Total Annihilation

Even though Chen Xuan had killed many people, including some Soul Masters close to level 20, it didn't matter much—they were just a bunch of insignificant small fry.

Could these people compare to him? What kind of person was he?

His name was Li Hai. He was only eighteen years old but had already broken through the level 30 barrier, now standing as a level 36 Battle Soul Master.

All of this was, of course, due to his family's support. Recently, they had even spent over a hundred thousand gold soul coins to purchase a thousand-year-old soul bone for him to absorb, pushing his soul power directly to level 36.

In the past, he had always wanted to eliminate Chen Xuan and his sister Chen Yiyi, but his father wouldn't allow it. Otherwise, those two would have been dead long ago.

Li Hai couldn't understand why his father would let two useless people stay at home and freeload. What was he so afraid of?

He didn't know that his uncle was worried Chen Xuan's parents weren't truly dead. Rumor had it that they had only disappeared into the Star Dou Forest, and he feared their return for revenge. That's why he hadn't expelled the siblings from the household.

After all, those two were extremely talented, with power at the Soul Emperor level, and their martial soul fusion skill was as powerful as a Soul Saint.

"Trash, I don't know what tricks you used, but trash is still trash. In the face of a real Battle Soul Master, you are nothing more than an ant!" Li Hai spoke arrogantly, exuding confidence.

"I don't want to waste words. Cut off your head and present it to me, and maybe I'll spare your sister's life."

Chen Xuan remained expressionless and said, "Likewise, I don't bother with dead men."

"You're stubborn and incorrigible!" Li Hai's eyes darkened, his patience gone.

Suddenly, a substantial amount of soul power burst from his body, his clothes flapping as his hair flew wildly. Soul rings began to flash on the ground.

Yellow, yellow, purple—level 36 Battle Soul Master.

A red spear materialized from the ground, and the three soul rings merged into it. Li Hai grabbed it firmly in his hand.

Swoosh!

At that moment, Li Hai charged forward, wielding the crimson spear, thrusting it straight ahead.

Chen Xuan picked up the bright saber he had used earlier. In this situation, a short weapon like a kunai would be a disadvantage.

Clang! A loud clash echoed as sparks flew.

Li Hai's face changed; the red spear trembled, causing his hand to go numb.

The other was clearly holding a saber, so how could it have such force? Could it be a legendary weapon?

It was very possible. Chen Xuan was merely a support-type Soul Master, yet he had killed so many servants, likely relying on that weapon.

Li Hai swung his spear again, this time activating a soul skill. A yellow soul ring merged into the spear, covering its body with a red aura.

Clang!

The spear and saber clashed repeatedly, sending sparks flying. Soul power surged in all directions, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to sway.

"As expected, you're just trash. When I get serious, you're nothing." Li Hai smiled confidently.

Earlier, Chen Xuan's strength had surprised him, making his arms numb and almost causing him to doubt himself.

But now, it was clear that the saber was the only reason Chen Xuan could contend with him.

However, this was the end.

"Third Soul Skill, Fiery Body." Li Hai shook his spear violently, and a purple soul ring merged into it. With a whoosh, flames erupted from the spear, burning fiercely.

After activating his third soul skill, his power and speed visibly increased.

Clang!

Another clash forced Chen Xuan to retreat quickly. He frowned, glancing at the saber in his hand, noticing a small chip in the blade.

A few more collisions, and this saber would surely break.

"Such trash," Chen Xuan sighed lightly. He didn't want to use those ninja techniques, but now he had no choice. After this, he would need to get himself a better weapon.

He threw away the saber and retreated a few steps to create some distance.

Seeing Chen Xuan discard his weapon, Li Hai laughed, assuming he was surrendering.

"Too late. Even if you beg for mercy now, I won't spare your sister. But don't worry, I'll chop you both up and feed you to the dogs so you won't be separated." Li Hai laughed wildly, approaching with his flaming spear.

Chen Xuan ignored him and took out six kunai, casually tossing them on the ground.

This only provoked more of Li Hai's mockery. He walked up to one of the kunai and stomped on it several times.

He looked at Chen Xuan with pity and said, "It seems you're truly terrified, scared out of your mind."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

But as he laughed, a scorching wave of heat swept over him, accompanied by a massive fireball flying straight at him. The temperature was incredibly high, scorching the grass beneath it.

Li Hai's expression changed as he hastily tried to defend himself, activating his second soul skill. His spear glowed as it released a soul power shield to block the fireball.

Sweat dripped from his forehead. What kind of technique was this? Where did the fireball come from, and why was it so powerful that even he struggled to withstand it?

"Wind Release: Big Ball Rasengan."

While Li Hai was still resisting the fireball, a strong gust suddenly rose behind him. When he turned to look, his face changed drastically, filled with fear.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Xuan had already appeared behind him, holding a blue orb surrounded by wind blades, and slammed it towards him.

Ah!

Li Hai let out a painful scream as the flesh on his back twisted. The small wind blades tore through his flesh, cutting down to the bone and organs.

With a loud thud, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing into a wall. He was unconscious, his life or death unknown.

"My son!" Seeing this, a plump woman let out a sharp, heart-wrenching scream.

A middle-aged man rushed over, looking at the dying Li Hai, his body covered in countless wounds and soaked in blood, barely holding on to life.

His eyes widened in rage as he glared at Chen Xuan, shouting, "Chen Xuan, how could you be so cruel? He's your cousin!"

The plump woman, seeing her son near death, went mad on the spot. She grabbed a kunai from the ground and charged at Chen Xuan, seeking revenge for her son.

Splat!

Chen Xuan showed no mercy, his hand rose and fell, and a head rolled to the ground, ending her life.

Seeing his wife's death, the middle-aged man also lost it, going berserk. He picked up another kunai and charged at Chen Xuan.

With another splat, another head fell, blood staining the flowers and grass.

Chen Xuan remained expressionless as he ended his uncle's life.

He then stepped forward and severed Li Hai's head as well. With that, not a single person in this manor was left alive—they had all been slaughtered.

On this day, Chen Xuan became a demon, unleashing a massacre, and took his sister away from the Li family.

"Not killing you would have affected my state of mind." He left this statement behind and left the Li family estate with Chen Yiyi.

A day later, the massacre was discovered, causing a sensation. The entire village rushed over.

It was too gruesome, making many villagers gag, as they had never seen such a bloody scene in their lives.
