Total Annihilation

"Where's the cauldron? I'll go take a look!"

Xiao Bai suppressed the doubts in his heart and said to the owner.

"This way, young masters!"

The Blacksmith Shop owner led Xiao Bai and Xiao Yan all the way toward the rear courtyard, which only made Xiao Bai even more puzzled. Why would they go to the rear courtyard just to pick up a cauldron?

Something was off. His Soul Strength spread out directly, sensing the surroundings.

Although Xiao Bai was confident in himself, when he knew there was a problem, he still had to be a little cautious.

The Blacksmith Shop owner's earlier enthusiasm outside could still be explained away with other reasons.

But now, it was practically as if the words "I'm suspicious" had been carved openly on his forehead. Xiao Bai was not worried about danger, but at the very least, he had to know what was going on.

After sensing for a while, the corners of Xiao Bai's mouth curved into a faint smile.

So that was it. Quite the scheme!

After bringing Xiao Bai to the rear courtyard, the owner said, "Please wait a moment, young masters. This lowly one will go fetch the cauldron right away!"

After saying that, he walked toward a small house in the rear courtyard.

Xiao Bai simply watched him act and paid him no mind. In any case, the man would be dead soon.

"Kid Xiao Bai, did you offend someone?" At that moment, Yao Lao suddenly transmitted his voice to Xiao Bai from inside the ring.

"Someone is in a hurry to die, and even stopping him won't work. What do you expect me to do?" Xiao Bai shook his head.

There had originally not been much of a grudge between them, yet now they actually wanted to put him to death. He did not know why either.

"One Five Star Da Dou Shi, one Three Star Da Dou Shi, and three High Level Dou Shi. This lineup is no small matter in Wutan City!"

Yao Lao sighed emotionally inside the ring. However, he had no hope for these people at all. With just them, there was no need for him to make a move; Kid Xiao Bai could handle it himself.

Just as Yao Lao finished speaking, five figures appeared all around them. Ga Lie Family Head Ga Lie Bi and all the elders of the family had come.

Xiao Yan was startled. He knew these people. Seeing the murderous looks on the faces of these Ga Lie Family higher-ups, he was a little nervous at first, but then he thought again.

What was there to be nervous about? Not to mention Bai Ge was still so calm, his teacher was in the ring too. He then settled down and prepared to watch the show.

"Haha. I didn't expect our luck to be this good. We originally only wanted to kill that brat Xiao Bai, but who would have thought we'd get one free with the purchase!"

Jia Lie Family Great Elder Ga Lie En laughed loudly, the excitement in his tone impossible to hide.

They had already investigated over the past year. In the Xiao Clan, only Xiao Bai had concealed his strength, and even the members of the Xiao Clan did not know. They guessed that only those few people in power within the Xiao Clan were aware of it.

As for Xiao Yan, he was not, as they had imagined, another hidden genius. He truly only had third-stage Dou Zhi Qi. For that, they had to thank the young miss of the Nalan Family.

Yesterday, the Xiao Clan had been publicly humiliated by the Nalan Family's annulment, becoming a huge joke in Wutan City, and that was how they learned of Xiao Yan's situation.

Ever since the last incident, Ga Lie Bi had had people secretly investigate the two of them while also having others keep watch on the Xiao Clan.

He hoped to find a suitable opportunity to get rid of them, but over the past year, these two boys had never once stepped out of the Xiao Clan's gates, leaving him helpless.

This sort of thing could be done, but only in secret. It could not be discovered, or else every family would despise them. This was the rule between families.

If people of the same generation clashed and someone was beaten to death, that was acceptable. But using the strong to bully the weak and snuff out another family's genius? Then just wait for the younger generation of your own family to vanish one by one!

So Ga Lie Bi had silently endured. Two days ago, a subordinate suddenly reported that the one called Xiao Bai had finally left the Xiao Clan's gates, gone to a Blacksmith Shop, ordered a cauldron, and would come pick it up in three days.

