“Empress Dowager Mengxi, please make your move, join forces to kill Fengyuntian!” At this moment, Lin Xiao did not respond to Fengyuntian’s words. Instead, his eyes glinted with cold killing intent as he spoke to Empress Dowager Mengxi.
The others were momentarily stunned, utterly perplexed as to why Lin Xiao would call upon Empress Dowager Mengxi for assistance. Although she possessed the cultivation of a Ninth Stage Martial Venerable, was that enough to join forces with the Blue Corpse Puppet to defeat Fengyuntian?
Moreover, how could he be certain that Empress Dowager Mengxi would act on his behalf?
Yet, just as everyone was baffled, Empress Dowager Mengxi soared into the sky, unleashing a terrifying aura of unparalleled martial dominance, charging towards Fengyuntian.
“That’s the aura of a Martial Monarch! Empress Dowager Mengxi has actually broken through to the First Stage Martial Monarch realm!” Zhou Xiong was the first to cry out in shock.
The experts of the Zhou Clan, as well as Ye Fenghua and the others from the Spirit Controller Alliance, were all astounded.
Hadn’t Empress Dowager Mengxi been stuck at the Ninth Stage Martial Venerable realm for countless years, unable to take that final step?
How had she now become a First Stage Martial Monarch powerhouse?
High in the sky, Fengyuntian, who was battling the Blue Corpse Puppet, was equally shocked. Looking at the charging Empress Dowager Mengxi, he said in disbelief, “Empress Dowager Mengxi, you, when did you break through to the Martial Monarch realm?”
“I broke through yesterday. I owe Lin Xiao a great debt,” Empress Dowager Mengxi replied calmly, her overwhelming aura surging as she attacked Fengyuntian.
“What!” Fengyuntian was stunned. Empress Dowager Mengxi had broken through to the Martial Monarch realm because of Lin Xiao?
At the same time, a surge of fury welled up within him. Once again, it was Lin Xiao!
Ye Fenghua, Zhou Mori, and the others were equally shocked, their gazes of disbelief turning towards Lin Xiao. To think that he could enable someone who had been stuck at the Ninth Stage Martial Venerable realm for decades to step into the Martial Monarch realm—this was simply too incredible.
Just how prodigious was Lin Xiao? Still at the Martial Venerable realm, yet possessing such abilities, each move more heaven-defying than the last.
Looking at Lin Xiao’s figure, Zhou Mori’s eyes even lit up. If Empress Dowager Mengxi could make such a breakthrough, then with Lin Xiao’s help, could he one day have a chance to break through as well?
The crowd watching from the sidelines also heard Empress Dowager Mengxi’s words, elevating Lin Xiao’s status even further in their minds.
However, Lin Xiao paid no attention to this. His gaze swept towards the sky, where the old man in the blue-gold patterned robe was being chased and attacked by the Heavenly Demon. Given the severe injuries the old man had sustained, his chances of survival were slim.
If the old man still had any strength left, chasing after him would be futile. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon pursuing him might turn on Lin Xiao at any moment. Thus, Lin Xiao had no immediate plans to pursue the old man in the blue-gold robe.
As for Fengyuntian, under the combined assault of Empress Dowager Mengxi and the Blue Corpse Puppet, he was already losing ground, so Lin Xiao paid him no further attention.
Instead, he shifted his gaze towards the trapped members of the Feng Clan, his body radiating intense killing intent.
Meeting Lin Xiao’s gaze, Feng Ziyang’s heart trembled as he fearfully said, “Lin Xiao, what are you planning to do?”
“Have you forgotten why I returned today?” Lin Xiao stood in place, his tone icy.
At these words, Feng Ziyang and the Feng Clan members recalled what Lin Xiao had said earlier: today, he had returned to exterminate the entire Feng Clan.
“Lin Xiao, you, you can’t do this…” Feng Ziyang stammered in fear.
“Lin Xiao, I have no grudge against you. Please let us go!” Feng Wushuang shouted.
“Lin Xiao, I beg you, please spare us. We’re willing to reconcile and no longer oppose you!” a Martial King pleaded desperately.
“Reconcile? Hahaha…” At this, Lin Xiao burst into laughter, his voice resounding through the heavens. “Reconcile? What are you to think you’re worthy of reconciling with me? Three years ago, how did your Feng Clan treat me? Three years ago, didn’t you order the pursuit and killing of my clan members?”
