Thunderclap explosions resounded.

The two old men's complexions changed drastically, but it was already too late. Their outstretched palms were turned into a bloody mess by Wang Xiaoqiang's Thunderclap Annihilation Palm, rendered completely useless then and there.

The Heavenly Demoness was immediately stunned.

Wang Xiaoqiang was so ferociously powerful!

Then why had he been hiding behind me all this time, not making a move?

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Demon felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance. This kid was posturing.

Wang Xiaoqiang was clear in his heart that his cultivation base was not as good as the two old men's, but the strength of his physical body was far superior to the two. In this situation, he could only fight at close quarters, so he struck while the iron was hot, launching two more palms towards the Eighth Transformation Immortal old men.

The two old men had already realized that Wang Xiaoqiang was a body refining strongman and not their match in close combat, so they kept retreating in haste.

Wang Xiaoqiang summoned his Patterned Beast, leaped onto its back, and then with a motion of will, the Patterned Beast, following its master's intentions, disappeared from sight, stealthily approaching the two Eighth Transformation Immortals.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang summon such a powerful pet beast and then disappear along with it, the two old men felt a strange sensation in their hearts, their eyes revealing shock and fear. They stood back to back, cautiously on guard.

At this moment, the keen Heavenly Demoness had guessed Wang Xiaoqiang's intention. Her hidden weapons were ready, and she shot them towards the two old men standing back to back.

The two old men were on guard against Wang Xiaoqiang and had not paid attention to the Heavenly Demoness. Right then, one of the old men was blinded, his face covered in blood pearls, expressing intense pain as he howled in rage and launched an attack at the Heavenly Demoness with his Divine Sense.

Wang Xiaoqiang, mounted on the Patterned Beast, charged at him and, upon getting close, suddenly leaped down from the beast, planting a palm on the back of the old man's head.

Crack!

A flash of an electric arc in the palm, and the old man was struck down like a bird with broken wings. Exceptionally disheveled.

The other old man, seeing his companion struck down with life and death uncertain, showed a look of panic in his eyes, flicked his sleeve, and immediately took to flight.

With a thought from Wang Xiaoqiang, the invisibly hidden Patterned Beast pounced on the old man, bumping him back towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

The old man, seeing himself knocked back again to Wang Xiaoqiang's side, showed immense fear in his eyes.

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered nastily and slapped his palm on the old man's chest. With a crack and a flash of lightning, the old man's chest bones collapsed, he spat blood and fell down.

By then, Xia Yunjie's power had crumbled.

Xia Yunjie, seeing his forces completely annihilated, let out a wry laugh but did not flee. Instead, he drew his Immortal Sword and threw himself at Xia Junjie, intent on perishing together with him.

Xia Junjie was no match for Xia Yunjie and dashed behind the Heavenly Demoness and Wang Xiaoqiang, shouting, "A reward of twenty Corpse Crystals for the one who slays Xia Yunjie!"

A single Corpse Crystal was equivalent to one hundred Demon Crystals. Twenty Corpse Crystals were equivalent to 2000 Demon Crystals; such a generous bounty indeed!

Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed as he drew the Penglai Immortal Sword, slicing at Fourth Transformation Immortal Xia Yunjie.

The Penglai Immortal Sword could kill across two tiers, let alone, Xia Yunjie was only one tier higher than Wang Xiaoqiang.

The Sword Light flashed, and a blood mist rose.

Xia Yunjie's head was cleaved off with one sword strike.

"Excellent, Young Master Wang, magnificent! You are a great hero. Once everything is settled, I will reward you with a deputy city!"

Wang Xiaoqiang did not reply, his expression indifferent, looking down below.

Beneath him,

watching the forces of Xia Yunjie and Xia Junjie heavily damaged, the other two Young Lords plotted in whispers before jointly attacking, hoping to reap the rewards of the struggle.

