Chapter 1013: Despair
Xiao laughed and shouted.
I was so angry I almost spat out water.
That demon lord showed no mercy; he simply carried out a frenzied slaughter.
Countless members of the family have died.
The elders also began to collapse.
One by one, they either turned into dust or had their hearts ripped out.
A crimson mist of blood enveloped the entire Xiao residence.
Severed limbs and broken fragments of magical artifacts covered the long bluestone steps.
The air was thick with the pungent stench of blood and the desperate wails of despair.
He stood frozen in place, as if the blood in his body had been frozen.
The spiritual energy of the Foundation Establishment stage surged wildly within his body.
Yet they couldn't muster even the slightest strength to resist.
The black shadow in front of him swirled and rolled, and the mere dissipation of its demonic power was like a mountain pressing down on his soul.
It made him experience excruciating pain even when he was breathing.
He watched helplessly as his clansmen were torn apart by the Demon Lord's claw.
The nascent soul was instantly incinerated into ashes the moment it fled.
Seeing the once arrogant clan elders either dead or crippled.
There were also those whose skulls were crushed by fingertips flowing with demonic energy.
Red and white substances splashed out.
It's like suffocating.
Despite his distress, he didn't organize any resistance.
Even if he took just half a step forward, that overwhelming demonic aura would crush him into dust.
"Senior, please help me!!!"
Xiao Xu started shouting again.
A roar burst from his throat, hoarse like a broken gong, filled with heart-wrenching despair.
The sound echoed over the Xiao residence, but was instantly swallowed up by even denser and more shrill screams.
He staggered and fell to his knees, feeling even more powerless.
"Senior, please help me..."
He looked up, his eyes bloodshot, tears mingling with the blood on his face as they slid down.
"I am willing to offer everything I have! My cultivation! My soul! All that I possess!"
"We beg you, senior, to save my Xiao family!!!"
He had always despised the infighting and sycophancy within the Xiao family, as well as the sarcastic remarks and mockery from those scoundrels.
But at this moment, those clansmen he usually despised were turning into dead souls under the demonic power.
He couldn't stand by and watch.
Even if it costs him his soul, he will grasp at this last straw.
The roars crashed against the sky again and again, but there was never any response.
A small grove of trees in the distance from the Xiao residence.
Jiang Yantian slowly walked out.
Xue Hai Fu Ling beside him had slightly disheveled hair.
Her exquisite face still bore the faint blush of her previous beauty.
But there was a hint of impatience hidden in those alluring eyes.
They weren't done yet.
It's annoying that I keep getting bothered.
One after another, they disrupted their enjoyment.
So we decided to stop and go back to finish it.
"Husband, shall we make a move?"
Xue Hai Fu Ling gently took Jiang Yan Tian's arm, her fingertips brushing against his sleeve.
Her voice was soft and captivating.
Jiang Yantian smiled and gently stroked her smooth cheek with his fingertips.
He gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
His tone, however, carried a hint of disdain: "Let them continue for a while, no rush."
He looked up toward the square, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
It was as if that blood-soaked hell was nothing more than an insignificant scene.
"I'll make my move after the Xiao family is all dead, when that damned Demon Lord attacks Xiao Xu."
Upon hearing this, Xue Haifu Ling covered her lips and chuckled, her eyes crinkling into crescents.
"Okay. Go back and continue what you didn't finish earlier."
"Naturally, the decisive battle will continue until tomorrow!"
Jiang Yantian lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead.
His voice carried a hint of lazy indulgence.
Within the Xiao family's territory, the slaughter continues.
The once bustling mansion was now reduced to a few scattered screams.
Fewer than twenty members of the Xiao family are still alive.
Xiao Xu's incessant roars still echoed.
This finally made the Demon Lord unable to suppress his irritation.
"Noisy garbage!"
The icy voice seemed to come from the deepest hell. The Demon Lord suddenly turned around, his black shadow swirling, and the black mist that filled the sky surged toward Xiao Xu like a hungry beast!
Wherever the black mist passed, the air was corroded and made a hissing sound.
Xiao Xu's pupils contracted sharply, and a chilling sense of death instantly enveloped him!
He was trembling with rage, and even knowing the disparity in strength, he was determined to fight to the death.
It's getting closer and closer.
But just as he was about to activate his spiritual power...
A terrifying pressure suddenly descended, pinning him to the spot as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in!
His limbs were stiff and he couldn't move them, and he couldn't make any sound from his throat.
They could only watch helplessly as the black mist, imbued with an aura of destruction, drew ever closer.
Every inch is getting bigger.
Zoom in, zoom in some more, and you almost magnified even the scoundrel!
We must completely envelop and annihilate him!
Despair overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
He could even clearly feel his soul trembling under this oppressive force.
At the critical moment!
A deafening roar pierced through the blood mist!
"You demon! Don't harm my son!"
Xiao Zhang has arrived. The Xiao Zhang who is not arrogant at all is the real Xiao Zhang, though he can also be considered arrogant.
But this is the real Xiao Zhang, not his usual arrogant self.
He is Xiao Zhang, but he is not arrogant!
Xiao Xu saw it.
The father, dragging his broken body, transformed into a streak of light.
That father who was always strict and demanding of him.
At that moment, they charged forward like madmen!
His peak Nascent Soul cultivation erupted without reservation.
Golden spiritual energy burst through the black mist like a blazing sun.
He held a family heirloom sword covered in cracks in his hand.
The blade was burning with the fierce flames of vital essence.
That's the ultimate power gained by burning one's very essence and lifespan!
Xiao Zhang's figure drew a golden arc in mid-air.
They rushed towards the Demon Lord without regard for anything else.
He used his own body to shield Xiao Xu from the deadly black mist!
The aura of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator clashed violently with the demonic power of the Demon Lord.
The entire Xiao residence trembled violently.
Buildings collapsed in large sections everywhere.
A gap was forcibly blasted open in the blood mist!
"?: Always taking from you..."
No request was made.
"You always laugh at me, but you never mention Geneva..."
Xiao Xu stood frozen in place, staring at his father's not-so-tall figure.
Yet at this moment, his back was as imposing as a mountain.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
He wanted to scream, to call his father back.
But with its throat constricted by the oppressive force, it could only utter weak moans.
My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the pain was so intense that I couldn't breathe.
The Demon Lord glanced at Xiao Zhang, who was rushing towards him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
With a casual wave of his hand, a pitch-black demonic claw tore through the air.
It reached out to grab Xiao Zhang.
Golden spiritual energy clashed with pitch-black demonic claws.
It produced a deafening roar.
The spiritual energy shattered instantly, like fragile glass.
Xiao Zhang spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
It crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
The black mist continued to surge towards Xiao Xu; the shadow of death had never been so close.
Xiao Zhang gritted his teeth, stood up once more, raised his hand and unleashed all his energy to desperately resist.
Xiao Xu scrambled towards Xiao Zhang.
"Father... Father..."
"Joke, survive! Run, run!"
Xiao Zhang held on desperately, but cracks were already appearing in the barrier in front of him.
"Father, go away, don't worry about me..."
Xiao Xu shouted, then looked up at the sky and cried out, "Senior, senior, help me, help me!!!"
His voice was filled with despair.
