One-Shotting a Dou Ling Strongman!

Chapter 25: One-Shotting a Dou Ling Strongman!

"Xiao Tian!" Seeing the tall figure on the rooftop, Oba Pa's eyes blazed with fury.

According to the information the Oba Family had received, Xiao Tian was the one who had beaten Obatai so badly that he died of his injuries. Oba Pa was so enraged he could hardly contain himself, and wished he could skin Xiao Tian alive and tear him limb from limb.

"Mr. Ouyang, your disciple Liu Xi was also killed by this brat!" Oba Pa suddenly turned to the white-haired elder beside him and said respectfully, his voice tinged with awe and fear.

The white-haired elder stood calmly at his side. He was thin, wore a loose robe, and had a gloomy expression. His face was covered in wrinkles.

He was none other than Ouyang Bo, the expert Oba Pa had invited—and Liu Xi's master!

Three months earlier, Oba Pa had personally invited Ouyang Bo to Wutan City to serve as an honored guest of the Oba Family. His goal had been to use Ouyang Bo's abilities to put pressure on the Xiao Family.

Over the past few months, Ouyang Bo had indeed put his skills as a Fourth-grade Alchemist to work. He had refined numerous pills, turning the Xiao Family's medicinal-herb market upside down and even monopolizing shares of the other markets in Wutan City.

But a few days ago, the Xiao Family had suddenly put a batch of top-grade pills up for sale—including such exceptionally precious pills as the third-grade Resurrection Pill and the fourth-grade Three-pattern Green Spirit Pill. As a result, sales of Ouyang Bo's pills had plummeted, and he had suffered heavy losses.

Then, yesterday, Oba Pa had suddenly learned that his son, Obatai, was dead. The two blows had finally proved too much for him. He had led every member of his clan to the Xiao Family Marketplace in a murderous frenzy. This time, he meant not only to wipe out the Xiao Family completely, but also to seize all of its resources for himself.

With Ouyang Bo by his side, Oba Pa believed the Xiao Family was doomed.

"Oh? He's the one who killed my disciple Liu Xi?" Ouyang Bo raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Xiao Tian on the rooftop, a trace of surprise crossing his face.

From what he could tell, Xiao Tian's strength was only at the Dou Qi stage. Though Xiao Tian's Dou Qi seemed somewhat strange, Ouyang Bo still believed he was nowhere near strong enough to kill his beloved disciple, Liu Xi. That left him a little puzzled.

"That's right, Mr. Ouyang. It was him!" Oba Pa nodded, then fixed his gaze on Xiao Tian and said coldly,

"Little bastard, today I, Oba Pa, will tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust to avenge my son!"

"You talk too much." Xiao Tian shook his head, a wicked smile tugging at his lips. "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the blather?"

At that, Oba Pa flew into a rage. "You insolent bastard! You're about to die, and you still dare to act so arrogantly!"

With that, Oba Pa lunged forward. He pushed off with his toes and charged at Xiao Tian on the rooftop, unleashing his powerful Dou Qi without holding anything back. It gathered into an astonishing force that bore down on Xiao Tian, making the air tremble violently.

"Boom..."

In an instant, Oba Pa was right in front of Xiao Tian. His hand shook as he struck out, bringing terrifying force crashing down.

"How can an ant's fury shake the heavens?"

Xiao Tian's lips curled slightly, and a look of disdain appeared on his face. He lifted his right hand and casually threw a Mountain Splitting Fist.

Bang!!

Fist met palm, and a deafening crash rang out. The air around them seemed to boil as waves of force rolled outward. An indescribably powerful impact burst from the point where their hands collided.

Pfft!

The next moment, Oba Pa spat blood and was sent flying. He hit the ground and twitched a few times before dying on the spot.

Xiao Tian, by contrast, remained completely still, standing atop the roof like a statue of a god as he looked down at Oba Pa with a cold expression.

"Clan Leader!"

At the sight, Elder Obake and the Oba Pa Family's guards turned deathly pale and cried out in shock.

Oba Pa was a six-star Da Dou Shi, yet he couldn't withstand even one casual strike from his opponent.

At that moment, no one was more shocked than Ouyang Bo. Looking at Oba Pa lying on the ground, he narrowed his old eyes, a glint of light flickering in them.

"This boy is only at the Dou Qi stage, yet his combat strength is so astonishing!" Ouyang Bo drew a deep breath, inwardly astounded.

"Seal off the marketplace! Leave no one alive!"

Seeing Xiao Tian kill Oba Pa with a single strike, Xiao Zhan's eyes hardened and he shouted an order.

Now that they had openly turned against each other, there was only one way forward: fight until one side was completely destroyed.

In an instant, the Xiao Family's guards rushed into action, intercepting the Oba Pa Family's guards and engaging them in a fierce battle.

As the two clans began fighting, Ouyang Bo finally made his move. His rich golden Dou Qi surged forth, taking the shape of a Golden Spear before him.

The spear was two meters long and golden all over. Mysterious runes were etched into its shaft, and it radiated a sharp aura, as if it were an unparalleled weapon.

"Heh. Dying beneath this old man's golden spear is an honor!" Ouyang Bo said with an arrogant smile, holding the spear as his Dou Qi surged around him.

"Dou Qi taking form—a four-star Dou Ling expert?"

Feeling the aura Ouyang Bo gave off, Xiao Zhan's expression turned grave, and a hint of apprehension welled up inside him.

