As the sun began to set on the battlefield, Ling Xiao's fists flew through the air with precision and power, striking Han Jiao Qin with a series of swift and deadly blows. The latter stumbled backward, his defenses weakening as Ling Xiao's relentless assault took its toll.
Han Jiao Qin's face twisted in a snarl as he summoned a dark energy shield, attempting to block Ling Xiao's attacks. But Ling Xiao was unfazed, his fists slicing through the shield like paper. The shield shattered, and Han Jiao Qin stumbled backward, his eyes widening in shock.
Ling Xiao pressed his advantage, his fists striking true again and again. Han Jiao Qin attempted to counterattack, but Ling Xiao was too fast, too strong. He parried every blow with ease, his own attacks coming faster and more furious than ever.
The battle raged on, the two combatants clashing in a spectacular display of martial prowess. Ling Xiao's strength and speed seemed to know no bounds, his movements a blur as he struck again and again.
Han Jiao Qin stumbled backward, his breathing growing labored as Ling Xiao's attacks took their toll. He attempted to summon another shield, but Ling Xiao was ready for him. With a swift strike, Ling Xiao shattered the shield and sent Han Jiao Qin flying across the battlefield.
The latter struggled to rise, his movements slow and labored. Ling Xiao approached him, his fists clenched and ready to deliver the final blow. But just as he struck, Xiǎo Lán appeared out of nowhere, knocking Ling Xiao's fist aside.
Ling Xiao turned to face her, his eyes narrowing in surprise. "I won't let you kill him," Xiǎo Lán said, her voice firm.
Ling Xiao's response was a fierce cry as he launched himself at her, their fists clashing in a flurry of punches and kicks. The battle raged on, the three combatants exchanging blows and neither gaining the upper hand.
Ling Xiao's strength and speed were matched by Xiǎo Lán's agility and determination. Han Jiao Qin, meanwhile, struggled to rise, his eyes fixed on the two combatants with a mixture of shock and admiration.
Ling Xiao's fists continued to rain down on Han Jiao Qin, each blow landing with precision and force. Han Jiao Qin's defenses were weakening, his body battered and bruised. Despite his attempts to counterattack, Ling Xiao was too strong, too fast.
As the battle raged on, Ling Xiao's anger only grew. He thought of all the pain and suffering Han Jiao Qin and his family had caused, and his determination to end their reign of terror intensified.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Han Jiao Qin lay at Ling Xiao's feet, his body broken and his life force fading. Ling Xiao stood over him, his chest heaving with exhaustion and his eyes blazing with fury.
"You're a monster," Ling Xiao spat, his voice venomous. "You and your family have brought nothing but pain and suffering to this world. And now, it's time to pay the price."
Han Jiao Qin looked up at Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with fear and pleading. "Please," he begged. "Spare my family. They're innocent."
Ling Xiao laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "Innocent?" he repeated. "Your family is guilty of countless crimes, and they'll pay for every single one of them."
With a swift and deadly motion, Ling Xiao ended Han Jiao Qin's life. The latter's body slumped to the ground, his eyes frozen in a permanent stare.
Ling Xiao stood over him, his chest still heaving with exhaustion. He knew that this was only the beginning. He would hunt down every member of Han Jiao Qin's family and eliminate them, no matter the cost.
The thought sent a shiver down his spine, but he steeled himself for the task ahead. He would not rest until justice was served.
Ling Xiao turned to Xiǎo Lán, his eyes burning with determination. "Go," he said, his voice firm. "Help the people of the city. They need you now more than ever."
Xiǎo Lán nodded, her face set with a resolute expression. "I'll go," she said. "But what about you? What will you do?"
Ling Xiao's gaze turned cold, his jaw clenched in anger. "I'll go to the Qin family estate," he said. "I'll make sure they pay for what they've done."
Xiǎo Lán's eyes widened in shock. "Ling Xiao, no!" she exclaimed. "You can't just go there alone!"
Ling Xiao's expression didn't change. "I have to," he said. "I have to make sure they're held accountable for their actions."
Xiǎo Lán's face fell, but she knew better than to argue with Ling Xiao when he was in this state. She nodded, her eyes filling with tears. "Be careful," she said. "Please, Ling Xiao, be careful."
Ling Xiao nodded, his expression softening slightly. "I will," he said. "I promise."
With that, Xiǎo Lán turned and ran, disappearing into the chaos of the city. Ling Xiao watched her go, his heart heavy with worry. He knew what he was about to do was dangerous, but he had to do it.
He turned and made his way to the Qin family estate, his fists clenched and his heart burning with determination. He would make them pay for what they'd done, no matter the cost.
As he approached the estate, he could feel the air grow thick with tension. The Qin family's guards were on high alert, their eyes scanning the surroundings with suspicion.
Ling Xiao sneered at them, his eyes flashing with contempt. "You think you can stop me?" he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "I'll show you what true power looks like."
With a swift and deadly motion, Ling Xiao took down the guards, his fists flying with precision and force. He stormed through the estate, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of the Qin family.
Finally, he came to the throne room, where the patriarch of the Qin family sat, his face twisted in a snarl. "You fool," he spat at Ling Xiao. "You think you can defeat me?"
Ling Xiao's response was a cold, mirthless laugh. "I'll show you what true power looks like," he said, his fists clenched and his eyes blazing with fury.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to deliver the final blow to Qin Zheng, Han Mei Qin appeared out of nowhere, his eyes blazing with fury. "You'll never defeat my family!" he spat, launching himself at Ling Xiao. But Ling Xiao was unfazed. With a swift and deadly motion, he took down Han Mei Qin, his fists flying with precision and force. Han Mei Qin crumpled to the ground, defeated.
Ling Xiao then turned his attention back to Qin Zheng, his eyes blazing with fury. "Your family's reign is over," he said, his voice cold and deadly. "You've brought nothing but pain and suffering to this city. It's time to pay the price."
Qin Zheng sneered at Ling Xiao, but his eyes were filled with fear. He knew he was no match for Ling Xiao's power. With a swift and deadly motion, Ling Xiao ended Qin Zheng's life. The patriarch of the Qin family slumped to the ground, his eyes frozen in a permanent stare.
Ling Xiao stood over him, his chest heaving with exhaustion. He knew that this was the end of the Qin family's reign of terror. He turned and walked away from the estate, leaving the chaos and destruction behind.
He found Xiǎo Lán waiting for him, her eyes filled with concern. "Ling Xiao, what happened?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"It's over," Ling Xiao said, his voice firm. "The Qin family's reign is over. We can leave this city now."
Xiǎo Lán nodded, her eyes filling with relief. "Let's go," she said. "We've been here too long."
Ling Xiao nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings one last time. He knew that they had to leave, to find a new place to start anew. Together, they walked away from the city, leaving the chaos and destruction behind.
As they disappeared into the distance, the city began to rebuild. The people, finally free from the Qin family's tyranny, began to heal and start anew. And Ling Xiao and Xiǎo Lán, hand in hand, walked towards a new horizon, ready to face whatever challenges came their way.
