Action, Attack the Jalie Clan (Seeking Monthly Votes, Recommendation Votes, Rewards)

The next day.

A thin mist swirled as the morning sun gradually rose.

The entire Wutan City was shrouded in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

No one could have known that a battle capable of altering the entire landscape of Wutan City was about to erupt.

Xiao Clan plaza.

Dozens of Xiao Clan experts gathered in neat rows before Xiao Zhan.

Leading them was the Great Elder, whose status and strength were second only to Xiao Zhan.

Behind him stood fifteen Dou Masters and over thirty Dou Practitioners.

This... was the entirety of the Xiao Clan's current combat strength.

Thump, thump, thump—

Steady footsteps echoed slowly across the martial arts arena.

Clan Head Xiao Zhan walked out wearing a grey robe, his expression solemn. He cradled the Taixiao Sword in his arms, his stride carrying a heavy, imposing dignity.

He stood before everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I, your Clan Head, will not say much more."

"Today, we shall surely crush the Jalie Clan!"

BOOM!

He raised the long sword in his hand, his high-pitched voice echoing across the arena.

The next second.

The sky above the entire Xiao Clan resonated with intense, murderous intent.

"Crush the Jalie Clan!"

"Crush the Jalie Clan!"

"Crush the Jalie Clan!"

"..."

"Move out!"

Seeing that everyone's fighting spirit was surging, Xiao Zhan did not waste words. He immediately gave the order and led the dozens of Xiao Tribe experts toward the Jalie Clan residence located within Wutan City!

This battle!

He would make everyone in Wutan City know that the Xiao Clan was not to be trifled with!

At the front of the formation, Xiao Zhan, holding the Taixiao Sword, was filled with fighting spirit. His cultivation as a five-star Great Dou Master erupted, pale cyan Dou Qi suffusing his entire body as his surging aura rippled in all directions.

It was like a gale sweeping across the world.

Beside him, Xiao Yan followed closely.

As the Young Clan Head of the Xiao Clan, he had to witness this battle with his own eyes!

With the ancestor's sword in hand, our Xiao Clan will surely return in triumph from this expedition! Xiao Yan clenched his fists, feeling full of confidence for today's battle.

Back mountain of the Xiao Clan grounds.

Xiao Ze stood in the courtyard, gazing at the battle-ready Xiao Zhan and the others. The corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily as he muttered to himself, "Is the first battle since coming to the Xiao Clan about to begin?"

"It's a pity that a mere Jalie Clan is not worth me making an appearance."

"Sigh..."

"As a dignified four-star Dou Huang, when will I finally be able to show off my power before others!"

Wutan City.

Jalie Clan.

At this moment, the majority of the Jalie Clan members were still immersed in their morning slumber.

They had no idea that a crisis capable of annihilating their clan was quietly approaching.

"Great Elder, lead a portion of our men and begin the attack from the east."

"Second Elder, take your men and begin the attack from the north."

"Third Elder, take your men and launch the attack from the west."

"As for the southern gate, I, your Clan Head, shall breach it personally..."

"Remember, we must launch our attacks at the same time and destroy all defensive measures within the Jalie Clan at the fastest possible speed."

"Finally, our four parties will assemble at the center of the Jalie Clan's grounds."

"Is that clear to everyone?"

Outside the Jalie Clan.

Clan Leader Xiao Zhan quickly distributed the attack plan, and the Xiao Clan launched an all-out assault on the Jialie Clan from four directions.

Boom, boom, boom!

As the appointed time arrived, massive explosions erupted simultaneously across the east, west, south, and north sides of the Jialie Clan.

The members of the Jialie Clan had never expected to be attacked, so the entire clan fell into immediate panic.

The Xiao Clan forces advanced rapidly, soon breaching the core area of the Jialie Clan.

"Clan Leader, it's bad! Enemies are attacking our Jialie Clan!"

"The east, south, west, and north sectors have all fallen!"

In the courtyard of the Jialie Clan's core area, a clansman rushed in, panicked, and shouted at Jialie Bi, who had just risen from his bed.

"Insolent!"

"Who has the audacity to attack my Jialie Clan?"

"I will tear them limb from limb!"

Awakened by the commotion, Jialie Bi rushed out wearing only silk pajamas. He looked at his clan grounds, now plunged into chaos, and let out a heaven-shaking roar.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, according to intelligence from the front lines, the attackers appear to be wearing the attire of the Xiao Clan..." the clansman said with a grave expression.

"The Xiao Clan?" Jialie Bi's thick brows arched like two long blades, and fierce Dou Qi erupted from his body. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you saying the ones attacking my Jialie Clan are from the Xiao Clan?"

The clansman swallowed hard and nodded slowly, "It should be them."

Upon receiving the confirmation, Jialie Bi let out a roar, and the pressure of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master instantly swept across the heavens and earth. In an instant, the winds surged, and crimson Dou Qi rose into the clouds like a raging fire.

"Xiao Zhan, you dog! You dare to abandon honor and launch a sneak attack on my clan? I will fight you to the death today!"

"All Jialie clansmen, hear my order! Follow me to meet the enemy!"

"Today, I will make the Xiao Clan disappear from Wutan City entirely!"

Jialie Bi's heart burned with rage.

He felt a profound fury regarding the Xiao Clan's surprise attack.

That damned dog Xiao Zhan had actually abandoned all honor to launch a sneak attack. He never imagined that his Jialie Clan would be caught off guard, allowing the enemy to breach all four sectors.

The Xiao Clan was utterly shameless!

Now that his family was under attack, he, as the Clan Leader, could not sit idly by.

After venting the fire in his heart, he immediately donned his custom-made armor and led the high-ranking members of the Jialie Clan in a grand charge toward the battlefield.

In terms of overall strength, the Jialie Clan was superior to the Xiao Clan.

Although the Xiao Clan had gained an advantage through their sneak attack and captured four sectors, the Jialie Clan was no pushover. After the initial panic, the remaining clansmen, led by their superiors, constructed layers of defense in the core area to halt the Xiao Clan's advance.

Soon, the battle lines between the two sides reached a stalemate in the central plaza of the Jialie Clan.

"Xiao Zhan, you dog, give me your life!"

A heaven-shaking roar echoed from the sky.

In an instant, a crimson blade aura, suffused with bone-chilling cold, tore through the sky.

The fierce momentum shocked everyone present; the vast pressure felt like a towering mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"Hmph, old thief Jialie, do you really think I fear you?"

Xiao Zhan recognized the voice immediately. Watching the terrifying blade aura descend from above, he let out a low growl, his body covered in pale cyan Dou Qi, which finally condensed into a phantom lion's head before him.

Furious Lion Rage!

He raised his hand and threw a punch.

The phantom lion's head transformed into surging Dou Qi, wrapped around his fist. Its momentum was vast, in no way inferior to the crimson blade aura above.

Boom!

The two attacks collided, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

A piercing explosion rang out over the Jialie Clan, and the terrifying shockwave slammed into the surroundings, instantly destroying several nearby houses. Countless fragments of stone and wood flew through the air, and the powerful force sent both men reeling backward.

Thump, thump, thump—

Two figures flew backward from the explosion.

They retreated dozens of steps before finally coming to a halt.

Qi churned within both their bodies, their faces flushed red. It took a long time of deep breathing before they could slowly calm their boiling Dou Qi.

And just like that, an attack launched in fury ended in a stalemate.
