Her body descended swiftly, and her speed in flying away was even faster. Like a cannonball, she shot towards the sky. Lin Xiao's fist was raised, and around him, all the people who had lunged at him had fallen to the ground.
Without exception, every single one of them had been rendered unconscious in that very instant.
A duel between Grandmasters was not something these individuals could interfere with.
That they were still alive was thanks to Lin Xiao not being one to take lives readily.
Lin Xiao raised his head, watching the fiery red figure trace an arc in the air. His eyes narrowed, and he stomped on the ground. The earth in this area cracked, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Nangong Huowu in the sky.
Less than two seconds later, Nangong Huowu’s body slammed heavily from the air onto the spot where Lin Xiao had just stood. A massive crater appeared in the ground, and within it lay the unconscious Nangong Huowu.
"The people of the Nangong family still seem to be a little lacking," Lin Xiao said, dusting off his hands. De Ye Chen and his group, who had been ready to clean up, immediately scurried out.
Ye Chen looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of reverence! This was the Dragon King he admired! Only the Dragon King possessed such unparalleled might!
One force could overcome ten techniques; in front of Lin Xiao, all these people's schemes and so-called skills were insignificant.
"I held back a little when I struck. Her internal organs should be protected by her true qi and remain intact. However, all the bones in her body are likely shattered," Lin Xiao said, looking at Nangong Huowu, who lay in the deep pit, on the verge of death. "Search her for any useful information. If there's nothing, kill her."
"Understood."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ye Chen nodded quickly.
The fact that Nangong Huowu still had a breath left was solely for Lin Xiao to extract some information from her.
However, it seemed Lin Xiao didn't hold much hope, otherwise, her bones wouldn't have been completely shattered, and her meridians severed...
This was merely preserving her life; it would take several years to fully recover.
Lin Xiao then frowned, looking at the ground. "You all fix this place later, or we'll have to pay for the damages."
"Yes!"
With that, Lin Xiao walked over to the ice cream machine and slowly made two cones before leaving.
"I'm leaving this to you all."
"Yes!"
Ye Chen and the others swiftly cleaned up the scene.
As for the other members of the Nangong family who had arrived, they had already been dealt with without anyone noticing before they even came.
All those who dared to lay hands on the Dragon King and his family met only one fate.
Death!
...
"It seems we will know the whereabouts of 'Overlord True Qi' before long," the elder who had made the deal with Wang Dong said, putting down his phone with relief.
Nangong Huowu had been live-streaming the entire mission to them just moments ago, from the planning to the execution, all meticulously prepared. But just now, the feed had disappeared as Nangong Huowu left.
Beside him, another elder, with white hair and a gaunt frame that seemed like it would crumble with every step, nodded. "To think, after all these years, we will finally obtain 'Overlord True Qi'."
As he spoke, his eyes filled with a deep longing, evident for all to see.
"Indeed..."
This elder suddenly felt a twitch in his eyelids.
