Chapter 339: The Overbearing Nature of Xiao Wu

A few days ago in the Manghuang Ancient Region, in front of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it could be said that true powerhouses were as numerous as clouds. Dou Sheng powerhouses from the Soul Clan, Ancient Clan, Heavenly Mansion, Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and Langya Pavilion all appeared here.

Many teams from other factions, knowing they could not get involved in the struggle between the major super-factions, had long since wisely fled far away, observing the battle situation of the several major factions from the periphery.

Watching the several Dou Sheng powerhouses eyeing them like tigers, the slightly pale-faced Xian'er could not help but tug on Xiao Wu's sleeve and whispered, "Senior Brother, shall we withdraw first?"

"And seek revenge on the guys from the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan later?"

Xiao Wu's expression was cold and stern as he shielded Xian'er, "Stay behind Senior Brother. Just those three old fellows from the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan are no threat."

"To dare to lay a hand on you, they must be tired of living."

Seeing this, Xian'er could only watch the standoff from the side.

"Lord Xiao Wu, as the Dou Sheng representative of Langya Pavilion, shouldn't you provide a slight explanation regarding this matter?" a woman with phoenix eyes dressed in colorful robes said haughtily.

"Explanation? Explain what?" Xiao Wu smiled coldly.

"Explain why you old fellows lowered yourselves to launch lethal attacks on a junior who hasn't even reached the Saint Realm? Or that your juniors were inferior in skill and were almost wiped out by our Langya Pavilion two-on-one?"

The cold light on the long sword in Xiao Wu's hand flickered, pointing directly at the arrogant beautiful woman in front.

"Feng Huang, is your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan preparing to continue that unfinished war with our Langya Pavilion?"

"Hehehe~ Little brat Xiao Wu, it seems Langya Pavilion has given you a great deal of courage!"

Hearing this, a mocking expression appeared on the corner of Xiao Wu's mouth, "I wondered who it was; the rats of the Soul Clan dare to appear at a time like this too."

"And two of them came, one a one-star, one a two-star. Do you really think this bit of ability can do anything to us?"

He cast a disdainful glance at Hun Yu, who was hiding in the back and staring at him with resentment, "Your Clan Leader Candidate doesn't seem worth doing this for!"

Hearing the mockery in Xiao Wu's words, Hun Yu's pupils shrank violently, his fists clenched tight, his nails digging into his flesh, and fresh blood flowed down his palms.

The Soul Clan Dou Sheng elder laughed grimly, using a hoarse voice, "Our Clan Leader Candidate is not someone a little brat like you is qualified to evaluate."

"Your Langya Pavilion caused such painful losses to our clan, and Young Master Hun Yu even nearly met with disaster. Out of respect for the Ice Saint, as long as that little girl bows her head and apologizes, we will let bygones be bygones."

"Mo Lao..." Hun Yu was anxious. He had suffered heavy losses this time; the Three Venerables' Nine-Turn Dou Zun Peak Kumu had died at the hands of that woman, and only two or three of his confidants had survived. How could it be settled so easily?

Suddenly catching a glimpse of the other party's extremely dangerous gaze, he felt a chill in his heart and said no more.

Immediately after, Hun Yu heard Mo Lao's incomparably cold voice: "We have that one from Langya Pavilion, and that is enough. Now is not the time to tear our faces with them. Whatever grievances you have, endure them for this old man."

"Furthermore, you are not yet the Clan Leader; you have no right to teach this old man how to act. There are many in the clan who can replace you. Recognize your own status!"

"Yes! This junior has been taught." A thick hatred flashed in Hun Yu's eyes, but his demeanor was extremely respectful as he spoke.

"It is good that you understand," Mo Lao said indifferently.

He turned to Xiao Wu and said with a fake smile, "Has your Excellency considered it?"

"Considered? Considered what?" Xiao Wu said coldly, "Do you think you can still go back today?"

Mo Lao was slightly stunned, and with a somewhat amused expression, said, "Does your Excellency Xiao Wu think those two would be willing to help you become an enemy of our Soul Clan?"

