Hearing Xu Qin’s words, both Cao family elders were stunned, their faces showing astonishment as they looked at Lin Xiao’s figure.
This guy actually killed Xu Wei?
Xu Wei was one of the Void family’s key nurtured geniuses, someone even the Cao family wouldn’t dare kill lightly. Killing Xu Wei was tantamount to a severe provocation against the Void family, likely prompting a large-scale retaliation.
This guy had the nerve to kill Xu Wei, no wonder they came rushing in fury.
Of course, they didn’t believe Lin Xiao had the ability to kill Xu Wei himself, assuming Mei Tianmo was the one who did it.
“He also killed my grandson, the young master of the Su family, Su Yun!” At this moment, Su Shan spoke out in anger.
Cao Chen and Cao Zheng were shocked again. Just how many outrageous things had these two done?
Killing Su Shan’s grandson and Xu Wei, it’s no surprise they provoked such desperation.
“Hmph, you killed Patriarch Ling Lie, and we’d be fools not to kill your people!” Lin Xiao snorted coldly, shouting at them.
Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, the faces of Su Shan and the others darkened. When had they ever killed Ling Lie?
And Ling Lie was dead? Since when? How did they not know? Earlier in Su Clan City, they were discussing how to eliminate Ling Lie, and now, in the blink of an eye, they were accused of killing him?
Their gazes instinctively swept across the city walls, indeed not seeing Ling Lie’s figure.
But thinking of Lin Xiao’s words, the three were furious. They hadn’t even seen Ling Lie, yet this mere junior dared to slander them so.
Su Shan snorted angrily, “Hmph, you rat, when did we ever kill Ling Lie?”
“What? Ling Lie and Ling Xun were killed by you in Su Clan City, we saw it with our own eyes, do you take us for blind?” Lin Xiao shouted again, as if afraid no one would hear.
At this, even Ling Zhongqian and the other Ling family elders were stunned. Lin Xiao dared to claim Ling Lie was killed by the Su, Guo, and Void families!
Ling Lie was clearly killed by them…
Su Shan was so angry he nearly spat blood, and Xu Qin, unable to hold back, roared, “Slandering us! You killed Xu Wei and now try to make excuses, do you think our Void family is a joke?”
“Hahaha, your Void family’s genius fell, yet you won’t let the truth be told. It’s you Void family people who are slandering, you old dogs, if you want to fight, just fight, why so much nonsense? We’re not afraid of you!”
Lin Xiao laughed with biting sarcasm, his expression equally mocking, driving Xu Qin and the others into a rage, barely restraining themselves from charging.
Hearing the exchange, Cao Zheng and Cao Chen were also stunned. It seemed the matter wasn’t so simple.
Of course, they were more inclined to believe Lin Xiao.
Typically, only a dominant force would pin crimes on others to save face.
The weaker side rarely slanders a stronger force, and even under accusations from a major power, their excuses sound less credible, though the truth often leans towards the weaker side.
The Cao family had done such things plenty of times.
In their eyes, the weaker side was naturally Lin Xiao and Mei Tianmo.
“Nonsense! Cao Zheng, Cao Chen, these two wanted us to join them against you, their intentions are sinister, are you still going to stand in our way?” Xu Qin was furious, his face darkening, killing intent radiating from him.
Before Cao Zheng or Cao Chen could respond, Lin Xiao interjected, “Xu Qin, you old dog, isn’t this divide-and-conquer tactic a bit too childish? If you didn’t kill Ling Lie, is he hiding somewhere now?”
Xu Qin’s eyes narrowed.
Cao Zheng nodded, calmly saying, “Xu Qin, as the saying goes, even beating a dog depends on its master. Ling Lie worked for our Cao family, and you killed him. Isn’t your excuse a bit too flimsy?”
Cao Chen also looked utterly unconvinced. As for Xu Qin’s claim that Lin Xiao tried to recruit them against the Cao family, not only did they not believe it, but even if true, they weren’t afraid of Mei Tianmo and Lin Xiao, merely using them.
“You!” Xu Qin was choked with anger, his face grim as he snorted, “Hmph, Cao Zheng, they’re your people, and killing Xu Wei was your doing, wasn’t it?”
“Xu Qin, you’re getting used to slandering people, aren’t you?” Cao Chen’s face also darkened slightly. Being accused of orchestrating Xu Wei’s death was no small charge.
“Old dog, you talk too much nonsense, fight if you dare, or scram if you don’t!” Lin Xiao’s loud shout rang out, his tone utterly arrogant.
“Beast, today, even if it costs my life, I’ll kill you, attack!” Xu Qin finally lost it, roaring as he charged forward, unleashing a vast palm strike that surged with mountain-crushing force.
“Kill!” Su Shan and Guo Xiong also moved. Seeing the situation, the Cao family elders were clearly set on joining the woman to fight, possibly even orchestrated by the Cao family, leaving no room for negotiation.
Boom!
Cao Zheng’s palm glowed brightly, condensing into a massive palm print that blasted towards Xu Qin’s strike.
The two palm forces collided, creating a tremendous shockwave that rippled in all directions.
Then, Cao Zheng charged forward, clashing with Xu Qin in close combat, the void trembling as terrifying shockwaves rippled out, the collisions shaking the heart.
At the same time, Cao Chen moved, unleashing fearsome power that clashed with third-tier True Monarch Guo Xiong, sending rolling waves of energy.
On the other side, Mei Tianmo acted, black mist surging from her as a dark palm print shot towards Su Shan. The terrifying force shattered Su Shan’s attack and continued towards him, forcing him to dodge with a change in expression.
Yet Mei Tianmo’s speed was astonishing, rapidly attacking Su Shan.
“Everyone, fall back!” Ling Zhongqian roared, the True Monarchs’ power too great. They had to summon elemental wings and retreat, protecting Lin Xiao among them.
The Ling family’s city walls were instantly toppled by the residual shockwaves.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” …
Thunderous explosions rang out continuously, dazzling light illuminating the heavens, vast waves of energy surging like a sea, terrifying ripples shaking the world.
The battle of six True Monarchs was immensely powerful, capable of flattening the entire Ling family’s city if unrestrained.
Fortunately, Cao Zheng and Cao Chen intentionally pushed Xu Qin and Guo Xiong outward.
Xu Qin and Guo Xiong had no intention of deliberately harming the city’s residents either.
As for Su Shan, he was forced into constant retreat by Mei Tianmo. Within moments, he unleashed a series of ultimate moves, but was still beaten back, on the verge of collapse.
“Mei’er, end it quickly, use your strongest power!” Lin Xiao shouted from the void behind.
