Chapter 280 The Strongest in the Xiao Family
The elders of the Illuminati didn't pay much attention to Tong Qianjun's aura.
Although the King-level prodigy possesses extraordinary talent, he is ultimately young, while he is a veteran King-level expert with a higher cultivation level.
"I'll deal with this brat later. You two go and subdue Xiao Chen," he whispered to the two men beside him, who both nodded.
Then he looked at Xiao Chen.
"Before we start the war, I have something to ask you."
"What exactly happened to the Xiao family after my Illuminati's Grand Elder led a large number of elites into Jiang City last time?" He stared at Xiao Chen, his voice full of pressure.
Because of that one incident, many of the Illuminati's elite forces were wiped out, and not a single message was sent back.
With so many A-level Lightbringers, including three A-level Lightbringers, and the loss of peak combat power like the First and Second Elders, the Light Society has suffered its most severe blow in history.
The Illuminati today no longer deserves the title of a first-rate power and was nearly swallowed up.
The Illuminati urgently needs to expand its influence and rebuild its strength.
The Xiao family's Rejuvenation Pill is a valuable item, indispensable for expanding their influence.
“The entire Illuminati were wiped out in Jiang City that time,” Xiao Chen replied calmly.
Upon hearing the answer they least wanted to hear, the three Illuminati members' faces darkened.
"The Xiao family... must have a peerless expert helping them, right? They're really lucky..." The Illuminati elder sneered, "If they didn't have a top expert, how could the First and Second Elders, leading so many elites, have failed to leave Jiang City!"
This speculation deterred the Illuminati from taking any further action.
“There are certainly experts out there,” Xiao Chen replied.
"It was a wise move not to send anyone to the Xiao family in Jiang City." The three members of the Illuminati felt relieved upon hearing this.
"Who is that top expert from the Xiao family?" the elder of the Illuminati questioned.
Xiao Chen smiled meaningfully, but did not answer.
“The Xiao family has experts in charge, and you dare to run around instead of staying there. You deserve to be in trouble.” The elder of the Illuminati sneered. “We have found out that the Xiao family’s Rejuvenation Pill and the longevity medicine that has not yet been released for sale both came from you. We will arrest you and interrogate you first to obtain the formula before we threaten the Xiao family.”
“You are so important to the Xiao family, they will be willing to pay any price. It is much easier to break through from you than to attack the Xiao family.”
Xiao Chen chuckled softly after hearing this.
It turns out they thought he was an easy target, the easiest person in the Xiao family to deal with, and wanted to use him as a breakthrough point.
“That old man is a second-tier King-level expert,” he said to Tong Qianjun. “This is your chance.”
Tong Qianjun understood immediately and rushed out, heading straight for the elder of the Illuminati.
"Hmm? You don't know your place!" the elder said with a gloomy face.
"Make this quick and decisive, and don't attract the attention of the Martial Alliance," he instructed before heading towards Tong Qianjun.
"boom!"
Their first encounter was a head-on clash.
"Dengdengdeng..."
Tong Qianjun retreated rapidly, unable to withstand the attack.
The Illuminati elder looked disdainful, glancing at Xiao Chen's side. Seeing that two of his subordinates had already rushed to Xiao Chen's side, he felt relieved and prepared to deal with Tong Qianjun.
Unexpectedly, Tong Qianjun quickly stopped his retreat and attacked with even more ferocious momentum.
The elder of the Illuminati gathered his strength and unleashed a punch with seventy percent of his power, knocking Tong Qianjun back once again, leaving blood on the corner of his mouth.
Before he could catch his breath, Tong Qianjun charged over again, his momentum even stronger.
They're like cockroaches that can't be killed; the more they fight, the stronger they become.
The Illuminati elder stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Is this kid crazy?" He had to take it seriously and repeatedly pushed Tong Qianjun back.
But Tong Qianjun was not afraid of death at all. Even when he was injured, he kept sticking to the wound like a leech.
"Ah...get out!"
The Illuminati elder was extremely annoyed and unleashed a powerful attack.
He really wanted to kill Tong Qianjun.
They had been suppressing their attacks earlier because they were worried that the commotion from the battle would attract the attention of the Martial Alliance patrols. But now, in a fit of anger, they used their deadly move.
"puff……"
Tong Qianjun took the hit and coughed up blood as he flew backward.
Before the Illuminati elder could even smile, his aura suddenly surged.
"What? He broke through!" The elder's eyes widened in disbelief, finally understanding what the kid was doing.
He's using his oppression to break through...
Tong Qianjun became a second-tier King-level martial artist.
The elder of the Illuminati was so angry that his face turned ashen.
He looked towards Xiao Chen, his expression freezing again.
His two trusted subordinates were lying on the ground, lifeless, while Xiao Chen was sitting there perfectly still without moving.
A chill ran through him, and the Illuminati elder couldn't help but feel a chill.
He realized he had been tricked.
Xiao Chen is no ordinary person; he's not someone you can easily take down.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, he no longer held back, using all his strength to repel Tong Qianjun, and then unleashed his full power to attack Xiao Chen.
The capital city is the headquarters of the Martial Alliance, and Martial Alliance personnel patrol every block 24 hours a day. The fight just now may have been exposed, and we can't delay any longer.
The Illuminati elder clenched his hands into claw shapes, aiming at Xiao Chen's collarbone, attempting to subdue him and take him away in one fell swoop.
In the blink of an eye, they were right next to each other.
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, and his true energy rippled out.
"boom!"
Like an eruption of magma, violent true energy burst forth in an instant, faintly carrying the sound of a dragon's roar.
The moment this aura appeared, the elder of the Illuminati's expression changed drastically.
Tong Qianjun's pupils contracted.
He knew that Xiao Chen was very strong, far surpassing himself.
Only after witnessing the power of that instant did he realize that Xiao Chen was far more powerful than he had imagined.
It's like a mountain, impossible to cross.
Xiao Chen did not make a move.
Just from that burst of true energy, the Illuminati elder was thrown off balance and rolled around in the Wu family's living room.
When he stopped, he looked at his palm in horror.
He used his claws to grab Xiao Chen, and was naturally affected by that true energy.
At this moment, both of my palms were a bloody mess, and I felt excruciating pain.
Just by touching Xiao Chen's external true energy, his two hands were already half crippled...
If the momentum hadn't been stopped in time, the body would have been engulfed by that true energy, and the person would have likely died long ago, leaving no trace of their body.
The elder of the Illuminati felt a chill run down his spine and stared at Xiao Chen in shock.
"The Xiao family's expert...it's you!!" He belatedly realized and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
That's terrifying...
Such a young lad from the Xiao family, yet his strength is terrifyingly formidable.
King-level Tier 3! Absolutely King-level Tier 3!
Much stronger than the Grand Elder...
No, even stronger than the Illuminati president!
This was the first time he had faced such formidable strength, and he was quite frightened.
What kind of monster is this kid? Is this even possible?
Looking at the corpse of the Lightbringer on the ground, the elder of the Illuminati had a bitter expression on his face.
Fearing that the Xiao family had powerful experts guarding them, they dared not invade...
They felt that dealing with Xiao Chen, a young man, would be a piece of cake.
They picked an easy target, but it turned out to be the Xiao family's strongest fighter!
It's a kind of bitter, unspeakable frustration...
