CHAPTER 588: 588, GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO END IT YOURSELF!

"Wang Family members, heed my order, form the Yin Yang Saber and Sword Formation, do not rest until this thief is slain right here, or the souls of our Wang Family ancestors will never be at peace!"

The venomous roar emanated from Wang Yidao, as if the very headquarters of the Wang Family were indeed rising with a trace of invisible resentment, making it desolate and eerie.

After hearing the Family Head’s commanding shout, the remaining nearly twenty Wang Family members all felt a chill in their hearts and promptly flew out to take positions around the grand hall.

As one of the three great families of Imperial City, the Wang Family, apart from the Two Instruments of the Saber and Sword Brothers, also possessed a large Yin Yang Saber and Sword Formation, which was formed by the collective power of many, and that was now being deployed.

After all, the number of the Saber and Sword Brothers was too few, whereas the power of this collective formation had multiplied several folds because it condensed the power of nearly twenty cultivators from the Spirit Vein Realm.

"What nonsense Yin Yang Saber and Sword Formation, it’s full of loopholes!"

To Yun Xiao, a grandmaster of formations, this large formation was riddled with holes, such was the insight of Long Xiao Battle God.

In his previous life, having studied countless Divided Advance and Joint Attack formations, even in the midst of hundreds of thousands of people in large arrays, Yun Xiao could enter and exit seven times at will, let alone this mere formation of twenty people.

Moreover, apart from Wang Yidao, there was no second Peak Spirit Vein Realm expert in the field, which indirectly provided favorable conditions for Yun Xiao to break the formation.

Since it was called the Yin Yang Array, it ultimately required two people to stand on the Array Core over the eyes of the Yin Yang fish, one Yin and one Yang complementary to each other, to unleash the power of the Yin Yang Array.

Now, the Wang Family Head, Wang Yidao, naturally stood on the Yang position, but the Yin position, originally controlled by Wang Yijian, was now filled by a late-stage Spirit Vein Realm Elder of the Wang Family.

At this moment, the breakthrough point identified by Yun Xiao was precisely the crucial spot of the Yin position held by the Wang Family Great Elder, and with his keen vision, he spotted the key to breaking the formation in just a moment.

Ding Ding Ding!

Multiple swords and sabers clashed together, but how could they possibly hit Yun Xiao? Seeing him twist his body, that Wang Family Great Elder standing at the crucial Yin position was now just a few feet away from him.

"Damn it, how could he locate me so quickly?"

Being stared at by Yun Xiao’s slightly cold gaze, the Wang Family Great Elder shivered, but he couldn’t understand how his well-hidden position was seen through by this youngster.

This youth was merely sixteen or seventeen years old, yet having seen many of Yun Xiao’s methods before, the Wang Family Great Elder almost cursed in his heart, could this guy have been cultivating from the womb to have mastered so many techniques so thoroughly?

Be it Meridian Qi Cultivation or the Meridian Refining Technique, and now his knowledge of arrays, Yun Xiao hardly seemed like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but rather like an old monster who had lived countless years.

In fact, the Wang Family Great Elder wasn’t wrong in guessing; although Yun Xiao’s body was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his soul was that of the previous life’s Long Xiao Battle God, truly an old demon who had lived for countless years.

Unfortunately, it was too late for the Wang Family Great Elder to realize this, as the dark gleam that had just severed the Wang Family’s second in command flashed in front of him again, and then he felt a pain in his chest.

Bang!

The rapid dissipation of his life force caused the Wang Family Great Elder’s body to collapse thunderously to the ground, and with the loss of a key link in the Yin position, the Yin Yang Saber and Sword Formation naturally ceased to exist.

Crack Crack Crack...

Taking advantage of the situation, Yun Xiao, with the intimidating act of killing the Wang Family Great Elder, unleashed a rampage with his Dragon Taming Sword, and another dozen Wang Family members fell under the peerless blade.

"Yun Xiao, stop... stop!"

Seeing that in just a moment more, the high-end powerhouses of the Wang Family would be nearly wiped out, Wang Yidao finally felt a trace of fear and had to speak with a tremor in his voice.

Snap!

Hearing this, Yun Xiao withdrew the Dragon Taming Sword, and after a figure fell in front of him, he casually turned his head, staring at the Wang Family Head a short distance away with an inexplicable expression.

"Yun Xiao, about that incident back then, it was the Wang Family’s fault. I can offer compensation, and you’ve killed so many of our clan members, we can pretend as if nothing happened, please... show mercy!"

Realizing the inevitable outcome, the Wang Family Head, with an undeniable frustration in his eyes, had no choice but to compromise. After all, "As long as the green mountains are there, one need not fear running out of firewood," but if all the clanspeople were gone, what rises could they speak of again?

"Show mercy? It’s not impossible, but I have one condition. If the Wang Family Head can agree, I will turn and leave!"

Hearing Wang Yidao’s words, Yun Xiao merely smiled faintly, flicked the wooden sword in his hand, and his next statement made Wang Yidao and the few remaining Wang Family members show relief on their faces.