Although neither faction had high cultivation, with both being below the Fifth Transformation Immortal, their advantage was in numbers. As if prepared, or perhaps considering the lower cultivation of their forces, the two Young Lords had already brought forth three large groups of men,

Each group having over thirty people when they suddenly formed a formation and attacked together, an imposing force.

Facing such powerful combined forces, with both Wang Xiaoqiang and the Heavenly Demon depleted from battle, they could barely hold on. At this critical juncture, Wang Xiaoqiang could only rely on the Patterned Beast.

The Patterned Beast had learned the Leo Technique from the Star Chart but had yet to show it off, and now it was a good opportunity.

With a thought from Wang Xiaoqiang, the Patterned Beast, moved according to its master's will, and in utter silence, leaped towards one of the approaching groups formed in battle array. As its massive body landed within the formation, it suddenly adopted a strange pose, its huge mouth opened wide, and let out an earthshaking roar at the line of people:

Roar!!

Heaven and earth shook. This lethal roar—gleaned from the Leo Constellation Chart—immediately shattered the heads of those with weaker cultivation, scattering blood and brains, the dead meeting gruesome ends. Those above the Fifth Transformation Immortal, although their heads didn't burst, had their internal meridians shattered by the roar, fainting on the spot.

The formation of thirty people was instantly broken by the force of the roar. The dead lay dead, the fainted lay unconscious, and the rest fled in terror, their formation utterly collapsed.

Seeing this scene, the other group was shocked and trembled as if paralyzed by fear. They momentarily forgot to disperse their formation, presenting another opportunity to the Patterned Beast, which silently leaped again, charging in front of that group, and after adopting a strange pose, let out another thunderous roar.

The roar was like a blast of thunder, and under its forceful wave, six people from this group of cultivators had their heads exploded, falling dead to the ground, nine fell unconscious, and the remaining five were so frightened that they curled up and rolled away into the distance.

The devastating roars of the Patterned Beast not only scattered the two groups, but even the two Young Lords, horrified by the ghastly carnage, were petrified, cowering motionless.

When the Patterned Beast used a third roar to disperse the third group, they were thrown into utter disorder, overwhelmed with panic, and everyone scrambled to escape.

As Xia Zhijie fled, he was struck by the massive body of the Beast Pet and flung out like a clay pellet, crashing heavily against the Xia family's mansion wall, creating an imprint of a "big" character, smashed into a human pancake.

Then, the Patterned Beast, following Wang Xiaoqiang's will, charged at Xia Haojie and swallowed him whole, a quick and clean finish.

Kill the enemy with ruthless moves, eliminate the leader to destroy the foe!

After killing the two leaders to intimidate the troops, Wang Xiaoqiang recalled the Patterned Beast and drove it toward the scattering crowd, shouting as he charged forward, "Stop running and surrender quickly, and I'll spare your lives!"

The desperately fleeing crowd, upon hearing this, were greatly shocked and immediately halted their flight, crouching on the ground, daring not to move a muscle.

Only an old man with a white beard, at the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal stage, his eyes flashing coldly and revealing fierce resolve, suddenly leaped into the air, sword in both hands, achieving Man-Sword Unity, he charged at Wang Xiaoqiang.

The move was incredibly fast. Just as he was about to reach Wang Xiaoqiang, the man and beast vanished into thin air.

Seeing his target disappear abruptly, the old man was left in disoriented surprise.

Suddenly, an intensely lethal beast roar sounded.

Roar!!

The Patterned Beast reappeared, its roar aimed at the still dumbfounded white-bearded old man, the sonic boom exploded, and the figure of the Eighth Transformation Immortal was blasted backward by the shockwave.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang smiled triumphantly and immediately drove the Patterned Beast forward. Closing the distance, he slapped the old man's face.

Crack!

A thunderclap echoed, and the old man was struck down and fell to the ground.

With a sneer, Wang Xiaoqiang thrust his Penglai Immortal Sword down, nailing the old man to the ground.

