97: The Struggle and Demise of the Xiao Family

“How dare you, you little thief! I'll kill you.”

Xiao Yuanshan roared, and magic elements rapidly converged in front of him.

“Flame Demon!”

As he roared, a Flame Giant over five meters tall immediately condensed on the lake island.

As soon as the giant appeared, many powerful individuals gasped.

“It’s the Level 120 Fire-type Magic Flame Demon Giant. Although it only has one attack, it can deal a million single-target damage.”

“It’s over, no matter how strong Lin Ling is, he’s finished.”

“Even with the sacred set, he can’t withstand a single blow from the Flame Demon.”

A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of many big shots.

In their opinion, Lin Ling was still too young, and an overly arrogant genius would eventually perish prematurely.

“Lin Ling, die for me!”

Xiao Yuanshan roared.

A huge flame battle-axe appeared in the Flame Giant’s hand.

The two-meter tall battle-axe directly cleaved towards Lin Ling’s head.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ling’s COS fans closed their eyes one after another.

“Boss, be careful!”

“Lin Ling, be careful!”

Qin Xuan and Zhou Mengyan exclaimed simultaneously.

Only Ji Mo's eyes were filled with excitement; he had a blind trust in Lin Ling.

He also knew exactly how powerful Lin Ling was.

Would someone who could cast a Forbidden Spell at Level 20 be afraid of an attack from a Five-turn Archmage?

Boom…

The giant axe directly struck Lin Ling’s head.

The earth trembled, and hot waves surged.

However, Lin Ling still stood there, unmoving.

Only that eerie song echoed in the air.

Who would have thought that the diamond armor covering Lin Ling’s body at this moment was a Forbidden Spell-level defensive skill?

All the onlookers widened their eyes.

At this moment, everyone’s heart rate suddenly quickened.

No one understood what was happening; Lin Ling could actually withstand a full-force attack from a Five-turn expert.

“How is this possible?”

Seeing that his strongest attack couldn't shake Lin Ling, Xiao Yuanshan immediately exclaimed.

But Xiao Yan’s death had too great an impact on him; he only had one son, and at this moment, he only wanted to avenge his son.

As long as he could get revenge, he could give up everything.

“I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! Kill, kill, kill!”

Xiao Yuanshan shouted frantically, and a golden scroll actually appeared in his hand.

As soon as this scroll appeared, all Professionals with a bit of knowledge immediately changed their expressions.

“Forbidden Spell Scroll?”

Once the Forbidden Spell Scroll was used, they feared they wouldn’t even have a chance to run.

“Xiao Yuanshan, stop it! Tens of thousands of new Professionals are gathered here. Have you considered the consequences of a Five-turn Archmage like you attacking recklessly?!”

Mayor Bai, seeing Xiao Yuanshan losing control of his emotions, immediately roared.

However, Xiao Yuanshan’s face was filled with a sinister smile, and his eyes were full of madness.

“Hahahahaha… Consequences? I want him dead, and all of you will accompany my son to the grave.” Xiao Yuanshan roared madly.

He raised the Forbidden Spell Scroll in his hand high.

The Professionals watching desperately fled into the distance.

However, there were simply too many people, and only those powerful individuals with flying skills soared into the sky.

They simply couldn't run; not every Professional had flying skills.

Just then, a clear female voice suddenly rang out.

“Father!!”

Xiao Yuanshan suddenly trembled and slowly turned to look at his daughter, Xiao Ya.

But at this moment, he couldn’t care so much.

“Xiao Ya, don’t blame Father!”

He let out a frantic roar.

Suddenly, a system announcement popped up in front of everyone.

“The Black Mountain Bottom Old Demon will appear in 10 minutes. All warriors, prepare for battle!”

But at this moment, those who wanted to kill were busy killing, and those who wanted to escape were busy escaping; no one paid attention to the announcement.

Just then, a pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky, covering the lake island.

Qin Xuan and the others disappeared one after another. After Ji Mo disappeared, only Lin Ling remained on the lake island.

A blood-red warplane suddenly appeared in the sky.

Seeing the War God Hall’s emblem on the warplane, a hint of wild joy appeared in everyone’s eyes.

“It’s the War God Hall! The big shots from the War God Hall are here to save us.”

“This is a King-level warplane, a Seven Turns big shot has arrived! We’re saved.”

In an instant, everyone who had planned to escape stopped their steps.

