Chapter 174: The Life-Slaughter Demon Lord (14)
The newcomer was none other than the second sibling of the Xiao Family—Xiao Lingxue.
Xiao Lingxue had displayed exceptional talent from a young age, triggering heavenly phenomena that drew the attention of a Supreme Elder from the Misty Sacred Palace who happened to be passing by. She was taken in as a disciple and her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. She had achieved an impressive ranking in the Myriad Races Heavenly Genius Grand Competition. With Xiao Sha's help, she had even awakened a legendary divine body. In just six hundred years of cultivation, she had broken through to the Nirvana realm. She was truly a favored daughter of heaven.
When the Xiao Family faced impending disaster, Xiao Lingxue had sent the most talented younger disciples into the Misty Sacred Palace. Her duty was to preserve the final bloodline of the Xiao Family… Yet in the end, she could not bear to sit idly by while her family was destroyed and her brothers and sisters were slaughtered. She left the Misty Sacred Palace alone and returned to the Xiao Family.
She had arrived just in time to witness this scene.
Xiao Lingxue burned with fury. She recognized Su Chen as Sha Shengzi—a genius who had gained some fame during the Myriad Races Heavenly Genius Grand Competition. He was nothing more than a dog at her fourth brother's side, yet he now dared to lead an attack on her Xiao Family!
Su Chen naturally recognized Xiao Lingxue as well. She had displayed considerable strength in the grand competition and had clearly undergone some fortuitous transformation since then.
Xiao Lingxue demanded, "Sha Shengzi, release my father at once!"
Beneath his mask, Su Chen let out a contemptuous, disdainful laugh. He knew Xiao Lingxue looked down on him, but he did not care. He lifted the Xiao Patriarch and exerted a gentle force with his hand.
A violent storm of origin energy erupted. Before Xiao Lingxue's eyes, her father did not even have time to scream before he turned into a mist of blood.
