Night Visit to the Obba Family

Xiao Jin escaped the Mite'er Auction House and headed into the distance. However, he had no intention of returning to the Xiao Family just yet. Instead, he took out the black robe and put it on again.

As Xiao Jin walked, he savored the sensation from earlier. "Had I known it felt this good, I would've hit it a few more times." A lecherous grin appeared on his face.

Before long, Xiao Jin arrived at the Obba Family. However, he did not enter directly. Instead, he found a teahouse nearby and began eating and drinking. He intended to settle Wutan City's affairs once and for all.

The Obba Family had no grudge against him, but as one of Wutan City's three great families, its strength was no weaker than the Xiao Family's. Including the patriarch, the clan likewise possessed five Da Dou Shi experts.

The Jia Lie Family had already been exterminated by him. Even if some clan members were still away from home, they would pose no threat whatsoever to the Xiao Family. The Obba Family, on the other hand, was powerful. If anything happened to the Xiao Family while Xiao Jin was away training, it would become the Xiao Family's greatest threat.

After he broke through to the Dou Zhe realm, Xiao Jin would also have to leave home for training, while Xiao Xun'er would be heading to Jia Nan Academy to cultivate. Although the Xiao Family would still have Xiao Huohuo and Xiao Xun'er after he left, Xiao Jin decided to nip the threat in the bud beforehand so that he would not be distracted by family matters during his travels.

Night soon fell. As darkness descended, the entire Wutan City seemed to have been dyed with ink. The windows of every household were black, without even the faintest glimmer of lamplight to be seen. Only the calls of frogs and insects drifted through the night.

Amid the darkness, the Obba Family estate was instead brightly lit. Two large lanterns hung from the beam above its gates, illuminating the surrounding area. Two guards clutched their swords as they chatted nervously.

Guard 1 said fearfully to Guard 2, "Did you hear? The Jia Lie Family was wiped out today."

"Of course I did. I heard it was done by two people. Those two looked vicious and terrifying, with hateful faces. They killed without blinking. They didn't even spare the Jia Lie Family's dogs—they met a gruesome end. Even the earthworms underground were chopped into several pieces."

Guard 2 was equally terrified. "I just hope nothing happens tonight. Damn it, why did it have to be our turn to stand watch tonight?"

Guard 1 said gloomily, "Nothing we can do but accept our bad luck. Hopefully those two fiends have already left." Guard 2 replied helplessly.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past. "Did you feel that gust just now?" Guard 1 asked Guard 2.

"Yeah, it was a pretty strong gust. Nice and cool, too," Guard 2 replied casually, completely unaware that the fiends they had been discussing had already entered the Obba Family estate.

After entering the Obba Family estate, Xiao Jin discovered guards patrolling everywhere. The destruction of the Jia Lie Family today must have frightened both the Obba Family and the Xiao Family. He believed the Xiao Family was in the same state.

However, how could guards whose highest cultivation was merely Dou Master possibly discover Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui?

Xiao Jin concealed himself in a dark corner, and his soul perception covered the entire Obba Family estate. Before long, he understood the clan's entire layout and located his primary targets.

"Quite cautious. But before absolute strength, every arrangement is useless." Xiao Jin smiled faintly. He had not come to the Obba Family tonight to exterminate them.

His goal was to cripple the Obba Family's experts above the Dou Master realm and seize the entire family's wealth, cultivation methods, and Dou Techniques.

That way, even after Xiao Jin was no longer in the Xiao Family, the Obba Family would pose no threat whatsoever to them. As for the other members of the Obba Family, the Xiao Family would not even consider them worthy of notice.

There was no need for Xiao Jin to kill them all. As for what would happen to the Obba Family after it lost all experts above the Dou Master realm, that was beyond Xiao Jin's concern.

Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui headed directly for the Obba Family's main hall. He no longer intended to hide.

The moment they entered the hall, a massive net descended toward Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui. At the same time, the Obba Family patriarch charged out alongside the four great elders.

Without another word, they circulated all the Dou Qi in their bodies and unleashed one Dou Technique after another in a frenzied barrage against Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui.

"Xuan Class Intermediate Dou Technique, Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest!"

"Xuan Class Low-Level Dou Technique, Mountain Splitting Slash!"

"Xuan Class Low-Level Dou Technique, Earth Splitting Fist!"

"Xuan Class Low-Level Dou Technique, Flame Kick!"

"Xuan Class Low-Level Dou Technique, Returning Water Spear!"

After the relentless bombardment, the Obba Family patriarch and several elders only stopped once their Dou Qi had been exhausted.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the floor of the main hall had already been ravaged beyond recognition.

Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui walked out completely unscathed. The moment they had tried to trap Xiao Jin with the net, a wisp of Heavenly Flame had appeared around him. The net, made from special materials, vanished before it could even ensnare Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui.

The Earth Demon Kui had then instantly appeared before Xiao Jin and easily blocked every Dou Technique. It looked as though they had eliminated Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui, but not a single hair on Xiao Jin's head had been harmed. He had only gotten covered in dust.

Seeing Xiao Jin and the Earth Demon Kui completely unharmed, the Obba Family patriarch and the four great elders collapsed limply to the ground, their eyes filled with despair.

Such a huge commotion naturally drew every member of the Obba Family over. As they looked at the patriarch and the four great elders sprawled on the ground, their eyes too filled with despair and deep helplessness.

At that moment, some Obba Family members who realized the situation was dire began slowly backing away, intending to flee while Xiao Jin was not paying attention. Naturally, their little movements could not escape Xiao Jin's notice.

"I advise you not to move. Whoever moves, dies. I did not come here today to exterminate the Obba Family." Xiao Jin's calm voice echoed throughout the entire Obba Family estate as his soul perception covered it all.

Yet some people refused to heed his warning and continued to retreat slowly. A seven-colored gleam flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes, and that person instantly turned to ashes. This was heartfire, the ability of the Falling Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

This time, no one dared move. Such an unfathomable method thoroughly terrified every member of the Obba Family.

Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Xiao Jin slowly walked up to the Obba Family patriarch, Obba Pa. Looking down at him, he said calmly,

"I will give your Obba Family two choices. First, I exterminate your clan. Second, you hand over all the family's wealth, cultivation methods, and Dou Techniques. I will only cripple those above the Dou Master realm. Everyone else may live."

"May I ask why?" Obba Pa asked with a bitter smile. "There is no reason. In this world, the strong devour the weak. Surely I do not need to teach you that," Xiao Jin replied indifferently.

Obba Pa rose with a bitter smile, then looked toward the clan members and elders outside the hall. "Do it yourselves. I need not tell you which choice to make."

The Obba Family members above the Dou Master realm wore unwilling expressions. In the end, they gritted their teeth and raised their right hands, striking their own Dantians.

They instantly spat out blood. The Dantians within their bodies deflated like punctured balls, and their Dou Qi began flowing out of their bodies, dissolving into the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy.

After seeing every expert above the Dou Master realm cripple their own Dantians, Xiao Jin said calmly, "Hand over all your Storage Rings. Take me to the family treasury and the places where your cultivation methods and Dou Techniques are stored."
