The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Chapter 61 Destroying the Xu Family

The moment he finished speaking, the spiritual seal on Lin Suzhou's fingertips suddenly changed.

The "Netherworld Sparrow Spirit Flame Array" in front of him suddenly erupted with dazzling purple light. Purple flames surged like a tide within the array, and the faint shrieks of sparrows could be heard piercing through the sea of ​​fire and stabbing straight into the eardrums.

With another thought, a substitute puppet that looked exactly like him appeared silently and took Song Hao away from the battlefield.

Then, nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual seals appeared around the substitute puppet, which quickly set up three Flame Sparrow Formations to resist the spiritual power attacks from the other Xu family members.

"You little brat, you're asking for death!"

Seeing that Lin Suzhou still dared to make a move, Xu Tian was furious and unleashed his full power as a second-grade supreme being.

Ripples spread through the surrounding space as he merged directly into the body of the over four-hundred-foot-tall deep yellow giant. His fist whistled and slammed down towards Lin Suzhou with the force of shattering mountains and splitting the earth.

Before the giant's fist even arrived, the violent spiritual energy had already stirred up a gale, blowing away most of the tiles of the Xu family mansion below, and sending rubble and wood chips flying everywhere.

Lin Suzhou remained expressionless. With a thought, the hundreds of purple flame spears within the Nether Sparrow Spirit Flame Array seemed to be drawn, turning their spearheads in unison, their tips pointing directly at the deep yellow giant.

"go!"

With a low shout, he sent the Purple Flame Spear piercing through the air. The spear was enveloped in purple flames that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and the sharp sounds of tearing through the air were continuous, like the explosion of thunder.

"Clang clang clang!" The purple flame spear and the giant's fist collided with a deafening clang, sparks flying everywhere.

The deep yellow giant was formed by Xu Tian using his second-grade supreme spiritual power, making it incredibly hard.

Even a full-force attack from an ordinary first-grade supreme being would be difficult to shake, but under the bombardment of the purple flame spear, dense cracks appeared on the giant's fist.

Even more terrifying, once the purple flames touched the giant's body, they burned wildly like maggots clinging to the bone.

Wherever the purple flames passed, the deep yellow spiritual energy melted away with a hissing sound. The dissipated spiritual energy was devoured by the purple flames, which instead made the flames within the formation even more intense.

"What kind of flame is this?!"

Xu Tian's pupils shrank sharply. He could clearly feel that the giant he had condensed with a huge amount of spiritual power was being devoured by flames. The burning sensation, which carried an aura of death, even made his spiritual power feel a little scared.

He dared not be negligent, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he roared, "Heaven-Shaking Seal!"

In an instant, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered wildly, condensing into a huge, deep yellow seal several tens of feet in size in front of Xu Tian.

The giant seal was covered with ancient runes. As the runes flowed, an incomparably heavy pressure spread out, as if an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on it.

As soon as the giant seal took shape, it slammed down on the Netherworld Sparrow Spirit Flame Array. Wherever it passed, the air was compressed and made to explode under the strain, and even space itself was briefly distorted.

"A trivial skill."

Lin Suzhou's lips curled into a cold smile. The true strength of a spirit array master is never achieved through brute force. His fingertips shifted once more, and he softly uttered, "Array Change, Netherworld Sparrow Burns the Heavens!"

As his words fell, the Netherworld Sparrow Spirit Flame Array suddenly trembled violently, and purple flames surged and roared within the array, actually condensing into dozens of illusory Netherworld Sparrows, each about ten feet in size, amidst the flames.

These Netherbirds were made entirely of purple flames, with outstretched wings, sharp beaks, and blood-red eyes. As soon as they appeared, they let out a sharp cry and flapped their fiery wings as they pounced toward the Heaven-Shaking Seal.

"Chirp one"

The phantom of the Netherbird collided violently with the Heaven-Shaking Seal.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only the hissing sound of purple flames spreading wildly.

Those Netherbirds actually crashed directly into the Heaven-Shaking Seal, using themselves as a conduit to continuously inject purple flames into the seal.

The once incredibly heavy Heaven-Shaking Seal had its surface runes rapidly fade under the scorching purple flames.

The deep yellow aura faded at a visible speed, and in a short while, it was covered with cracks. Finally, with a "bang," it exploded and turned into countless fragments of spiritual energy, dissipating into the world.

"impossible!"

Xu Tian gasped in shock, his face showing horror for the first time.

His Heaven-Shaking Seal was a supreme Dharma Body divine power. With the cultivation of a second-grade supreme being, even an ordinary third-grade supreme being would have to temporarily avoid its edge. Yet, it was broken by a mere boy with a spiritual array.

Little did he know that although Lin Suzhou's "Nether Sparrow Spirit Flame Array" was a low-grade human-level spirit array, he possessed the Mind Array state and was extremely familiar with the changes in arrays.

In addition, there was the Nine Nether Fire Seed given by the Fifth-Rank Supreme Nine Nether.

With the balance of power shifting, Xu Tian's defeat was only a matter of time.

Taking advantage of Xu Tian's momentary mental shock, Lin Suzhou's eyes flashed, and his fingertips slammed together in a spiritual seal: "Lock!"

Dozens of illusory phantoms of the Nether Birds suddenly changed direction, no longer attacking Xu Tian, ​​but instead flying towards him, connecting head to tail, and actually condensing into a purple flame cage around Xu Tian.

