Can I surrender and only lose half?

At that moment, Xuan Tengying wanted nothing more than to curse eighteen generations of Oba Pa's ancestors until they smoked.

Oba Pa, are you even fucking human?

You call this a Dou Ling? What kind of Dou Ling can ignore a Dou Wang's attack and scare him into pissing himself with a single glance?

Not even a Dou Zong or Dou Zun is this terrifying. I must have left home without checking the almanac. This blind cat stumbled into a starving dinosaur-I ran into a Dou Sheng in Wutan City.

Xuan Tengying laughed in fury. Standing there under Xiao Xuan's gaze, he felt utterly awkward, like a clown who had come to throw his life away.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xuan Tengying, baffled. Who even is this guy?

How did a mere Dou Wang actually dare to attack me?

Indeed, Xiao Xuan had noticed Xuan Tengying long ago. The moment Xuan Tengying first stepped into the Xiao Clan's grounds, Xiao Xuan had detected the infiltrating Dou Wang.

He simply hadn't known what the fellow was there for, so he had watched him for a while rather than attacking.

He hadn't expected the fellow to have come to assassinate him. Xiao Xuan was speechless.

I hereby dub you the boldest Dou Wang on the Dou Qi Continent.

Xuan Tengying still wanted to flee, but discovered that he couldn't escape at all. Xiao Xuan's Half-Emperor domain had frozen the space surrounding the Xiao Clan. Never mind him-even a Dou Sheng who stepped inside could forget about escaping.

Despair overwhelmed Xuan Tengying. In the final moment of his life, he couldn't help saying, "Well, uh, Senior, can I surrender and only lose half? Could you spare my life?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head and extended a finger. An unimaginably terrifying finger Dou Technique bore down on Xuan Tengying as though crushing a mosquito.

"No. My rule is, surrender and get split in half."

Although Xiao Xuan had a good temper, that didn't mean he would tolerate anyone who provoked him. Since Xuan Tengying had already attacked him, his death was certain.

Xuan Tengying watched Xiao Xuan's finger Dou Technique reach his face. Crushing him would be as easy as crushing a mosquito.

Xuan Tengying shouted, "Don't kill me! I'm useful! I can tell you who sent me!"

Yet Xiao Xuan's finger never stopped. Before the Dou Wang Xuan Tengying could finish speaking, he had already been crushed into a mist of blood.

Xiao Xuan said, "Why would I need you to tell me anything I want to know?"

He was the Xiao Clan's Half-Emperor. Did he really need someone to speak before he could learn their secrets? Couldn't he simply read their memories?

With a pull of his palm, Xiao Xuan drew out Xuan Tengying's memories.

Soon, he had read all of Xuan Tengying's memories. Within them, Xiao Xuan spotted a familiar figure.

"So that's how it is... I intended to take the Xiao Clan away from this place soon, but it seems there are still people in this tiny Wutan City whose wicked designs on my clan refuse to die."

Xiao Xuan now knew who had hired Xuan Tengying. He had seen Oba Pa's face in Xuan Tengying's memories.

Before this, Xiao Xuan had already given the Ao Ba Family and the Jia Lie Family a warning to keep them in line. The Xiao Clan would soon be leaving Wutan City anyway, but he hadn't expected Oba Pa to still harbor thoughts of wiping them out.

He had brought this trouble upon himself.

Xiao Xuan sighed. Why insist on inviting trouble?

Having watched his ancestor kill that Dou Wang in an instant and then read his memories, Xiao Zhan realized that he seemed to have learned who was targeting their clan.

Xiao Zhan asked, "Ancestor, who exactly wanted to attack our Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Zhan's first suspects were Oba Pa and Jia Lie Bi, because they were the only two people in Wutan City whose wicked designs on the Xiao Clan had never died.

Xiao Xuan didn't answer Xiao Zhan's question. Instead, he said, "It no longer matters. Anyone who wants to attack my Xiao Clan has no need to continue existing on the Dou Qi Continent."

Whether Xiao Zhan knew no longer mattered.

Because the instant Xiao Xuan read Xuan Tengying's memories, he had already prepared to strike.