With his strength, he had no chance of holding off Ouyang Bo's attack. He could only place all his hopes in his nephew, Xiao Tian. After all, his nephew had been surprising him time and again lately.

"Old dog, why do you have so much to say?" Seeing Ouyang Bo's arrogant smile, Xiao Tian looked at him with contempt. "If you have any last words, hurry up and say them. You might not get the chance later."

Xiao Tian's taunt darkened Ouyang Bo's face completely. "You brat, you're asking for death!"

"Golden Dragon Breaking Waves Spear!!"

Ouyang Bo shouted angrily, gripped his spear, and thrust it forward with all his might. Golden light burst out in a dazzling flare, and the entire space hummed like a field of wheat swaying in the wind.

The next moment, a dragon's head appeared in the golden spear light. Dragon roars echoed, majestic and domineering, as an intensely dangerous aura spread through the air.

"What a powerful Dou Technique!!"

At the sight, the Xiao Family members' pupils contracted, and their faces filled with shock.

The Golden Dragon Breaking Waves Spear was an Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique of immense power. In the hands of Ouyang Bo, a four-star Dou Ling, it was even more terrifying!

What was more, the Golden Dragon Breaking Waves Spear was not only fierce and deadly, but also had a wide area of effect. Once unleashed, it could cover the entire Xiao Family Marketplace and wreak utter destruction.

At that moment, seeing Ouyang Bo unleash such a powerful Dou Technique, the Xiao Family members turned pale. Meanwhile, the Oba Pa Family members were overjoyed, looking as if victory was already theirs. They watched the Xiao Family with mocking, playful expressions.

But in the very next moment, the smiles on their faces froze, replaced by sheer terror!

"Mountain Collapse Earth Split Slash!!"

In almost the same instant, Xiao Tian met Ouyang Bo's Golden Dragon Breaking Waves Spear by summoning the Zi Wu Qi Xing Sword and unleashing the Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique—Mountain Collapse Earth Split Slash.

Dou Qi surged from within him. The Zi Wu Qi Xing Sword in his hand gradually changed color, swiftly shifting from its original pitch black to a scorching red. A violent wave of energy began to spread through the air.

Xiao Tian leaped up and swung the Zi Wu Qi Xing Sword down. In a flash, a blazing red streak tore across the sky and cleaved through space. Like a meteor falling from the heavens, it crashed into the Golden Dragon Breaking Waves Spear Ouyang Bo had released with unstoppable force.

At once, a rumble like the collapse of heaven and earth rang out.

Boom!!

The golden spear light shattered instantly, scattering into countless specks of gold that vanished into the air. The red sword light did not stop; it continued onward and slammed into Ouyang Bo's chest.

"Crack..." A crisp breaking sound rang out. The Battle Qi Armor around Ouyang Bo shattered in an instant. Then his body exploded, turning into a pool of mangled flesh as blood sprayed everywhere.

Hiss...

At the sight, everyone present drew a sharp breath. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

With just one strike, he had blasted a four-star Dou Ling expert into pulp. Such strength was simply too formidable—and too terrifying.

"Holy crap, the Second Elder is terrifying! A four-star Dou Ling expert can't even put up a fight against him." A Xiao Family member stared at Xiao Tian in shock, awe and admiration filling his eyes.

Xiao Tian, meanwhile, stood calmly atop the building, his expression unchanged, as though instantly killing a Dou Ling expert were nothing worth mentioning.

"It was him! It was him! He's the one who wiped out the entire Gale Family!" Suddenly, as everyone remained immersed in their boundless shock, a woman's cry rang out from the crowd.

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw Widow Liu pointing at Xiao Tian's back, crying out in alarm.

Three months earlier, on a dark and windy night, the Gale Family had suffered a devastating disaster. Every last one of them had been killed; not even their chickens and dogs had been spared. Widow Liu remembered the night vividly. She had gotten up to pull down her pants and relieve herself, and had happened to witness the culprit's back with her own eyes.

So when Widow Liu saw Xiao Tian's back, she recognized him at once as the mysterious culprit who had destroyed the Gale Family that night.

"So it was him!"

At her words, the Xiao Family members, including Clan Leader Xiao Zhan and the elders, were all stunned.

The incident had thrown Wutan City into a state of panic at the time, and the Xiao Family had even held a special meeting to discuss how to guard against the ruthless man who had slaughtered the Gale Family. Who would have guessed that the culprit was one of their own, Xiao Tian of the Xiao Clan?

At that moment, Widow Liu's cry also reached the ears of the Oba Pa Family members. When Obake heard her words, his expression stiffened. His pupils shrank to pinpoints, and his face filled with shock and disbelief.

If they had known the ruthless man who had slaughtered the Gale Family was Xiao Tian of the Xiao Clan, the Oba Pa Family would never have acted so rashly. After all, rumors said that the man's strength was at the Dou Ling level.

Now it seemed the rumors were true. The ruthless man was indeed at the Dou Ling level—perhaps even at the peak Dou Ling level, since he could kill Ouyang Bo, a four-star Dou Ling, with a single strike!

At that moment, seeing that the battle had already turned into a crushing defeat, with Clan Leader Oba Pa and honored guest Ouyang Bo both dead, Obake felt his scalp go numb. He stopped caring about anything else and, taking advantage of the chaos, darted away.
