Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 387 Mercy
Xiao Clan, in a courtyard, the Xiao Clan's holy guards tightly surrounded the outside to block the bustling Xiao Clan people. In the courtyard, Xiao Yu frowned and looked at the four corpses on the ground.

A pair of parents, as well as a pair of children, died because their throats were blocked with one move. Looking at their eyes wide open, it was obvious that they didn't react until they died.

Half a year ago, the disappearance of the Xiao Clan's holy guards no longer happened. However, before Xiao Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, something happened again during this period. Xiao Clan members had been murdered in the Xiao Clan for several days in a row, and another incident happened today.

Just like the people who were killed several times before, there was no purpose or reason. The deceased was not turned into a mummy, and there was no sign of the property being stolen. It really felt like killing for the sake of killing.

This shouldn't be Xiao Wuyun's doing, right?

Xiao Yu's expression was distorted. He could still associate the missing Xiao Clan's holy guards with Xiao Wuyun, thinking that they were trying to seize the bloodline.

But what was the purpose of killing these Xiao people?The deceased lacks nothing except that his soul has been wiped out, and he has no idea what the purpose is.

"Captain, the witnesses have been brought."

Just as Xiao Yu was thinking, a Xiao Clan holy guard led a Xiao Clan woman into the small courtyard, with fear on his face.

Xiao Yu turned to the Xiao woman and asked in a deep voice.

"Did you see the murderer last night?"

"Yeah." The Xiao clan woman nodded first, then shook her head quickly, "No! I just saw a figure coming out of this yard when I was passing by yesterday, but because it was too dark, I couldn't see what her face was. Sample."

Xiao Yu frowned after hearing the Xiao tribe woman's narration.

I couldn’t see my face clearly again
Immediately, Xiao Yu stretched out a hand and asked.

"Can you describe what that shadow looks like?"

"Well, she looks like a woman with long hair. When I passed by here last night, I heard strange noises in the courtyard, and then I saw the black figure coming out of the door and looking at me. "The Xiao Clan woman swallowed, her body trembling. "When I saw her eyes, I didn't know why I felt extremely frightened in my heart. I couldn't help shouting for help, and then the Xiao Clan's holy guards patrolling nearby rushed over. The black But I don’t know when the shadow disappeared.”

By the time she finished speaking, Xiao Yu's expression had become extremely serious.

It was almost the same testimony as the previous ones.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please cooperate with me to take notes later."

"Uh-huh."

The Xiao Clan woman nodded repeatedly, and Xiao Yu turned to look at the Xiao Clan Holy Guard beside her.

"Dispose of the body properly, and advise the Xiao clan members to be careful of suspicious persons as before. In the past few days, more patrols will be deployed. If any unusual movement is found, go there immediately without any delay."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yu left the small courtyard after giving the instructions. As soon as he came out, he saw a woman coming up to her with tears on her face. She grabbed Xiao Yu's hand and refused to let go, making Xiao Yu hesitate for a moment.

"excuse me, you are?"

"I am the elder of this family. Please, please catch the murderer!"

"Don't worry, this is the duty of our Xiao clan's holy guards. We will definitely catch the murderer."

After some comfort, Xiao Yu crossed the crowd and left here. Feeling the different looks from the Xiao clan people around him, Xiao Yu's heart froze slightly.

The previous Xiao Clan people were not to say disgusted by the looks of their Xiao Clan Holy Guards, but at least they were quite repulsive and almost had no good looks. This was also the reason why the Xiao Clan Holy Guards were becoming more and more resentful towards Xiao Wuyun.

Previously, resources were given to the Xiao Clan's holy guards, so they pretended not to see this kind of gaze. However, they now enjoy the same resources as the Xiao Clan's people, but they still have to suffer the rejection of the Xiao Clan's people. This is something that no one would like in their hearts.

However, in the past few days, Xiao clan members have been murdered frequently, which has caused most Xiao clan people's attitude towards the Xiao clan's holy guards to change. Their eyes are full of hope, hoping that the Xiao clan's holy guards can catch the murderer as soon as possible.

Although they belong to the Xiao clan, facing such an obviously powerful murderer, they are like lambs to be slaughtered. Basically, the only people who can protect them are the clan leader and the Xiao clan's holy guards.

That's how people are. Only when they face a real threat will they think of those who can protect them.

At least from this aspect, the events of the past few days are not entirely a bad thing for the Xiao Clan's holy guards. At least their image has been improved in the eyes of the Xiao Clan's people.