Today’s situation was clearly overpowered by Yun Xiao, and those remaining Spirit Vein Realm powerhouses of the Wang Family were the last hope for the Wang Family’s resurgence.

Originally, it was believed that with Yun Xiao’s ruthlessness, it was impossible for him to spare the Wang Family, likely to vanish overnight just like the Guan Family, but unexpectedly there was still a glimmer of hope.

"You say, as long as my Wang Family can do it, we will absolutely not refuse!"

At this moment, even if all the wealth accumulated by the Wang Family over the years were to be given away, Wang Yidao would not even frown; after all, how could worldly possessions be more important than one’s life?

"The condition I have is very simple, and the Family Head of the Wang Family will definitely be able to do it, which is..."

At this point, Yun Xiao deliberately paused, seeing that all members of the Wang Family were listening intently, then he suddenly raised his voice and said: "As long as the Family Head of the Wang Family commits suicide in front of me, then I can agree to spare these Wang Family members!"

As these words were spoken, the face of the Wang Family’s Family Head, Wang Yidao, instantly turned deathly pale, and the expressions of the other Wang Family members became much more complicated, all of them staring intently at Wang Yidao, seemingly expecting something.

"Yun Xiao, you... you are too cruel!"

The previously assertive Wang Yidao, who vowed that he could do anything, now pointed at Yun Xiao, struggling to find words, and in the end, only managed to squeeze out this sentence.

Whether it was giving Yun Xiao all the wealth inside his belt or outright renouncing the title of one of the three great families in the Imperial City, Wang Yidao could accept it.

Even moving the whole clan to the Jade Pot Sect to beg for forgiveness was not impossible, but the condition Yun Xiao proposed right now was absolutely something Wang Yidao could not agree to.

No one is willing to give up their life, and especially not someone as esteemed as the Wang Family’s Family Head. Having been accustomed to superiority over the years, even if Wang Yidao could endure temporary humiliation, he never thought that he would stumble and fall like this.

Wang Yidao thought that as long as he could survive this day of catastrophe, relying on his strength, the Wang Family could certainly rise again, and taking back the position of one of the three great families of Imperial City was not an impossible feat.

However, Wang Yidao calculated everything but did not expect Yun Xiao would propose such a condition. If he died, even if the Wang Family could rise again, what significance would that have for him?

"How about it? Do you disagree? Hasn’t the Family Head always prided himself on thinking of the family? How come now, when you can exchange the lives of the entire clan for your own, you are unwilling?"

Seeing Wang Yidao’s ferocious glare, Yun Xiao was not the least bit concerned; instead, he sneered. The words that came out of his mouth caused Wang Yidao’s expression to change dramatically.

At this moment, Wang Yidao truly experienced how cutting Yun Xiao’s words could be. This was even more formidable than direct action; because under his words, the hearts of other Wang Family members might also secretly undergo some changes.

"Family Head, please prioritize the greater good!"

Several influential elders of the Wang Family, including Wang Yijian, had already been killed by Yun Xiao using the Dragon Taming Sword. The remaining people, who could at most be in the Early Stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, might not have such noble and tenacious resolve.

It was really Yun Xiao’s strong display earlier that had instilled a psychological shadow in these people. They had reason to believe that a single Family Head of the Wang Family was no match for Yun Xiao, not to mention them, who were mere Early Stage Cultivators of the Spirit Vein Realm.

On one side was using the life of the Family Head to exchange for the lives of all remaining Wang Family members, and on the other was the Family Head resisting to the end, ultimately leading to the annihilation of the Wang Family. This choice was probably not difficult to make.

"Yes, Family Head, the life and death of the Wang Family depend on your single thought, please don’t do anything foolish!"

With one person taking the lead, the remaining Wang Family members continued to urge in succession, their words earnest, but they almost made Wang Yidao explode with anger.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Seeing these Wang Family members, who usually treated him with great respect, now so eagerly kicking him while he was down, Wang Yidao’s rage was truly extraordinary.

"Yun Xiao, I’ll fight you!"

As Yun Xiao just said, to die by his own hand was something Wang Yidao could never do. Since there was no way out now, he didn’t have to think about anything else at this moment.

As to whether his own actions would lead to the demise of the entire Wang Family, Wang Yidao really hadn’t considered that. Perhaps at this critical moment, when life and death are at stake, one’s true nature would be revealed?

"Alas, human hearts!"

Seeing Wang Yidao charging fiercely towards him, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but shake his head. With his current strength, whether he acted or not, the outcome for this Wang Family Head would be no different.

Crack!

After a few moves, a light cracking sound was already coming from the fighting area in the hall. Immediately after, Yun Xiao slightly shifted his position, while the Wang Family Head froze on the spot, as if he had been struck by an Immobilization Acupoint.

"The Family Head... is dead!"

When all the Wang Family members saw the sword wound in front of Wang Yidao, they were all visibly shocked. Yet at this moment, their gazes were all focused on the young man in black, because their lives and properties were all in Yun Xiao’s hands!
