Xiao Wu's Domineering Ways
Several days ago, in the Ancient Desolate Domain, before the Bodhi Ancient Tree, there was an abundance of truly powerful figures. Dou Sheng Expert from the Soul Clan, the Gu Clan, the Heavenly Mansion, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Langya Pavilion all appeared there.
Many other factions, knowing they couldn't get involved in the struggle between the Super faction, wisely retreated and observed the battle from the outside.
Seeing the several Dou Sheng Expert eyeing them menacingly, Xian'er, her face slightly pale, tugged at Xiao Wu's sleeve and whispered, "Senior brother, should we retreat first?"
"Then we'll seek revenge on the Soul Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?"
Xiao Wu's expression was cold and stern as he stood protectively in front of Xian'er. "Stay behind your senior brother. The three old guys from the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix are no threat at all."
"How dare you lay a hand on me? You must be tired of living."
Seeing this, Xian'er could only watch the confrontation unfold from the sidelines.
"Lord Xiao Wu, as the Dou Sheng representative of the Langya Pavilion, shouldn't you offer some explanation regarding this matter?" A phoenix-eyed woman in colorful clothes said coldly.
"Explanation? Explain what?" Xiao Wu sneered.
"Explain why you old fogies would lower yourselves to kill a junior who hasn't even reached the Saint Realm? Or is it because your juniors were simply outmatched and almost got wiped out by our Langya Pavilion in a two-on-one fight?"
Xiao Wu's longsword gleamed coldly, pointing directly at the proud and beautiful woman before him.
"Phoenix, is your Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan planning to continue that unfinished war with our Langya Pavilion?"
"Hehehe~ Xiao Wu, it seems Langya Pavilion has given you quite a bit of courage!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Who do we have here? Even a rat from the Soul Clan dares to show up at a time like this."
"Two of them still came, one a one-star and the other a two-star. Do they really think they can do anything to us with this little bit of ability?"
He glanced disdainfully at the Hun Yu hiding in the back, glaring at him with resentment. "Your clan leader candidate doesn't seem to deserve this!"
Hearing the sarcasm in Xiao Wu's words, Hun Yu Kong suddenly shrank back, clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, and blood flowed down his palms.
The old Soul Clan Dou Sheng chuckled sinisterly, his voice hoarse, "You're not qualified to judge our clan leader candidates."
"Your Langya Pavilion has caused such terrible losses to our clan, and even Hun Yu was almost killed. For the sake of the Ice Saint, as long as that little girl bows her head and apologizes, we will let bygones be bygones."
"Mo Lao..." Hun Yu was anxious. He had suffered heavy losses this time. The Three Heavenly Venerates Ku Mu, the Ninth Turn Dou Zun Peak, had died at the hands of that woman. Only two or three of his trusted subordinates had survived. How could he let it go so easily?
Suddenly catching a glimpse of the other person's extremely dangerous gaze, he felt a chill in his heart and fell silent.
Immediately afterward, Hun Yu heard Mo Lao's extremely cold voice. "We have that one from the Langya Pavilion, that's enough. Now is not the time to tear off our mask. You'll have to bear any grievances with me."
"Furthermore, you are not yet the clan leader, and you are not qualified to tell me how to act. There are many others in the clan who could replace you. Recognize your place!"
"Yes! This junior has learned a lot." Hun Yu's eyes flashed with intense hatred, but his expression was extremely respectful.
"It's good that you understand," Mo Lao said calmly.
He then turned to Xiao Wu with a forced smile and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
"Consider? Consider what?" Xiao Wu said coldly, "Do you think you can go back today?"
Mo Lao paused slightly, then said with a hint of amusement, "Does Lord Xiao Wu perhaps think those two would be willing to help you fight against my Soul Clan?"
He thought Xiao Wu was planning to join forces with the Gu Clan's Dou Sheng and the Heavenly Mansion's Elder Yao to attack them from both sides, but Mo Lao didn't think they had the guts.
The Elder Yao and the Gu Clan's Dou Sheng also showed their troubles. Although they were not afraid of the strength of the two Soul Clan, they had to consider the attitude of the people behind them.
Starting a war rashly is not in their favor.
Just then, Elder Yao suddenly froze, glancing subtly in Xiao Wu's direction. The latter nodded secretly, and Elder Yao's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu said, "As your juniors, I'm giving you a chance to choose how you'll die."
"Old bastards from the Soul Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, have you decided how you want to die?"
"What did you say?" The Phoenix and the two elders of the Soul Clan, who had already been considering retreating, stared at Xiao Wu with wide eyes as if they had heard something unbelievable.
"Sometimes talking to you old fogies is exhausting." Xiao Wu shook his head helplessly, but said nothing more.
"Let you experience pain firsthand."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Langya Pavilion suddenly felt a gentle force lift them up and carry them to the location of the Heavenly Mansion, where they were caught by the prepared Elder Yao.
"Ah!"
Before Mo Lao and the others could react to Xiao Wu's sudden attack, they heard screams rising from behind them.
His expression changed drastically as he looked behind him, and then...
"You're asking for it!"
Mo Lao and the others looked extremely grim. Apart from Hun Yu and Jiu Feng, who were being closely protected, all the remaining members of the Soul Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan had died in a surprise attack by someone.
Xiao Wu reappeared in the same spot, his fingertips lightly tracing the dripping blood from the sword tip, and said with a rather wicked grin:
"What, you gentlemen can't accept this?"
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" Xiao Wu's smile was devoid of any warmth, making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"You should have foreseen the consequences the moment you took action."
The onlookers, Elder Yao and the Gu Clan Dou Sheng, secretly clicked their tongues in amazement. Such ruthless revenge was indeed sharp and satisfying!
However, Mo Lao and the others were not intimidated by Xiao Wu's actions; instead, their anger was ignited.
"It seems the Ice Saint didn't teach his disciple to respect his elders!"
"Senior?" Xiao Wu shook his head and said indifferently, "You are not worthy."
"What a sharp-tongued brat! Today, I'll teach you the rules of the Fierce Qi Continent."
"Ghost Vine Star Binding Hand!" Mo Lao shouted, and his right hand suddenly stretched out, soft and boneless, shooting towards Xiao Wu like a vine.
"Phoenix Flame Burning Heaven!" The Phoenix's aura suddenly surged, and endless flames formed Phoenix phantom hundreds of feet long behind it.
"Screech!" After a scream, a fiery Phoenix, radiating divine light, pounced towards Xiao Wu.
Although the two had only temporarily joined forces, Phoenix's extensive combat experience still made Phoenix instinctively block Xiao Wu's escape route.
With two Two-Star Dou Sheng attacking simultaneously, only one Soul Clan Dou Sheng elder remained to closely protect the remaining two future heirs of their respective clans, which was already a great show of respect for Xiao Wu.
However, Xiao Wu remained unfazed by this combined attack, which was enough to severely injure an ordinary Two-Star Dou Sheng. Instead, he shook his head in disappointment and murmured, "If that's all..."
"Then you'll be the ones who die," Xiao Wu said in a chilling tone.
The handprints shifted rapidly, leaving behind afterimages that traced eerie patterns in the air.
"Drink!"
"Although it's not quite as good as the teacher's, it's more than enough to deal with you guys."
"Frost Duel Arena, rise!"
The powerful figures sensed the looming aura and their expressions changed. "Not good, retreat!"
Immediately, to everyone's astonishment, a massive Battle Stage with a diameter of a thousand feet slowly emerged from the void.
"To bloom with crimson brilliance in the Deep Winter is an honor for you," Xiao Wu said with a smile.
