Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1207: Annihilation
The heavens and earth bear witness, if Xiao Qihang knew at the time that the Hu Family unexpectedly had such a powerful figure, even given a hundred guts, he would not have dared to provoke them lightly!
But then again, if Hu Ying’er had the current strength back then, wouldn’t she have slapped Xiao Qihang to death long ago, and not sat by as the Hu Family was annihilated?
Only at this moment, Xiao Qihang still does not know that, due to the unfavorable battle, the clan leader who loves him the most is already prepared to push him out as a scapegoat.
"I gave you a chance, you chose not to take it. Now it’s too late!"
However, just as Xiao Zhenting’s words had fallen, from the mouth of the girl opposite came a cold voice, making this Xiao Family Patriarch’s heart sink to rock bottom.
Whoosh!
Hu Ying’er’s jade-like right hand closed, and the lotus flower that had been flying somewhat slowly suddenly increased its speed, causing Xiao Zhenting’s expression to change drastically. But by the time he wanted to make a move, it was already too late.
The lotus, swift as a shooting star, instantly pierced through Xiao Zhenting’s chest, explosively shattering his heart, leaving his figure suddenly rigid with a face full of disbelief.
"I am the Xiao Family Patriarch, you... dare to kill me?"
Perhaps, even at the moment of his death, Xiao Zhenting was somewhat unable to comprehend why he died. It happened so suddenly, so abruptly that he was completely unprepared.
This not only refers to the sudden acceleration of the lotus flower but also the young girl not far ahead, just sixteen or seventeen years old, coming to kill, swiftly dispatching the two Heavenly Rank experts of the Xiao Family. What the hell kind of situation is this?
In fact, from when Xiao Qihang led people to destroy the Hu Family of Ancient Moon City till now, only half a year or so has passed. In Xiao Qihang’s mind, he never considered this a matter requiring attention.
Even figures like Xiao Zhenting and Xiao Changlin, the elders of the Xiao Family, did not know about it beforehand. It was not until Hu Ying’er wiped out several Xiao Family divisions that they discreetly understood, but did not care much.
Yet such a small matter, like a spark setting a prairie ablaze, overturned the entire Xiao clan in just a few months, facing imminent destruction for this dominant family in the Southeast territory of the Tenglong Continent.
"It’s all because of him!"
At the moment of Xiao Zhenting’s death, his gaze finally turned to a certain place, where a Xiao Family genius with an extremely pale face stood—at one time, his most cherished direct great-grandson, nurtured as the next Xiao Family Patriarch.
Bang!
As Xiao Zhenting fell to the ground, he seemed able to foresee the fate of Xiao Qihang and the entire Xiao clan.
That girl named Hu Ying’er appeared gentle and beautiful but was in truth incredibly decisive and ruthless. Since she dared to kill even the Xiao Family Patriarch, how could she possibly spare other Xiao Family members?
"Miss Hu... Miss Hu, it’s all because of Xiao Qihang! We knew nothing of what he did; you can do as you wish with him, and we will not utter a word of complaint!"
Both the clan leader and the Great Elder were dead, the Peak of Earth Bending Realm Second Elder of the Xiao Family stood trembling, with a face of terror and fury, pointing finger at the young genius who led the Xiao Family into a hopeless situation, completely devoid of familial affection.
Upon hearing the Second Elder’s words, Xiao Qihang knew no one could save him today. Aside from regret, his heart was filled with endless hatred, not only towards Hu Ying’er but also towards these Xiao clan members who were dumping him when down.
"He, I will certainly kill, but you Xiao Family members deserve to die as well!"
As the many members of the Xiao Family watched the girl, they heard such a cold voice, their expressions changed drastically, realizing instantly that the girl had no intention to spare any other Xiao Family members.
If the true Hu Ying’er were controlling her mind, perhaps there would be a trace of mercy to spare other Xiao Family members, but alas, this moment belonged to the killing persona; with her disposition, it was absolutely impossible to leave any survivors.
"Everyone, flee for your lives!"
Seeing that the girl had no intention of showing mercy, the Hu Family Second Elder’s face changed dramatically, his loud shout echoing as he was the first to take action, swiftly fleeing towards the periphery.
Seeing this, other Xiao Family members no longer held any hope and scattered and fled at once.
Looking at the direction these Xiao Family members fled, the onlookers in the distance couldn’t help but feel emotional, noting inwardly that as strong as Hu Ying’er was, it was unlikely she could kill all several hundred Xiao Family members.
"I said before, today you Xiao Family members will accompany my Hu Family’s vengeful spirits to the grave!"
Under the watchful eyes of all spectators, Hu Ying’er spoke softly once more, then gently raised her arm, and a stream of light shot into the sky, it was the exquisite lotus flower that had killed the Xiao Family Patriarch Xiao Zhenting earlier.
