The sonic wave’s range was extremely wide, affecting not only the hundreds or thousands of Cao family experts ahead but also rapidly spreading across a dozen miles within the Cao family compound.
The Cao family’s buildings did not shatter, but the dragon’s roar sonic wave penetrated through layer after layer, its piercing power utterly terrifying.
This dragon’s roar sonic wave was an indiscriminate attack, causing the heads of all those below the Martial Venerable realm present to explode instantly, with no one spared.
Even the weaker Martial Venerables, though not to the point of having their heads explode, were severely bleeding from all seven orifices, their survival uncertain.
The people of the Cao family within the compound likely fared no better.
The sonic attack was extremely fast, with the hundred-zhang-long dragon’s thunderous power fully transformed into a sonic wave in just a single breath.
Instantly, a chorus of anguished wails rang out.
“Ah!!” Cao Gang’s earth-shaking roar resounded as he defended against the sonic wave, unleashing his formidable Martial Lord power.
However, at that moment, the prepared Mei Tianmo had already struck with a palm. As Cao Gang unleashed his power, a massive palm force had reached him, colliding with his energy, causing a tremendous surge of fluctuations to erupt before him.
At this point, Mei Tianmo, with overwhelming momentum, swiftly swept Lin Xiao and the others away in a rapid escape.
“I will kill you all!!”
A thunderous roar, like the rumble of the nine heavens, echoed as Cao Gang’s figure shot forward, fiercely pursuing Lin Xiao and the others.
The other two Martial Lord elders also rushed out, chasing after them.
The three of them were so furious they could spit blood.
Aside from those at the Martial Venerable realm, everyone in the Cao family had died, their brains exploding, including a large number of highly talented Martial King disciples.
Even Cao Yuhua had been killed by the dragon’s roar sonic wave, her brain exploding.
They could never have imagined that this young man possessed such a terrifying attack, an indiscriminate strike that affected everyone.
Even those watching from the outer perimeter opposite the Cao family, who were not directly hit by the sonic wave, felt their eardrums buzzing and saw stars, some even fainting.
Though they were not struck by the dragon’s roar sonic wave, they still heard the piercing screech that shook the heavens.
That screech was simply too terrifying.
They, too, could not have imagined that “Xu Changkong” could be so terrifying and ruthless, unleashing such a fearsome attack, killing Cao Yuhua and all those below the Martial Venerable realm in the Cao family.
They could even imagine the rage of Cao Gang and the others.
Such a massive event would likely shake the entire region, and something major was bound to happen in this area.
In fact, Lin Xiao himself had not expected that not only would his strike succeed, but the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Spirit Roar would have such devastating power, killing so many people at once.
Although in terms of individual combat strength, it had barely killed any Martial Venerables, its destructive power was utterly terrifying.
An indiscriminate attack that could kill one could kill countless; all the weaker ones affected by the dragon’s roar sonic wave were slaughtered, leaving Lin Xiao himself trembling at the thought.
It was obvious that with this attack, the Cao family would undoubtedly launch a massive retaliation.
Since they had come to rescue Xu Hao and were mistaken for Xu Changkong, the Cao family’s target for revenge would likely be the Xu family.
A war between the Cao and Xu families was likely imminent, which was also the outcome Lin Xiao desired.
Of course, when Lin Xiao unleashed the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Roar, he did not fully reveal the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Spirit.
The Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Roar could be used at close range or from a distance.
At close range, it was unleashed from the forehead, with the thunder dragon roaring and bursting into a sonic wave immediately upon emerging.
At a distance, the thunder dragon could be controlled to roar at a far-off location.
Close-range execution was mainly for sudden attacks when enemies were near, achieving an unexpected assault effect.
It could also conceal the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Spirit, making others mistake it for some special martial technique.
Distant attacks were for situations where one could not or did not need to approach the enemy.
Lin Xiao also knew that the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Spirit was too famous in the Chaotic Lands, and the Cao family would surely report that he possessed it.
Thus, he chose to unleash the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Roar at close range.
Fortunately, the indiscriminate attack of the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Roar spread forward, otherwise, his opportunities to use it would have been even fewer.
After all, his allies could be standing beside or behind him at any moment.
Witnessing such a terrifying attack, even Mei Tianmo was utterly shocked, while Xu Hao, who was swept away, was stunned, trembling for a long time.
“Enough!”
At this moment, watching Cao Gang and the other two chasing from afar, Lin Xiao sighed softly, took out the Xu Sky Phoenix Wings, infused them with a batch of elixirs, and then vanished from the pursuit range of Cao Gang and the others at an incredible speed.
Originally, they had flown toward the Xu family in the northeast of Cao Family City No. 5, but after a short distance, they veered westward.
With such misdirection, it would be hard for the Cao family not to believe they were from the Xu family.
After flying hundreds of miles, Lin Xiao stopped in a forest.
“Who are you, and why are you pretending to be from my Xu family?” As soon as they stopped, Xu Hao urgently asked.
“Can’t you tell? We’re pretending to be from the Xu family to save you,” Lin Xiao said with an amused expression.
“Save me?” Xu Hao’s face darkened, and he said discontentedly, “Do you know that by doing this, you’ll bring disaster to our entire Xu family!”
Lin Xiao grinned and said, “Of course we know.”
“Knowing this, why did you still do it? How can the Xu family tolerate such reckless actions?” Xu Hao angrily rebuked.
“Uh…” Lin Xiao was momentarily stunned, realizing this guy still hadn’t grasped the situation, thinking they were hired by the Xu family and daring to speak to them in such a tone.
“The Xu family may not tolerate it, but…” Lin Xiao smirked teasingly, “why do we need the Xu family’s permission?”
“Hm?” Hearing this, Xu Hao suddenly felt something was off. Looking up at Lin Xiao and Mei Tianmo, seeing their playful gazes, a chilling sensation surged within him, and he said, “You, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Lin Xiao chuckled, his expression growing even more teasing.
Seeing Lin Xiao’s demeanor, Xu Hao felt increasingly uneasy, recalling the earlier events. The more he thought, the more terrified he became.
“You, you… you’re not here to save me, but to provoke a war between the Xu and Cao families?” Xu Hao finally asked in utter horror.
“It seems you’re not that foolish,” Lin Xiao said with a smile, the corners of his mouth curling into a pronounced arc.
