From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 195 Subpoena
"Humph."

Xue Fangyuan chuckled inwardly. All her skills lay in her fireball technique; how could she possibly dodge it so easily? That fireball was condensed spiritual fire, locked onto Xu Xiaohou's opportunity, and would relentlessly pursue him.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Xu Xiaohou dared not confront the attack head-on and quickly took out his green wooden shield.

Fortunately, he had this high-grade defensive magic artifact; otherwise, he wouldn't know how to deal with such a powerful fire spell.

The aoki armor shield blocked the blazing fireball head-on.

"boom--!"

A blazing fireball the size of a face exploded, transforming into a rapidly expanding flame that engulfed Xu Xiaohou.

Despite being shielded by the green wood armor, Xu Xiaohou was not seriously injured. He was pushed out of the flames by the force of the fireball's explosion, enduring the intense heat until his body turned bright red.

The body's spiritual energy circulates rapidly, dispelling the damage caused by the high temperature.

Previously, Xu Xiaohou felt that he had no rivals in the Qi Refining realm, but now, facing Xue Fangyuan, he realized what it meant to be evenly matched.

The profound foundation of a family of cultivators was beyond his comprehension.

Xue Fangyuan has a better high-grade defensive magic weapon and a high-quality cultivation technique than him.

The outcome of a one-on-one fight between the two is uncertain.

the other side.

While Xue Fangyuan and Xu Xiaohou were fighting, Xue Weisen and Xue Kexin went to deal with Meng Jiaojiao and Xu Zhongxi.

"Stop resisting and surrender."

Xue Weisen waved the white fire fan in his hand, looking at him with a pitying expression.

"The Xue family has committed numerous evils and caused so many deaths; they will be punished!"

Meng Jiaojiao shielded Xu Zhongxi behind her.

At this moment, Xu Zhongxi was in the midst of an internal struggle. In less than a day, her views had undergone a complete transformation, and everything was being reshaped.

She looked at Xu Xiaohou in the distance, Meng Jiaojiao blocking her way, and Xue Weisen and the others with ill intentions on the other side.

Although she has not yet regained her memory, she realizes who her real enemy is.

"Hmph, stubborn and incorrigible, you've only got yourself into trouble!"

Xue Weisen waved his fan, and a burst of flames, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, drifted towards the two of them.

Xue Kexin practices the "Moon Yin Fire Technique," which releases cold, white flames.

Faced with this ranged fire attack, Meng Jiaojiao's Yuan Sha Technique was at a disadvantage, and she could only consume more spiritual energy to forcibly resist these spiritual flames.

Seeing that she was no match for him, Xu Zhongxi made his move!

Xu Zhongxi was, after all, about to reach the peak of Qi Refining, while Xue Weisen and Xue Kexin opposite her were at the eighth and seventh levels of Qi Refining, respectively.

With Xu Zhongxi's arrival, the situation stabilized instantly.

Xue Weisen was stronger. He was at the eighth level of Qi Refining and possessed the mid-grade magic weapon Wind and Fire Fan, which enhanced his combat power. His strength was no weaker than Xu Zhongxi's.

Of the three members of the Xue family, only Xue Kexin, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, is relatively weak.

"call out!"

The feather-patterned flying sword flew towards Xue Fangyuan once again.

Xue Fangyuan easily blocked with her Golden Flame Shield, and the feather-patterned flying sword was deflected.

The feather-patterned flying sword, after being deflected, spun in the air and flew a long distance before suddenly changing direction and flying towards Xue Kexin.

Xu Xiaohou did this intentionally, targeting the weakest member of the enemy team.

Xue Fangyuan has a high-grade defensive magic weapon, so it will be difficult to harm her in a short time.

Xue Kexin, on the other side, was clearly caught off guard by Xu Xiaohou's sudden attack.

"careful!"

Xue Weisen noticed the feather-patterned flying sword that was attacking Xue Kexin from behind.

At the last moment, Xue Kexin activated a high-grade golden light talisman, and a golden light shield appeared around her.

"Pfft~~"

The golden light talisman's protective shield was like a bubble, which was pierced by the feather-patterned flying sword.

The momentum of the feather-patterned flying sword slowed slightly, but it still pierced through Xue Kexin's chest.

A high-grade defensive magic weapon can withstand a feather-patterned flying sword, but a golden light talisman cannot.

Xue Kexin felt her life rapidly slipping away as she plummeted toward the ground in disbelief.

"Kexin!"

Enraged that the other party had killed her clansmen right in front of her, Xue Fangyuan unleashed a series of blazing fireballs the size of washbasins.

