92: The extermination operation begins

Boom!

When the heavy, purple-bronze gate of the auction house slowly opened, Mo Yuhan, dressed in dark green, appeared on the high steps, accompanied by Ya Fei. The entire square instantly erupted in a fervent, thunderous roar!

"Great Master Mo!"

"Annihilate the Jia Lie family!"

"We are willing to die for Great Master!"

Countless gazes, fervent, awestruck, and greedy, converged like tangible flames on that small figure.

At this moment, Mo Yuhan was no longer a nine-year-old child, but a Second-Grade Alchemist Great Master, controlling resources that drove people mad and wielding the power of life and death!

Mo Yuhan's gaze calmly swept over the agitated crowd below, like a Divinity looking down on ants.

He slowly raised his small hand and gently waved it towards the direction of the Jia Lie Family mansion. His voice was not loud, yet it clearly overpowered all the clamor, carrying a bone-chilling coldness that could freeze ten thousand li:

"Target, the Jia Lie Family! Leave no living thing behind!"

"Kill—!!!"

As Mo Yuhan's voice, cold as the Nine Nether's frigid wind, fell, the words "leave no living thing behind" echoed like a death knell over the square! The long-accumulated greed, killing intent, and fervor exploded like a ignited powder keg!

"Kill!"

"For the Azure Spirit Pill!"

"Annihilate the Jia Lie dogs!"

The three Dou Shi Peak cultivators who responded to the bounty seemed to have a grudge against the Jia Lie Family. Their eyes flashed with fierce light, and their Dou Qi veils instantly covered their bodies. Like three raging meteors, they were the first to tear through the air, carrying shrill sonic booms, and hurtled towards the Jia Lie Family mansion!

Wherever they passed, the ground cracked inch by inch, their momentum shaking heaven and earth!

Following closely were the two Great Dou Shi Elders brought by Ouba Pa, as well as Xiao Zhan and the Elder from the Xiao Family, who also erupted with powerful auras, hot on their heels!

Several terrifying pressures of the Great Dou Shi level, like moving mountains, crushed through the streets of Wutan City, announcing the arrival of destruction.

"Keep up!"

"Don't let the credit escape!"

Following closely were more than ten Dou Shi experts, like a pack of wolves that smelled blood. Their Dou Qi light shone, and the clanging of unsheathed swords formed a piercing metallic storm, converging into a destructive torrent, closely following the Great Dou Shi, surging madly towards the Jia Lie family!

The Dou Zhe were even red-eyed, letting out bestial roars, brandishing their weapons, and flooding the streets like a breached tide!

The tall and imposing Jia Lie Family mansion, under the afterglow of the setting sun, now resembled a trapped beast curled in the shadows, trembling with fear.

When the five terrifying auras of the Great Dou Shi level, like tangible giant hammers, violently struck the defensive light shield above the mansion, the piercing alarm sounded like a dying wail, sharply cutting through the twilight's silence!

"Enemy attack—! Highest alert—!"

A shrill scream echoed inside the mansion, carrying undisguised panic.

Jia Lie Bi was pacing anxiously in the council hall, waiting for his trusted subordinates, sent to gather information, to report back.

When the five terrifying auras, like heavenly might, pressed down without concealment, his withered body suddenly stiffened, and the color instantly drained from his face, leaving only a deathly pale hue!

A chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his crown, freezing his limbs and bones!

"Gr-Great Dou Shi?! Five of them?! Im-impossible!"

He shrieked, his voice so sharp it cracked, filled with extreme fear and disbelief.

When did so many Great Dou Shi appear in Wutan City? And all simultaneously targeting the Jia Lie family?!

Rumble—!

A violent explosion, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, suddenly erupted at the mansion's main gate!

The defensive light shield, built with heavy funds and capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Great Dou Shi, lasted less than three breaths under the combined assault of five Great Dou Shi, then shattered like a fragile eggshell!

Scattered light fragments flew everywhere, like the collapsing fate of the Jia Lie family!

"Stop them! Stop them for me!"

