Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"But don't forget, my strength is basically the pinnacle of this world, and I am only one step away from becoming a Doudi."

"Don't even mention that there are only you and the Second Elder, two Eight-Star Dou Shengs. Even if there are more, they may not be able to hurt me. Compared with you two, the Third Elder is young, but he is more self-aware."

Hearing what Xiao Wuyun said, the Great Elder's heart sank, and he finally understood in his heart why the Third Elder was unwilling to rebel against Xiao Wuyun even though he and the Second Elder talked till they were dry-mouthed.

Does the Third Elder really not understand the principle of boiling a frog in warm water?

No! He is not a fool, of course he understands!

But compared to this, he understood Xiao Wuyun's strength better, and was more aware of the horror of the peak of the late Nine-Star Douluo!

Unlike Xiao Wuyun and the third elder, two rising stars, the first elder and the second elder have been stagnating at the level of eight-star Douluo for nearly a hundred years. They have long forgotten that every star of Douluo strength means crossing a huge chasm!

Every time a Douluo gains a star, his strength becomes a world of difference from before!

It can't be fought, it can't be fought at all.

The Great Elder was completely in despair. Not to mention that the rebellion plan was known in advance, even if the plan had not been leaked, they would not be able to do anything to Xiao Wuyun.

Xiao Wuyun's strength is enough to ignore all conspiracies and tricks. No matter how deep your calculations are, it will be meaningless.

However, just when the Great Elder was about to give up, the seven Douluo who had been following him suppressed the fear in their hearts and rushed towards Xiao Wuyun with howls.

"Great Elder, hurry up! Let's hold him back!"

"I will repay you with my life!"

Xiao Wuyun looked at the group of low-star Douluo who were fearlessly rushing towards him, with deep contempt in his eyes and quite sarcastic words in his mouth.

"What a group of loyal subordinates."

Having witnessed his own strength with their own eyes, they were still able to rush forward and fight for the Great Elder. Their performance is indeed worthy of the word loyalty.

"However, although it is loyal, it is also stupid."

"Strength is everything. As for loyalty or anything else, it is meaningless."

Xiao Wuyun waved his hand lightly and slapped a five-star Douluo who was rushing towards him into nothingness.

This is the strength of a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng! With just a slap, he can turn a low-level Dou Sheng into dregs!

But even after seeing the tragic and insignificant fate of their companions, the people behind them still did not retreat at all. Instead, they rushed towards Xiao Wuyun even more fiercely.

At this time, the Great Elder was also shocked, looking at his subordinates who were rushing forward one after another to cover his escape.

Each of these subordinates was promoted by him little by little over the years, and each of them is his absolute confidant.

But even so, the Great Elder had never thought that they would actually voluntarily sacrifice their lives for him. This was simply impossible in the Xiao clan, where the law of the jungle is the truth.

But then the Great Elder came to his senses, gritted his teeth, turned around and quickly fled.

They have all risked their lives for me. If I still hesitate here, I would be truly unworthy of their sacrifice!

"Hoo? Want to run?"

Seeing the great elder escape thousands of meters away in the blink of an eye, Xiao Wuyun raised his eyebrows slightly. Just as he was about to chase him, another four-star Douluo blocked his way.

"If you want to catch up with the Great Elder, you must catch up with me first."

"Noisy!"

Xiao Wuyun gave him a cold glance without even moving his hands, and the four-star Douluo exploded and died instantly, with even his soul wiped out without a trace.

Upon seeing this, the remaining five Fighting Saints became determined and gathered their fighting spirit in their hearts as if they had telepathy.

Explode! ! !

The energy released by the self-detonation of five Dousheng-level warriors was enough to destroy most of the Xiao clan's space!

Just when Xiao Wuyun's subordinates' faces suddenly changed, Xiao Wuyun looked disdainful.

"Weak people only know these tricks."

Xiao Wuyun slowly raised his hand, and a giant energy hand that seemed to cover the sky and the earth suddenly appeared. He grabbed the five Douluo Saints tightly in his hand, and then squeezed it hard, and the aura of the five Douluo Saints completely disappeared.

This was the strength of a Nine-Star Douluo at the peak of the late stage. Low-level Douluo didn't even have the chance to self-destruct in front of him.

When Xiao Wuyun's subordinates saw the heroic figure of their chief killing those fighting saints with ease, they trembled in their hearts and were terrified to the extreme.

Is this the pinnacle power of this world?

Not to mention just these few Douluo Saints, even if all the Douluo Saints of the Xiao clan were added together, they might not be enough for Xiao Wuyun to defeat!

