Chapter 701 - Nether strikes (2/2)

“The Xiao Clan? He’s from the Xiao Clan?”

It caught Curisa off guard when he heard Ming’s words, for he was well aware of the Xiao Clan. That clan had arrived at the Arcana Land a thousand years ago in an invasion, and it expanded its territories aggressively. The Light Clan had sacrificed almost half of their entire clan to resist the Xiao Clan. Every member of the Xiao Clan was born with the ability to fight. He had thought that the Xiao Clan had long gone extinct. But he did not expect that some of them had escaped into this world and continued to thrive.

Ming stared at Xiao Luo. Then he said, “Blood-red eyes, incredibly explosive power, and his surname is Xiao. It can’t be wrong. He’s definitely from the Xiao Clan!”

“Gulp!”

Curisa swallowed his saliva with much difficulty. “They’re still alive. King, the Xiao Clan is our clan’s nemesis,” he said as he turned to look at Xiao Luo, and continued, “It looks like he has just begun exploiting the power of Xiao Clan’s blood. There’s still a lot of room for his ability to grow. We cannot let him leave here alive. Otherwise, he will be a serious threat to us in the future!”

Ming did not respond. He was deep in thought about something.

Curisa suddenly remembered something terrible, and his body trembled. He said, “Could it be that he is the demon lord who would destroy the world eventually, as foreseen by Granny Witch?”

When Ming heard that, his expression changed too. He was thinking about that possibility as well. Granny Witch was the Light Clan’s prophet. She knew everything about the world, be it five hundred years ago or in the future. One day, she foresaw the destruction of Arcana Land, and millions of lives would perish. In her prophecy, she saw it would be a man enshrouded by a black mist who will be the one to cause the destruction. It was then that she requested them to locate and bring home the Holy Highness to deal with the impending disaster.

If the demon lord whom Granny Witch had seen in her prophecy and this man from the Xiao Clan were the same, then the wisest choice was to kill him!

However, he wondered if Xiao Luo was the man in question.

If it turned out that Xiao Luo was not the demon lord, then it would mean he was murdering an innocent man.

Ming was dumbfounded, but he finally made his decision. He was going to kill this man from the Xiao Clan. He would rather wrong an innocent man than allow the demon lord to go to Arcana Land.

“People of the Light Clan, don’t think that you can leave this place alive. None of you will!”

Xiao Luo roared fiercely as he stomped his right foot on the ground. A large two-ton rock rose from the ground, then Xiao Luo swiveled his body and kicked the rock.

BOOM! BANG!

With an enormously forceful kick, Xiao Luo sent rock soaring directly toward Ming. It made a loud screeching sound as if a meteorite had zoomed past Earth.

Ming simply pointed at the rock with his index finger, and the flying rock suddenly stopped in mid-air. In the next second, the entire rock exploded and disintegrated into countless pieces of pebbles.

The police officers observing from afar dropped their jaws, for the sight was too terrifying to behold—simply too shocking!

“Haha, haha…”

A loud peal of laughter echoed through the park, and Xiao Luo emerged from the dust cloud. His Nether Claw flashed through the air and was headed directly for Ming’s neck.

Ming remained calm and indifferent. He stabbed Xiao Luo’s palm directly with the sword in his hand like a sharp needle.

SWISH!

The saber pierced deep into Xiao Luo’s right arm, even cutting through the bones, and blood spurted profusely.

“Arghh!”

Xiao Lu groaned in agony as he instantly transformed his right hand into an eagle’s claws, and its dagger-like fingers tore into Ming’s right shoulder with a tremendous force. Xiao Luo had ignored the pain from his right arm and struck Ming even at the risk of hurting himself further.

Ming frowned a little and raised his saber. He pulled the blade from Xiao Luo’s right arm, slicing through bone and flesh.

SPLATTER!

More blood spurted out as Xiao Luo felt an excruciating pain shoot through his body. His attack had failed. He backed off with his damaged right arm. It was soaked in blood with pieces of flesh hanging loosely around the exposed bone.