"Any more resistors will meet the same fate!" Wang Xiaoqiang bellowed.

Everyone dared not move any longer, kneeling to the ground.

Xia Junjie saw Wang Xiaoqiang kill the three brothers who competed with him for power and now had subdued the crowd. He immediately flew down to Wang Xiaoqiang, hands raised in the gesture of holding up the sky, and let out a triumphant laugh, "Haha, wonderful, the situation is settled! I, Xia Junjie, am now the City Lord of White Cloud City! Haha..."

Wang Xiaoqiang, looking at the complacent Xia Junjie, suddenly had a thought, his expression turned fierce, and he thrust the Penglai Immortal Sword into Xia Junjie's chest with great force.

"Pfff..." Xia Junjie spat out a mouthful of blood, his face showing shock, resentment, and finally resignation.

The crowd crouching on the ground had their eyes wide with astonishment; Wang Xiaoqiang had actually killed their master. Such ambition, even the Heavenly Demoness was shocked, this man whom she had given her chastity was not that simple! He truly deserved the title of an Immortal Dao Heroic Tyrant!

With a cold smile, Wang Xiaoqiang pulled out the Penglai Immortal Sword.

Xia Junjie's body tumbled down.

Raising the Penglai Immortal Sword high, Wang Xiaoqiang forced his voice with power and bellowed, "The Xia Family is a nest of weaklings, unfit to support White Cloud City. Today, I, Wang Xiaoqiang, will take the Xia Family's place and govern White Cloud City. Anyone who dares to disobey will be slain without mercy!"

His voice rolled like thunder, intimidating the entire scene.

The crowd lay prostrate, trembling uncontrollably, not daring even to breathe loudly,

Although Wang Xiaoqiang was only at the Third Transformation of the Immortal in terms of cultivation base, he had an Immortal Sword that could kill across ranks, a powerful pet beast, and was a Body Training Expert. His comprehensive strength was overwhelming, and these people wanted to save their lives; they had no choice but to submit.

Without delay, the people all knelt before Wang Xiaoqiang and yelled in unison, "We are willing to serve under you, you shall be the City Lord of White Cloud City from now on."

The Heavenly Demoness landed beside Wang Xiaoqiang, tearing off the black veil covering her face, and spoke with admiration, "So your name is Wang Xiaoqiang."

Wang Xiaoqiang turned and gazed at the Heavenly Demoness. He saw a face that could put the moon to shame, stunning enough to make one's heart race, with just an added tint of cold, lethal aura. However, such a woman, if conquered, would taste all the more sweet.

He shot a smile at the Heavenly Demoness and then Wang Xiaoqiang called out, "Where is the steward of the Xia Family?"

No sooner had he spoken, an old man at the First Transformation of the Immortal knelt in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, "I, I am,"

"What's your name?"

"My name is Hong Sanyang."

"Hmm, Hong Sanyang, that's a nice name. When I was young, I was a farmer, often herding sheep. Those sheep always listened to me. Of course, there were some disobedient ones too, and they all ended up being disciplined by me. I hope you will listen to me as well. Otherwise, I will treat you just like those sheep," Wang Xiaoqiang said seriously.

Listening to Wang Xiaoqiang's words, the Heavenly Demoness couldn't help but let out a chuckle. She was wumei and full of allure, her feminine charm blossoming.

Hong Sanyang continuously kowtowed, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. What are your orders, City Lord?"

"I ask you, has Xia Hou breathed his last yet?" Wang Xiaoqiang inquired.

"Not yet." Hong Sanyang replied.

"Go, finish him," Wang Xiaoqiang ordered.

"Yes," Hong Sanyang responded, getting to his feet and walking toward the inner hall. He gave a cold glance at the nearly breathless Xia Hou, then flicked his finger, a burst of Spiritual Energy hitting Xia Hou's forehead.

With a roll of his eyes, Xia Hou breathed his last.

A generation's City Lord, thus obliterated! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian with a recommendation ticket or a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
