The Destruction of the Jia Lie Family, an Unexpected Windfall!

Just then, a stern-faced middle-aged man dressed in black suddenly appeared before Xiao Lei.

His left hand shot out like lightning and instantly seized Gale Bi's wrist.

Crack!

With a crisp snap, Gale Bi's right wrist was crushed by the man in black!

"Aaah!"

A cry of agony escaped Gale Bi's mouth.

At the same time, the man in black clenched his right hand. Vast Dou Qi surged from within him, rapidly churning in his palm. In the blink of an eye, it formed an energy spear entirely condensed from Dou Qi!

With a flick of his right hand, the fiery red energy spear streaked forward with a dazzling tail and thundered toward Gale Bi's chest!

"Condensing Dou Qi into an object—you're... a Dou Ling!"

Seeing the fiery red energy spear hurtling toward him, Gale Bi's eyes filled with intense shock as he cried out in terror.

Condensing Dou Qi into an object was the mark of a Dou Ling expert. Like a Dou Qi Gauze Armor used by a Dou Shi, it was a privilege exclusive to experts at the Dou Ling realm and above!

When used in conjunction with a Dou Technique, the destructive power of such condensed Dou Qi would undoubtedly be devastating!

Liu Xi and Galeo, standing nearby, both turned pale as boundless terror swiftly rose from the depths of their hearts.

A Dou Ling!

That was an expert a full realm above a Da Dou Shi. Not even the three great families of Wu Tan City could produce a single Dou Ling!

They had never imagined that a Dou Ling expert would be guarding Xiao Lei!

"No!"

A despairing cry rang out. Before Gale Bi's terrified eyes, the fiery red energy spear instantly pierced through his chest!

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Violent fiery red Dou Qi raced through Gale Bi's body. Like a leaking balloon, his body produced a string of explosive pops!

Boom!

In the end, Gale Bi's entire body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood that scattered through the air!

A Storage Ring flew out as well. The man in black reached out with his large hand and caught it, then walked over to Xiao Lei and respectfully presented it to him.

"Not bad. Go kill everyone in the Jia Lie Family!"

Xiao Lei took the Storage Ring and spoke to the man in black.

"Yes, Master!"

The man in black respectfully acknowledged the order, then turned and left the room, heading off to slaughter the other members of the Jia Lie Family.

This man in black was naturally the Three-Star Dou Ling puppet Xiao Lei had obtained earlier as a reward from the lottery draw.

However, unlike the puppets of the Dou Qi Continent, this puppet was more like a dead warrior utterly loyal to Xiao Lei!

Very soon, a feast of slaughter unfolded within the Jia Lie Family!

Screams, cries, pleas for mercy, and curses rang out continuously through the night, gradually weakening until they completely vanished...

"Father!"

Inside the room, Galeo was stunned by the sudden scene. Only after a long while did he recover, letting out a startled cry as despair and terror filled his heart.

Even his father had been blown apart in a single move by the man in black. His greatest support was gone. How could Galeo not feel despair and fear?

Liu Xi, standing beside him, swallowed with difficulty, his heart equally shaken.

"Young Master Xiao, this is a matter between you and the Jia Lie Family. As an outsider, I won't intrude any longer."

Liu Xi's eyes shifted as he spoke to Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei sneered when he heard that. "That wasn't what you said just now. Since you intended to join forces with the Jia Lie Family against the Xiao Family, you should have prepared yourself to die!"

Liu Xi's expression immediately changed upon hearing Xiao Lei's words. Putting on a fierce front to hide his weakness, he said:

"You dare kill me? My master is a distinguished Tier 3 Alchemist. If you kill me, when my master comes, the entire Xiao Family will be buried with me!"

"You needn't worry about that."

Xiao Lei smiled faintly and extended his right hand. Purple Dou Qi gathered within it, lightning arcs seeming to flicker across his palm. Swift as rushing thunder, he struck Liu Xi's chest with a palm!

Rumble!

