ALL NOVEL Chapter 12 – Coming for me?
"From the tone of your voice... are you planning to wipe out our Xiao Family?"
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly at these words, showing no fear as he asked nonchalantly.
If it were before today, the Xiao Family really wouldn't have been able to resist the oppression from the two major families.
But now, the Xiao Family was no longer the same!
These two families were not qualified to trample on the Xiao Family anymore!
"Heh, we gave your Xiao Family a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it..."
Wang Long sneered coldly, not denying his intentions.
"Why waste words with him? The longer we delay, the more things can change!"
Seeing Wang Long still talking nonsense with Xiao Zhan, Lin Ming impatiently shouted.
"Hurry up and hand over Wang Xuan and Lin Hai, cripple your own cultivation, kneel down and apologize, and transfer the Market to us..."
"Otherwise, from today onwards, there will be no more Xiao Family in Floating Cloud City!"
As his voice echoed in the courtyard, Lin Ming took a step forward, and his cultivation aura erupted.
Behind him, the elders and stewards of the Lin Family also unleashed their auras, glaring at the Xiao Family members like wolves.
It seemed that as long as Lin Ming gave the order, the Xiao Family would become a living hell.
"Hahaha, no more Xiao Family in Floating Cloud City?"
"Let's see... who will wipe out whom!"
Hearing Lin Ming's arrogant words, Xiao Zhan's anger erupted completely.
With a lion's roar, a Celestial Grotto appeared behind Xiao Zhan.
The terrifying aura of the Celestial Grotto Realm swept out like a storm.
Xiao Zhan, surrounded by golden flames, slowly floated up from the ground like a god-king.
Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Delong also unleashed their cultivation with cold smiles.
They instantly crushed Lin Ming and his group's aura.
"This... this is the Celestial Grotto Realm?!!"
Seeing Xiao Zhan standing in mid-air with a Celestial Grotto behind him, Wang Long and Lin Ming looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces twisted in shock.
"Impossible!!"
"Weren't you injured by an elder of the Supreme Sword Sect? How did you break through to the Celestial Grotto Realm before us?!"
According to their information, Xiao Zhan had indeed suffered a setback at the Supreme Sword Sect, being slapped away by an elder.
If not for the Supreme Sword Sect's concern for their reputation, Xiao Zhan might not have survived.
But now...
He didn't look injured at all, and his cultivation had even broken through unexpectedly?!
"Hmph, who do you think you are? Do I, Xiao Zhan, need to inform you of my breakthroughs?!"
Seeing his former equals now terrified by his aura, Xiao Zhan snorted coldly and gave the order.
"Kill them!"
"Anyone who dares to offend my Xiao Family will be left behind!"
As his words fell, Xiao Zhan's cultivation erupted wildly, and he raised his hand to suppress the two.
"Brother Xiao, this is all a misunderstanding, it was Lin Ming who deceived me, our Wang Family has no ill intentions!!"
Seeing the raging lion's shadow and feeling the instinctive tremor of his body in the face of a life-and-death crisis, Wang Long frantically begged for mercy as his cultivation erupted.
With each breakthrough in cultivation, the difference in strength was like night and day.
It was no exaggeration to say that a strong practitioner at the first level of the Celestial Grotto Realm could easily crush several practitioners at the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm.
And Xiao Zhan had not only broken through to the Celestial Grotto Realm, but his aura was as solid as a mountain, not like someone who had just broken through.
He might have already reached the second level of the Celestial Grotto Realm, a strength that could easily crush them!
Begging for mercy might be their only chance to survive!
"Wang Long, you bastard, it was you who deceived me!!"
Hearing Wang Long's accusation, Lin Ming angrily retorted in desperation.
Although their words diverged, their actions were almost identical.
As their cultivation erupted, they punched towards Xiao Zhan and simultaneously retreated towards the Xiao Family's exit.
If they could escape, they might still have a chance to live!
"Human nature... truly ugly!"
Seeing Wang Long and Lin Ming slinging mud at each other to save their lives, Xiao Zhan coldly laughed and unleashed his cultivation even more fiercely.
The raging lion's shadow he summoned instantly shattered their fist shadows.
The flaming lion's paw struck them both.
Wang Long and Lin Ming spat blood and were blasted to the ground like cannonballs.
In just one exchange, his former equals were now easily crushed and left spitting blood.
This was the absolute suppression brought by a breakthrough in realm!
Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Delong also charged at the other elders and stewards with sinister smiles.
With their superior cultivation, even if they were outnumbered, they still crushed their opponents.
It wouldn't be long before all the strong practitioners of the Wang and Lin families would be sent to hell to repent.
"Is the battle almost over?"
As Xiao Chen walked into the Xiao Family's front courtyard, he saw the mess and two figures lying not far ahead.
They were constantly spitting blood, even with fragments of their internal organs.
This scene made him raise an eyebrow.
He hadn't expected that upgrading his father's and the family elders' talents would indirectly save them from a crisis of annihilation.
Was this the so-called "one person attains the Dao, and even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"?
It felt incredibly satisfying!
"Xiao... Xiao Family brat?!"
As Xiao Chen walked into the front courtyard, Wang Long, lying on the ground coughing blood, saw him and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
His heavily injured body suddenly sprang up and lunged at Xiao Chen.
"Chen, be careful!!"
Seeing Wang Long lunging at Xiao Chen, likely intending to take him hostage, Xiao Zhan shouted in alarm.
His figure turned into a blur as he flew towards the two.
"Coming for me?"
Seeing Wang Long's crazed lunge, Xiao Chen's expression turned cold, and his cultivation erupted instinctively.
His figure flickered like a shadow, deftly dodging the attack.
Then, as Wang Long's hand grasped empty air and his expression turned to shock, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with cold light, and he punched Wang Long.
Heavenly Demon Shadowless Step!
Eight Desolate Force!
With the explosion of these two Divine Powers, Wang Long was sent flying, spitting blood once more.
If this guy hadn't been injured, Xiao Chen might have turned and fled.
But to provoke him while heavily injured was like an old woman trying to lick a tiger's butt... courting death!
"Spirit Aperture Realm, third level?!!"
Seeing Wang Long being sent flying by Xiao Chen's punch and sensing Xiao Chen's cultivation aura, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but pause, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
Xiao Chen had always concealed his cultivation aura. They only knew his injuries had healed and thought his cultivation was still at the third level of the Open Origin Realm.
But now, his cultivation had skyrocketed by an entire major realm.
At eighteen, he had reached the third level of the Spirit Aperture Realm. Even the core disciples nurtured by the Supreme Sword Sect couldn't achieve such cultivation at this age.
The Xiao Family... was about to produce a true dragon!
"Heh, I didn't expect the Xiao Family to have such a change. It seems I came at the right time!"
As Xiao Zhan was lost in thought, an old, cold voice echoed.
While the battle raged below, a figure appeared above the Xiao Family, with a massive Celestial Grotto rising behind him.
The pressure far surpassed Xiao Zhan's.
It descended like a mountain, causing Xiao Zhan and the others below to change their expressions dramatically.
