Sovereign of Stars

Chapter 28 – Dragon Annihilation

Whoosh!

Su Xin charged forward, racing towards Darkwater Alley in the eastern city at top speed. His heart was burning with anxiety.

The Second Elder...

That fiery elder who was impulsive but held the family's honor above all else.

The one who said that only when all the old fellows were dead would the younger generation of the Su Family be allowed to fight desperately.

This time, the Su Family's retaliation against the Pang Family was led by this Second Elder from the start.

If anything happened to him, it would be a huge blow to the entire Su Family.

"I must make it in time!"

Su Xin's heart was roaring.

...

In the eastern city, Darkwater Alley.

A fierce battle had been raging for quite some time.

Some houses in the alley had already been blasted to ruins, and some walls were shattered.

At this moment, on the eaves of one house, Second Elder Su Tietong was holding a green stone staff with both hands, struggling to fend off the siege of three peak Sea Transformation Realm experts.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his robe was torn, and he had two wounds on his body.

One was a knife wound on his left waist, not too deep, but still bleeding.

The other was a bloody hole in his right calf, pierced by a spear.

In terms of strength, Su Tietong was definitely among the strongest at the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm. In a one-on-one fight, he could slay an average peak Sea Transformation expert head-on. Even against two, he could hold his ground.

But now, he was besieged by three peak Sea Transformation experts, and he had been ambushed from the start, resulting in the bloody hole in his calf.

This wound not only severely weakened his combat power but also robbed him of any chance to escape.

He could only try his best to hold off the three attackers, hoping to delay until reinforcements from the Su Family arrived.

"Haha! Su Tietong, stop struggling. Do you really think you can survive against the three of us?"

The three attackers, two men and a woman, included a purple-clad elder from the Pang Family, a brown-haired old man wielding a spear, and a middle-aged woman with dual swords, both of whom were Pang Family retainers.

The three of them, attacking with full force, sensed that Su Tietong was on the verge of collapse.

Yet they still found him troublesome.

"No wonder he's the Second Elder of the Su Family. His strength must have reached the pinnacle of the Sea Transformation Realm, not far from passing the first level of the Dragon-Seeking Tower. Even with our ambush and his injuries, we still can't take him down quickly."

"His staff technique is also quite formidable."

Despite the difficulty, the three attackers were not worried.

After all, the Pang Family had thoroughly prepared for this assassination attempt on Su Tietong.

From luring Su Tietong to Darkwater Alley, the Pang Family had calculated everything.

Even if someone rushed out to report immediately, it would take a long time for reinforcements from the Su Family to arrive. This time was more than enough to kill Su Tietong.

"Hmph, you killed over ten of our Sea Transformation experts, even a peak one... Su Tietong, you deserve to die!" the Pang Family elder snorted coldly.

In fact, when faced with the Su Family's revenge, the Pang Family initially intended to endure it.

After all, the two families had long-standing enmity, with constant conflicts and killings. This time, they had instigated it by sending assassins after the Su Family's young master, which ended in failure.

The Su Family's furious retaliation was expected, and they had prepared some emergency measures.

But who would have thought the Su Family's revenge would be so fierce, with the Second Elder Su Tietong personally taking action, killing many of the Pang Family's Sea Transformation experts, especially slaying a peak one the other day.

This made the Pang Family unable to sit still.

They immediately decided to kill this 'reckless' Second Elder of the Su Family who was leading the charge.

Hence the current situation.

Pfft!

Taking advantage of a gap in the battle, the brown-haired old man thrust his spear, piercing another bloody hole in Su Tietong's shoulder.

The wound on his shoulder instantly affected Su Tietong's arm strength, making it even harder for him to fend off the three attackers.

Clang! Clang!

The middle-aged woman's dual swords slashed down, knocking Su Tietong's stone staff out of his hands.

His weapon was sent flying...

"It's over!"

A trace of despair flashed in Su Tietong's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a surge of unprecedented madness.

"If I'm going to die, I'll take one of you with me!"

Su Tietong's gaze turned fierce. As the spear aimed for his throat, he didn't even try to dodge but instead charged forward, gathering power at his fingertips, intending to shoot through his opponent's head at the moment the spear pierced his throat.

But just as the spear was about to pierce his throat, a sword suddenly intervened.

This sword, like a spirit snake, sliced through the void.

Not only did it deftly block the spear, but it also deflected the attacks of the other two.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three attackers immediately retreated to the side.

"Reinforcements?"

"The Su Family's reinforcements arrived so quickly?"

The three attackers looked displeased.

According to the Pang Family's plan, the Su Family's reinforcements shouldn't have been able to arrive so soon.

But now...

"Reinforcements?"

Su Tietong was also delighted and quickly looked at the figure that appeared before him.

But when he saw who it was...

"Su Xin?"

Su Tietong's expression changed immediately, "Why are you here? Who told you to come?"

"I was nearby when Ye Luo went for help, so I came," Su Xin replied.

At this moment, Su Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he made it in time.

If he had been even a little slower, the Second Elder might not have survived.

