Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the somewhat handsome young man among the troublemakers immediately became enraged.
"Xiao Yan, you don't recognize this young master anymore!"
For this day, he had lived a life that was barely human for the past few years.
He never expected Xiao Yan to have forgotten him long ago.
"Who's that?" Looking at the young man who seemed like he wanted to tear him apart, Xiao Yan still had no impression of him. He didn't remember having any enmity with such a person.
Raising a hand to his forehead, Xiao Yu didn't expect the exceptionally talented Xiao Yan to forget such a thing.
"Jialie Ao of the Jialie family."
Xiao Yu spoke a name that Xiao Yan had almost forgotten.
"Oh, so it's him," Xiao Yan looked at the young man again; he indeed matched some vague memories from the past.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Ning snorted, "Jialie Ao, do you still think this is a few years ago? For the Xiao family to destroy the current Jialie family is easier than crushing a stink bug."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ning was somewhat indignant. The Xiao family was already so powerful, so why didn't the Patriarch completely eliminate the two families that were once as famous as the Xiao family?
Xiao Yan shook his head, disagreeing with Xiao Ning's statement: "Does being powerful necessarily mean you have to annex the weak?"
"Xiao Ning, after you broke through to a Dou Practitioner, do those in the Dou Qi stage no longer have the right to live? If so, then perhaps very few people would survive on this vast Dou Qi Continent."
Xiao Ning was momentarily speechless. After breaking through to a Dou Practitioner, Dou Qi converted into Dou Qi, and his strength increased significantly compared to before, but he was not the opponent of hundreds or thousands of people at the Dou Qi stage...
Jialie Ao glanced at the young man beside him, and his confidence immediately surged.
"The Xiao family's rise was merely borrowing the influence of the Primer Clan. If they were to truly fall, it would only take a day or two."
Liu Xi? Xiao Yan glanced at the pale-faced young man beside Jialie Ao.
Although this person was not wearing alchemist robes, his soul power was stronger than average, and his internal Dou Qi attribute also matched.
Patting Xiao Ning's shoulder, Xiao Yan smiled at his dazed cousin and said, "Of course, for some who seek death, the Xiao family doesn't mind dealing with them along the way."
"Arrogant!" Liu Xi moved his gaze from Xun'er's pretty figure and looked at Xiao Yan with narrowed eyes.
The people of the Xiao family were truly blessed to be able to live with such a beautiful woman day in and day out.
However, today their good fortune was at an end.
Jialie Ao became instantly furious. If it weren't for the Xiao family, the Jialie family wouldn't have collapsed midway, and he could have continued to be a rich young master.
Today, it's time to settle both new and old scores!
"Do it," Xiao Yan said faintly.
Do what? Do what? Xiao Ning silently turned his head and looked around. Who was Xiao Yan ordering?
Just as Xiao Ning was wondering, space trembled slightly, and Hai Bodong's figure suddenly appeared. His large hand, like a dark cloud covering the sun, clawed towards Liu Xi's head.
Liu Xi's terrified eyes widened like a pair of commanders, staring in horror at the ghostly hand.
In an instant, Hai Bodong's palm released incredibly terrifying ice Dou Qi.
With a crack, Liu Xi transformed into an exquisitely detailed ice sculpture under the gaze of countless eyes.
Just as everyone was horrified, with a bang, the ice sculpture suddenly exploded, turning into countless ice shards that scattered onto the ground.
A living person died without even a trace of blood.
Jialie Ao gasped. Liu Xi, who had caused considerable harm to the Jialie family's women in the past two days and had been so arrogant, had died just like that.
With a turn of his hand, Hai Bodong grabbed Jialie Ao by the neck, letting him experience the last few breaths Liu Xi had before his death.
With a bang like a large firecracker exploding, the Jialie family members retreated backward in terror.
Hai Bodong snorted coldly, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers. With successive explosions, he easily dealt with these few people.
He returned to the Primer Auction House simply to give some instructions for future matters.
He had originally intended to rush back to the Xiao family immediately but unexpectedly saw Xiao Yan and the others on the way.
The people in the market just wanted to watch a spectacle, but as the spectacle grew, they all became scared and scattered.
Hai Bodong turned and stepped forward, unable to help but chuckle, "The Xiao family is in its prime in Wu Tan City. I didn't expect there would still be such blind individuals."
Seeing Hai Bodong, who had killed several people with a mere raise of his hand, approach, Xiao Ning unconsciously retreated a few steps. This kind of strength, even his grandfather didn't possess.
Xiao Yu felt a bit familiar with Hai Bodong. Upon closer inspection, she finally recognized him.
She hadn't expected his hair to have turned so much blacker after a few months; he was completely different from before.
Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then they need to open their eyes. This family's influence is not what it used to be."
"That's true," Hai Bodong also knew that without enough manpower, investigating matters was impossible.
The rumors in Wu Tan City were heard by the Jialie and Oba families, but they didn't believe them at all.
A Dou Huang under sixteen years old? They were decades old Dou Dis then.
Hai Bodong asked, "What should we do next?"
"Leaving them is also a disaster; eliminate them," Xiao Yan said lightly.
He had done this many times in the Cloud Mist Empire. Enemies had to be nipped in the bud.
After buying things with Xun'er, Xiao Yan went with Hai Bodong to the current Jialie and Oba families.
The two families could be considered fellow sufferers; they had moved together, which saved Xiao Yan some trouble.
He didn't intend to leave a single one of them alive.
"Who are you?" Seeing Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong appear out of thin air in the courtyard, the guards were all startled, then picked up their weapons and said warily.
Jialie Bi, Oba Pa, and Liu Xi's teacher, who were discussing important matters inside, came out of the house upon hearing the commotion.
This time, both families had exhausted their family's foundations, inviting a pair of alchemists, determined to defeat the Xiao family in one fell swoop, allowing for no mistakes whatsoever.
"Who are you people?" Jialie Bi questioned, finding the two quite unfamiliar, completely unlike anyone from Wu Tan City.
"Who we are is none of your concern. Today, you've reached the end of your lives," Hai Bodong adjusted his breathing, spreading his perception throughout the two families' compounds.
"Patriarch Jialie, the people of Wu Tan City have such big mouths," Liu Xi's teacher raised a finger and pointed at the medicinal cauldron emblem on his alchemist robes, saying disdainfully, "Do you recognize this?"
"With my identity as a four-grade alchemist, even Dou King experts would have to show me three points of respect," Liu Xi's teacher said rather smugly.
There were many alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire, but those who could reach the fourth-grade level, especially those in their forties and fifties like him, were few and far between.