Now, Xiao Xuan rose and extended a finger again, using the same Dou Technique that had just crushed the Dou Wang Xuan Tengying.

Saint-Slaying Finger!

An enormous finger Dou Technique, its aura powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, descended from above, piercing the firmament as it bore down on Wutan City.

The next second, that finger Dou Technique crushed down upon two corners of Wutan City.

With a deafening hum, the finger descended. Within Wutan City, the two great families were instantly reduced to ash, crushed by Xiao Xuan.

For Xiao Xuan, exterminating a clan was that simple.

The Ao Ba Family and the Jia Lie Family were utterly annihilated.

Oba Pa had only just returned from the Jia Ma Empire. Naturally, his speed fell far short of the Dou Wang Xuan Tengying's.

Oba Pa was still basking in the delight of having a Dou Wang wipe out the Xiao Clan. He eagerly anticipated swallowing up their assets upon his return to Wutan City and becoming the city's foremost family.

However, one second after Oba Pa set foot in Wutan City, he happened to see a finger descend from the sky and crush Xuan Tengying, whose Dou Wang wings were spread as Xiao Xuan held him frozen above the Xiao Clan's grounds.

Xuan Tengying was practically crushed into a mist of blood by Xiao Xuan right before Oba Pa's eyes.

Seeing a mighty Dou Wang utterly powerless to fight back, Oba Pa was stunned with terror.

Then he saw another finger Dou Technique appear above Wutan City and press down as though it would destroy heaven and earth.

He watched the Ao Ba estate, which he had painstakingly built up, get crushed into ash by that finger Dou Technique in an instant.

The neighboring Jia Lie Family met the same fate. One second, Jia Lie Bi was drinking and making merry in his residence; the next, he and the rest of his family had become a cloud of blood mist.

Oba Pa cried, "No, no, no! No!"

Endless regret welled up in Oba Pa's heart.

He couldn't understand when such a powerful figure had appeared in Wutan City.

How could Xiao Xuan possibly be so strong?

A mighty Dou Wang had been killed in a single move, and he could even annihilate the entire Ao Ba Family from afar. Just how powerful did someone have to be to do that?

Had he known Xiao Xuan was this powerful, he would never have gone to the Jia Ma Empire to seek out Xuan Tengying, even if someone beat him to death.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for Oba Pa to regret it.

Xiao Xuan sensed Oba Pa's aura, so he followed up with another finger strike.

Oba Pa had no hope of escaping. Beneath Xiao Xuan's finger, he turned to ash along with his family.

"Almost missed one."

Xiao Xuan withdrew his hand. Amid casual conversation and laughter, he had wiped out Wutan City's other two great families. Such were the terrifying methods of a Half-Emperor.

At that moment, Xiao Zhan still didn't know what had happened.

He had only seen his ancestor make two finger strikes, seemingly unleashing Dou Techniques. Two terrifying finger Dou Techniques had appeared above Wutan City and seemingly crushed something, but Xiao Zhan had no idea what exactly they had crushed.

"Ancestor, what happened?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Xiao Xuan didn't answer. Just then, a Xiao Clan guard hurried over to report.

"Clan leader, terrible news! Something major has happened in Wutan City. Who knows whom the Ao Ba Family and the Jia Lie Family offended, but just now, an incredibly terrifying finger Dou Technique descended from the sky and crushed them into ash. Those two great families no longer exist in Wutan City."

Xiao Zhan was dumbfounded.

So that was what his ancestor had just done. It seemed those two great families must have hired that Dou Wang, Xuan Tengying. No wonder his ancestor had struck.

Only now did Xiao Zhan understand how terrifying Ancestor Xiao Xuan's strength was.

He had remained within the Xiao Clan's grounds and annihilated two great families from afar. Was this the power of a Dou Sheng?

Xiao Zhan then looked at the Xiao Clan guard who had brought the news.

Wasn't the destruction of the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family a good thing? What was so terrible about it?

The guard soon realized it too.

That did seem right. The destruction of the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family really did seem to be good news for the Xiao Clan. After all, only the Xiao Clan would remain in Wutan City from now on, reigning supreme alone. Wasn't that a good thing?
