Chapter 294: Chapter 294: The Crisis of the Xiao Family (Part 4)

“Elder Xiao!”

Madam Sheng Yue’s breath tightened, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on the aged figure within the void.

Strength… it was ultimately a matter of strength.

If only she possessed the power of the Innate level, would she not have been so passive? It was precisely because her strength was insufficient that she could not intervene in battles involving Innate Strong People…

Madam Sheng Yue clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the frustration in her heart, her eyes intently watching the two parties in the confrontation…

“Boom!”

A powerful surge of energy struck Elder Xiao in the chest, making him stagger back several steps, a trace of blood leaking from his lips. He looked up at Nangong Zifeng opposite him, his eyes gradually growing heavier.

“Hmph!” Nangong Zifeng snorted disdainfully, slowly lowering her numb hand, her eyes filled with arrogance, “Old man, as Intermediate Innates, you are definitely no match for me! Your life is already at its limit. The more you use Elemental Power, the faster you’ll die. How could your strained body be a match for me?”

Elder Xiao didn’t speak, his figure flashed as he attacked Nangong Zifeng once again.

“I’ve said before, if you want to harm the Xiao Family, you will have to step over my dead body. As long as I live, I won’t let you hurt them!”

“Overestimating yourself!” Nangong Zifeng moved, her sword dancing lightly in the air…

The temperature in the air gradually dropped.

Snow began to slowly fall from the sky, the pure white snowflakes sparkling and clear, seeming like the most beautiful colors in the world… Those snowflakes gently drifted, gradually gathering in front of Nangong Zifeng.

Cold…

Everyone present now felt an unprecedented chill, as if placed inside a freeze…

“Old man, since your life is ending anyway, and living is only suffering, let me, Nangong Zifeng, send you off!”

Boom!

A myriad of snowflakes in front of Nangong Zifeng condensed into a powerful storm. Wherever the storm passed, even the air froze, the bone-chilling cold seeping into people’s hearts. It also caused Elder Xiao’s face to stiffen and flames suddenly surged around his body, headed toward the oncoming snowstorm.

Compared to the earlier snowstorm, this one was obviously several times more powerful…

“Get down!”

Elder Xiao’s face changed drastically, and he urgently yelled to the people behind him.

“Elder Xiao!”

Xiao Tianyu and the others watched the figure standing in front of everyone, their hearts sinking deeper, their faces filled with sorrow…

As if he didn’t hear their shouts, Elder Xiao stood erect in front of everyone, numerous flames casting his aged face in a bright red glow, yet his aged face bore a trace of resignation.

For the Xiao family, even if it meant death, he was willing…

“Boom!”

A tremendous explosion resounded through the skies.

Xiao Tianyu hurriedly protected Madam Sheng Yue in his arms, his gaze turning towards the scene not far off. At this sight, his pupils sharply constricted, his heart seeming to be fiercely struck, violently shaking.

Under the ferocious storm, Elder Xiao stood erect in the distance, a gentle breeze lifting his grey robes in the eyes of the onlookers, he simply stood there quietly, not moving a step…

And that storm, capable of destroying the Xiao family, was firmly blocked by him on the outside.

In that moment, the elder’s aged silhouette was so mighty, using his body to forcefully shield the Xiao Family from this powerful attack…

“Elder Xiao!”

Old Master Xiao’s pupils contracted, his aged body shaking violently, hot tears streaming down his cheeks, he disregarded everything and charged towards the elder.

But Elder Xiao suddenly raised his hand, stopping Old Master Xiao’s movements…

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, Elder Xiao’s body finally unable to bear it, his legs fiercely kneeling on the ground, the blood streaming from his mouth uncontrollably, similarly wrenching everyone’s heart fiercely…
