Chapter 201 The Twin Stars of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuan Defeated!?
Many people recognized the powerful figures who had disappeared from their sects or clans, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Grandfather! I thought you had passed away!"
An elder of the ancient tribe stepped forward excitedly, wanting to get closer.
"careful--!!"
This action seemed to have triggered some mechanism, bringing to light all those powerful figures who had previously vanished.
At the same time, he raised his head.
Empty gazes were all cast upon the crowd!
Then--
A furious attack!
"Great-grandfather! It's me!"
"Black Soul Saint! What's wrong with you?!"
No one expected that their former elders and friends would turn against them!
In a moment of carelessness, many people were injured, and blood splattered everywhere!
"Retreat quickly!"
Gu Dao, one of the three immortals of the ancient clan, shouted in a loud voice:
"This group of people has been brought under control! They are not the same people they used to be!"
"Retreat? It's too late."
Gu Yuan frowned deeply as he looked at the group of senior figures who had gathered around him.
"Their condition is very similar to that of the slaves."
After careful observation, Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Medicine Clan, said in a deep voice:
"It won't be easy to wake them up."
"Then make your move." The Soul Emperor's voice was icy: "Annihilate them!"
He doesn't have time to waste here anymore.
Despite their reluctance, the people, given the Soul Emperor's order, attacked their former elders, relatives, and friends.
These fire slaves are much stronger than they were in life, but they are still a step behind the threat posed by those strange beasts.
But everyone felt incredibly bitter during the fight.
Every cut, every sword strike, felt like cutting into one's own flesh.
Boom—!
Halfway through the fight, a crimson crescent moon suddenly cleaved out from the depths of the void!
The crimson crescent moon was hundreds of feet long, and its sharp edge seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and the earth!
The Soul Emperor raised his hand and squeezed.
Bang!
The crimson waning moon shattered in his palm, transforming into a sky full of blood-red light.
He looked up—
A burly man, carrying a giant axe half his height, slowly walked out.
A golden rune, resembling a flame, shone eerily in the firelight on his forehead.
"Brother Chen—!"
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Xiao Xuan immediately cried out in surprise, his voice trembling.
He never imagined that after so many years, he would see his blood relatives again.
And in this form!
"Blood Axe Xiao Chen!"
Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and the others were also shocked.
Xiao Chen is Xiao Xuan's cousin, half a generation younger than him, but his talent is second only to Xiao Xuan's, and he is known as the twin stars of the Xiao clan.
But he suddenly disappeared when he was at the height of his fame, and I never expected to run into him here!
Moreover, judging from his cultivation level and aura, he has clearly reached the peak of the Dou Sheng realm!
But his condition...
"Senior Soul Emperor, leave him to me!"
Seeing that the Soul Emperor frowned as if he was about to make a move, Xiao Xuan quickly stepped forward and pleaded.
He couldn't bear to watch his cousin, whom he had watched grow up, perish at the hands of others.
The Soul Emperor nodded.
Xiao Xuan immediately stepped forward.
"Brother Chen."
He looked at the once spirited young man before him, now reduced to this state, and his eyes reddened slightly.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry to the Xiao clan."
Even Xiao Xuan, a once powerful and domineering figure who had dominated the continent, couldn't help but feel dejected when faced with his only remaining close relative.
However, what awaited him was...
It was Xiao Chen who swung his blood axe so fiercely!
A sharp, blood-red light pierced the sky, causing everyone present to change color!
It was Xiao Chen's signature move—the Sky Slash!
The crimson axe light seemed capable of cleaving the sky, carrying a world-destroying power as it headed straight for Xiao Xuan's face!
But Xiao Xuan showed no fear whatsoever.
First, there is confidence in one's own strength.
Secondly, he deserves half the credit for the creation of this fighting skill.
He knows it all too well!
Xiao Xuan raised his hand and struck out with a palm, effortlessly deflecting the opponent's attack with the ease of using minimal force.
