Destroying the Sand Mercenary Corps!

Just then, with a thunderous boom, the front gate was blasted away.

Several burly men rushed inside.

Judging by their clothing, they were none other than members of the Sand Mercenary Corps.

At their head was Luo Bu, a Da Dou Shi!

A strategist followed behind him.

Dozens of men surrounded the entire Desert Iron Mercenary Corps compound.

Luo Bu strode in, broad and muscular, tattoos covering his body. He looked like someone no one should provoke.

"Xiao Ding, you actually dared to kill our people!"

"Today, your Desert Iron Mercenary Corps must give me an explanation."

"Otherwise—"

"This beauty will die!"

At that moment, members of the Sand Mercenary Corps dragged a shapely beauty in from outside.

Xiao Li's eyes widened. "Xue Lan!"

Xue Lan's delicate skin was covered in wounds, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Commander, don't worry about me!"

The Sand Mercenary Corps' scheming strategist revealed a lewd smile.

"Xiao Ding, if you don't hand over the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps and get out of Stone Ink City, don't blame us for showing no mercy."

"Or perhaps you want to watch her die right in front of you."

As he spoke, he placed a blade against Xue Lan's neck.

Xiao Tian slowly sat up.

"Commander, it was him! He killed our people!"

"I saw it myself!"

One of the Sand Mercenary Corps members pointed at Xiao Tian and shouted.

Luo Bu narrowed his eyes. "Kid, you've really got some nerve, actually—!"

Xiao Tian raised a hand and directly pulled Luo Bu over, gripping him in his palm.

Luo Bu's pupils shrank, terror filling his heart!

He struggled desperately. "P-please... please...!"

His eyes had already begun to roll back.

"Too noisy!"

Xiao Tian did not bother listening to what he wanted to say. It was probably some plea for mercy. Xiao Tian could not be bothered to hear it, and Luo Bu did not deserve to say it. Then he slammed him into the ground!

Puh!

Luo Bu spat out blood and was smashed to death on the spot.

The members of the Sand Mercenary Corps were dumbfounded.

Their commander had been a Da Dou Shi-level expert!

In all of Stone Ink City, he had been practically unrivaled.

How had he been smashed to death today?

"Run!" The entire Sand Mercenary Corps turned pale with fear and fled for their lives!

Xiao Tian slowly sat back down. Countless blades and swords rose into the air, slashing toward the fleeing Sand Mercenary Corps members!

"Ahhh—"

Amid wave after wave of screams, every one of them was effortlessly slaughtered. After all, Xiao Tian was now a Dou Zong. Killing people like them was no different from crushing ants.

He could not even be bothered to act personally. They could only blame their bad luck for coming to cause trouble while he was still here.

In the blink of an eye, the Sand Mercenary Corps, who had come to provoke them, had been casually wiped out by Xiao Tian.

Seeing this, everyone in the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps, including Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, was stunned by Xiao Tian's strength.

In the letter, their father Xiao Zhan had only said that Xiao Tian would come looking for them. They had never expected their eldest brother to be able to kill a Da Dou Shi-level opponent with a mere wave of his hand.

They had been confronting the Sand Mercenary Corps all this time, and neither of them had been a match for the Sand Mercenary Corps.

"Big Brother, you're so strong!" Xiao Li finally began to recover from his shock. Just moments ago, they had been prepared to take up their spears and fight the Sand Mercenary Corps to the death!

The Desert Iron Mercenary Corps immediately became lively.

Many people were overjoyed.

Because Luo Bu of the Sand Mercenary Corps was dead, which meant everything was over.

Here, they would become the strongest force.

They would no longer need to fear threats from the Sand Mercenary Corps.

At that moment, the courtyard was filled with prepared food and wine!

Xiao Li and Xiao Ding laughed heartily as they raised their cups and toasted Xiao Tian.

They immersed themselves in laughter and celebration.

As they spoke with Xiao Tian, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li grew more and more shocked.

They learned about the Misty Cloud Sect, as well as why the Xiao Clan had become stronger.

They also learned about their mother.

"I never expected Big Brother to go through so much right after returning." Xiao Ding looked astonished.

Neither he nor Xiao Li had ever imagined that their eldest brother had already become a Dou Zong expert.

In the Jia Ma Empire, such an expert was invincible.

In the past, even Dou Emperor experts had been figures they could only look up to. Now, the Xiao Clan had actually produced a Dou Zong.

They truly dared not imagine how far the Xiao Clan would grow in the future.

When they had left, the Xiao Clan had still been threatened by the Jia Lie Clan.

Now, it was already completely different.

"Big Brother, do you mean for us to return to the Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Ding asked after taking a drink.

Xiao Li looked delighted. Just thinking about having a Dou Zong elder brother made him wonder who would dare bully the Xiao Clan in the future.

"Yes. Didn't we leave to make the Xiao Clan stronger? Now that we return, we can also help Father shoulder his burdens."

Xiao Ding narrowed his eyes and slowly set down his wine cup. "But our strength is still too weak."

Xiao Tian directly took out several medicine bottles!

"Second Brother, Third Brother."

"Cultivation is very simple for Big Brother."

"Of course, you can also continue managing the forces in Stone Ink City."

"These are some pills Big Brother is giving you. They will help improve your strength."

Xiao Ding frowned slightly as Xiao Tian laid out a huge pile of bottles all at once.

As a seventh-rank alchemist, Xiao Tian had refined these whenever he was bored. He usually ate them like candy.

These low-grade pills were perfect for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

Xiao Ding was shocked, his eyes widening. "Big Brother, where did you get so many pills?"

"These pills are extremely precious. What will you do if you give them all to us?"

Xiao Tian smiled. "I forgot to tell you, but Big Brother is also an alchemist. I refined these casually."

Xiao Li swallowed hard. "An alchemist? Big Brother, you're truly unbeatable."

"These are... first-rank Rejuvenation Pills! Second-rank Qi-Recovery Pills, third-rank Windwalk Pills, fourth-rank Three-Pattern Clear Spirit Pills, fifth-rank Restorative Pills, and sixth-rank Dou Ling Pills!"

"So many pills! These are enough for us to cultivate all the way to the Dou Ling realm!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were both utterly stunned.

Big Brother Xiao Tian was truly wealthy. If these pills appeared anywhere in the Jia Ma Empire, people would fight desperately over them.

This was simply an enormous fortune.

"Big Brother, these are too valuable. We can't accept them." Xiao Ding hurriedly said.

Xiao Tian continued, "Stop refusing. Everyone in the Xiao Clan is using these things now."

"And these things are nothing special in Central Province."

That was why Dou Emperors were so common there.

Now, he would make a few improvements to the Xiao Clan.

First, he would make the Xiao Clan the number one clan in the Jia Ma Empire!

It would be rather ridiculous if there were not at least a few Dou Emperors in the family.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, your task now is to improve your strength as quickly as possible."

"Only then can you protect everything you want to protect!"

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li stopped refusing and accepted the pills their eldest brother had given them.

"Oh, right. There are also some Dou Techniques here. Third Brother, your Dou Qi is lightning-attributed, right? These Dou Techniques should suit you."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up. "Thunderclap Palm? Great!"

These were Dou Techniques Xiao Tian had gathered over time, and they were just right for Xiao Li and Xiao Ding to cultivate.

At this rate, they might even become Dou King experts!

Xiao Tian stroked his chin. Although the Dou Emperor Bloodline within him was thin, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Bloodline seemed even stronger.

If he broke through to Dou Emperor, would his entire family's strength soar dramatically?