Xiao Wuyun's expression was indifferent. With a wave of his hand, the giant energy hand disappeared in an instant. He narrowed his eyes slightly and sent out his spiritual sense, but could no longer find the existence of the great elder.

"Heh~ After all, he is an eight-star Dou Sheng, so he can escape pretty quickly."

Xiao Wuyun laughed disdainfully. Although an eight-star Douluo was definitely not a match for a nine-star Douluo at the peak of the late stage, if he was determined to escape, it would not be that difficult, even without those loyal subordinates who were desperately protecting him.

"The Patriarch, should we go find him?"

A subordinate tremblingly asked Xiao Wuyun for his opinion, and Xiao Wuyun just waved his hand.

"Forget it. The attack I just made has already severely injured him. His current strength is far inferior to that of a one-star Dou Sheng. There is no need to worry about him. Guard the border of the Xiao clan and do not allow anyone to enter or leave."

"Yes!"

When one reaches the level of Fighting Saint, the higher the level, the harder it is to get hurt, but at the same time, the more vulnerable one is to injuries. Once one gets a slightly serious injury, the recovery time will be calculated in hundreds of years.

The Great Elder had just been severely injured by a blow from Xiao Wuyun. From the looks of it, it would take him two to three hundred years to fully recover. And this was when there were sufficient resources. Even if he escaped now, he would not be able to stay in the Xiao Clan. The outside world simply did not have enough resources for him to recuperate.

In other words, the current Great Elder is nothing but a waste, and it is only a matter of time before he is caught.

Immediately, Xiao Wuyun frowned slightly.

The reason why he knew in advance that the first elder and the second elder were plotting a rebellion was because someone tipped him off. He didn't know who this person was. This person placed the news of the first elder and the second elder's rebellion on the route that the Xiao Clan's Holy Guards had to take during their patrols. The Xiao Clan's Holy Guards reported it to him after seeing it.

Is that person helping me? Or is he simply using me to get rid of the First and Second Elders?

Xiao Wuyun frowned slightly and thought about it, but soon he put it out of his mind.

It doesn't matter, don't worry too much about it.

Because Xiao Wuyun is absolutely confident in his own strength, no matter what the other party's purpose is, they will not be able to do anything to him.

This is, absolutely.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

At the edge of the Xiao clan's territory, in a dark room somewhere, the great elder who escaped from Xiao Wuyun was coughing violently. He, an eight-star Dou Sheng, could hardly stand steadily, and his shoulders kept shaking.

It would be impossible for him to leave the Xiao clan directly with his current physical condition. Once he touched the border of the Xiao clan, he would be immediately sensed by Xiao Wuyun. Therefore, he came to this dark room that had existed for a hundred years.

This dark room is built with special materials, and no matter what noise is made inside, it cannot be felt outside.

Moreover, there is a space formation here that ignores the spatial restrictions of the Xiao clan and leads to the outside world of the Xiao clan. It can only be accessed by one person. Because it has been so long, even the great elder almost forgot that there was such a place. He only remembered it when he was escaping just now.

This is the only way for the Great Elder to escape from the Xiao Clan.

The Great Elder breathed slowly, then stood in front of the formation and chanted a mantra. In an instant, the formation in front of him glowed with a blood-red light, and a space gate gradually rose in the center of the formation. The Great Elder looked delighted.

As long as you step into this space door, you can leave the Xiao clan without being discovered.

However, just as the Great Elder was about to enter, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"grandfather?"

"Um?!"

The Great Elder's expression froze, he turned his head suddenly and saw Xiao Ling appear in the dark room.

The Great Elder suddenly looked flustered. He retracted one foot that had already stepped into the space gate and rushed forward to grab Xiao Ling's shoulders to examine him carefully.

Indeed, it was her granddaughter for sure.

"Ling'er, why are you still here?! Didn't I tell you to leave?!"

The Great Elder questioned sternly. Although his tone was extremely angry, one could clearly hear his deep concern for Xiao Ling.

"I was just worried about you and came back to check on you."

Xiao Ling had a complicated look on his face and a hint of hesitation in his eyes as he answered in a low voice.

The Great Elder did not notice Xiao Ling's strange expression at all at this time, and he stamped his feet in anxiety.

"You girl! Why are you worried about me? I asked you to leave first because I was afraid you would be implicated! Now you can't get out even if you want to!"

There is no need to think about it. Xiao Wuyun must have blocked the Xiao clan's spatial borders. No one can enter or leave, let alone Xiao Ling, a one-star Douluo.

