Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 191 Blood

The next morning.

The dust has settled and the sky is clear.

However, in such rare good weather, the expressions and moods of the Xiao family members in the Xiao family mansion in the east of the city were mixed with sadness and joy.

The good news is that after last night's battle, the local families entrenched in Wutan City and hindering the development of their Xiao family, namely the Galie and Oba families, have been declared destroyed!

From then on, no force in Wutan City could hinder the development and growth of the Xiao family.

It is not an exaggeration to say that from now on everyone in Wutan City will be named Xiao.

After all, once the Galie and Oba families fell, most of the businesses that made money quickly in the city would basically flow into the hands of the Xiao family, including the markets, casinos, brothels, wine shops, teahouses, as well as the carriage and horse companies, water transport companies and other businesses, all of these businesses would be under the control of the Xiao family in the future!

And this is just the economic aspect within the city.

In terms of city security jurisdiction, from now on, only the Xiao family will be responsible for law enforcement!

Under such circumstances, the Xiao family can be said to have become the real "local emperor" of Wutan City.

What makes the Xiao family members sad is that they suffered heavy casualties last night before the battle situation turned around!

Nearly a hundred people died, more than fifty were seriously injured, and a number were slightly injured.

Among them, more than thirty servants kept in the mansion died, and sixty-three members of the Xiao family's side branches and direct branches were confirmed dead!
The scale of casualties is huge!

You must know that the entire Xiao family, including the old, weak, sick, disabled and young members who did not participate in the battle last night, has only a little over a thousand members!

The real living force, that is, the young and strong, is only the less than 500 people last night, and among them, not all of them are descendants of the Xiao family, because the servants kept by the mansion account for a small part of the number.

Dawn breaks, lighting up the entire city.

In the Xiao family mansion, that huge complex of buildings, one can see that almost every few courtyards, there will be a few clusters of white paper flowers hanging on wooden sticks or bamboo poles, as well as white cloth strips torn into a certain number, in front of the gate of one or two courtyards.

This is called the white flag.

The number of strips of cloth symbolizes the age of the deceased in the family.

In every courtyard where a white banner was hung in front of the door, the relatives of the deceased were all dressed in mourning.

This is a custom passed down by the Xiao family from long ago.

As time goes by, it is said that there are very few noble families on the mainland that still retain such customs, and only a handful of them can be seen in Zhongzhou.

……

East of the city.

In an open space at the end of one of the main roads in the city, less than two miles away from the Xiao family mansion.

This was the scene of a fierce battle between the Xiao family and the Gale and Oba families last night. At this moment, the blood pools on the ground and the corpses lying on the ground in the early morning have disappeared.

The entire end of the street was washed and swept clean, without a trace of blood left.

If it weren't for the faint smell of blood in the breeze that occasionally blew through the air, no one would have imagined that this place was the scene of a bloody battle involving thousands of people last night.

……

Wutan City, east of the suburbs.

Lin Li and the other man walked in unusual silence for a long distance. When they suddenly looked back and could no longer see the city walls of Wutan City, they stopped and looked at each other. They stretched out their hands for no reason and looked at them again and again, as if there was something dirty on them.

However, the fact is that neither of their hands was stained with any debris.

Lin Li slowly lowered his hands with barely perceptible trembling. During this process, he suddenly laughed at himself and said:
"Heh..., the number of people who died at my hands due to various reasons in my first half of life is not even one tenth of what happened last night..."

Beside him, Meng Yi, who was also a "lone ranger" in the Jia Ma Empire, heard the words, looked at Lin Li deeply, and said:

"If it's true, then among the solitary practitioners without any sect or school, the number of people you have killed is relatively small!"

"Oh? From the sound of your voice, it seems that many people have died at your hands before?"

Lin Li raised his eyebrows, took a step back calmly, and put some distance between himself and Meng Yi.

"Haha, that's not bad. Over the years, I have killed no less than a hundred people... However, compared to last night, it's certainly not as good... Who would have thought that the Xiao family's top brass actually wanted us to be executioners?"

As if he didn't notice Lin Li's retreat, Meng Yi said slowly.

After saying this, Meng Yi rubbed his hands vigorously on his clothes again and again, then put his hands to his nose and sniffed gently. His brows were furrowed, and then an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.

"You know, it's said that if a person kills too many people at once, no matter how you wash your hands, you will smell a faint smell of blood for a long time to come!"

Meng Yi lowered his eyelids, as if he was talking to himself.

On the side, Lin Li heard this and, somewhat unconvinced, also put his hand under his nose and took a deep breath.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

"What do you think? Is this true? Actually, it's understandable that we could smell it today. After all, it's only been a few hours since we killed the seven or eight hundred Galie and Oba people who were held back by the Xiao family. The smell on the skin is not so easy to evaporate. Haha... When you can still smell the blood on your hands after ten days or half a month, you will find that this is really weird!"

Meng Yi opened his eyelids slightly, and looked with contempt at Lin Li, who had unknowingly retreated several steps to the side. He paused and then continued:
"Blood is a very strange thing. On the mainland, among the more special and rare attributes of cultivators' fighting spirit, there is 'blood'... I wonder if you have heard of a legend from long ago?
It is said that as long as we cultivators reach the highest realm, the blood of anyone who is related to you will resonate with yours, and be sublimated and transformed. Depending on the closeness of the blood relationship, the strength of the person will be greatly improved. It can be said that if one person achieves enlightenment, everyone will benefit from it..."

After Meng Yi finished speaking, Lin Li looked a little doubtful and said:
"What do you mean by this? What do you intend to do?"

Meng Yi smacked his lips, and after a moment of silence, the fighting spirit in his body slowly surged to the surface of his body.

Seeing this, Lin Li narrowed his eyes slightly, drew out his weapon, and vigilantly guarded in front of him, while the fighting spirit in his body began to surge.

"Haha, don't be nervous. Why are you so sensitive? I just want you to take a closer look at my fighting spirit!"

Meng Yi chuckled.

"Your fighting spirit attribute? Aren't you water attribute... huh? What, what is this?"

As he spoke, Lin Li's eyes fell on the light blue fighting spirit on Meng Yi's body. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was a faint trace of blood flowing in his light blue fighting spirit with water attribute.

"Yes, my water-attributed Dou Qi is naturally mixed with a trace of blood-attributed Dou Qi!
After what happened in Wutan City, killing so many people at once, I'm afraid our mental state will never recover... I plan to go to the Black Horn Region to see if I can join the Blood Sect there!"

"The no-man's land at the junction of several empires, the Black Horn Region?"

"The Black Horn Region is the paradise for those of us who walk alone! I have said so much because I want to invite you to join me..."