Xiao Yu thought like this and left here quickly, with the events of the past few days constantly swirling in his mind.

There are two biggest doubts about the killings of Xiao people in recent days.

One is the murderer's purpose, while the other is a witness.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the witnesses, but why is a murderer who can kill a family without any movement being witnessed again and again?
It felt to Xiao Yu as if she was being seen on purpose.

But if that's the case, what was the murderer's purpose?What good will this do to her?
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yu couldn't come up with an answer, but he didn't think of going to the secret room to ask Xiao Shengyi.

After all, in his opinion, this matter should have nothing to do with Xiao Wuyun. There is no need to ask Xiao Shengyi specifically. If you ask him if you encounter something, the chance of Xiao Shengyi being exposed will increase.

At least for this matter, you have to rely on yourself first.

At night, in a courtyard of the Xiao family, Xiao Ying squatted by the wall, looking at the family of three who were still enjoying themselves despite the tense atmosphere in the house.

Father, mother, and daughter who is only five or six years old.

The events of the past few days have made people panic, but the couple did not want their young daughter to be frightened, so they behaved as usual.

And another thing is that both husband and wife are fighting kings, which also makes them feel that they have some ability to protect themselves. Even if they can't defeat the murderer, they can always escape with their daughter.

Looking at the father in the room sitting on the sofa holding his daughter and teasing her, the mother beside him smiled and participated.

Xiao Ying couldn't help but show a trace of envy in her eyes.

Such a day, how wonderful.

Although it is dull, it is full of happiness.

Even though he has now obtained the strength that many Xiao people dream of, he still cannot get this happiness.

Is it really right for me to do this?

Xiao Ying looked down at her hands, as if she could smell the strong smell of blood.

To wantonly destroy the happiness of others for his own purposes is no different from Xiao Wuyun, whom he hates and hates.

Xiao Ying realized that she was gradually getting closer to the person she hated the most.

This made Xiao Ying feel like retreating.

However, just for a moment, Xiao Ying's heart became cold and ruthless again, and her mother's words came back to her mind.Go your own way, don't care about anyone, don't trust anyone.

No matter what means he uses, he will continue to climb up to the top of this family and even the world, until no one dares to ignore him.

Xiao Ying stood up from the courtyard wall and looked at the happy three in the house, her eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

Slowly raising his hand, a destructive aura gradually condensed in his palm.

Immediately, it crashed down.

hum! ! !
The deafening explosion resounded in the dark night, instantly waking up the Xiao clan people in this area. At the same time, several Xiao clan holy guards patrolling nearby suddenly stopped and rushed here quickly.

In the small courtyard, Xiao Ying looked at the ruined house. The little girl's sad cries kept coming from under the rubble, and her eyes couldn't help but move.

Instinctively aware of the danger at the last moment, the couple immediately protected their daughter.
Really, great parents.

Xiao Ying admired from the bottom of her heart, and slowly raised her hand, pointing towards the ruins where the crying and howling sounds were coming from.

I'm sorry that you, such a great person, met such a despicable me.

I'm here too, risking my life.

Bang!
The house, which was already in ruins, collapsed again, and this time, even the little girl's cries completely disappeared.

In fact, there was no need for Xiao Ying to kill the little girl who survived by chance. The purpose had been achieved, and she could have spared the little girl's life.

And the reason for doing this, although even Xiao Ying himself didn't believe it, it should be pity.

Seeing her dearest parents die in front of her in order to protect her, for the little girl, perhaps it would be even more uncomfortable to be alive.

Just like when Xiao Qingge's head exploded in front of Xiao Ying, the only spiritual pillar was destroyed. Xiao Ying understood that heart-wrenching pain and desire to die better than anyone else.

After doing this, Xiao Ying did not leave, she still stayed there, looking at the Xiao family members with lights around them.

Immediately afterwards, several Xiao Clan holy guards came after hearing the sound, with strengths ranging from Seven-Star Dou Zun to Three-Star Dou Sage.

The holy guards of the Xiao clan saw the collapsed ruins and then looked at Xiao Ying who was standing by the wall. Although her body was covered with black shadows and her appearance could not be seen clearly, she had a woman-like body shape and hair that was as long as her knees. , exactly the same as those described by previous witnesses.

Obviously, she is the murderer of those Xiao people these days!
Xiao Ying looked at the Xiao Clan's holy guards in front of her, moving her fingers slightly and silently counting the time in her heart.

