Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 27 Annihilation

"Where is the cauldron? I'll go take a look!"

Xiao Bai suppressed his doubts and spoke to the boss.

"Please come in, gentlemen!"

The blacksmith led Xiao Bai and his companion to the backyard, which puzzled Xiao Bai even more. Why did they have to come to the backyard to get a cauldron?

Something was wrong; his soul power was directly released to sense the surrounding situation.

Although Xiao Bai was confident in himself, he still had to be cautious when he knew there was a problem.

The blacksmith's enthusiastic behavior outside just now can be explained by other reasons.

But now it's practically etched on my forehead that "I have a problem." Although I'm not worried about danger, I at least need to know what's going on.

After sensing it for a moment, Xiao Bai smiled slightly.

So that's how it is. What a clever scheme!

After leading Xiao Bai to the backyard, the shopkeeper said, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen, I'll go fetch the cauldron right away!"

After saying that, he walked towards a small house in the backyard.

Xiao Bai just watched him act, ignoring him, since he was going to be a dead man soon anyway.

"Xiao Bai, have you offended someone?" This was what Yao Lao suddenly said to Xiao Bai through the ring.

"Someone is so eager to die that you can't stop them. What can I do?" Xiao Bai shook his head.

There wasn't much of a grudge between them, but now they're trying to kill him. He doesn't know why.

"A five-star Grand Dou Master, a three-star Grand Dou Master, and three high-level Dou Masters—this is quite a force to be reckoned with in Wutan City!"

The old apothecary sighed in the ring, but he didn't have any hope for these people at all. With just these people, he didn't even need to lift a finger; Xiao Bai could handle them on his own.

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, five figures appeared around them. It was Jia Liebi, the head of the Jia Lie family, and all the elders of the family.

Xiao Yan was startled. He recognized these people. Seeing the murderous intent on the faces of these high-ranking members of the Jia Lie family, he was initially a little nervous, but then he thought about it.

What's there to be nervous about! Not to mention that Brother Bai was still so calm, and there was even a teacher in the ring. After calming down, he prepared to watch the show.

"Haha. I didn't expect to be so lucky. I only wanted to kill that brat Xiao Bai, but I got a buy-one-get-one-free deal!"

Elder Galen of the Galen family burst into laughter, his excitement barely concealed.

They had already conducted an investigation a year ago and found that only Xiao Bai in the Xiao family was hiding his strength, and even the members of the Xiao family were unaware of it. They guessed that only the few people in power in the Xiao family knew about this.

Contrary to what they thought, Xiao Yan was not a hidden genius; he truly only possessed the third level of Dou Qi, thanks to the eldest daughter of the Nalan family.

Yesterday, the public annulment of the engagement between the Xiao family and the Nalan family became a laughing stock in Wutan City, which made them aware of Xiao Yan's situation.

Since the last incident, Jialiebi has been secretly investigating the two people while keeping an eye on the Xiao family.

He hoped to find a suitable opportunity to get rid of them, but the two boys hadn't left the Xiao family's gate for a year, leaving him helpless.

This kind of thing can be done, but it can only be done secretly, without letting anyone find out, otherwise it will be despised by the entire family, that's the family rule.

It's one thing for peers to fight to the death, but to bully the younger generation and stifle someone else's talent is to just wait for your own juniors to disappear one by one!

So Jialiebi silently endured it. Two days ago, his subordinates suddenly reported that Xiao Bai had finally left the Xiao family's gate, went to a blacksmith's shop, ordered a cauldron, and would pick it up in three days.

This gave Galebi hope of solving one of them, but he still had reservations.

It was only yesterday, when news broke that the Xiao family had been jilted, that Jia Liebi finally made up his mind to take action.

If the Xiao family had two geniuses, things would be even more difficult. There wouldn't be a good opportunity to solve both of them together, and solving only one wouldn't be very meaningful.

But now it's as if heaven is helping him. The Xiao family only has one genius, and this is exactly the opportunity to make a move.

Moreover, this is a pretty good opportunity, as this is the West District, which is already quite chaotic, and it's also far from the East District.

Once the people are dealt with and the body is disposed of at night, who would know it was the Jia Lie family who did it? Even if they suspect, Wutan City has three major families, not just two. Who could the Xiao family suspect?

Jia Liebi looked at Xiao Bai with a sinister gaze. As for Xiao Yan, he was just an extra; it would be better if he were there, but it wouldn't matter if he weren't.

However, this kid was a bit too calm. You should know that, just to be on the safe side, he had brought all the trusted combat forces of the family, but he didn't seem surprised at all by their appearance.

"Chief Jialie has quite the spirit, but if you all perish here today, the Jialie family will be finished, won't it?" Xiao Bai said leisurely to Jialie Bi.

"Haha. You brat, what a boastful tone! Even if you conceal your true strength, do you think you can wipe us all out here today?"

Before Galebi could speak, Galeen sneered.

"No need to say more, resolve this as soon as possible, or things will change!" Jia Liebi said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he took the initiative to make a move. Xiao Bai's calm and composed expression gave him an uneasy feeling. Moreover, he couldn't let anything about what happened today slip out. He didn't want to waste words and wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

Upon hearing the clan leader's order, the elders who had initially intended to mock him joined forces, unleashing their fighting techniques to attack Xiao Bai.

This was planned long ago; if we're not going to do it, we'll do it with all our might and strive for a decisive blow.

Standing to the side, Xiao Yan was not worried at all, but rather looked forward to it. He thought Xiao Bai's performance yesterday was very impressive, but he didn't know the specifics. His teacher wouldn't tell him either. Today, he could finally see for himself.

Xiao Bai looked at the group of people approaching him, shook his head, and unleashed his soul power. The group of people seemed to be shocked by something, and their eyes were momentarily glazed over.

At this moment, Jia Liebi and several other elders were filled with fear. They felt as if someone had hit their heads hard with a giant hammer, and then their minds went blank.

Silver-white lightning flashed beneath Xiao Bai's feet, and he appeared in front of Jialiebi as if he had teleported. Crimson lightning surged from his fingers as he gently touched Jialiebi's brow.

Next, several elders of the Jia family did the same thing, and Xiao then returned to his original position.

Xiao Yan was extremely shocked. He only saw several Bai brothers appear in front of the Jia Lie family members and then disappear.

Suddenly, the bodies of the Jia Lie family members stiffened for a moment, then they fell straight backward, with a black mark between their eyebrows.

As for Brother Bai, he seemed to have just moved slightly in place, and then slowly and methodically straightened his sleeves, as if he had never moved at all.

"That's it? I've just wasted my time watching!"

Xiao Yan thought bitterly, feeling a bit resentful that these guys were really useless. "Look at Brother Bai, he didn't even break a sweat or get a hair out of place."

However, upon further reflection, he realized that his father, Xiao Zhan, was at the same level as Jia Liebi, both being five-star Great Dou Masters.

He felt a pang of sadness for his father.
