Chapter 327: Leave
Boom!
Despite her strength, Qing Yanjing was outnumbered. After a fierce clash, she spat out blood and was thrown back thousands of miles before she managed to stop herself.
An elderly man spoke slowly, "Qing Yanjing, your father was the previous leader of the Futuo Ancient Clan. As a member of the clan and its saintess, you must think of the clan's interests."
Qing Yanjing's eyes were icy as she stared at the three elders. "Stop pretending. You want me to marry into the Maha Ancient Clan just to suppress the Qing branch and prevent us from leading the Futuo Ancient Clan again."
Her voice grew colder. "The more you push me, the less likely I am to agree. I refuse to marry into the Maha Ancient Clan. I'll improve my skills, return, and reclaim the leadership for the Qing branch."
One of the elders spoke in a chilling tone, "Since you're so stubborn, we have no choice but to capture you."
The third elder, hands behind his back, arrogantly said, "Qing Yanjing, you can't defeat the three of us alone. Surrender now, or you'll get hurt."
Qing Yanjing scoffed, "In your dreams. I'll only surrender if I die fighting here today!"
"Alright then, let's go. But don't kill her," the first elder said as he began to channel immense spiritual energy.
"You three old men, ganging up on a young woman? You're disgraceful," a lighthearted voice echoed through the sky.
"Who is it?" The three elders looked around but saw no one.
"Your grandfather," the voice came again, and a handsome, imposing figure stepped out of the void.
It was Xiao Tian.
As soon as he appeared, Qing Yanjing and the elders fixed their eyes on him, surprised that they couldn't see through his cultivation level.
What did this mean?
It meant his cultivation far surpassed theirs.
One elder addressed Xiao Tian, "Sir, this is the Futuo Ancient Clan's business. Outsiders should not interfere, lest they provoke someone they can't handle."
"And what of the Futuo Ancient Clan?" Xiao Tian sneered. "Others might fear you, but not me."
"How dare you!"
"Impudent!"
"Are you seeking death?"
The three elders were enraged. They were proud of their affiliation with the Futuo Ancient Clan, and wherever they went, even Celestial Grade Celestial Supremes respected them. Yet now, someone dared to say they weren't afraid of the Futuo Ancient Clan, an outright insult.
Despite the elders' fury, Qing Yanjing's eyes gleamed with a strange light. This was the first time she had heard someone outside the Primordial Five Clans speak so boldly.
She thought, "But does he have the strength to back up such arrogance?"
Xiao Tian continued calmly, "If you leave now, I won't kill you."
"You brat, you're asking for death!"
"Attack together!"
"Let him see the power of the Futuo Ancient Clan's Celestial Supremes!"
The three elders roared and unleashed their spiritual power. In an instant, their bodies expanded into giant, crystalline figures, revealing their Celestial Supreme forms.
Though they appeared arrogant, they were actually being very cautious against Xiao Tian, who had a higher cultivation level.
Boom!
The three attacked simultaneously, shaking the stars and causing celestial bodies to crumble. Their combined might was terrifying.
"Leave!"
But Xiao Tian didn't even activate his Celestial Supreme form. With a mere wave of his sleeve, a tremendous force swept the three elders away.
Pfft!
The attack sent them flying, coughing up blood.
"So strong!"
Stabilizing themselves, the three elders looked at Xiao Tian with dread.
"You really want to interfere with the Futuo Ancient Clan's matters?" one elder asked. "Returning the saintess is decreed by our Grand Elder, Futuo Xuan. He's a Saint Grade Celestial Supreme. If you don't want trouble, don't get involved."
"Don't try to intimidate me with Futuo Xuan. Even if he were here, I wouldn't fear him," Xiao Tian said coolly.
Now that he had the strength of a Saint Grade Celestial Supreme, Xiao Tian didn't fear Futuo Xuan. Unless Futuo Xuan used the clan's sacred treasure, it was uncertain who would win.
"Divine Pulse Skill: Giant Spirit's Heaven-Smiting Hand!" one elder roared, launching a colossal, godlike fist that shattered the void with its power.
"Wind God's Avatar!" another mid-level Celestial Supreme formed a massive spiritual avatar behind him, summoning a storm of spiritual energy.
Whoosh!
The avatar unleashed ten giant dragons of wind at Xiao Tian.
"Spirit Conversion Secret Technique!" the third elder summoned a giant spiritual avatar, transforming the storm of spiritual energy into a starry torrent, aiming to crush Xiao Tian.
Their combined might surged several times stronger than before, yet Xiao Tian remained unfazed.
Even with only two of his bodies merged, Xiao Tian, at the peak of Celestial Grade, was still beyond their reach.
"Great Devouring Technique!"
Xiao Tian sliced the air, summoning a massive black hole that swallowed their attacks whole.
"Devour and Destroy!"
Three black holes appeared behind the elders, pulling them in and tearing at their bodies, absorbing their spiritual energy.
"Spare us!"
"We were wrong!"
Feeling their energy drain, the elders were terrified. Although Celestial Supremes were hard to kill, they weren't truly immortal. Once their energy was exhausted, they would die.
"Leave. I don't want to see you again," Xiao Tian said, waving his sleeve to send them far away with spatial power.
He didn't kill them, as he intended to use Qing Yanjing to gain control over the Futuo Ancient Clan in the future.
