Teaching Ling Quan a Lesson

"I told you I would go back on my own, so why did you all come all this way?"

Xun'er was upset that Ling Quan and the others' arrival had disturbed her time with Xiao Tian Gege, which made Xun'er expression quite cold, and even her words were tinged with icy sarcasm.

"We have no choice but to obey the Clan Head's orders." Ling Quan smiled slightly, then looked at Xiao Tian and asked with a smile:

"I presume you are Young Master Xiao Tian of the Xiao Family? The clan elders instructed that if you see anyone from the Xiao Family, you should inquire about the whereabouts of the key. Could you please tell me the location of the key?"

Xun'er, who was standing to the side, tensed up immediately and glanced at Xiao Tian without showing any emotion.

Xiao Tian frowned, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "Key? What key?"

Looking at Xiao Tian, who had a puzzled expression, Ling Quan guessed that Xiao Tian might not know because the Xiao Family was in disarray.

Xun'er then looked coldly at Ling Quan and said, "I've been in the Xiao Family for so long and haven't found the key. Do you think you can find it like this? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

"It's alright. My main mission here is to take Miss Xun'er back to the clan. The Clan Head misses Miss Xun'er terribly."

Ling Quan smiled slightly, stepped aside for Xun'er, and said respectfully.

Xiao Tian glanced at Xun'er beside him, then wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. Ling Quan, who was standing to the side, saw Xiao Tian's actions and his face instantly turned cold.

Both Xiao Tian Xun'er sensed a faint fluctuation of Dou Qi, but neither of them paid it any mind. Xiao Tian was now giving Xun'er plenty of confidence.

Xiao Tian gently stroked Xun'er's smooth hair, burying his head in her hair and inhaling her fragrance. He whispered in her ear, "You focus on your cultivation in the Gu Clan. I'll come to get you. Soon, no one will be able to stop me."

As Xiao Tian finished speaking, his tone became increasingly resolute.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Xun'er thought that with Xiao Tian's current cultivation speed, it wouldn't be long before he reached the Dou Zong or even Dou Zun, so she nodded heavily, her heart full of anticipation.

"However, you'd better behave yourself while I'm gone, or don't blame me for ignoring you later."

Xun'er, thinking of Xiao Tian's philandering nature, whispered something through gritted teeth in his ear. After saying this, her tone instantly changed, becoming hesitant. "Once I reach the Dou Sheng, we can..."

Hearing the two versions of himself from the Dou Sheng, along with her hesitant words, Xiao Tian knew what it was all about. He touched her waist and said with a mischievous smile, "Can I what?"

"Oh dear, Xiao Tian Gege, you're so mean..." Xun'er knew from Xiao Tian's expression that he must have guessed what it was.

She slammed her foot down hard, then pushed Xiao Tian Xiao Tian away, her face slightly flushed.

With a light touch of her toes, a pair of golden wings appeared behind her. With a gentle flap, Xun'er's delicate body quickly flew towards a Flying Magical Beast, landing steadily on its back.

Then the Flying Magical Beast flapped its wings and carried Xun'er away into the distant horizon.

The other members of the Black Annihilation Army and their Flying Magical Beast quickly followed, protecting the Flying Magical Beast that Xun'er was on.

Xiao Tian watched Xun'er leave and called out, "Xun'er, wait for me!"

"Xiao Tian Gege, Xun'er will always wait for you!"

Xun'er's clear, trusting voice came from afar, echoing in the distance.

Upon hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Tian's lips curled into a slight smile. He glanced at Ling Quan, who was still standing there, raised an eyebrow, and said calmly, "What, Deputy Commander Ling Quan, aren't you leaving yet?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Ling Quan's smiling face, which had been feigning friendliness, vanished instantly, turning gloomy and his eyes coldly fixed on Xiao Tian.

"With your current background and strength, you are not worthy of Miss at all. Your Xiao Family is now nothing more than stray dogs. Your Xiao Clan has declined. Only the true powerhouses of the continent are worthy of Miss. You are still..."

"Smack!"

Before Ling Quan could finish speaking, a slap landed on his face before he could react.

It was Xiao Tian who made the move. He shook his hand off, saying, "Watch your mouth. If you don't know how to speak, I can teach you for free. Also, whether you're worthy or not is none of your business. At least in my eyes, you're no different from trash."

Ling Quan, who was sent flying by the slap, tumbled several times in the air before regaining his footing. Only someone of his rank as Dou Emperor could manage that; anyone else would probably have been rolling on the ground.

His face still bore the obvious handprint, his eyes filled with shock and anger as he stared intently at Xiao Tian before him. "You... you actually dared to lay a hand on me!"

Ling Quan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Hearing Xiao Tian's words, her anger intensified. She, who had always been proud, had never been so insulted.

His Fire Attribute Dou Qi surged continuously, and his aura as a Six-Star Dou Huang erupted constantly.

"With Miss protecting you, I won't kill you, but I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget, so you'll always have to keep a low profile. I'll become your nightmare."

Ling Quan was filled with murderous intent, and his heart was burning with rage Killing Intent.

"Oh, I'd love to see that too."

After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he immediately activated the Thunder God Body, and his aura rose from Four-Star Dou Huang to Seven-Star Dou Emperor.

Xiao Tian unsealed his physique so that he could use Gu Yuan's words to convey his own strength to him.

Seeing Xiao Tian's aura surpass that of himself, Ling Quan's expression became extremely solemn. He thought to himself: This is impossible. How could a Xiao Clan with depleted bloodline produce someone with such talent?

Xiao Tian ignored his expression and a Four-Colored Thunderbolt Long Halberd appeared in his hand, with terrifying Thunder constantly crackling on its surface.

Holding Long Halberd, he stared intently at Ling Quan before him.

Just as Ling Quan was about to make his move, he discovered that the world around him had turned black and white, his body was numb and sluggish, and even things were moving incredibly slowly.

"What's going on?" Ling Quan's expression turned extremely ugly as he tried desperately to break free of his restraints.

"Severing Sky!"

Xiao Tian immediately responded with the first move of his Thunder Halberd Technique, using his Long Halberd.

Ling Quan could only watch helplessly as a Crescent Energy slashed towards him. At the last moment, he unleashed his full power and combined it with his Dou Technique to break free from the World Loses Color.

But the strike was already upon him, and he had no time to defend himself. He could only gather his fighting Dou Qi in front of his chest to reduce the damage from the Dou Technique.

The thunderous strike instantly shattered his defenses, and the powerful crescent moon sent him flying.

"This... this is impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible."

Ling Quan struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xun'er and the other Black Annihilation Army, who had already flown far away, sensed a powerful energy fluctuation behind them. Xun'er felt the presence of Xiao Tian and Ling Quan and frowned slightly.
