"Haha, Brother Sun Shuo, I didn't expect your Sun Clan family to be defeated so quickly. This truly surprises me. Could it be that your Sun Clan's strength is only this much? But as far as I know, this person is also a Nine-Star Half-Emperor, so how could he be so weak? Could it be that your Sun Clan forcibly boosted his strength with pills?"
Bai Ying slightly, pointed at Sun Huo in the giant pit, and said with a cold smile.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shuo's face, which had been ashen, instantly turned incredibly grim. His hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, clenched into fists, and his entire body trembled violently with barely suppressed rage.
At that moment, Bai Ying laughed again, his words seemingly offering advice:
"Brother Sun Shuo, I know your Sun Clan is the weakest of the Four Great Clans, but using such methods is far too despicable. This approach will only bring harm to your Sun Clan's future. Brother Sun, you should heed my advice and give up those crooked and evil methods as soon as possible."
Bai Ying laughed heartily, a cold smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with mockery.
Sun Shuo, who was opposite Bai Ying, felt his anger surge to the top of his head upon hearing Bai Ying's words. The Dou Qi that had been suppressed within him surged uncontrollably at this moment.
"Snort!"
Suddenly, Sun Shuo let out a cold snort that sounded like a low growl. At the same time, his hand under his sleeve finally swung out fiercely. His Dou Qi surged, and the powerful Dou Qi burst out from his palm like a wave, sweeping across the sky.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ying's expression changed slightly. Although he was not afraid of Sun Shuo, he did not want to clash with him at this time. Otherwise, if the other two major families found out, wouldn't they interfere? If his Bai Clan really fought with the Sun Clan, and the other two families sat on the sidelines, that would not be a good thing.
After all, the Zhuo and Huo families were already much more powerful than them. If the Sun and Bai families started a fight, wouldn't they be even more inferior to those two families in the future?
With this thought in mind, Bai Ying narrowed his eyes, and the Dou Qi qi within his body quietly began to circulate, preparing to face Sun Shuo opposite him.
However, what followed immediately...
"Bang!"
The Dou Qi aura surged forth, transforming into a long spear that ultimately descended from the sky and pierced the chest of the already unconscious Sun Huo in the giant pit below.
The terrifying force slammed Sun Huo's body deep into the earth. The Dou Qi qi spear, which was over ten feet long, was also driven more than halfway into the ground. Looking down from the surface, Sun Huo's body was no longer visible; only a large pool of blood splattered out under the force, staining the surrounding land red.
This attack instantly ended Sun Huo, who was already on the verge of death.
This scene surprised Bai Ying slightly. He hadn't expected Sun Shuo to actually attack his own people. This was going to be interesting to watch.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. Bai Ying first squinted at Sun Shuo, then turned his gaze to the surroundings of the courtyard.
Sure enough, when Bai Ying glanced at the Sun Clan guards standing in the courtyard, their expressions changed. They were all astonished, never expecting their patriarch to attack one of his own clansmen. And judging from his furious expression, even if Sun Huo had been able to refute him earlier, he would likely have no chance of survival after such a fierce attack.
"Hmph! My Sun Clan doesn't support useless people! We don't need strength built on pills! And Sun Clan absolutely will not allow such people to exist!"
Seemingly noticing the change in the guards' expressions, Sun Shuo's face turned cold, and he spoke in a very low voice.
After these words, the expressions on the guards' faces eased somewhat; of course, what they were thinking remained unknown.
Seeing this, Bai Ying raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Sun Shuo to say such a thing. All his anger was directed at Sun Huo, who was already dead. This could be considered as saving face for the Sun Clan. Otherwise, if Bai Ying were to spread this matter in the future, the Sun Clan would not even have the power to refute it.
"Hmph! Sun Yan, Sun Liang, make your move! Capture Xiao Yan! No matter what, he killed members of my Bai Clan, and today, we absolutely cannot let him leave here!"
Immediately afterwards, Sun Shuo stomped his foot hard on the ground, and instantly stepped into the void. As his terrifying aura erupted, a fierce shout also came from his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, among the crowd standing around Xiao Yan, several Nine-Star Half-Emperor experts from the Sun Clan, upon hearing their patriarch's command, all had a slight change in expression.
You must understand, they had just watched Xiao Yan kill a Nine-Star Half-Emperor with a single punch. Now that Sun Shuo was ordering them to take action again, the Nine-Star Half-Emperor of the Sun Clan were more or less uneasy.
After all, they didn't want to end up like Sun Huo!
"Haha, Clan Chief Sun, it seems the Sun Clan is truly lacking in talent. So many Nine-Star Half-Emperor, yet you don't even dare to deal with a Six-Star Half-Emperor."
At this moment, Bai Ying deliberately spoke with a sarcastic laugh, and at the same time, he looked at Bai Ye again. Noticing Bai Ying's gaze, Bai Ye's expression changed again, and a bad premonition quickly welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmph! If your Bai Clan is so capable, why don't you let Bai Ye go first!"
"Haha, that's exactly what I meant. After all, the strength of the Bai Clan members is all earned through solid cultivation, unlike some..."
At the end of his sentence, Bai Ying paused intentionally for a moment before raising his eyes and smiling at Bai Ye:
" Bai Ye, as a member of my Bai Clan, I, the patriarch, value you highly. You must not disappoint me!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye was slightly startled. Although he wanted to say something, he ultimately couldn't refute it. After all, the person in front of him was the patriarch of the Bai Clan, and no one in the entire Bai Clan could refute his words.
"Haha, go ahead without worry. I know Xiao Yan is powerful, so no matter what, as long as you dare to fight him, win or lose, at least you won't disgrace the Bai Clan."
As the laughter subsided, Bai Ying glanced at Sun Shuo, his eyes filled with even more mockery, which fueled the latter's rage.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye nodded helplessly. Although the outcome remained unchanged, at least Bai Ying had given him a reason to catch his breath, which made Bai Ye feel slightly relieved.
Although he wasn't sure if he could defeat Xiao Yan, Bai Ye was certain that if he was determined, it wouldn't be easy for Xiao Yan to get rid of him. After all, having learned his lesson from Sun Huo, Bai Ye would only be more cautious when facing Xiao Yan.
Nodding heavily, Bai Ye took another deep breath, then stomped his foot hard on the ground. Instantly, amidst the exploding rocks, Bai Ye's figure shot into the sky like a cannonball. His gaze shifted, passing over the throng of people in the sky, and landed on Xiao Yan had transformed into a giant Vajra god.
Sensing the gaze directed at him, Xiao Yan seemed to sense something as well. He suddenly turned around, startling the surrounding crowd, and his pair of domineering, golden eyes instantly fell on Bai Ye.
"You were the one who left the Four Pavilions earlier, weren't you?"
Ignoring the people around him, Xiao Yan fixed his sharp gaze on Bai Ye and said in a chilling tone.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye remained noncommittal. At the same time, with a thought, he immediately circulated his Dou Qi throughout his body. Then, with a "poof," a pale white Dou Qi rose from Bai Ye's body like a ball of flame.
