Chapter 26 Suppressing the Whole Audience

The old man in hemp clothes snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said to the Liu family's elder:

"I know the rules. When I reach a certain level of strength, I will leave sooner or later. But I have only just made a breakthrough. Are you forbidding me to rest at home for a night and leave tomorrow? Hehe! Liu Xincheng, it's you, after all these years, your strength has only improved so little. I am really surprised. Hahahaha! Where is the genius back then? Where is the peerless prodigy back then? Now it seems that you are just so-so, hahaha!"

The words of the old man in sackcloth were full of irony, which made the eldest elder of the Liu family tremble with anger. If he had not been seriously injured at the moment, he would have rushed up to fight with the old man in sackcloth.

At this moment, Liu Huabai seemed to have remembered something. He had only thought that the old man in hemp clothes looked familiar. When he recalled it, his face, which had regained some of its rosy color, suddenly turned pale again. It was not until a long while later that he said in a trembling voice:

"You...you...you...you are Wu Kui, the great elder of the Wu family!"

The faces of the Liu family members changed drastically when they heard the words. Wu Kui, this is a name that strikes fear in the hearts of all the Liu family members. When Wu Kui was young, his strength was not that great, and he was even weaker than some outsiders. But Wu Kui was extremely persevering. Although he was weaker than others, he was barely strong after practicing hard. But just after his strength reached the level of Dou Ling, he suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. No one noticed it at the time. In their opinion, he was just a small Dou Ling and must have died somewhere long ago. But just a few months after his disappearance, the Liu family members suddenly discovered that their number was constantly decreasing, and they all died strangely for no reason. Moreover, the dead were getting stronger and stronger, and some even reached the level of Dou Wang, but they still died for unknown reasons.

It was not until a member of the Liu family accidentally discovered that it was Wu Kui who was killing people that the truth came to light. It turned out that Wu Kui had attacked and killed the Liu family members during the time when Wu Kui disappeared. All the dead Liu family warriors were killed instantly by him, and his own strength had unexpectedly increased from a one-star Dou Ling before his disappearance to a three-star Dou Wang. Moreover, he did not know where he had learned the assassination technique. Even if he encountered a Dou Huang warrior, he could still leave calmly. This made the Liu family members begin to panic. A three-star Dou Wang was not scary, but the scary thing was that he also knew the technique of assassination, which even a Dou Huang warrior would find difficult to deal with. In the end, even the current chief elder of the Liu family was assassinated by him. Although the final result ended in failure, the chief elder's cultivation talent, which was rising in the Liu family's reputation at that time, was destroyed by him, and became a useless person of the Liu family. He once became the biggest laughing stock of the Liu family within a hundred years. This also caused the Liu family to be furious. On the one hand, they sent the real strong men of the Liu family to hunt down Wu Kui, and on the other hand, they found trouble for the Wu family, hoping to save some of the loss. But in the end, it ended in failure. Although the Liu family also told the chief elder at that time that Wu Kui had fallen off the cliff and died, everyone knew that it was just a perfunctory measure.

Sure enough, Wu Kui was not dead. Not only was he not dead, but his strength had even improved. He was even stronger than the Liu family's eldest elder. Liu Huabai saw the loneliness in the eyes of his family members and shouted:

"For the future of my Liu family, charge! Kill all these bastards from the Wu family!"

Before he finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed forward. When everyone saw the clan leader's desperate posture and thought about Xiao Yan who was still in the Liu family mansion, a mad fighting spirit emerged in their hearts. They swung the sharp blade in their hands, and their fighting spirit surged. In an instant, they slashed at everyone in the Wu family. Liu Huabai, the great elder and others rushed towards Wu Bo, the head of the Wu family, and the old man in hemp clothes.

This sudden charge caused the Wu family to be defeated at the beginning, but although the Liu family's fighting spirit had already exploded, and they all had a desperate attitude when they charged, the Wu family had the advantage of large numbers. Not long after, the Liu family was suppressed by the Wu family's human wave tactics. It seemed that it would not be long before the Liu family would be wiped out. But what was surprising was that there was still a place in the field that was being held tightly by the Liu family. No matter how hard the Wu family attacked, they were still repelled by the Liu family. Xiao Yan took a look and found that they were the people brought by Liu Xiang. In order to be able to use the full strength of the family to invite Xiao Yan, Liu Xiang was extremely desperate, which made the Wu family's supreme elder frown slightly after seeing this, and then snorted coldly, and threw the Liu family strongman who was being beaten back to the Wu family man on the side, and moved, and rushed towards Liu Xiang's position.

Xiao Yan in the Liu family mansion sensed the battle outside the Liu family, as well as Wu Kui who was rushing towards Liu Xiang. He sneered and wandered around the Liu family's courtyard, looking at the fish in the pond that were fighting for food. Xiao Yan picked up a stone and smashed it on the head of one of the largest fish. Before the stone even fell, the fish quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, the old man in hemp clothes, Wu Kui, outside the Liu family mansion, paused slightly, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body was instantly soaked in cold sweat. A bone-chilling feeling surged from the depths of his soul, and his figure suddenly retreated dozens of feet before stopping. He bent forward, clasped his fists together, and said with a trembling body:

"I don't know which senior played such a joke on me. I hope you can stand aside and watch. Please wait until I have dealt with the matter before apologizing to you. I would like to thank you in advance."

