Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance — Chapter 28

"A Da Dou Shi, a Dou Zhe... Making me deal with people at your level truly dirties my hands!"

"Unfortunately, for the sake of the Xiao Clan, you must all die today..."

The moment Xiao Xuan finished speaking, the middle finger of his right hand twitched slightly.

There was no earth-shattering Dou Technique, only the slightest exertion of force.

Jia Lie Bi, the formidable three-star Da Dou Shi standing opposite him, had just exuded a fierce aura.

Yet his body suddenly exploded as if gripped by an invisible colossal force, blood and shattered bones spraying through the air.

But the instant they touched the red glow surrounding Xiao Yi, they were burned into nothingness.

Everyone else from the Jia Lie Clan met the same fate.

Within that red glow, Xiao Yi's black hair seemed to grow slightly longer, fluttering without wind.

Every strand of hair was tinged with a faint red radiance.

Then Xiao Yi lowered his gaze to his palm and slowly curled his fingers. "This body really is young. If I had a body like this too..."

"Ah, what a pity I don't..."

Xiao Xuan paused before continuing, "I'm returning this body to you, brat! I'm afraid you won't be able to endure it much longer!"

As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, the red glow around Xiao Yi gradually faded, and his slightly lengthened hair returned to normal.

"Phew..."

"Ancestor, your power is far too overbearing. My body is practically crippled..."

Xiao Yi panted heavily, sweat beading across his forehead.

It was not because Xiao Yi was too weak. Xiao Xuan's Emperor Realm soul was simply too terrifying.

Although Xiao Xuan had slept for a thousand years and his soul power had long been greatly diminished, he had still possessed an Emperor Realm soul in life.

With Xiao Yi's current body of a mere Dou Zhe, if Xiao Xuan had not deliberately restrained his strength, Xiao Yi would likely have been blown apart already.

"You brat, if you were stronger, how could this have happened..."

Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice, unable to help complaining about Xiao Yi's weak strength.

As Xiao Yi rubbed his nearly ruptured meridians, he asked in confusion,

"Ancestor, with your strength, there was no need to possess me just to deal with a Da Dou Shi, right? Even in soul form, wouldn't you still kill him instantly?"

"And now, you've nearly crippled me too..."

Xiao Xuan's voice drifted out faintly. "What do you know, brat? Opportunities to fight a Da Dou Shi like this are rare!"

"I only wanted to borrow your body and teach you some practical combat experience..."

"I didn't expect this Da Dou Shi to be so weak. I barely used any strength..."

Xiao Yi still wanted to complain. "Ancestor, what level are you at, and what level is a Da Dou Shi at?"

"Could you at least give me some warning before possessing me next time? I really can't take it..."

Xiao Xuan said, "Stop running your mouth. Hurry up and improve your strength. It'll lessen your suffering in the future!"

Xiao Yi could only answer with a bitter smile.

A moment later, Xiao Yi slowly rose to his feet and looked toward the Jia Lie Clan residence, which had been bustling just moments ago.

Now, not a single person remained.

One could even say that not even scraps were left behind.

Xiao Yi could not help clicking his tongue repeatedly. He knew Xiao Xuan was powerful,

but seeing it with his own eyes still left Xiao Yi deeply shaken.

More importantly, Xiao Xuan was currently only a soul body that had slept for a thousand years—and one that had once self-destructed.

His strength was likely not even one percent of what it had been at his peak, yet it was already this terrifying.

Xiao Yi did not even dare imagine the scene from a thousand years ago, when the half-step Dou Di Xiao Xuan had fought Hun Tiandi.

Just as Xiao Yi got up and began inspecting the Jia Lie Clan, an extremely lecherous voice rang out.

"Jia Lie Bi, what are you doing?"

"You're making such a huge commotion. Don't you know you've interrupted my important business?"

Xiao Yi looked toward the voice and saw a tall, exceptionally ugly man slowly stepping out.

Especially the lecherous gleam flashing in his eyes—it made anyone who saw it deeply uncomfortable.

Yet when Xiao Yi saw this person, a trace of excitement flashed through his eyes.

"Liu Xi?"

Liu Xi staggered unsteadily as he shouted toward Xiao Yi,

"You little brat, get lost!"

"You ruined my fun. I'll cripple you today!"

Liu Xi had not realized in the slightest that the Jia Lie Clan had already been completely wiped out. He was wholly immersed in his own den of pleasure.

Seeing Liu Xi's pale, filthy face, Xiao Yi could not help sneering.

Trash as lecherous and disgusting as this would have died countless times already if he were not an alchemist.

This also showed just how high the status of alchemists was on the Dou Qi Continent.

Even a useless first-tier alchemist like Liu Xi could be treated like a lord in Wutan City.

"Trash like you—how convenient. One more makes no difference, so you can die with them!"

A cold glint flashed across the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in Xiao Yi's hand as he spoke coldly.

Hearing Xiao Yi say this, Liu Xi instantly sobered up by more than half.

Yet he still wore that arrogant, superior expression.

"Impudent! Do you know who I am?"

"My name is Liu Xi. I am a dignified first-tier alchemist. If you offend me, not only you, but your entire family behind you will have to pay for your sins!"

Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly. "A first-tier alchemist? In my eyes, there's no difference between you and trash!"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Dou Qi surged around his body and swiftly flowed toward the tip of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear.

Sensing Xiao Yi's aura as a three-star Dou Zhe, Liu Xi's slightly tense nerves immediately relaxed.

"I thought you were some great expert. You're merely a three-star Dou Zhe, yet you dare spout such nonsense again?"

As Liu Xi finished speaking, the Dou Qi of a six-star Dou Zhe instantly erupted from his body.

Although Liu Xi was a six-star Dou Zhe, he was lax in his cultivation and indulged in debauchery every day, making his Dou Qi appear extremely unstable.

It was simply not on the same level as Xiao Yi's Dou Qi, which had undergone countless temperings.

"So what if I'm a three-star Dou Zhe? Dealing with trash like you is more than enough!"

The moment Xiao Yi finished speaking, the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear swept out in an arc.

Xiao Yi's figure had already flashed before Liu Xi with incredible speed.

At that moment, Liu Xi's expression finally changed drastically as panic overtook him.

"What speed!"

But before Liu Xi's words had even faded, the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in Xiao Yi's hand had already thrust toward his throat.

Though Liu Xi's Dou Qi was unstable, he had still reached the level of a six-star Dou Zhe.

He barely managed to retreat a step backward and evade Xiao Yi's lethal thrust.

Still, the spear tore open his throat, and a little blood seeped out.

Feeling the fierce assault of Xiao Yi's spear techniques, Liu Xi was finally afraid.

As an alchemist, he knew he was no match for Xiao Yi. He hurriedly invoked his backing in an attempt to intimidate him.

"Friend! My master is a fourth-tier alchemist. If you spare me today, both my master and I will owe you a favor in the future!"

However, Xiao Yi only said coldly, "A fourth-tier alchemist?"

"Sorry, but I have no use for the favor of a fourth-tier alchemist!"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, the tip of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear flicked up in a flourish.

A flash of cold light streaked through the air, and Liu Xi's right arm fell to the ground.

Intense pain swept through Liu Xi's body. "If you kill me today, you won't live long either!"

But Xiao Yi showed no fear whatsoever. With Xiao Xuan protecting his path, not only in the Jia Ma Empire, but even in the Central Plains,

Xiao Yi feared no revenge!

With his ancestor's protection, he could be this domineering!