As his palm shot out, it seemed as if thunder roared. It was precisely the self-created Dou Technique of Xiao Lei's, Thunderbolt Palm!

Faced with Xiao Lei's attack, Liu Xi's expression changed drastically. It was already too late for him to dodge.

Bang!

A dull impact sounded as Xiao Lei's right palm, crackling with lightning arcs, slammed fiercely into Liu Xi's chest.

Ding! You touched Liu Xi and obtained ten Qi Recovery Pills!

At the same time, the familiar voice of the system rang out in Xiao Lei's mind once more.

Ten Qi Recovery Pills—not bad.

Hearing the system's reward notification, Xiao Lei's heart stirred. This was quite an unexpected windfall.

Qi Recovery Pills were mainly used to speed up the recovery of Dou Qi when too much had been expended.

The effect of this medicinal pill was simple, but it was also quite practical.

Pfft!

At that moment, Liu Xi's eyes bulged as blood sprayed wildly from his mouth, mixed with fragments of internal organs.

"My master will avenge... me!"

After leaving behind those final words, Liu Xi quickly lost all signs of life. His corpse fell backward, his eyes wide open in death.

To guard against any trickery, Xiao Lei bent down and smashed Liu Xi's head with a palm strike.

Then Xiao Lei stood again and looked at Galeo, whose face was filled with terror. "Next, it's your turn..."

"Xiao Lei, you're ruthless!"

Seeing his father and Liu Xi die one after another, while hearing the screams of his clansmen outside, Galeo fell into utter despair. His gaze toward Xiao Lei was filled with hatred.

"Heh. When you were plotting against my Xiao Family and wanted to torture me to death, you didn't think yourselves ruthless?"

Xiao Lei stared straight at Galeo and sneered.

Galeo's expression shifted. "How did you know?"

"There's no need to tell you that." Xiao Lei smiled faintly and walked toward Galeo step by step.

"Y-you... what are you going to do?" Watching Xiao Lei approach, a chill immediately rose in Galeo's heart, and his voice trembled.

"Naturally, I'm going to kill you. I'll do as you wished and make you suffer bit by bit until you die!"

Xiao Lei sneered.

As his words fell, Xiao Lei had already reached Galeo's side. He raised his right foot and viciously stomped down on Galeo's thigh.

Crack!

With a crisp snap, Galeo's still-unhealed thigh was crushed beneath Xiao Lei's foot, bones and tendons shattered!

"Aaah!"

Galeo's face was bloodless as he let out a shrill scream.

Xiao Lei raised his foot and brought it down again and again...

Crack!

Crack!

Crisp sounds of bones breaking rang out one after another. Galeo's toes, ankles, calves, fingers, wrists, and more were all spared nothing!

"Aah! Aah..."

As the repeated sounds of shattering bones rang out, Galeo's screams continued to echo through the night sky.

At last, Xiao Lei stomped down with one foot. With a boom, Galeo's head exploded!

At that point, the screams abruptly stopped!

Galeo had gotten his wish and died in the manner he liked!

After killing Galeo, Xiao Lei's figure flashed as he left the blood-soaked room and headed for the Jia Lie Family's Douqi Pavilion.

On the Dou Qi Continent, families and factions with some strength would all possess places similar to a Douqi Pavilion.

The internal layouts of the Jia Lie Family and the Xiao Family were largely similar. Xiao Lei quickly emptied out the Jia Lie Family's Dou Techniques and various Dou Qi Cultivation Methods.

As for the people guarding the Jia Lie Family's Douqi Pavilion, they had long since died at the hands of the Dou Ling Puppet.

After collecting the Dou Techniques and Dou Qi Cultivation Methods, Xiao Lei emptied out the Jia Lie Family's treasure vault as well.

In any case, the System Space was limitless, so there was no need to worry about not having enough room for these things.

Just after emptying the Jia Lie Family's treasure vault, Xiao Lei sensed that quite a few people were heading toward the Jia Lie Family.

With a thought, Xiao Lei put away the Dou Ling Puppet, donned the Invisibility Cloak once more, and vanished into the night...
