I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

Shen Xizhou: "There's no time to pretend anymore, it's time to go on stage..."

Hey.

The last word was still stuck in his throat when the person next to him disappeared.

The strong wind whipped up the sand and dust on the ground.

Xu Nanyi stomped her foot on the ground, and the bluestone slab immediately blasted open a deep pit.

The guard from the Kui clan who launched the sneak attack with a knife didn't even finish his slashing motion.

A tremendous force surged through my abdomen.

Xu Nanyi delivered a flying kick, and the sound of ribs breaking was particularly jarring in the quiet front yard.

The guard lost control and was sent flying backward.

boom!

The first vermilion gate was smashed to pieces.

boom!

The second carved wooden door shattered into wood chips all over the floor.

The figure smashed through four or five doors in succession, finally embedding itself in the stone wall of the inner courtyard like a dead dog, and passed out.

Kui Ke raised his hand and covered his face.

I can't bear to look, I really can't bear to look! How could there be such idiots rushing to their deaths!

Don't you have any idea what your own cultivation level is?

Even I, your humble servant, obediently became a hostage. You, a mere Golden Core Realm watchdog, think you can rescue me? You're asking for trouble, and that's not how you give yourself away.

The remaining guards were stunned into place by this earth-shattering blow.

Once they realized what was happening, they all drew their long swords.

Kui Ke didn't have time to stop those idiots from going to their deaths. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a handful of light yellow powder from his storage bag.

Throw it forward with force.

The pollen from the Sleeping Flower, carried by the wind, covered the faces of the guards.

He didn't even let out a scream.

Several guards' legs went weak.

thump.

thump.

They collapsed one after another on the steps, unconscious.

After doing all this, Wei Ke bent his knees and, without any restraint as a young master from a noble family, slid down to a knee that was two meters long.

It stopped steadily at Xu Nanyi's feet and respectfully offered the remaining half bag of pollen with both hands.

"Grandma, please calm down! These blind fools have offended you and dirtied your hands—it's not worth it!"

He pointed to the unconscious guard on the ground and explained in a low voice.

"Hostages are only valuable if they're alive! If we kill them all, these old fogies might get desperate and refuse to pay!"

"Use this sleeping pollen to stun them; it'll save time and effort, and we can get a good price for it!"

Although he had already decided to betray his family, he still had the blood of the Kui family flowing in his veins. If he could save these fools' lives, he could say he had done right by his ancestors.

The voice just fell.

A series of rapid footsteps echoed from deep within the inner courtyard.

"Who dares to trespass on my Wei family's property!"

Five or six young cultivators dressed in gold-trimmed outfits, wielding magical artifacts, rushed out menacingly.

Kui Ke's eyes were surprisingly bright.

These guys are none other than his mortal enemies who, relying on their talent, have always shrunk his cultivation resources within the family!

Kui Ke suddenly stood up. "Grandma! It's them! These are all geniuses that our Kui family is focusing on nurturing!"

"If we kidnap them, the head of the family will have to sell everything they own to raise the ransom!"

"Especially the one at the very front, even stripping him naked would be worth hundreds of high-grade magic crystals!"

The geniuses from the Wei family on the other side were so enraged by these words that they were practically fuming.

The leading youth pointed at Wei Ke, his finger trembling, "Wei Ke! You traitorous beast! You actually colluded with outsiders to kidnap your own people! You don't deserve the surname Wei!"

The others also joined in with a string of curses.

"Traitor! When the patriarch returns, I'll skin you alive!"

Kui Ke not only wasn't angry, but continued to provoke him.

Yes, yes, yes! Keep cursing like that, say more! Shout louder! The harsher you curse, the more it proves my loyalty to my great-aunt, that's as clear as day!

Xu Nanyi thought these people were really noisy, so she took a step forward.

The golden-red totem on the back of the neck suddenly lit up, and the scalding temperature instantly burned the air.

boom!

An extremely terrifying pressure radiated outwards from her center, and a huge phoenix phantom suddenly spread its wings behind her.

The bluestone slabs in the front yard shattered into dust.

