“I’ll handle this alone!”
Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, the onlookers’ faces twitched involuntarily.
No matter how strong Lin Xiao was, surely he couldn’t take on over thirty people alone—especially with experts like Mo Xuan and Mo Chang among them, not to mention several Heavenly Martial Sixth and Seventh Layer powerhouses.
The Mo Alliance disciples stumbled in disbelief. This was beyond arrogant—they were over thirty strong, and Lin Xiao intended to face them all by himself?
“Hmph, let’s see how you deal with us—kill him!”
Mo Xuan erupted in fury, roaring as he swung his longsword. A dazzling burst of light shot forth, the radiant sword beam unleashing a terrifying wave that surged forward.
Beside him, Mo Chang unleashed an even mightier strike, its fearsome power tearing through the air alongside Mo Xuan’s attack.
At the same time, the other disciples joined in, unleashing a barrage of powerful strikes that all targeted Lin Xiao.
“Come on!” Lin Xiao gripped his sword with both hands, the surging power in his dantian reaching its peak. A faint earthy glow bloomed from his dantian, and a massive blood-red dragon phantom rose behind him.
“Roar!”
A resounding dragon’s cry erupted, an ancient aura from the primordial wilds sweeping out. An invincible pressure, dominating through the ages, radiated from the blood dragon phantom, enveloping everyone around.
In that moment, every heart trembled fiercely, as if facing a terrifying true dragon from ancient times. Their spirits quaked uncontrollably, urging them to kneel in awe.
Simultaneously, Lin Xiao swung his sword with full force. A brilliant azure light burst from the blade, transforming into an azure dragon sword beam that slashed diagonally.
“Roar!”
The azure dragon beam merged with the blood dragon anomaly, its cry echoing through the heavens. The sword beam, brimming with world-shattering power, collided with the Mo Alliance’s combined assault.
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion rang out. The azure dragon beam was unstoppable, shattering the joint attack of dozens. It struck the ground, unleashing a sea of shockwaves that flung all thirty-odd Mo Alliance members backwards, dust and energy rolling outward in all directions.
One move—just one move—and the Mo Alliance’s entire force was crushed, defeated in disarray!
The faces of Mo Xuan, Mo Chang, and the others, thrown back by the blast, were filled with horror. They’d never imagined Lin Xiao’s attack could be so devastating—no chance to even resist.
Even a low-tier Martial King might only match this level of strength.
This time, they truly felt Lin Xiao’s terror!
The onlookers stood dumbfounded, jaws dropped.
After a pause, someone finally gasped, “That’s an Earth-tier beginner anomaly—a divine dragon anomaly!”
“The legendary divine dragon anomaly! Heavens, I felt like I was facing a real dragon just now—so terrifying!”
“An Earth-tier beginner anomaly—this could rival the most monstrous geniuses in the outer court!”
“That was his strongest attack—absolutely horrifying!”
The crowd erupted in shocked exclamations, every face marked with awe. Whether it was the divine dragon anomaly or its Earth-tier beginner rank, the impact was overwhelming.
“How is this possible? An Earth-tier beginner divine dragon anomaly—this, this, how can it be?” In the crowd, Ba Hu’s face was frozen in shock, his talent utterly dwarfed by Lin Xiao’s, far beyond even Wang Long’s.
The only one relatively calm was Wang Long beside him. He’d seen Lin Xiao’s anomaly firsthand, though back then Lin Xiao hadn’t unleashed such a devastating strike. If he had, the consequences would’ve been unthinkable.
Now, Wang Long’s wariness of Lin Xiao deepened.
Seeing Wang Long’s reaction, Ba Hu finally understood why Wang Long had fled without a fight. Lin Xiao’s true strength was this terrifying—challenging him back then would’ve been suicide.
Behind Lin Xiao, Heaven Gate’s dozen new recruits were equally stunned. They’d come to storm the Mo Alliance, yet hadn’t lifted a finger—the entire Mo Alliance was taken down by Lin Xiao alone?
Their hearts buzzed with shock and relief. Good thing they’d taken that step to join, or with their strength, getting in now might’ve been impossible.
At this point, no one dared underestimate Lin Xiao anymore. In Shengyuan Academy, perhaps only the top ten factions could stand against him.
The Mo Alliance was no longer twentieth—those ranked below would have to shift down.
Even Lin Xiao himself was mildly surprised. He’d wanted to test the power of Great Azure Dragon Slash combined with his blood dragon anomaly against over thirty Mo Alliance experts.
Crushing the combined might of dozens of Heavenly Martial powerhouses wasn’t something just anyone could do.
As the dust settled, Lin Xiao’s gaze calmly swept to Mo Yi, sprawled to the side. Already injured by Great Azure Dragon Slash and unable to fight back, the shockwave had flung him further, leaving him even more battered.
Staring at Lin Xiao with eyes full of dread and resentment, Mo Yi struggled to speak through bloodied lips. “Lin Xiao, you’ll die for this!”
“Will I?” Lin Xiao’s lips curled into a mocking smirk. “Plenty have said that, yet here I am, alive and well. Whether I die or not, let’s talk when you can stand. For now, hand over your storage rings!”
“You!” Mo Yi’s face hardened, a surge of blood clogging his chest.
“And your Mo Alliance crew—all of you, get out of here. This turf is ours now!” Lin Xiao added casually.
“Pfft!” Mo Yi couldn’t hold it in—a massive spurt of blood sprayed out. Being driven from their own territory was a humiliation beyond measure.
From now on, he’d struggle to hold his head up in Shengyuan Academy. His reputation was thoroughly trampled under Lin Xiao’s feet.
The crowd’s hearts raced with shock. Lin Xiao was ruthless and bold—taking their storage rings and seizing the entire Mo Alliance territory in one fell swoop.
Yet, they had to admit—he had the strength to back it up.
“Enough! You can’t push people too far!” Just then, a harsh male voice rang out from afar, thick with menace.
