Chapter 1290: Xiao Family’s Ancestor
Xiao Zhangyu did not answer Xiao Teng. He sneered while staring fixedly at Huang Xiaolong’s group, and finally fell for Feng Er’s alluring face.
Even he couldn’t help but appreciate Feng Er’s beauty.
But he knew that this woman was extremely loyal and faithful to the Ghost Manor Lord, and she was absolutely not someone he could tame. He felt a pity in his heart, as the only option for her was to die there.
A murderous light glinted in the depths of Xiao Zhangyu’s eyes.
In truth, the moment he had seen Huang Xiaolong after arriving at the Xiao Teng’s Manor, he had used a secret method to summon all of the Xiao Family’s Elders as well as the Grand Elders that was in Xiao City. He only needed to wait for a few minutes for them to arrive.
At that moment, it was impossible for Huang Xiaolong to escape Xiao City!
While Xiao Zhangyu was thinking of all these things, Huang Xiaolong suddenly attacked with a punch. But his target was the disciple standing behind Xiao Teng!
Xiao Teng’s disciple exploded to his death even before he realized that he was being attacked. A mist of blood splattered everywhere.
“You—!” Xiao Teng was red from fury. But, before he could say another word, a black claw appeared in his direct line of sight. At the other end of this black claw was the void devil beast Xu Baisheng’s sinister smiling eyes.
In a split second, Xiao Teng was knocked into the air as the black claw struck him. His body jerked and twitched as he crashed to the ground, feeling a pain that reached his soul.
Poison!
‘An extremely terrifying poison!’ This was his last thought.
The experts all around saw Xiao Teng twitched and convulsed on the ground with wisps of black smoke curling out from his body. On top of that, his flesh was rotting and deflating rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Teng was turned into nothing more than a dry corpse that was emitting a stench.
Everyone in the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air, as they looked at the void devil beast Xu Baisheng in horror. Even Xiao Zhangyu, and Chang Fang felt numbing coldness in their limbs, after seeing the effects of the void devil beast Xu Baisheng’s poison.
Even though Xiao Teng was just a First Order Ancestor God Realm, nonetheless he was still an Ancestor God Realm to have been killed by a mere claw strike!
More accurately, died from a poisoned claw strike!
One could hardly imagine how terrifying void devil beast Xu Baisheng’s corrosive devil poison was.
As Xiao Zhangyu and Chang Fang came to their senses, their first thought was—run! But before they could run, it was already too late. The space around them froze and they were helplessly locked inside of this space.
A suction force from Gui Yi and Gui Er’s palms pulled Xiao Zhangyu and Chang Fang towards them. Each holding one young lord like they were pinching a pup by its neck.
Huang Xiaolong’s attention was not at all on them; instead, he went to Xiao Teng’s corpse, and collected his spatial ring. He opened the spatial ring’s restrictions and looked inside; there were various precious items including mountain high herb elixirs, spirit stones, spirit fruits, divine pellets, and three palm-sized resplendent stones.
Chaos five-colored heaven refining stones!
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up seeing these three chaos five-colored heaven refining stones. As he had guessed, Xiao Teng carried them with him at all times. Now, the final material he needed to repair the Pill Blending Tower was complete.
Inwardly, Huang Xiaolong sighed in relief.
Just then, sounds of whistling winds came from all four corners of Xiao City. Xiao Family’s Elders and Grand Elders had arrived to the scene.
However, no trace of panic could be seen on Huang Xiaolong’s face as he put Xiao Teng’s spatial ring into his own.
“Bring them both, we’re leaving!” Huang Xiaolong leaped onto the little cow’s back and sped off in a streak of light. Void devil beast Xu Baisheng, Feng Er, and others followed.
Initially, Huang Xiaolong had reservations about killing Xiao Teng, but now, with Xiao Zhangyu and Chang Fang as his hostages, he would be able to leave. He also wanted to see if the Xiao Family would give up on Xiao Zhangyu and Chang Fang just to kill him.
