Chapter 1012: Massacre
His body was surrounded by thick, black demonic energy that churned and surged around him.
It was like a giant beast that had come to life.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the Xiao family members below.
His eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent.
The Xiao family was completely dumbfounded.
The Demon Lord, who had just been smashed into a pit and was coughing up blood, was in a sorry state.
How could it have become so terrifying in the blink of an eye?
They were all dumbfounded, their hands and feet turned ice-cold, and they didn't even have time to think about running away.
"Ant, die!"
The Demon Lord snorted coldly, and the moment he raised his hand, the viscous demonic energy around him exploded.
Like a tsunami, it swept over the entire Xiao family mansion.
Countless black wisps of energy, like ghosts, shot out from the demonic energy with lightning speed.
They rushed frantically towards the Xiao family members.
A sharp screech echoed between heaven and earth, sending chills down one's spine.
"Ahhhh!!!"
A piercing scream rang out instantly.
The first few Xiao family disciples who were entangled by the black energy were unable to even put up a fight.
The body then withered away at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The vital energy within their bodies was frantically drained by the black energy, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into skeletons scattered all over the ground.
This scene terrified the remaining members of the Xiao family.
They finally realized the Demon Lord's intentions.
He's going to wipe out the entire Xiao family!
"what!!!"
"Ancestors, please help!"
"I beg my ancestors to bless me!"
"Aaaaaah, I'm so scared!"
"That's unreasonable!"
Xiao Zhang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious beyond measure.
He used up half of the Xiao family's resources to hire this person.
Now they're turning around and slaughtering the Xiao family.
This is such a huge irony!
"You demon, stop!"
With a furious roar, Xiao Zhang held the ancestral Xiao family ancient sword, and his spiritual power surged.
Together with several powerful Xiao family elders beside him, they soared into the sky.
They charged fiercely towards the Demon Lord.
Several elders raised their hands and waved, each summoning their natal magic weapons, which shone brightly.
They condensed into a series of sharp attacks, bombarding the Demon Lord.
They tried to stop his killing spree.
But in the face of the Demon Lord who burned his very essence, their resistance was like throwing an egg against a rock.
It's ridiculously fragile.
The Demon Lord's eyes were filled with rage and disdain.
He snorted coldly and waved his hand casually.
The swirling demonic energy around him condensed into a gigantic demonic hand.
It was slapped towards Xiao Zhang and the others.
Wherever the demonic hand passed, the space trembled.
Before Xiao Zhang and the others could even get close, their attacks were thwarted by the power emanating from the demonic palm.
The magical artifact's light dimmed, and it shattered instantly.
"puff!!"
This palm strike landed hard on Xiao Zhang and several elders.
The men were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
His body crashed heavily onto the ruins of the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall, which had been partially repaired, collapsed again with a deafening roar.
Several elders immediately became weak and severely injured.
I didn't even have the strength to stand up.
The Xiao family is not the same as the Xiao family of the past.
The strongest member of the Xiao family right now is a Nascent Soul cultivator.
How could they possibly defeat a Demon Lord who burns his very essence?
This is why Xiao Zhang ignored the insults hurled at Xiao Xu by others.
They finally saw a glimmer of hope for the family.
Suddenly, all hope was shattered.
That sense of loss and disappointment was indeed a huge blow.
So when he learned that Xiao Xu couldn't improve no matter how he cultivated, he thought of using other people's humiliation to motivate Xiao Xu.
During this time, everyone from the Xiao family arrived.
However, the two elders of the Zhongli family had already slipped away.
They ran to Zhongli Qingwan's side.
The three of them were above the lake, looking towards the square.
Meanwhile, Zhongli Qingwan was also searching for her senior brother.
Where did you go?
She surveyed the area from above, her gaze finally settling on a large tree in the grove.
The entire forest was relatively calm, except for that one large tree that was shaking violently.
"?"
Zhongli Qingwan didn't quite understand.
But after thinking for a moment, she said to the two elders, "Please wait here again, I'll be right back!"
As she spoke, Zhongli Qingwan flew in that direction.
She is very fast.
Upon arriving at the woods, we landed and began to investigate.
Before we even got there, we could hear bursts of coquettish complaints.
That voice makes you feel weak all over.
Zhongli Qingwan headed in that direction.
The next second, her face turned bright red.
He quickly turned around and left.
Senior brother and sister, actually!
She really wanted to slap herself.
Why be so curious?
Moreover, thanks to his senior brother's cultivation level, he was 100% able to sense his presence.
This time it was embarrassing.
When Zhong Liqingwan arrived, her complexion was normal.
When I came back, my ears were red.
Her pretty face was flushed an exaggerated shade of red.
It added a touch of femininity.
"Young Miss, what's wrong?"
"what?"
Upon hearing the elder's question, Zhongli Qingwan shook her head: "No, I don't know, it's alright!"
"?"
The two elders were puzzled, but they didn't ask any further questions.
Keep watching over there.
Over there in the square.
The demon lord's eyes burned with even greater killing intent.
He knew that since the Undying Demon Emperor had spoken, he would definitely pay attention to this place again at any time.
We must kill all the members of the Xiao family within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, lest the Demon Emperor cause us trouble.
His figure flashed again, turning into a dark afterimage.
It appeared instantly in front of an elder of the Xiao family, its bat wings flapping violently.
The sharp wingtip pierced directly through the chest of an elder.
They ripped his heart out.
"No!"
Xiao Zhang's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled to get up.
However, he was struck by a casual wisp of demonic energy from the Demon Lord, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground.
The Demon Lord gave the Xiao family no chance to resist.
With his strength, wiping out the Xiao family would have been a piece of cake.
If I hadn't been seriously injured, I would have been even faster!
The figure moved quickly across the square.
Every move he makes carries the deadly intent of certain death.
Wherever the demonic energy passed, the Xiao family disciples fell to the ground.
They will either be drained of their life force and turn into withered bones.
Either their bodies are torn apart directly.
Blood stained the entire square, and shrill screams and desperate cries mingled together.
The scene was horrific.
They were frantically slaughtering every member of the Xiao family.
His eyes held only intense killing intent and a hint of hidden urgency.
He must end this massacre before the Undying Demon Emperor appears.
Otherwise, he himself will be the one to die today!
Xiao Zhang watched as his clansmen fell one by one.
My heart was filled with endless regret and despair.
He couldn't have imagined it.
My momentary scheming has brought utter destruction to the Xiao family!
"I am a sinner, I am a sinner of the Xiao family!"
At the same time, Xiao Xu, that idiot, also noticed something was wrong.
He lives far away.
He also locked himself inside the house.
They completely ignore what's happening outside.
But as the screams grew louder and the aura intensified.
He finally realized something was wrong.
When he stepped on his weapon and soared into the sky, he saw a scene of utter devastation.
The scene before his eyes left him completely blank.
The Xiao family is being slaughtered!
"what!!!"
Xiao Xu roared.
His eyes were bloodshot and filled with urgency.
Although he hated the Xiao family, and although he was constantly mocked and bullied by them.
But he is also a member of the Xiao family.
How could he bear to watch his people being slaughtered?
Xiao Xu wanted to rush over.
But he had only gone halfway when a gust of air blew him away.
He then realized that he was just a novice in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
In his haste, his eyes lit up.
Change is inevitable, but he will call on others.
His mentor will definitely step in.
Xiao Xu immediately looked up to the sky and roared, "Senior, help me!!!"
