Immediately, a soft force erupted from his palms, pushing Xiao Yan aside.
His hands moved rapidly in formation, conjuring a Mirror of Condensed Ice before him.
Black mist swirled, forming a semi-transparent black ice mirror.
On the mirror's surface, Galleo Bi's grotesque face was reflected, hiding Xiao Jian's figure behind a shroud of cold fog that gave an almost illusory feeling.
"Crack!"
The fragile mirror shattered effortlessly, scattering black ice shards into the air. Galleo Bi's already twisted grin became even more deranged.
"Die, you wretch—"
His words cut off abruptly. Behind the shattered mirror, Xiao Jian's lips curved into a mocking smirk as Dou Qi comparable to a Dou Shi erupted from his body.
The flying ice shards reflected the expression of shock and disbelief on Galleo Bi's face, each shard seeming to silently mock him.
Xiao Jian finished the final hand seal. The surrounding black mist converged into crescent-shaped ice blades, spinning around his body.
In an instant, the individual blades connected, forming a spiraling storm of ice.
"Die, old Galleo dog!"
Xiao Jian shouted, stepping onto a thin layer of black ice he had condensed under his feet and sliding backward. His hand seals shifted simultaneously.
The advanced Xuan-class Dou Skill—Xuan Bing Whirlwind Kill!
The black ice storm surged straight at Galleo Bi, who couldn't even halt his movement in time and was engulfed by the spinning blades.
A piercing scream escaped for a brief instant, only to be cut off abruptly.
Xiao Jian staggered in place. Xiao Yan acted quickly, rushing forward to support him, while nearby, Sister Xiao Yu's lips parted slightly in shock at the terrifying attack. She hurried over.
"Brother… Xiao Jian! Are you okay?"
Both voices rang almost simultaneously.
"I'm fine. Used a secret technique—this time, it really drained me completely!"
Xiao Jian smiled and shook his head, steadying himself.
Inside his five energy palaces, Dou Qi was nearly depleted. His internal organs ached with weakness. Using a technique to infuse all the energy from the palaces had worked well, but the strain on his body was considerable. Clearly, he'd need to focus on strengthening his body in future training; simply cultivating Dou Qi alone wouldn't suffice.
Xiao Yan's face changed slightly as he sensed his condition.
Depleted? He's practically drained completely!
"Brother, this is a bit reckless!" Xiao Yan said helplessly.
"Hehe, I just wanted to test the secret technique. Otherwise, I'd have run away instead of clashing head-on," Xiao Jian explained with a grin.
Sister Xiao Yu's lips twitched, but she said nothing. Silently, she pressed her jade-like hand against Xiao Jian's back, letting her gentle Water-attribute Dou Qi restore his strength.
Comfortable.
Feeling the nourishing Dou Qi fill him, Xiao Jian's expression brightened.
"You little trickster, hiding all your strength!"
Xiao Zhan approached Xiao Jian, his tone a mix of surprise and admiration.
"Uh…"
Xiao Jian simply closed his eyes, pretending to stumble.
"Alright, alright. Still pretending in front of your father? You've got a mysterious teacher guiding you, right? Or… the same teacher as Yan'er?"
Xiao Zhan smirked, teasing him while reasoning confidently.
Xiao Jian remained silent.
Seeing his tacit acknowledgment, Xiao Zhan laughed and stepped aside, revealing the scene behind him.
The three elders' eyes widened as they stared at Xiao Jian.
The ground was scarred from the ice blade storm. Galleo Bi's body was covered in black ice, his injuries visible beneath the shimmering surface, yet no blood flowed. The sun reflected off the ice, giving him an eerie appearance.
The mercenaries surrounding them were dumbfounded. They stared at Xiao Jian like he was a monster.
Can this even be called a Dou Practitioner? Even a Dou Shi wouldn't have such overwhelming power!
"Pretty effective!"
Looking at Galleo Bi frozen into an ice sculpture, Xiao Jian was both surprised and excited. His first use of the advanced Xuan-class Dou Skill, Xuan Bing Whirlwind Kill, had exceeded expectations.
Though he had only killed a half-dead Da Dou Shi, it was still a Da Dou Shi—a top-tier expert in Wu Tan City.
One shouldn't be too greedy.
"Not just effective—this destroys the Galleo family. Without Galleo Bi, the remaining two elders can't compete against us three and the clan leader. Wu Tan City's market will belong entirely to the Xiao family!"
