CHAPTER 594: FIVE HUNDRED NINETY-FOUR, CAN’T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!

Swoosh!

A whistling sound arose, and immediately after, a cultivator at the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm from the Song Family showed an incredulous expression, and then, there appeared a line of blood around his neck.

Boom!

A round head shot up high while blood gushed out of the neck stump like a fountain, looking extremely terrifying and bloody.

It should be noted that just recently, powerhouses like Song Hao and Yan Chun at the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm were the ones closest to Yun Xiao. Yet unexpectedly, with an incredibly swift speed, Yun Xiao had decapitated a member of the Song Family Clan.

Seeing this scene, many onlooking cultivators at the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm felt a chill on their necks because Yun Xiao’s strike was too fast. It made them realize that if they were to face him, their fate might not be much better than that of the Song Family Clan member.

Under such a fierce siege, yet still killing effortlessly like a ghost, today everyone finally understood how exactly the Wang and Guan families had been annihilated.

It seems like the Song Family’s attempt to exhaust Yun Xiao with a war of attrition would probably end up with their own Spirit Vein Realm cultivators, whether at the early, middle, or even the late stages, being exhausted first.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

A series of black flashes occurred, and once again, several Song Family cultivators at the early and middle stages of the Spirit Vein Realm had their heads severed. That worn-out wooden sword was like a divine weapon; no one could withstand its slash.

"Yun Xiao, have the guts to fight me head-on!"

Seeing this slippery youth, every time he himself made a strike, Yun Xiao had already vanished, which nearly made the Song Family head, Song Hao, explode with rage, leading him to bellow aloud.

Of course, Song Hao would be furious, because if Yun Xiao continued to kill like this, the entire Song Family would be left with nothing but him, an alone Family Head. What meaning would that hold?

As for the onlookers, upon hearing Song Hao’s loud shout, they couldn’t help but show a slight disdainful look, secretly thinking you must be senile, expecting Yun Xiao to fight you head-on at this time?

"Ha ha, Song Hao, Family Head, I have already said that if you choose to end it yourself, I would spare these Song Family members. You can’t blame me for being ruthless, it’s all because of your own hesitance!"

After Yun Xiao lightly waved his right hand and cut off the throat of a cultivator at the middle stage of the Spirit Vein Realm from the Song Family, he took the opportunity to turn around and chuckle. Hearing this proposal again, the Song Family members’ mindset had already begun to shift slightly.

This Jade Pot Sect youth’s speed was too fast, and that wooden sword in his hand was too sharp. Apart from the powerhouses at the late stage of the Spirit Vein Realm who could barely dodge a strike or two, the Song Family members at the middle and early stages of the Spirit Vein Realm were practically touch-and-die, with no chance of resistance.

Yun Xiao seemed to have eyes on his back, never engaging directly whenever those Spirit Vein Realm peak powerhouses appeared. Depending on his bizarre speed to dodge, he took the opportunity to slaughter Song Family members.

The normally high and mighty Song Family cultivators at the early and middle stages of the Spirit Vein Realm appeared like chickens and dogs in Yun Xiao’s hands, utterly vulnerable.

Every sword light that fell claimed the life of a Song Family Spirit Vein Realm member; Yun Xiao’s Dragon Taming Sword never missed its mark, and in the blink of an eye, nearly twenty Song Family members had died.

"Family Head, we can’t hold on much longer!"

At this moment, a powerhouse at the late stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, drenched in sweat after dodging Yun Xiao’s formidable slash, finally couldn’t help but shout out.

Although the words were not explicit, Song Hao heard a deeper message in them while the resentment towards Yun Xiao grew to an unparalleled height.

It seems Yun Xiao’s words had taken root in these Song Family members’ hearts after so many had died, they couldn’t restrain themselves anymore.

If Song Hao could really hold Yun Xiao off, preventing him from massively slaughtering, then perhaps these Song Family members might persist a bit longer.

But now, a clan leader who couldn’t protect his people, and who could even be said to have caused their deaths, who wouldn’t harbor resentment?

The trap that Yun Xiao initially set had finally taken effect, just as he said, only if the Song Family head, Song Hao, ended it himself, might it save the entire Song Family.

Looking at this, the Song Family’s cooperation with the Royal Family’s Xuantie Army here was simply a huge joke. At such a speed, Yun Xiao could choose whom to battle, while Song Hao and Yan Chun could only watch helplessly.

This was something that no one had anticipated. Everyone thought that this must be how the Guan and Wang families had been exterminated by Yun Xiao. Now, Yun Xiao had finally reached the pinnacle of the Hidden Dragon Continent, overlooking all living beings.

Crack!

Another light sound followed, and this time, the head that flew up belonged to a Song Family Elder at the late stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, as those at the middle and early stages had distanced themselves far away, over a hundred feet. Even with Yun Xiao’s speed, he wouldn’t be able to kill them in an instant.