“You want to leave so easily after killing someone? Stay back!” A voice reverberated in the air with a soul jarring power. It was then followed by a sharp and fierce sword qi that flew flew across the air, straight at Huang Xiaolong’s back.
This Elder had been closest to the Meteoric Soar Manor. Moreover, he was a peak late-Third Order Ancestor God Realm master, just half a step from advancing to Fourth Order Ancestor God Realm!
As the sword qi was inches from splitting Huang Xiaolong into two halves, Feng Er’s slender hand reached out and held the sword qi in her hand. With that, she casually flicked her wrist and threw it back at the Elder with a much faster speed and greater power. A soft humming filled the air and was soon drowned by a piercing scream from the Xiao Family’s Elder.
At this point, no one could tell if he was still alive or dead, but Huang Xiaolong’s group did not stop for a second.
A while later, more Xiao Family’s Elders arrived and tried to block Huang Xiaolong from leaving, but all of them ended up like the first Elder who had tried to stop them. One after another piercing screams filled the air as Feng Er deflected each of the Elder’s attacks back at them, with a casual flick of her slender wrist.
As Huang Xiaolong’s group got further away, a thunderous bellow of fury shook Xiao City. In the next second, a giant palm locked down on them as if the sky had darkened above them.
The power of this palm was many times stronger than any other attacks from the Xiao Family’s Elders.
It was a Xiao Family’s Grand Elder! A mid-level Ancestor God Realm master! Not a mere Fourth Order, but likely to be a Sixth Order, even late-Sixth Order Ancestor God Realm!”
But Feng Er merely tapped the air with her finger, and a finger force shot out like a tsunami, exploding into numerous bright and dazzling stars that pierced a hole through the giant palm that was attacking them. The hole grew bigger as explosions continued, and light shone through it.
However, the power of Feng Er’s finger force continued to blast a hole in the void, and soon a screaming figure plummeted down. Clearly, this was the Xiao Family’s Grand Elder who had attacked them just now.
Feng Er was calm and relaxed the whole time. Every moment of hers was elegant, even when she was attacking. She was truly a magnificent sight to behold.
Initially, Huang Xiaolong was a little skeptical when Master Gui Yue had told him that Feng Er was almost as strong as Xiao Family’s Ancestor. Now, it was proven to be true.
Huang Xiaolong’s group continued flying fast and the city gates was already in sight, when the atmosphere changed suddenly. The clouds roiled, and strong wind blew as a glaring golden light shone down on the entire Xiao City. A boundless overwhelming pressure appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on them.
All the people in Xiao City were terrified under this overwhelming pressure, as if it was the end of the world. Even the high-level Ancestor God Realm masters were no exception to this.
‘This is…?!’ Huang Xiaolong’s heart missed a beat as he could feel the space around him being solidified. He couldn’t even wriggle a finger.
“It’s the Xiao Family’s Ancestor!” Feng Er’s calm expression was finally replaced by solemness.
The commotion in Xiao City had forced the Xiao Family Ancestor’s to show up.
Given Feng Er’s current strength, she was wary of only a handful of people, and Xiao Family’s Ancestor was one of them. Feng Er was still confident to face the Xiao Family’s Patriarch, but the Xiao Family’s Ancestor…?!
Feng Er made her decision in a split second and ordered, “Gui Yi, you need to take the Manor Lord to his safety, until then, I will delay Xiao Family’s Ancestor as long as possible!” A powerful black light rippled from her body.
Gui Yi and others acknowledged her order, but Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “No, we all leave together!” Then he shouted towards the void, “Xiao Family’s Ancestor, Xiao Zhangyu and Chang Fang both are in my hands, are you willing to bury them with me?”
But the golden light continued to fall. It was filled with killing intent as it pierced towards Huang Xiaolong.
The Xiao Family’s Ancestor was willing to forfeit Xiao Zhangyu and Chang Fang’s lives just to kill Huang Xiaolong?
