Xiao Xuan fought the Ming Clan elder thoroughly and decisively without a hint of hesitation to unleash everything he had. Which was not only reckless but could've resulted in his death if the slightest mistake had been made!

If he couldn't overwhelm the Ming Clan elder by the time he made more follow-up attacks, then his momentum would've been nullified and the latter's sword attacks would've subdued him. Not only must he make quick work of the Ming Clan elder, he also had to conserve his energy incase his enemy called for back-up.

But fortune was in his favor this time...but what about next time? Xiao Xuan couldn't bank his hopes that the next enemy could be easily overwhelmed. And he had to hurry. Time was of the essence. His family was being slaughtered and he must save them!

Xiao Xuan's fight with the Ming Clan elder lasted for 5 breaths as their performance were too fast for the human eye to see. Such a case could only be done by experts whose techniques and instincts were no stranger to battling and killing.

He straightened himself and took a deep breath. Eyes closed...then he snapped them open. Revealing bloodshot eyes filled with fury and bloodlust.

His gaze wandered around and looked at the Ming Clan warriors. Who were trembling in fear being casted by his overwhelming killing intent.

"He...he killed the elder!"

"Heavens! We must flee!"

"Retreat!"

It was without hesitation the the Ming Clan warriors decisively fled. Their figures blurred in motion as they ran in all directions. How they wished they had more legs to run faster. If anything, they wished they had never crossed such a powerful expert.

But how could Xiao Xuan let them off? He could smell the Xiao people's blood stained on their swords and armor. And it was apparently that they showed no mercy.

He must avenge them. He must kill them!

And it was without a sound that a dominant spear intent erupted and the Ming Clan warriors lurched to a halt. Their eyes widen in shock as the realized they couldn't move an inch. Then a powerful pressure forced them to the ground. Forcing them to groan as they grovel in pain. Feeling like a mountain was squashing them.

Xiao Xuan merely stood where he was and by the next second, his short spear danced in his fingers. Unleashing numerous spearqis that shot towards the Ming Clan warriors!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Numerous booms rumbled followed by agonizing screams. Death had never been close and before anyone realised it, the Ming Clan warriors were dying left and right. Blood splattered endlessly amidst the chaotic rubbles. And by the time the Ming Clan warriors were all dead, Xiao Xuan had already shot into the air, kicking up dust, and hovered in the air.

He looked around. His Xiao Clan ancestry home that spanned 10,000 km everywhere were crumbling into rubbles and debris. Losing the grandeur and splendour it enjoyed throughout the years.

He could hear screams, cries, laughter mixing in the chaos. Causing his heart to pound anxiously in bitterness and hatred. Killing intent seethed from him as by the next moment, he shot in a direction in a beam of light.

Moments went by and Xiao Xuan's killing intent flaired up wherever he went. He encountered more Ming Clan warriors, which he killed them in seconds. He saw his clan members fighting for their lives. All grievously injured and tired from battling. He went to help, which prompted them the chance to escape but he failed to save those he couldn't reach. Causing more grief to him.

Xiao Xuan also encountered more Ming Clan elders. He started battling one and the latter realized he was no match. The Ming Clan elder stalled for time until 2 more Ming Clan elder's joined the fray and unleashed an onslaught towards Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan was gripped with fear fighting those three. But was also consumed with furious hatred. It was without hesitation that he unleashed all his powers and trump cards to overwhelm his enemies. He ignored the severe damages and pain and spat blood all to cut a piece of their flesh.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

The Ming Clan elders had been so frustrated dealing with Xiao Xuan, and at the same time, fearful. They always said a cornered tiger was more fear-inspiring and here Xiao Xuan was, looking more ferocious and deadlier. Even as his spear broke, he managed to take one elder down. Followed by another direct kill!

With 2 elders down, the last elder wanted to flee but Xiao Xuan was no longer merciful. And it was without bothering for the consequences that he lunged a spearhand on his enemy and destroyed the latter's body.

Xiao Xuan had paid a bitter price to kill them. He could feel the sword cuts on his body corroding his spirit. His bones were crying that they were about to break. And his organs were somewhat ruptured. Making him spit blood again and again.

It would take a long time to heal from this but he simply had no time.

Taking a deep breath, he drove his cultivation base and shot into the air. He could feel he was getting much closer to where his objective was. And in moments after, what he saw ahead caused his blood to boil in endless hatred!

There up ahead, two figures were fighting back and forth in the air. Flying like the gods they are, unleashing attacks no mortal could withstand. Sending devastating shockwaves everywhere. No weakling dared to get close.

One figure was draped in black robes. Appearing somewhat young and valiantly handsome. Powerful sword energy seethed from his body while his figure was blurring between illusory and corporeal. Sometimes appearing as a person while sometimes appearing as a black sword!

The other was an elderly wearing clan robes of the Xiao Clan. His hair and beard disheveled and was heaving to catch his breath. Clearly injured. Eyes reddening in madness, the blue light in the shape of the sun behind him dazzled brightly and radiating pressure to crush his enemy before him. Sadly, his opponent seemed unfazed and merely waved his finger. Shooting destructive swordlight towards him. Causing the latter to dodge tirelessly.

"What's wrong, old man. Can't keep up?" the black robed man taunted the elder. Which caused the latter to attack madly with the awe-inspiring spear floating beside him. Sending numerous spearlights to shoot towards the black robed man.

Each of these spearlights contained the power to kill the elder ten times and any other expert would feel the need to fall back and summon a great layer of defenses. But the black robed man merely snorted in disdain. Causing sword energy to erupt in waves to collide with the spearlights, shattering them.

The elder spat blood and retreated. He then performed a spear spell with his cultivation base driven to the limits. The spear floating beside him let out a heaven-defying roar filled with the aura of domination!

At the next moment, an azure dragon suddenly replaced the presence of the awe-inspiring spear. Roaring to the skies, it cast a deadly glare towards the black robed man. Making the latter sneer.

"So, you finally unleashed your trump card, Heaven Blue Daoist." the black robed man said. "I admit, the fortune you've gained from acquiring a legendary spear made from the bone of the legendary azure dragon is certainly impressive battle prowess to be reckoned with.

"But sadly, the azure dragon, even in spirit form, is not enough to challenge me. If you were in the Divine Level Realm like me, then I wouldn't have come to destroy your Xiao Clan! Unfortunately, you are merely in the peak of Nascent Soul Realm. One step away so close yet distant as the stars between.

"So, obediently die, Heaven blue Daoist and I will spare what's left of your Xiao Clan! The Ming Clan will keep them alive but will enslave them as servants! Choose otherwise and I will kill every single Xiao! No matter where they go, I will kill them, even Divine Jade Daoist won't help!"

At this point, the sword energy erupted and the black robed man's presence caused the world to rumble. Forcing the space to thicken and suffocate all living things to death!
