Chapter 2047: Chapter 2047: The 10 Family Heads
A middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious garments.
Although he appeared middle-aged, he had a handsome face, exuding grace and poise.
His entire aura was ethereal and otherworldly.
From this alone, one could tell the middle-aged man was no ordinary person.
Further observing his robust and surging presence, standing high in the sky, it seemed as if he could dominate the heavens and earth; for miles around, the winds did not blow, and the clouds did not drift, as if everything had come to a standstill.
The middle-aged man was undoubtedly extremely powerful.
His level of Cultivation was likely far beyond those seasoned Legendary Experts.
With such Cultivation and strength, even in a middle-aged form.
The identity of this middle-aged man was already becoming apparent.
He must be from the Hidden Forces.
At this moment, the middle-aged man’s face was like Cold Frost, an oppressive cold aura emanated endlessly from him, seemingly capable of completely freezing and solidifying the vast sky.
The middle-aged man even unconsciously trembled slightly, indicating a boundless fury, his entire being filled with anger.
The middle-aged man coldly stared at Xiao Yi, uttering the word ’monster’ through gritted teeth.
Xiao Yi’s eyes were indifferent, similarly staring at the middle-aged man.
"I’ve killed too many people to know who you’re referring to."
Xiao Yi shook his head slightly.
"You...bastard." The middle-aged man’s fury erupted entirely at that moment.
"The Eight Palaces actually produced such a cruel and ruthless monster like you."
"The Eight Palaces won’t handle this, so I will."
"Leaving such a monster like you alive for another day means another potential massacre at any time."
"My son is dead; you, monster, shall be buried with him."
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man immediately struck.
From beneath his luxurious garments, a hand imbued with the imposing force of a white Bai Ze descended violently, aimed directly at Xiao Yi.
"Ice Storm Devouring Soul." Without hesitation, Xiao Yi unleashed an all-out Ice Storm Devouring Soul.
His figure also quickly withdrew, retreating for miles.
The middle-aged man before him was an existence he couldn’t possibly contend with at present.
This person, relying solely on his aura, was far beyond that of Elder Jingz Yue’s level.
He couldn’t defeat him, nor could he possibly be a match for him.
But he wasn’t afraid.
This middle-aged man was strong, but not to the extent that he could give Xiao Yi an extreme sense of crisis.
In other words, although this man’s Cultivation was potent, it hadn’t reached the ranks of a Legend or the pinnacle of a Legendary Expert.
If he wanted to leave, this middle-aged man couldn’t keep him.
Sure enough, Xiao Yi’s Ice Storm Devouring Soul struck, forcibly dispersing the man’s full-strength palm by several degrees, momentarily halting his approach.
"What a skillful Black Robe Xiao Xun, indeed has some ability." The middle-aged man glanced at his own hand, covered with frost and partly ice-sealed, surprise flickering across his face.
However, beneath that surprise lay an even more astounding intent to kill.
Looking at Xiao Yi’s figure, already retreating miles away, the middle-aged man coldly laughed, "Trying to run? What a joke."
Woosh...
The middle-aged man’s figure suddenly disappeared into thin air, and when he reappeared, he was already miles away.
The rapidly flying Xiao Yi felt the air beside him suddenly collapse, and the middle-aged man’s figure emerged instantly from the space around him.
"Such a powerful Space Dao." Xiao Yi’s heart shook with shock.
"Ice Storm Devouring Soul." Xiao Yi unleashed another Ice Storm Devouring Soul.
An overwhelming Soul Power Storm transformed into an endless blizzard, sweeping out.
"Hmph." The middle-aged man snorted coldly, both hands moving simultaneously.
With one palm, the blizzard froze and the Ice Storm halted.
With the second palm, the blizzard dissipated, and the Ice Storm crumbled into dust.
Stepping forward abruptly, he crossed space and was already right in front of Xiao Yi.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s pupils contracted.
This level of expert was indeed terrifyingly strong, and their means were astonishing, far exceeding his expectations.
Boom...
The middle-aged man’s palm struck heavily on Xiao Yi’s chest.
A booming sound erupted, like Heavenly Thunder, shaking the entire high sky.
Xiao Yi’s figure was directly blasted back heavily.
"Puh." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.
