Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

They showed no fear at all and still charged at Xiao Yi without regard for their lives.

A sharp light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes as a layer of red Dou Qi instantly wrapped around the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear.

"Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art!"

The shaft of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in his hand suddenly trembled.

The dragon patterns on the pitch-black spear shaft lit up with a faint golden glow, as though they had come alive.

The next second, the Dou Qi within Xiao Yi's body surged wildly toward the spearhead, the energy of a three-star Dou Fighter raging through the spear.

A halo of pale gold and red light intertwined and spread from the spear shaft. The surrounding air buzzed from the vibrations, and dust sifted down from the walls on both sides of the alley.

At the spearhead, Dou Qi condensed into a half-foot-long blaze of light, within which the phantom of a dragon's head could vaguely be seen.

As the light blaze swept over the ground, it plowed deep furrows through the blue stone slabs.

Seeing this, the guards who had fearlessly charged forward finally realized the power of Xiao Yi's Dou Technique.

Without the slightest hesitation, they turned and tried to flee!

But since they had not left earlier, it was already too late.

"Die!"

Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice, and the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in his hand swept out.

"Boom!"

The half-foot-long blaze of light, wrapped around a faintly visible dragon's head, shot toward them.

It was incredibly fast. The guards trying to flee had no time to dodge at all.

In an instant, they were swallowed by the blaze of light and vanished from where they stood within a few breaths.

Even a section of the Jia Lie Clan's wall collapsed with a thunderous crash.

"As expected of an earth-tier Dou Technique. Its power really isn't bad!"

Xiao Yi nodded in great satisfaction at the sight.

Although this was the second time he had used the Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art in actual combat, the first time had been during a spar with Xiao Yu in the clan. Back then, Xiao Yi had held back.

He had not truly used his full strength.

Now that he was facing members of the Jia Lie Clan, Xiao Yi had no need to hold back. He only needed to unleash everything he had.

"Brat, is this all you can do? A low earth-tier Dou Technique may be mediocre, but if you had enough Dou Qi in your body, the first art alone could blow the entire Jia Lie Clan apart!"

Xiao Xuan's voice drifted over as he lightly reprimanded Xiao Yi.

"Ancestor, this is still an earth-tier Dou Technique. Isn't it good enough that I can wield such power?"

Xiao Yi could not help defending himself.

Xiao Xuan replied solemnly once more, "Good? Oh, it's very good!"

"Since you're so capable, then you should be able to handle this Jia Lie Clan by yourself, right..."

"I cannot be bothered to act..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi hurriedly said, "Ancestor, please don't! Jia Lie Bi is a Da Dou Master-level expert. I've only just become a Dou Fighter. How could I possibly do that?"

However, just as Xiao Yi finished speaking, the tremendous noise from the battle had drawn all the influential figures of the Jia Lie Clan over.

At the head of them, Jia Lie Bi looked at the collapsed wall of his clan, the shattered plaque, and the several guards lying on the ground.

Though he was burning with rage, when he saw the menacing black-robed figure holding a long spear, he still forcibly suppressed his anger and cupped his hands.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

"I do not know where my Jia Lie Clan has offended you. Would you be willing to come inside and discuss this matter? If we truly have offended you, whatever compensation is needed, my Jia Lie Clan can provide it!"

At this moment, Jia Lie Bi did not know the strength or background of the black-robed man before him.

It was always better to be cautious.

Otherwise, if he acted rashly, he might offend some great and powerful faction.

Xiao Yi merely said coldly, "There's no need to go inside..."

"The dead have no need to know my name..."

The moment Xiao Yi spoke, Jia Lie'ao beside Jia Lie Bi instantly recognized his voice.

"Xiao Clan trash, Xiao Yi!"

"How dare you!"

Upon hearing Jia Lie'ao's words, Jia Lie Bi, who had been extremely respectful moments before, finally dropped the act. His aura surged explosively.

"Brat of the Xiao Clan, you dare come to my doorstep and commit murder! Even Xiao Zhan would not have such nerve!"

As soon as Jia Lie Bi finished speaking, his body flashed as he charged toward Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi only smiled faintly. "Ancestor!"

"Ancestor?"

"Brat, you dared come to my Jia Lie Clan and commit murder. Whatever you call out now is useless!"

"Even if Xiao Zhan came today, I would not give him the slightest face!"

A sinister smile curled across Jia Lie Bi's lips. He believed Xiao Yi was doomed today.

To Jia Lie Bi, killing one of the Xiao Clan's so-called geniuses would be an enormous boon.

Yet just as Xiao Yi's cry of "Ancestor" fell, a flash of red light gleamed from the storage ring on his finger.

Then, a deep and powerful voice slowly sounded.

"Brat, must I really act against a mere Da Dou Master?"

"Then I shall take this chance to teach you some more practical combat experience..."

As Xiao Xuan's words fell, a red aura surged into Xiao Yi's body in an instant.

The next moment, dazzling light suddenly erupted from Xiao Yi's entire body.

The light did not flow gently. Instead, it exploded like blazing flames, instantly turning the space within three feet of Xiao Yi into a crimson sea of fire!

"Hummm—"

An immensely shocking hum exploded within Xiao Yi's body.

Xiao Yi's pupils abruptly contracted, only to be swallowed by an endless golden torrent in the next instant.

He immediately felt a force coursing through his body.

This power was not warmth, but a domineering force so overwhelming that even heaven and earth seemed to tremble before it.

It flowed from Xiao Yi's fingertips through his meridians and bones, instantly spreading through all four limbs and every part of his body.

"Argh—!"

Xiao Yi instinctively let out a low cry, only to discover that when the sound rolled from his throat, it carried an ancient, weighty quality that did not belong to him.

Xiao Yi did not move, yet the air around him crackled as it was crushed by an invisible pressure. The blue stone slabs beneath his feet cracked at a visible rate, and golden mist even seeped from the fissures.

Most chilling of all was Xiao Yi's gaze.

The eyes that had still carried traces of youthful immaturity moments ago now settled into an ageless chill, like ice that would never melt.

There was no emotion within them, only the indifference of one looking down upon all living beings.

When Xiao Yi slowly raised his head, the black robe around him instantly burst apart, and even the sound of the wind around him abruptly ceased.

It was as though time itself had stopped.

"This feeling of having a physical body... I have not experienced it for a thousand years!"

The instant those words fell, Xiao Yi...

No.

Rather, Xiao Xuan, borrowing Xiao Yi's body, casually lifted his right hand.

In an instant, waves of terrifying pressure descended upon everyone in the Jia Lie Clan.

None of them could move.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Yi's body, the arrogant expression on Jia Lie Bi's face had long since vanished.

From that ancient and weighty voice just now, Jia Lie Bi had already realized that an extremely terrifying existence stood behind Xiao Yi.

Terrified, he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Senior, this lowly one failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended you!"

"I beg Senior to show mercy! This lowly one will immediately lead everyone away from Wutan City and clear the way for the Xiao Clan and Xiao Yi!"

Jia Lie Bi's voice was exceptionally sincere at this moment, seeking only to preserve his life at Xiao Xuan's hands.