Above the cage, purple flames rose, and runes faintly flowed within the firelight, which was the trapping and killing power of the Nether Sparrow Spirit Flame Array.

"Break it!"

Xu Tian roared, his spiritual power erupting wildly. The pressure of a second-grade supreme being swept out like a tsunami. He clenched his fists and slammed them hard into the fire cage.

The fist landed on the cage with a dull thud, causing the purple flame cage to shake violently and the flames to surge, yet it never broke.

Instead, the purple flames spread along his fist towards his arm, scorching his clothes and even faintly trying to invade his meridians.

"Damn it!"

Xu Tian quickly withdrew his fist, looking at the scorch marks on his arm caused by the purple flames, a trace of lingering fear flashed in his eyes.

The flames were too strange; they could even penetrate his body through spiritual energy. If he hadn't reacted in time, his meridians would probably have been burned.

At that very moment, the outcome of the battle on the other side had already been decided.

Seeing that Xu Tian was being held back by Lin Suzhou, the two First-Rank Supremes of the Xu family exchanged a glance and rushed towards Song Hao together.

They knew that they had to pick the weakest link; if they could take down Song Hao, they could force Elder Xue to back down.

But as soon as they moved, a figure in a red dress blocked their way; it was Xue Xiaoyu.

The red birthmark on her face looked somewhat menacing in the sunlight, but her eyes revealed a chilling killing intent: "Your opponent is me."

One of the First-Rank Supremes sneered disdainfully, "A mere First-Rank Supreme dares to stop me? You're courting death!"

After saying that, he struck out with his palm, his powerful spiritual energy condensing into a giant hand, which he then slapped towards Xue Xiaoyu.

Xue Xiaoyu remained expressionless, but her spiritual power also erupted. Her red sleeves fluttered as she met the attack with a palm strike.

With a loud bang, the two of them each took three steps back. The First-Rank Supreme was so shocked that his blood and qi surged, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You little girl, you've got some skills."

Meanwhile, seeing that the Xu family patriarch was about to intervene and help Xu Tian, ​​Elder Xue snorted coldly and appeared in front of the Xu family patriarch like a ghost.

Before the other party could speak, Elder Xue struck out with a palm, the golden palm print carrying the terrifying power of a fifth-grade supreme being, as fast as lightning.

"Spirit-Destroying Fist!"

The Xu family patriarch's expression changed drastically. In his haste, he could only gather spiritual power to resist, but he was only a fourth-grade supreme being. How could he be a match for Elder Xue?

With a "poof," the golden palm print pierced through his defenses without any doubt, striking his chest hard.

The Xu family patriarch coughed up blood and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, his life force instantly waning.

At this moment, Elder Xue descended like a god of war. His gaze swept over another First-Rank Supreme who was about to launch a sneak attack on Xue Xiaoyu. A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he struck out with another palm.

Before the first-rank supreme being could even react, his heart was shattered by a palm strike containing the power of a fifth-rank supreme being, killing him instantly.

Meanwhile, Elder Xue once again pressed on to the Xu family patriarch.

The Xu family patriarch unleashed his spiritual power, summoning an earth-yellow avatar identical to Xu Tian's.

But upon seeing this, Elder Xue transformed his body into a black Dharma body about five hundred feet tall.

"Bang bang!"

The two supreme avatars exchanged dozens of blows, ultimately ending with the destruction of both the physical body and the spirit of the Xu family patriarch.

"Second brother, third brother!"

Seeing the tragic death of the Xu family patriarch and realizing that all was lost, and witnessing the instant killing of two of his comrades by Elder Xue, Xu Tian was deeply shaken and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The fiery cage surrounding him was already causing him immense suffering, and now that he had lost his composure, the purple flames took advantage of his vulnerability, burning his meridians and causing him to grimace in pain.

Lin Suzhou seized the opportunity, his fingertip pressing down sharply with a spiritual seal: "Burn!"

The purple flames within the fiery cage suddenly surged several meters, shooting skyward and completely engulfing Xu Tian's figure.

Xu Tian's mournful screams echoed from within the formation, growing weaker and weaker until they finally dissipated completely.

As the flames gradually faded, only charred ashes remained, drifting away in the wind.

At the same time, Xue Xiaoyu also unleashed a blue Dharma body, eliminating the last First-Rank Supreme.

A woman in a blood-stained red dress stood in mid-air, coldly watching the panicked Xu family members below.

Lin Suzhou looked down at the chaotic Xu family mansion, his killing intent still undiminished.

After summoning back the substitute puppet, he manipulated the spirit array to continuously bombard the remaining members of the Xu family.

After half an incense stick's time of merciless slaughter, Lin Suzhou had killed all the members of the Xu family.

After Elder Xue and Song Hao packed all of the Xu family's valuables into their storage rings.

Lin Suzhou even burned down every house, every tree, and every blade of grass here with the Nine Netherworld Fire.

The ground turned down three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and the earth dragons and other small creatures hidden in the soil were cut in two.

Lin Suzhou was relieved only after checking each child's breathing and confirming that they were all dead.

Song Hao was dumbfounded by Lin Suzhou's actions.

Even after walking a distance and then turning back, Lin Suzhou actually managed to find a few families who had just returned.

With a flick of his finger, Lin Suzhou reduced everything to ashes.

After this battle, the Xu family of Tianxing Continent was completely wiped out.