As long as the Xiao clan's space is blocked, Xiao Wuyun will order people to search the entire Xiao clan. Even if this place is so hidden, it will only be a matter of time before they find it.

The Great Elder gritted his teeth, grabbed Xiao Ling's arm without hesitation, walked towards the opened space door, and was about to push her in.

"Go away! Don't come back!"

"Wait! Grandpa!" Xiao Ling quickly broke free and moved away from the space door, staring at the elder closely, "This door can only let one person in, right? What are you going to do if I go in?"

Whether it was this dark room or this space door, the Great Elder had told her before that they were prepared for emergencies one day. Therefore, Xiao Ling also knew that only one person could enter through this space door.

This kind of space formation that ignores the Xiao clan's space is not so easy to set up. If he goes in, the Great Elder will be found sooner or later, and he will definitely die then.

"Silly child, you are grandpa's only hope. If even you are gone, what is the meaning of my living?" The elder looked at Xiao Ling lovingly and said sincerely: "As long as you can be safe and sound, grandpa's death is worth it."

The words of the Great Elder made Xiao Ling pause slightly, then she slowly lowered her head, her hair covering her eyes, and two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

Seeing her appearance, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief and urged her again.

"Let's go quickly, Xiao Wuyun is likely to find this place."

When Xiao Ling heard the words of the Great Elder, he did not respond immediately. After a long time, he slowly raised his head, looked at his grandfather who doted on him so much, and called softly with tears in his eyes.

"Grandpa, thank you for taking care of me all the time."

"What are you thanking me for? This is what grandpa should do!!!"

The Great Elder's pupils suddenly dilated, and he stared blankly at Xiao Ling, who was in tears and had a ferocious look on his face.

Xiao Ling lowered his head slightly, and one of his hands pierced through his chest and tightly grasped his heart.

Under normal circumstances, even if Xiao Ling was caught off guard, he would not be able to hurt the Great Elder.

However, the Great Elder had just been seriously injured, and his strength was far inferior to that of a one-star Douluo.

And Xiao Ling is now a one-star Dou Sheng, and the Great Elder could never have imagined that his granddaughter would be so cruel and unprepared.

"Ling'er. You. Why."

"Grandpa." Xiao Ling's eyes were red as he stared at the elder's eyes that were filled with heartache and confusion. "Please, rest in peace."

Puff!

Xiao Ling suddenly crushed the Great Elder's heart, and the Great Elder's expression instantly dimmed. His old body slowly fell to the ground, looking so miserable and sad.

Compared to the pain of a burst heart, the Great Elder's heart was undoubtedly in more pain.

The Great Elder could not understand until his death that the person who killed him was Xiao Ling, the person he had always doted on and regarded as his most important treasure.

For Xiao Ling, he would even sacrifice his life and give her the only way of escape without hesitation.

But he couldn't accept Xiao Ling taking his life.

Really, unacceptable.

After the death of the Great Elder, another figure stood up. It was Xiao Ying, who was assuming the identity of Xiao Qiu.

At this time, Xiao Ying had a complicated expression. He looked at the body of the great elder on the ground, then looked up at Xiao Ling who was lowering her head and crying.

She actually did it.

"Hey, what are you still doing?" Xiao Ling said in a hoarse voice, glancing coldly at Xiao Ying, "Hurry up, or his soul will come out and it will be troublesome."

"."

Xiao Ying remained silent for a long time before she came to the Great Elder's body, squatted down, and gently stroked the Great Elder's back with her delicate hands.

Immediately, the fighting spirit, soul, blood, everything in the Great Elder's body began to flow into Xiao Ying's body, and Xiao Ying's strength began to grow rapidly, visibly.

Finally, after absorbing the last drop of blood, Xiao Ying's strength jumped from a one-star Dou Zun to the peak level of Dou Zun.

This was when the Great Elder was seriously injured, with his internal fighting spirit and soul incomplete. If Xiao Ying absorbed the Great Elder in his complete state, it would not be impossible for him to become a Fighting Saint in one leap.

However, under normal circumstances, the Great Elder would not stand there and let her absorb. Moreover, it was not important to Xiao Ying how much strength could be improved through absorption. What she really wanted was the Dou Di blood contained in the Great Elder's body, which was far superior to that of other human beings in the Xiao clan.

As long as I have this, it is enough.

After absorbing it, Xiao Ying stood up, looked at the dried body of the great elder in front of him, and turned to look at Xiao Ling.

"Your grandfather's body."
