Chapter One Fainted

  Xiao En Ting, dressed in a new groom attire, smiled and shuttled back and forth among the dignitaries. Today, he formed an alliance with the Yang family, one of the four major families of the empire, which would be a powerful stepping stone for him to become the future head of the household.

  Xiao En Ting's gaze suddenly fell on a corner of the hall, looking at Xiao Bie Li and his family sitting there. The smile on his face became even more radiant. Immediately, he picked up his wine glass and walked over with a gentle breeze.

  "Big brother, I'm glad you could attend my wedding today, third brother here would like to toast a glass to you."

  "Haha, Third Brother is being distant now. How can the Eldest Brother be absent from your wedding?" Xiao Bie Li smiled and welcomed him, this Third Brother was his only close relative in the Xiao family.

  The two men looked at each other and smiled, downing their drinks in one gulp. Xiao En Ting felt a wave of emotion in his heart. From a very young age, he had known that this older brother would achieve great things, and he had always maintained a good relationship with him. Now, his older brother's achievements had proven his initial intuition correct. His older brother had risen from humble beginnings to become the Marquis of Tianqi Town, commanding tens of thousands of elite troops, and was now a heavyweight figure in the empire. If not for his older brother having fallen out with their father back then and withdrawing from the competition for the position of family head, it's likely that the future head of the Xiao family would be none other than him, leaving no hope for anyone else.

  "Why can't I see Third Uncle's wife anymore?"

  Watching the smiling Third Uncle leave, Xiao Jian said with some regret.

  "Haha, big brother, unless you go into the bridal chamber and lift up the bride's red veil, otherwise you absolutely won't be able to see her today."

  Xiao Jian rolled his eyes and said: "I'm afraid that when Third Uncle arrives, he'll be carrying a treasured sword and chasing me down to kill me everywhere."

  His words suddenly made everyone burst out laughing. After laughing for a while, Xiao Zhan looked at the room full of strangers and felt quite bored. He had thought that ancient weddings would be interesting, but it turned out to be so dull and flavorless.

  "Mom, I want to go back to sleep now, this doesn't make any sense."

  Zhan Wan'er smiled and nodded at her husband, then left the banquet with Xiao Zhan, who had a complaining expression on his face.

  At this time, on the rooftop of the Xiao family's house, the skull-masked man stood proudly in the wind. Behind him stood three people, looking at the main house in the distance with a festive atmosphere, his cold and gloomy eyes flickering with an eerie and mysterious light, and his voice was even more sinister and chilling in the dark night.

  "How's the preparation going?"

  A masked man in black clothes behind him said respectfully: "Great elder, everything is ready, waiting for your orders at any time."

  The skull-masked man glanced at the three people behind him, smiled sinisterly, and when his gaze fell on the wedding venue in the distance again, his eyes burst with excited gleams, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  "Kill! Kill! Kill! Give me a bloodbath at the Xiao Mansion, use their blood to test our secret weapon, hahaha!"

  "Elder, won't this cause trouble? You know that the Xiao and Yang families in Tianqi are not to be trifled with."

  "Hmph! What's there to fear? As long as I leave Jade Capital, what can they do to me?"

  A masked man responded with a bow, and in an instant, he disappeared into the darkness. Before long, a group of black-clad men took advantage of the night to break into the Xiao Mansion. Their eyes were blood-red, and their bodies emitted a bloody killing aura. They killed anyone they saw, and the originally festive atmosphere was instantly replaced by fresh blood and eerie knife lights.

  "Boom!"

  A loud crash, the wedding scene's large door was violently kicked open, a blood-soaked guard rushed in, his face pale, with a terrified expression, as if he had seen something horrifying.

  "Master! A group of monsters has broken in, they kill anyone they see, it's too terrifying! We can't even kill them!"

  "What?!"

  When he heard that someone dared to hurt the Xiao family, Xiao Zhengqiu was furious beyond control. Just as he was about to speak, a loud shout of killing had already reached outside the house, and in an instant his face changed drastically.

  So soon?

