Chapter 72: Even the Xiao Clan Leader Can't Stop Me
"??"
Yao Tian froze briefly, then his fury surged even stronger.
"How can someone be so shameless in this world??"
"So you admit what you did to my sister?" Yao Tian's expression turned dark, his voice carrying the force of a brewing storm.
"What did I do? We're genuinely in love!" Xiao Yan replied with a serious face.
"Scoundrel!" Yao Tian's patience finally snapped, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, shaking the space around them.
"What do you think you're doing?" Xiao Wu snorted coldly, stepping in front of Xiao Yan. Yao Tian's earth shattering aura didn't even ripple against Xiao Yan.
"What am I doing? You dared to bully my sister! Even if you're the Holy Son of the Xiao Clan, you'll pay the price!" Yao Tian roared as he launched his hand directly toward Xiao Yan.
"How dare you!" Xiao Wu intercepted with a palm strike. The two attacks collided midair, unleashing a force strong enough to shatter mountains and split the earth.
"Boom!" A visible shockwave rippled through the area, creating fissures in the ground for a thousand meters around.
"This is bad, young master, run! This guy's tough!" Xiao Wu gritted his teeth as his face darkened.
The clash had revealed Yao Tian's overwhelming strength. As the heir to the Yao Clan, Yao Tian was indeed extraordinary. Despite his youth, he had already reached the high tier Half Saint level.
"Old Wu, what about you?" Xiao Yan asked, worried.
"Don't worry about me. He won't dare kill me since I'm from the Xiao Clan, but you've pushed him too far and might suffer for it," Xiao Wu replied, struggling to hold the line.
"You're not wrong! Xiao Yan, today I'll break all three of your legs and make you kneel before my sister to apologize!" Yao Tian sneered coldly.
"All three legs?!" Xiao Yan's expression shifted drastically.
"We're family now why so cruel?"
"Family? How do you even have the gall to say that?" Yao Tian growled, his rage intensifying.
"You're my future child's uncle! Doesn't that make us family? How can you let your nephew be born without a father? Aren't you worried that he'll grow up and chop you with an axe?"
Xiao Yan kept talking while simultaneously retreating as fast as possible.
"Scoundrel! I'll kill you!" Yao Tian's fury reached new heights. The mere thought of his sister's predicament and Xiao Yan's shamelessness fueled his icy wrath.
"Run, young master!" Xiao Wu shouted, barely holding his ground.
"You won't escape!" Yao Tian roared, his attacks becoming even more ferocious. Their battle turned the surrounding area into a wasteland, mountains collapsing and the ground splitting apart.
Despite the chaos, neither combatant damaged the energy shield containing the black mist.
After another exchange, Xiao Wu was sent stumbling backward, blood trickling from his mouth.
High in the sky, Yao Tian's hands formed seals, summoning a brown flame that blazed with terrifying power.
It was the Tortoise Spirit Earth Flame, ranked 13th on the Heavenly Flames List!
In an instant, the flame coalesced into a massive brown cauldron, spanning hundreds of meters in diameter.
"Old man, you can't stop me!" Yao Tian roared as he unleashed the cauldron toward Xiao Wu.
"Heaven Tier Middle Rank Dou Skill: Burning Heaven Divine Cauldron!"
The cauldron's descent seemed slow, but it locked the surrounding space, restricting Xiao Wu's movements to a crawl.
"Damn it! He's using a Heaven Tier Middle Rank skill!" Xiao Wu's face turned pale.
Moments later, the massive cauldron landed, sealing Xiao Wu within.
As the heir to the Yao Clan, Yao Tian's possession of such a powerful skill was unsurprising. Xiao Wu, despite being a Half Saint of the Xiao Clan, didn't hold a particularly high status and only had access to a few lower ranked Heaven Tier skills.
Moreover, Yao Tian's cultivation surpassed Xiao Wu's. If Yao Tian had intended to kill, Xiao Wu might not have survived.
"Old Wu's been sealed!" Xiao Yan exclaimed, his wings of Dou Qi flapping furiously as he fled even faster.
But no matter how quick a Dou Huang was, they couldn't outpace a Half Saint.
In just two breaths, the space around Xiao Yan began to freeze, and Yao Tian appeared directly before him.
"Brother in law, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?" Xiao Yan forced a smile while frantically devising a plan.
Breaking two legs was manageable.
Breaking the third leg? That was a psychological scar he couldn't bear.
"Don't call me brother in law!" Yao Tian growled through gritted teeth, his eyes cold enough to freeze the air.
If Xiao Yan weren't from the Xiao Clan, Yao Tian would have obliterated him without hesitation.
Looking at Yao Tian's murderous gaze, Xiao Yan mustered a bright smile.
"Alright then… Brother!"
"You " Yao Tian trembled with rage, his usual composure shattered by Xiao Yan's infuriating audacity.
"How dare you bully my sister! Even if the Xiao Clan Leader himself comes, it won't save you today. You'll pay for what you've done!" Yao Tian's fury reached its peak.
In his palm, the Tortoise Spirit Earth Flame formed into a long, fiery whip.
"Today, I'll teach you the Yao Clan's punishment by the lash!" he roared, the fiery whip snapping toward Xiao Yan.
"Hit my face if you must, but leave my legs alone! I just got my dual cultivation manual and haven't even had a chance to fully test it!" Xiao Yan wailed, closing his eyes in despair.
Yet the anticipated strike never landed.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a figure clad in a purple gold robe standing before him, shielding him.
At that moment, Xiao Yan felt an overwhelming sense of security. The figure seemed larger than life, exuding an aura of invincibility.
"Young man, do you have some business with me?" The man's calm, deep voice rang out as he gripped Yao Tian's wrist firmly, his expression serene.
"Who… are you?" Yao Tian stammered, his eyes widening in shock.
No matter how much he tried to channel his Dou Qi, it wouldn't respond.
The man before him looked young and handsome, yet his eyes carried the weight of countless years. Standing before him felt like standing before an endless ocean vast, boundless, and unfathomable.
The depth of his aura surpassed even that of Yao Dan, the strongest in the Yao Clan.
"You just said, 'Even if I came, it wouldn't matter,' didn't you?" the man said with a faint smile.
Yao Tian's pupils shrank to pinpoints.
"Y You're the Xiao Clan Leader?!"