This allowed Ga Lie Bi to see hope of getting rid of one of them, though he still hesitated in his heart.

Then yesterday, news spread that the Xiao Clan had suffered an annulment, and only then did Ga Lie Bi make up his mind to act.

If the Xiao Clan had two geniuses, the matter would still be difficult. There would not be such a perfect opportunity to deal with both at once, and only dealing with one would not mean much.

But now, it was as if the heavens were helping him. The Xiao Clan only had one genius, and that one just so happened to have given him an opportunity to strike.

Moreover, this opportunity was extremely good. This was the West District, which was already rather chaotic to begin with, and it was far from the East District as well.

After getting rid of them and dealing with the corpses at night, who would know that his Ga Lie Family had done it? Even if they suspected something, Wutan City had three great families, not two. Who could the Xiao Clan suspect?

Ga Lie Bi stared darkly at Xiao Bai. As for Xiao Yan, he was just an extra. If he was here, even better; if not, it would not have mattered.

However, this boy was a little too calm. One had to know that, for the sake of caution, Ga Lie Bi had brought over all the trustworthy combat strength in the family, yet Xiao Bai did not seem surprised by their appearance in the slightest.

"Clan Head Ga Lie certainly has courage. But if all of you are buried here today, the Ga Lie Family will be finished too, won't it?" Xiao Bai said leisurely to Ga Lie Bi.

"Haha. Brat still wet behind the ears, what arrogance. Even if you concealed your cultivation, do you really think you can deal with all of us here today?"

Before Ga Lie Bi could speak, Ga Lie En laughed with a face full of disdain.

"No need to say more. Finish this as soon as possible. Delay invites trouble!" Ga Lie Bi said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he attacked first. Xiao Bai's calm and composed expression gave him an uneasy feeling. Moreover, what happened today could not be leaked outside in the slightest. He did not want to waste words. The sooner they resolved this, the better.

Hearing the clan head's order, the elders, who had originally wanted to mock him a little, all attacked together, unleashing Dou Techniques as they charged straight at Xiao Bai.

This had been discussed beforehand. If they did nothing, then fine; but if they acted, they would use their full strength and strive to kill him in one blow.

Standing to the side, Xiao Yan was not only unworried, but even a little expectant. Xiao Bai's performance yesterday had made him feel that Xiao Bai was very powerful, but he did not know exactly to what extent. When he asked his teacher, his teacher would not say either. Today, he could finally see it for himself.

Xiao Bai looked at the people charging toward him and shook his head. His Soul Strength burst forth, and the group seemed to suffer some kind of impact, their eyes going blank for an instant.

At this moment, fear filled the hearts of Ga Lie Bi and the other elders. They felt as if their heads had been smashed hard by a giant hammer, and afterward, their minds went completely blank.

Silver-white lightning flashed beneath Xiao Bai's feet, and he arrived in front of Ga Lie Bi as if teleporting. Crimson Lightning surged around his finger as he lightly tapped the space between Ga Lie Bi's brows.

Next, several Elders of the Jia Lie Family met the same fate, and Xiao Ran returned to his original position.

Xiao Yan was utterly shocked. All he saw was several Bai Ges appearing in front of the Jia Lie Family members, then vanishing.

Then the bodies of those people from the Jia Lie Family stiffened for an instant before toppling straight backward, a small black mark on each of their foreheads.

As for Bai Ge, he seemed to have merely shifted in place. Then he leisurely tidied his sleeves, as if he had never moved at all.

"That's it? I watched all that for nothing!"

Xiao Yan thought a little resentfully, blaming those guys for being so damn useless. Just look at Bai Ge—not to mention sweating, even his hair hadn't been mussed.

But then, on second thought, his father Xiao Zhan's cultivation was on the same level as Ga Lie Bi's too. They were both Five Star Da Dou Shi.

And he suddenly felt a little sorrowful for his own father.
