Taking Action

Facing the joint attack of the two great clans, Xiao Zhan's expression turned grave. He gripped his longsword, forcibly suppressing his injuries as he strode forward. Majestic Dou Qi howled forth.

"Kill."

Xiao Zhan growled low and led the Xiao Clan's many experts into battle.

The two forces collided in an instant, and a vicious, bloodthirsty aura of slaughter spread through the air.

"Bang!"

As the two sides clashed, terrifying shockwaves burst in all directions.

"Pfft!"

A Xiao Clan expert was knocked back, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He had clearly suffered severe injuries.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Zhan, facing the mysterious man, also spat out a mouthful of blood after exchanging a blow. He staggered back several steps, his footing unsteady.

Seeing Xiao Zhan in such a state, everyone in the Xiao Clan changed expression.

Xiao Zhan was the Xiao Clan's patriarch, yet he had been seriously wounded protecting them. This was a tremendous blow to the Xiao Clan. The more weakened Xiao Zhan became, the greater the impact on their morale.

Just then, everyone sensed an extremely terrifying aura suddenly emerge within the battlefield.

Upon sensing that aura, everyone turned to look in the direction from which it came.

Xiao Ming, who had remained within the camp, now had silver light flickering in his hand. The super divine artifact, Gungnir, instantly appeared in his grasp.

Xiao Ming then lightly swung Gungnir in his hand. After charging up for a moment, he leaped high from where he stood and landed in the very center of the battlefield.

In an instant, everyone present fixed their eyes on Xiao Ming.

The moment Xiao Ming landed, members of the other two great clans immediately abandoned the enemies before them and charged toward him.

Xiao Ming showed no fear at all.

"Kill..."

In an instant, the experts of the two great clans roared in fury. They attacked together, charging toward Xiao Ming.

Watching the enemies continuously rush toward him, Xiao Ming immediately began wielding Gungnir.

As a super divine artifact, Gungnir's heaven-defying innate attributes played a crucial role at that moment.

The cultivators of the two clans were like paper before Gungnir, utterly incapable of resisting.

They were all crushed in a single blow by Gungnir's inherent guaranteed-kill attribute.

In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, an utterly empty zone had formed around Xiao Ming.

Looking at Xiao Ming, who resembled a god of slaughter, the cultivators of the two clans did not dare step forward for the moment.

"Who exactly are you?" Jia Lie Bi stared darkly at Xiao Ming on the Xiao Clan's side.

"Hmph. Though our Xiao Clan usually keeps a low profile, that does not mean vermin like you can run wild here," Xiao Ming said with a cold laugh.

"Brat, you're courting death!"

Hearing Xiao Ming's mockery, Jia Lie Bi flew into a complete rage. An incomparably terrifying force swept out in an instant.

In the next moment, he charged straight at Xiao Ming.

Jia Lie Bi was a genuine peak nine-star Grand Dou Master. At such terrifying speed, he had rushed into the battlefield and arrived before Xiao Ming in the blink of an eye.

"Bang..."

Jia Lie Bi bent his legs and kicked off the ground. His body shot upward like an arrow loosed from a bow, then blasted toward Xiao Ming.

Facing Jia Lie Bi's terrifying strike, Xiao Ming's expression was icy. Without the slightest fear, he shot into the air and swept out with a fierce spear strike.

The two foremost figures on the battlefield collided in an instant.

Terrifying winds howled as a destructive fluctuation erupted. In an instant, the violent gusts sent the surrounding trees flying.

Jia Lie Bi's fist struck directly against the Gungnir Xiao Ming had thrust out.

"Clang..."

A crisp metallic ringing suddenly sounded, and Jia Lie Bi's body was violently hurled backward.

"Splat!"

At the same time, Xiao Ming thrust out with his spear. The spear light howled as it instantly pierced the spot where Jia Lie Bi had just been standing.

"Aah..."

A miserable scream suddenly rang out. While Jia Lie Bi was flying backward, his right arm was severed, blood spraying everywhere.

"How is that possible?"

Jia Lie Bi's face was filled with horror. He had clearly avoided the vital points just now, yet this youth from the Xiao Clan had crippled him in one move. Such strength terrified him beyond measure.

"Kill!"

Seeing Xiao Ming gain the upper hand, the Xiao Clan's many martial artists roared one after another, each unleashing terrifying attacks.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Dense sounds of air tearing rang without end. The Xiao Clan's many experts wielded their weapons, carrying overwhelming killing intent as they swept toward the Jia Lie Clan's martial artists from all sides.

"Retreat, quickly..."

Seeing the Xiao Clan's terrifying offensive, the remaining Jia Lie Clan members' expressions changed drastically. They had no mind to keep fighting and immediately began retreating.

The Xiao Clan pursued relentlessly. For a time, the entire forest was filled with shouts of battle and the clash of blades, while the scent of blood permeated the air.

Jia Lie Bi's expression was incomparably grim. The Xiao Clan's fierce offensive made him realize that it was basically impossible to wipe out the Xiao Clan today. Instead, they would pay an extremely severe price.

"Damn it! Ao Bapa, Yun Xi, are you still not going to act?!"

An enraged roar rolled from Jia Lie Bi's throat. He could no longer stay here. If this continued, they would all likely be buried here.

Ao Bapa, Yun Xi, and the others had long been prepared. Upon hearing Jia Lie Bi's roar, their figures vanished from where they stood.

"Splat..."

In the span of a spark, Ao Bapa and Yun Xi pounced directly toward Xiao Ming.

"Sssht, sssht!"

Ao Bapa and Yun Xi released their auras, and violent power swept out. Both were Grand Dou Master-level experts. Now that they had joined forces, their might surged to the heavens. They locked onto Xiao Ming, their terrifying attacks crashing down fiercely.

"Damn it."

Facing Ao Bapa and Yun Xi's assault, Xiao Ming knew that he could not afford to be careless.

The Xiao Clan's many experts were currently entangled by the other two clans and could not break free to help him anytime soon.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the two men charge at him aggressively, Xiao Ming decisively immersed his consciousness into Gungnir.

As Xiao Ming continued to act with his hands, Jia Lie Bi and the other man rushing rapidly toward him soon instinctively sensed an extremely terrifying aura suddenly lock onto them.

"Not good..."

Sensing that terrifying aura, Ao Bapa and Yun Xi's hearts pounded wildly. They both stopped their attacks, turned, and retreated rapidly.

However, even so, they were still half a beat too slow. Before their attacks could be fully unleashed, Xiao Ming's offensive had already arrived.

"Bang..."