The geniuses who had just been arrogantly criticizing Wei Ke now felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on their heads.

The internal organs shifted wildly, and the blood flowed backward.

boom! boom! boom!

Several people simultaneously slammed their knees to the ground, even creating a deep crater.

They lay motionless on the ground, unable to move even a finger, their breath completely taken away.

What kind of monster is this?!

Seeing this, Shen Xizhou quickly stepped forward and snatched the pollen bag from Wei Ke's hand.

Although this stray dog ​​was annoying, one thing was true: a living hostage is definitely more useful than a dead one.

He moved swiftly, grabbed a handful of pollen, and smeared it on their faces without any hesitation.

These people were already in a daze from the oppressive aura, and after inhaling the pollen, their eyes rolled back and they completely lost consciousness.

Just as the last disciple fell.

With his last ounce of strength, he pressed his fingers firmly against the base of the stone lion beside him.

The ear-piercing buzzing sound instantly shattered the tranquility of the entire Wei family, and the ninth-order array patterns hidden underground lit up one by one.

A red warning light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire mansion.

The formation has been triggered!

From all directions, countless disciples of the Wei family rushed out of the houses, weapons in hand.

Just then, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted from the direction of the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Dark clouds rolled in, and a strong wind blew.

An old man dressed in a black robe walked step by step from the back of the mountain, stepping on the void. With each step he took, a ripple spread through the air.

"You audacious madman! I spared your life outside the city, yet you dare to come here seeking death!"

The surrounding Wei family disciples were immediately invigorated.

"It's the Ancestor!"

"The Ancestor has emerged from seclusion! That demoness is doomed!"

Xu Nanyi tilted her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the old man in mid-air.

That old bastard, what's with the act? He's only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm at best.

Isn't this on the same level as me?

Xu Nanyi twisted her neck, and her bones made a cracking sound.

Since we're at the same level, there's even less need to be polite.

Xu Nanyi exerted force with her ankle, and with a loud bang, a crater three meters in diameter was blasted open where she had been standing.

His entire body transformed into a golden-red streak of light, soaring into the sky against the raging wind.

Kui Lin originally maintained the airs of a reclusive sage.

The next second, a fist burning with golden flames magnified infinitely in front of them.

He was horrified, and filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

How dare she take the initiative to attack!

In a hurry, the old man quickly formed hand seals, and a thick ice shield appeared in front of him.

boom!

His fist slammed hard into the ice shield.

The standoff lasted less than half a second.

With a snap, the ice shield shattered into countless ice shards.

The immense recoil force traveled through his arms, and Wei Lin felt a sharp pain in his arm bones as he plummeted straight down from mid-air.

Boom!

He crashed heavily into the ruins of the front yard, raising clouds of dust.

Those disciples of the Wei family who were just cheering were all frozen in place, dumbfounded.

What happened?

How come the old ancestor was smashed into the ground without even taking a single move!

Xu Nanyi landed lightly back on the ground and walked step by step toward the deep pit.

The old man scrambled out of the pit, covered in dust and spitting out a mouthful of blood. He stared intently at Xu Nanyi as she approached, frantically gathering spiritual energy in his hands.

Dozens of thunder dragons formed in mid-air, roaring as they lunged at her.

Instead of retreating, Xu Nanyi advanced, directly charging towards the Thunder Dragon, her hands becoming afterimages as she tore and ripped left and right.

scoff!scoff!

The violent lightning-attribute spiritual power was easily torn to shreds by her pure physical strength.

She lunged forward, closing in on the old man in an instant, raising her right leg high and bringing it down with a sonic boom that tore through the air.

Kui Lin raised his arms to block.

boom!

Kui Lin's knees buckled, and he shattered the stone slab on the ground.

The one-sided beating began.

Xu Nanyi's every punch and kick landed squarely on the old man's body.

His fist shattered the protective aura, and his knee broke his ribs.

Kui Lin's once-proud cultivation level was utterly useless against this humanoid beast after his realm fell.

After dozens of consecutive hits.

Kui Lin's spiritual energy shield completely collapsed, and he slumped to the ground.
