Chapter 173: The Killing Demon Lord (Thirteen)

Outside the main hall of the Xiao Clan's Imperial Palace
A group of powerful figures wearing ghost-face masks were wreaking havoc within the palace.
The tall figure leading them, clad in a dark purple cloak, was none other than Su Chen. Leading the members of the Killing Hall, he was carrying out a bloodbath against the entire Xiao Clan. Su Chen had no desire to harm the lower ranks of the Xiao Dynasty; his gaze was fixed on a palace ahead—that was his target.
Boom!
A murderous aura erupted, wielding a black halberd, and with a single stroke, a killing move was unleashed.
“An ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating your own strength.”
Su Chen chuckled, his figure flashing. Before Xiao Tianze's horrified gaze, one hand gripped Xiao Tianze's face. A purplish-black aura rose from Su Chen's body, making him appear like a demon lord descending upon the mortal realm.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yueli, who hadn't gone far, cried out in anguish, "Big Brother!"
Xiao Jin pulled Xiao Yueli back, who was trying to turn back, suppressing his own grief, and said, "Little Sister, don't go over there! You're no match for him. We must take Father away; we can't let Big Brother die in vain!"
Xiao Yueli's cry attracted Su Chen's attention.
"Trying to escape? How naive!"
Su Chen's gaze was icy.
Xiao Tianze clung tightly to Su Chen's body, a black dragon suddenly erupting from within him—his murderous aura from years of battle: "Damn it... I won't let you hurt Third Brother and Little Sister!"
Xiao Tianze attempted to self-destruct, trying to slow Su Chen down.
When he looked up,
those eyes that could annihilate stars seemed to hold disappointment...
Xiao Tianze lost consciousness, his body exploding.
He didn't understand why that figure held such disappointment.
"Too weak. Even with his ultimate power, this is all he has."
Su Chen was disappointed.
Xiao Tianze, the invincible general of the Xiao Dynasty, was simply too weak. Even with his ultimate power and the killing of Xiao Tianze, Su Chen only sensed a tiny wisp of killing intent, far from enough to condense the Killing God Demon Embryo.
Su Chen calmly glanced in the direction Xiao Jin and Xiao Yueli had left. He had a premonition that Xiao Sha's brothers and sisters might bring him a pleasant surprise.
Su Chen waved his hand, signaling the members of the Killing Hall behind him to continue the massacre of the Xiao imperial family. The Xiao imperial palace was filled with the stench of blood, the clash of swords, and the flames, just like the scene when Su Chen first opened his eyes more than six hundred years ago, when the Lu family appeared.
Xiao Sha, transformed into the Unborn Prince, prematurely extinguished too many geniuses. Families like the Lu family were not the only ones. If Xiao Sha hadn't died, the Xiao family would have prospered; with Xiao Sha gone, the Lu family of the past would have met the same fate as the Xiao family of today.
The only difference is...
Su Chen won't give the Xiao family any chance, he won't leave a single survivor!
"Damn it... how could they catch up so quickly!"
Xiao Jin's face was extremely grim.
Xiao Jin said to Xiao Yueli, "Little sister, I'll hold him off. You quickly take Father and leave this place. Whatever you do, don't look back!"
Xiao Yueli was blasted away by Xiao Jin's aura.
"Third brother!"
Xiao Yueli cried, tears streaming down her face, and amidst Xiao Jin's furious roar, she painfully left.
"What a touching display of sibling affection."
Su Chen watched Xiao Yueli leave without attempting to stop her. His gaze fell on Xiao Jin, sending chills down Xiao Jin's spine. In Xiao Jin's eyes, he saw something terrifying slowly gathering.
Xiao Jin, suppressing his fear, asked, "Who are you? Why are you attacking my Xiao family? Aren't you afraid my fourth brother will emerge from seclusion and seek revenge?"
Su Chen narrowed his eyes, his words causing Xiao Jin to freeze.
"You want to buy time? To give your foolish sister a chance to escape?"
Su Chen looked at the terrified Xiao Jin, unconcerned. "Today, no one from your Xiao family will escape. As for your fourth brother, Xiao Sha, I think you, who control the entire Xiao Dynasty's fate, know he's already dead. After you die, if Xiao Sha is willing to wait for you for a hundred years, perhaps you'll see him on the Bridge of Helplessness."
Having Xiao Sha's death confirmed by his own words, Xiao Jin trembled, his eyes turning red, an overwhelming surge of anger and sorrow welling up inside him.
"I'm going to...kill you!"
Xiao Jin's aura surged, frantically burning his talent and lifespan. In just a few breaths, his once youthful appearance aged drastically, his withered hands lunging towards Su Chen.
Su Chen severed Xiao Jin's hands, then killed him with a single blow.
Feeling the killing intent within him solidify further, he was one step closer to cultivating the Killing God Demon Embryo.
"Truly worthy of being Xiao Sha's brother. One man is worth thousands upon thousands of martial artists. Even killing a Divine Body prodigy doesn't provide as much nourishment of killing intent as a brother can provide."
Su Chen was still unsatisfied.
If Xiao Sha had a dozen or so brothers, perhaps he could have forged the Killing God Demon Embryo today.
Unfortunately, Xiao Sha only had four siblings.
Feeling Xiao Jin's aura vanish, Xiao Yueli was heartbroken and went to the place where her father had gone into seclusion.
"Who on earth dared to attack my Xiao royal family?"
Father Xiao emerged from seclusion, his inner energy surging like a raging river. At a crucial moment, he had broken through to the Nirvana Realm.
Seeing the devastation wrought upon the entire Xiao Dynasty, Father Xiao was consumed by rage and charged directly towards Su Chen's location.
Xiao Yue Li was shocked and cried out, "Father... come back quickly..."
Unfortunately, it was too late. She only heard Father Xiao roar, "Yueli, rest assured, your father will slay the enemy!"
Xiao Yue Li's face was filled with despair.
Even if Father had broken through to the Nirvana Realm, what good was it?
Her eldest and third brothers were already dead at the hands of that terrifying demonic figure.
"No... I must live!"
A powerful will to survive suddenly surged within Xiao Yue Li. She knew she couldn't die here.
Suppressing her grief, Xiao Yue Li continued her escape.
Su Chen, facing the approaching middle-aged man in a yellow robe, looked on with interest.
He knew this must be Xiao Sha's father. The remaining fortune had actually allowed Xiao's father to break through to the Nirvana Realm amidst the crisis... Unfortunately, the Nirvana Realm was far from enough to resolve the Xiao family's crisis.
Xiao's father was furious.
But only for a moment.
He calmed down.
Su Chen's eyes were cold.
With one hand, he lifted Xiao's father up as easily as picking up a chick.
The joy of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm was like ice water poured over his head.
"What a piece of trash."
Su Chen noticed that the killing intent he sensed from Xiao's father was very faint.
Just as Su Chen was about to crush Xiao's father,
frost suddenly condensed in the air.
Within the ethereal clouds, a woman in a dark blue robe stood barefoot, treading on the void, ripples forming ice steps.
"You murderous son, you're courting death!"
The woman's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent, her killing intent soaring to the heavens.
Su Chen turned to look.
"Finally, an interesting character has arrived."
His Demonic Child of Slaughter had found a home!