Xiao Yuanshan’s heart had already turned cold when he saw the King-level warplane appear, but he quickly realized that Lin Ling had not been taken away by the warplane.

“Hahahaha… Lin Ling, you trash! Did you see that? Even the War God Hall doesn’t want to save you. Die for me!”

Xiao Yuanshan laughed maniacally, as if he had seen the most ridiculous thing in the world.

He raised the Forbidden Spell Scroll in his hand, but the King-level warplane in the sky showed no sign of attacking Xiao Yuanshan.

The Seven Turns big shot everyone had been expecting also didn’t appear.

At this moment, the crowd, who had just calmed down, once again fell into panic.

After this delay, they had even less chance of escaping.

And those who had originally used flying skills to escape had just flown back.

At this moment, the expressions on their faces were simply too wonderful.

Just as everyone was in despair.

A figure appeared silently behind Xiao Yuanshan.

This person was Ji Mo.

He instantly moved, reaching for the Forbidden Spell Scroll in Xiao Yuanshan’s hand.

If he succeeded, he would instantly turn invisible again and flee far away.

But just as his hand was about to grasp the Forbidden Spell Scroll.

Xiao Yuanshan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

A Repel Fire Ring rippled outwards from him.

Ji Mo’s hand was now less than two centimeters from the scroll, but it could no longer get any closer.

Boom…

Ji Mo flew backward, his full health instantly reduced to critical.

“Not good!”

Lin Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The next second, the golden scroll in Xiao Yuanshan’s hand suddenly glowed with a towering golden light.

That golden light instantly transformed into a volcano, and a large amount of lava erupted from the volcano.

However, at this moment.

Another burst of singing suddenly echoed in the air.

『Wave after wave comes crashing in, the strong wind carries me swaying』

…

Raging Waves is an attitude, Raging Waves rises and falls, Raging Waves, Raging Waves!』

Everyone looked around in extreme surprise, as if trying to find the source of the singing.

However, they soon realized that the singing seemed to be everywhere.

At the same time.

The area they were in transformed into a vast ocean.

But the crowd found that although all they saw was ocean, they couldn’t feel the slightest presence of water.

And at this moment, a monstrous wave suddenly pushed Xiao Yuanshan towards the distance.

The volcano seemed to be connected to Xiao Yuanshan, and as Xiao Yuanshan moved away, the volcano followed.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yuanshan was swept dozens of miles away by the huge wave.

And the lava, upon falling into the seawater, instantly cooled.

It was as if this suddenly appearing ocean was only effective against Xiao Yuanshan and his Forbidden Spell.

The confrontation between the Fire-type Forbidden Spell and the Water-type Forbidden Spell thus began.

Another monstrous wave appeared, this huge wave directly slammed into Xiao Yuanshan.

Another item appeared in Xiao Yuanshan’s hand, and that thing emitted a golden light, instantly enveloping Xiao Yuanshan in a golden shield.

Boom!!

The giant wave crashed against the golden shield, and the shield's HP bar instantly decreased by one-fifth.

However, the HP bar began to slowly refill after the wave passed.

“Hahahaha… You want to kill me, Xiao Yuanshan? With just you…”

Xiao Yuanshan laughed wildly from within the golden shield, but before he could finish his sentence, another giant wave came.

The giant waves rolled, with the latter pushing the former.

The golden shield protecting Xiao Yuanshan only lasted for two impacts before it was covered in cracks.

The automatic recovery speed of the HP bar was far from enough to compensate for the rate of HP loss.

Fear began to appear on Xiao Yuanshan’s face.

A large amount of blood vessels turned the whites of his eyes red.

“I know I was wrong, stop quickly, I am willing to hand over all my property…”

Xiao Yuanshan begged loudly for mercy, but this time he still couldn't finish his sentence.

Another giant wave rushed over.

The golden shield protecting him shattered with a crash.

Only a loud rumbling sound was heard.

A huge damage value instantly appeared above Xiao Yuanshan’s head.

His head burst open under the giant wave like a rotten watermelon.

His HP bar was instantly emptied.

The head of the Xiao Corporation, Xiao Yuanshan, was dead.

“You have successfully killed Professional Xiao Yuanshan.”

Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Lin Ling’s expression remained unchanged.

The seawater disappeared, and everything returned to its previous state; only Xiao Yuanshan, now a corpse in the distance, remained motionless.

Xiao Ya rushed towards Xiao Yuanshan, her cries echoing throughout the surroundings.

At this moment, everyone knew that the Xiao Corporation was finished.
