mockery of him.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan had completed his final hand seal. The black mist before him gathered together, forming crescent-shaped ice blades that revolved around his body.

In an instant, the condensed ice blades connected with one another, forming a spiraling storm of ice blades.

"Die, you old Gale dog!"

Xiao Yuan shouted softly. He then slid backward atop a thin layer of black ice that had long since formed beneath his feet, while his hand seals changed.

Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique, Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!

The black storm of ice blades swept directly toward Gale Bi, who had no time to stop himself and plunged headfirst into it.

As the ice-blade storm completely engulfed Gale Bi's body, a shrill scream rang out from within for a single instant before abruptly cutting off.

Xiao Yuan's body swayed where he stood. Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward and supported him. Not far away, Xiao Yu pressed together her red lips, which had parted slightly in shock at the terrifying attack Xiao Yuan had unleashed, and hurried over.

"Brother/Xiao Yuan, how are you?"

Their voices rang out almost simultaneously.

"I'm fine. I used a secret technique. This time, I'm really exhausted!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and shook his head, steadying himself.

At this moment, the Douqi in all five of his Qi Gathering Palaces was pitifully sparse, and waves of weakness rose from his internal organs.

This was his first time using the secret technique of Qi Gathering Palace infusion. Its effect was quite good, but the strain on his internal organs was still a little too great. It seemed he would need to train his physical constitution in the future. Cultivating Douqi alone was not enough.

After probing him, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly.

This counted as exhaustion? His whole body was clearly drained dry! "Brother, that was far too reckless!"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan helplessly.

"Hehe, I mainly wanted to test the secret technique's effects. Otherwise, I could have simply run away. I definitely wouldn't have fought him head-on."

Xiao Yuan smiled as he explained.

Xiao Yu's lips moved slightly, but she ultimately said nothing. Instead, she silently placed her jade-like hand against Xiao Yuan's back, using her gentle Water Attribute Douqi to restore his strength.

Comfortable!

Feeling that moistening Douqi within his body, Xiao Yuan's complexion improved somewhat.

"You brat, you've really been hiding your abilities!"

Xiao Zhan came before Xiao Yuan and spoke in a somewhat strange tone.

"Uh..."

Xiao Yuan simply closed his eyes and pretended he was about to collapse.

"Enough, enough. Are you still putting on an act in front of your father? You have a mysterious teacher guiding you too, don't you? Or perhaps you and Yan'er have the same teacher?"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan laughed and scolded him before making his "well-reasoned," "utterly confident" deduction.

Xiao Yuan remained silent.

Seeing Xiao Yuan tacitly admit it, Xiao Zhan smiled again, then stepped aside to reveal the scene behind him.

The three elders had all widened their eyes as they stared at Xiao Yuan.

The ground was crisscrossed with ravines carved by the ice-blade storm. Gale Bi's body was covered in wounds, yet no blood flowed from them. His entire body was encased in black ice that glimmered with an eerie sheen beneath the sunlight.

The mercenaries watching nearby had long since been dumbfounded. The way they looked at Xiao Yuan was as though they were looking at a monster.

How the hell could anyone call him a Dou Zhe? Even a Dou Shi shouldn't have such absurd combat strength!

"The effect is pretty good!"

Looking at Gale Bi, who had become an ice sculpture on the ground, Xiao Yuan felt both surprised and excited.

It was his first time using the Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique, Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill, and its effects were indeed satisfying enough.

Though he had killed a severely wounded Da Dou Shi, that was still a Da Dou Shi! In Wutan City, someone like that was a top-tier expert.

One could not be too greedy.

"It's more than pretty good. The Gale Family is finished now. Without Gale Bi, the Gale Family's two remaining elders are no match for the three of us and the clan leader. From now on, Wutan City's markets will belong entirely to the Xiao Clan!"

The Great Elder came over with a beaming smile. He truly found Xiao Yuan more pleasing to the eye the longer he looked at him.

His granddaughter really did have good judgment. Otherwise, wouldn't he have missed out on such a promising prospect?

"In that case, Father and the three elders will have to deal with the Gale Family's remaining two elders as quickly as possible. Don't give them a chance to contact the Oba Family. Since we've done this, we must finish it in one push.

If they join forces with the Oba Family, it will be much harder to deal with them in the days ahead!"

With an arm draped over Xiao Yan's shoulders, Xiao Yuan spoke with a solemn expression.

Xiao Zhan and the three elders were somewhat surprised by Xiao Yuan's decisive proposal. But after exchanging glances, they naturally understood that a surprise attack now would certainly catch the Gale Family off guard! Once they absorbed the Gale Family's strength, within three years, the Xiao Clan could drive the Oba Family out of Wutan City. From then on, the Xiao Clan would stand as the sole dominant power in Wutan City! This would be of immense significance to the Xiao Clan's future development.

Xiao Zhan was not an indecisive man. He immediately summoned a clan guard and ordered him to notify the Xiao Clan's fighting forces to begin assembling, preparing to take down the Gale Family in one stroke.