"Pure Lotus Hundred Kills!"
The low shout reached everyone’s ears, and then they saw Hu Ying’er clasp her right hand, then suddenly open it wide, and next, the lotus flower flying into the sky seemed to sense something, and burst open with a bang.
Yet the energy from the lotus’s explosion did not disperse into the air; like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, the exploded lotus turned into countless petals, dispersing rapidly in all directions.
Puff puff puff...
A series of sounds rang out, and the bodies of the Xiao Family members, who were fleeing in all directions, suddenly stiffened. Then a look of terror appeared in their eyes, and they collapsed to the ground, silent forevermore.
Even the Second Elder of the Xiao Family, who had reached the Peak of the Earth Bending Realm, was struck by one petal of the lotus flower, piercing through his heart and creating a small round hole in the ground.
In just a moment, hundreds of members of the Xiao Family fell, leaving not a single survivor. The terror of the Pure Lotus Hundred Kills was such that the many observing cultivators in the distance dared not even breathe.
It is worth mentioning that among the many bodies of the fallen Xiao Family members, there was one figure that stood out, like a crane among chickens.
This person was the number one genius of the young generation of the Xiao Family, Xiao Qihang, the instigator of the catastrophic disaster that befell the Xiao Family.
Seeing him still standing, the onlookers were not fooled into thinking that Hu Ying’er had shown mercy. They all foresaw the tragic fate awaiting Xiao Qihang.
Killing with a lotus petal may not cause pain, but realizing Hu Ying’er’s deeper intention not to kill him made Xiao Qihang’s body tremble violently in fear.
"No, I must not fall into that bitch’s hands!"
Fortunately, Xiao Qihang retained a sliver of sanity. After his inner voice roared angrily, he raised his hand, and with a surge of Meridian Qi, he viciously aimed to strike his own Heavenly Spirit.
Xiao Qihang knew the inhuman torture waiting if he fell into Hu Ying’er’s hands. At that moment, he suddenly recalled the oath made by Xiao Zhenting, the head of the Xiao Family, and this reinforced his resolve for the strike.
Whoosh!
At that critical moment, just as Xiao Qihang intended to end his life to avoid torture, the sound of something piercing the air suddenly came. A petal of the lotus flower swiftly sliced through, severing his right arm.
"Ah!"
With his arm severed, Xiao Qihang let out a heart-rending scream, and then he saw a graceful figure approach. Her face, beautiful as a painting, now appeared terrifying to him like a demon.
"Do you really want to die so much? Don’t worry, I won’t let you die that easily!"
Hu Ying’er stared at the one who brought doom to the Hu Family. To be honest, there wasn’t a hint of anger in her tone, yet these soft words almost scared Xiao Qihang into fainting.
Swish!
After Hu Yinger’s words fell, her two fingers moved like blades, cutting through Xiao Qihang’s left arm, severing his other hand, leaving the Xiao Family genius writhing in agony.
Such a brutal scene caused the observing cultivators in the distance to shudder slightly. This young girl of only sixteen or seventeen seemed more like a battle-hardened demoness, so skilled at killing and tormenting that she should never be provoked in the future.
"Kill... kill me! Kill me!"
Crawling on the ground, Xiao Qihang endured the excruciating pain from his shoulders and uttered blurry words through a blood-stained mouth, which filled Hu Ying’er with a sense of vengeful pleasure.
"Hmm?"
Yet at that moment, a trace of perplexity flashed in Hu Ying’er’s eyes. The hostility receded like a tide; when she reopened her eyes after closing them for a moment, they were clear and lucid.
"Sister, thank you!"
With her original persona restored, Hu Ying’er softly spoke within her heart, but there was no response, only a sigh of disappointment, like a love that was never reciprocated.
"Kill me!"
On the ground, Xiao Qihang continued rolling, his voice becoming increasingly indistinct. Yet to everyone’s surprise, instead of torturing him further, Hu Ying’er suddenly pointed at Xiao Qihang’s throat.
The scream of pain abruptly stopped, leaving the onlookers puzzled. Based on Hu Ying’er’s earlier state, it seemed she wouldn’t let Xiao Qihang die so easily. They thought she might torture him for seven days and nights.
"If Brother Yun Xiao were here, he surely wouldn’t want to see me become like this, right?"
Hu Ying’er ignored the thoughts of others; in her mind appeared a somewhat blurred figure. He, in those days, saw her as a sweet, kind-hearted girl!
That encounter with the boy changed Hu Ying’er’s fate.
She was aware of her double-sided personality, the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, but wanted to show him only her kind side. Sadly, years had passed since their separation.