He thought Xiao Wu was preparing to unite with the Ancient Clan Dou Sheng and the Heavenly Mansion's Yao Lao to pincer them, but Mo Lao did not believe they had the guts.

Yao Lao and the Ancient Clan Dou Sheng also revealed difficult expressions; although they did not fear the strength of these two from the Soul Clan, they had to consider the attitudes of the people behind them.

Starting a war rashly did not align with their intentions.

Just at this moment, Yao Lao suddenly froze and looked obscurely in Xiao Wu's direction. The latter nodded secretly, and a faint, imperceptible arc immediately rose on the corner of Yao Lao's mouth.

Suddenly, they heard Xiao Wu say, "As a junior, I will give you a chance to choose how you die."

"Old fellows of the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, have you thought about how you will die?"

"What did you say?" Feng Huang and the two Soul Clan elders, who had already intended to retreat, seemed to have heard something incredible; they widened their eyes and stared at Xiao Wu.

"Sometimes talking to you old immortals is just tiring." Xiao Wu shook his head helplessly but said no more.

"I might as well let you experience some pain."

As the words fell, the people of Langya Pavilion suddenly felt a gentle force lift them up and send them toward the location of the Heavenly Mansion, where they were caught by the well-prepared Yao Lao.

"Ah!"

Before Mo Lao and the others could react to Xiao Wu's sudden move, they heard screams rising from behind them.

With their expressions changing drastically, they looked behind them, and then...

"You are courting death!"

The expressions of Mo Lao and the others were extremely ugly. Except for the two who were personally protecting Hun Yu and Nine Phoenix, all the other remaining members of the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had died in someone's surprise attack.

At this time, Xiao Wu appeared again in his previous position, his fingertips gently brushing the blood continuously dripping from the tip of his sword, and he said with a rather wicked sense of humor:

"What, you few cannot accept this already?"

"If you had known it would come to this, why act as you did in the beginning?" Xiao Wu's smile carried not a trace of warmth, making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"From the moment you made your move, you should have anticipated the consequences of today."

The onlookers, Yao Lao and the Ancient Clan Dou Sheng, clicked their tongues in secret. This kind of ruthless method of retaliation was indeed sharp and very satisfying!

However, Mo Lao and the others facing Xiao Wu were not intimidated by this behavior; instead, their inner anger was ignited.

"It seems the Ice Saint did not teach her disciple to respect his elders!"

"Elders?" Xiao Wu shook his head and said indifferently, "You are not worthy."

"What a sharp-tongued brat. Today, this old man will teach you the rules of the Dou Qi Continent."

"Ghost Vine Binding Star Hand!" Mo Lao shouted, and his right hand suddenly elongated, soft as if boneless, shooting toward Xiao Wu like a vine.

"Phoenix Flame Burning Heaven!" Feng Huang's aura surged violently, and endless flames formed a phoenix phantom hundreds of feet large behind her.

"Screech!" After a screech, the flame phoenix, seemingly carrying divine light, pounced toward Xiao Wu.

Although the two were joining forces temporarily, their rich combat experience still made Feng Huang subconsciously seal off Xiao Wu's escape route.

Two two-star Dou Sheng attacking at the same time, with only one Soul Clan Dou Sheng elder left to personally protect the remaining future successors of the two clans, was already giving Xiao Wu plenty of face.

However, Xiao Wu faced this combined attack, which was enough to severely injure an ordinary two-star Dou Sheng, with calm, and instead shook his head in disappointment, murmuring, "If this is all..."

"Then it is you who will die." Xiao Wu's tone was icy.

His hand seals changed repeatedly, trailing afterimages, drawing strange patterns in the air.

"Hah!"

"Although it is a bit inferior to Teacher's, it is more than enough to deal with you all."

"Frost Duel Arena, rise!"

The crowd of experts felt the faintly emerging might, and their expressions changed one after another, "Not good, retreat!"

Immediately, in the astonished gazes of everyone, a massive battle platform with a diameter of a thousand zhang slowly emerged from the void.

"To bloom with the brilliance of blood amidst the bitter winter, it can be considered your honor," Xiao Wu smiled and said.