“Whether you’re innocent or not, you can ask Feng Lanyue and Fengyuntian in the underworld!”
“I’ve said it before: today, I will annihilate your entire Feng Clan. You lot, prepare to be slaughtered!”
His voice boomed, shaking the heavens and causing everyone’s hearts to tremble, especially the trapped members of the Feng Clan, Chen Clan, and Tianxuan Sect, whose eyes were filled with profound terror.
“Lin Xiao, you dare!” High in the sky, Fengyuntian roared in fury, but no matter how fiercely he fought, he could not break through the combined attacks of the Blue Corpse Puppet and Empress Dowager Mengxi.
“Lin Xiao…” Feng Huo’s eyes brimmed with tears. She wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.
Three years ago, she knew exactly how the Feng Clan had treated Lin Xiao and how they had ordered the pursuit of his entire clan. She also knew Lin Xiao’s character all too well.
Thus, even if she wanted to plead for the Feng Clan, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.
Feng Youyu’s heart seemed to tremble, a trace of confusion flickering in her eyes.
“Maoqiu!” At that moment, Lin Xiao shouted, then pointed at Feng Huo, saying, “Release her.”
Then, pointing at Feng Youyu, he added, “Keep her here. As for the rest of the Feng Clan… kill them all!”
“No!!”
At this, Feng Ziyang and the Feng Clan members cried out in terror.
“Swish! Swish!”
Except for Feng Huo, who was released by the white whiskers, and Feng Youyu, who remained trapped in place, the sharp tips of the white whiskers pierced into the bodies of the Feng Clan members, frantically devouring them.
In a short time, amid their screams, all the trapped Feng Clan members were reduced to desiccated corpses. But it didn’t stop there—the white whiskers even consumed their bone marrow, leaving only tattered remnants of clothing.
“No!!” High in the sky, Fengyuntian roared in rage. All the Feng Clan members above the Heavenly Martial realm on the plaza, except for Feng Huo and Feng Youyu, were dead, erased from the world forever.
With their deaths, the Feng Clan was nearly obliterated. Even if he, Feng Youyu, and Feng Huo survived, the Feng Clan was effectively eradicated from the imperial city.
And given Lin Xiao’s nature, he likely wouldn’t spare the remaining clan members. The Feng Clan was truly on the verge of being exterminated by Lin Xiao.
At this moment, Fengyuntian was consumed with fury, his hatred surging like a tidal wave. His powerful attacks erupted in rapid succession.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…
High in the sky, deafening explosions rang out one after another, dazzling lights flashed, and waves of energy surged. The battle between Fengyuntian, the Blue Corpse Puppet, and Empress Dowager Mengxi was ferocious.
“Wuuu~~” Feng Huo couldn’t hold back her tears. After all, those who died were her clansmen.
On Feng Youyu’s cold expression, a trace of sorrow appeared, mixed with hatred, regret, and above all, confusion.
Whether it was the Zhou Clan, the Spirit Controller Alliance, the two great empires, or the onlookers, everyone was struck with awe. In just a few moments, the Feng Clan’s upper echelon—except for Fengyuntian, Feng Youyu, and Feng Huo—had been annihilated? Not even their bodies remained?
“The Chen Clan and the traitors of the Tianxuan Sect, you die as well,” Lin Xiao said without a trace of mercy, his gaze turning towards Chen Wendao.
“No, Lin Xiao, you can’t do this!” Chen Wendao cried out in panic, a pang of regret flashing through his heart. How had their Feng Clan provoked such a monstrous figure? Chen Yan was dead, Chen Qing’er had died because of Lin Xiao, and now, the Chen Clan’s upper echelon was about to perish at his hands.
Yet, amid their screams, in no time at all, the Chen Clan members and the Tianxuan Sect experts who had followed Yan Yitian were reduced to nothing but tattered clothing.
Here, only the top elites of the Chen Clan were present. As for the rest of the Chen and Feng Clans, Lin Xiao would naturally deal with them later to eliminate all threats.
At this moment, the people of the two great empires were horrified. The powerhouses of the Feng Clan, Chen Clan, and Tianxuan Sect had vanished from the world in mere moments…
And now, Lin Xiao’s gaze turned towards them, causing their hearts to tremble.
This included the two severely injured Martial Monarchs, Mo Xiang and Li Yangming.