Yet, being at the same late stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, Yun Xiao, wielding the Dragon Taming Sword, meant that those Song Family Elders at the late stage of the Meridian Union Realm could merely persist for a breath or two longer, ultimately, their fates were no different.

"How so? Family Head Song, are you still refusing to see reason?"

Yun Xiao waved the wooden sword in his hand and while his voice could be heard, his figure subtly shifted, arriving in front of the Great Elder of the Song Family.

And this Great Elder of the Song Family was also a formidable cultivator who had reached the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm. After all, they were one of the top three families in the Imperial City. Indeed, they had one or two more cultivators at this peak level than the Wang Family.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing Yun Xiao targeting the Great Elder of the Song Family this time, a glint of sharp light flashed in Song Hao’s eyes. Yet, at this moment, he relaxed, believing that Yun Xiao could not possibly replicate the feat of slaying someone with a single sword strike like earlier.

Song Hao thought that as long as the Great Elder could hold Yun Xiao for a few moments, he and others like Yan Chun and Mo Li could encircle him. Then, with the collective strength of several peak Spirit Vein Realm experts, they could definitely kill Yun Xiao here.

In Song Hao’s view, the reason Yun Xiao only targeted the low-rank cultivators from the Song Family was probably out of caution towards facing a peak Spirit Vein Realm powerhouse like himself in direct combat.

Indeed, the Great Elder of the Song Family was not someone these low-rank Song Family members could compare with. Seeing Yun Xiao slashing with his sword, the elder subtly shifted his form and managed to evade the blade, which had drunk the blood of many Song Family members.

Moreover, the Great Elder’s response was extremely quick. After dodging the strike, his other hand hidden behind his back suddenly stretched out, striking toward Yun Xiao’s abdomen.

This move was faster than expected, causing the onlookers to exclaim. The abdomen is where the Dantian is located and being hit there with force could completely cripple one’s cultivation.

However, what the spectators did not see was the fleeting look of mockery in Yun Xiao’s eyes when the Great Elder made his move.

Whoosh!

A streak of cold light appeared above Yun Xiao’s abdomen, and soon, the Great Elder felt an extreme force of icy cold power, causing a flash of realization in his mind as his expression drastically changed.

"Damn, how could I have forgotten about this?"

It seems the Great Elder realized what the rising cold light from Yun Xiao’s abdomen was too late.

"Even being the Great Elder of the Song Family, how could you forget?"

Since it had come to this, Yun Xiao let out a light chuckle, and then, that cold gleam blasted onto the body of the Great Elder. In an instant, icy cold fragments splattered everywhere.

What Yun Xiao had executed was the Meridian Spirit of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, which had previously frozen Fu Du into an ice sculpture. The reason he mentioned that the Great Elder had not learned his lesson was because he had already used this tactic on Fu Du.

Regrettably, with Yun Xiao’s subsequent display of divine prowess, continuously slaying Song Family members with his wooden sword, the Great Elder was only focused on avoiding the sword and had forgotten that the young man in front of him had more than just the sword-slashing technique.

Even a mere Ice Cold Qi could turn Fu Du into an ice sculpture. When the actual body of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad’s Meridian Spirit touched the Great Elder, whose strength was not much stronger than Fu Du’s, he inevitably met the same fate as Fu Du.

Another vivid ice sculpture emerged, which left Song Hao, the Family Head of the Song Family, who was still several meters away from Yun Xiao, unable to believe his eyes and utterly shocked.

"Next, Second Elder of the Song Family!"

Yun Xiao, unencumbered by many thoughts, swiftly finished off the Great Elder and his gaze shifted to another elderly figure.

The Second Elder of the Song Family was also a cultivator who had reached the Peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, but he had only just broken through less than a year ago, and his power was much weaker than that of the Great Elder.

Witnessing the death of the Great Elder, and hearing the emotionless, chilling words from Yun Xiao, the Second Elder was absolutely terrified.

Swoosh!

Thus, a very peculiar scene unfolded— a peak Spirit Vein Realm Second Elder of the Song Family, under the mere intimidating gaze of a late-stage Spirit Vein Realm youth, hurriedly fled like a dog that had lost its home.

But at that moment, with Yun Xiao effortlessly dealing with the Great Elder, no one thought any less of the Second Elder’s actions—after all, everyone cherishes their life.

Whoosh!

However, just as the Second Elder got a few steps away, the gray-clad youth extended his right hand, his middle finger tightly pressing against his thumb, flicked his fingers, and a blood-red flame rapidly appeared behind the Second Elder.

Caught off guard at first by the Second Elder’s actions, Yun Xiao found that this actually saved him quite a bit of effort.

For instance, now, under the pursuit of the Ancestral Vein Fire, the Second Elder, desperate to escape, didn’t even attempt to dodge.
