Not Even Chickens or Dogs Spared, Everyone's Speculations!

The moment this giant finger appeared, the Dou Qi throughout this stretch of heaven and earth erupted into turmoil. Oba Pa and the Ao Ba Family's upper ranks were all horrified.

Even the Tier 3 Alchemist whom Oba Pa called Master Yan had his pupils suddenly contract.

As the giant finger condensed into existence, Xiao Lei's robes fluttered wildly without wind, snapping loudly. Then he took a step forward and pointed into the air!

"Boom! Boom!"

Heaven and Earth Tremor!

As Xiao Lei pointed, the enormous Purple Giant Finger above descended from the clouds and pressed down through the air!

"Rumble!"

Deafening explosions of energy reverberated wildly above the Ao Ba Family.

In an instant, the Ao Ba Family's council hall collapsed with a thunderous crash!

Carrying fierce killing intent, the Purple Giant Finger viciously descended toward Oba Pa below.

Oba Pa's pupils contracted violently, and intense fear rose uncontrollably within him. He had no thought of resisting; all he could think of was dodging!

Yet he suddenly discovered that his body seemed to have been imprisoned in place by some invisible force. He could not even evade.

At the moment of life and death, Oba Pa had no time to think. He frantically mobilized the Dou Qi within him, condensing the Dou Qi Armor possessed only by Da Dou Shi experts over his body!

Just as Oba Pa's Dou Qi Armor took shape, the Purple Giant Finger arrived.

"Bang!"

The Purple Giant Finger struck Oba Pa's Dou Qi Armor. With a single explosive sound, the armor he had formed with all his strength failed to last even a breath before shattering on the spot!

Immediately afterward, the Purple Giant Finger viciously struck Oba Pa in the chest.

"Pop!"

In an instant, a sound like a balloon being punctured rang out. The Purple Giant Finger pierced straight through his chest, leaving behind a transparent hole crackling with lightning arcs!

"Bang!"

Right after that, Oba Pa's body exploded on the spot, flesh and blood scattering through the air!

Silence!

Utter silence!

In an instant, an eerie, deathly stillness descended upon the Ao Ba Family's council hall.

The Ao Ba Family's upper ranks, along with that Tier 3 Alchemist, were all stunned by the horrifying sight and could not help drawing in cold breaths!

Oba Pa, the Ao Ba Family's patriarch, was a powerful Five-Star Da Dou Shi, yet Xiao Lei had killed him in a single move, leaving not even a corpse behind!

Xiao Lei's strength was simply too terrifying!

What frightened them even more was that since Xiao Lei could kill Oba Pa in one strike, killing the rest of them would seemingly be no difficult task either.

At that thought, everyone looked at Xiao Lei with terror in their eyes.

"Y-You're not a Nine-Star Dou Shi!"

An Ao Ba Family elder spoke with a terrified face and a trembling voice.

"You only realized that now? Isn't that far too late? The moment you secretly moved against the Xiao Family, the Ao Ba Family's fate was already sealed," Xiao Lei said calmly, shaking his head slightly.

As he spoke, Xiao Lei swiftly refined a Qi Recovery Pill he had hidden in his mouth beforehand. The Dou Qi he had expended was rapidly recovering.

A High-tier Dou Technique consumed an absolutely terrifying amount of energy!

Still, this time, Xiao Lei had not been drained of Dou Qi as completely as he had been last time.

Upon hearing this, fear and panic immediately surged into the eyes of the Ao Ba Family's upper ranks, and they wanted to flee.

Though the Tier 3 Alchemist had also been greatly frightened by Xiao Lei's methods, he was unwilling to lay down the pride of a Tier 3 Alchemist.

"Don't let him bluff you. That Dou Technique of his was indeed powerful, but its consumption must also have been terrifying."

"Xiao Lei has barely any strength left now. Take this chance and attack together. Kill him and eliminate all future trouble!"

Hearing the Tier 3 Alchemist's words, the Ao Ba Family's upper ranks could not help being moved. New thoughts arose in their hearts.

Just then, Xiao Lei's right hand suddenly shot out from his sleeve. Between his two fingers, an inconspicuous Black Lightning Beam abruptly streaked forth.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound tore through the air as the Black Lightning Beam instantly struck the Tier 3 Alchemist in the heart!

"Sizzle!"

In an instant, the Tier 3 Alchemist's heart was pierced by the Black Lightning Beam, leaving behind a charred, transparent hole!

"Y-You..."

The Tier 3 Alchemist only had time to utter a single word before he completely lost his life. His corpse fell backward, his eyes still open in death!

Hiss!

Within the council hall, the Ao Ba Family's upper ranks drew another cold breath at the sight, their eyes filled with shock.

"Gulp..."

Oba Pa and the Tier 3 Alchemist had both been instantly killed by Xiao Lei in succession, making their throats bob uncontrollably.

"Run!"

Someone suddenly shouted and fled toward the entrance of the council hall.

In an instant, everyone used every ounce of strength they had, fleeing madly in all directions!

Xiao Lei merely watched the Ao Ba Family members scatter like frightened animals. He did not pursue them, only issuing a cold and merciless order.

"Leave not even chickens or dogs alive!"

As Xiao Lei's voice fell, a black figure holding a long sword suddenly appeared in the hall. It was the puppet with the strength of a Three-Star Dou Ling.

"Yes!"

The Dou Ling Puppet answered respectfully, then flickered and vanished into the night.

"Ah! No!"

"Spare me! I don't want to die!"

"Help!"

"..."

Very soon, a succession of miserable screams rang out throughout the Ao Ba Family.

Those agonized screams spread through the darkness, filling everyone secretly watching the Ao Ba Family with horror!

When Xiao Lei had unleashed the Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Finger, its terrifying fluctuations had already drawn the attention of countless people in Wu Tan City.

Including Xiao Zhan of the Xiao Family, experts from every faction in Wu Tan City had quietly gathered in the shadows outside the Ao Ba Family estate, watching how matters unfolded.

Suddenly, someone recalled the night the Jia Lie Family had been exterminated nearly a year ago.

"That black figure seems rather familiar!"

"Nearly a year ago, it seemed that black figure was the one who wiped out the Jia Lie Family. He seemed to be a Dou Ling expert!"

"Hiss! I never expected what happened to the Jia Lie Family back then to be happening to the Ao Ba Family again!"

"Do you think that Dou Ling expert might be connected to the Xiao Family?"

"That really is possible! Back then, the Jia Lie Family clashed with Young Master Xiao Lei of the Xiao Family, and then they were wiped out. And recently, the Ao Ba Family has been suppressing the Xiao Family terribly!"

"..."

Outside the Ao Ba Family estate, Xiao Zhan, hidden in the shadows, felt uncertain and alarmed as he listened to everyone's discussion.

Could that Dou Ling expert truly be standing up for the Xiao Family?

If so, that would be wonderful!

Elsewhere, Ya Fei, the steward of the Mittel Auction House, and Master Gu Ni, its chief alchemist, were also watching the destruction of the Ao Ba Family.

"Uncle Gu Ni, do you think that Dou Ling expert is truly connected to the Xiao Family?"

Ya Fei's eyes rippled as her red lips parted slightly, and she asked Master Gu Ni beside her.