The Blazing Sun Fire Technique is so simple and unadorned, yet it unleashes flames powerful enough to incinerate everything in the world.

While dodging and using his Green Wood Armor Shield to defend himself, Xu Xiaohou looked for an opportunity to kill Xue Weisen. Xue Weisen wielded a Wind and Fire Fan, which was not a defensive magic weapon, so killing him would not be difficult.

Once Xue Weisen is dead, Xu Xiaohou and his two companions will have a high chance of winning against one. Of course, this is on the condition that no more reinforcements from the Xue family arrive, especially Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With Xue Kexin dead, Meng Jiaojiao and Xu Zhongxi's pressure was greatly reduced.

The two dealt with Xue Weisen with ease.

The feather-patterned flying sword was looking for an opportunity, waiting for Xue Weisen to reveal a weakness.

"Humph!"

Seeing that she was being ignored, Xue Fangyuan temporarily abandoned dealing with Xu Xiaohou, who possessed the Green Wood Armor Shield, and focused on dealing with Meng Jiaojiao first.

She waved fireballs of various sizes, which flew towards Meng Jiaojiao and Xu Zhongxi.

boom! boom! boom! …

Flames erupted in the sky, turning it a fiery red.

The air became scorching hot.

"Xiaoxi, be careful!"

Xu Xiaohou stepped in front of Xu Zhongxi in time, using his green wooden shield to block a fireball.

This scene startled Xue Fangyuan; she intended to capture Xu Zhongxi alive, not kill him.

If Xu Zhongxi is dead, what's the point of finding her?
For this reason, Xue Weisen was constrained and unable to unleash his full combat potential.

"die!"

Taking advantage of Xue Fangyuan's momentary daze, Xu Xiaohou leaned closer to Xue Weisen.

The feather-patterned flying sword attacked from the other side.

Xue Weisen blocked the feather-patterned flying sword with his wind and fire fan, only to see Xu Xiaohou appear in front of him.

He was puzzled, wondering why Xu Xiaohou, a sword-controlling cultivator, would get so close.
Then I saw Xu Xiaohou's fist shadows and qi.

The two were less than three zhang apart when Xu Xiaohou's internal energy erupted from his acupoints, condensing into the shape of a fist and slamming into Xue Weisen's abdomen.

Xue Weisen could block one flying sword with feather patterns, but he couldn't block the simultaneous attack of the flying sword and a close-range Grandmaster.

"Pfft~~"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs had been injured by the shock. His dantian and qi sea were not shattered, but the shock caused his spiritual energy to become disordered, making it temporarily difficult to mobilize.

Xu Xiaohou took the opportunity to get closer and face to face with Xue Weisen.

A punch, aimed straight at the face.

When a Grandmaster and a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator engage in close combat, the outcome is predictable.

Xue Weisen fell diagonally to the ground with a "whoosh" and lost consciousness.

"It's your turn."

Xu Xiaohou looked at Xue Fangyuan with icy eyes and leaped forward.

He had to fight quickly.

Meng Jiaojiao quickly followed to help, and Xu Zhongxi also joined in.

"this!"

Xue Fangyuan hadn't expected her opponent to be so fierce. How could a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining unleash the power of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts? She found it hard to comprehend.

When she came to her senses and realized what was happening, she quickly took out a communication talisman from her storage pouch.

She was greedy for credit and didn't contact Xue Yimiao immediately after discovering that Xu Xiaohou and the other two were capable of taking them down. She thought she could handle them on her own.

However, after two members of her clan died in battle, it was her turn.

As she retreated, she used a communication talisman to send a message to Xue Yimiao.

"Oops!"

Xu Xiaohou saw the talisman in her hand and realized she was asking the Xue family for help. Once a Foundation Establishment cultivator arrived, they would have no chance of survival.

"Kill her quickly!"

He employed a variety of techniques, closing in on the enemy in close combat, while his feather-patterned flying sword waited for an opportunity.

Meng Jiaojiao and Xu Zhongxi cheered them on from the sidelines.

Xue Fangyuan was fighting three opponents alone. Her Golden Flame Shield had a limited defensive range and couldn't provide all-around protection. However, she was much stronger, and even when facing three opponents alone, she could unleash terrifying combat power.

In order to finish the battle quickly, Xu Xiaohou neglected his defense. He held the Green Wood Armor Shield in front of him and relied on his Grandmaster-level internal energy to withstand the flames. In a short while, his whole body was scorched black by the flames, and his hair was emitting blue smoke.

He drew most of Xue Fangyuan's attention.