The middle-aged man, with just one palm, already made his internal organs seem to shift, his Qi-Blood rolling tumultuously.
This one palm directly caused severe injuries.
"Ice Storm Devouring Soul." Enduring the injuries, Xiao Yi unleashed another Ice Storm Devouring Soul.
The endless blizzard swallowed and submerged the middle-aged man instantly.
Utilizing the force to retreat further, Xiao Yi fled again.
This middle-aged man was absolutely a foe he couldn’t face.
But if he were to flee, even at the cost of severe injuries, he could likely manage.
This kind of pursuit, this kind of severely injured escape, Xiao Yi had experienced countless times, just as routine.
Of course, those who could force him into such situations were always some shameless Old Monsters.
This middle-aged man, who appeared to be middle-aged, in fact, feared to be of an age calculated in tens of thousands of years.
...
An hour later.
In the high sky, the middle-aged man’s face, which was already as cold as frost, was now extremely grim.
For a whole hour, the distance he spanned through space was more than tens of millions of miles.
But that hateful black-robed figure in the distance, whom he wished to kill quickly, that ’monster’, was still alive and well.
"Monster Xiao Xun, you can’t escape."
The middle-aged man roared in fury and disappeared into the air again, crossing the space in a direct pursuit.
In the distance.
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, with dark red blood continuously flowing from under his mask.
His black robe was long soaked in blood.
After an hour of fleeing, his injuries worsened; if he didn’t escape now, it would be perilous.
However, Xiao Yi wasn’t too worried, as he still had the skill to escape for his life.
Only...
Whoosh... In the distance, a middle-aged figure suddenly appeared, blocking his escape route.
This middle-aged man was not the same person as the previous one.
"Monster Xiao Xun, hmph." The middle-aged man didn’t say much, only uttered coldly and directly struck with a palm.
Caught off guard, Xiao Yi was struck down heavily from the sky.
Boom...
The ground was smashed into a huge pit, stirring up a sky full of dust.
Whoosh... In the high sky, the previous middle-aged man flashed over.
The two saluted each other.
"Du Family Master."
"Yuwen Family Master."
The two clearly recognized each other.
The middle-aged man who first pursued Xiao Yi was precisely the current head of the Northern Du Family.
And the one who just appeared was the current head of the Yuwen Family.
"Cough, cough." Below, as the smoke and dust cleared, Xiao Yi’s extremely embarrassed figure was revealed.
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes were as cold as they could be, and his face under the mask was also extremely grim.
Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...
Around, one by one, middle-aged men or elders surrounded the area at some point.
Every one of them exuded an overwhelming aura, on par with the first middle-aged man.
"Feng Family Head."
"Yan Family Master."
"Kong Family Master."
"Old Master Xu."
"..."
The people around greeted each other with a salute.
Then, all of them with cold eyes looked down at the embarrassed black-robed figure.
"Hmph, I knew early on that this monster Xiao Xun was not very powerful, but his escape skills surpassed others." Old Master Xu snorted coldly.
"Today, with us ten family heads joining forces, he still thinks he can escape? Truly a joke."
Indeed, the towering figures standing in mid-air now were the ten family heads.
Among them, the expressions of the Feng and Yan Families’ heads were even more imposing than the others.
"Imprisoned my two sons, killed my eldest, Ziqiu." The Feng Family Head stated coldly with gritted teeth, "Monster Xiao Xun, this Family Head will make you pay in blood today."
"Indeed." The Yuwen Family Master stared at Xiao Yi coldly, "Wherever this monster goes, it’s blood and slaughter, never resting."
"Today, this calamity must be eradicated."
"Hmph." Old Master Xu snorted coldly. "How can the successor of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall withstand our anger with the ten families."
"This monster Xiao Xun, everyone must kill him."
Below.
Xiao Yi also gritted his teeth; trying to escape from these ten family heads was almost impossible.
But, his gritting of teeth lasted merely a few seconds.
Then, his eyes relaxed, and he chuckled lightly.
In his perception, a familiar aura quietly emerged.
A figure appeared beside him out of thin air.
"Gu." The figure tilted his head back and took a sip of strong wine.
"Masters, care for a sip?"
The Changtian Wine Demon put down the wine jug, chuckling softly.
...
