Chapter 137 One Finger, One Ancient Clan Prodigy

"Who!?"

Over a dozen black-clad men simultaneously turned their heads, looking in the direction of the voice.

Their eyes fell upon Chu Xiao, Xun Er, Medusa, and Qing Lin—four individuals, the men handsome and the women beautiful, possessing extraordinary Aura, making them exceptionally eye-catching.

Xun Er and Qing Lin, limited by their age, were still just beautiful young women with outstanding Aura, while Medusa, this beautiful snake, was stunningly aggressive and attractive, instinctively drawing the attention of men.

The four stood on a massive rock, looking down from above.

"Cousin," Xiao Yan said, a look of pleasant surprise on his face.

With Cousin here, these people were no longer fit to be so arrogant.

Though the Xiao Family had declined, it was not for your Ancient Clan to lightly insult.

"Chu Xiao!"

The leading man's pupils constricted, his gaze lingering on Medusa for a few breaths, then on Xun Er for a few breaths, before finally settling on Chu Xiao.

A few months prior, news had spread within the Clan that the Clan Chief's Young Miss had grown up in the declining Xiao Family and had even fallen for an outsider named Chu Xiao.

Immediately, people began investigating. Chu Xiao's portrait and information quickly spread throughout the Clan. Everyone's evaluation of him was that he was merely good-looking, relying on his face to deceive the young and naive Young Miss Xun Er.

"Ling Quan, we meet again."

"In my previous life, our first meeting was three years later at Canaan Academy. You had already stepped one foot into the Dou Zong Realm and were the Deputy Commander of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army."

"With only Dou Ling Realm strength, I was ridiculed and mocked by you. Although my trump cards could kill you, I couldn't use them. But the second time we met, you were easily suppressed by me, even though you were already a Four-star Dou Zong."

"This time, my Realm is still the same as in my previous life, but you are pitifully weak. "

Pitiful?

Indeed, pitiful.

The women silently mourned for a second for the man named Ling Quan.

In the previous life, Ling Quan could still rely on the strength brought by his Bloodline and resources to mock and ridicule Chu Xiao, who was only at the Dou Ling Realm.

But in this life, Chu Xiao had undergone Rebirth as the Heavenly Emperor. Although Ling Quan's Realm was two major stages higher than Chu Xiao's, the outcome...

"Ling Quan, Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army's Sixth Squad, greets Young Miss Xun Er." Ling Quan did not respond to Chu Xiao's earlier words. Instead, he approached Xun Er, cupped his fists, and bowed: "By the Clan Chief's command, I have come to escort you back to the Family."

Brother Chu Xiao really knew him.

Ling Quan, not even bearing the surname Gu, was an ethnic commoner.

"Hmm." Xun Er nodded with a cold expression.

Then she turned to look at Chu Xiao, a smile blooming on her face: "Brother Chu Xiao, Xun Er will wait for you in the Central Plains."

"Hmm, go. I will come to the Ancient Clan to find you before your Bloodline Awakening ceremony," Chu Xiao said with a gentle smile, reaching out to stroke Xun Er's head.

Xun Er did not dodge, her smile widening: "I believe Brother Chu Xiao. You will see an even more formidable Xun Er then."

This scene pricked the nerves of the Black Annihilation Army members, especially Ling Quan, who had intended to ignore Chu Xiao to show his arrogance. Now, he couldn't help but speak: "A frog at the bottom of a well, seeing only the sky above."

"The Xiao Clan, once so powerful, can now only cower in this remote corner of the Northwest Continent. Now, there isn't even a single Dou Wang, whereas any member of my Clan's Black Annihilation Army can sweep through them."

"You, an outsider with the Xiao Clan's discarded Bloodline, dare to boast about going to the Ancient Clan? How ridiculous."

"Ridiculous?" Xun Er suddenly turned her head, speaking before Chu Xiao could: "Commander Ling Quan, mind your words. If you weren't born in the Ancient Clan, you might not even be qualified to speak to Brother Chu Xiao like that."

Chu Xiao's lips curled slightly as he recorded this scene in his notebook.

"The feeling of being protected and defended by my wife is wonderful."

All the women: "…"

It felt like they hadn't eaten anything today, but were suddenly full.

"It is indeed quite ridiculous," Chu Xiao followed up, "The Xiao Clan was once the head of the Eight Emperor Clans, yet now it has declined to this extent."

"If I were you, I would take heed and prevent the Ancient Clan from becoming the second Xiao Clan, rather than being smug and self-important just because your Bloodline hasn't withered yet."

Ling Quan's face turned ashen from their words, and he laughed in extreme anger: "Without talking about Family and Bloodline, the Dou Qi Continent values the strong. Do you, a mere Dou Ling Realm, even qualify to lecture this Commander?"

"You can't even defeat this Commander's Demonic Beast."

Roar!

The Horned Winged Lion Beast beneath Ling Quan cooperated, letting out a roar that carried the pressure of a Dou Wang.

Chu Xiao's eyes narrowed. Ignoring the pressure, he took a step forward and casually waved his hand, releasing the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and the Golden Scaled Luan Bird.

Their injuries had all fully recovered under the treatment of the Thunderous Imperial Flame.