"Don't worry."
He looked at Xiao Chen's expressionless face, his voice low but firm:
"My Xiao clan has not been wiped out yet."
"The Soul Clan was wiped out by the Soul Emperor himself."
"I found a young man in the clan with great perseverance, and he passed on the last bloodline of our clan."
"He may not be exceptionally talented, but he has inherited the indomitable spirit and bravery of my Xiao clan!"
"And with me here, the Xiao clan will surely rise again."
Xiao Xuan chattered on and on to Xiao Chen, as if he were talking about everyday things, or as if he were talking to his past self.
Despite his deep reluctance, he knew—
He had to take action.
"Brother Chen."
Xiao Xuan's voice suddenly deepened, and his long hair moved without wind.
A glint in his eyes,
His entire aura was overwhelming, like a sword drawn from its sheath, pointing straight to the sky!
"I'm sorry, brother."
"I can only use my clan's ultimate technique to send you on your final journey."
He raised his hand, and a dazzling golden light condensed in his palm.
The golden light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire underground world!
At this moment,
He was no longer the man burdened by the pain of his clan's annihilation.
No longer is it that wandering remnant soul in the Heavenly Tomb.
He was the former patriarch of the Xiao clan, a peerless powerhouse who dominated an era.
He is invincible, God of War!
"Xiao Clan's Clan-Supporting Combat Technique - Battle Against the Heavens!"
Seeing the Xiao clan's secret technique reappear, and that proudly standing figure,
Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and the others felt a chill run down their spines, and couldn't help but recall the fear of being dominated by Xiao Xuan in the past.
When the Soul Clan attacked the Xiao Clan,
Most of them chose to watch from the sidelines.
It's not that they were unaware of the threat posed by the Soul Clan, but after weighing the options, they felt that the Xiao Clan posed a greater threat.
The reason is nothing more than...
The Xiao clan is too domineering and too powerful.
The fact that the Xiao clan's clan emblem was acquired through their own cultivation, rather than bestowed by a powerful member of the clan, reveals a lot about this.
In his quest for a breakthrough, Xiao Chen challenged all the powerful figures of his generation from the ancient clans, leaving them utterly humiliated.
Xiao Xuan even went so far as to have his entire clan ascend to immortality at the slightest disagreement; that kind of boldness and ruthlessness...
This made them extremely wary of the Xiao clan.
Rather than calling them the Xiao clan,
It would be more fitting to call them the "War Clan"!
Xiao Chen seemed to sense the threat as well, and with a loud shout, his fighting spirit surged wildly into the blood axe behind him.
A gigantic phantom of a blood axe, far exceeding anything seen before, materialized, exuding a terrifying aura of bloodlust and carnage!
But within that blood-stained axe,
Yet it subtly exudes the same aura as Xiao Xuan—unyielding, fighting against heaven and earth!
Swords clash with blood axes!
Boom—!!
Golden light and blood light collided, and a violent shockwave spread in all directions, causing magma to surge up to hundreds of feet high!
At this moment, their cultivation levels were roughly equal, but their states were worlds apart.
One is a clear-headed, peerless expert; the other is a puppet being manipulated.
In just a moment,
The Blood Axe began to crack!
The cracks spread from the axe blade to the handle, and then it collapsed with a crash!
The giant sword of the sky continued its momentum, heading straight for Xiao Chen!
Seeing the two former geniuses of the Xiao clan turn against each other, everyone present couldn't help but sigh.
However, at this critical moment—
The situation suddenly reversed!
The colossal sword in the sky paused for a moment in mid-air!
It only takes a moment, but it can be fatal!
A strange light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He raised the blood axe and slashed down fiercely!
Pfft—!
Blood splattered!
Xiao Xuan's arm was severed at the shoulder!
Xiao Chen's momentum remained undiminished, and he raised his blood axe once more, pressing his advantage!
