The Fall of the Jia Lie Family

Looking at Jia Lie Bi lying on the ground, Xiao Jin fell into deep thought, wondering whether sparing Jia Lie Bi before had been right or wrong.

To be honest, he truly did not want to become a murderous demon who killed at the slightest provocation. That was why he had planned to spare Jia Lie Bi. Even when Jia Lie Bi had come to assassinate him, he had not killed him. Yet he had nearly suffered a setback because of it.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Jin slowly headed toward the Jia Lie Family. Earth Demon Kui followed closely behind him, dragging Jia Lie Bi by the leg.

"It seems Blue Star's rules are not suited to the Dou Qi Continent. This place follows the law of the jungle. Whoever has the bigger fist is right, and whoever is stronger makes the rules.

I should thank Jia Lie Bi. He taught me that being merciful to enemies is being cruel to myself. If not for him, I might truly be caught off guard by someone stronger in the future.

To thank him, I'll let him watch as I strip the Jia Lie Family clean. Anyone who puts up stubborn resistance will be killed without mercy." Xiao Jin muttered, his face brimming with killing intent.

Before long, they arrived at the Jia Lie Family. Xiao Jin took out Xiao Ying's black robe and put it on, then had Earth Demon Kui toss Jia Lie Bi directly into the Jia Lie Family compound. He himself headed toward the main gate.

"Stop right there! This is the Jia Lie Family. If you don't want to die, get lost!" A Six-star Dou Practitioner guarding the gate shouted at Xiao Jin and Earth Demon Kui. It was clear just how arrogant and overbearing the Jia Lie Family usually was.

Xiao Jin did not even spare the guard a glance and walked straight into the courtyard. The guard flew into a rage. "You're courting death!" He drew the sword at his waist and slashed toward Xiao Jin's neck, a vicious grin on his face.

Dou Qi rapidly formed a suit of Dou Qi Armor around Xiao Jin's body, and the guard's sword struck directly against it.

The sword in the guard's hand snapped and flew away. Its tip plunged straight into the guard's head, and he slowly collapsed while still wearing that savage grin.

"Someone's been killed! Someone is forcing their way into the Jia Lie Family! Hurry and defend against the enemy!" Another guard shouted as he ran into the courtyard.

The guard's cries quickly drew a large crowd of passersby. They looked at black-robed Xiao Jin and Earth Demon Kui and began whispering among themselves.

One passerby cautiously said, "Who is this person? He actually dares to force his way into the Jia Lie Family. There are five Da Dou Shi inside."

"Exactly. He looks like a Da Dou Shi too, but two fists cannot fight four hands. Even if his companion is also a Da Dou Shi, they probably won't get any advantage."

Another passerby said softly, "I don't know him, but I hope he gives those old bastards from the Jia Lie Family a good lesson. Maybe then they'll stop acting so high and mighty."

Yet another passerby spoke indignantly. The people around him all echoed his sentiments, showing just how unpopular the Jia Lie Family was in Wutan City.

Xiao Jin ignored the passersby and entered the Jia Lie Family with Earth Demon Kui. Inside, the Jia Lie Family had already descended into chaos.

Jia Lie Bi, who had been thrown into the Jia Lie Family by Earth Demon Kui, was quickly discovered by the family's servants. Just as they reported the matter to the elders, they heard the guards shouting.

Several Dou Masters from the Jia Lie Family rushed toward the gate at top speed, intending to capture Xiao Jin. But before they could reach him, they saw the Dou Qi Armor on his body and immediately cursed as they retreated in the direction they had come from.

"Why is he a Da Dou Shi? Is someone like that something we Dou Masters can resist? Who was that guard who came in shouting just now? Why didn't he mention the intruder's strength? Damn it, when I find him, I'll skin him alive!"

The Dou Master guard cursed as he frantically backed away. "Stop cursing and hurry to summon the family elders!" Another guard used a movement Dou Skill and raced toward the family council hall, terrified that if he ran too slowly, the Da Dou Shi behind him would snap his neck.

Xiao Jin watched the group that had charged at him, only to suddenly turn and flee. His lips curled upward.

"A bunch of trash. You came, and now you think you can leave?" As soon as he spoke, Xiao Jin vanished from where he stood. A series of screams immediately rang out. Before the guards could react, Xiao Jin had crippled their Dantians.

Xiao Jin did not spare the howling guards on the ground another glance and continued toward the main hall.

At that moment, several Jia Lie Family elders were chatting and drinking tea in the main hall, discussing the family's affairs over the past period.

Just then, a servant rushed into the hall with unconscious Jia Lie Bi on his back. "This is bad! Patriarch Jia Lie Bi has been crippled!"

The servant shouted in terror. Everyone in the hall changed expression and hurried over. Seeing Jia Lie Bi lying unconscious on the ground, their faces darkened. Just as they were about to question what had happened, another servant rushed into the hall.

"This is bad, Elders! Someone has forced their way into the family! More than ten Dou Master experts have already been crippled!"

The newcomer shouted in panic. The Jia Lie Family elders were furious upon hearing this. "Who dares force their way into the Jia Lie Family? They truly don't know the meaning of death." Jia Lie Nu, the Jia Lie Family's Second Elder, said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone flew in from outside and shot straight toward Jia Lie Nu. Jia Lie Nu slapped the person away, then asked with a gloomy expression, "Who are you? What grudge do you have against my Jia Lie Family? Why have you forced your way into our family?"

Xiao Jin slowly walked into the hall, with Earth Demon Kui closely following behind him. Looking at the Jia Lie Family elders, he said calmly, "Your Jia Lie Family has repeatedly caused trouble for me. Today, that old dog Jia Lie Bi even tried to ambush me, a junior. I came to the Jia Lie Family today to demand an explanation."

"So you were the one who crippled our patriarch?" Jia Lie Nu demanded loudly. Jia Lie Bi had now been crippled, making him the strongest person in the Jia Lie Family. If he could avenge Jia Lie Bi today, he would surely be chosen as patriarch in the next selection.

However, this mysterious person had been able to cripple Jia Lie Bi, so he was at least a Seven-star Da Dou Shi. Trying to take revenge alone would be suicidal. But if he joined forces with the family's remaining four Da Dou Shi, they would have a fair chance. Even if they could not kill the man before them, they could still drive him away, which would count as a great achievement.

"That's right. He came to assassinate me, and I only crippled him instead of killing him. You should be thanking me," Xiao Jin replied calmly.

"You crippled our patriarch and still dare force your way into the Jia Lie Family in broad daylight. You clearly have no regard for our Jia Lie Family. First Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder.

Let's attack together and kill this man to avenge the patriarch!" After saying that, Jia Lie Nu and the other Jia Lie Family elders surrounded Xiao Jin and Earth Demon Kui, preventing the two from escaping.

Xiao Jin looked at the Jia Lie Family elders with some resignation. "You're in such a hurry to die? Then I'll grant your wish."

He had originally only intended to make the Jia Lie Family hand over all its wealth before sparing them. After all, his grudge with Jia Lie Bi and Jia Lie'ao had no reason to involve others. But since everyone in the Jia Lie Family wanted to avenge Jia Lie Bi, they could all die.

Xiao Jin said to Earth Demon Kui, "Leave no one alive." His voice was filled with killing intent.

Earth Demon Kui behind him vanished in an instant. Screams soon rang out one after another, and Xiao Jin closed his eyes amid the cries.

He knew this was a trial he had to face. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, if he did not dare kill, the road ahead would become extremely difficult. So he had to overcome this hurdle.
