Have You Seen Snowfall in the Human World

After leaving the Mite'er Family's territory, Xiao Tian and the other two headed straight for the Xiao Family's marketplace.

However, shortly after leaving the Mietel Auction House, several shadowy figures blocked their path.

These individuals wore black clothes and veiled their faces, exuding a chilling killing intent. They were clearly seasoned killers.

The sudden appearance of the black-clothed figures startled the other pedestrians on the street, who quickly retreated, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

On the Dou Qi Continent, murder and robbery were common occurrences, but an open and blatant ambush like this, in broad daylight, was rare.

Xiao Tian scanned the attackers, thought for a moment, and quickly pieced together the cause and effect of the situation.

It was all part of Liu Xi's scheme after they left the Mietel Auction House.

If Xun'er had agreed to attend the banquet, it would have played right into Liu Xi's hands. But even if she refused, it was still within his calculations.

As long as he leaked the information that Xun'er possessed the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique, countless people would flock to seize it. Once they made their move, Xun'er would be his for the taking.

However, it was a pity.

All schemes and tricks were futile in the face of absolute power.

His calculations might have seemed sound, but the outcome would surely leave him disappointed, perhaps even regretting his actions.

"Hand over the item, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

One of the black-clothed figures stepped forward, unleashing a surge of powerful Dou Qi. He stared fiercely at Xun'er's beautiful face and spoke menacingly.

Undoubtedly, they were after the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique - Snowfall in the Human World.

Hearing the black-clothed man's threat, Xun'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed, a faint cold glint flashing in her eyes.

These individuals' strength was not profound, but they were certainly not weak. Judging by the richness of their Dou Qi, the leader likely possessed a cultivation level of around three-star Dou Grandmaster.

"Woman, I advise you to hand over the item obediently. Perhaps you can avoid some physical suffering!" Another black-clothed figure, also releasing a powerful aura, stared coldly at Xun'er.

However, the moment he finished speaking, Xiao Tian took a step forward and suddenly said with a faint smile:

"Have you ever seen Snowfall in the Human World?"

This calm, unhurried question caused all the black-clothed figures to pause slightly, momentarily confused by Xiao Tian's meaning.

At that very moment, Xiao Tian suddenly turned his head and smiled faintly at a heroic-looking bystander:

"Friend, lend me your blade!"

Without waiting for a response, Xiao Tian swiftly drew the saber from the man's waist and took several steps forward.

This bystander had seen Xiao Tian before in the Xiao Family's marketplace and had even witnessed him discipline Jia Lie Ao, an event that had deeply shocked him.

But he never imagined that Xiao Tian would face these menacing black-clothed figures so calmly today.

Is he feigning composure, waiting for reinforcements from the Xiao Family guards? At this instant, not only this bystander but all the other onlookers on the street were secretly speculating.

"Damn it, still trying to stall for time! Kill the man and leave the woman!" At this point, the leader of the black-clothed figures lost his patience. A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he roared.

Whoosh...

As the words fell, over twenty black-clothed figures lunged towards the trio like leopards.

However, facing such a large number of attackers, Xiao Tian showed no fear. Instead, he gripped his saber with both hands and performed an extremely peculiar movement.

This composed and self-assured reaction left the surrounding onlookers utterly bewildered, and some had already begun to whisper amongst themselves.

"What... what is this guy doing?"

"Facing so many thugs, he's not dodging or evading, and he's making this strange move!"

"Is he bluffing to buy time, waiting for the Xiao Family guards to arrive?"

"No... look closely. There's no trace of fear or nervousness on his face. Instead, there's a hint of excitement!"

"Swish!"

Just as everyone was guessing, Xiao Tian finally swung his arm.

"Snow... fall... in... the... Human... World!"

A smile curved Xiao Tian's lips, and the great saber in his hand suddenly carved an elegant arc through the air.

Instantly, a biting cold wind appeared out of nowhere, as if the atmosphere had suddenly changed. Snowflakes swirled everywhere, and the wind howled.

Swish...

Accompanied by a crisp saber hum, an icy cold current suddenly erupted from the blade of the great saber.

"Chii chii..."

Then, before everyone's eyes, the rapidly approaching black-clothed figures froze abruptly. One by one, they were encased in ice, standing stiffly in place, their faces filled with shock and confusion, as if they had encountered something unbelievable.

In the next instant, the saber light flashed, and countless snowflakes drifted down.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

This was followed by the sounds of sharp objects piercing flesh, blood splattering, and bodies falling lifelessly to the ground, their eyes wide with disbelief.

In a short period, all twenty-odd black-clothed figures, who had been so arrogant moments before, perished without even a scream.

Silence, the silence of death!

All the passersby around stared at the scene before them with looks of horror, their minds instantly falling into chaos, unable to believe it.

Especially the Xiao family guards who had just arrived, this scene completely changed their perception of Xiao Tian.

Those were more than twenty fierce criminals, with the leader being a three-star Dou Grandmaster, and they had all died in the blink of an eye?

With such strength, whoever dared to call Xiao Tian a good-for-nothing again, they would be the first to tear their mouth apart!

At this moment, it wasn't just them; even Xun'er and Xiao Yan were stunned in place, their eyes filled with deep shock.

"Brother Xiao Tian, you... you actually learned this Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique of the Ice Attribute?" Xun'er's beautiful eyes sparkled, her delicate body trembling with excitement.

"Mm, I was fortunate enough to comprehend a little," Xiao Tian replied with a faint smile.

Hearing this, another gleam appeared in Xun'er's beautiful eyes. She knew that what Xiao Tian called "fortunate" was merely a humble remark; this must be an achievement he had gained through secret hard training.

"Xiao Yan, you and Xun'er go back first!"

At this moment, amidst the stunned gazes, Xiao Tian spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tian's figure headed towards a pavilion.

Just now, he had accidentally glimpsed figures moving faintly in the window of the pavilion not far away.

As expected, when Xiao Tian arrived at the room on the third floor of the pavilion and pushed the door open, he saw Liu Xi embracing a young and beautiful maid, engaging in illicit acts on the bed.

Liu Xi's palm crawled wantonly over the girl's fair skin, and lewd gasps came from his mouth.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Liu Xi, who had been interrupted, subconsciously turned his head.

When he saw Xiao Tian, who had suddenly barged in, he was instantly terrified, his pupils shrinking to the size of needle points, and his mouth moved:

"You... why did you come in?"