The Xiao Clan's space is actually quite large. Today, I deliberately chose a location farthest away from the Clan Chief's Mansion. With Xiao Wuyun's strength, it only took a blink of an eye to arrive, but at least I had to notice what was happening here. 5 minutes.

In these five minutes, make the matter as big as possible, and then evacuate the scene as soon as possible without being caught by Xiao Wuyun.

and also
Xiao Ying glanced at the Xiao clan members who were coming out of the street one after another, and looked at the Xiao clan holy guards again, with murderous intent in their eyes.

These Xiao clan holy guards can kill as many as they can.

"on!"

One of the Xiao Clan's holy guards gave an order and attacked Xiao Ying together with the other Xiao Clan's holy guards.

In response, Xiao Ying looked coldly and smashed the first Dou Zun peak into powder with just one blow, and at the same time showed his own strength.

Five Star Fighting Saint! ! !

The Xiao Clan's holy guards looked shocked and shouted loudly.

"Dou Sheng, all retreat! Go and protect the surrounding Xiao people! Dou Sheng come with me!"

The moment he finished speaking, most of the Xiao Clan's holy guards surrounding Xiao Ying were reduced by half, with only three one-star Dou Saints, four two-star Dou Saints, and one three-star Dou Saint remaining.

However, even if eight fighting saints surrounded Xiao Ying together, Xiao Ying did not have the slightest fear in her heart.

The strength gap between each level of Fighting Saints is like a ravine. These eight Fighting Saints are not only encircling themselves, but it is not easy to escape from them.

But now, as the holy guards of the Xiao clan, they have to face themselves as a murderer. In order to protect the civilians, they have to stand up and risk their lives to defend their duties.

Xiao Ying's eyes were stern, and his body flashed behind a one-star fighting saint. The three-star fighting saint noticed it immediately and shouted sharply.

"Behind!!!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the one-star fighting saint's chest was pierced by Xiao Ying, but he did not activate the technique, just to prevent the Xiao Clan's holy guard from disappearing from suspicion of Xiao Wuyun.

Anyway, no matter how much these low-level fighting saints are absorbed, they can no longer increase their strength much, so they must not lose a big deal for a small amount.

"Damn it! If you don't want to die, be vigilant! Cover me!"

Seeing the body of the one-star fighting saint being thrown to the ground casually, the three-star fighting saint had cold sweat on his forehead and bravely pushed forward, fighting with Xiao Ying.

After all, among the people present, only he was strong enough to confront Xiao Ying, a five-star fighting saint. As for the remaining six fighting saints, they hid at a safe distance and constantly harassed Xiao Ying with their fighting skills.

I saw Xiao Ying Yu Sanxing Dou Sheng's fist hitting the flesh, and the ferocious sound of the blow seemed to be carrying earth-shattering momentum, making the legs of the Xiao people below who were protected by the Xiao Clan's holy guards tremble, and they were unable to use any strength to escape.

This is the battle between fighting saints!Weak people like them will be dead even if they are hit by the aftermath!

Those Dou Zun-level holy guards of the Xiao clan surrounded the outer circle and joined forces to create protection. They gritted their teeth and resisted the aftermath of the bursting Dou Qi. Every time they resisted the next impact, the protection trembled. Everyone felt that their hearts were being beaten. The hammer struck suddenly and hard, which was painful.

This is just the aftermath. If they are directly hit by the attacks of the two, I am afraid that the protection they have built up through practice will be shattered in an instant.

"Who are you?! Why do you want to kill me, the Xiao clan civilians?!"

The three-star fighting saint gritted his teeth and tried his best to fight against Xiao Ying, roaring and asking Xiao Ying's identity and purpose.

However, Xiao Ying ignored his question, and the coldness in his eyes did not diminish at all. He seized on the flaw in the Samsung Fighting Saint and hit him on the shoulder, causing his entire arm to be forcibly crushed because he could not withstand the powerful force. The interruption flew out, and the fighting energy in his body became chaotic.

This unexpected situation caused the three-star Dou Sheng's heart to be raised to his throat, and he had no time to take care of his broken arm. He devoted himself to mobilizing the chaotic fighting spirit in his body to stabilize his defense as soon as possible.

But, it's too late.

Xiao Ying's palm was like a knife, and she was already stabbing his head hard.

If this hit hits him, he will definitely die as his defense has not yet been established!