Wu Kui seemed extremely cautious when he spoke, as if he was afraid of angering the mysterious senior he was talking about. The others were also slightly stunned when they saw Wu Kui's strange behavior. Then all the people in the Liu family turned their heads with excitement and looked towards the Liu Mansion. Xiao Yan's figure did not appear in everyone's sight, but his words floated out from the Liu Mansion. Xiao Yan's words that sounded like a joke made the faces of the entire Wu family change drastically.

"Since you are here to kill me, I will no longer be polite. I have been in a good mood recently and did not want to take action, but you did not let me relax at all. In this case, don't blame me."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he turned slightly and appeared at the gate of Liu Mansion. He looked at Wu Kui without any emotion. That look made Wu Kui's body tremble violently. He quickly descended from the air, trotted to Xiao Yan, bowed to Xiao Yan and said:

"Junior Wu Kui, hello to you, Senior. What happened today was caused by the ignorance of the younger generation of my clan. I have disturbed your rest. I hope you will forgive me. I will tell them to go back now."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and shouted angrily at the Wu family:

"All of you, get the hell out of here! You are a bunch of ignorant people. How dare you disturb the senior's meditation? You all want to die! Get out! Get the hell out of here! Go back to the family quickly. No one is allowed to leave the family for a month, otherwise you will be killed without mercy! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out now! Get out!"

After shouting, Wu Kui turned to look at Xiao Yan, but he saw that Xiao Yan's clear eyes were still calm and he looked at him coldly. His face changed, and when he was about to turn around and continue scolding, Xiao Yan waved his hand and said lightly:

"Alright, you don't have to put on a show with them. Everyone from your Wu family who came here today will surely die. What's more, you want to kill someone I like. You are really brave. So, since you are all here, stay."

Xiao Yan's words were extremely calm, but Wu Kui's face changed instantly. He moved his body and suddenly flashed towards the sky, trying to escape from this world. But how could Xiao Yan, a powerful Half-Emperor, let a small Dou Zun escape from under his nose? He slowly raised his palm, and gently slapped it downwards. With a bang, the body of Wu Kui who was fleeing quickly fell to the ground as if he had been hit hard, and finally hit the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust. When the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone saw Wu Kui lying on the ground covered in blood, without any breath, and streams of blood gushed out from the wounds on his body, dyeing a large area of ​​the ground red.

Everyone was staring at Wu Kui's body in a daze. Even the Wu family members who were rolling on the ground paused for a moment before they began to flee frantically, including the top leaders of the Wu family.

Xiao Yan looked at all the people of the Wu family with indifferent eyes. He raised his hand again and then clenched it tightly. Those members of the Wu family did not even make a scream, but turned into a blood mist in an instant, slowly floating in the air, emitting a strong bloody smell that made people want to nauseate.

All the Liu family members looked at each other in bewilderment. With such means, such a heart, and such ruthless actions, the senior was indeed an extraordinary person. If the Liu family could make friends with him, it would not be difficult to unify the southwest border in the future. As they thought about this, everyone cast admiring glances at Xiao Yan. Some people even knelt down on their knees, waiting for Xiao Yan, the senior, to choose a disciple. However, Xiao Yan took a look and then turned to look at Liu Xiang, nodded slightly, and motioned Liu Xiang to come over. Xiao Yan glanced at Liu Xiang, who was standing in front of him with blood all over his body, and suddenly said:

"You are a pharmacist, right?"

Liu Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he replied to Xiao Yan:

"To answer, Senior, I am an alchemist. Unfortunately, I am inexperienced and have no one to teach me, so my alchemy skills have always remained at the level of a fourth-grade alchemist. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes when he looked at Liu Xiang. He reached into the void with his right hand, and then a scroll appeared in his hand. Xiao Yan threw it to Liu Xiang and then continued:

"This is the life experience of an eighth-grade alchemy master. If you have time, you can study it. It should be helpful for your future growth and progress as an alchemist."

As soon as these words came out, the entire Liu family was shocked. Liu Xiang almost fell down. An eighth-grade alchemy master was at the peak of alchemy skills, but he just casually gave it to someone else. If some low-level alchemists knew about this, they would probably come and give up everything to exchange with Xiao Yan. Liu Xiang was stunned for a long while before he swallowed his saliva. He looked at the scroll in his hand with excitement, bent his knees, and knelt down towards Xiao Yan, saying:

"Thank you for the gift of good fortune, Senior. I am grateful to you. Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

As he was about to kneel down, Xiao Yan waved his sleeves and supported Liu Xiang's body, which was about to kneel down, and said:

"I'm giving you the experience of an eighth-grade alchemy master to help you practice. It's not because I want you to be grateful and kneel down to me, but because I see that you have good character, solid cultivation, and are courageous and capable. As for your desire to take me as your master, you are not qualified enough. To be honest, when I was your age, I was much better than you. If you really want to take me as your master, you should first reach the level of an alchemy master. At the very least, an alchemist of the level of the compiler of this scroll is only worthy of being your apprentice."

After Xiao Yan said this, even Liu Xiang, a fourth-grade alchemist, twitched violently. An eighth-grade alchemy master was only worthy of being a disciple. How powerful must his master be? This was unimaginable.

When Liu Xiang heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, his body trembled violently, he lowered his head slightly, and said no more words.