"Reckless!!"

Su Tietong's expression turned extremely anxious, "Su Xin, have you forgotten what I told you before? Who told you to come here and throw your life away?"

"Hurry, I'll try to hold them off, you escape quickly!"

Su Tietong was genuinely panicked.

Even if he died, or even if two or three of him died, the Su Family could bear it.

But someone like Su Xin, who carried the Su Family's future as a peerless genius, the Su Family couldn't afford to lose!

"Second Elder, don't worry. These few people can't kill me."

Su Xin smiled confidently, his eyes turning icy cold as he looked at the three attackers, a monstrous killing intent beginning to gather.

Just these three, they were just a hair's breadth away, really just a hair's breadth...

"You three, have you thought about how you want to die!!"

A fierce shout suddenly rang out.

...

When Su Xin arrived, the three peak Sea Transformation experts from the Pang Family were shocked, but they quickly sensed the spiritual energy emanating from him.

"Initial stage of Sea Transformation?"

"Just an initial stage of Sea Transformation? Yet he managed to block all our attacks and save Su Tietong from a desperate situation?"

The three were stunned, then overjoyed.

"It's Su Xin!"

"He's Su Xin!!"

"The young master of the Su Family?"

The three were ecstatic.

This was like a pie falling from the sky.

It was like having a simple meal and unexpectedly finding a huge, golden dumpling!

Compared to Su Xin, Su Tietong was nothing!

Just a more formidable peak Sea Transformation expert, but his potential was exhausted, and he might never reach the Void Shattering Realm in his lifetime.

But Su Xin... He could contend with a peak Sea Transformation expert while still in the True Martial Realm, a bona fide peerless genius, a threat that kept the Pang Family awake at night.

They had previously spared no expense to hire Baishan Island's 'Phantom' to kill Su Xin, and the recent battles between the Su Family and the Pang Family were all because of Su Xin.

They were worried because 'Phantom' hadn't managed to kill Su Xin, wondering how they could eliminate this genius in the future.

But now, this peerless genius of the Su Family had come to them on his own to save Su Tietong?

"Kill!"

"No matter the cost, we must kill him!"

Killing intent surged from the three.

And at this moment...

"You three, have you thought about how you want to die!!"

Su Xin's fierce shout rang out again.

"This kid still wants to kill us?"

"Courting death!"

The three exchanged glances, and in the next moment, whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!

The three moved simultaneously.

Just as they had besieged Su Tietong, they unleashed their full power, aiming to kill Su Xin as quickly as possible.

"Su Xin!"

Su Tietong was tense, having picked up his weapon again, ready to assist.

But Su Xin was faster.

In an instant, he met the three attackers, and his sword was already swinging.

Su Xin immediately activated fifty percent of his bloodline power, unleashing power comparable to peak Sea Transformation, but the truly terrifying aspect was his swordsmanship.

It was ruthless, like blazing flames, like thunder roaring with wild fury.

The combination created an overwhelming force.

The Thunderfire Volume, with its heavy sword intent, crushed down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each strike was extremely violent.

Each strike seemed like the wrath of heaven and earth.

"This, this..."

The three attackers, who had intended to take advantage of the situation to kill Su Xin, were stunned the moment they engaged him.

As soon as they clashed, they sensed the terrifying, unstoppable power contained in Su Xin's sword, along with the vast, endless might.

This might came in waves, leaving them no chance to kill Su Xin, forcing them to defend in panic, and even then, it required all three working together to barely hold on.

But with each successive strike, they were forced to retreat step by step.

"We're giving it our all, yet we're being completely suppressed by an initial stage Sea Transformation?"

The three peak Sea Transformation experts from the Pang Family felt utterly dumbfounded.

They knew Su Xin was exceptionally talented, which was why the Pang Family was desperate to kill him.

They also knew that Su Xin could contend with a peak Sea Transformation expert while in the True Martial Realm.

But now... They were three peak Sea Transformation experts, and they were being suppressed by someone two or three levels below them, three against one?

Su Tietong, who had been planning to help Su Xin, was also stunned.

"Su Xin, he, he..."

But Su Xin paid no mind to any of that. At this moment, he was like a blazing flame.

"The Pang Family, the mortal enemy of my Su Family!"

"Over the years, the number of Sea Transformation experts and young talents from my Su Family killed by the Pang Family is unknown!"

"Even when I showed a bit of talent, the Pang Family couldn't wait to hire a peak Sea Transformation assassin to kill me!"

"And now, the Pang Family comes to kill the Second Elder..."

"The Pang Family deserves to die, deserves to be annihilated!!"

"Kill! Kill!"

With each violent swing of his sword, his inner killing intent and anger reached their peak.

As endless fury and killing intent swept over him, he immersed himself in his sword technique, a sudden realization dawning in his mind.

Suddenly, as the three attackers were being forced back by his swordsmanship, Su Xin looked up.

"Thunderfire Arcane Technique!"

"Sparks Ignite the Sky, Sword Path—Dragon Annihilation!!"