"Master." The three Demonic Beasts obediently prostrated themselves before Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao nodded slightly, looking at Ling Quan and speaking calmly: "Your words, I return to you exactly as they were spoken. You can't even defeat this Lord's Demonic Beast."

"Boy, do you want to fight!?" The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast looked at Ling Quan, its Aura rising.

It really wanted to prove its worth now.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and the Golden Scaled Luan Bird also locked onto Ling Quan's Qi.

"Choose one?" Chu Xiao said calmly: "Or, as an Ancient Clan Prodigy, are you willing to fight one against two, or three?"

Ling Quan was the one who first mentioned using Demonic Beasts, so it wasn't him bullying others.

Ling Quan: "…"

"True power doesn't rely on external forces." Ling Quan spoke, forcing himself: "You merely rely on means to control three Rank 6 Demonic Beasts to act fierce. If we fight personally, this Commander can suppress you with just one hand."

"Ling Quan is as stubborn as Cai Lin."

Cai Lin: "…"

Xun Er: Must not laugh!

"Good!" Chu Xiao raised his hand and clapped: "That's a good suggestion."

Suggestion?

Ling Quan was slightly stunned, then felt his eyes blur as Chu Xiao instantly teleported from dozens of feet away to stand before him.

"As you wish."

Thunderous Imperial Flame blessing.

Realm surged to a One-star Dou Huang.

Jade Thunder Body blessing, Soul Power blessing.

"Falling Thunder Finger!"

Boom.

The sky thundered.

A black-purple lightning appeared on Chu Xiao's finger, instantly pointing towards Ling Quan.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing Chu Xiao dare to attack him, Ling Quan roared in anger.

Lightning appeared on his body, transforming into the shape of a lightning Dragon.

This was the Fighting Skill he had recently been Cultivating, Thunder Snake Dance.

It could advance by transforming into a giant lightning Dragon to attack opponents, or retreat by having lightning wrap around the body, moving like a snake as a movement Fighting Skill, and could also form a defensive barrier with lightning.

"Chu Xiao, let me show you the might of the Ancient Clan."

"Sea Flipping Seal!"

Ling Quan mobilized the energy of heaven and earth and his own Dou Qi to gather in his hand, forming a giant azure hand seal.

Chu Xiao maintained the pointing motion. The lightning on his finger was like a long spear, colliding with the giant hand seal.

"Boom!"

Violent energy clashed, transforming into a whirlwind that vented, the shockwave subtly pulling at the surrounding space.

Hiss.

Everyone began to retreat rapidly.

Boom!

Ling Quan advanced instead of retreating, his expression cold and arrogant: "Chu Xiao, though you possess a secret technique to boost your strength, it is but a minor Dao."

"To make this Commander use the Sea Flipping Seal, you are enough…"

Ling Quan did not finish his sentence.

Only because the giant azure energy palm was suddenly pierced through, and Chu Xiao flashed before him like a bolt of lightning.

Flames gradually emerged from the lightning on his finger, pointing towards his chest.

"Bang!"

Ling Quan turned into an afterimage and flew backward, crashing into a cliff a hundred feet away.

The hundreds of feet tall mountain instantly shattered under the immense impact, completely collapsing.

A Sword Intent emerged from Chu Xiao's body, transforming into a whirlwind that dispersed the dust.

He stood with his hands behind his back before Ling Quan, who was spitting blood, and pointed his finger, saying: "Is this how you suppress with one hand?"

Pfft!

Ling Quan was so enraged that his Qi and blood surged, and he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes still filled with deep disbelief.

He was definitely not a useless person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight his way out from among hundreds of millions of commoners and become a Deputy Commander of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army.

Yet Chu Xiao, a Seven-star Dou Ling Realm, actually defeated him with just one move!?

"If not for Xun Er, you would already be dead."

Calmly stating a fact, Chu Xiao suddenly looked up and said indifferently, "Still the same question as before: if the Ancient Clan sends such mediocre individuals to pick up Xun Er, I think it's better for her to stay by my side."

Rip.

A tear suddenly appeared in space.

A figure emerged from it, wearing robes identical to Ling Quan's. His Aura stirred the Void Realm as he spoke coldly: "Chu Xiao, you are quite good among ordinary Geniuses. Traveling to the Central Plains is no problem, but before my Ancient Clan…"

"You are too arrogant."

Chu Xiao's eyes narrowed as he activated the Tian Yan Art.

Yang Qian, twenty-four years old, Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army's Sixth Squad, Half-step Dou Zong!

This person's age and strength were quite similar to Ling Quan's a few years later.

If he didn't perish midway, he had the potential to become the Sixth Commander.

As for Ling Quan, he would be the Seventh Commander of the Black Annihilation Army in the future.

"Peak Dou Huang, Half-step Dou Zong,"

Chu Xiao smiled and raised his finger.

"You come and take one finger from me!"

Boom!

In the sky, the already gathering clouds suddenly began to churn, and a massive finger, entirely condensed from lightning, rapidly descended.

Yang Qian: ?

"Earth Covering Seal!"

Yang Qian let out a low cry.

He used the Earth Covering Seal, which was even more powerful than the Sea Flipping Seal.

Chu Xiao, however, remained unhurried. With a thought, he released the Thunderous Imperial Flame.

"Thunderous Imperial Flame Incinerating Sky Finger!"

Everyone.