Jia Lie Bi, like a gambler who had lost everything, his eyes bloodshot, roared hysterically, his body trembling violently from fear and rage.

He abruptly drew the saber from his waist, frantically injecting Dou Qi. The saber blade burst forth with dazzling yellow light, and he viciously cleaved towards the council hall's main door, attempting to rush out and organize resistance.

However, as soon as the door was cleaved open a crack, a scorching gale, mixed with a strong smell of blood and char, violently poured in.

Outside the door, it was already a Shura's hell!

Shouts of battle, the piercing clang of weapons, the dying wails of the fallen, the booming collapse of houses…

All sorts of hair-raising sounds intertwined into a symphony of death. Flames shot into the sky, dyeing half the sky blood-red.

The Jia Lie family's guards and clansmen fell in swathes like reaped wheat.

Their eyes were filled with despair and confusion; many didn't even know who the enemy was before being torn to shreds by violent Dou Skills.

The Dou Shi Peak experts who answered the bounty were like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Every strike brought a torrent of blood and gore; ordinary Dou Zhe were as fragile as paper in front of them.

The two Elders brought by Ouba Pa were even more insidious and vicious, specifically targeting the Jia Lie family's elites. Their Dou Skills were cunning and ruthless, every move aimed at taking a life.

Xiao Zhan and the Elder from the Xiao Family, on the other hand, were like avenging lions. Years of accumulated resentment completely erupted, especially the Elder, who fought with sweeping, powerful moves. Each sweep was like a chariot rolling over, pulverizing the Jia Lie family's sturdy courtyard walls and barricades.

The torrent formed by the Dou Shi and Dou Zhe completely engulfed the outer perimeter of the Jia Lie family mansion.

Like crazed locusts, they frantically destroyed everything in their path for the promised elixirs, to vent the malevolence in their hearts, chasing down every Jia Lie clansman attempting to flee.

Once prosperous pavilions and towers collapsed under the bombardment of Dou Skills, exquisite gardens turned into scorched earth, and valuable artifacts were trampled into mud.

"Father! Save me!"

A young man, covered in blood, stumbled into the council hall. It was Galeo, Jia Lie Bi's son.

One of his arms was already gone, the stump a bloody mess, and his face was covered in bloodstains and extreme terror.

However, before he could finish speaking, a sharp, crimson Dou Qi streak, like a venomous snake, shot in from outside the door, piercing his back with deadly precision!

The fear on Galeo's face instantly froze. His body trembled violently, and he looked down at the bowl-sized, charred blood hole in his chest. The light in his eyes rapidly dimmed, and he fell to the ground with a thud, twitching a few times before going silent.

"Ao'er—!"

Jia Lie Bi's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a heart-wrenching wail.

It's over! Everything is over!

His son died tragically before his eyes, and the family's foundation turned to dust in fire and blood.

Immense despair, like a cold tide, instantly engulfed Jia Lie Bi.

His body swayed, a sweetfishy taste surged up his throat, and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood with a "poof," his face like golden paper, his aura instantly weakening.

Just then, the shouts of battle rapidly approached.

The heavy door of the council hall was violently smashed open by an immense force.

Amidst the swirling dust, several figures, like death-reaping demons, stepped in, treading over ruins and corpses.

Leading them were Ouba Pa and Xiao Zhan.

Jia Lie Bi leaned against the wall, barely supporting his body. His venomous gaze fixed on Ouba Pa and Xiao Zhan, his voice hoarse like a broken gong: "Ouba Pa! Xiao Zhan! You… you are so ruthless! To actually team up… to deal with my Jia Lie family! And you!"

He suddenly turned his gaze to several Dou Shi Peak experts, with his last bit of unwillingness and madness, "Who exactly are you?! What grudge does my Jia Lie family have with you?!"

The scarred strongman grinned, revealing a mouthful of bone-white teeth, his eyes cold and bloodthirsty, like he was staring at a lamb to be slaughtered: "Grudge? We take people's money to eliminate their troubles! If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for provoking someone you shouldn't have! We accepted Great Master Mo Yuhan's bounty!"

"Mo… Mo Yuhan?!"