  Xiao Zhengqiu and Yang's family, who were standing next to him, exchanged a glance, only to find shock and anger in each other's eyes. The opponent chose to commit the crime on the day of their grand wedding, which was clearly a blatant provocation, showing that they didn't take either of their families seriously.

  Before anyone could react, more than a dozen black-clad masked men had already rushed to the entrance, their bloody killing intent and frenzied murderous aura hitting everyone in the face, causing all the guests at the banquet to panic. What was even more unthinkable was that these people were all martial artists of the Innate Realm or higher, with blood-red eyes and a frenzied atmosphere, the timid ones in the banquet hall let out terrified screams, some even trembling with fear.

  "Roar!"

  More than a dozen black-clad masked men let out beast-like roars from their mouths, and in the blink of an eye, they charged towards the banquet hall with anger. In an instant, the violent aura swept through the entire hall.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Suddenly, clusters of gorgeous fireworks burst forth, their energy exploding in a dance, and an overbearing aura abruptly appeared. The figures of more than ten black-clad masked men who were about to charge forward were as if struck by lightning, suddenly flying out even faster, and in the blink of an eye, a majestic figure appeared at the door, it was Xiao Bilei.

  In an instant, the entire world fell silent, and the murderous aura that had just shot up into the sky vanished in a flash. The banquet hall was so quiet for a moment that one could hear a pin drop.

  Standing with a gun, wearing a purple robe, Xiao Bie's sword eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his cold eyes staring intently at the flying black-clothed masked man. Just as the long spear struck, a burst of clashing metal sounds erupted, and the feeling was not that it had hit human flesh. Indeed, more than ten people who had been knocked flying reappeared, swaying unsteadily as they stood up again, as if the blow had not hurt them at all.

  Xiao's face turned gloomy, and he coldly shouted: "Who are you people? Why did you trespass into the Xiao Manor?"

  More than a dozen masked men in black clothes shouted loudly and rushed towards Xiao Bilei again.

  Xiao Bie Li let out a cold hum, his long spear shaking in his hand. In an instant, a shadow of the spear enveloped more than ten people who were charging towards him. As the spear flew through the air, more than ten figures sprang up, creating a black mist of blood before falling to the ground. Their hearts had all been pierced, and black blood spurted out. However, they struggled to get up, wanting to stand again. Seeing this bizarre scene, everyone's face changed color.

  In an instant, hundreds of figures flew in. Seeing this scene, Xiao Bie Li was not surprised but delighted, he laughed loudly and charged forward with his gun. In an instant, a rolling wave of gun shadows rolled towards the crowd of black-clad men, amidst the dancing and flying long guns, figures were thrown into the air, their heads bursting one after another, falling to the ground without any movement.

  In the midst of it all, an atmosphere of heroic and majestic gun intent enveloped everyone's mind, with a domineering and passionate aura that grew stronger by the minute.

  Yang's family head saw this scene, and a look of envy appeared in his eyes. He said with a tone of schadenfreude: "Brother-in-law, you have a good son! Tsk tsk tsk! Look at this atmosphere, look at this momentum, he is only one step away from becoming an immortal warrior. Your Xiao family's dream of having an immortal warrior will soon come true."

  Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed with anger, and he coldly shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Kill all these people who broke into the Xiao family, and remember to cut off their heads."

  Xiao Zhengqiu took the lead and rushed forward.

  Looking at the scene of Xiao Bie Li's rampage, the skull-masked man on the rooftop changed his expression. At this rate, the subordinates he brought might be taken down by this one person.

  "Go kill that guy!"

  A faintly discernible man's eyes flashed with green light, and a dark, terrifying aura burst out of his body. He stared at the scene where Xiao Bie Li was excitedly galloping about and said: "Yes! Master."

  In the blink of an eye, he vanished on top of the roof.

  In the midst of the fight, he felt a sense of liberation and his body felt relaxed. As he wielded his spear with great momentum, countless ideas flooded his mind. His aura continued to rise, and previously unclear things became crystal clear. With an overwhelming surge of emotions, he burst into loud laughter.

  "A prison of white bones!"

  Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the air. Before anyone could react, a swirling vortex of knife lights burst forth, almost instantly enveloping Xiao Bilei in a cage-like structure that seemed to be made of white bones, leaving him no room for retreat or evasion. The intense aura of death and the ferocious killing intent filled the air, causing Xiao Bilei to feel suffocated under the knife lights' encirclement.

  Facing this peak's one knife, Xiao Bie Li was exceptionally excited, a hot blood in his chest cavity was surging. This is the battle he had been expecting for a long time, those dead soldiers just now were all above the innate realm and fearless of death, but they were too weak for him. Only such a same-level peak duel can make his blood boil, let him break through.

  "Overlord Roar!"

  Xiao Bie Li burst into loud laughter, his long spear dancing in his hand as it continuously trembled. Wave after wave of strange sounds shook out from the tip of the spear. In that instant, everyone seemed to have heard the angry roar of a million soldiers' souls, and a vast aura filled the entire scene.

  "Clang!"

  Clashing swords and guns, the air was filled with explosive energy. The spot where Xiao Bieli had just been standing was suddenly blasted out of existence, leaving a crater several meters deep. All the black-clad warriors in the surrounding area were instantly blown away, many of them shattered into pieces on the spot.

  Xiao Bie Li was knocked back several meters, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he shouted loudly: "You are a Soul Clan member!"

  The black-robed man's clothes burst open, revealing his upper body covered in strange patterns. His blood vessels bulged out, looking ferocious and terrifying to the extreme. Upon hearing Xiao Bieli's shout, a cold smile appeared on his face.

  "Great! I was worried that I couldn't find a Soul Clan member, and you guys actually delivered yourselves to my doorstep."

  The Soul Sect's man nearly took his young son's life last time, and this time he saw the real master. Xiao Bilei's heart was filled with rage, his blood boiling as if it had all ignited. He let out a loud roar, his body suddenly bursting forth, instantly launching a fierce attack on the black-robed man.

  "The Tyrant is Angry!"

  The long spear danced, like a furious dragon, attacking the black-robed man from various cunning and strange angles. One spear strike was faster than the last, one spear strike was heavier than the last. A tyrannical, crushing intent was rapidly rising with each swift turn of the spear. The black-robed man at the forefront only felt his own aura and strength being constantly drained away, while the power on that dragon-like long spear was instead increasing with each successive strike.

  "Bawangnu" can be used for both group battles and solo duels, with each spear absorbing the enemy's momentum and strength. As more enemies are faced, the spear technique becomes stronger, with each strike's power stacking up, increasing in intensity as it progresses.

  Suddenly, Xiao Bie Lian's face turned cold with a sneer, his long spear instantly pierced through the black-robed man's defense, and in an instant, it stabbed towards his chest. In that moment, the black-robed man's face turned deathly pale, at the critical juncture of life and death, his eyes flashed with green light, his soul fiercely burning, and a furious roar burst forth from his throat.

  "Purgatory Blade Light!"

  "Die!"

  As the black-robed man struck out with a desperate blow, two dazzling sword lights suddenly attacked Xiao Bilei, as if to encircle and annihilate him in one move.

  "Hahaha!"

  Three-pronged attack, Xiao Bilei was not afraid at all, he burst out laughing, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared with him as the center. In an instant, within a hundred meters around, it seemed to have suddenly fallen into another world, a wild and overbearing will filled the air.

  "Territory!" Xiao Zhengqiu's face changed color as he looked at his eldest son in incredulity.

  "The Domain of the Overlord!"

  A flash of silver light, a spear thrust like a dragon, a burst of intense gunfire erupts.

  "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

  Three shrill cries rang out in succession, the dark night sky, three people instantly turned into a bloody mist, extremely mournful and bewitching.

  When all was quiet, Xiao Bieli stood proudly with his gun, his long hair dancing wildly, his purple robe fluttering and billowing. A smile played on the corners of his mouth, radiant to the extreme.

  Looking at the lonely figure in front of him, the master of the Yang family couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions - admiration and envy.

  "Wow! Congratulations to your family, the Xiao family will soon give birth to another immortal warrior."
